V'sham itanu na'ar Ivri eved l'sar ha'tabachim (41:12)
Rashi writes that even when he was forced to mention Yosef's remarkable ability to interpret dreams, the evil cupbearer attempted to disparage him by referring to him as a young and foolish person who didn't know the Egyptian language and who was unfit for a position of power because he had once been a slave. What did the cupbearer hope to accomplish with his slander, as moments later Yosef appeared and immediately stole the spotlight, amazing Pharaoh with his talents and wisdom in interpreting the dream and recommending a prudent course of action to deal with its implications?
Rav Pesach Eliyahu Falk explains that nevertheless, the cupbearer was well aware of the maxim that "you never get a second chance to make a first impression." In his wickedness, he decided to make Yosef's first impression for him. The cupbearer was hoping that by making it an extremely negative one, Pharaoh would view Yosef and everything that he said through that lens, thereby depriving Yosef of a fair chance to demonstrate his true talents.
From the actions and motivation of the cupbearer, we may derive the potent power of lashon hara (forbidden slander). If it is believed and accepted as fact, it renders it virtually impossible for the victim to subsequently prove himself and uproot the maliciously-planted first impressions. Human nature is such that upon recognizing the discrepancy between what we were told and what we later see in reality, we will sooner resolve the contradiction by assuming that the person is temporarily on guard and masking his true ways rather than question the accuracy of our erroneous and premature first impressions. As a result, it behooves us to extend a clean slate to every person we encounter and to greet them with open minds.
V'ata yareh Paroh ish navon v'chacham vi'shiseihu al eretz Mitzrayim (41:33)
After Yosef was freed from prison to interpret Pharaoh's dreams, he explained that they foretold seven years of abundance to be followed by seven years of famine. Therefore, he recommended the appointment of a wise advisor to oversee the project of storing for the famine during the years of plenty. Upon hearing this proposal, Pharaoh responded that there was nobody more fitting for the role than Yosef himself, who demonstrated great insight by suggesting this idea.
As Pharaoh had only requested Yosef to interpret his dreams, why did he offer advice on how best to deal with the ramifications of his interpretation of the dreams, something which wasn't at all requested of him? Further, why was Pharaoh not only not upset that Yosef had overstepped his mandate, but he became so impressed with him that he appointed him to oversee the new project?
The Vilna Gaon answers with a brilliant explanation. A person who is told that his dream refers to events in the distant future has no reason to believe the interpretation, as there is no way to test its accuracy. In fact, an interpreter who doubts his abilities would be wise to offer such an explanation so that there is no way for him to be proved wrong and his reputation ruined.
Yosef, on the other hand, told Pharaoh that his dream referred to the immediate onset of seven years of plenty, which would directly be followed by seven years of famine. Logically, Pharaoh should have believed Yosef's explanation, for he would be foolish to make up an interpretation which would promptly be proven incorrect.
Still, even when the years of plenty began, Pharaoh didn't necessarily have to be convinced of Yosef's wisdom. He could have insisted on waiting for seven years to see whether the famine would begin as Yosef had predicted, or even for 14 years to see if the famine would end as he had forecasted. Hashem recognized the danger of such a potential reaction, as in that case Pharaoh wouldn't trust Yosef sufficiently to appoint him to oversee the project from the very beginning.
As a result, the Medrash says that Hashem caused Pharaoh to forget part of his dream, specifically the part in which Yosef's recommendation to appoint a wise man to oversee the storage project was actually spelled out explicitly. Upon hearing that Yosef not only offered a plausible and verifiable interpretation of his dream but also refreshed his memory about a portion of the dream which even he had forgotten, Pharaoh exclaimed (41:39) acharei hodia Elokim es kol zos ein navon v'chacham kamocha, which can be understood to mean that after Hashem has informed you of all of this, including the part of the dream which I myself forgot, surely there is nobody wiser than you in the entire kingdom.
Im keinim atem achichem echad yei'aser b'veis mishmarchem (42:19)
In order to force his brothers to return with his beloved younger brother Binyomin, Yosef put one of them in jail and threatened that his freedom would be dependent upon their returning with Binyomin. Although Yosef's desire to be reunited with Binyomin was certainly understandable, it is difficult to understand why it was necessary to incarcerate one of the other brothers in order to bring this about. Since Yosef knew that the famine would continue for many years, wouldn't it have sufficed to inform them that they wouldn't be able to make any further grain purchases unless they return with Binyomin, which would force them to do so?
The Panim Yafos answers that had Yosef done so, the brothers would have been able to hire a random person off the street to escort them to Egypt and claim to be Binyomin. Since they didn't realize that the person they were speaking to was Yosef, there would be no reason for them to think that he would be able to tell the difference, and for him to call them on their deception would require him to reveal his true identity.
Therefore, Yosef implemented an ingenious plan. He imprisoned Shimon and forced him to remain behind in Egypt. Were the brothers to return with anybody but the real Binyomin, Yosef would be able to line up a number of men, including the man they claimed was Binyomin. Were they to return with an impostor, Shimon wouldn't be able to pick out the stranger from the lineup and their ruse would be discovered. As a result, the brothers had no choice but to return with the true Binyomin, who Shimon would be able to recognize, and whom Yosef would finally be able to able to lay his eyes on.
Vayechapeis ba'gadol heicheil uva'katan kilah (44:12)
After overtaking the brothers and accusing them of stealing Yosef's goblet, the Torah relates that Menashe searched their bags, from the oldest to the youngest. The simple understanding would be that he began with Reuven, who was the oldest, and continued looking in each one's bag in reverse chronological order until he reached Binyomin, who was the youngest. This is indeed the explanation given by the Targum Yonason ben Uziel. The Medrash, however, understands that when Menashe looked in the bag of the oldest, it wasn't that of Reuven but rather of Shimon. This is difficult to understand, as Reuven was present and was clearly the oldest of the brothers.
The Maharil Diskin answers with a brilliant insight: when Menashe accused them of stealing the goblet, they didn't simply deny it, but they also added a logical defense. Pointing out that they had traveled so far to give back the money which was accidentally returned to them on their previous trip, they questioned how such honest people could possibly be suspected of stealing.
Menashe accepted this argument, but pointed out that it was only applicable to the nine brothers who had done so. However, Binyomin wasn't with them on the previous trip and hadn't proved himself by returning the money, nor had Shimon, who had been imprisoned in Egypt all this time. Therefore, theirs were the only two bags that Menashe actually checked. Hence, the Medrash interprets that the oldest with which he began was Shimon, and from there he went straight to the youngest, Binyomin.

