The Newtown Shootings: Patch, State of Michigan, to Take Part in Moment of Silence
Our Patches across the country will take part in a Web Moment of Silence on Friday, and Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has requested that state residents pause to remember those lost last week.
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has asked for a statewide moment of silence at 9:30 a.m. Friday, and Patches in Michigan and across the country will join in a Web Moment of Silence to mark the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT.
Snyder said the moment of silence was requested by Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy, who issued a proclamation calling on the citizens of Connecticut to observe December 21, 2012, as a day of mourning. Malloy sent a letter to all the nation's governors asking them to observe a moment of silence in remembrance of the fallen.
Patch sites across the country will mark the tragedy at 9:30 a.m. EST.
Among other sites taking part in the Web Moment of Silence are AOL, Adobe, Foursquare, Hacker News, Duke University Jawbone, Salesforce and others.
How will you participate? Tell us in comments.

We should all use that moment of silence to pray they'll never be cause for another.

Hey Euge, don't take Bryan's remark to heart.He's about to tell all the little kids there's no such thing as Santa Claus.
1:49 pm on Thursday, December 27, 2012
Hey, Euge...so what other amendment to the constitution do you want to use you eraser on? Perhap the freedom of expression...so you can't start mouthing off about taking away other freeedoms from law abiding citizens of tjhe United States! Your stupid, but absolutely lawful petrition is also guaranteed under the 1st amandment to our Constiution of the United States. Let me write iyt out to you Euge...Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. PLEASE, catch that last part Euge. So, we don't need any guns in the hands of the people as guaranteed by the 2nd amendment (and upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court) because we now have a military. Okay Euge, next time someone breaks down your front door ready to rob, rape, pillage and kill...why not try callling the Pentigon for the military response you think is appropriate now. Forget about calling 911, because by the time you get to the phone, you're dead. Better to have that 9mm in the night stand, Euge. Yes, you are an absolute ignorant, anti-gun, liberal, progressive...but so far, you have the right to be so...unless someone else has a bigger eraser than you to wipe your rights out as well.

