It was fun to watch my MIL, used to the proximity key in her Prius, struggle with why the door didn't unlock for her on an early 90s Honda, and also that the car wasn't going to do much without the key in the ignition.
"New Technology" doesn't stay new very long.
the_big_al Posts: 1,069Will we ever get to the days (or back to the days) when you could take a car - any car, truck, SUV, anything and get what ever "feature" you wanted with out getting stuff you didn't want... When you could walk in and say I want a Mustang and I want to order it with the 4.6 GT motor with a manual tranny, but I don't want or need stuff like power windows, door locks (adds wieght and more things to wear out and break), or radio (since I plan on adding my own aftermarket system). Give me vinyl flooring and cloth seats, A/C since I live in the desert and also a sunroof, but I don't want a useless spoiler on the back and pointless foglights...
Or how about my Colorado truck that I want in a Z71 body style 2WD (finally can get that), in a Crew Cab and with a manual transmission and the 3.5 liter. I would like the sunroof, but cloth seats (they are cooler). Power windows and locks are fine (with 4 doors not reachable from the drivers seat I would want this over the safty of knowing the manual can always be rolled down....
Or any number of vehicles that I would like to customize to my liking but they have to be paired with other options, or sometimes, you can have one option but not the other....

I didn't say they were ill-fitting recommendations, just that they're stale. I agree with everything you said. Budget is a massive constraint on recommendations, but the Anthem is in the same price bracket as most recommendations, so it was nice to see it get a little recognition. Hell, you can look at my posts and see the recommendations don't change - its the same old same old because the same questions get asked. I also don't disagree with what gets recommended 99% of the time. At the same time, I love when the "hifi" guys go on a quest and ask for help. I learn quite a bit during those simply through people throwing out brands that I had never heard of. Due to the rarity though, I've gone elsewhere to get that experience.
I was merely commenting on the refreshing aspect of this thread. There is nothing to read between the lines this time.

"This is a very stable device. Ours have been running for more than 10 years. The handling of the cell is sometimes a bit complicated, but it can be taken care of with the experience acquired. The good thing is that we do not have an automatic titration unit. So each sample is still prepared independently and this restricts the black-box situation a bit. It is black-box when it comes to data treatment. We hope that our machine continues to work. But we would like to have another, smaller device as well. "
A whole new concept… Unique to Brookhaven!
For the difficult cases: For measurements of very low mobilities, the Brookhaven ZetaPALS is the answer, The only answer! With concepts developed at Bristol University and Brookhaven Instruments, the ZetaPALS determines zeta potential using Phase Analysis Light Scattering: A technique that is up to 1,000 times more sensitive than traditional light scattering methods based on the shifted frequency spectrum. Electrostatic repulsion of colloidal particles is often the key to understanding the stability of any dispersion. A simple, easy measurement of the electrophoretic mobility --even in nonpolar liquids-- yields valuable information. Measurements made in water and other polar liquids are easy and fast with the Brookhaven ZetaPlus. Such measurements cover the range of typically ± 6 - 100 mV, corresponding to mobilities of ± 0.5-8x10-8 m2/V·s. The ZetaPALS covers this full range, of course, and extends it by a factor of 1000 in sensitivity!

Today, on March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot coming out of a hotel. Thanks to the quick thinking of a Secret Service agent, President Reagan was rushed to George Washington Hospital and underwent surgery to remove a bullet that was just lodged just an inch away from his heart. As part of the Miller Center's Presidential Oral History program, members of the Reagan administration recounted what it was like to be part of that moment in history and how it changed (or did not change) Reagan and his presidency.
As James Miller, Office of Management and Budget Director, recounted:
"The notion that they knew all along that something was seriously wrong is not correct. They found out when they arrived at the hospital, but they didn't know in that immediate response. But the President was quite ill. It was a life-threatening thing."
On Monday, the Miller Center Forum program will host Del Quentin Wilbur, author of Rawhide Down: The Near Assassination of Ronald Reagan. The book follows the extraordinary minute-by-minute details of that day and reveals how close President Reagan came to dying.
"Rawhide" was President Reagan's Secret Service code name and is number 7 on Time magazine's Top 10 Secret Service Code Names. Last week, GQ magazine revealed the secret service code names chosen by Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. The names chosen by the two Republican candidates are "Javelin" for Romney, possibly after a 1960s car made by American Motors Corporation (a company once run by his father), and "Petrus" for Santorum, which might refer to St. Peter, the first pope (Santorum is Catholic). President Obama's code name is "Renegade."
"The use of code words to refer to candidates are a throwback to the era when Secret Service and White House Communications Agency communications were not encrypted. The tradition has stuck around. The only real rule the Service has is that the word chosen be comprehensible over the radio and not be similar to someone's else's. That's why code names tend to have two or three strong syllables."