Parsha Points to Ponder (and sources which discuss them):
1) There are numerous discrepancies between the actual dream of Pharaoh and the way in which he related it to Yosef. For example, in his dream he saw himself actually standing on the river, while in telling it to Yosef he claimed to have been standing on the banks of the river (41:17). Why did he change this detail when recounting his dream to Yosef? (Rabbeinu Bechaye, Imrei Daas)
2) What is permissible on Shabbos and Yom Tov, but forbidden on Chanukah? (Rambam Hilchos Nedorim 3:9)
3) In the song "Maoz Tzur," we sing regarding Haman rov banav v'kinyanav al ha'eitz talisa – the majority of his sons and possessions You hung on the tree. Since the Pirkei D'Rebbi Eliezer (49) teaches that Haman had 40 sons and only 10 of them were hung with him, in what way were the majority of his sons hanged? (Seder Hadlakos Neiros Chanukah by Rav Yehuda Aryeh Dunner pg. 20-21)
4) The Gemora in Shabbos (21b) teaches that the primary obligation on Chanuka is to light one flame on each night, but the mehadrin min hamehadrin – most preferred – level is to light an additional flame on each successive night for each member of the household. If a person lit one flame and realized that he forgot to say the blessings, may he still say the blessings before lighting the additional flames, or is it too late to do so because he has already fulfilled his basic obligation? (Shu"t Rav Akiva Eiger 2:13, K'Motzei Shalal Rav Chanuka pg. 240-1)

SANTA FE, N.M. — Second Judicial District Chief Judge Ted C. Baca told colleagues on the bench Thursday that he will retire from the judiciary at the end of June.
Baca has been a judge since 1998, when he ran in a general election against Republican Paul Barber, and has been chief judge since July 2009.
"I just think it's time to try to enjoy other activities – legal or not," he said. Quickly realizing that the statement might be taken either way, he laughed and added, "Not illegal activities."
His retirement, like others before him, is almost certain to bring rearrangements in the court as judges transfer to other divisions of the court.
Judge Reed Sheppard of the juvenile court division also recently announced his retirement plans. Baca was presiding judge in the civil division before becoming chief, during which he has faced some tough times as the judiciary took budget hits that required furloughs and other painful choices to avoid layoffs.
In evaluations conducted by the New Mexico Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission, Baca has received positive ratings for courtesy, control over proceedings, prompt scheduling and fairness.
Survey results found he is knowledgeable in substantive areas of law and brings enthusiasm to his post.
He was in private practice for 22 years before becoming a judge. He has served on the county Labor Relations Board, as a child support hearing officer, county attorney, legislative analyst and settlement facilitator.
He earned a bachelor of science degree from the University of New Mexico and his law degree from the UNM School of Law.

The white supremacists that populate Blood in the Face, a bracing, entertaining documentary about the far tip of the right wing, work hard to mass assassinate the characters of other ethnic groups. Jews, of course, are power hungry and corrupt. Hispanics reproduce mindlessly. Blacks, or "mud people" are subhuman brutes. As for Aryans? Well, says one man, "We're just trying to show people that we're smarter and that, uh, we deserve a break." Eloquently expressed. But when Blood in the Face grants them that opportunity, the Aryan minions squander it.
With the exception of their earliest film appearance - the hotly contested glory-to-the-Klan scenes in D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation - radical-right groups have typically been played for laughs (the Illinois Nazis in The Blues Brothers) or for horror (Costa-Gavras's Betrayal, Oliver Stone's Talk Radio). Blood in the Face is refreshingly free of such reduction, and all the more disconcerting for it. Planned by James Ridgeway, a correspondent for the Village Voice and the author of a book on Aryan supremacy groups, and co-directed by Ridgeway and filmmakers Anne Bohlen (who worked on Roger & Me) and Kevin Rafferty (The Atomic Cafe), the film approaches the topic with few preconceptions. The filmmakers seem to have merely driven out to Klan rallies and American Nazi Party conventions, set up their cameras and boom mikes, and asked the organizations' members to explain themselves.
And explain themselves they do. White supremacist thinking seems founded on a logically bankrupt mix of majority entitlement and minority rage, the fear that the "rightful" white heirs to the world's political and economic resources are being squeezed out by pesky, racially diverse interlopers. Appalled by the intrusion, supremacist groups seek to protect their right to interact only with whites, as well as to perpetuate the pure white culture (Liberace, maybe? Wonder Bread?). But that's not all. They also want the right to use violence to accomplish their objectives. Asked what he hopes to be doing in the service of the Aryan cause, a young (armed) man replies hopefully, "Smashing skulls of communists, executing race traitors, shooting on sight anyone we don't think is white." It's purity, no compromise, and it makes me proud to be a few shades shy of lily.
As troubling and reprehensible as such blind malevolence is, there's also a great deal of black comedy, not in the package of beliefs so much as the delivery. How can you keep from chuckling derisively at a subculture in which a man decked out in traditional Scottish garb politely requests that cars be reparked to clear the alternate cross-burning field? Through the Klan weddings and rally announcements (delivered by a megaphone-enhanced announcer who sounds eerily like Woodstock farmer Max Yasgur), the absurdity mounts. Jerry Falwell is considered a Jew because he supports the existence of Israel. The future of the nation might lie in a plan to divide North America racially, leaving the southeast for blacks, the southwest for Hispanics, and opening up a footprint-shape white paradise in the Pacific Northwest. And what of the toothless old man who explains that of all those who claim humanity, only those white enough to blush have valid membership? (This "blood in the face" litmus test for racial purity gives the film its title.)
Far from limiting itself to bilious perimeter kooks, Blood in the Face is equally concerned with fascist figures who develop a mainstream political voice. Some central characters emerge, including influential Michigan hate-pastor Bob Miles ("Since we're all racists, and that's a crime in America," he tells an assembly, "if you have to do the time, don't regret the crime") and David Duke, the Louisiana state representative-senatorial hopeful-erstwhile Klansman. But the most fascinating is George Lincoln Rockwell, the founder of the American Nazi Party. Dead since 1967, when a Nazi disciple shot him in an Arlington, Virginia, Laundromat, Rockwell establishes his presence through archival footage. Pulling on his pipe like a paragon of warmth-and-hearth fatherhood (George Norman Rockwell, anyone?), speaking calmly and articulately, the former adman likens Hitler to Christ and himself to St. Paul while delivering zingers such as "I'd rather gas queers than anyone else" and "Compared to the aborigine in Africa who just ate his own grandmother, I'm Superman."
Compared to the super-slick politicos, the other right-makes-right adherents come off like escapees from the Nazi Clown Academy, and their hate so transparently proceeds from their own lack of self-esteem that they are ruefully laughable. A wizened old man in a peaked sorcerer's hat yammers on about how black men can't this and black men can't that. His harangue is deadly dull (or maybe I was just transfixed by his hat, which makes him look like the Cookie Crisp wizard) until an off-camera voice asks him where he grew up. "In an orphan's home," he answers, his eyes sliding sideways as if he's surveying escape routes. Another subject admits that she has never had any bad experiences with other racial groups and learned to hate "through studying and reading."