Repeal the rights of U.S. citizens? Great idea, Eugene...NOT! Have you ever actually read the 2nd Amendment? "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." There's enough reading material out there, if you care to take the time to research it, that documents the intended purpose of the 2nd amendment. At that time England had stripped the right of gun ownership from its people and the people were powerless against an oppressive government. The 2nd amendment was to ensure that never happened in the U.S. There are various writings which further indicate that it was every person's right, not just active miltia member, to bear arms for self defense.
Furthermore, according to the ATF 93% of violent crimes committed with a firearm were done so with an illegal firearm...by criminals...you know, the people who don't obey the law. The only thing that gun control laws do is strip away the rights of law-abiding citizens to protect themselves and their families from the criminal element. Maybe someone should start a petition to have your U.S. citizenship revoked...
8:40 am on Friday, December 28, 2012
Jerry, You quote the 2nd Amendment to press the point that guns are for the SELF DEFENSE. I'll give you that only when guns are used for protection. Too many times and especially THIS time in Newtown the gun was used to KILL as an OFFENSIVE weapon. The gun used in this massacre is called an ASSAULT RIFLE. Why? That is it's PRIMARY job, to lay down as many bullets as possible in as short a time frame as possible to immobilize the threat. In this case, the "threat" was 20 children no older than 8 and 6 adults.
Gun control PROTECTS innocent lives from these types of crimes AND weapons. Allowing anybody to avoid background checks for any reason is appalling. NOBODY should own a weapon if they do not meet the standards set by society for doing so. Yes, owning a gun is a "right", however HOW you get to own the gun is NOT a "right" so stop pretending it is. Lobby groups and the NRA should be ashamed of themselves for their response to this tragedy. Open your eyes and see that you are being used as a pawn by an INDUSTRY for THEIR cause. $$
If you and other don't all want to be labeled as "gun nuts" along with those that commit these heinous crimes don't line up to defend their "rights". Instead stand up, think for yourself and demand that every means possible be used to STOP these types of crimes from being committed with these types of weapons. It won't stop anyone intent on doing harm from acting out, but it certainly will limit their ability to commit mass murder so easily
9:33 am on Friday, December 28, 2012
Ron--Not that it matters, according to an NBC News Update, an assault-type rifle was not used in the Sandy Hook horror. The scumbag did try to purchase one prior (on Dec 11) but was denied. However, his negligent mother didn't keep any of her firearms locked in a safe...incomprehensible.
9:41 am on Friday, December 28, 2012
Bruce, Thanks for the update,,, I had not heard that information until now. It seems the "system" worked to keep the shooter from getting his hands on another rifle. My feeling regarding these types of weapons remains unchanged. NOBODY "needs" an assault rifle to hunt. If you "need" that many bullets to bring down your prey,, you need to practice at the range more.
We all need to be vigilant and keep the guns out of the hands of the wrong people. I refuse to see your rights taken away as a gun owner, but common sense must be applied and all efforts made to stop guns from getting into the wrong hands. Simply adding more guns into the equation will solve nothing.
1:29 pm on Sunday, December 23, 2012
"Except for licensed hunters ban the ownership of guns by civilians. Repeal the 2nd amendment, it is not appropate when we have a military..." Huh?
Disarm America except for hunters? You, Euge, have NO RIGHT to infringe upon anyone's right to life or self defense. You have the right to not own a gun but that is where your rights end..with you. Disarming 80,000,000 Americans is not the solution. It will only exacerbate the criminal element. Do yourself an educational favor and seek out the historical documentary, "Innocents Betrayed".
4:06 am on Monday, December 24, 2012
Well done Euge and keep trying to eliminate guns. Except for a few anachronistic gun owners and the self-serving NRA, the majority of Americans agree with you. The 2nd amendment is not about individual gun rights. It was adopted from an English precept that was written at the time of monarchy rule. The founding fathers recognized the need for this amendment to protect the right to assemble, form a militia and bear arms in a militia. It has nothing to do with "protecting your home" and certainly nothing to do with arming kindergarten teachers but unfortunately vested gun interests in the US continue to hide behind this argument. Just as MADD changed legal consequences and social attitudes towards drunk driving 20+ years ago, we need to change our collective national attitude towards gun possession. More regulation is needed for those who wish to legitimately own them and more severe consequences for those that don't.
1:52 pm on Thursday, December 27, 2012
Hey Dibble---just keep writing...your absolute ignorace is showing. Try reading the Fedarlist Papers if you think our founding fathers had any ideas like yours. And...I have no idea where you get the dunderhead idea that the MAJORITY of Americans agree with you. It is just the opposite!
Harlan Hatcher
9:45 am on Monday, December 24, 2012
Dibblevilleresident, your comment is sadly incorrect and most unwise. Nobody wants to ever see another Sandy Hook incident, but a quick-fix solution is not realistic. An honest and overall social perspective is needed. May Santa bring you a generous helping of enlightenment this Christmas.
Brad Jensen
10:44 am on Wednesday, December 26, 2012
No, there is no quick fix that will instantly prevent another Sandy Hook. There will unfortunately be another Sandy Hook, and probably another after that. Already two firefighters have lost their lives because of a nut using another Bushmaster assault rifle. That doesn't mean we should sit back and do nothing. Norway and Australia have instituted gun control. Why can't we? It will be expensive and will take a long time, but isn't it worth it in the long run? Do we want a society where when someone says " Hey, did you read about the mass shooting?" our answer will be "Which one?".
1:56 pm on Thursday, December 27, 2012
Oh Brad...wow-- again..another idiot that says we don't have gun control laws. Why not try to write about something you have at least a foggy idea or knowledge about. Apparently you have no idea of what is required to own a handgun in Michigan, or many of the other 49 states. Tyr reading and learning before writing...it makes you look at least a bit less empty headed!
Brad Jensen
8:30 pm on Thursday, December 27, 2012
Look into the laws of Norway and Australia and see if we have anything approaching the scope and depth of their laws. To me gun control means that we have guns under control which is obviously not the case in the US. If you think that answering 70% correct on a questionnaire and not being deemed legally insane before being allowed to buy a handgun, or filling out a a form before buying a rifle is "gun control" then I guess we differ on the the meaning of the concept.
Brad Jensen
10:49 am on Wednesday, December 26, 2012
You have a "right" to self defence because of the Second Amendment and the Supreme Court's interpretation of it. Euge also has a right to use the democratic process to call for a repeal of the Second Amendment as outlined in the Constitution. Amendments have been repealed in the past. Owning a firearm is not a Human Right
Bryan Bentley
11:21 pm on Wednesday, December 26, 2012
You are correct Brad. Owning a firearm is an American Right...
7:18 am on Thursday, December 27, 2012
You agree we have a right to life (self defense), liberty and property but not the right to own a firearm? Owning a firearm (bear arms) is an individual right that is more than enumerated under the 2nd, 9th and 10th Amendments.
Brad Jensen
8:37 pm on Thursday, December 27, 2012
Bryan, our rights are what we define them to be. Slavery was also once an "American Right".
Bruce, you have the right to own a musket to join a militia to fight the British. All else has been interpreted into the Constitution over the years and was not the original intent of the Founding Fathers. Unfortunately due to bad wording of the Second Amendment this was not made clear and needs to be corrected. You have a right to join a State Militia (National Guard), nothing else. Even under the current interpretation, it is clear that you do not have the right to own ANY gun you want. What about hand grenades? Why are they illegal? What if I feel threatened and would like to have some for my protection? Machine guns? RPGs?
9:16 pm on Wednesday, December 26, 2012
Not that it matters, an assault-type rifle was not used in the Sandy Hook horror. The scumbag did try to purchase one prior to Dec 11 but was denied, however, his negligent mother didn't keep them in a safe...incomprehensible.
10:38 pm on Thursday, December 27, 2012
Brad-- The 2nd Amendment does not give anyone the right to anything. That right is reserved from governmental control in the Ninth and Tenth Amendments. Further, if one were to go back to the notes of the First Congress' deliberations on the Second Amendment one would find that initially the Amendment was written to include such personal Arms rights but the Delegates determined that if they mentioned those rights eventually they would get legislatively controlled. They chose to change the Second Amendment to exclude mentioning such private rights thereby excluding them wholly from governmental legislative control by leaving them under the blanket protection of the Ninth Amendment.
Your individual rights end with you. You have NO RIGHT to infringe on another individual's rights.
I guess we agree to disagree. So be it.
Brad Jensen
10:06 am on Friday, December 28, 2012
Of course you have the right to infringe on other's right. Every time we throw someone in prison, we are infringing on their "rights". If you join the military, you give up some of your rights. Again, why are they infringing on my "right" to own hand grenades, if I find it necessary to own them to defend my right to "life and liberty"? Right are what we define them to be and if, as a nation, we decide that the 2nd Amendment was originally set up to create State militias and we decide to have a constitutional amendment clarifying it as such, then we are not infringing on anyone's "rights" because their "rights" have been redefined. Most nations have defined Human Rights as rights that cannot be changed by law but that are rights that every human should have. All other "rights" are defined by law. Laws can and should be changed if they do not serve society. Owning any damn weapon you please with any size clip you want and carrying it any damn place you want is not a human right. Not even close.