Jeffersonville Police say the person they believe is responsible for fatally shooting a man at an apartment complex on Tuesday admitted to detectives he is responsible for the crime.
Antonio D. Walker, 28, of Louisville, appeared in a Clark County court Wednesday. He has been accused by police of fatally firing five shots at 25-year-old Paris T. Hamilton during an argument.
Walker will be formally charged with murder today, Clark County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Jeremy Mull said.
Walker was ordered Wednesday to return to Judge Vicki Carmichael's Clark County Circuit Court No. 4 for an initial hearing at 1:30 p.m. today.
He is currently being held in the Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex on no bond.
Police believe Walker is the sole gunman who shot Hamilton five times inside a residence at the French Quarter Apartments off Middle Road, Jeffersonville Police Detective Todd Hollis said.
Police received a call of shots fired at the residence, located in the 1700 block of Village Green Boulevard, around 11:20 a.m. Hollis said the shooting occurred in the home of a woman who is an acquaintance of both Hamilton and Walker, but that neither Hamilton or Walker is believed to keep a residence at the apartment complex. Hollis said Walker advised detectives on Tuesday that he lives in Louisville.
According to a probable cause affidavit, when police arrived at the scene of Tuesday's shooting, "Officers observed that Hamilton had suffered several gunshot wounds to the chest/stomach area."
He was pronounced dead at the scene by Clark County Coroner Edwin "Huck" Coots.
The probable cause affidavit also states two men were seen running from the area of the shooting through a field behind Indiana American Water Company.
Walker was located walking nearby along Cardinal Lane by a JPD patrol officer about 10 minutes after the shooting, Hollis said.
The man was identified as a suspect in the shooting by the patrol officer as he matched the description of one of the men reported being seen fleeing the French Quarter Apartments moments earlier.
"This subject (Walker) was on a cellular telephone and appeared to be nervous and sweating," according to the affidavit.
The man was detained and later identified as Walker.
He was taken to Jeffersonville police headquarters for questioning.
During the interrogation, "Walker admitted to being present at the crime scene and admitted to engaging in an altercation with Hamilton at the apartment," according to the affidavit. "Walker admitted to having a revolver handgun on his person and firing five shots at Hamilton."
Hollis said investigators are continuing to question witnesses and charges could be issued against other people associated with the crime, adding that Walker is believed to be the only gunman.
"We are confident he (Walker) was the shooter," Hollis said.

YORK — The York school board has approved the largest allowable property-tax increase for school operations – the last piece in a 2013-14 budget saga that started earlier this year with $1.9 million in spending cuts.
"There is no choice anymore," school board Chairwoman Shirley Harris said after the board's unanimous vote to approve a 5-mill increase in the property tax rate for school operations, the largest allowed this year under state law.
The board, which had no discussion during the vote, did not change the tax rate for debt repayment.
"We have got to have revenue from somewhere, and we're not getting it from the state," Harris said of the operations tax increase.
The tax rate for school operations falls on businesses and the owners of second homes. The amount of the tax increase for business owners varies, depending on the type of business and its tax assessment.
Under South Carolina's 2007 property tax reform measure, homeowners do not pay any property taxes toward school operations, although they do pay property taxes for debt repayment.
In June, the board approved a $37 million budget for the current school year, which included the budget cuts. The approved budget was based on the operating tax increase, but the board delayed a vote on the tax increase until its August meeting.
Superintendent Vernon Prosser said after the vote that the budget cuts — which included cutting 22 positions and reducing the number of paid work days for some administrators and other staff — would have been more severe without the property-tax increase.
Prosser and budget director Amy Hagner said a 1-mill increase in taxes for school operations generates about $54,000 in revenue for the York district — so the 5-mill increase approved last week amounts to about $270,000 in revenue.
Parents protested the budget cuts at two school board meetings in May and June, but school board members argued that state revenue left them no choice.
School officials said the district used money from a reserve account to balance the budget for the past three years, with the hope that the economy would improve, state revenue would increase and the budget cuts could be avoided. That didn't happen, however, and Prosser said the school district could not continue to use its reserves
Harris alluded to the budget cuts during opening ceremonies for teachers and other staff on Aug. 14 at York Comprehensive High School, saying "last year was a tough year, and it got even harder toward the end."
"The board had to make tough decisions that I have never had to make in my 15 years on the board," Harris said. She said the decisions were carefully made.
"And this year, we are going to be doing an excellent, excellent job of giving our students the knowledge that they need in a safe environment with fewer people," Harris said.

MeghanMichiganHairMedium BrownNormal HairBetter Than A ChiAs a previous CHI lover, I was disappointed when my second $150 CHI broke in a years time. This time I told myself that I wasn't going to buy another CHI despite how much I loved the iron. I decided on the less expensive Solia (I'm a college student) and couldn't be happier! My hair is straigher and as smooth as it has ever been! I'm hoping that I have better luck with this flat iron as I use it every single day but if something does happen, I do think that I will go back to the Solia rather than the CHI.posted Oct 13, 2010Link to this post

Renee D.HairBlondeDry HairColor Treated HairThe Best Flat Iron Around!!This is a great product! I usually borrow my daughter's Chi, but decided to get a flat iron for myself. When I was on your site and saw the Solia 1 1/4" flat iron (in my favorite color - Red!!) AND it was less money than the Chi, I knew I had to try it, and I'm glad I did. My hair is chin length and this is just the right size. My hair comes out smooth and silky. Thank you Solia!!

