Summit generates ideas to make Ill. schools safer

Updated: January 22, 2013 7:50PM
SPRINGFIELD — Gov. Pat Quinn, school administrators and mental health and public safety experts said Tuesday that they left a school safety summit with pages of ideas, including improving resources for mental health and encouraging students to speak up if they hear about potential threats.
"We want to educate all of those who come through the school building, including the students, that being silent about potential violence is a very dangerous thing," Quinn said at a news conference after the summit.
More than 50 people gathered at the Illinois Emergency Management Agency in response to a call from the governor following last month's Connecticut school shooting. He said that shooting and one in a Colorado movie theater last year served as an "alarm bell."
Quinn described the summit as an early step in an ongoing conversation to find measures that could prevent violent episodes in schools. Quinn cited existing efforts in communities across the state that could be adopted by other towns. In the suburban Chicago community of Berwyn, the governor said, teachers and school staffers receive training regarding violence in the classroom.
"If there are any problems of violence such as bullying, hazing going on, we have to address those. We cannot look the other way," he said.
Quinn also said he will be looking into whether adequate mental health services are available to educators and students to prevent violence.
Quinn said some of the ideas discussed at Tuesday's summit may lead to legislation and that the topic also is likely to come up in his State of the State address next month.
He didn't delve into specifics, but he said districts could make the decision about whether to implement some initiatives, while others could be adopted statewide. He said implementing some measures in all of the state's 870 public school districts could be challenging.
Information sharing between schools and law enforcement authorities was a key point discussed at the meeting.
Downers Grove Police Chief Robert Porter, the acting president of the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police, said attendees discussed how and when educators, mental health professional and authorities must communicate about red flags raised by community members that could end in an outburst of violence.
Quinn, a proponent of a statewide ban on assault weapons, did not mention gun control in his remarks after the meeting. When asked why members of the National Rifle Association did not attend the summit, he said the invitation to the meeting was only for people in the education and public safety fields. He added that he would be "happy to listen" to ideas from the group.
"Anybody in a democracy has a voice," Quinn said.