can we shut down this thread for comments? I'm not really getting the sense that the discussion is fruitful for anyone anymore
11:18 am on Friday, December 28, 2012
There are a lot of metaphors, cliches and comparisons to other countries going on in this gun violence discussion. I just saw some dog excretement on the the street and my knees jerked. I thought damn those dogs and damn those dog owners. But not all dog owners are irresponsible and the majority do clean up after their dogs. Just like the majority of gun owners are responsible, or our death by gun rate would be even higher than the 20,000. But it is the minority that are killing our children, students, fellow workers, their families and themselves. They are leaving a mess but not all gun owners are to blame or are they? The pooper laws worked to improve our streets the same requirement for dog owners as for gun owners. Gun owners and manufacturers should be made liable for the damage caused by guns.
Gun lovers are very vocal and defensive when they think that the big bad government is going to take away their weapons. Besides a gun buy back program there needs to counselling offered. It could be part of an application for a permit to see what it is missing or lacking that requires a gun as a substitute.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – The 2011 cross country schedule will take UNCG to nine events this fall, highlighted by the NCAA Pre-Nationals, as head coach Linh Nguyen announced the upcoming schedule on Wednesday.
"We've changed up the schedule this year from what it's been in the past," said Nguyen. "We feel that both teams should be very competitive this year and the schedule reflects that belief. Paul Short is a great meet that will test us and give the women a chance to run a 6k during the season. Pre-Nationals is obviously one of the premier meets in the country and should give us a very strong challenge as we head into the championship season of the schedule."
The Spartans will start their season by running at the Guilford College XC Carnival on Sept. 3 in Greensboro before heading to nearby Elon, N.C. on Sept. 17 to compete in the Elon Invitational.
UNCG will then travel to the Paul Short Run in Bethlehem, Pa. on Aug. 30, while other members of the team will stay in Greensboro to run in the Greensboro XC Invitational the following day.
Two weekends later, the Spartans will be back in action at the prestigious NCAA Pre-Nationals in Terre Haute, Ind. before wrapping up the regular season on Oct. 22 at the Lenoir-Rhyne Invitational.
UNCG will look to build upon its impressive result last year at the Southern Conference Championship as it will run in the event on Oct. 29 in Charleston, S.C. The team will then head to Louisville, Ky. for the NCAA Southeast Regional on Nov. 12 before heading back to Terre Haute, Ind. for the NCAA National Championship.
The team will report for the first day of practice beginning on Aug. 16.

WEYMOUTH, England (AP) — Mathew Belcher and Malcolm Page of Australia held off their British rivals to win the Olympic gold medal in the men's 470 class Friday, guaranteeing that the team from Down Under will finish with more sailing golds than the host country. Australia has three sailing golds to Britain's one. Britain has only one more chance to win gold, the women's 470. Britain's Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell sailed well early in the medals race before being overhauled by the Aussies on the first downwind leg. Patience and Bithell took the silver, and Argentina's Lucas Calabrese and Juan de la Fuente won the bronze. Australia finished second in the medals race and the British crew was fourth. The British needed to finish ahead of the Aussies, with a boat between, to win the gold. Page was on the winning 470 crew in Beijing, sailing with Nathan Wilmot.