SophiaQueens, NYHairDark BrownNormal HairRelaxed HairSo Great I Purchased A 2ndI honestly thought flat irons were created equal but after using this flat iron I realized I was soooo wrong. It made my hair so silky, soft, bouncy and beautiful I ordered a 2nd because of the sale price. Then I ordered the Sedu 4000i blow dryer used them together over the weekend added a little Sedu anti-frizz argan oil treatment just prior to blow drying and again before flat ironing and OMG I couldn't take my hands out of my own hair. My co-workers couldn't believe I did my hair myself and not at the salon.7 out of 7 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

AmberOntario, CanadaHairMedium BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairSo Happy With My Purchase!Before I bought this flat iron I didn a lot of research. I have only ever owned a chi, and im not big on change, especially when my chi did the trick. This iron makes my hair super straight and I have less friss then with my old one. All the reviews I read from other people helped me make up my mind, plus it came in my favourite colour purple. Well worth the money.

NadiaHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairKeeps Your Hair Straight All Day Long!This is honestly the best straightener EVER! I used to have a Conair 2 inch and it worked OK, but at times it would fry my hair. And what I absolutely hated the most about it was that when I straighten my hair and then leave for school, within an hour my hair would already start to get frizzy and the ends would flip up which I HATE SO MUCH! So the main thing I looked for in a new straightener was if it keeps your hair straight all day. I saw like a gazillion reviews before picking this straightener, and I honestly love it. It keeps my hair straight all day long and it makes it so much smoother and shinier. I just hope it'll last a long time!

CharlinnaHairDark BrownDry HairGood For Its PriceFrom what my sister told me about this product before we purchased it, she said it was the best ever, so I was expecting a lot. But it turned out a a bit of a disappointment. It didn't straighten our hair as well as I'd expected, but my sister really liked it. That's why I'm rating it 4 stars. (I would have given it a 3 on my own.) What I really like about it though is the fact that it heated up really quickly, no matter what temperature you set it too. So that was a major plus. We wasted no time. So if you're in a rush to go somewhere you don't have to wait long for it to get hot.
I also really like the heat proof pouch, though. We could put it away right after we use it too and don't have to wait for the straightener to cool down. Also, about the size, I like that it's small and easy to use because it doesn't hurt my hand, but I also don't like that it's TOO small. I have somewhat thick and long hair so it takes a bit longer for me to do my hair since I can only grab a few strands at a time to straighten.
Other than that, my sister would recommend this product to others. But I'm still kind of neutral about it.

AmyCincinnati, OHHairLight BrownColor Treated HairPerfect So Far!I recently got a new haircut with a lot more layers and shorter pieces and my 2 inch Tigi flat iron was just too wide. I chose this flat iron because of the positive reviews and reasonable price and I'm glad I did. I like that it's a little bit wider than a 1 inch flat iron but it's still easy to use on the shorter areas. It heats up quickly and leaves my hair shiny. I also like the look of the blue plates on black. No complaints!

March 19, 2012
Ashleigh Simons '12 gives us a look at a host of events taking place tomorrow on Pacific's Forest Grove campus and in the surrounding community.Ashleigh Simons (2012)
Make Tuesday your day to learn, talk about or get involved in something new at Pacific University. A wide array of events are planned thorughout the day March 20, both on the Forest Grove campus and in the surrounding community. Many of the events revolve around Women's History Month, but there are art events, economic discussion and a baseball game in there, too.
Starting at 11 a.m. in the University Center, celebrate Women's History Month by pledging to support women's equality across the globe in the event "Picturing Change: Ending Poverty Starts with Women." Stop by and have your photo taken with a sign and it'll be uploaded to Facebook, and (with consent) posted to the Oxfam America Act Fast Photobook.
Also in celebration of Women's History Month is a movie presented in Taylor Auditorium (in Marsh Hall) at 11:30 a.m. about a group of Peruvian women who entered into the male-dominated world of computers and technology in the 1970s. A discussion will follow the presentation.
In the evening is a showing of a Patsy Mink: Ahead of the Majority from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the Milky Way. The film is a documentary about Patsy Mink, who was the first woman of color to serve in congress. She is also a co-author of Title IX legislation. Check out a trailer of the documentary.
The Women's History events are concluded for the day at 6 p.m. in the PULSE with the Annual Hunger Banquet. Participants in the event will be split into different groups, each with their own socioeconomic class and will get a meal that is similar to one that a person living in a similar class would be able to afford. In honor of Women's History Month, the event will take a specific focus on women's issues globally.
Not all events happening on campus Tuesday are related to Women's History Month, however.
The "B Media Collective," presented at 7 p.m. in Taylor Auditorium, will feature a series of documentary shorts that revolve around impacting social justice through the use of creativity.
Off campus, the City of Forest Grove hosts "Living and Working in the New Economy: The Promise and the Peril," beginning at 7 p.m. in the Forest Grove Auditorium, 1915 Main St. The event will feature a panel consisting of Pacific history professor Lawrence Lipin; Jerralynn Ness, executive director of Community Action Organization in Hillsboro, and Manuel Castaneda, CEO of Pro Landscape, who will hold a discussion about the economy, both the way it used to be and the current state. The discussion will be followed by a question and answer period for the audience. The event is sponsored, in part, by Pacific's Tom McCall Center for Policy Innovation.
Finally, for sports fans, the Pacific University baseball team takes on Concordia at 6 p.m. in Forest Grove. Check out the game at Chuck Bafaro Stadium at Bond Field. For information about all upcoming sports events, remember to check www.goboxers.com.

