Dear Editor:
Last week's DCI account of the League of Women Voters' school board forum, while fairly accurate, missed one very important difference among the candidates and that is competition in education also known as vouchers.
I know of no other way to force change for the better than competition.
Any organization will defend itself and resist change especially if it involves changes in personnel levels. But let me just illustrate the magnitude of the problem as I did at the forum. Our per pupil funding with state equalization and local property taxes is about $7,000 per student. If a class size of 20 can be maintained either directly or with the addition of remote classrooms, that's $140,000 per classroom.
Teacher's salary plus benefits is $45,000, so that leaves $95,000 per classroom for heating, lighting, maintenance, aides and busses. I think a much better job can be done at a much lower cost with those funds, but it will take competition to show the way. I would vote for vouchers once the last hurdle of the Supreme Court is passed in a few months (the Court of Appeals has already ruled in favor of vouchers). The voters should know that Tammy Smith, my opponent, opposes outside competition and vouchers. As was pointed out in the DCI front page article I oppose Common Core as it straightjackets the future and limits local control; Tammy Smith voted for it. I oppose the billion dollar tax increase Amendment 66 and Tammy is for it.
Please bear this in mind as you cast your ballot.
Mike Mason
School Board
Editor's note: The DCI asked Tammy Smith to clarify her position on the issues raised by Mike Mason in this letter. Her response follows:
I am not sure where Mr. Mason got his information on my position of these different issues. Let me take this opportunity to clarify some of Mr. Mason's misconceptions regarding where I stand on certain issues.
Mr. Mason says I oppose outside competition. This is totally not true as evidenced by the number of choices students and parents have come to enjoy in our school district (i.e. traditional, charter, an opportunity school in multiple communities, Montessori, DAAL and the support of parental decision to home school.
Mr. Mason stated that I voted for Common Core. I have never voted for Common Core. I supported the adoption of the Colorado Academic Standards. Our current curriculum has been developed totally by Delta County teachers. With the input from parent and community through the accountability process I felt this gave us total local control and in my opinion this has truly been a grassroots effort.
As far as Mr. Mason's statement that I favor Amendment 66, I have no idea why he makes that statement. I have remained neutral on this position and have encouraged people who ask to please research and get as much information on the amendment that they can. I feel we need to listen to the voters.
In closing I would like to state that in my opinion a school board member must be willing and able to put aside personal and political philosophies and make the best decisions you can based on input from parents, students, staff and the various communities. I have always tried to do this and promise to continue. I will look at every issue separately and make the best decision at the time for Delta County children.

Sears Discounts Jewelry For Holiday Season
Filed under: Jewelry
Will this year be a jewelry holiday? Last year was an annus horribilis for the jewelry industry and everyone from the high-end couture brands to the department store chains was stuck with a lot of inventory and forced to make deep discounts. For jewelry brands the combination of year-end holiday pressure and frantic male shoppers is typically a win and so many brands are making the big push now hoping for a last minute boost. While Sears isn't where you might normally consider doing jewelry shopping they can be a great resources for simple pieces like gold hoops or stud earrings.