"Really nice quality and got it quickly" (E220)
"I order 19 of these for our U11 boys as their end of season gifts. I had a friend that had a store and could not get any bags for me for less than $20 each so I searched and found them here for $14 and some change. The boys absolutely loved them and the parents and coach was impressed with the quality and size. After receiving them, I had boys player #'s put on them by the same friend. Even she was impressed at the cost I got them at and the quality. I would definately order these again if needed. Great product! Quick shipping! " (E12638)

Though I like to think that most ASW readers are careful with their dress generally, the first time a man takes a prospective partner out socially sets the tone for any subsequent relationship. That means some extra thought should be given to the occasion, and to dress (you knew we would be getting to that did you not?).
Appropriate clothing is always situational, which is the reason Richard Gere sent Julia Roberts out to buy clothes before being seen with her publicly in the film Pretty Woman. Sending one's date shopping in advance of the occasion is, of course, unlikely to be appropriate however desireable it might be theoretically. That leaves us to ask ourselves what will make the datee comfortable. After all, their comfort will also be ours. Tune the formality level to the other person.
That said, the first date is safer when the number of conversational opportunities are relatively controllable. A concert, for example, or a film, provides space to determine if the other has anything to say without creating the possibility of long mutual silences, as a one-on-one dinner might when there proves to be less personality on the other side of the table than one had hoped. After all, the evening is usually easily extended when things are going well. The opposite is harder. But I digress.
The types of occasions that make for successful first dates leave us with a surprisingly narrow range of clothing choices. Need I say that black tie is unlikely? A suit will generally set too formal a tone, most odd jackets are wrong after six, and men who would choose to go jacketless are surely reading some other advice. This leaves us with the blazer or a velvet jacket by default, and I like the velvet best if one is available. In dark blue. Combine it with polished black slip-on shoes or velvet slippers, and relate the trousers to the occasion. Denim works well for films if you own any denim, with gray flannel a better choice for the theater. Subtract socks when the weather allows and add a bow tie if your self-confidence permits.
Good luck to you.

Thoughts for a First Date
10 comments:
- LaoHu said...
Will, I think this is the first time I've witnessed your otherwise impeccable taste run beyond the pale.Velvet jacket and slippers for a first date? Perhaps if you're Hefner. On their first date Barbi Benton is said to have told Hef, "I've never dated anyone over 21?" To which he famously replied, "Neither have I."
My own experience would indicate that movies are bad choices for the first few dates since the whole point is to determine whether the two of you can have a face-to-face conversation. Go to dinner, wear a suit, and let her know to expect you'll be wearing one. - August 8, 2010 at 10:54:00 AM PDT
- Will said...
Reasonable men can disagree. To me, the purpose of a first date is to determine whether there should be a second, and I see no reason anyone should suffer during the failures. I have had enough of those to learn that I could tell whether I wanted to date someone again from the time we spent talking on the way to the event, during intermission and the drink afterwards if there was one, and on the way home. No need to resort to dinner for the first date - a boring dinner is a miserable experience as you know.
As to dress, the slippers might be a bit louche, though I would wear them in resort towns on either coast, but I will defend the velvet jacket in black, midnight or even dark brown. Hefner's ability to conduct adult relationships has nothing to do with it. - August 8, 2010 at 1:10:00 PM PDT
- James said...
I would think a suit without a tie is sufficiently informal and sufficiently stylish for a date in the evening. A velvet jacket strikes me as too much, especially for the younger man.
- August 8, 2010 at 6:06:00 PM PDT
- Will said...
In America it is the younger men who wear the velvet jackets. And, in my opinion, a suit without a necktie is always just wrong to put it mildly. If you read a bit of the blog I am fairly sure I have explained myself somewhere.
- August 8, 2010 at 6:58:00 PM PDT
- Bob said...
Well, I thought about it and I have come to the conclusion that the velvet jacket ruse would have been for me in my dating days a perfectly fine way to determine whether she had any sense of style or not. So since the younger man wears the velvet these days, I am all for it and congratulate you Will on a reinvigorating a garment of such questionable place among many more pedestrian gentlemen.
- August 9, 2010 at 2:35:00 PM PDT
- Horatio said...
Once upon a time, I met a woman when I was out dancing. We hit it off, and made a date. I did, in fact, wear a bow tie on that date.
She & I are now married with children. - August 9, 2010 at 10:22:00 PM PDT
- Ann said...
Having never been on a first date with a slipper wearing man, I have however been on a few with men who carefully (insert sarcasm) selected their best logo tee shirt and athletic sneakers. To add on to Will's comment, I thought the purpose of the first date was to determine if there is a second without EXCLUDING the possibility!
- August 11, 2010 at 2:05:00 PM PDT
- JC said...
In writing most odd jackets are wrong after six, does this mean patterned and/or lighter colored, or something more? What examples of odd jacketing might be appropriate after six?
- August 11, 2010 at 7:59:00 PM PDT
- ModernMs said...
Most of my recent first dates have been at Starbucks. No one wears velvet at Starbucks.
- August 15, 2010 at 8:27:00 PM PDT
- James said...
Concerning a suit without a tie, do you always think it wrong? What is your opinion of this sort of look:

Stop the Pity: Now We are Getting Somewhere
Mamma Hope has done something revolutionary! They have made a campaign that does not try to elicit pity. 'Stop the Pity. Unlock the Potential.' has kicked off with the above video of Alex re-telling the story of Commando, the 1980's action movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
This is what better advocacy looks like. The end of the video plays on all the talents of Alex and invites the viewer to 'unlock' his potential by supporting the organization. If we can start seeing those in poverty as having potential it will create a shift in the way in which donors view the recipients of aid.
As a side note, the kids who hung around my house in Kenya were wild for Jet Li and Jackie Chan. Kung-Fu movies were a constant reference and request. The same kids who appear as the ones with tattered clothes and crying eyes, were very much full of energy as joy as they ran around re-enacting the movies they saw.
Also, if you are flying Virgin America Airlines, you will get to see this video in-flight.
So, maybe a larger faith-based organization everyone has been talking about can follow the lead of Mama Hope to become the leader in a new way of telling stories...

Not sure if having the potential to retell a violent moving is the best thing to be proud of, particularly in Africa. Shame it wasn't the Wizard of Oz... but that would not have worked, would it, since that's not what the West export most...
- 11 February, 2011 09:40
Aww a cute African kid! I've never seen a charity ad use a cute African kid before!
Is it really groundbreaking advocacy if it says nothing about their work?
Is a orphanage building startup non-profit the sort of org you *really* want to get behind?
Is my donation helping send Arnold DVDs?
I like the marketing. I think it's cute. It doesn't do many of the bad things other orgs do. But I don't think this is the end all of NGO marketing. - 11 February, 2011 09:54
- Tom Murphy said...
@perpheries - I too wish it was not a violent film.
@aidhack - Good points. A note, I am not throwing support to the organization, I do not know anything about them. My praise is on the video alone.
Yes, you are right 'groundbreaking' is definitely hyperbole. However, I think it is a good step forward.
Thanks for the comments. - 11 February, 2011 09:58
- Pablo said...
About being a non-violent film... It wouldn´t have been so credible. Little boys love this kind of films! When I was around 10 my favorite film was ROCKY II !
- 11 February, 2011 10:15
- Abdoul said...
I am a Kenyan, living in the US for the last two years. This video needs to be shown in all those development classes taught at Grad school. Very refreshing.
- 11 February, 2011 10:28
- aidhack said...
Hey, fair enough and good on them to try something new.
The challenge for larger NGO's is that they do work with people with HIV/AIDS, child soldiers, orphans, and trafficked children. Whereas this is a nice, lighthearted message for Mama Hope's donors, it's not surprising that it hasn't been copied by an org that has lobbied, fundraised for and worked on these issues for years. Large orgs are risk averse, and I expect we might not see this sort of "the African kids are alright" messaging in the main stream for a while especially for orgs with older donor bases.
In the meantime, invisible children and charity water will continue making kick ass videos for the college kids who want to feel happy about Africa and the kids. - 11 February, 2011 11:35
- Tom Murphy said...
@aidhack - Agreed. I could not have said it better myself. Thanks again.
- 11 February, 2011 11:37
- Brendan Rigby said...
I share the concerns of aidhack, but you are balanced, thoughtful and open to other's opinions as always Tom. Refreshing.
Overall, I think it is a great example of effective non-profit marketing and advocacy. I think concerns of the violence portrayed in Commando are overplayed, but are valid concerns. Like Pablo & Alex, I grew up watching Arnold and probably still quote him too often. The violence is quite tame compared to the modern action genre. It is soft, but still violent. Alternative Arne movies: Twins, Kindergarten Cop, Junior?
It does skew many of the realities as aidhack points out, but offers a counterweight to the messaging and images that we often rail against. There are positive things to take away from this campaign, but always room for improvement. - 11 February, 2011 12:21
I'd like to see the one with his sister where she describes a movie she has seen. Good overall point, not the film I'd celebrate (he kills them all! Cool!)
- 11 February, 2011 14:04
The film shows the kind of real, everyday interaction that a foreigner might have with a kid they meet while traveling in Tanzania or another a country in Africa, when that kid hasn't been taught yet that he's supposed to ask them for money and play the victim.
The main movies that kids have access to in movie houses and local cinemas or local VHS or DVD shops in the African countries where I've visited are Rambo and Terminator and similar. So it's depressing but not surprising that this is the film the kid can recount. Not to mention that most little boys who grew up elsewhere might love these films too.
Having said that, the film did NOT prompt me to go and see what mamawhatever does as an organization. I don't even remember the organization's name, and I don't know what they do or what they stand for. So if the film wants me to donate or learn about their work, it failed. But if the film is about getting me to see a truer vision of what a lot of kids are like, it succeeded. And succeeded well. I think this type of messaging needs to get out more.
Good points from AidHack and Brendan, but I have to say I'd rather see this kind of film than the typical sob story stereotype. And AidHack - not all kids who are in 'special circumstances' are all sad all the time. And children in special circumstances are not a large majority of children in all African countries. I do think that there is a big challenge in how to raise money in ethical and respectful ways for programs to support children who are in need and in very difficult circumstances. I'm glad some orgs are trying things though, and hopefully at some point there will be a new standard.... - 11 February, 2011 14:19