Warren Buffett appeared live on CNBC's Squawk Box this morning, February 27, 2012, for his annual "Ask Warren" three-hour marathon.
This is part three of a transcript of his comments. (Click here for part two)
JOE: Let's get to Becky who is in Omaha this morning. She's with Berkshire Hathaway chairman and CEO Warren Buffett.
Becky, I was — I don't know — leading into the last break, I was thinking about, I don't know whether you saw Barron's, there was a Jeremy Grantham piece that was very troubling to me and I wanted to just at some point ask Warren about...
BECKY: Why don't you ask him now?
JOE: Yeah. OK. Warren, his basic thrust was that our middle class has been getting more and more decimated over the years as a lot of the cheap labor is found in the rest of the world where obviously the standard of living is not as high and it's just been a natural progression to send a lot of the jobs overseas. As a result, the middle class has had to borrow to fund a lifestyle and that's one of the reasons that the consumer is so strapped at this point. And it's a very negative piece where basically looking for another seven years or so of sub-par growth because of this and I don't know what the answer is. I think he — re-education or more to try to become up to, you know, more competitive or at least better than the rest of the world at doing things for our labor force. Do you have an answer for that?
BUFFETT: Yeah, the answer is, you know, our market system has worked well for 200-plus years. It's working well now in all areas except home construction, those related to home construction. You know, we're sitting here where the market has doubled from three years ago when we were sitting here. This country is remarkable. I mean, you have — you have people at our own company, you've got Tony Nicely at GEICO trying to figure out how to — how to serve customers better tomorrow, how to bring down costs. You've got Matt Rose trying to plan for the future of railroads in Fort Worth today and tomorrow. You've got people at Apple trying to come up with new products that you and I haven't thought of yet. America — American capitalism is dynamic, so anytime you look at it on a static basis, you can get very pessimistic.
And while I got out of school in 1951, the two people I revered most in the world, my dad and Ben Graham, told me it was a bad time to start in business, you know. It — you can sit down at the start of every year and write down 10 or 20 reasons why it's, you know, things are terrible. But the truth is, this economy works wonderfully. It's working wonderfully now. I mean, it isn't working for everybody at this moment and it's coming back from a terrible shock that it received in the fall of 2008. But look how far it's come back and it continues to come back every day. It's been doing it now since the fall of 2009. So it's, you know, it is — it is a terrible mistake to get pessimistic on America. You know, it has not worked since 1776 and it's not going to start working now.
BECKY: Warren, we touched on this in the last hour, but just the idea, you bring up that the stock market has doubled over the last three years when we've been sitting here and again, there are many people who now worry that the best and easiest gains are over. You said yourself in the last hour that it's not springtime anymore.
BUFFETT: No.
BECKY: Does that change what people — the way that people should be looking at the stock market as a potential investment?
BUFFETT: They should be looking at the funds they're going to save. I mean, that's the — those are the only funds you save that you invest with, and figure out what's the best thing to do with them. And they can buy farmland, they can buy apartment houses, they can buy duplexes, they can buy businesses, they can buy businesses through stocks, they can buy rare stamps, they can buy gold or they can stick it in money market accounts and all. They've always got all those options. And I've written a section in the annual report why I think that businesses are the best option. Now the nice thing about businesses is in this country is you can buy into all the best businesses in the United States, virtually. You can buy a piece of them and you don't have to buy, you know, if you don't understand company XYZ, you can buy company ABC. And naturally, it would be like — nicer to buy them at the prices of three years ago.
BECKY: Mm-hmm.
BUFFETT: But you know, they are attractive relative to other assets. That doesn't mean they're going to go up, but I will guarantee you that over a 20 or 30 year period, they're going to perform very well. And as I mentioned a little earlier, actually single family houses bought on a distressed basis now and financed over a long term at these interest rates may be the best investment of all. I mean, if I knew anything about real estate and I just was working with a relatively small amount of money and I was seeing distressed houses around me that I could rent out, I would buy them and put on an 80 — a 4 percent mortgage for 30 years and you know, I — three or four or five years, I'd probably sell it at a very substantial profit relative to my equity.
BECKY: Mm-hmm. OK. You know, Warren, we left off in the last break talking about taxes and your role in this tax debate has become very central and very polarizing. And just the last week Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey weighed in on this and weighed in on what you've been saying. Take a listen to what he had to say.
PIERS MORGAN, CNN (On tape): Warren Buffett keeps screaming to be taxed more.
Governor CHRIS CHRISTIE (R-New Jersey): Yeah. Well, he should just write a check and shut up. Really, and just contribute, OK? I mean, you know, the fact of the matter is that I'm tired of hearing about it. If he wants to give the government more money, he's got the ability to write a check. Go ahead and write it.
BECKY: He's not the only person who feels that way.
BUFFETT: Yeah.
BECKY: We've got a lot of viewer email that came in. We've been sitting down and doing this ask Warren session here for I guess the last four years or so.
BUFFETT: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
BECKY: And this year more than any year there were a lot of emails that came in that similarly echoed what Chris Christie had to say. What...
BUFFETT: Well, I hope they were a little more eloquent than that. But you know, it's sort of a touching response to a $1.2 trillion deficit, isn't it, that somehow the American people will just all send in checks and take care of it. That was first come up with — first fellow to come up with that was Senator McConnell and I really — I — it's sort of astounding to me that somebody that has the responsibility for being the minority leader in the Senate would think that you attack a $1.2 trillion or so deficit by asking for voluntary contributions. Since he did, I offered to triple his, but that's a — that's a side show. The real problem we have is we're taking in too little money and we're spending too much and that's not going to be solved by voluntary contributions. What we need is a policy, a tax policy. And to give you an idea of how extreme it is, just take a look, take a look at what I've labeled A1. And you can — you can find this on the Internet. And the figures I've circled, the 1992 showed that the 400 largest incomes in the United States that year, adjusted gross incomes, were 18 billion. Now that's about $45 million a person. And if you go down to 2008, it's 108 million. That's 270 million a person. So from 1992, the 400 top incomes went from 45 million to 270 million, which is not bad, I think. Now if you go over to A2...
BECKY: Mm-hmm.
BUFFETT: ...you will see that during the same period, those top 400 saw their tax rates drop from 26.3 percent to 18.1 percent.
BECKY: Right.
BUFFETT: At the same time that was happening. But what's even more startling is if you go to A3 and you will see that in 1992, six people among those 400 paid at a rate that was less than 10 percent. That's just two-thirds of what the average person pays on payroll taxes. And that six went up to 30 over that period. And the number paying from 10 to 15 went from 10 to 101. So 131 of the 400 largest incomes averaging $270 million each, 131 out of 400 were paying at a 15 percent rate or below. And that — the payroll tax for people making less than 100,000 up until this year was 15.3 percent, they were paying. So solving that problem — solving the problem of me paying the low tax rate I pay is not going to solve the fiscal problems of the United States, but to ask other people to be making sacrifices during this period and we're going to ask them to make sacrifices, we're going to ask them to make it on the revenue side and on the expenditure side, and to leave this group alone is a travesty.
BECKY: So to Joe's point, you can't fix the deficit by just going after...
BUFFETT: No. You can't — you can't fix the deficit by going after any one expenditure or any one revenue item. And you certainly can't fix it by asking for voluntary contributions.
BECKY: So this is something that you think for the optics of the situation or just for the appearance of fairness, the president says all the time.
BUFFETT: I think it should be incorporated into a revision of — which is going to have to happen on both the revenue side and the expenditure side. But I certainly think it's important to incorporate this into a revision. And I think this is something that can be done immediately.
BECKY: Mm-hmm.
BUFFETT: I mean, a minimum tax on people — there's 131 people that filed those returns that showed 15 percent of less and my cleaning lady, Mary, you know, has a payroll tax of 15 percent.
BECKY: Joe:
JOE: But — yeah, but what — I just don't know why — I don't know why you harp on it so much, though, Warren, when you know that it's 1 percent — it's not going to do any — it's not going to solve anything. Maybe we need to fix it for the optics of the situation, but what — I guess, the real — the real question is what do we do with dividend income and capital gains income?
BECKY: Mm-hmm.
JOE: Because it — let's say that you work your entire life paying ordinary income and you're not a — let's say you're not getting carried interest. Let's say you pay — under your normal situation, you're paying ordinary income at 30 or 35 percent. And you — and you do very well and you're very successful. And at that point in your life, you're 60 years old, 65 years old, you invest in dividend-paying stocks and you have capital gains, which lowers your taxes to that rate. You've paid taxes once already. I mean, there — we need to decide what the correct rate for capital formation is for long-term gains and for dividend income. It just seems — I don't know, just to keep bringing it up as a — as a red — look at this, look at this, it's not fair, it's not fair. When you know it has to do with long-term gains and dividend income. Let's do something, let's find the right rates for dividend income and long-term gains and stop pointing fingers at these people.
BUFFETT: One point — I don't think I've named an individual.
JOE: No, you haven't. But it's a matter of public record, you've only got to look up 130 of them.
BUFFETT: Well, no, but the real question is this a tax code the United States should be proud of that produces these results?
JOE: I don't know whether we should be...
BUFFETT: (Unintelligible)...500...
JOE: But now that we're back to emotion again, we're proud, we're not fair, we're not this. We've got a huge problem and this doesn't — this won't scratch the surface of the problem. And carried interest?
BUFFETT: Oh, well, I was...
JOE: Carried interest, you need to do — you need to do something with carried interest as well.
BUFFETT: I would say...
JOE: And maybe if there's an optical — if there's that optics there. But the real problem and the reason Simpson-Bowles is so hard is that most people don't want their entitlements to be touched, for Medicare or for Social Security and that's going to be the hardest thing that we — that we try to do in dealing with the deficit, not taxing 131 people that makes you feel better about yourself.
BUFFETT: Well, no, the numbers here, though, just think about it a second, Joe. The numbers here probably come to 40 billion. Now that doesn't — that may not sound like a lot of money to you, but 40 billion is 2,000 — is almost $2,000 a piece for 20 million families.
JOE: You — I know.
BUFFETT: If you take — if you take the bottom 20 percent in the United States, there's 20 — almost 24 million households, households, and their top income is $21,000, now if you — to those people, 40 billion divided by their 20-some million is real money, it's 1,000 or $2,000. But I don't — I don't argue with you. It's going to be tough to take away promises we've made. We — we're a rich family that's overpromised. But to not start at the top. I mean, this is something we can do something about right now and it is not an...
JOE: But how do we do it, Warren?
BUFFETT: It's not an...
JOE: Shouldn't we try to try to figure out what the...
BUFFETT: (Unintelligible)
JOE: ...what the best rate for the most competitive and the rate that brings everyone the most benefit in dividends and capital? We've got to have that discussion. Isn't that more important?
BUFFETT: Well...
JOE: Because that's how these — that's how these people are — to just like put a, what do you, like a surtax or something, that — or we can do that. I've asked you why can't we just tax you at 10 percent of your wealth and that didn't go over very well. If you had a 10 percent of all this wealth would bring in quite a bit of money, too. We'd get — I figure we get about 5 billion from you alone, right?
BUFFETT: Yeah, that's true and actually, you know, it's been — wealth tax is tough to enforce. I mean, very hard to say what, you know, what every farm is worth or you know, every business, private business is worth. I don't — I don't particularly favor a wealth tax, but I would not — I would have no objection to it. I mean, if 10 percent of my wealth and 10 percent of everybody's wealth went to the government, I don't think that's the best system, but...
JOE: What should we do with capital gains? What do you think — you think is 30 percent OK? What about dividends? They're actually taxed the first time when a company is in its operation — I guess you say it's taxed to 1.2 percent anyway for corporations, but they do pay taxes once. What should the dividend rate be? I mean, you must have an idea where capital gains and dividends should be right now. Tax rates.
BUFFETT: Well, OK. Incidentally, that point about double taxation has been made, but I just thought it would be fun to take a look at my own situation because it — if you go back to — I did — I made these calculations in the office three times where my rate was about half or everybody's rate. If you go back to 2004, if you put up what would be that number on that, if you put up — well...
BECKY: Warren, let me ask you.
BUFFETT: Yeah.
BECKY: What do you think about dividends? Is there a rate that is acceptable? If they went to 25 percent, if they went to 30 percent?
BUFFETT: Well, the best period we had in our — in post-war history, in the '50s and '60s.
BECKY: Mm-hmm.
BUFFETT: And in the '50s and '60s the tax rate generally on capital gains was 25 percent.
BECKY: Mm-hmm.
BUFFETT: And the tax rate on ordinary income got up to 80 percent or thereabouts. And our country prospered very substantially. I mean, the stock market did well, investors did well, the economy did well. So that was — that was a rate that worked very well. Corporate tax rates then were 52 percent.
BECKY: Should...
BUFFETT: And people paid them, incidentally.
BECKY: Should capital gains and dividends be the same rate as ordinary income?
BUFFETT: That depends on what the ordinary income rates are. I mean, you'll — you can go that either way. I — that's what they were in 1986. I mean, that was — under Reagan we went to 28 percent on everything. I don't have any problem with that. I think that they're — I think that says every tax system is going to get criticized. I would not have a problem with a 28 percent rate. There would be a lower rate on people with lower incomes, but so it would still be a graduated rate.
BECKY: Mm-hmm.
BUFFETT: The but idea of taxing capital gains and dividends as — at the same rate, we've done that in 1986 and people thought it was a wonderful improvement on the tax code at that time.
BECKY: Mm-hmm. Joe, does that answer your question?
JOE: Yeah, I think now we're at least — now we're having the discussion, maybe that's what we need to do. And then we need to just, you know, hear from certain people that just say, you know, for competitive reasons, you don't want to raise taxes on the job creators, blah, blah. You've heard all this stuff before, but at least we can then have a...
BUFFETT: Sure.
JOE: We can have an actual discussion. Because that would take care of this whole issue that your secretary pays less than you in taxes. That wouldn't happen if it — if you were — if your income was taxed at ordinary income rates. That wouldn't happen if it — if you were — if your income was taxed at ordinary income rates. We'd be — we'd be finished with the discussion if it was 28 percent, Warren.
BUFFETT: Yeah, no, she wasn't paying — well, you've got to integrate payroll taxes in there, too.
JOE: Well, I know, I know.
BUFFETT: But, yeah. But if you...
JOE: And you must — you must be — I mean...
BUFFETT: ...there's no question — but it's...
JOE: ...it would be nice if you could give her a little bit of a raise then we wouldn't have to worry about it all the time. You could probably pay her a half a million a year, right? She does — I mean, she...
BUFFETT: Well, but...
JOE: ...dealing with you must be worth at least a half a million.
BUFFETT: Her tax rate — well, it is, there's no question, she's worth it. But her tax rate then would not — it would still be double mine. It doesn't — that...
JOE: Well that's because — that's because yours is all on — that's because yours is all dividend again. You don't pay yourself any ordinary income. I wouldn't pay myself anything if I were you, either, but I sure would like $60 billion.
BUFFETT: Yeah, well, 131 out of those 400 people came in at below 15 percent.
JOE: I know. But have they got dividend — OK, now we're — now we're going in circles. We're back to — we got to do — we got to figure out how to do that. And then the carried interest thing, which is also — you know, when you say someone has worked a lifetime and then is enjoying the fruits of their lower tax rates, if you made your entire income from the carried interest then you got — you know, then you got to explain that away. That makes it tough. That optically is bad.
BUFFETT: Joe, no we — we had — we had this fellow, Todd Combs, he came to work for us last year. He was running a hedge fund before that. He made a lot of money from us last year because his performance was terrific. He did exactly what he was doing at the hedge fund before. He has people working for him. He came to work at the same time, read the same papers, and he got taxed at more than twice the rate that he would have if he'd done exactly the same activities at a hedge fund. Now that does not strike me a making any sense.
JOE: Wow, we are — this is — I'm getting — you know, I'm getting...
ANDREW: A lot of emails.
JOE: ...a lot of emails coming in to me personally from — I've heard of some of these people. Anyway, thanks, Warren. We'll be back to talk more with the Oracle of Omaha, the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, but right now data that could move the markets this week. We'll tell you what you need to be watching. SQUAWK BOX will be right back.