Cigarette Lighters
This advice is designed to provide basic guidance to traders. It is not a complete or authoritative statement of the law. A large print version is available.
- From the 11 March 2007 there is a ban on the placing on the European market of novelty lighters and lighters without a child-resistant mechanism. This only affects those who import or manufacture cigarette lighters.
- Retailers can, for the time being, continue to sell non child-resistant lighters and novelty lighters already in the supply chain, but it is very likely they will be totally banned after 11 March 2008.
'Already in the supply chain' means that the imported lighters have cleared Customs, and lighters made in the EU have left the manufacturer and are ready for general distribution.
Retailers may still be able to buy non child-resistant lighters from your wholesaler or supplier. These, and existing stock can legally be sold to the public, until the total ban comes in. However, all cigarette lighters sold must be safe and meet the requirements of the standard EN 9994:1996 or a later version.
If re-stocking with child-resistant lighters, retailers must be able to show a Trading Standards Officer where those lighters came from, if asked.
A useful booklet on child-resistant and novelty lighter requirements has been issued by BIS - Department for Business Innovation & Skills (formally BERR).
or by phoning 0845 015 0010 and quoting reference URN 06/2116.
Lighters are consumer products which are inherently hazardous, since they produce a flame and contain a fuel. They pose a serious risk when
misused by children and have caused a number of deaths and injuries across the EU.
A decision was made by the European Commission, which has been introduced into the UK, to ensure that only child resistant lighters are placed onto the European market and also to prohibit the sale of novelty lighters.
Implications for manufacturers and importers
Must retain documentation demonstrating that the lighters comply with the relevant standards
Lighters must be child resistant i.e. cannot be operated by a child under 51 month
- No novelty lighter can be placed on the European market for the first time. A novelty lighter:
- Is appealing to children younger than 51 months;
- May have entertaining audio effects or animated effects;-
- May have flashing lights, moving objects or other entertaining features;
- May be of appealing shape or form e.g. toys, food and human body parts; or Includes lighter holders.
Lighters must still continue to meet the safety specifications detailed in BS EN ISO 9994:2006,
as well as the additional child resistant requirements laid down in BS EN 13869: 2002.
Implications for retailers and wholesalers
- Required to keep, and to show on request by their local authority Trading Standards authority, documentation identifying the party from whom they obtained their supply of lighters.
- Lighters must be properly marked before they can be sold to consumers.
What is exempt?
It is mandatory for all lighters to comply with BS EN ISO 9994 - lighter safety standard, however all lighters except the following must also comply with the child-resistance safety requirements of the Decision.
- Lighters with a specific purpose e.g. barbecue and utility lighters;
- Lighters which are sold with a 2 year written guarantee, are refillable and can be repaired by a European-based after-sales service.
There are no exceptions for novelty lighters; all supply is prohibited.
Lighters which are printed with logos or have shrink wrapped artwork are not classed as novelty lighters.
What simple tests can be carried out to ensure the lighter meets the safety requirements?
- Take a look at the lighter, does it resemble a novelty lighter:
- A shape or form that is appealing to children under 51 months;
- Entertaining effects.
- Check that all lighters are accompanied with the appropriate safety information and the specific word "WARNING" in close proximity. Along with the relevant safety information, it should also contain the statements
- KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN" and "Ignite lighter away from face and clothing".
- Check that each lighter is marked with the time period of manufacture, this can be in code, and that the manufacturer can be identified.
- Press the ignition system to check for child resistance. Consider whether a child of 51 months or younger would be able to operate it.