Report: NoCo economy among strongest in state
Consumer spending and residential construction activity rose in both counties and especially in Weld, according to a report released this week by the Governor's Office of State Planning and Budgeting.
The regional labor market remains positive for Larimer, while vigorous oil and gas activity continues to fuel Weld's economy, according to the report.
Retail trade sales surged more than 26 percent in Weld last year while sales in Larimer increased 7.9 percent vs. sales in 2010. Sales in both counties are tracking above statewide levels, with Weld sales rising markedly in the latter half of last year.
Housing permits were up 37.2 percent in the Fort Collins and Loveland area during the first four months of the year vs. the same period last year. Single-family permits increased more than 59 percent.
In the Greeley area, overall permits soared more than 79 percent and single-family permits increased nearly 76 percent.

Does Evolutionary Psychology Explain Why We Believe in God? Part 1
When we look across times and cultures and find very similar beliefs concerning the nature of physical, biological, and psychological reality, those similarities cry out for some explanation. Since these different individuals have a very diverse range of experience, something other than common experience alone just might account for the similarities of belief. In some cases we can fairly conclude that there is a common nature – some fundamental similarity in how human cognition works – that underlies broadly shared beliefs.
Series: Understanding Randomness
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Series: God and Creation
In this four part series, David Opderbeck explores the interesting relationship between God and his creation. He first looks at his transcendence over the material world. In one respect, God is completely distinct from all creation, yet he is also immanent, or present within all creation. Another aspect of God reflected in creation is his Triune nature. Just as love, fellowship, and delight exist within the Trinity, so these characteristics are present in the world, and experienced by humans. He completes his thoughts with a discussion about God's interaction with humans.
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Made in the Image of God: Human Values and Genomics
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Why Strict Atheism Is Unscientific
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
Can Science Ever Know Enough?
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
Series: Shaping the Human Soul
In Washington DC, Church of the Advent teamed up with The Trinity Forum to offer a series of lectures exploring the synergy between modern science and Christian Faith. This presentation by psychiatrist Curt Thompson and philosopher James K.A. Smith addressed the process of Christian discipleship and spiritual formation through the lens of neuroscience.
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
The Randomness Project
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
Dispatches From the Physicalist Frontier, Part 1
I'm a physicalist when it comes to human persons. I believe, in other words, that we are wholly physical objects. I don't believe there are non-physical souls in the natural world. So I don't believe that we are or have such non-physical souls as parts. I believe we are through-and-through physical.
Rediscovering Human Beings, Part 1
That we are animals is something we hardly needed Darwin to tell us. It is obvious from the fact that, like other animals, we have stomachs and skin, eyeballs and ears, limbs and teeth, muscles, brains, and other organs. Yet it doesn't follow that we are mere animals.
Body and Soul, Mind and Brain: Pressing Questions
"Bit by experimental bit," writes philosopher P. Churchland, "neuroscience is morphing our conception of what we are." For many, this includes dispensing with the "soul" in favor of biologically anchored processes.
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
Southern Baptist Voices: A Response to John Hammett, Part 1
The Scriptures teach that we human beings have been created in God's image. What does that mean? I am in substantial agreement with Dr. Hammett on this question.
Randomness and Evolution: Is There Room for God? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the idea of randomness as a part of natural selection, and whether it challenges the possibility of God using the evolutionary process as a means of creation.
What is Scientism?
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
Series: The God Who Acts: Robert John Russell on Divine Intervention and Divine Action
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.

Listeners everywhere will revel in this sharp-witted, well-meaning whirlwind in author Dina Silver's hilarious new novel, Kat Fight. In her quest for love, Kat makes every wrong turn, juggling two men, one best friend, and her own deeply confused heart's desires.
Kat Porter is a consummate romantic, eager for her chance to find love and commitment. But after her boyfriend of four years, Marc, begins to grow apathetic and sends her calls straight to voicemail one too many times, Kat finally musters the courage to confront her so-called sweetheart, who seems more interested in dodging her than courting her. Though she's no fan of ultimatums, Kat is at the end of her considerable wits, and lobs a massive one his way, completely confident that he'll make the right decision when faced with losing her. He doesn't.
With radio silence from Marc, Kat's lifelong dream of finding a husband and forging a family is decidedly on the skids. That's when her childhood friend Julie steps in, forcing Kat on a blind date to help her move beyond the break-up. Not only does Kat botch the setup, she instead finds herself in hot pursuit of Julie's love interest, Ryan Sullivan. A man who, in addition to literally taking her breath away, is the living, breathing personification of everything Kat wants in a husband.
Can Kat connect with the man of her dreams without hurting two of the people she cares most about? At the same time, she must also contend with the quips of her beloved catty coworker Adam, her bi-polar boss Brooke, and a string of comic, unpredictable plot twists. All the while, Kat's cheeky perspective and generous heart will leave readers adoring every moment of her journey while chuckling and cheering for the ever cute, razor-sharp Kat as she fights to land the love of a lifetime.

