"A drawing is essentially a private work, related only to the artist's own needs; a 'finished' statue or canvas is essentially a public, presented work – related far more directly to the demands of communication." – John Berger
"A drawing is an autobiographical record of one's discovery of an event – either seen, remembered or imagined. A 'finished' work is an attempt to construct an event in itself." – John Berger
"There are dozens of unfinished or aborted projects in my files, but I can only assume they don't get done because they're not robust enough to struggle through the birth process." – Grant Morrison
"A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the 'why' for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any 'how.'" – Viktor E. Frankl
"Moms and dads don't last forever. If you've got unfinished business, we need to face that, and that's not easy. Every child wants to love their mother and their father. Love is the most important thing, and when they feel rejected and unloved, that hole can never be filled by anyone else." – Goldie Hawn

"Finish the work, otherwise an unfinished work will finish you." ― Amit Kalantri

"I know the sag of the unfinished poem. And I know the release of the poem that is finished." – Mary Oliver
"Whether you are a writer or an actor or a stage manager, you are trying to express the complications of life through a shared enterprise. That's what theatre was, always. And live performance shares that with an audience in a specific compact: the play is unfinished unless it has an audience, and they are as important as everyone else." – Lee Hall
"I never want projects to be finished; I have always believed in unfinished work. I got that from Schubert, you know, the 'Unfinished Symphony.'" – Yoko Ono

That is it. The hope is to pass on the baton to somebody who will run faster and run a better marathon." – N. R. Narayana Murthy

Acts 6:11-14 New International Version (NIV)
11 Then they secretly persuaded some men to say, "We have heard Stephen speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God."
12 So they stirred up the people and the elders and the teachers of the law. They seized Stephen and brought him before the Sanhedrin. 13 They produced false witnesses, who testified, "This fellow never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law. 14 For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs Moses handed down to us."

Decline of Wikipedia
* Article: The Decline of Wikipedia. By Tom Simonite. MIT Technology Review, October 22, 2013
URL = http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/520446/the-decline-of-wikipedia/
"Yet Wikipedia and its stated ambition to "compile the sum of all human knowledge" are in trouble. The volunteer workforce that built the project's flagship, the English-language Wikipedia-and must defend it against vandalism, hoaxes, and manipulation-has shrunk by more than a third since 2007 and is still shrinking. Those participants left seem incapable of fixing the flaws that keep Wikipedia from becoming a high-quality encyclopedia by any standard, including the project's own. Among the significant problems that aren't getting resolved is the site's skewed coverage: its entries on Pokemon and female porn stars are comprehensive, but its pages on female novelists or places in sub-Saharan Africa are sketchy. Authoritative entries remain elusive. Of the 1,000 articles that the project's own volunteers have tagged as forming the core of a good encyclopedia, most don't earn even Wikipedia's own middle-ranking quality scores. The main source of those problems is not mysterious. The loose collective running the site today, estimated to be 90 percent male, operates a crushing bureaucracy with an often abrasive atmosphere that deters newcomers who might increase participation in Wikipedia and broaden its coverage."

The Wise Guys thought it was a brilliant plan to race down the hill in our backyard. Not on foot. That is too simple, too "normal". They were racing in ride on cars and tractors. As fast as they could possibly go, lifting their feet off the ground and letting the speed and slope take them where it may. Crashing into each other makes it all the more fun! And then we had a re-creation of Jackass ...C hit a dip at the bottom of the hill and was thrown forward and his car, with him inside, flipped completely forward and over onto the roof. I watched from the top of the hill without breathing. A moment of hesitation, and then he started screaming. Running down the hill I had the thought that I should not move him (Mama Drama) not knowing if he had injured his neck in any way. But my little scrapper wiggled himself out and upright with nothing more that a bump and bruise right between the eyes. Just a regular morning around here.

Important Girl Scout role for Duggan
By Elsa Maxey
Peggy Duggan, a first lady of Sugar Land married to former Mayor Lee Duggan, has fond memories of growing up in Angleton, where she joined the Girl Scouts and did what many consider one of the most patriotic duties of this service group. Duggan was an observer, an enemy aircraft spotter for the United States Air Force during World War II.
She was 12 years at the time, and probably did not realize the significance of her role on the war effort. Her father, E.L. "Jack" Boston, was Brazoria County's war bond chairman, and probably inspirational about duty to country. Duggan was trained by officers stationed at Ellington Air Force Base for about a month and took a test to earn her wings for shift duty on a tower "one block from home."
This Memorial Day, remember those who served in the military and others who also served in the name of duty for their country, like Peggy Duggan. A keynote speaker of a 50th Girl Scout anniversary, she wore her wings.