"Oddly, one never hears Republicans praise those countries where people are lucky duckies — those where taxation is a small fraction of what it is here."
I'd Rather Be an Unlucky Ducky
Bruce Bartlett
Equatorial Guinea: According to the Republican-leaning Heritage Foundation, those who live in this small country in sub-Saharan Africa are lucky duckies indeed. Because of recently discovered oil deposits, the citizens of Equatorial Guinea pay less than 1 percent of the gross domestic product in taxes. The comparable figure for the United States is 26.9 percent of G.D.P., according to Heritage.
However, Equatorial Guinea doesn't seem to be a very pleasant place to live. The people are poor and have little freedom. Heritage says that "persistent institutional weaknesses impede creation of a more vibrant private sector" and "the rule of law is weak." This sounds suspiciously as if government is too small to do its job properly. But I'm sure that the citizens of Equatorial Guinea don't mind having a dysfunctional government; after all, they're lucky duckies.
Myanmar: The people who live in this small country in Southeast Asia are also lucky duckies, if not quite as lucky as those in Equatorial Guinea. According to Heritage, taxes in Myanmar are 3 percent of G.D.P.
Oddly, this also doesn't sound like someplace one would want to live. Heritage says "longstanding structural problems include poor public finance management and undeveloped legal and regulatory frameworks." Apparently, the government doesn't protect property rights very well, the infrastructure is poor, and there is a lot of corruption. But at least the people get to keep almost all their earnings.
Libya: Why the people revolted in this North African fiscal paradise is a mystery. According to Heritage, government revenues are just 3.4 percent of G.D.P.
Chad: Heritage says the people of this African nation pay just 5.3 percent of G.D.P. in taxes. But for some reason, the nation is mired in poverty. Perhaps because, as Heritage says, "the efficiency and quality of government remain poor." I wonder why.
Republic of Congo: The people of this country in Africa also pay 5.3 percent of G.D.P. to the government. But it is also very poor. Heritage says a key reason is "the government has failed to provide basic public goods and infrastructure." This doesn't really make much sense by the logic of Republican candidates, who seem to agree that all government spending is bad unless it goes to the Defense Department and that public works are nothing but worthless pork.
(via manicchill)
This, to me, is pretty much a direct refutation of the Anarcho-Capitalist school of Libertarianism. According to the popular wisdom of that school, minimal regulation and taxation should be causing these countries to thrive. And yet their standard of living compared to 1st-world countries with strong central governments is abysmal.
With that being said: you could very reasonably make the argument that the minimal governments of these countries are nonetheless oppressive and larcenous, so what little wealth is accumulated in the market tends to be appropriated by the elites. But the question then becomes *how* that wealth is being appropriated; is it through official channels? Then it would show up as taxation. Is it through thuggery? Then how could the problem be solved without reverting to Somalia-style balkanization (which is better only when compared to the more awful government preceding it)?
The question, then, is one of form: without a strong Constitution to limit government power, and an intellectually vibrant, Independent Judiciary to keep government in check, there is no way for the rights of citizens to be guaranteed as against their unscrupulous peers, and as against the government itself.
All of these mechanisms, of course, cost money. A minimalist State can be just as dangerous to Liberty and freedom as an oppressive one. Norway, whose government accounts for 40% of its GDP, nonetheless has a very libertine criminal justice system. There can be no question that people in Norway are more free than even people in the U.S. (who live under the Patriot Act, the War on Drugs, and the Military Commissions Act). Yet the U.S. government accounts for closer to 20% of GDP.
Does that mean government spending as a % of GDP is dispositive with respect to freedom? Of course not. Form matters. But if you aren't bringing in enough tax revenue to support the "right" form, then Bartlett's observation is right: you end up with a government too weak to provide a mechanism for enforcing the rights of its own citizens (i.e. an independent and well-funded judiciary paired with an enumerated Constitution).

apache wont start
the PHP module from Marc Liyanage's site Marc has confirmed that there's a conflict. Presumably the php module supplied by Apple will work with mod_dav.I have found what appears to be a conflict between your PHP4 module and the WebDAV server included in 10.2. When both mod_dav your module are enabled, httpd restart fails with a bunch of XML errors.
I can say for sure the Apple mod_php works with DAV.
where can you get the apple mod_php (if you've already replaced it with mark Linage's module)
if you check Marc Liyanage page he suggests to load his PHP module only AFTER you load the DAV module (same for addmodule). At least his work for me and I am able to start apache again. I still have not been able to upload my calendar from ical but I have still the night a head.
regards Robert
apache wont start
Make sure you use Marc's Jaguar compile of PHP. Also make sure DAV is enabled and loaded after PHP
apache wont start
This worked for me. I'm using Marc's PHP4 module and apache wouldn't restart until I changed the order of LoadModule and AddModule to force PHP to load FIRST. |