That's the greatest accomplishment of Blood in the Face, that it strips away the layers of monster myth and exposes these hatemongers as frustrated, weak-willed losers who feel compelled to don uniforms for power and chase scapegoats to deflect the pain of failure. That isn't to say they're harmless - the husband of one unassuming woman, for instance, is serving a jail term for the execution-style murder of radio-talk-show host Alan Berg, the real-life incident that partially inspired Talk Radio. But after hearing "the ethnic threat" invoked a half-dozen times, you'll start to realize how much of the hate is based on pocketbook envy. Bob Miles, perhaps the most intelligent (and consequently, the most dangerous) representative of the right, says that most of the new Klan recruits in Michigan came from the faltering auto industry, and predicts that the failing economy will cough up many more candidates in years to come. It's enough to make you blush.

In their decision the committee noted, " the COMP delivered for a first time ever a positive opinion on orphan designation for the treatment for Leigh syndrome, for which no authorized treatments exist in the EU. This syndrome is a very rare and severe disease caused by mutations in mitochondrial respiratory enzymes, leading mainly to neurological deficits and a poor survival for these patients."
Under Expanded Access in the United States, Edison has studied EPI-743 in 80 subjects with mitochondrial disease. Of those subjects treated in the Expanded Access program, 23 had been diagnosed with Leigh syndrome. Favorable data obtained from the treatment of these children, as well as those treated in Europe under both compassionate use and a phase 2A study, formed the basis of the company's COMP orphan designation application.
Results of a recently completed phase 2A study entitled "Prospective Open Label Study of EPI-743 in Children with Leigh Syndrome (Subacute Necrotizing Encephalomyelopathy)" will be announced soon.

I've often wondered about this .... In home invasion instances, and other times a gun is used for defence (Not offense like LEOs storming a crack house or drug dealers, or Army Urban combat here), has there ever been a need to 'reload'? It is hard for me to image, that a gang of 4-20 guys would be be storming your house that would require so much fire-power. I hear of guys packing 17 rounds (now 7 in NY... probably soon to be 5 and then 1) as primary and others as backup, and having 'several' magazines ready to go.... Sounds like a war zone scenario to me. Of course maybe you 'need' that many with 9mm to do any damage
..... In the instance just above there was only one intruder.

Toyota Le Mans racer Anthony Davidson has a broken back after his violent crash in the Le Mans 24 Hours.
Davidson's Toyota TS030 Hybrid tagged a Ferrari car he was lapping and flipped in mid-air before careering into heavily into a barrier, Britain's Daily Mail reported.
According to initial reports, the 33-year-old ex-Formula One driver escaped serious injury and he was reportedly able to climb from the wreckage of his car, and was walking and talking normally.
However, he reported back pain to the medical crews on the scene and took him to hospital, where checks revealed the full extent of his injuries.
It was there that Davidson wrote on Twitter.
Well that was a big one! Lying in a French hospital with a broken back wasn't what I had in mind at this stage in the race... — Anthony Davidson (@antdavidson) June 16, 2012
Davidson confirmed to autosport.com that he had breaks to his T11 and T12 vertebrae and will remain in hospital until at least Monday.
Davidson is, however, likely to spend months out of racing recovering, according to Australia's Fairfax media.
The AF Corse Ferrari that Davidson clipped also hit the barriers and overturned, but Italian driver Piergiuseppe Perazzini was able to extricate himself, according to Reuters.
Le Mans, whose circuit features a mix of closed public roads and specialist motor racing test track, is the world's oldest sports car endurance race, held annually since 1923 near the French town of Le Mans.

Two new reports on the cost of changing how construction activity is taxed could torpedo the sales tax simplification plan being pushed by Gov. Jan Brewer.
One study by legislative budget staffers say what Brewer wants could slash state revenues by $137 million a year. That alone could give lawmakers reason for pause.
But that's not all.
Another report by the Grand Canyon Institute concludes that if Brewer gets the changes she wants it would leave the state's more than 90 cities with $10 million less overall.
The reports come as the governor's staff is trying to line up votes for Brewer's broader plan to simplify how sales taxes and collected and audited.
Brewer wants to limit the ability of cities to tax items and services beyond what the state itself taxes. And it would ensure businesses that they are subject to only a single audit of their books versus the current situation that allows a review by not only the state but every city in which they do business.
Potentially more significant, Congress is considering the Marketplace Fairness Act, a measure to allow states to impose their sales taxes on Internet merchants. But the federal legislation makes that ability contingent on states having a simplified sales tax system, the kind of system Brewer is pushing here.
Local businesses are making that change a priority.
On Thursday, Michelle Ahlmer, executive director of the Arizona Retailers Association, urged the state's two U.S. senators to back that law.
"The status quo provides out-of-state online sellers with an unfair competitive advantage over traditional brick and mortar stores and robs state and local governments of vital revenues needed to maintain important services, including funding schools,'' she wrote.
Michael Hunter, the governor's chief tax adviser, said that simplification remains Brewer's top priority. And given that importance, he said if questions about changing the tax on contracting taxes cannot be resolved, that issue might have to be jettisoned to salvage the rest of the simplification plan.
Under current Arizona law, contracting is taxed at the point of construction.
In essence, builders determine the price of the project and then pay tax on 65 percent of that figure, what is presumed to be the cost of materials. Labor is not subject to tax.
What Brewer wants is to have taxes paid by builders when the purchase the materials. The contention is that will result in less "leakage,'' where contractors buy supplies without paying taxes and then use them in projects where the taxes are not captured.
Hans Olofsson, chief economist for the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, said Brewer's plan is built on an assumption that this "leakage'' -- essentially a noncompliance rate -- is 31 percent. He said if that and other assumptions made by the administration are true, the change would boost state revenues by $19 million.
But Olofsson said he and his staff question that 31 percent figure.
"Given that the largest contracts are typically audited in some fashion, there are reasonable questions as to whether Arizona's 'underground' contracting economy is that large,'' he wrote in a memo.
Using a 20 percent noncompliance rate and some other different assumptions than the governor, Olofsson said the loss could be $137 million.
Hunter pointed out that even Olofsson's analysis says the approaches are "speculative'' and that both sets of assumptions are "plausible.'' And Hunter said there have been estimates that put the noncompliance rate as high as 41 percent.
But Olofsson's more dire revenue prediction, based on that 20 percent noncompliance, got a boost Thursday with a separate analysis of the change prepared by the Grand Canyon Institute. It puts the net negative effect on state revenues at $125 million.
Dave Wells, the institute's research director, cited projections showing that the state's revenues are expected to remain relatively unchanged, at about $9 billion, for the next few years.
"There are serious question whether the state can afford this kind of lost revenue, especially as one considers the possibility of another economic slowdown before the end of the decade,'' he wrote.
Any change that reduces state tax revenues is going to get a hard look from lawmakers.
But gubernatorial Matthew Benson said there are "flaws'' in the Grand Canyon study.
Then there's the separate question of the financial hit to cities, many of which have their own local sales taxes on construction.
The current system ensures that if something is built in the community, that city gets the revenues. But if the tax is levied when and where supplies are purchased, the dollars flow to where that store is located.
It also is not a zero-sum gain, as the change in methodology -- going from a percentage of total construction price to simply a sales tax on materials themselves -- could also mean less overall dollars.
Hunter said those objections could be resolved -- if lawmakers allow cities to replace the contracting tax with something else.
State revenue questions aside, several legislators have made it clear they are not interested in pursuing any change in the law unless the cities' concerns can be satisfied. And that could force eliminating the change in contracting taxes from the plan to clear the way for the simplification.

