Encoder.GetBytes Method (Char[], Int32, Int32, Byte[], Int32, Boolean)
When overridden in a derived class, encodes a set of characters from the specified character array and any characters in the internal buffer into the specified byte array. A parameter indicates whether to clear the internal state of the encoder after the conversion.
Namespace: System.Text
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public abstract int GetBytes( char[] chars, int charIndex, int charCount, byte[] bytes, int byteIndex, bool flush )
- chars
- Type: System.Char[]
The character array containing the set of characters to encode.
- charIndex
- Type: System.Int32
The index of the first character to encode.
- charCount
- Type: System.Int32
The number of characters to encode.
- bytes
- Type: System.Byte[]
The byte array to contain the resulting sequence of bytes.
- byteIndex
- Type: System.Int32
The index at which to start writing the resulting sequence of bytes.
- flush
- Type: System.Boolean
true to clear the internal state of the encoder after the conversion; otherwise, false.
Exception | Condition |
ArgumentNullException | chars is null (Nothing). -or- bytes is null (Nothing). |
ArgumentOutOfRangeException | charIndex or charCount or byteIndex is less than zero. -or- charIndex and charCount do not denote a valid range in chars. -or- byteIndex is not a valid index in bytes. |
ArgumentException | bytes does not have enough capacity from byteIndex to the end of the array to accommodate the resulting bytes. |
EncoderFallbackException | A fallback occurred (see Character Encoding in the .NET Framework for fuller explanation) -and- Fallback is set to EncoderExceptionFallback. |
Remember that the Encoder object saves state between calls to GetBytes. When the application is done with a stream of data, it should set the flush parameter to true in the last call to GetBytes to make sure that the state information is flushed and that the encoded bytes are properly terminated. With this setting, the encoder ignores invalid bytes at the end of the data block, such as unmatched surrogates or incomplete combining sequences, and clears the internal buffer.
To calculate the exact buffer size that GetBytes requires to store the resulting characters, the application should use GetByteCount.
If GetBytes is called with flush set to false, the encoder stores trailing bytes at the end of the data block in an internal buffer and uses them in the next encoding operation. The application should call GetByteCount on a block of data immediately before calling GetBytes on the same block, so that any trailing characters from the previous block are included in the calculation.
If your application is to convert many segments of an input stream, consider using the Convert method. GetBytes will throw an exception if the output buffer isn't large enough, but Convert will fill as much space as possible and return the chars read and bytes written. Also see the Encoding.GetBytes topic for more comments.
The following example demonstrates how to encode a range of elements from a character array and store the encoded bytes in a range of elements in a byte array. The GetByteCount method is used to determine the size of the array required by GetBytes.
using System; using System.Text; class EncoderExample { public static void Main() { Byte[] bytes; // Unicode characters. Char[] chars = new Char[] { '\u0023', // # '\u0025', // % '\u03a0', // Pi '\u03a3' // Sigma }; Encoder uniEncoder = Encoding.Unicode.GetEncoder(); int byteCount = uniEncoder.GetByteCount(chars, 0, chars.Length, true); bytes = new Byte[byteCount]; int bytesEncodedCount = uniEncoder.GetBytes(chars, 0, chars.Length, bytes, 0, true); Console.WriteLine( "{0} bytes used to encode characters.", bytesEncodedCount ); Console.Write("Encoded bytes: "); foreach (Byte b in bytes) { Console.Write("[{0}]", b); } Console.WriteLine(); } } /* This code example produces the following output. 8 bytes used to encode characters. Encoded bytes: [35][0][37][0][160][3][163][3] */

I was looking for help to build a website that would not cost a fortune but would help to make my consultancy business look more professional. Toolkit listened to what I wanted, they asked many questions in order to really understand what my specific needs are. Once a cost was agreed, I was supported by two key people, one who managed all of the e-mail and domain stuff! This was beyond me in many ways but I was supported and assured that I was not the only one who did not feel comfortable with this technical side. I was taken through this process at my pace. As for the design of the website, I worked with one person who requested each section from me in stages. She never hurried me and only progressed to the next stage when I was completely "delighted"! This was a real learning journey for me that was supported by very well trained professionals. I cannot recommend Toolkit highly enough.