The Honda XLV750 R was the first Japanese made monster trail bike to go head to head with the R80GS from BMW. Both bikes were twin cylinder machines and both had shaft drive. Unfortunately the XLV was too top heavy for even gentle off-road riding and also suffered major gearbox faults. The model was discontinued in 1983. Style is pure ...

If you're used to smooth riding, civilized singles like BMW's F650 range then KTM's 640 Adventure will come as something of a shock. It's very vibey, absurdly tall, not that comfortable and pre-2004 models suffer from patchy engine reliability. Having said that in the muddy side of its dual-purpose role it's untouchable for handling, presence and rugged toughness.

Great Food, Good Price – Good selection of food and great atmosphere.
Question...... – Is it mandatory to be someone with a horrible attitude problem who thinks that they are better then everyone (as 30 year old bartenders and servers??? Nice life.YOU WAIT TABLES!) to work at Sidewalk? Just wondering?.cause that's all i've EVER encountered there.
I guess you have to be part of this oh-so-cool group of dead-beat bar staff to have ANYONE who works there just give you OKAY service without an attitude. SORRY I ORDERED A BEER AT A BAR, what WAS I thinking?!?!?!
SHORT CHANGED US! – I have honestly never left a review for a restaurant but- I felt it was necessary. I was really disappointed. My bf and I USED to eat there frequently. Don't think we will be gong back. We love the chicken pesto sandwich and the Cajun Hash and that is what kept us coming back until today. We came in to a barren Side Walk cafe- which I remember use to be packed as soon as it opened... anyhow we sit down order, chat with the nice older black lady.. eat everything is delicious- no problems.. we get our check for $22.00 and give her two 20 dollar bills ($40) she brings back 8 one dollar bills. Obviously wrong change- she shorted us $10 bucks. We told her the change was wrong and she quickly new her exact response- "Oh, did I short you 10" PRETTY STRANGE she knew exactly what she shorted us.... Makes no sense... we are good tippers, UNBELIEVABLE- I am wondering if that it why it was so barren- is that the new deal shorting the customer's change? Be Careful! SHADY!!!
Losing Money – I went to Sidewalk to drink, and the atmosphere is pretty typical of a Fan bar - dark and narrow - but it wasn't crowded and the patio was available on a warm Friday night. Unfortunately, we felt like we couldn't order shots because every time we did, our waitress asked if she could take one with us (not if we could buy her one), but then subsequently put it on our bill if we didn't say no (I guess an akward "sure," followed by an are-you-serious-type laugh means "please let us buy you a drink" to some people). So from that point on, although we wanted to order more drinks, we did not because we feared we'd also have to pay for the waitstaff to drink. Additionally, she didn't want to wait on you unless it involved taking shots on your tab (it took about 20 minutes to get a check, but about 3 to get those shots!), and she slurred whenever she spoke. I think we now know why it was the only fan bar not crowded on a Friday night.
Worst Bar in Richmond – Horrible Serivice. That's all I have to say about the place. I walked in there about 1:15 in the AM. I wasn't there for food, I was there to order drinks. They were happy to take my drink order, but letting me drink it was another story. They gave me about a minute to drink it, and of course I didn't finish it by then. The waitress promptly grabbed the drink out of my hand and took it away and dumped it. I protested, but the waitress would have none of it. This was rediculous. If they had to close the bar I understand, don't serve me. But they decided to sell me a drink. If you're going to do that than at least just refuse to sell to me. The bastard's sold me a drink, and then didn't let me drink it. Screw the Sidewalk Cafe in Richmond, VA. There's plenty of other places to eat and drink in the Fan of Richmond. Sidewalk is only for the stuck-up and retarded crowd. NICE SERVICE SIDEWALK CAFE. I MAKE IT MY GOAL TO STEER CUSTOMERS AWAY FROM YOUR BUSINESS. I would use a profanity, but then my comment wouldn't be posted on this site. %$*@ OFF Sidewalk Cafe. I counted on you and you DID NOT deliver.
They have one of the worst waitresses there ever – This place can serve a good crab cake sandwich but not good enough that I will ever subject myself to such crude service. I went one time to meet a friend there for lunch and we waited at the bar for our food to be ready. Our order can out very quickly and I had 10 minutes before I neded to go back to work. I started eating some of my food from the bag since I didin't have time to sit down and eat the whole thing there when the waitress said she wouldn't stand for me to eat without a plate. So I put my sandwich on the plate took 2 bites and then put it back in the bag and my friend paid for our lunches. I thanked the waitress and proceeded to leave when I was yelled at "thanks for helping out the girls in the back honey!!" I said no problem (because I thought at first that she said something like "thanks for coming" or something to that effect.....couldn't hear too great since it was kind of loud. I asked my friend if she had said what I thought she said and he said yeah...she was yelling at u. That incident made me very upset because I always tip when I pay (how was I to know he didn't leave a tip) and second of all I didn't ask for the plate since I wasn't goin to be there for over 15 minutes anyways. I won't be going back.
IF you like bad food and terrible company, this is your place! – WOW!!!!!
This could be the worst place in Richmond...if not the United States! The food was TERRIBLE!!! We ordered our burger medium rare, they were BLACK!!!!! The Calamaria came with a SOUR CREAM dip!!! The keg beer was not right, a bit watered-down. The best part was the table next to us. It was about 5:30PM and the trash bags next to us were WASTED! They would get up to go and do some SNOW in bathroom once in a while and the rest of the time one of them, a stripper no doubt, was doing "quarter qrinds" on her friends!!! What a great place!! Oh, by the way, they were all in their LATE 30s!!!!! NEVER GO HERE!!!!!!! EVER!!!!!
Make yourself at home--this neighborhood haven rolls out the welcome mat for friends and strangers. – The Scene
Think college dorm-turned-neighborhood bar. Sidewalk Cafe is a scaled-down cubbyhole where the locals know the bartenders, the bartenders know the locals, and everyone else secretly wishes they could get a better grasp on the insider action. Booths and bar seats are prime real estate here; they fill up quickly on weekend nights and during lunchtime rush hours. Why the popularity? Perhaps it's the edgy attitude, or its oh-so-Richmondy neighborhood appeal.
The Food
With a menu as diverse as this one, it would stand to reason that quality gets sacrificed. Not true. In fact, the quesadillas fare better than at most Mexican restaurants--they're big, thick and cheesy enough to exhaust the jaws. If cheese doesn't please, check out the seafood, pasta or sandwiches. Service is friendly and fast.
Best food in the fan, great prices! – I've tried about 25 items on the menu (I come about 2 or 3 times a week) and everything wasn't just good, it was seriously very tasty! The best spaghetti (Spaghetti A La Greek with meatsauce) I've ever tried. Saganaki and the Hummus Plate are both excellent appetizers. Also the best chicken ceasar salad in Richmond. It can get pretty packed so get there after lunch rush and dinner rush. Very good prices (example: Spaghetti a la Greek with huge "side" salad, and bread feeds 4 people, costs 8.95!) Take the rest home =) or share it with a group for a quality inexpensive night out.
Best bang for your buck in Richmond – Food is good and the price is excellent. Must eat in Richmond. Attracts a younger, 20 something crowd but the food attracts just about everyone. Hard to spend $30.00 on dinner at this place. Eat there as often as you can and try everything on the menu. Pretty loud as the night goes on so if you are looking for a romantic restaurant this ain't it.