It's difficult to tell how your baby will react to high altitudes. Some babies handle plane trips and high-altitude destinations with no problems at all. Some have mild ear-pressure related discomfort. About 25 percent will experience will experience altitude sickness, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. The key to getting your baby to sleep under these conditions is to keep him comfortable and try to regulate the pressure in his ears.
EWG's Worst Sunscreens for Babies and Kids

What Is the Normal Body Temperature for an Infant?
If your baby coughs and sneezes, he may have a cold. If your baby feels warm to touch, he could have a fever. Or does he? This article provides general guidelines about normal baby temperature ranges, potential causes of a fever, how to take a baby's temperature and steps to take if your baby has a fever.
Infant Formula Allergies
The best way to avoid infant formula allergies is to breastfeed your baby. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the World Health Organization, the American Medical Association and the American Dietetic Association all agree that breast milk is the best food for your baby. If you cannot or choose not to breastfeed, however, formula is better to use than cow's milk because it contains the nutrients that most infants need. A baby is more likely to be allergic to formula than to breast milk. Know what to look for and what to do if your baby is allergic.
My Baby Is Not Getting My Husband's Last Name
If the parents of a baby don't share the same last name, why should the baby automatically receive the father's last name? It's old school and annoying: my baby will be getting my name. Period.

ISO Sturdy Rack
I couldn't find a recent, relevant thread about this, so here goes:
I need to replace the rear rack on my touring bike and I am looking for advice/recommendations. The bike came with a stock mystery metal rack that worked well enough for the first year, but I managed to destroy the mounting hardware completely by loading it up to and beyond the recommended limit (I think it was rated in the neighborhood of 20 kg).
So, where can I find the best deal? I'd like a rack that will hold upwards of 50 lbs and last for the lifetime of the bike, but I'm also hoping to pay less than three figures for it. So far, I'm thinking the Topeak supertourist with sidebar, but I'd appreciate some recommendations.
I have a Surly rack on my Redline that comes well recommended. Colin and Steph, care to weigh in? You know more about it than I do.
I haven't tried anything heavy, but it's built like an anvil, and accommodated anything I've hooked to it, from a pannier to a kayak paddle to a high chair.
What I'd want in a rear rack is a separate bar for the pannier top clips – just like what your Topeak Supertourist w/SideBar has. The top deck for the trunk bag, and then the additional side bars for the panniers.
I have an Expedition Rack from Jandd, and it's promise is preventing pannier heel strikes for the big-footed (euro47) by moving everything further back than normal. It's solid and sturdy, and moves the panniers and load well aft, but boy I wish it had that additional bar to side-mount the panniers.
Jay – I have that rack and I love it, especially if you have MTX bags I'd probably get it. It's not often I use both but it's nice to have that option. I didn't weigh all the crap I took with me on the GAPCANDO but it was no problem (there's another equally stuffed pannier on the other side):
I'm guessing Stu is referring to the Surly "Nice Rack" (apparently they've now dropped the "nice" but the rack looks the same). It has a higher capacity than the Topeak rack (80lb vs 55)… it's also a pound heavier and $100 more expensive, but definitely "sturdy".
V – I wear a 46 and had heel strike problems (especially on my crosscheck), which is part of why I went with the MTX bags initially. But, the mounts on the Ortliebs I have (Bike Packer Plus, I know they have a few different mounting systems) allow them to slide way back and it's never been an issue with those. I was able to move them up some when I got the Trucker, and they can probably move even further forward.
Derailing the thread another notch, I cannot recommend that Ortlieb handlebar bag enough. That was a last minute purchase from Thick on a whim, but I can't imagine what I would have done without it – it was so useful for snacks, maps, wallet, camera, etc. The only issue (which you can see) is it blocks the light. But, it comes with a shoulder strap so at least I was able to remove it and be able to see in the tunnels (that worked way better than my first plan of "hold the light in my hand").
I've used the super-tourist and it's a good rack. I found the fit of the Bontrager BackRack Delux to be slightly better. It comes with the double bars, in silver or black, and two sizes. The "S" model shifts the pannier back a bit further away from the heel for use with smaller frames.
L model on 54cm frame with long chain-stays (450cm)
It's essentially a Tubus Logo knock-off in large diameter aluminum.
I had the VO Campeur on my old Bianchi…really liked that rack. Solid as a rock, and, for those of us who get pathologically annoyed by rattling components, permits fenders to be bolted firmly to it as well.
Yep. VO Campeur is as solid as a rock. Never even a hint of a rattle. I don't know what the upper weight limits are for it though.
I hate to say it, but if you want something that will handle 50#+ and last as long as a bike it's going to have to be one of the pricier options be it the VO, the Tubus, or OldManMountain.
Jacob McCrea
Just as an aside, regarding the Old Man Mountain racks, I'm pretty sure that the gentleman who builds them, Channing Hammond, also designed the body on his father Seth Hammond's no. 77 "lakester"-style land speed car. I also recall that the father, son, mother and daughter are all 300-mile per hour club members from driving the car at the Bonneville Salt Flats. I'd have to assume that those bike racks are well-designed.
Thanks for all the advice. After some shopping around I settled on a rack from Portland Design Works. It seemed like a nice balance between price, load capacity, and design aesthetics.
The rack is installed on my steel horse and will be subjected to the same abuse that killed my last rack shortly…

With notes of less value than a crotchet (quarter note) it is
easier to read
the beat value when the notes are joined with a line called a BEAM.The beam can join two or
more notes together, we will take a look at some
examples written where notes are beamed..
When joining small valued notes like quaver (eighth notes) and
semiquaver (sixteenth notes), the notes are joined at the tip of the stem,
with one beamed line for the quaver (eighth notes)
and two beamed lines for the semiquaver (sixteenth notes).
The beam replaces the tail / flag.
Here is another example of 2/4 time signature, using four quaver
(eighth notes) in one bar.
Looking at these two examples you can see how easier it is to read the beat
count in example 2. With the quaver (eighth notes) beamed together.