|Route Climbed: Nellie Creek Standard Date Climbed: 28 August 2005
|2:30 up. Nice views on excellent trail with nothing more than class 2. The actual trail ascends the second scree gully that you come to. The views down the face from the summit are worth the walk.

|A great half-day hike. I wish we could have left the camp by 3 am to be at the summit by sunrise. That adventure I'll save for the next time I summit Uncompahgre. I know I'll be back at this one. The views are great. I love the San Juan's.

Then left camp about 7:30 a.m. and hiked w/ a couple of people from Arizona and New Mexico for a bit, although our paces were different. I summitted at 10:30, but left before 11:00 due to a dark cloud moving in. We were back at the TH by 1:00, making 3 hours up and 2 hours down...pretty good time I thought...Drove back to Evergreen and was home in time for dinner! Nice weekend jaunt

|This was my first time taking a 4x4 trail up with a jeep. Wow, not an experience I'd like to repeat again. The climb was nice. We started late and summited at sunset which offered some great views. Descent to the trailhead gave us an awesome amphitheatre of stars that I wish my camera could capture.

|Route Climbed: Nellie Creek Date Climbed: August 13, 2004
|Started at the bottom of the road since our vehicle could not make it up the rough road. This made it a long hike, 15 miles, 5000 feet elevation gain. Weather was perfect with no threatening storms. Left at 6:45 AM, returned by 3 PM. Hike up the road had a couple of slightly difficult water crossings. We took our shoes off for one of them and used a good log for the other one. Trail is good except for one difficult patch around 13800 feet. If you look carefully for the cairned route, it is not too bad, though it is rocky and steep there. On the summit met a friendly chipmunk who tried to hop into my backpack. Nice day, great hike!

|Wow! What an experience. The 4WD road to the trailhead is harrowing to say the least. Road was blocked by vehicle with blown tire. We sneaked by. Larger SUV's had to wait an hour; so we were told by several other hikers. The trail is spectacular. Very pretty scenery. Had a difficult time from the south ridge to13,500. Even more difficult hiking up the wall to get to 13,900. Began to popcorn snow at 14,000 feet.Storms building to the west. Had to descend. Hikers at the summit made their way down also. Sleeting at 13,500 feet on our descent. Great experience for a novice hiker like me.

|Drove almost to the 4wd trailhead and camped for the night. Hiked up in the morning in beautiful and reached the summit in about 2 hours and 45 minutes. Easy climb on good trail for 95% of the way and the other 5% is easy as well. I had the summit to myself the whole time and didn't meet anyone else until I got down to about 13,000 feet.
I would definitely do this again. Awesome views and an awesome mountain.

|I've done this mountain twice, both times with Aaron, the first climb I don't remember who else was along, but the second time was with Rosa and Shirley. To me, Uncompahgre is a perfect example of the reason we climb non-difficult/technical mountains. The area is beautiful, the climb is nice, the view from on top is wonderful--it's an incomparably better place to be than our day jobs! This mountain--at least the standard route--doesn't have the interest, thrill, or technical challenge provided by peaks where just "making it" is an accomplishment, but what a wonderful way to spend a day!
First climb was memorable (and after actually being able to look down the precipitous north face on the second ascent, perhaps a bit more dangerous than we realized at the time) because much of the mountain's upper reaches were in the clouds, with limited visibility, wind, and snow. The only way we knew we'd finally made it was when there was no more "up!"

|Summited by 9:30am and the weather was so nice we stayed for an hour. Scramble at the end was fun, but there is a more stable route up the rock if you stay to the right. The trail was fantastic.

|Route Climbed: West Couloir Date Climbed: 31 August, 2003
|Highest Naked Man in America:
I headed down Crestone-wards in the evening, but the weather there looked so appalling that I just kept on going, bearing generally towards the southwest. Midnight found me deep in the San Juans, pulling up to the Matterhorn Creek trailhead, where I truck-camped for the night. I backpacked in at 8AM, set up my tent just below the Matterhorn slopes, and then hiked around the shoulder across the open plains of tundra to Uncompahgre, which I climbed up a frustrating scree-filled couloir on the west side.
It felt so damned good to be back up high that I practically skied back down Uncompahgre and ran over to Wetterhorn--beating by twenty minutes, I might add, the summit-to-summit time of Matt Mahoney, the ultra-runner (I know, because he recorded his time in the summit register). It was 4PM, and the latest I'd ever summited. On Wetterhorn, the weather was so clear that I took all my clothes off and wandered naked around the summit for a half-hour or so.
I'm fairly certain that for 30 minutes, then, I was the highest naked man in Colorado, if not the country. Of course, by the time I got back to my tent (fully and appropriately attired), it was still only about 5:30PM, so I backpacked the whole damned thing down again and drove the 380 miles home--I never did camp.