When I clean, drive or exercise I listen to romance. The steamier the better but it must have a great story as well!
"Charming fun story"
This was a fun little story that was just a joy to listen too. The quirkiness reminds me of Sophie Kinsella's style writing. NO detailed sex scenes, not even detailed hot and heavy kissing. Probably rated PG or PG 13. Cute and light valentines day listen! Enjoy!
"Easy Listen"
First time I have ever listend to Dina Silver and I was pleased to find it easy to listen to. The book was just right in leaving some things to the imagination. I am excited about listening to the next book.

Digitising my old transparenciesHaving given some thought to scanner/slide copiers, at this stage I conclude that a suitable bellows unit on a digital SLR is the best option...however I have neither
(I have a load of old Fujichrome, ektachrome & kodachrome treasured slides.)
Re: Digitising my old transparenciesThis is a tough one. You want to do the job right but it's generally a one-off procedure, so buying the gear to do it is an expense that's hard to justify. Any second hand high quality scanners out there I wonder or even a service that can do the work for you?
Re: Digitising my old transparenciesI've seen a bellows unit + DSLR work v well indeed & may have to borrow a pal's setup one day.
It's been a long time since I lugged around a bag of SLR gear. These days it has to be a pocketable digicam....Canon S90 presently.
Re: Digitising my old transparencies
I'm with you. I went from dragging a bag with a DSLR body and at least three lenses around with me all over the place to just the DSLR and a 35mm lens to a Canon S95. Simple works, especially if you've actually got the camera on you when you need it, instead of a bag full of kit sitting at home.
Re: Digitising my old transparenciesI have years of negs and slides from the 70's-90's before going digital. Currently have a Nikon D90. Couple of lenses but mostly use the 35/1.8 as I love it for taking photos without flash when my kids are performing with their bands.
Anyway, back on track, I did actually go through the process over many months of scanning them. Scans weren't great but I needed them as the original prints were being stored in some crappy photo albums that were discolouring. All my new albums are Henzo. Expensive but beautiful. I just used an Epson 3in1 machine that came with a neg and slide holder. I re-printed about 400 6x4 images at Harvey Norman. Results were OK but nowhere as good as originals. But hey, I did it myself and I've saved many years of important images. I considered buying a better neg scanner but I Ashley in that it's only a one-off exercise so why spend thousands on getting a machine to do a high-quality scan. And if it's only going to be for a 6x4 family shot then .... Different story if you were going to blow-up to A3 size or enter in competitions etc. LP12/Ittok/Benz Wood, Moon phono, CAL CD/DAC
Sonic Frontiers valve pre and SFS-40 power amp, AQ i/c Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M spkrs with Kimber cable Oppo Bluray to Bravia 40" And various guitars, amps, drums, pianos which I don't play!
Re: Digitising my old transparenciesHaving worked in Pre-Press during the time of the drum scanner it's a shame to see this skill disappearing from the world of photography.
As Owen said probably a decent DSLR/bellows set-up would be a decent solution, although you can purchase film/tranny flatbed scanners off places like TradeMe - http://www.trademe.co.nz/Electronics-ph ... 977349.htm Then there is the question of colour correction and retouching once your scans are on the desktop. Not an easy task in itself... Audiophilia 101: Nerdy twits sitting in sweaty lounges listening intently to their stereos with their eyes closed whilst forming a perfect equilateral triangle between seating position and loudspeakers in the pursuit of the ultimate musical truth.
Re: Digitising my old transparenciesRetouching old shots is something else that is attractive if I can get the slides scanned, esp the treasured ones!
Glenn, I spent most of my yrs with a 35/f2 main lens as I love 'avail light' shooting too &... Ashley, As you will prob know, one of the S90's strengths is low light shooting, I've found...I've had v good nightclub shots up to ISO6400/8000.
Re: Digitising my old transparenciesNikon Coolscan film scanners pop up on TradeMe every now and then, usually between $400 and $800. Be worth buying, scan at your leisure, then flick it off on TradeMe again. Chances are you won't lose any dosh, maybe even make a little when you sell it again if you're lucky.