Joining semiquavers (sixteenth notes) with quaver (eighth notes).
You can also join together the quaver (eighth note) along with two
semiquavers (sixteenth notes)
See the example below, in bar two. Beamed notes.
The notes look much easier to count when written as the second example.
To write the notes like this, first draw three crotchet ( quarter notes) then place the
the first beam across all three notes, now add a second beam across the 2nd and 3rd
notes, this second beam turns the notes into semiquavers (sixteenth notes.)
What if the quaver (eighth note) comes in the middle like this:
First draw three crotchet (quarter notes) now add one line across all three notes
like this: they now become beamed quaver (eighth notes)
Now place a short line on the inside of the note, slightly below the main line,
then do the same on the third note.
Each short line is drawn toward the middle note, but do take care not to
let your line touch the middle note stem.

In place of writing the word 'and'we normally use a plus +
signto replace the word,
the count would then be written like this, with the quavers (eighth notes) beamed.
When counting small value notes, always say the number before the +you will
see some example of this in the bars below, look carefully at the
counting, it is important.
Count 1.......... 2........ +......... 1....... 2.... +....... 1...... +........ 2..... +
.........1....... 2
In the second barthe dot belonging to the crotchet (quarter Note) takes the
first half
of the second beat, the quaver rest (eighth rest) gets the other half.
Count.... 1....... 2...... 3.......... 1..... +...... 2....... 3...... 1..... +... 2....
+...... 3....... 1.... 2.... 3
To help you get a good feel for the different type of beats, it will help if you clap
out these rhythms, counting the beats out aloud.
Notice in the last bar, the minim (half note) gets the first two beats, beat three is
silent because it is a rest.
Count 1...2.. 3.. +.... 4.... +...... 1..... 2..... +... 3..... +...... 4........ 1....
2.... 3..... 4....... 1... 2... 3... 4
We have a very important point to mention in this rhythm, one which
is most important you remember.
In bar 1.the four quavers (eighth notes belong to the last half of the bar,
covering beat 3 and beat 4.it is correct to join all these four notes with a
However, when we look at bar 2.The quaver ( eighth notes) are in the
middle of the bar,
therefore, it is NOTcorrect to beam across the four notes, in
this case
the notes may only be joined together in two's.
When grouping notes with beams in 2 over 4 time,
the examples above are correct.
The above are correct for grouping of notes
with beams in 3 over 4 time signature.
I'm sure you can see which one of these looks good. Always take care with your
note groupings, most importantly write neatly, use a ruler to keep your lines straight.

i guess I need some reassurance that im not messing this homeschool thing up. =)
we do math regularly. M, T, F always, and sometimes on the weekend or W or Thurs. Wednesdays are Classical Conversation day and Thursday is 1000 activities day, all in different directions.
DD (8 yrs) does violin lessons once a week, ballet, gymnastics, scouts & a religious ed class at church. Oh, and speech therapy 3x a week.
My younger child (who I feel like I have sorta ignored...) does religious ed class, and a pre school music class.
We read as a family every night. I have been substituting this for a formal English curriculum since about week 2 of homeschooling. My dd had a bad experience with the public schools English curriculum last year and was fighting any language arts study... so I took it bare bones and decided to try to build up a love of reading, and then take it from there. Its been pretty successful.
Classical Conversations has an art and science project once a week, and we do little things in history as dd is interested. Example- we learned about mummies and then made a mummy out of her Barbie doll, complete with learning about where the organs went, making a sarcophagus out of a spaghetti box...
This week I made a lap book on Columbus, that she could look at when we were driving to her activities. She also did the lapbook when her brother had his music class. She argued with me that her old teacher told her XYZ and my lapbook said something different... =) That got a neat conversation going.
With reading we also talk about what's going on historically. (Little house on the prairie)
we've made a playdough modle f the solar system, and I just finished a solar system lapbook for her. In classical conv. they have a historical timeline, and her tutor wants each kid to pick something from the timeline for show and tell next week to talk about... I think we are going to keep with that and do a lapbook once a week on something on the cc timeline...
Does this sound ok, I am scared about the test my state make you do at the end of the year, and also that I am not doing enough academics. We are out all the time, doing ballet, gymnastics, violin...
I tend to find ways to incorporate some things into others. Like language arts, I try to incorporate that into reading, history, etc - by having them do lots of reading of various books, articles, websites, etc., write summaries, reports, etc. on things they've read - that stuff helps them learn grammar and punctuation much more naturally than sitting down with worksheets. I correct things that need to be corrected, of course, but it seems to help them learn it more easily than the kind of out of context worksheets and things.
However, my state allows registration with an umbrella school and so we don't have to take a test at the end of the year, so that allows me more flexibility with what we do. Personally, I tend to be of the opinion that as long as your kids are happy, healthy and learning, you can't really screw up homeschooling. lol But if you're concerned, is there a way you can get a practice copy of the test to see how they're doing right now? That might allow you to see if there's an area that they're really struggling with and that you need to work on with them.
Just remember that not everything academic has to be done in the same sit-down-do-a-worksheet-listen-to-a-lecture style that it's done in public school. If they can learn something from you through a simple conversation, watching a video online, reading a book, playing a video game, or whatever - it still counts as learning. Remember, too, that not everything has to be learned in extreme depth or in a way that they can explain it. They can also come to understand things that they don't even know they understand or can explain. My kids have come to understand a lot about physics and airplanes from making paper airplanes. They can't explain it, but I can see the knowledge is there because they make adjustments to their planes and make changes as needed to get them to fly properly, or differently, when they want them to. So I know they get it - even if they can't explain it to me. And that's good enough - for now, anyway.
More than we do.
What state are you in and what are the requirements? No one sees our test, but my daughter aced it all the same. We had a choice of tests and this one was fairly basic (too easy, even).
"She is a mermaid, but approach her with caution. Her mind swims at a depth most would drown in."
We're in Florida. Our requirements depend on how we choose to homeschool:
1. We can register with our county and do the Home Education Program (HEP). In the HEP, we have to keep a portfolio with examples of their work for 2 years, be prepared to show said portfolio if the county requests it and do an annual evaluation once per year with a teacher or through a standardized test to show academic progress.
2. We can register with an umbrella school. If we register with an umbrella school, the state counts them as private school students and we have to follow the rules of the umbrella school. Our specific umbrella school has only one requirement, and that is that we report attendance every three months. Beyond that, it's up to us to decide what, how, when and where we want to teach.
I prefer the umbrella school option because I took my kids out of public school because I wasn't happy with the education they were receiving there. It seemed silly to me to take them out because I didn't like the education but then still allow the public school system to basically decide whether or not my kids were making progress. This allows me to determine what's progress - so I can go slower on things they struggle with, or push them harder on things that I know they can and should be challenged on.
Honestly, I don't really feel like we do all that much. lol We do some reading, they play a lot of games. The games are educational, of course, but I find they work better. My boys are tactile learners, and playing games is a good way of "doing" for most things. We do lots of projects and field trips, too. I don't feel like learning has to be a matter of them learning things to recite back to prove they've learned. I feel it should be actual learning - understanding the physics of flying a plane for example, instead of just being able to recite back a bunch of dry text about it from a book. I think they've really learned it when they can make minute changes without thinking twice to make their paper airplane fly better.