Raspberry Breakfast Shake
This is my new breakfast – has been since beginning of 2014. Inspired by Janet Jack's new book, Discover the Power of Food. I've made my own modifications:
- 1 Tbs chia seeds
- 1 Tbs hemp hearts
- 1 Tbs large flake oats
- ½ cup almond milk, unsweetened
Start by soaking the seeds and oats the night before. It makes it really creamy, and is easier to digest.
- 2-3 tsp psyllium husk
- 1 Tbs Mineral Matrix
- ¼-½ tsp Matcha (powdered green tea)
- ¼-½ tsp pro-biotic (powdered form)
- 1 scoop protein powder (20-30g)
- 1 Tbs cold-pressed oil (UDOs oil or flavoured fish oil)
- ½ cup frozen raspberries (higher protein & fiber, lower sugar)
- ½ cup water
Puree in a blender or emulsifier. Add 1 drop Vitamin D, or as prescribed.
I take my shake to work in a container, followed by two rounds of 500mL of water to ensure I've gotten all the goodness. It looks a bit like pond water but tastes fine. It comes in at just under 500 calories [full nutritional details available] and should keep you full all morning. I combine this with my favourite lunch of chicken and veg, and a snack of mixed nuts:
- 2 brazil nuts (for the Selenium)
- 1 pinch of raw cocoa nibs
- raw almonds
- raw cashews
- Total 1/3 cup combined in that order