Titled "Don't Take Me Home," the song is a brightly glowing dance-pop confection filled with resplendent synths that features the lush and airy vocals of emerging Milwaukee pop duo Vic & Gab. Play it during a late night drive, a sunset party on the beach or whenever you need a little escape from whatever is dragging you down. Betabloc3r brings out the sunshine and happy vibes with "Don't Take Me Home" no matter where you tune in. -ArjanWrites.com

Universal Declaration of Human Lefts
[Toot!] Index: 2.5
Communism Bit: On
Location: Job, of course
We were called upon to write about Human Rights on the 15th of May. Here's my piece. Rambling and laced with poison. I wrote it yesterday. Go with a good bladder. No guns allowed. Thank you.
So, it is the day when bloggers talk about human rights. I don't believe any one of them will say we should abolish the concept of human rights. And that is the problem. The uniformity of opinion, I mean. I've learnt to distrust uniform opinion. Uniformity, in nature, is the exception, not the norm. Chaos rules. Variety, difference, stand-out-ness. Until it comes to things like human rights. Somehow, we've been convinced that this Universal Declaration of Human Rights is, um, universal. Many people think that is rubbish, and I'm one of them.
At this point, I've lost all the world, and I'm left with enough readers—all two of us—to continue without censoring how I feel.
First of all, that Declaration has the wrong name. Which Declaration am I talking about? That's the problem: there is this other declaration that the Americans wrote in 1776, what they called the "Declaration of Independence". And the fact that this Human Rights Declaration borrows a name (and naming format) from the independence one is a major sign of the levels of Americentricism that infected it. I don't care if you think Americentricism is good or bad: that the Declaration was affected by any single culture so obviously is a sign that it is not meant for everyone. If you don't think this is wrong, you're infringing on my human rights not to have to live under forcible foreign influence. (This doesn't change, even if you shift the nominal blame to la Déclaration.)
Are we together? You're gone? :o( Okay, let me write to myself. Dear 27th Comrade ...
First, let me point out a couple of things I find funny or unrealistic in the Declaration.
I'm a fan of recursion. I like things that refer to themselves. But sometimes it's not funny, because you may never get to the end of the movie (for example) if, in its second minute, it starts showing (as part of the movie) what was happening at the beginning of the movie (probably as a character's memory). When you get to the second minute, the character will remember where she began remembering, and then you go back to the beginning, and keep spinning in that circle until you die.
Here is Article 2 of the Declaration: "Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration [...]".
And so, Mullah Nasrudin closed the Declaration and started reading again from the beginning, to see what rights Article 2 was talking about. Needless to say he kept doing this whenever he reached Article 2.
The most-interesting one is Article 13. It says I can be within any borders, and it's my human right. "Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state." Okay, so let me map out my itinerary and go see the World! :o) It's my human right! No denying me visas on such stupid reasons as "You're carrying bombs, and you've expressed hate for this country many times, so we won't let you in ..." Human rights, oyee!
People celebrate that we have the Declaration. I mourn that we need it at all. Failing to just love one another, we rely on thirty dry clauses—just thirty to sum up something as fundamental as human rights for six billion diverse human souls. The problem with these thirty is that they summarise and generalise. In other words, they leak. There are holes.
Article 16 mentions "Men and women of full age [...] have the right to marry and to found a family." Well, way to make such grandiose statements, not even respecting culture. Incest, for example, is a human right. (I'm not against it; I'm just pointing out that neither is the Declaration—it is for it.) Oh, and it is against gay marriage, too. "Men and women," it says. ("Oh," you may say, "it doesn't say how the pairs are made, only which people can make the pairs, namely grown humans." But if we debate about what the damn paper is trying to say, try debating with the guy who disagrees with the clause on torture, when the Americans next get you.)
That's not to mention that this Declaration is nearly the most-invasive cultural imperialism. Ever. Like, it took Western attitudes and ideas and ideals and (naturally) they sound good to Western ears (or ears that have been influenced by the West), and painted them over the other parts of the World in a forcible "holy rape", the kind of "cleansing rape" it doesn't put any sentences out against (for cowardice/brevity), even though there are people who suffer it a lot. People, I'm facing the fact that the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" says nothing about what has been called the grossest form of dishonour: rape. Not even remotely. It's not like rape is a recent invention, people. (Can someone identify a clause that takes care of this? I'm hoping I'm wrong.)
But take the fact that Article 16(2) is against arranged marriages. I hate them, too, but if you agree that it is good to impress upon other peoples what we deem good (because we were raised that way, not because we would think differently had we been in their place), you also, then, agree that the Declaration is biased. In short, you agree that the Declaration infringes on peoples' rights. Maybe it is a case of upholding the rights of the human above those of the humans (among whom the human is living), which is self-defeating.
A major failing is that the Declaration does not define who a human is. It just states the rights of this human. Now, I know I'll lead the colonial party that will subdue the Martians and bring Mars under servitude of the Crown, and run the Flag up on the red sands of that untamed savage planet. (Rule, Africa! Africa rule the stars!) And I'll enslave all Martians and basically just trample on their Martian rights. They are not humans, are they? No.
Now, did you know that Americans, by being Americans, forsake being humans, and that these rights do not cover them? Well, now you know why I'll throw them all down the lake of sulphuric acid. I hope this had the shocking effect it was meant to have. I hope you realise that human rights couldn't save you, if you fell in the hands of good rights-respecting people who are convinced that humans can't look/act like you.
Article 19: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression [...]," so far so good, "and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers," where it breaks down. You see, it is too general not to contradict itself. Before, these people thought everyone would be preaching their gospel. But now, Azzam.com was struck off this information-wants-to-be-free internet, and nobody can invoke Article 19. Because the Declaration picks a side, in the face of slogans like "Jihad and the rifle alone: no negotiations, no conferences and no dialogues."
If you want to blame the implementors, rather than the specification, tell me if Azzam.com should be allowed back. Sign your name, that we may know you. [1] And then read why it is self-contradictory, in Article 30.
"Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in [things] aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein." As in, you shouldn't interpret any Article, like the one that guarantees freedom to push out information of our liking, to mean that you can infringe upon another Article, say like Article 3 ("right to life"), by stopping the global censoring Azzam.com.
Also, I hate the supremacy that Article 30 assumes. It kind of sets itself up like a sort of final god, and seals everything. Sadly, the seal is contradictory, but you are not allowed to call it that, because you'll be violating it and therefore being anti-rights. It's a blasphemous kind of YHWH, really, for its recursive delusions of grandeur. A blasphemous I am the Alpha and Omega, for its finality.