How to Disassemble a Canon A620by Hikari Loftus
It's fairly common for dust or other foreign particles to become lodged behind the lens of a camera or within gears. It is also frustrating when your camera is dropped, damaging its inner workings. While these unfortunate incidents occur easily, disassembling your camera to correct errors yourself is not easy. As a camera is an electrical device, with many small pieces and a complicated structure, it is important to follow each step carefully and closely to ensure your own safety and the integrity of your Canon A620.
Remove the batteries from the camera to avoid keeping the camera charged, which would increase the chances of electrical shock.
Remove the filter adapter from the camera lens by pressing the eject button on the bottom right side of the lens.
Remove each of the screws from the outside of the camera, using the Phillips-head mini screwdriver. Because there are many screws and they vary in length, it is recommended that you devise a system to keep track of where each screw came from.
Take off the back casing by freeing it from the top latches that secure it. This may require lifting the front casing away from the latches a bit.
Remove the front casing from the camera and set it aside. Do not directly touch the circuit board, because of the risk of electrical shock.
Take off the top section of the camera with the shutter and zoom dial. Orange ribbon cables are located underneath the top section. Take care to handle them as little as possible by gently using tweezers to move them instead of your fingers.
Remove the bottom plate of the camera by removing the screws, to remove the LCD unit. Gently unplug the blue and yellow cables from the connector.
Remove the ribbon cable located on the front of the camera, in the bottom right-hand corner. Remove the cable gently, using tweezers.
Remove remaining screws securing the LCD unit, and pull the unit away.
Remove the remaining screws holding the metal casing together, and loosen the flash unit.
Discharge the flash capacitor. The flash capacitor, which looks like a battery, contains electrical energy, and there is danger of electrical shock. To continue with camera disassembly, the flash capacitor must be safely discharged by locating the + and - symbols at the flash capacitor solder joints and applying the analog voltmeter.
Set the analog voltmeter to the range closest to 50 volts. Do not allow the probes to touch any other parts of the camera. Apply the red probe to the + lead and the black to the - lead, and hold until the voltage reads zero. This could take a couple of minutes. Do not reload camera batteries after this point for any reason, as batteries will recharge the flash capacitor.
Remove the cover above the lens assembly by removing the spring that secures it. The back cover of the lens assembly is secured with a few latches. Gently remove the back cover, wriggling it free so as not to break the latches. Once it is removed, gears parts may fall loose. Set the cover aside.
Disassemble the lens assembly further. The lens assembly is made up of several cylinders. Remove each of the cylinders, remembering the order in which they were layered.
- check Disassembling your camera allows dust and other particles to enter the mechanism. Before reassembling the device, use the air can to gently blow away dust and debris.
- close There is risk for electrical shock if the camera, especially the flash capacitor, is disassembled improperly or without an analog voltmeter.

I recently was told about a form of butt lift I'd never heard of.. During a consultation for a butt lift I was told about a procedure where in there are sutures placed underneath the muscles of the butt with a sort of cone. Three months later the threads are pulled up and it lifts the butt. I was told this is done all the time in Brazil. I like the idea of a butt lift with out the big scars of a traditional lift but have never heard of this before. Would like to get feed back .
Butt Lift Where Sutures Are Placed Underneath the Muscles of the Butt?

Butt Lift and Sutures
Thank you for your question. This is not common practice to my knowledge in the US and many procedures are done in Brazil, but the long term effects are not known. Fat transfer is common here in the US and has proven to be effective in many but not all cases. There is variables in technique, fat quality, and other variables affecting the outcome. Talk with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and develop a plan to consider for a butt augmentation if indicated. Sutures left in the buttock and pulled up months later has me a bit skeptical on this procedure. I was just in Brazil and nobody was talking about this kind of procedure. I hope this helps.
Butt Lift Where Sutures Are Placed Underneath the Muscles of the Butt?
I would not advise undergoing this procedure. The Brazilian buttlift and implants are the two approved treatments in the US. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Butt Lift
From your description of the procedure, it sounds like a thread lift. And it does not hold!!!
It does not deal with the basic problem of excess skin . Be carefull and research the procedure with a board certified plastic surgeon (American Board of Plastic Surgery)

Greater Sundas Mangroves
About the Area
Recent surveys have revealed the tremendous importance of this region for some of the world's rarest waterbirds, and like all mangroves they are important nursing grounds for several species of fish and shrimp.
Little affected by large-scale forest exploitation until 1975, these mangroves are now the most threatened forests in the archipelago. Sumatra has extensive mangroves along the eastern coast, but the island continues to lose its natural vegetation faster than any other region in Indonesia. Kalimantan's mangroves are somewhat more intact, but are also threatened by agriculture, development, and human settlement.
Local Species
Nipa palm (Nypa fruticans), Common redshank (Tringa totanus), Irrawaddy dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris), Saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), False gharial (Tomistoma schlegeli), Spot-billed pelican (Pelecanus philippensis), Stork-billed kingfisher (Pelargopsis capensis), and several other species of reptiles, amphibians and fishes call this ecoregion home.
Agriculture, shrimp ponds, brackish water fishponds (tambak), salt ponds, human settlement, and illegal logging all pose threats to the ecoregion. Poaching and illegal trade threaten the existence of many local species especially saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus).