Uptown Planners election this Tuesday
The density and height limit debates have been going on in Uptown for eight years now, and they've come to a head with the long-delayed update to the 1988 Uptown Community Plan. The Plan will determine zoning for decades to come throughout Hillcrest, Bankers Hill, Mission Hills and University Heights. The current Plan proposed by the city reduces densities throughout much of Uptown versus the 1988 Plan. The main exception is the commercial core of Hillcrest, where densities would remain the same:
Uptown Planners narrowly rejected this proposal at a recent special meeting, and instead re-affirmed their own proposal, which would greatly reduce densities and building heights in west Hillcrest. For more background, please see this Uptown News summary of the meeting. As part of their excellent coverage of this issue, they also published a piece written by a representative of west Hillcrest's commercial property owners, who have been advised to sell their properties if Uptown Planners' recommended downzoning (109 dwelling units/acre to 44) and height reductions (150-200 feet to 50/65) for their properties are approved. (Imagine investing millions in a commercial property to then have its value halved by the local planning committee.) As a result, these properties would likely remain parking lots and one-story retail instead of vibrant mixed-use developments and a potential boutique hotel.
The city's Climate Action Plan legally requires the city to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing walking, biking and public transit use in urban neighborhoods like Uptown. Its proposal for west Hillcrest simply continues the zoning needed for transit-oriented development in the area. Mixed-use commercial and residential developments won't pencil out at current land values unless we continue existing heights and densities in the area.
Many middle class San Diegans can't afford to live in an increasingly expensive Uptown due to the lack of new housing in the neighborhood. To keep Uptown diverse and vibrant, I believe we need to accommodate residents of all ages and incomes. One way to do this is to support this slate of candidates up for the seven open board seats at next Tuesday's Uptown Planners meeting:
These candidates support preserving Uptown's historic residential areas while working with the city to meet its Climate Action Plan goals on transit corridors.
As the flyer points out, Uptown's issues aren't limited to just density. They include walkability, infrastructure for people on foot and bikes, and various quality of life issues. Both Joshua Clark and Maya Rosas have been endorsed by BikeSD for their support of safer streets. I know both of them personally, having met Maya through her complete streets advocacy work for Circulate SD, and Joshua for his bike lane planning work on the Pershing Bikeway in North Park. Another candidate on the above slate, Judy Tentor, volunteers her time for the San Diego Bike Coalition.
Given the importance of Uptown's Community Plan, please consider voting on Tuesday at 6PM at the Joyce Beers Center at The Hub in Hillcrest. Thanks for taking the time to think about what Uptown's future holds for current homeowners *and* renters/future residents who face affordability challenges. Next I'll go into my usual long-winded detail on the issues involved, so feel free to bail out now.
I appreciate that every Uptown Planners board member and candidate is willing to volunteer their time for a four year term. Obviously they care about their neighborhoods to be this engaged – if only more San Diegans were! But as someone who's long been interested in urban planning, complete streets and progressive issues such as affordable housing, I just disagree with what some of the candidates' priorities.
The flyer for the anti-density slate of candidates states that "parking and traffic" are their top priorities. But most of these candidates already own homes in Uptown, so they're not affected by the region's housing unaffordability crisis. In fact, they've enjoyed large home appreciation gains in part by making it harder to build new housing.
Uptown Planning Chair Jim Mellos probably summed up this viewpoint best when he said that as a third-generation Mission Hills resident, I disagree with people who moved here recently" who want more housing in Uptown.
To me, this implies only established residents get to decide who lives in Uptown, because their traffic concerns trump housing for others. Mellos also said we need to "keep density low until staff finds a solution to the traffic situation" – while offering no solution. Uptown homeowners deserve to have a strong voice, but certainly not the final say over neighborhood zoning when it conflicts with the city's Climate Action Plan and state affordable housing laws. In fact, the CAP precludes community group downzoning in Transit Priority zones like Hillcrest.
Other anti-density candidates say they support "smart growth with infrastructure", yet don't specify what that infrastructure is. This really means widening roads and building more parking garages. Yet these measures only worsen congestion through induced demand and more parking capacity, while making streets more unsafe for pedestrians and bicyclists. While these approaches might be justified in a suburban world with no air pollution or climate change challenges, these are terrible planning ideas for real-world, urban Uptown. And with younger Americans driving less, using ride share, and alternative transit modes, why would we apply 1960's-era planning to Uptown for decades to come?
I'm also concerned about community character and don't think we should increase density on residential streets, except allowing granny flats and bungalow court-style housing. But our commercial streets can surely allow more density – look at east University Ave. in Hillcrest, a largely car-oriented set of one-story strip malls.
For brevity's sake I'm skipping the "new housing will always be too expensive" argument the anti-density folks have been using, and just linking to this article that explains why that's simply not true. Here's the related roundtable discussion that explores the affordability problem in more detail, including a number of approaches to it. Preventing all new housing is not one of the solutions.
Increased density also corresponds to higher bike mode shares, and one of the most important issues for me has been the lack of safe pedestrian and bike infrastructure in Uptown. Unfortunately Uptown Planners has a mixed record on safe streets. They rejected the SANDAG Uptown Bike Corridor, then after it was removed from University Avenue, supported the concept of a bike corridor there someday. While serving as Uptown Planners board chair, Leo Wilson (who's running again for the board on the anti-density slate) filed a CEQA lawsuit against the city to remove the buffered bike lane from 5th Avenue . The current chair of Uptown Planners, Jim Mellos, is the attorney on the lawsuit. State law now directs that road diets can no longer be rejected under CEQA, yet the lawsuit lives on. Wilson also opposed any road diets on 4th/5th/6th avenues. Another candidate for Uptown Planners, Tim Gahagan, recently voted for the Uptown Parking District to reject multi-modal projects like the Uptown Bikeway if they cause any loss of parking. This directly contradicts the city's legal obligations to increase bike mode share under its Climate Action Plan.
When the North Park Planning Committee voted recently to increase density along its rapid bus line, Uptown density opponents noted that west Hillcrest didn't have a rapid bus line and therefore shouldn't accept any more density. One suggestion was to move the density proposed for west Hillcrest to Park Boulevard, even as they downzoned the parcel at El Cajon and Park Boulevard:
In reality, there are actually multiple bus lines that travel through Hillcrest, many of which will be upgraded to semi-rapid status over the next several years. A streetcar is also planned for 6th Avenue. But when Uptown Planners rejected SANDAG's multi-million dollar investment in the Uptown Bikeway because it removed some street parking, wouldn't any decision maker question the wisdom of investing future transit funds there? The slate of candidates shown above will work with SANDAG and the city to ensure Uptown residents have a variety of safe, convenient transit options to choose from.
Finally, an argument I often hear is, "San Diego has always been an expensive place to live", and therefore we should just accept the current unaffordability crisis. While that may be true at the coast, much of Uptown was actually much more affordable 20-30 years ago when the anti-density slate of candidates bought their homes. It's possible they can't comprehend the challenges faced by renters and first-time buyers, many of whom face much higher transportation and education costs than previous generations.
Let's move beyond the priorities of traffic, parking and home value appreciation, to the more important challenges of climate change and housing affordability. We can do this by supporting Uptown Planners candidates who will work to implement San Diego's Climate Action Plan and transit-oriented development in our neighborhoods.