Weekend Beach Trip
Warning: Another photo overload post (I know, I know, how's that different than normal?! They pretty much all are…)
I have been promising to blog about this for several weeks now, but that also meant I had to go through all the photos first, so I have just now had the time to do that! I know I say it all the time, but I can't believe how busy a 9.5 month old keeps me…and she's not even walking yet! :)
The last weekend in September, Jon, Hadley, my parents and I took a nowhere near long enough short weekend beach trip to Pawley's Island, SC. We had never been there before, but I think it's safe to say that this will not be our last trip there…it was gorgeous! And nowhere near as crowded as Myrtle/North Myrtle/Cherry Grove, where we have been going for years. Anyway, the plan was to leave early Friday morning to get there around lunch time and have the afternoon on the beach… but long story short, we didn't make it out of here until around lunch time (Jon ended up working until 3 a.m. the night before) so we got to the hotel around 4 p.m., which luckily was still enough time to go check out the beach!
It was a nice afternoon, so after getting our stuff unpacked, etc., we went on a long walk on the beach. This time, Hadley at the beach was SO different than the first (she had just turned 6 months old when we went back in June). She loved watching the ocean and the birds, and just kept laughing and squealing (the true sign of excitement for her). She even got a nice long ride on Daddy's shoulders…and loved that, too. One thing she was not too sure about was the sand…when we let her stand in it, she kept picking her feet up and staring at them like "what in the world is this stuff?!".
Side note before these next pics because I know people will wonder…the night before this, H and I went on a nice long walk around the neighborhood, and she (and I) got attacked by mosquitoes. Poor thing!
Funny story…Jon's Grandpa Aldridge loves to tell about how when Jon was little he used to ride on his shoulders and would always hold onto and pull on his ears. It appears Hadley is paying him back for that! :)
While on our walk, I took the opportunity to snap a few pics of Hadley with my parents ("Pop" and "Meemaw" to Hadley). I realized that somehow in 9 months, I didn't have a single photo of the two of them together with her! I am going to have to do better with that. Anyway, I LOVE these photos. It is so apparent how much they love her!
After our walk, we headed in to get ready and went out to one of the restaurants my family always went to every year growing up, Drunken Jack's in Murrells Inlet. It was just as delicious as I remembered… and Hadley LOVED her first taste of hush puppies! :)
After dinner, we headed back to the hotel, gave H a bath, read some books and then it was bed time for all of us—we were exhausted!
The next day, H and I had a delicious breakfast at the hotel with my parents while Jon slept in—he was so tired (after working so late the night before)! Then, it was time to hit the beach!
Jon came out to play for the first couple of hours, and they had a ball playing on the towel with her toys.
For some reason, she thought it was really fun to play in the sand this way…
We decided to let her walk around in the sand for a little while… and she was just not too sure about it on her feet!
She wasn't too sure about sitting in it, either…
We found a little puddle for her to sit in. Bad idea. She was getting tired at this point (almost nap time), and she was really not happy with us for putting her in it. Bless her heart. ;)
I rinsed her off in the ocean and she was happy again, but it was time for her nap! It worked out perfectly because it was also time for the NC State football game (which no beach would keep Jon from watching…) so the two of them went up to the room and I got some much needed time in the sun!
H woke up around halftime of the football game, and after feeding her lunch, Jon brought her back down. She was in the BEST mood and had a BALL playing on the towel…for several hours!
And of course she got some love from Meemaw.
And H's face in this one makes me laugh!! So serious. And those thighs!
Finally, the game was over (still don't want to talk about it…State blew it) and Jon came back out to hang out with us for a little while. We played some more in the sand and water, but my camera battery died shortly thereafter. :( Anyway, we had a great afternoon and perfect beach day!
We ate dinner at Austins Ocean One, which was actually in our hotel and a little nicer than we expected—H's first "fine dining" experience! I am sure that when we walked in with a baby, everyone there was thinking "grrrrrreat", but she was a perfect angel and smiled and talked to the people sitting next to us and our waitress the whole time. She loved getting tons of bites of the food we were eating (it was DELICOUS—I cannot possibly rave enough about this restaurant…if you are ever in Myrtle/Murrells Inlet/Pawleys Island, do yourself a favor and GO—I have been to many, many good restaurants and this one is near the top of the list).
Sunday morning, it was cooold and rainy (boo), but we weren't too sad since we needed to head home anyway. We said that next time we go to the beach for a "long weekend", we need to go for at least three nights (preferably four), because two was just not long enough…we only really got one full beach day! We had a blast, though, and it was nice to get away for a weekend and for H to get some QT with her grandparents.
Hope everyone has had a great week, so happy tomorrow is Friday! H and I have MOPS in the morning, and then the Aldridges are heading to LKN tomorrow for the weekend for some fun with my family (I think all 17 of us will be there…big families are the best!). Looking forward to enjoying a nice fall weekend!