HOUSTON — The forecast is looking pretty good as we head into Marathon Weekend here in Houston, KHOU 11 News Meteorologist Brooks Garner said.
Temps will drop down to the mid-40s Friday evening after another beautiful, clear end to the work week. The weekend will start off a little chilly with lows in the upper-30s on Saturday morning, so you may want to keep a light jacket handy when you head out the door.
Temperatures will warm up the upper-60 Saturday afternoon as clouds return to the forecast this weekend.
The Chevron Houston Marathon participants will find cool and sunny weather with temps starting out in the upper-40s Sunday morning and warming up to 71 in the afternoon.
Next week the cloud coverage increases slightly as afternoon high temperatures top out in the mid-70s Monday. Tuesday the daytime temperatures drop back into the 60s.

Alternative Work Schedules Task Force
August 7, 2001
Charge from Tammy Dearie
Head, Social Sciences & Humanities Library
June 1, 2001
Explore the option of alternative work schedules as a means of employee retention and produce a draft report outlining findings and recommendations for department review. In doing so, consider equity as it relates to the various unions that represent many of the library employees, employees who already work alternate work schedules, employees in small units, and employees responsible for staffing public service desks. Recommendations should also be in alignment with the department mission of providing the best public service available to our patrons.
Members: Paul Harris (chair), Laura Chipps, Sam Dunlap, Laura Galván-Estrada, Nancy Relaford, Laurie Titus, and Lydia Ybarra. Consultant: Maria Din
Background and Campus Viewpoint
For more than ten years, there has been an interest in alternative work schedules from SSHL staff for various reasons. Although some library staff already work an alternative work schedule , there has not been a department-wide policy which would be available to all. Other departments in the UCSD Libraries have been able to offer alternative work schedules for all of their staff. None of those units, however, has a public service component, nor do they have established written procedural guidelines.
As part of an effort to find ways to boost staff morale and improve retention, SSHL decided to explore the issue of alternative work schedules as a possible benefit. Most recently, the Public Services Team discussed this issue. Shortly thereafter, a call went out to all staff in SSHL for volunteers representing various viewpoints and staff classifications. This task force consists of many of those volunteers.
We have looked at policies from other institutions and have been in consultation with Maria Din, Library Human Resources and Jonnie Craig-Winston, campus Human Resources. The campus strongly encourages alternative work schedules and there are many successful instances of people already working those alternative work schedules, throughout campus as well as in the Library. The campus is also very open and supportive of telecommuting, if that is a viable option for a given situation. The main components of a successful alternative work arrangement program are guidelines, assessment, and flexibility.
UCSD's Staff Resources offers the following as possible benefits of alternative work arrangements:
(from http://blink-prod.ucsd.edu/Blink/External/Topics/Policy/0,1162,441,00.html)
This document discusses the pros and cons of such a program, the options which could be available, results of an internal survey, and our proposal in general.
Library Survey
The Task Force conducted an informal survey by email in July 2001 to assess the level of interest among SSHL staff and predict how many individuals were likely to request alternate work schedules if given the option. The survey was sent via email to the SSHL mailing list (consisting of 59 names) and responses were accepted by email or on paper, with the option of remaining anonymous by submitting a paper copy. Thirty-seven responses were received. Responses showed a clear positive interest in alternate work schedules, with 35 of 37 respondents saying they were somewhat interested or very interested in the option of alternate work arrangements. When asked about specific options, 23 said they would be somewhat likely or very likely to request a compressed work week (four 10-hour days); 30 said they would be somewhat likely or very likely to request other variations (a 5/4-9 compressed schedule or four 9-hour days and one 4-hour day per week); and 24 said they would be somewhat likely or very likely to request the option of telecommuting for part of their work schedule. Respondents were free to say they would be "likely" to request multiple options. An interesting finding is that over half of the respondents already work schedules other than the "traditional" Monday-Friday 8am-5pm, mostly because of SSHL departmental needs for public service coverage during all hours that the Library is open. Survey results appear at the end of this document as Appendix 1.
Compressed Work Week schedules allow full-time employees to work a biweekly (2-week) period in less than 10 days, or a one week period in less than 5 days. Examples of Compressed Work Week Schedules include:
During a biweekly pay period, a full-time employee works eight 9-hour days and one 8-hour day, for a total of 80 hours worked. The day off during this biweekly work period may be any day as approved by the supervisor.