Tips for "Waking up" your Students
Engineering is traditionally and most often taught via lectures, tutorials and laboratories with long contact hours. Although in the recent times, more innovative pedagogies are being employed such as field experiential learning, project and problem based learning, however, lectures, tutorials and laboratories are inevitable in the delivery of any engineering degree programme. With the long contact hours and most of the subjects are hard-science and mathematical based, engineering students often find it hard to concentrate at all times. Thus, understanding engineering students and their preferred adapted learning styles are important.
Every student has their own learning style. According to Felder and Silverman (1988), who have identified that most engineering students are in general - active, sensing, visual and sequential learners using the Index of Learning Styles (ILS) online survey. The model consists of four dimensions - active versus reflective, sensing versus intuitive, visual versus verbal and sequential versus global. For engineering students, they learn by actively trying things out with the help of working with one another; they draw on physical sensation, facts and practice and prefer repetition work; they prefer understanding visually than by words; and they learn by understanding step by step in a sequential manner. The table below shows a summary of the different learning styles.
|Complementary learning styles
- 'Let's try it out'
- Process information by physical activity
- Learn by working with others
- 'Let's think it through'
- Process information introspectively
- Learn by working alone or in pairs
- Draws on physical sensation
- Practical and observing
- Prefer the concrete: facts and data
- Prefer repetition
- Draws on insight
- Imaginative and interpretive
- Prefer the abstract: theory and modelling
- Prefer variation
- 'Show me how'
- Prefer pictures and diagrams
- 'Tell me how'
- Prefer written and spoken explanations
- Understand in continual and incremental steps
- Linear reasoning process
- Convergent thinking and analysis
- Understand in large leaps
- Tacit reasoning process
- System thinking and synthesis
Learning Activities in Relation to Learning Styles
Based on Felder and colleagues' research, the following section introduces the use of learning activities that target the engineering students' learning styles.
Classroom in all disciplines, including engineering can be comprised of both active and reflective learners, and brainstorming is an activity which can be used to engage both types of learners. In organizing brainstorming activities, the teacher will present a question or issue of interest, where students contribute their thoughts. Individually, students may first reflect on what they have learnt and the teacher will randomly select a student to present his/her thoughts; alternatively, teachers may also organize students into groups to brainstorm on the question or issue and selected groups will be asked to present their thoughts.
Since engineering students tend to be active learners (Felder & Silverman, 1988), using clickers and forming "buzz groups" can encourage students' participation and keep them awake in large classes. Buzz groups are formed by 5 to 8 people, where they discuss about a concept of interest and where each member in the group contributes at least one idea in the discussion. Selected groups are then asked to come out to present their findings to the class. During the presentation, the teacher will make notes of their findings on the board and students are actively encouraged to raise their hands to ask questions.
Although engineering students are in general active learners, sometimes they are also reflective learners. To engage engineering students with reflective learning style, teachers may introduce activities such as in-class writing, think-pair share, concept tests and reading quizzes during intervals of long lectures. In-class writing exercises, such as one-minute paper or one-sentence summary, offer engineering students opportunities to think and formulate questions about the material presented (to reflect on their learning) (Felder, 1993). While students usually work on writing exercises on their own, think-pair share requires students to work in pairs to discuss their answers after thinking individually about a question or problem posed by the teacher. This exercise can be best administered in tutorials where there are smaller groups of students. Concept tests also require students to discuss with the person next to them until a common answer has been reached, but unlike think-pair share, concept tests come in the form of multiple choice questions and are administered at intervals of approximately 15 minutes in class. On the other hand, reading quizzes serve the purpose of identifying students who have read the material and whether they are able to get the gist of the reading. Teachers will ask students questions regarding the reading, which encourages students to reflect on what they have read.
As engineering students tend to be visual learners who prefer visual presentation (diagrams or pictures) of materials (Dwyer, 2010), activities like constructing visual lists and drawing concept sketches can help them learn more effectively. Drawing concept sketches encourage engineering students to describe engineering process and concepts through the drawn sketch or diagram. Much like concept sketches, students constructing a visual list are invited to construct the list that asks them to compare views or to list the pros and cons of an issue on a piece of paper or on the blackboard in groups. The teacher will then ask students to analyze their constructed list with respect to some questions related to the list. Selected groups are then encouraged to present their findings.
In addition to being active and visual, engineering students also tend to be sequential learners who are more comfortable with learning in continual and incremental step. In another words, they learn best when given clear, step-by-step instruction. Thus, in a long hour laboratory class, teachers may consider presenting experiment procedures step-by-step, where students are asked to make a prediction of the end result. Such method facilitates engineering students "linear reasoning processes" (Felder & Silverman, 1988) when solving problems.
For further details regarding the activities, please refer to the table below.
|Examples of active learning activities
|In-class writing exercises
|Students can be asked to write a short paragraph to:
|Think-Pair Share
|Student response systems (i.e. Clickers)
|Concept Sketches
|Concept Tests
|Reading Quizzes
|Visual Lists