Protecting Yourself Online
ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- Most college students thirst knowledge but one thing they usually don't teach you in the college classroom is that what you do online can come back to haunt you.
Philadelphia based attorney C.L. Lindsay travels the country talking to students about how to stay out of trouble when you go online. Monday night Lindsay was at Rockford College covering such issues as Facebook rights, online privacy, plagiarism and cyber bullying. And Lindsay tells us the single best piece advice he gives at these classes is simply put don't be stupid.
"Which means if you wouldn't do it off-line, don't do it online. 99.99% of the time that's going to keep you out of trouble. So the big example is if you wouldn't print out a picture or a poster of you doing something illegal all over campus, don't put it up on line because it's going to have almost the same effect," Lindsay said.
Lindsay says people think they have a lot more right to privacy than they actually do. So if you are at work don't ever send messages even in an e-mail that you wouldn't want your employer to see.

Lentil Salad
This is a very flavorful salad, if you use all ingredients. My 20 month old loved this salad from the start, I on the other hand took a little while to get used to the semi-crunchy lentils. I really enjoy the Udo's oil in this recipe and my skin feels great from the oils the next day!
This is another recipe from the Carol Alt book.
"Tuna" Salad
Very filling. This is one of the first raw meals that we tried and actually liked. Sometimes we put it on RAWvolution's Famous Onion Bread (can be found on this website under onion bread) with some sliced tomato. So yummy! This recipe came from the Carol Alt book.
Red Lentil Salad
This is a crunchy savory salad that pairs with almost any dish.
Spanish Rice
This recipe is taken from How We All Went Raw by
Charles Nungesser and Stephen Malachi
Tropical Fruit Salad
This fruit salad is one of my kids' favorite. Of course, you can add any fruit of your choice. In the summer we add raspberries and/or strawberries. ENJOY!

NFL: Jets GM will have the floor
The Record
While Seattle hasn't been averse to trading picks for players such as Marshawn Lynch and former Jet Leon Washington, it also has traded down and had numerous picks in the later rounds in recent years. It will be interesting to see if Idzik shared those philosophies or if he will reinvent himself somewhat with a new team. Trades for big-name players make a splash, and despite his continued protests to the contrary, Johnson likes making headlines whenever possible.

Filed under: Marketing/Advertising , Videos , Crossover , Toyota Toyota has released a 35-second teaser video for its upcoming Super Bowl spot staring Kaley Cuoco, the actress best known for her role as object-of-nerd-affection Penny on The Big Bang Theory . The real star of the ad, however, is its soundtrack, the 1995 hit "I Wish" by rapper Skee-Lo that will have your mind cashing nostalgia checks the moment it hits your ears. We still don't know much about the content, plot or story of this Super Bowl commercial, though we can say that its object of promotion is likely the new RAV4 we see Ms. Cuoco driving in it. The rest of the time she's walking the street in a purple get-up granting wishes like Robin Williams on a Disney sound stage. And then the Easter Bunny and a chihuahua enter the picture and we get lost. Clint Eastwood under a bridge this is not. But hey, Super Bowl ads cost millions and millions of dollars to produce and air, so we trust that Toyota spent its money wisely and will have us ROFLing on game day. Until then, scroll down and witness for yourself the debut of Kaley Cuoco as a Toyota spokeswoman.

28 March 2013
Good quality but not much of a mixed selection
A good quality product, lasts for a week usually, but I am quite annoyed about the fact that there isn't much of selection. The bag usually contains green peppers and an odd red one, and once all I received was green. Selection should be improved. Would recommend it if all you want is green peppers.