I've never been told that human rights have a dark side, and I bet you have never, either. And that is largely why we defend (even love) the idea of human rights. We are told that everything we like is guaranteed to us by the human rights, and that everything bad is against them. What we believe in is not the Declaration, but rather a certain (I dare say instinctive) idea. It's not some Western ideal, and what we fight for, when we fight for our rights, is not what the Declaration talks about. We fight for that, um, Thing, that can't be summarised in thirty articles, in less than one hundred sentences.
The Declaration was preceded by other documents like it that spoke of rights, and it was not ground-breaking in any way. Indeed, I prefer earlier (less famous) documents, and some that come after, because they don't have these problems above. They are merely expressions of that Thing within all of us that craves its rights. They don't make broad, cultural-imperialist assumptions.
Declaration of Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World, is like my favourite. 1920. Oozing with spirituality. It's beautiful. The thing even packs a whole hymn for those interested and gifted with a voice. While Westerners have lively blog orgies over Burma and Tibet, citing the Declaration, for example, a 1920 document still holds out an empty bowl at their countries. Nearly one hundred years of pointing out the speck in the other's eye, and not noticing the tree caught in your own?
Then the more-recent Draft United Nations declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples. It's still a draft, but it addresses a more-crucial point than human rights. You see, human rights are not in the danger everybody pretends they are in. It is the way of humanity to steer communities towards more respect for human rights. (Our generations are allowed to think they invented the idea, of course. This may be instinctive, and necessary to keep the passion for rights among humans burning brightly millennium after millennium.) However, indigenous people's rights are, almost by default, threatened. When your land is conquered, part of the conquest is an erosion of your dignity. You know what these British did to us. What the Conquistadors did, too. What the Americans are still doing. Even down here in South Africa. The case of indigenous peoples is definitely more-urgent than any sort of human right. We are talking about existence right, in their case.
I also like the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam, which is basically the answer to the cultural assumptions in the Declaration.
I mean, consider Article 18, which has "[...] this right includes freedom to change his religion [...]". That is flat against the Sharia Law, you see. One who changes from Submission shall be an Apostate, and shall be treated as an Infidel.
So, how to reconcile the freedom to practice Islam (which bids the previous sentence) and the respect of Article 18? Well, create a Sharia-respecting Declaration! And so they did. Besides that, the robust spirit of sensible dissent that is embodied in the Cairo Declaration, I don't much align myself with it. I'm not a mussulman.
(By the way, the British were still slaughtering the Kenyans in warm sputtering fountains of thick, sticky, bubbling blood, when their people were waving this Declaration around. The blood is still invading a child's lungs, rushing out of opened jugulars into severed wind pipes, blocking off the dying call to a dying mother, the scene playing out in the telescopes of the American shooter in the killing fields of the Middle East, while the Americans are calling us to blog about humans rights.
One reason to hate the Declaration is for how much it affects those who ultimately have no effect, and is effectively ignored easily by the people who command the attacks.)
I like some parts of it. Many parts of it. My favourite, though, is Article 25(2). "Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection."
So, this is my entry into the whole blog thingy. I like memes and fads, especially around now. I'm having a dizzying change to my life, and a long, long, half-thought-out post could help with it.
The alternative to a post like this, though, would be a single sentence summarising what I think about blogging about human rights: "It's stupid from the core, and only done by people because they perceive it to be a cool way to identify with something that has near-universal acceptance (and therefore carries no risk of banishment from the cool club) while maintaining the semblance of rebellion and dissent, which are (apparently) cool."
That, frankly, is how I feel about all this human rights stuff, and especially the arm-chair revolutionaries that we are (me included, though I double as a Kalashnikov revolutionary, as well). This idealist outrage is cool, yes, and that's why we do it. It is uncool, to, for example, blog that Jihad websites should be allowed free rein and be linked to in news items, and that America should stop terrorising terrorists and let them go mano-a-mano with their adversary as is the case in a fair fight, and to call for America to stop bullying perceived dictators because (and only because) they don't speak English with a Western accent, and to say the inconvenient truth that the World's environment and continued existence of humans is in more danger from the West than from six thousand bin Ladens, so nobody sets aside a blog day for that.
But try something like press freedom. Everybody gon' jump and express some plastic rage (that they even believe to be authentic).
So, while this fad lingers, I'll check the blogs to see how many people are convinced that African countries have the worst (or even just bad) human rights records. And I'll see how many Americans are looking outside of their country to see the speck. And I'll see how precious few there will be who note that the West is the shocking, unsurpassed worst perpetrator of human rights under the Sun. And I'll see how many have survived the calculated propaganda that is being pumped out of the West about who is, in fact, responsible for all those Bad Things.
Africa is a paragon of human rights, by the way. We uphold them, and not after some crappy piece of paper, but after our own principals that are as African as their names. Ubuntu, for example. Mato put, for another example. Ah, but this kind of thing is not cool, so it would be laughed out of any journal or blog.
You try that, you get a whole load of bulverism thrown your way. Try saying the Burmese are evil, and you get cookies. Say that Africa has the worst human rights record, and you get fifteen minutes on the BBC. Try saying that China should ape the West's models, and you get laid.
And because our human rights codes are not written on some dead tree, they are easier to revise. This Declaration is sixty years old. Not a single revision, and no hope for one. Let's not pretend it was perfect, and on the first attempt. It can get better. But it won't. Bad, bad Declaration. Sit down, Declaration. ("Declaration" is a good name for a dog.)
And I can't get the right not to want to recognise these human rights. I know this paper is not binding, but still. Isn't it my right to flick a digit at this Declaration? Oh, wait, my basic right in the face of this Dictatorship of the Perceived Correct is not guaranteed by the Dictatorship. How can it? It's the nature of dictatorships to quash people like me.
Article 26: "Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages." Provide the bloody money, before you open that trap. And why not beyond the primary? Because the "models" weren't doing it in their countries. Them guys were so out of touch with reality, and this is what happens when you want succumb to the temptation to trust ivory tower idealists to shape the way for a whole fucking planet! Sheesh.
Okay, enough said. I'm feeling better by now.
[1] And when you're done holding up human rights banners for Azzam.com, go get started on campaigning for Maktabah.net (shut down), Waaqiah.com (shut down), Qoqaz.net (changed to route back to your local box IP address), and others. It's unfair for the Mujahideen to be muzzled into total silence, while their enemies get 24/7 access to minds all over the world. Nobody has ever heard their side. If you feel that this conflicts with Article 19, start a blog campaign to end the censoring. What's worse is that these Mujahideen have real grievances that should be addressed before we use the communications upper hand to silence and demonise them, trample on their Article 19 human right, and keep waving the fucking banners for human rights.
You can see the death throes of Azzam.com in its struggle to stay online, at the WayBack Machine.