Tips for "Waking Up" Your Students
- Be expressive: the use of vocal variation, facial expression, movement and gesture enhances communication and facilitates student comprehension. .Be active: move around the classroom and invite participation.
- Don't overload students, space out activities
- Include an activity after every 15-20 minutes of presentation, which require students to use the information/concepts presented
- Consider spacing demonstrations, student participation activities, and multimedia (e.g. music, video clips or computer simulations) throughout your lecture, to wake up students' attention.

Hunting Means and Methods
- Contents
Valid Sep. 1, 2018 through Aug. 31, 2019.
Lawful Means and Methods
It is LEGAL to:
- hunt animals and non-migratory game birds from a motor vehicle, powerboat, sailboat, or from any other floating device within the boundaries of private property or upon private water.
- use calling devices (including manual and mouth- operated), recordings, and electrically amplified calls to hunt game animals and game birds. Electronic calls may not be used to hunt migratory game birds except during the Light Goose Conservation Order season.
- use decoys to hunt game animals and game birds. NO per- son may use live decoys when hunting migratory game birds.
- bait for game animals, nongame animals, and upland game birds, except for Eastern turkey and migratory game birds. (Baiting is unlawful on most public property. Please check specific regulations for that public property.)
- trap nongame/exotic animals (such as feral hogs, rabbits, etc.) on private property.
- use dogs to aid in the hunting of any game bird.
Game animals and non-migratory game birds may be hunted with any legal firearm, EXCEPT:
- Rimfire Ammunition (of any caliber) may NOT be used to hunt white-tailed deer, mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, or pronghorn.
- Fully Automatic Firearms
- Shotguns are the only legal firearm that may be used during spring Eastern turkey season.
- Magazine Capacity (number of shells/cartridges allowed): there are no restrictions on the number of shells or cartridges a legal firearm may hold when hunting game animals or game birds (except migratory game birds).
- Muzzleloader: any firearm that is loaded only through the muzzle (as opposed to breech-loading firearms). A cap and ball firearm in which the powder and ball are loaded into a cylinder is not a muzzleloader. Muzzleloader deer seasons are restricted to muzzleloading firearms only.
- Suppressors (aka "silencers"): may be used to take any wildlife resource; however, all federal, state and local laws continue to apply.
- Possession of Firearms by Felons: A convicted felon, regardless of where the conviction occurred, may not possess or use a firearm (as defined by Texas Penal Code, §46.01) to hunt in this state. Under Penal Code, §46.01, possession of and hunting with a muzzleloading firearm is lawful if it is an antique or curio firearm manufactured before 1899 or is a replica of an antique or curio firearm manufactured before 1899 that does not use rimfire or centerfire ammunition.
Air Guns and Arrow Guns
- Arrow gun: a device that fires an arrow or bolt solely by the use of unignited compressed gas as the propellant.
- Air gun: a device that fires a bullet solely by the use of unignited compressed gas as the propellant.
- Pre-charged pneumatic: an air gun or arrow gun for which the propellant is supplied or introduced by means of a source that is physically separate from the air gun or arrow gun.
Alligator, game animals, furbearers, squirrels, and non-migratory game birds (except Eastern Turkey) may be hunted with air guns and arrow guns provided:
- Alligators, big horn sheep, javelina, mule deer, white-tailed deer, pronghorn, and turkey may be taken only with pre-charged pneumatic arrow guns, or pre-charged pneumatic air guns.
- Pre-charged pneumatic air guns must fire a projectile of at least 30 caliber in diameter and at least 150 grains in weight with a minimum muzzle velocity of 800 feet per second or any combination of bullet weight and muzzle velocity that produces muzzle energy of at least 215 foot pounds of energy.
- Squirrels, pheasant, quail, and chachalaca may be hunted with air guns that fire a projectile of at least .177 caliber (4.5mm) in diameter producing a muzzle velocity of at least 600 feet per second.
- Arrows or bolts used with an arrow gun must conform to the same standards for projectiles for archery.
- Arrow guns may not be used to hunt deer or turkey during archery season.
Guidance for Hunters to Reduce Wounding Loss