Learn at the MCA
At the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, we like to share our passion for and knowledge of contemporary art with as many people as possible, no matter where they live around Australia.
With input from our specially trained Artist Educators, we develop a range of learning programs for school students and teachers, families, young people, adult learners of all ages and backgrounds and visitors with specific needs. The breadth of offerings range from practical and theoretical schools programs, to creative programs for children and families, social and cultural events for young people, and major public lectures themed around MCA exhibitions, and contemporary issues in the visual arts, design, architecture or film. Access to cutting-edge video conferencing facilities allows us to take our content to communities in regional and remote parts of Australia, giving the MCA a truly national reach.
MCA creative learning programs encourage visitors to colour outside the lines, to experiment, take risks and play with process. Artists contribute as thinkers and creators and inspire our audiences to respond to contemporary art in new ways. MCA Learning programs acknowledge that every visitor brings their own background story and can take away their own fresh meaning from their encounter with art.

Switch to recyclable poultry packs provides industry roadmap
Calculating the benefits
The switch to FBA-certified recyclable packaging is only one component of the sustainable packaging transition. The switch in packaging methods from ice-packed poultry to MAP packaging will result in significant water and energy savings, CORR relates.
The box size was reduced, and all wax was eliminated from the box, reducing the use of corrugated and petroleum products. If all of the newly designed boxes were recycled, the greenhouse gas benefit from source reduction and recycling the boxes would be 100,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually. That's according to calculations using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's WAste Reduction Model (WARM) tool. This savings assumes that 100% of the boxes generated are recycled.
In addition, the switch from ice-packed poultry to MAP is estimated to save millions of gallons of water annually. Combined, these innovations also improve efficiency, streamline operations, and provide a safer work environment, says CORR.
Larry Saywell, Mountaire's vice president of marketing and sales, says, "Mountaire Farms is an agricultural company, and we are heavily dependent upon the earth's natural resources for the continued success of our business. This project maintains and conserves these natural resources and is consistent with our company's 'way of being.' We fully recognize the positive impact of this project's success on the futures of our people, our farmers, our suppliers, our community, and our business."
It is estimated that 1.5 million tons of non-recyclable wax-coated corrugated boxes are discarded in the U.S. each year. If coated corrugated boxes were designed for recycling and then were recycled, a greenhouse gas savings of 5 million mtCO2e, equivalent to removing 1 million passenger vehicles from the road, would be realized, and U.S. grocers and restaurateurs could save $63 million annually in avoided disposal fees.
(According to the U.S. EPA Municipal Solid Waste Facts and Figures, 31 million tons of old corrugated containers [OCC] is discarded each year. The FBA estimates that 5% of OCC is wax-coated. EPA WARM Tool and Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator were used to calculate potential greenhouse gas savings. National restaurateur and grocers savings are based on a national average tipping fee of $42.08 based on the 2006 data in BioCycle's "State of Garbage" report.)
"To be competitive in today's world economy, our goal must be the sustainable use of materials," says Matt Hale, director of the U.S. EPA's Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery. "Producing materials that can be recovered and reused at end of life helps us achieve this goal."