I'm tired. Of this drain on my spirit everytime I read your blog. I'm giving it a rest. You're probably the most negative person I know. Complain about everything. It's like there's no joy in your life. No sunshine. You're making my life dark. So I'm giving you a rest. No offence, I just feel like I need happiness. Cheers.

See, it's just that I thought everybody is going to be singing the same old verses, and they are the good kinds of things, incidentally. Everybody is going to be saying largely the same things. I wanted to maybe express a different kind of opinion that may have a whiff of truth to it.

@Sybella: Sadly not this time, for once I agree with him, whole heartedly. So enjoy it Comrade, it probably won't happen again for a long time.
"When your land is conquered, part of the conquest is an erosion of your dignity. You know what these British did to us. What the Conquistadors did, too. What the Americans are still doing. Even down here in South Africa." I love it when people do that, they only go a little way back in history, as though just because these things have more coverage in our history books that suddenly they're so much more important than say the Roman conquests? Funny how suddenly the other oppressed, conquered and shamed people never get a mention, even though you went as far back as the Conquistadors. Personally I think we should just kill all Italians for starting this whole conquest thing and be done with it. Take it full circle and close the book.
Now, your stance on Human Rights, can I just tell you how happy I am to see my own thoughts written down! One day my teacher handed me the Declaration of Human Rights and told me to read it...and I was furious! Not only are they contradictory and snobbish but they left out my most favourite right, which apparently isn't a right at all and I think it should be. The Right to Die.
I have a life, apparently I have a right to it and you know what, I also want the right to die whenever I feel like it. It should be my right and it shouldn't have to be messy and painful, I should be able to go into a hospital and say "Right, I've had fun but I'm tired now, I'd like my death now" and it's there waiting for me in the form of a nice sleeping gas or pill or something!
Why is there no right for me to do that?
FIX IT! And also fix the others, most of them are fucking annoying!

During an interview with CNBC, Warren Buffett spoke about a subject that's near and dear to Jim Cramer's heart.
That is, using natural gas as a fuel for surface vehicles.
"Buffett's Berkshire-Hathaway owns a railroad, Burlington Northern, and he started off talking about natural gas powered trains," Cramer said. "Buffett is telling us that Berkshire is spending real money on nat gas fueled locomotives—that's a big deal."
It's an idea that Jim Cramer has been advocating for quite some time.
"It's as if he's fully endorsing the idea that I've been pushing for ages. He agrees that natural gas is so abundant in this country and so darned inexpensive, it would be nuts not to at least think about converting your vehicles to run on this cheaper, cleaner fuel," Cramer said
"When Warren Buffett speaks, we listen. When he says this transition is real, we take him seriously."
And that begs the question - how do you play it, now?
Although your knee jerk reaction might be to buy Westport Innovations, the company that makes natural gas powered locomotive engines, or Clean Energy, the natural gas fueling station company, Cramer doesn't think they are the best bets.
Long-term both may have potential but, "Those plays have some short-term issues and I don't necessarily want to own their stocks right here."

Game Plan: What's On Cramer's Radar?
Home Depot or Lowe's - The Better Recovery Play?
5 Dow Dynamos Should Drive Dow Further
Instead, Cramer's play is Chart Industries. (TICKER: GTLS).
"They make precision-engineered cryogenic equipment, which is used to convert natural gas into liquefied natural gas," Cramer explained. "Chart also sells the storage tanks needed to transport liquefied natural gas, and the engine tanks that hold LNG for heavy-duty truck that run on the stuff."
And it's not just a domestic play - the company can also benefit from its exposure to China.
"China is dramatically ratcheting up its use of natural gas, and they're even building out infrastructure to start replacing diesel with nat gas as a transportation fuel," he said. That has the potential to be big.
Now the company is not a pure play – and that's exactly what Cramer likes about it.
"The company has a host of other non-natural gas related businesses as well," Cramer explained. "Chart uses its freezing expertise to deal with industrial gases, and they have a biomedical division where they make liquid oxygen therapy systems," he said.
In other words, because Chart Industries can generate profits from a range of different scenarios, Cramer prefers it over rivals.
"When I look to trade a trend in its infancy, Cramer explained, "I prefer a company like Chart Industries." That is, one which provides exposure to the new theme while still providing the relative security of more established operations.