Air guns and arrow guns function much differently than centerfire rifles or shotguns most hunters have traditionally used to hunt game birds and animals. Therefore, a hunter's understanding of the limitations of air guns and arrow guns is critical to minimize or avoid wounding loss when hunting and taking game. Before purchasing an air gun or arrow gun, a hunter should check the specifications to ensure they meet minimum caliber and muzzle velocity or muzzle energy requirements as listed in the Outdoor Annual.
As with any legal method of take, knowing the limitations of your specific equipment is critical to reduce or avoid wounding loss. Hunters should understand that although a number of air guns and arrow guns may meet minimum standards to make them legal for hunting, different brands and models have different levels of ballistic performance and effectiveness. Other factors such as proficiency of the hunter using an air gun or arrow gun, distance to target, and type and weight of bullet or arrow used, all factor in to the ability of that air gun or arrow gun to perform well in the field and deliver a lethal shot. Additionally, the amount of air charged in the reservoir on the air gun is diminished after each successive shot which changes ballistics and ultimately the effectiveness of the air gun in taking game. Hunters should be cognizant of the number of shots an air gun or arrow gun can produce on a fully charged tank before becoming ineffective at taking game.
Although big game animals have been harvested with air guns at distances greater than 150 yards, the effective range is recommended to be 75 yards or closer. Beyond 75 yards, the ability of some models of air guns or arrow guns to be lethal becomes diminished, so it is critical for hunters to know the limitation of the model of air gun being used and practice with the equipment just like with any sporting arm.
Shot placement into vital organs (heart, lungs) is also critical in order to minimize wounding loss since cause of death from air guns and arrow guns would be more similar to archery or historic muzzleloader equipment rather than that of a centerfire rifle. Similar to archery hunting, hunters taking animals with an air gun or arrow gun are encouraged to wait an hour before going to retrieve the deer or other game animals, allowing sufficient time for the animal to expire. Above all, hunters should strive to take ethical shots which will greatly reduce chances of wounding loss.
Archery and Crossbows
- Only the archery and crossbow equipment prescribed in this section may be used for taking game animals or game birds.
- Archery and crossbow equipment may not be used to hunt deer during the Muzzleloader-Only Deer Season.
- Archery and crossbows are lawful for non-protected non- game animals.
Longbows, compound bows, or recurved bows:
- There is no minimum draw requirement.
- Lighted pins, sight magnification, overdraw rests, and devices that allow a bow to be locked at full or partial draw are lawful during any season when lawful archery equipment may be used.
Current crossbow requirements will be posted here when they become available.
- Crossbows are lawful for any person during the Archery- Only Open Season except in Collin, Dallas, Grayson, and Rockwall counties, where no person may use a crossbow to hunt deer during the Archery-Only Open Season (Sep 29 - Nov 2) unless the person has an upper-limb disability and has in immediate possession a physician's statement that certifies the extent of the disability. An upper-limb disability is a permanent loss of the use of fingers, hand, or arm in a manner that renders the person incapable of using a longbow, compound bow, or recurved bow.
- An Archery Endorsement is required to hunt deer during the Archery-Only Open Season. An archery endorsement is required to hunt deer, turkey and/or javelina at any time in Collin, Dallas, Grayson, and Rockwall counties, including during the general open season (Nov 3 - Jan 6).
- Any person, regardless of physical ability, may use a crossbow to hunt game animals or game birds in any county, including Collin, Dallas, Grayson, and Rockwall counties, during a general open season or Eastern spring turkey season.
Projectiles (Arrows and Crossbow Bolts)
While hunting game animals and game birds, a projectile may not be poisoned, drugged, or explosive.
- When used to hunt turkey and all game animals other than squirrels, a projectile must be equipped with a broadhead hunting point. An archer may have arrows/bolts with field, target, or judo points in the quiver with the broadhead hunting points.
- There are no restrictions or minimum requirements on arrow or bolt lengths, arrow material, arrow weight, lighted nocks, broadhead lengths or diameter, number of cutting edges, broadhead material, or mechanical broadheads.