I was ashamed to see that the two Democrats in the state Senate who voted against the landmark gun control legsislation Wednesday were both from eastern Connecticut. Sen. Cathy Osten's nay vote did not surprise me. Maybe it's a former prison guard's take on the issue. I was especially disappointed with the nay vote from Andrew Maynard of Stonington, who seems to be pandering to the rural extremes of his district. Surely the only magazines his neighbors in Stonington Borough are comfortable with are the New Yorker and Vanity Fair.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am a 6th grade APP student at Hamilton and I don't like it here at all. I only like one of my five teachers. I cannot work well their at all. Both of the 6th grade science teachers this year are bad. I am hoping to transfer schools next year because I dislike it so much. Its a nice looking and well funded school for sure but its not as good education wise for me.
My daughter will attend this school next year. I am interested in knowing more. This site won't let me read reviews until I write something here.
This school is amazing. The APP program is good if you have the right teacher, but the program itself isn't that hard. There isn't much homework and most of the students are only sleep deprived because of texting or playing video games. The student body is great, and they teach you useful skills. I had a great teacher, Mr. Moriarty, who encouraged everyone to work hard. His class was great and I've emerged a changed person. He also taught many skills about essay writing, such as a good essay takes 50 minutes to write, 10 for each paragraph. Mr. Pounder is also an amazing teacher. It's pretty easy overall, the math is really basic and I didn't have to study for anything.
I am a 7th grader in APP at Hamilton. There is a lot to like about it. The teachers are great, the music program is excellent (we beat eckstein in multiple competitions), and the students are very friendly. However, APP is a very difficult program. Students are given very large amounts of homework. Most of the APP students are quite sleep deprived and stressed. To succeed in APP requires serious dedication to homework. On an average day I get at least 3 hours of difficult homework. But the amount of learning that happens is amazing...I have already done algebra 1 and can write a five paragraph essay in 30 minutes. I am also quite knowledgable in history and I am in an advanced band. The skills we learn in APP are essential in real life. Outside of APP, there is much less homework.
Love the school everybody is very devoted at their work kids respect culture and there is no bullying at this school my child loves this school and so do I
So far our experience at Hamilton has been very good. Good communication from teachers, very involved principal, challenging curriculum. In some classes teachers use very innovative teaching methods such as an hands on physical representation of major battles of the Trojan war. Other classes are more standard but very solid. The facilities are exceptional. I would have given an excellent score however I feel that the school is in transition with a new principal and the kinks are still being worked out.Though it is just a matter of time for that to come together. The new principal is fantastic. Overall this is a great inner city school.
We were disappointed with Hamilton. While 3 or 4 of my son's teachers were excellent, 3 or 4 were incompetent, bullies, or both. The principal is more interested in showing that he is in charge than in any educational goals. The science courses were totally inadequate, and the math courses offerings were too limited, in spite of this school being one of the two Advanced Placement sites in the city.
My son is entering his second year at HIMS and I am very pleased with his experiences to date. The teaching quality is excellent (despite a dud of a teacher last year) and the administration is communicative and responsive. We're really quite happy with the program.
I've experienced great responsiveness from the principal and the counselor. My experiences with the teachers are highly variable: some are very e-mail oriented and good communicators; others seem more remote. The reality is though, even if everything at Hamilton were perfect, my daughter is having a difficult year transitioning from the safety and ease of having only one teacher in elementary school, whom she typically could have figured out how to wrap around her little finger. . .to five different teachers, each with their own quirks. There's a lot more expectations and a lot less patience for failure. Let's throw in a bit of puberty-induced attitude and a complete resistance to time management (avoidance of using the planner) and it's been a difficult year. Let's just say the our family and Hamilton continue to be working out the kinds.
As a parent of a student attending H.I.M.S. I echo the comments made by the parent who posted a review on Jan 11, 2010. There seems to be a real communication problem between parent-teacher and parent-administration. With the exception of one teacher at the school - our emails and phone calls have been ignored. Most recently we attempted to reach the student counselor by phone and left a message. Two weeks passed with no return call - when the counselor was finally reached by phone he apologized that he had been busy with something else. Had I not just happened to call when he was at his desk - would the call have ever been returned? The school office has routinely 'passed the buck' by requesting that we contact teachers directly via e-mail and > 90% of the time there is no response. HIMS communication? Epic fail!
I'm a hard working teacher at Hamilton. I put in long hours, meet with parents, organize extra curriculuar activities, take leadership roles in the building, and strive to design rigorous and engaging activities for ALL of my students. I feel fortunate to work with many colleagues who do the same. I hope that families who view this website take the positive and negative ratings with a grain of salt. No school is perfect or without its challenges. Over the last decade of my career at Hamiilton, I have seen a lot of progressive changes in both administration, academics, and electives. With the addition of the APP program, the newly remodeled building, the music program, and renewed dedication to academic excellence for all and an integrated international program, I expect to see the rating for Hamilton on this website increase. I'm excited for the future of Hamilton and proud to work there.
hiya im a 7th grader currently attending this school i would say that this is one of the best school in the district the teachers r soo nice and the students to i was gonna go 2 eckstein but not anymore and next year for us is gonna be a great year exsting and we have alot of fun and education at our school if we have problems we have teachers helping us :) hope hamilton comes up on the top
The most disappointing thing about Hamilton is the complete lack of approachability. By that I mean that despite statements on the school's website about how they welcome parental involvement, the truth--at least in my experience--is that requests to meet with teachers are ignored. Similarly emails to teachers or adminstration simply vanish into the ether. And if you try to meet with the assistant principal, odds are good that you will be ignored then, or otherwise brushed off, as well. Coming from a very responsive elementary school--where parental involvement was encouraged--its quite a disapointment. I can no longer dispute the negative information I was given by friends and colleagues about middle schools in Seattle.
Hamilton is the best school ever! I went to Hamilton Last Year as an eighth grader and love Hamilton now and forever!!
i am a 7th grader goin to hamilton right now and i personally think that this school is awsome i dont know about what ther parents are saying cause some of that is personal (such as about the princapal) and by the way we have a new prinipal also if u are readng this all of these posts are from over 2 years ago now they have a music program as good as eckstein (ok mabey not that good but pretty close!) i would definetly recomend this school because there are not many clicks and the teachers have alot of respect for the students and i just think this is a great school!!!!!! (by the way next year we will have a new really pretty school!)
I currently attend this school and I'm really glad I switched here. I've made so many good friends and I've learned alot. Most my teachers are wonderful and its really differce here. Not alot of cliques.
I was a new student on my eigth grade year and I would definetly encourage for you to go to Hamilton if you want a diverse and amazing school year experience. I also loved that at Hamilton there weren't a lot of cliques like other schools have, and it was very easy for me, as a new student, to make friends. Everyone is different so you don't have to worry about fitting in.
As a teacher at Hamilton, I believe that it is one of the better schools I've worked at. I feel bad that parents need to write such negative reviews about our school. Middle school is hard for kids, chemically their brains are changing and hormones rule their life. I feel that Hamilton, although it's not the prettiest building in the district, it has the best staff!
I am a teacher at Hamilton and I think it is unfair to judge an entire school by the limited knowledge a parent might have about their student's teachers. There are some wonderful teachers at SHIMS that integrate computers into their curriculum, that use digital and video storytelling, international exchange activities, hands-on labs, and science journals, reading and writing workshop, and a terrific Writers in the Schools program. There is a constant flow of artists in residence and an after school music program that provides a lot of individual attention given the size of the group. There are no text books for middle school immersion programs and the language teachers have worked very hard to develop a program on their own and should be commended. I rarely use text books which are canned and usually not that good. Hamilton has been improving and will only get better. Support the new facility.
Computers are not integrated into the classrooms. Japanese and Spanish are offerred but they have no text books for students. It is difficult to be involved with your child's education and impossible to get progress feedback from some of the teachers. They also do not incorporate basic skills such as organization, keyboarding, computer literacy, and the science curriculum is very lacking. The school is delapidated and it's social environment chaotic. I would not recommmend this school.