Please confirm that you want to add Complete ASP NET MVC Web Development - Newbie to Ninja! to your Wishlist.
Do you want to learn how to program and build robust Websites using the latest technologies?
I'll teach you step by step from the absolute basics to the more advanced patters used by seasoned professionals. You will become an expert ASP NET MVC C# Web Developer, take your career to the next level and learn how the top developers can demand bigger salaries!
Freelance & contract developers can make upwards of $500 a day, and the demand is increasing each year.
Whether you are completely new to software development, or have already learnt the basics, my course will walk you through everything you need to know to become world class
Here's what some students have have been saying:
'A very good course on MVC, after taking some MVC courses here in Udemy, I subscribed this one, helps me to gain more clarity inside the MVC process'
'I now see what I've been missing! This is certainly one of the best courses I've watched/read about ASP NET!'
'I've run through a through a few tutorials and blog posts whilst learning MVC, and I never knew about the ideas discussed in this course, or thought they were beyond be ay my beginner level.'
Do you want to learn how professional developers build best in class websites using ASP NET MVC?
Senior developers can earn in excess of $100k a year - one of the key differences they demonstrate is the ability to quickly write extensible code and get involved in the architecture process.
This course will teach you how enterprise class developers create 'Best in Class' software, and how these principals will help you create software easier, faster and be less prone to bugs.
I will teach you the basics of software development, move onto Object Orientated Programming (OOP) and introduce the 7 SOLID Principles and modern day patterns that adhere to them such as Dependency Injection, MVC, Abstraction and Inheritance.
Through this course you will implement
And of course, being part of Udemy you get:
An introduction to the course and what we will be learning.
An overview of the e-commerce project that we will be building throughout the course.
How to get and install Visual Studio. Kind of important. :-)
A brief introduction about this section of the course - C# Basics - and what we will be covering.
All C# and Web Development projects must start with a 'Hello World' project. It's an unwritten law of the Universe. So let's get started and see just how easy it is to create a fully functional C# Program!
Click the resources tab and download the code for the Hello World Project
So we have our very first C# program - but what are all those files about? In this lecture we'll examine the anatomy of a C# program and look what happens when it get's 'compiled'.
How do we create 'objects' of our own devising? What happens when the built in C# 'types' just don't cut the mustard? In this lecture we examine how we can create classes and structs to build our programs.
Click the resources tab and download the code for the Variables and Types Project used in the previous lectures on Variables, Types and User Defined Types.
How do you store lists of information in a C# Program? This lecture explores the options for storing, sorting and searching lists of information.
Click the resources tab and download the code for the Arrays Project used in the previous lectures on Arrays and Collections
All programs need to respond to information and execute code depending on user choices and actions. In this lecture we learn how to build Program Flow into a C# application. We learn how to check and compare variables and the various options available for directing the code accordingly.
We will cover If Then Else statements, While Loops, For Loops and Switch Statements.
All software has a hiccup sometimes. In this lecture we look at the basics of debugging your C# application.
So what exactly did you learn in this section? A brief overview of what we did and where to go next,
Object Orientated Programming (OOP) is often overlooked by new developers assuming they will 'pick it up' - however it's best to learn the concepts from the beginning. This lecture will give you a brief overview of what OOP actually is and why we need it.
Learning is easier by doing - take a walkthrough creating and using classes.
Now you've learnt the basics, I'll show you so of the more advanced things you can do with classes and their usage.
In this lecture we will discuss what a LIBRARY is, and how we can use namespaces to group and partition our code whilst preventing conflicts.
Some of the basic 'features' of OOP - honestly - it's NOT that scary!
Explanation of public, private, internal and virtual access modifiers when declaring classes, properties and methods.
This book is a brief introduction and reference to what we have been learning so far. I normally sell this on Amazon, but it's free to all my hard working students :-)
Click the resources tab to get the Playground Project used in the OOP Lectures
SOLID is a set of guidelines for writing easily maintained code. Top developers (the ones who make the big bucks) try to follow these guidelines to make their life easier and code faster. They are also a must if you ever want to work in a larger team on larger projects.
The S in SOLID. Learn about the Single Responsibility Principle and how we use it to break code up and to nice simple classes.
The O in SOLID. Best practices for building classes in regards to updating and extending your software.
The L in SOLID. This principle teaches you to write code that can be easily replaced and swapped out.
The I in SOLID. This principle works in conjunction with the Liskov Principle to build code that can be made modular.
The D in SOLID. Dependency Inversion is perhaps one of the biggest growing patterns in software development. It is essential to understand and paves the way for better Testing and modularity of your code. The lecture provides the theory, and then you'll implement it in a real world scenario in the 'Building a data layer' section.
Slides from the previous lectures in PDF Format - handy for reference!
Test how well you understand SOLID Principles!
What exactly is MVC and why is everyone using it now? This lecture provides an overview and just why MVC is a great tool for Website Development
Learn by doing. Create your first MVC website and start learning the core knowledge that you will build upon.
Once you have your website you use 'Views' to display the actual HTML to your users. This walkthrough will teach you everything you need to know to use Views effectively in an MVC website.
Partial Views are a simple yet powerful kind of view used in MVC that allow you to build common sections of code and functionality and re-use them throughout your website. This makes building your site neater, quicker and easier to maintain.
Click the Resources Tab to get the MVCStarter Project/Website used in the MVC Primer Lectures
Have you learnt your M from your V & C's? Test your knowledge!
Now you have the basics lets get started building an e-Commerce site! First we'll have a walkthrough of HOW we will be splitting our project up to ensure it is modular, easy to maintain and easy to extend.
Here I will walk you through building our basic solution. This will set us up ready for the real work.
The first thing we need to build is our data layer. The data layer is all the code that is responsible for Creating, Reading, Updating and Deleting (CRUD) our data such as product information and customers. Lets have a quick overview of how we will do this.
First we must define the model that our project will use, and discuss why we make certain choices around static and dynamic fields
A brief introduction to the Entity Framework for data persistence, and how we can integrate and extend that library into our application
How Abstraction can reduce our code base and maintenance by creating a common class for derived classes that share functions. This is a real world example of how to use OOP features such as Encapsulation, Inheritance and Polymorphism.
Source code of the project so far. Includes the basic Models, project framework and is ready for the next lecture!
You can pick this code up as is and continue with it, or simple use if to check the work you've done so far.
How Entity Framework Migrations can help keep the database in sync with our model, and how to set it up and use it effectively.
What are interfaces and how they will help up implement a key SOLID Principal
A simple introduction to Unity DI, why we use it, and how to implement the basics. This is another key SOLID principle, and in this lecture you'll learn how to use it.
Code so far - I've added Basket and BasketItems - so you will need to run an Update Database from the package manager console!
We'll run through some basic MVC scaffolding again, but more importantly how we hook it up to our new data layer
Buidling on what you learnt in the previous lecture, this time you will implement the Browse and Details pages for your products.
Code so far ready for the add to basket.
You can pick this code up as is and continue with it, or simple use if to check the work you've done so far.
Build a separate basket service in a modular fashion - this way we can independently maintain, test and update the service without muddling up our UI project,
What are module and we use them?
A Brief introduction in to the concepts and why they are useful
Start with this code and compare it to what you have written. It includes some basic models for a 'Voucher' entity. Don't forget to run Update-Database!
Using the Voucher model included in the previous code update, we'll create a module for calculating and creating a voucher that users can add to their basket to get money off etc. The module will use a lot of the SOLID principles to create something that can be easily swapped out with as many different versions as you need - all on the fly and controlled within your website!
The final piece of the puzzle - how to actually use your shiny new SOLID compliant modules.
Code so far - updated project with all code from the Module Injection lectures
Hi! I'm Brett and I live in a quiet little town in the North of England.
I've worked in IT for over 15 years as a developer and architect and I've been programming since I was 10. I've worked as a freelancer and as a consultant for small companies and some of the worlds largest IT providers - including Fujitsu, Cap Gemini and Capita.
In that time I've worked with a range of development tools from BASIC to PASCAL, Visual Basic, C#, Swift, Java, ASP and ASP.NET. I've built solutions with pure code, Dynamics CRM and Sharepoint - I certainly don't get bored!
I love learning new technologies, and more recently I'm enjoying sharing that knowledge through books, blogs and of course training courses.
For me learning is a lifelong pursuit - and I hope you'll join me on my journey!

|Easy to protect overhang with .75 cam and runner. The second bolt is on the upper face before the transition to arete. A runner and #1 cam in the upper crack before the second bolt is helpful--especially if a shorter climber. The third bolt is on the upper arete, with the final bolt at the top section. There are three hangers on top of the climb for anchoring, so a long piece of webbing is helpful to set it up.

|It would be really appreciated if someone would re-bolt the anchors. Went to climb there today and set up the top rope and bailed because of the bolts. It would be great to have more access for those of us who do not own trad gear to back things up.