The black clipping pattern is hard for me to discern on my Pio 101-FD.
So, 1% window should be visible against the background?
Any of you guys out there with a blue mode ever tested your blue filter againts it? Was the blue filter reliable in comparison?
People with an accurate meter are a much different group than those that have to settle on blue screens and blue filters.
Here is a Version 2 disc that uses true AVCHD authoring. The decompressed download can be burned to DVD media, and it should play in any AVCHD compatible Blu-ray player, including Panasonic models. The mirror files will follow once the documentation is updated to reflect the Version 2b changes. Currently this is expected to be the final AVCHD release, but anyone that has questions may wish to wait until everything has been documented.
AVCHD (.exe) or AVCHD (.7z)
Iso MD5: 6414c7e25c8e0d4ba2ed1a0b61802f4c
AVCHD authoring software simply does not offer the same features as the Blu-ray authoring software. If you have access to a Blu-ray burner, the Version 2 HDMV would still be the recommended version. The following are the differences for the AVCHD compared to the HDMV/DVDM/PATCHED:
- No popup menus for navigation
- No option to select chapter 2 from CalMAN menus
- Does not include top navigation on menus
- 5-Step CalMAN APL Series was removed to remain at single-layer DVD size
- Misc. Patterns Sections F-L are not included

Practicing the PreachPosted in Workaholics Anonymous on August 25th, 2009 by Darren Hardy –
I always find it incredibly ironic and a bit comical when I see a fat fitness instructor, or a financial advisor who drives a Yugo, or a realtor who doesn't own a house.
Warren Buffet once said, "Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls-Royce to get advice from those who take the subway."
A great piece of wisdom is: don't listen to what people say; watch what they do and who they are. People display their values and philosophy through their actions and behaviors, not their words.
To that end I am practicing Step 11 of the Workaholics Anonymous program this week. Give that step a review, it's a good one: http://darrenhardy.success.com/2009/05/wa-step11/
Ciao for now!

Serves 6
Strawberries, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar are one of the dessert world's perfect combinations. Each element echoes the others and the sweet-sour-savory dynamic is irresistible. Your balsamic vinegar should be decent, but not artisanal, quality.
In a large frying pan, combine the vinegar and sugar over medium heat, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring, until syrupy, about 1 minute or so once it's come to a simmer. Watch out for the vinegar fumes, which can be startlingly potent! Add the berries and simmer, stirring gently, until they start to collapse and the juices are running but the berries have not turned to mush, 6 to 8 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and gently stir in the vanilla and salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning. You want a balance that is fruity and sweet, with just an intriguing edge of vinegar. Chill until cold.
Have ready six parfait glasses or wineglasses.
Set aside about 1/2 cup of the sauce. Scrape the remaining sauce into a food processor and pulse until the berries are crushed. (I like to leave some texture to the berries, but you can pulse until smooth, too.)
In a large bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat together the cream, goat cheese, sugar, and salt on medium-low speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Increase the speed to high and beat until firm peaks form when the beaters are lifted (don't forget to stop the mixer before lifting), about 2 minutes. Add the reserved sauce and the processed sauce and, using a rubber spatula, fold just until blended. (The mixture can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day before continuing.)
Spoon about 3-1/2 Tbs. of the cream mixture into each glass. Top with about 3 Tbs. of the cookie crumbs. Spread about 3-1/2 Tbs. of the cream mixture over the cookie crumbs in each glass. Top with the remaining crumbs and then with the remaining cream mixture.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 3 hours (the cookie crumbs will soften a bit). Top with the strawberry halves just before serving.
The sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
The sauce can be folded together with the goat cheese-cream mixture 1 day ahead, and refrigerated, covered.

7/30/2013Words cannot describe how good this recipe is. I've made it several times for different people, and it's always a hit. I use twice as much cream as recommended because there is a lot of extra sauce. The only down side is that it turns a weird shade of brown when the sauce and cream are mixed together, but once you taste it, the color no longer matters.

I did not want a pick guard on my tele that I did one of my custom fluid acrylic pour finishes on (this is not a "swirl"). Excellent quality on this little mounting ring. Perfect fit.
Very high quality gives a unique look to a "Tele" style build. I will use these again. 2 builds with these & very happy with the look.
I have ordered some of these metal mounting rings. The chrome rings was excellent quality, but some of the black ones had bad coating surface. The fit was fine. Freddie
This was just what I needed for my natural finish Telecaster with mini humbuckers. Why hide the wood under a pick guard when you can make one out of plexi and use this Chrome ring? 5 Stars. Thanks Stewmac.
I ordered them for a rear routed Strat build. The pickups do fit tight, but they do fit, and it's not so tight that it makes them hard to adjust after the install. Everything lined up perfectly.
They also give the guitar a nice clean finished look.
In my opinion a must for a rear routed strat, I'll buy them every time I build in the future.
Works great. Make pickup height changes on single coild Pickup that much easier.
these are alittle spendy but the make the guitar look awesome.
When you want shiny, these are perfect. High quality, and a perfect (I mean PERFECT) fit to the standard single-coil size. Almost need some soap to get them on...
I ordered this ring (1570) for a custom Firebird/Tele build. I am very pleased, the piece is solid and the chrome is excellent. The fit is also excellent.
The rings work and look perfect

Top 3 Surprises About Acupuncture
By Sara Calabro
As someone who's an acupuncturist, who runs a website about acupuncture and talks to other acupuncturists on a daily basis, it's easy to become convinced that everyone is an educated acupuncture junkie. But lately, I've been reminded that this is not the case.
In recent months, I've found myself having more frequent conversations with people who have never had acupuncture. It's been a great reminder of how foreign acupuncture—the experience of getting a treatment as well as the underlying theory—still is to the majority of Westerners.
Myths and misconceptions about acupuncture are rampant in a society whose medical culture is dominated by pharmaceuticals, surgeries, and other quick-fix interventions. In my recent encounters with the uninitiated, three themes come up again and again.
Here are the top three things that surprise people about acupuncture. Keep reading