By Sarah Pringle, MarketWatch
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) – Canadian stocks rallied Tuesday after the long holiday weekend, as commodity and technology companies extended gains following Friday's encouraging U.S. jobs report.
"Canadian stocks have had a banner day today, catching up to their global peers and riding high on the crude oil and copper rallies," Colin Cieszynski, an analyst at CMC Markets Canada, wrote in a note.
What's all this about bond buying?
Fed official Eric Rosengren tells the Wall Street Journal that the central bank should be more aggressive about bond buying. How did that play out across the markets? Jonathan Cheng discusses on Markets Hub. (Photo: Reuters)
Toronto's benchmark equities index /quotes/zigman/20942/realtime CA:GSPTSE +0.02% jumped 200.91 points, or 1.7%, to finish at 11,863.50.
Leading sectors, metals and mining stocks /quotes/zigman/24977/realtime XX:TTMN -2.95% soared 4.6%, followed by a 2.9% rise in the materials sector /quotes/zigman/24976/realtime XX:TTMT -0.81% and a 2.2% climb in information-technology equities /quotes/zigman/23269/realtime XX:TTTK -0.81% .
"Economic news at the margin seems to be gradually improving, so this risk-on could last for a while. The Achilles heel is something unforeseen that may happen in Europe," said Ian Nakamoto, director of research at MacDougall MacDougall & MacTier.
"Equity markets have been doing well in past few days, especially Friday with the huge jobs reports spilling over… The stocks leading the way are the ones that got beat up the most," he added.
Strengthening commodity companies included Methanex Corp. /quotes/zigman/17597/realtime CA:MX +0.08% up 5.2%, Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. /quotes/zigman/16932/realtime CA:CNQ -0.43% jumping 7.3%, Class B shares of Teck Resources adding 5.6%, and Niko Resources /quotes/zigman/12028/realtime CA:NKO -2.32% climbing 7%.
Crude for September delivery advanced $1.47 to $93.67, or its highest level in more than two months. Read more on oil.
Gold futures rose early Tuesday before reversing gains, with gold for December delivery finishing 0.2% lower at $1,612.80 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Read more on gold.
Still, Canadian gold miners advanced, as Iamgold Corp. /quotes/zigman/14530/realtime CA:IMG -1.65% and Eldorado Gold Corp. /quotes/zigman/15663/realtime CA:ELD +0.40% each rose about 5.5%, followed closely by a climb in Osisko Mining Corp. /quotes/zigman/41795/realtime CA:OSK -0.67% .
Supporting the technology sector, shares of BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd. rose 4.9%. Celestica Inc. /quotes/zigman/20287/realtime CA:CLS +0.09% , which delivers solutions to global manufacturers and services, tacked on 3.1%, while Evertz Technologies, video and audio equipment manufacturer, /quotes/zigman/36799/realtime CA:ET -0.68% added 2.6%.
After four weeks of gains, the Canadian dollar again broke parity against its U.S. counterpart /quotes/zigman/4867882/realtime/sampled USDCAD +0.1825% , with one U.S. dollar purchasing C$0.9968 vs. C$1.0006 Monday. The greenback has fallen 2.2% against Canada's currency in the past month.
On the corporate front, shares of Harry Winston Diamond Corp. rallied almost 4% on news of ongoing talks with BHP Billiton /quotes/zigman/270355/delayed/quotes/nls/bhp BHP -2.67% , regarding the possible sale of its diamond business, according to the Financial Times.
In economic news, the total value of building permits declined 2.5% to $6.8 billion in June, mostly due to drops in the non-residential and residential sectors in Alberta and British Columbia, according to Statistics Canada.