I don't mean to be harsh, but F - that.
I've been climbing at Pinnacle Peak for a long time. It is a trad area and we've all done the $$$ shuffle to scramble some gear together. If gear is needed (and it is on most of the routes), then bring it, or head off to one of the thousands of completely bolted routes found within a two hour drive of Phoenix. I don't recall the bolts up there being that bad, but if you feel a (subjective) need to back them up, then pick up some nuts and a few/set of hexes (you can find those CHEAP on Ebay) and rig it up with a long runner or a couple of cordalettes. I'm guessing maybe you don't have much experience, and maybe don't know how to do that, and maybe figure clipping a couple of nice bolts right above a route doesn't take any real knowledge and only costs you a couple of quickdraws, but this area isn't about your personal convenience/comfort and frankly, it shouldn't be.

|I'll reinforce what Ted had said. Definitely wished I had had a #1 and runner for the section above the horizontal crack and mini roof before the second bolt. #4 in the horizontal. Definitely a worthwhile climb.

I am surprised Marty missed rebolting those old anchors. Since it is a City of Scottsdale Park, they should do the deed. If all you want is to replace the old unsafe bolts, personally I don't have a problem with that.
Bolts get old and rusted, some were bad to begin with. It is a topic I am presently working on with gear from the ASCA.
One of the difficulties is finding the bolts most in need of replacement. I'd like to start with Leeper hangers and old SMC hangers in the McDowells.
If you have any suggestions, send me a PM.

The Royalton School Board is taking steps to improve the school's learning environment by developing the skills and education of a new staff person. Shari Bishop is a recent hire. She will be teaching a curriculum for gifted and talented students from preschool through to the eighth grade, to provide the students with the challenges they need for further educational development in a school setting.
"This will provide new opportunities for our kids," said Supt. Jon Ellerbusch. "We'd like to hire her and then provide her with more schooling."
There were no candidates for the position that already came with the specialized core for this position. Bishop was seen as the best match for the position as she is from the area and comes with teaching experience. She has the interest to obtain more schooling for the curriculum, but would need to drive to the metro area to attend a private university for the license.
The district would like pay for Bishop's tuition to Hamline University where she will acquire the education needed to make the gifted and talented curriculum successful.
"This is a very unusual situation," said Elementary Principal Dr. Phil Gurbada. "It's not (Bishop) that is asking to obtain these credits; we want this program to develop the way we want it to. We found a really good match, someone anchored in the community. This will benefit her and benefit us in the years ahead. There is a risk. She might go to another community, for example. But there is always a risk when you do something worth doing. From what we've seen by how she's gone about it so far. She's mature and has intelligence."
The Board supported the motion to supply Bishop with the opportunity to better herself while providing the district with new expertise in a specialized field.
The Board approved to pay for Bishop's tuition so that she may enroll in June, but the contract will have to be reworked before the Board gives a final approval.
The Board voted against the resolution for no parking on Hawthorn Street South from the hours of 7:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. The resolution failed 4 – 1.
"There is no scope. How far down does the parking ban go? Rewrite this. Change the times so that parents can park there to pick up their children at 3 p.m.," said Board Member Tom Justin.
The Board agreed that there is risk to the students who are parking on and crossing Hawthorn Street due to increased and unsupervised pedestrian and vehicle traffic. It also creates a nuisance to residents living on Hawthorn. Members of the board feel that the parking did not become a problem until after they imposed a parking fee for their back parking lot. The fee was initially meant to fund the paving and maintenance of the parking lot, but they have not been able to raise enough money to afford this improvement.
The Board decided to revisit the issue and lift the fee in the back parking lot so students will be encouraged to park in the back and off of Hawthorn Street. If this does not eradicate the problem, the resolution will be rewritten. Even if the Board approves the resolution, the county will also need to approve the ban.
Royalton School Board Briefs
Other business before the Royalton School Board included:
•Approval for the hiring of following staff for the summer throughout the 2014/2015 school year: Kelley Newell for the middle and high school social science teacher, Timothy Siewert as a grade 5-12 band teacher, Katelyn Fuhrman as a special education teacher, Terry Gorecki as head of wrestling coach and Abby Ellerbusch, Tammy Willen, Shane Eastman and Tanna Stucky were all hired for the after school and summer MAP program;
•Approval for the resignation of Aaron Meier as assistant varsity football coach effective April 16, Lynette Miller as middle and high school career resource and guidance secretary effective May 2 and Glenn Fisk as bus route driver effective June 4; and
•Hearing that Jan. 6, 2015 is the election date for area residents to vote for the new building addition. The Board will have to approve an architect and construction manager for the project but would like to seek bids from additional construction managers before making a final decision on either position.

See Colin Glen's work as part of Site Festival
Colin Glen has a framed proof of Re made II available to view at his house in Stroud for the occasion of the Site 2012 Festival until 31st May. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange a visit or for more information, visit Colin Glen's website.
"The specific object of the Bottlerack was chosen for the print due its significance as Marcel Duchamp's first readymade of 1914, a quotidian object that can still be acquired and used (for drying bottles) - but it is also an iconic image from the history of modern art known principally through its photograph - generally representing the move from the hand-made artwork to that in which ideas are more important.
Incidentally, the title Re made takes the word 'readymade' and removes three letters to be instead about reproduction, but with something missing. In the process of titling the prints in 2H pencil you can see a ghost images of the letters which have been 'removed'."

There's a lot of talk these days about censorship: Who's censoring who and what's censorship and what's not.
In the midst of all that talk, I found this video on Andrew Sullivan's Daily Dish at The Atlantic.com. As the filmmaker described it:
"This short was made for the 2007 72 Hour Film Festival in Frederick, Maryland.
All of the clips used in this film came from a reel of 35mm nitrate found in an old theater somewhere in Pennsylvania. The projectionist clipped these scenes to meet local moral standards of the time.
Will our current forms of censorship look just as ridiculous to future generations?"
Just something to think about.

Cherry Blossom at Shinjuku Gyoen
Went on a trip to Japan during late March and took these photos on one of my last days there. Most of the sakura trees have not bloom yet except for some early blooming species, so the sights were not as nice compared to full bloom now.
Anyway, hope you enjoy my photos (^-^)