Q: I had heard that Google had recently changed their algorithms. Does this mean that what we are learning is up to date with the changes?
Answer. Yes, as the Chinese say we have the unfortunate luck of living in an interesting time. Google has recently made to simultaneous big changes to its algorithm. The first was called Panda Update and really struck at keyword density and webpage content. Google really lashed out at low quality websites that have lots of low quality content, and if you were clobbered by the Google Panda Update you saw your website decline and you may have seen warnings in Google webmaster tools that your content was thin or repetitious.
There is also what is called a manual penalty in Google, in Google added this new twist in that it has really emphasized webmasters and SEO experts ratting out other webmasters and SEO experts through web forms on Google that allow you to complain about a so-called spam website. Now what do you think has resulted? Competitors are using these forms to rat out competitors, and Google is as happy as can be to have the webmaster community do the dirty work of identifying spam he websites. Google has given birth to a whole new tactic: Negative SEO.
It's as if Google learned a little bet about how Stalin controlled Soviet Russia or today's North Korean rulers control North Korea. Create a climate of fear and encourage everyone to rat out everyone else. Panda is all about low-quality content and using the community to identify spammy websites.
The second big update is called Penguin. Penguin strikes at inbound links, and is especially oriented towards low quality inbound links. Here there does not seem to be so much of a reliance on the community ratting out other community members, and it is more a true algorithm update. Penguin looks to low quality inbound links and especially the overuse of keywords in links as clues that you have manipulated your results.
The fun thing about search engine optimization is that it is always changing, and Google have as the King has his algorithms, is court jesters, and his secret police. We will discuss panda in Penguin in this class, but for most small business websites fortunately neither of these changes is nearly as big as it is or people who are in the search engine optimization community. Fortunately!

1. Solar Surge iPhone Charging Cases
Touted as the world's first Apple-certified solar iPhone cases, the Solar Surge line mixes performance and portability and puts the combo into a mighty good-lookin' package. Just slip the case on and flip it so that the photovoltaic panel side is facing up to charge up your phone. It'll extend 3G talk time by a very helpful (unless you're on the phone with your mom) 4 hours.
2. Voltaic Switch Solar Powered Minibag
We've been fans of Voltaic's solar backpacks for some time now, but sometimes you just don't feel like lugging around a bulky bookbag. Well we guess the folks at Voltaic felt the same way because they also carry this handy dandy Switch Minibag. Perfect for days when you're running errands around town or for sightseeing excursions, the Switch is superlight and has 4 watts of solar power, meaning that 1 hour in sun = 3 hours extended talk time. Plus it's made of recycled PET bottles to boot!
3. Suntrica Wearable Solar Chargers
Wearable chargers are great because they boast all of the performance of other chargers with nothing to carry. The Suntrica line of wearable solar chargers, the SolarBadge and the SolarStrap, are pocket-sized, durable, and lightweight. They're lined with thin film solar panels and have a storage capacity of 3.7Wh and can also be charged using a standard outlet or USB. To use, just strap or hook them onto your bag or clothing, and get out into the sunlight.
4. Eton Mobius iPhone Charging Case
The Eton Mobius charging case has two standout qualities - it can increase your iPhone's talk time by a factor of 2, and with its slim profile, it hardly even looks like there's anything on your phone. The Mobius is equipped with a monocrystal solar panel that gathers the sun's energy and also doubles as a protective case for your phone.
5. Sun-Powered Solio Classic Charger
The Solio is an oldie but goodie - and for good reason. It's light - weighing only 158g - and compatible with over 3,200 devices. We like the fact that it can be folded up into a little pod to be slipped into a pocket or a bag, and as soon as you want to charge your phone, all you have to do is spread out the three leaf-like panels and get them soaking up sun. Also impressive? The Solio holds a charge for up to one year, so it's ready anytime, day or night.

We played the flute for you but you did not dance;
we sang a dirge but you did not mourn.
Nelson Mandela RIP
You know
you can only lead them from behind.
Those who keep watch
are alert
to changes in mood
to changes of sounds
to change of ambiance.
They become keenly aware
of the need
to respond appropriately
to what they hear and see.
Those who kept Vigil
on ancient ramparts
were responsible
for the safety of those within.