Telecommuting is defined as a work arrangement in which some or all of the work is performed at an off-campus work site such as the employee's home. A formal telecommuting agreement is required by campus policy. Communication between the employee and the employee's work site may be by e-mail, phone, modem, fax, and pager. UCSD Library guidelines appear at the end of this document as Appendix 2.
Flextime allows the employee flexibility in arrival, departure and/or lunch times, typically with a designated core-time mid-day during which all staff are present.
Examples of Flextime Schedules at UCSD include 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. shifts with half-hour lunch periods, as an alternative to the standard 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. work schedule.
Other issues
Consideration must be given to ensure that library or campus Human Resource personnel are notified as required by campus policy. For information on campus policy see:
For staff and union policy considerations, please refer to Appendix 3.
Discussions For and Against Proposal
There are numerous issues surrounding alternative work schedule proposals to consider, especially as they relate to public service staff. The Task Force has brainstormed and sought out input from co-workers in the Social Sciences and Humanities Library to identify these issues. Also, Jonnie Craig-Winston, Director of Policy Development and Quality of Work Life at UCSD Human Resources, and Maria Din, Head of the Library Human Resources Department have attended meetings offering their expertise to the Task Force. Additional literature on the topic of alternative work schedules is included at the end of this document as Appendix 4.
Shaping much of our discussion are the views of the University of California and UCSD. Both entities clearly support the promulgation of alternative work schedules as a means of improving employee morale and retention. This goal is sought with the understanding and recognition that the needs of the department and mission of the University must continue to be met.
Below are the positive, negative, and additional concerns that we were able to identify and discuss regarding alternative work schedules.
Negative arguments:
Positive arguments:
Additional concerns:
Task Force Recommendations and Guidelines
The Alternative Work Schedule Task Force recommends offering employees of the Social Sciences & Humanities Library the opportunity to alter their established work schedules. This recommendation recognizes the guiding principle that the goals and customer service obligations of the library and individual units are the top priority. These obligations supercede an individual staff member's preferences regarding alternative work schedule requests. Each department or unit makes the final decision pertaining to work schedule requests and adjustments.
A six-month trial or pilot program based on the academic quarter should be established for those interested in an alternate work schedule beginning with the Fall quarter, 2001. Any alternate work schedule request that has been granted will be for the duration of the current quarter to aid scheduling at public service desks.
A preliminary evaluation of the alternate work schedule should be conducted by the Head of SSHL at the end of Winter quarter to allow adequate time to observe the program during a full academic quarter. At this time the alternate work schedule program may be fine-tuned or otherwise adjusted to meet unit, department, or personal needs.
Suggested criteria for evaluating the success/failure of the alternate work schedule are:
The employee's standards of performance and attendance under the alternate work schedule program will still be based on their job description and union, if applicable. The alternate work schedule does not change vacation or sick leave accrual, nor can it be used for accrual of compensatory time or pay. For example, if an employee is granted a compressed work schedule of 4–10 hour workdays per week and is sick one day, they must submit 10 hours of sick leave, not 8, if applicable. Additionally, holidays are still defined as an 8-hour day not 9 or 10. It is suggested that staff revert to 8-hour workdays during holiday weeks or take vacation to compensate for any "lost" time.
It is the employee's responsibility to be proactive and accountable concerning all timekeeping issues and to ensure open communication with both their co-workers and their supervisor. Employees must be flexible within their individual units during staffing vacancies, vacations and holidays. SSH employees may be asked to revert to their standard work schedule to accommodate the needs of their unit/library during these times as well.
Establish and use consistent application guidelines for alternate work schedule requests (Appendix 5). Competing requests should be resolved within individual units. Staff must understand that not all compressed schedule proposals of Monday-Thursday or Tuesday-Friday may be granted. To ensure equity when granting alternate work schedule requests, it is suggested that duplicate proposals (2 staff wanting the same schedule) rotate on a quarterly basis.
In small units, some staffed by a single person or involving a public service component, cross-training opportunities are a way to ensure coverage. In addition, such opportunities may serve as an incentive for employees to volunteer to learn to staff small units.
Problems or abuse of the alternate work schedule should not be grounds for cessation of the program. Rather, problems should be addressed as individual performance issues by the direct supervisor in cooperation with the SSHL Head and LHR, if needed.