Re: Digitising my old transparencies
That's a plan! If you could find a few mates who have the same requirements, you could all chip in for the cost and then sell the thing when you're all done with it.
The best lens I own is my Nikon 35mm F2. They can pry it from my cold hands...love that thing. Focuses super close, sharp as a pin and quick to boot. As far as low light shooting goes, isn't that new Canon 10MP sensor from the S90/G11 onwards a revelation? It makes the sensor in the G10 I used to own look like it was designed in 1993...
Re: Digitising my old transparenciesI have indeed found that the S90 excels in low light situations - I use Candlelight mode often....
This shot taken in a nightclub, @ ISO3200 1/50 F2.0, not bad for a genuinely pocketable camera...

Publicity is the topic for the third Bad Metaphor podcast. John and Chris talk about what is good and bad about publicity, how to become famous, meeting famous people, and making a stand.
We start out by talking about publicity and what it means to be famous and how it is possible to become famous. John explains his theory of "The F Cycle" using the example of a lemonade stand. We move on to famous people we've met or not met including filmmaker Jim Jarmusch and writer Sheree Fitch. One good way to get publicity is to take a stand and John tells a story about Martin Luther King and segregation and Chris talks about working on the film "When Voices Rise…" which told the story of the end of segregation in Bermuda. Then John thinks about Tod Maffin listening to the show and we wrap it all up.

I decided to start a project a while back to generate an image created by every brush, PASeq, Image Operation etc. provided by Studio Artist as a Factory default. I figured this would be a great learning exercise in figure out what all the brushes were minimally capable of.
I used the directory structure and brush/procedure name for each image to make it easier in figuring out what each operation is capable of.
Little did I realize what a challenge this was going to be. Currently I have 4,432 images.
It's by no means complete. I have to finish off some categories, (Vectorizer, Temporal Image Operation, Dual Mode Paint), and I also have to redo some images that didn't lend themselves to automation.
Take a look and see for yourselves:
Let me know if you think this would be a valuable resource and I'll make the whole series available for download. cheap.
This is a great idea. I book marked it as a reference.
Just noticed this today, Tony.
A humongous undertaking! It's evident that a lot of time and effort was put into this--beautifully organized and executed!
Did notice what looked like some blank/semi blank canvases, though, but you said you had to redo some images...the finished product should be dazzling! Thanks for sharing.
Regarding some blank, semi blank canvases in the previews.
Some paint presets might not make sense when just run with the action button. For example, anything designed to work via loop action processing over time in an animation (like time particle) is not going to display well when run as a single action via gallery show.
Other paint presets might be designed to modify an existing canvas (as opposed to adding new color). So again, if you start with a solid color canvas it might not be obvious in the automatically generated preview images what the paint preset really does.
I appreciate the feedback!
John is absolutely correct, -some of the presets do not work when run via auto. I felt though that it was more expedient to run through the entire list once and then go back and adjust as necessary. Some categories, ( spiro's for instance ) will be removed complete. Others are being redone.
It's a start.
I have my version setup so that each picture is in the same directory as the preset. Very handy when quickly looking for a preset visually.
What would be better would be figuring out how to associate a preset's icon, with the jpg of it's sample. IE, having Movies_Natural-Media_Oil-and-Sketch.jpg appear as the icon for the Movies_Natural-Media_Oil-and-Sketch preset
We've been talking about adding a feature for the future where you could include preset help files directly in the preset folder with specific presets.
You can do it now using your 'custom' help folder and the integrated help browser, but it currently requires someone to be technically proficient in html (see the Custom HTML Help Pages section of this tip). And the help is separate from the preset file itself, referencing it via a help browser command link.
So we'll think about jpg sample references for this potential future feature.
back before v4, and before the gallery show, I started a project to make a single PASeq that would run through all the paint presets. I have posted that PASeq before, but it seems useful to re-post it here. I will note that because of the gallery show I stopped without finishing, however the advantage of the GrandPas as I called it is that it illustrates both path draw and auto draw for each of the presets covered. Any one that wants to could continue the effort, though the value over running a gallery show is marginal.
You could use gallery show to automatically make a large PASeq that runs through all of the new presets. Just turn on history recording, and setup the gallery show preference Technique Scan Option to cycle +.
Sorry for not responding sooner but I just saw you comments. I'll look into getting you the collection. Right now there are 4400+ pics so I'm trying to figure out how best to provide them.
I have a shared dropbox folder set up. They allow 2 free GBs, so I set up a shared folder and dumped a zip file containing all the pics into it. it's a relatively small file , (570 MB ), and took me about 30 seconds to upload it.
Paypal works nicely for me and you don't need an account. I just need your email address so I can share the dropbox folder. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com. email me your address and I'll share out the folder to that address. All you'll need to do is open up a dropbox account, ( free ), and the file will be waiting for you. I'll charge $45, which I think I a bargain. You can deposit the money into my paypal account, using my email address as the account name
Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them