As Los Angeles' young breweries mature and grow, many have turned to packaging as a way to reach more beer fans, and some new brewed-in-L.A. beers are about to find their way into your fridge.
Apart from the machinery and the manpower required for a brewery to package its beer, there are significant logistical obstacles to overcome to get bottles into your fridge. From procuring and storing the bottles, to designing and receiving government approval for the labels, to producing enough beer to fill both kegs for draft accounts and bottles, the prospect of packaging beer can be a daunting prospect for a small brewery.

Against all the odds, Frankie manages to write books and remain sane (ish) while working with two women, which is probably why they call themselves Wonky Books. The reason why they do this is fairly simple. Firstly, Frankie can't help writing books, as the process feels very good indeed. Secondly, if the reader gets as much fun from reading the titles as the team has during the writing process (proofing, formatting etc), then that's another person smiling ... mission accomplished.

While students in Raleigh County have been praying for snow days all week, Woodrow Wilson track coach John H. Lilly was praying for just the opposite.
"The snow has really hampered us," Lilly said. "We haven't been able to run in a meet yet. We've been training hard, but Spring Break and snow delays don't equal progress."
Lilly is excited to see the Flying Eagles on the track. Who could blame him?
Beckley returns two state champions in Ramon Edwards and Jacob Meadows.
Edwards and Meadows made up half of the 2012 4x100 state champions, with Nikko Wesley and Zach Tilley, and will look to anchor the Flying Eagles in 2013.
"We have some seniors back that have been in the state meet and been state champions, so we'll lean on them pretty heavy," Lilly said.
Lilly will also look for distance runner Mike Kelly and hurdler Chase Hancock, as well as discus thrower Troy Lilly and shotputer Khalil Anderson, to provide his team a spark in hopes of bringing home even more hardware this season.
n n n
While Lilly's boys track and field team has plenty of experience, coach Shirley Brown will look toward youth and potential with the Lady Eagles.
"We're pretty young," Brown said. "We've got a lot of 9th and 10th graders and only three seniors. We're pretty young, but I think they'll be okay."
While the snow has made it difficult for Brown to really see what kind of talent the younger runners bring to the team, she is excited about distance runners Amanda Hamilton and Rachel Fedders.
"Amanda is going to do real well in the 4x800 and mile," Brown said. "She'll be really good."
"Rachel is a sophmore and she's doing really good. She's running the mile in 6:02 and just ran the two mile in 12:28," Brown continued. "She's doing really well."
Brown admitted that the Lady Eagles are a little thin in the field events, but she feels high jumper Tranner Trostle will have a great season.
"She'll do very well," Brown said.
The Flying Eagles will look to hit the track, weather permitting, following Spring Break.
"I think if you revisit all of our track teams in the area midseason, we'll be able to see exactly how good they are," Brown added. "It's a little tough when you have to shovel the snow off the track just to practice."
n n n
Both the boys and girls track teams will compete in the Oak Hill Invitational on Tuesday, April 9.

Creation Records co-founder Alan McGee, who helped set Britpop in motion with the Jesus and Mary Chain, Oasis, My Bloody Valentine and many other bands, is selling his vast collection of memorabilia. The trove includes records, photos, periodicals, artwork, a letter from former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and more.
About 100 lots of McGee's possessions will be auctioned Saturday, and the former record label boss says there's plenty more to come. "I'm just clearing all this rock & roll rubbish from my house," said McGee, who is now devoted to film and writing projects. "I've no real interest in the past and have sort of moved on from the music scene."
McGee's items will be part of a larger auction of "Madchester" memorabilia, including an early Oasis demo tape, a painting by Stone Roses guitarist John Squire and a piece of the dance floor from the Hacienda nightclub. The auction will also feature a lock of hair and a dental crown belonging to Elvis Presley.

After his death in 1953, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin's remains were embalmed and put on display next to Vladimir Lenin. Hundreds of thousands of people came to see the Generalissimo in the mausoleum.
Yet eight years later, the Soviet government ordered Stalin's remains removed from the tomb. Why did the Soviet government change their mind? What happened to Stalin's body after it was removed from Lenin's tomb?
Stalin's Death
Joseph Stalin had been the despotic dictator of the Soviet Union for nearly 30 years. Though he is now considered responsible for the deaths of millions of his own people through famine and purges, when his death was announced to the people of the Soviet Union on March 6, 1953, many wept. He had led them to victory in World War II. He had been their leader, the Father of the Peoples, the Supreme Commander, the Generalissimo. And now he was dead.
Through a succession of bulletins, the Soviet people had been made aware that Stalin was gravely ill. At four in the morning of March 6, 1953, it was announced: "[T]he heart of the comrade-in-arms and continuer of genius of Lenin's cause, of the wise leader and teacher of the Communist Party and the Soviet Union, has ceased to beat."1
Joseph Stalin, 73 years of age, had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died at 9:50 p.m. on March 5, 1953.
Stalin's body was washed by a nurse and then carried via a white car to the Kremlin mortuary. There, an autopsy was performed. After the autopsy was completed, Stalin's body was given to the embalmers to prepare it for the three days it would lay-in-state.
Stalin's body was placed on temporary display in the Hall of Columns. Thousands of people lined up in the snow to see it. The crowds were so dense and chaotic outside that some people were trampled underfoot, others rammed against traffic lights, and some others choked to death. It is estimated that 500 people lost their lives while trying to get a glimpse of Stalin's corpse.
On March 9, nine pallbearers carried the coffin from the Hall of Columns onto a gun carriage. The body was then ceremoniously taken to Lenin's tomb on the Red Square in Moscow.
Only three speeches were made - one by Georgy Malenkov, another by Lavrenty Beria, and the third by Vyacheslav Molotov. Then, covered in black and red silk, Stalin's coffin was carried into the tomb. At noon, throughout the Soviet Union, came a loud roar - whistles, bells, guns, and sirens were blown in honor of Stalin.
Preparation for Eternity
Though Stalin's body had been embalmed, it was only prepared for the three day lying-in-state. It was going to take much more preparation to make the body seem unchanged for generations.
When Lenin died in 1924, Professor Vorobyev had done the embalming. It was a complicated process that resulted in an electric pump being installed inside Lenin's body to maintain a constant humidity.2
When Stalin died in 1953, Professor Vorobyev had already passed away. Thus, the job of embalming Stalin went to Professor Vorobyev's assistant, Professor Zharsky. The embalming process took several months.
In November 1953, seven months after Stalin's death, the tomb was reopened. Stalin lay in a coffin, under glass, near the body of Lenin. (Photo)

Smooth, smooth, smooth.
Fantastic! Many thanks for sharing. Waiting in anticipation for the 400th! Apurva from Pune, India.
Thank you!
Hey Moos! Glad to see you are still here. I dropped by Senor Jillem earlier....and he's disappeared. Totally ruined my day.
AGC seems to have been taken down as well. :(
Hope you manage to weather the storms.
I don't know how I'm going to track those two fantastic blogs down again, and I would really miss you if you went.
Very nice, thanks for sharing.

Dorton was charged with pimping, which is arranging sexual liaisons for money. It is totally asinine that this is even a crime. As George Carlin once pointed out, it is not illegal to have sex with someone, and it is not illegal to give them money; so why is it illegal to give someone sex for money?
He was also charged with assault, with absolutely no witnesses to what happened.
The woman charging him was a completely disreputable liar whose testimony fell completely apart on the witness stand.
This brings up a number of questions: Why was this man charged with anything at all? Why did the prosecutors office not see that this case was a complete tissue of lies from the beginning? why did the judge not just throw this whole case out completely? Why is it that the woman was not charged (as far as we know) with filing a false report? And lastly, and most important of all, why do we citizens allow prosecutors to get away with this kind of nastiness with absolutely zero consequences whatsoever?
It's high time we stop these massive injustices in our system. The prosecutor in this case should be forced to resign, and prosecuted himself!

Why this happened
Some of the CDs you installed were version 3 add-ons. Yes, version 3 add-ons *do* work in Version 4 of PC Study Bible.
All of the PC Study Bible add-ons are smart enough to install their *content*, and not install their *program* update, if you already are running a newer version. So, for example, if you are running version 4.0 (or later) of PC Study Bible, then you install The Amplified Bible with 3.3A Update, The Amplified Bible *will* be installed into your version 4 program, but the 3.3A Update will *not* be installed.
However, there is a nuisance side effect of installing a version 3 add-on onto a version 4 system: you may see a PC Study Bible *3* (three) icon appear on your desktop (and in your Start > Programs menu), in addition to version 4. This does *not* mean that you have installed both version 3 and version 4; these are just extra version 3 shortcuts.
How do I fix it?
Install last one of the following CDs:
--- first choice: any add-on CD which mentions Version 4.2B or later. If you have several of these, choose the CD with the highest version, e.g. 4.2F is better than 4.2B.
--- second choice: Version 4 Upgrade Bonus (BON-50PD-2 or later). Also called Version 4 Bonus.
--- third choice: your Reference Library CD which has the highest version, e.g. 4.1 is better than 4.0.
* * * *
If such a CD has already been installed, re-installing it will *not* create duplicate information; it just cleans up any version 3 icons and (if it is one of the more recent CDs) it consolidates all PC Study Bible entries in Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs into a single line ("PC Study Bible (remove only)").

An arrogant 16 year old douchebag who gained popularity first from Vine, then decided to start making Youtube videos unfortunately. He and two other of his ugly friends made a video called "What Guys Look For In Girls" where they all basically describe their ideas of a perfect girl. Nash at first says "Be yourself, be natural" to the young girls who maybe and most likely are watching the video and then goes on saying that he dislikes it when girls have body hair and that it's mandatory that they shave because it's "gross" when they don't. After receiving much hate and backlash for this stupid fucking video, he took it down but people still continue to rip this guy a new one making him a huge joke. Someone should tell Nash Grier that girls don't like boys who have eyes so close together that they could give them two black eyes with one punch. The fact that this little fuck has 1 million YT subscribers makes me lose faith in all humanity.
Girl #1: "Hey do you like my outfit?"
Girl #2: "No way, you can see your arm hair!"
Girl #1: "Who the fuck cares?"
Girl #2: "Nash Grier!"
Girl #2: "No way, you can see your arm hair!"
Girl #1: "Who the fuck cares?"
Girl #2: "Nash Grier!"

Nash Grier is a 16 year old Vine and Youtube star. You're probably here because you heard about the controversy surrounding a video he made. Nash recently uploaded a video called "What guys look for in girls". There was a huge backlash from other prominent youtubers (Hank Green, Mr Repzion, Savannah Brown, to name a few good ones), and the video was quickly taken down. However, there's a bigger problem. When Nash posted the video, he had a little over 300k subscribers on Youtube. That was about a month ago, and now he's at over 1 million subscribers. By posting the controversial, abusive video, he more than tripled his following on youtube in a fraction of the time other youtubers need. Nash shot himself, an arrogant teenager, up to stardom on the internet. This is not right. The video sent waves of negative messages to his, Cameron's, and JC's followers, telling them to be entertaining, shave, not be a slut (but also not play hard to get!), shave, wear skirts with high socks, shave, and have a talent, like being a head cheerleader.
Nash Grier is hot.

A teen viner who has is rude and is offensive to most of humanity. He made a vine that claimed 'Fags', meaning gays, are the cause of HIV and also made a video talking 'about what they look for in girls' and said it was mandatory that they shave because having hair on your arms or legs is 'gross'. Basically meaning his fan base is full of ignorant girls who only like him because he is somewhat attractive. This makes people lose faith in humanity.
Nash Grier is a faggot.