Houzz is the new way to design your home.
3 Chatham, MA Ironwork Professionals
Without ironworkers and their structural know-how, many of the great buildings of the world would never have come to be. But most Massachusetts homeowners are more likely to hire an ornamental or architectural ironworker, who crafts metal pieces that are visible on the exterior. From window frames to grates and balconies, from screens and fences to hardware, these pros shape iron into forms that are as decorative as they are functional. More

DINWIDDIE - Authorities have issued a warrant for an individual in connection to a shooting in the West Petersburg area Dec. 29.
Two people suffered from non-life threatening injuries after shots rang out at the intersection of Greensville Avenue and Warwick Street on Dec. 29. Dinwiddie police responded to a call that shots had been fired around 8:45 p.m.
The shooter and victims had left the scene before police arrived. Police were then alerted that two victims who reported that they were shot in the West Petersburg area were recovering from non-life-threatening gunshot wounds at the Southside Regional Medical Center.
Both victims have since been released from Southside Regional Medical Center.
Until they arrest the individual, police have declined to release the name of the suspect. Upon arrest, the suspect will only face charges for the shooting of one of the victims.
"We can only prove one victim because one of the victims was uncooperative," Sheriff "Duck" Adams said. "West Petersburg is one of our roughest neighborhoods in the county, and sometimes we just don't get cooperations from the victims."
Police recognized the names of both the suspect and the victims due to their criminal records.
"All these people were well known to us," Adams said. "We had prior criminal dealings with them."

I really thought the aqua sox would be great while fishing and boating ( you would think ).
UNFORTUNATELY they don't use waterproof glue when they make them. The insoles slide all over when they get wet BUT the glue does stick to the bottom of your feet.

This is my 1st pair of this type shoes, so I don't know if it is supposed to be like this, but here is my problem. The water is very easy to get inside the shoes, and it stays there. I thought it supposed to be the other way around since the description said quick dry. I step in the puddle of water and the shoes feel like a water balloon on my feet after I got out the puddle. I have to take the shoes off and drain out the water. The shoes are quite comfortable, so I give it a 3 star.

Statement from Leslie Kantor, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Vice President of Education, on New Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Report on HIV-Related Risk Among U.S. High School Students
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report on HIV-related risk among U.S. high school students is highly encouraging, illustrating that progress on health disparities can be made with education and access to health care services.
"As the report shows, sexual risk behaviors among African-American teens have declined dramatically over the last 20 years. Key data includes:
- In 1991, black students were nearly two-thirds more likely to have had sexual intercourse and almost three times as likely to report having multiple partners, as compared to white students. By 2011, the disparity between black and white students who ever had sex was cut in half, and the difference in the likelihood of having multiple sex partners declined even more (58 percent).
- Black teens have significantly increased their condom use, and now use condoms at higher rates (65percent) than Hispanic teens (58 percent) and white teens (60 percent).
"As a result, weve seen a significant narrowing of the gap in risk disparities between black teens and other groups of teens. But the research also clearly shows there is much more work to do.
"Unfortunately, progress has stalled in the overall number of teens who have ever had sex, are having sex without condoms, or who have multiple sexual partners all behaviors that can lead to the spread of HIV. In addition, the number of students nationwide being taught about HIV/AIDs has declined by eight percent over the past 14 years. These findings reflect a clear need for teens to have better access to comprehensive sex education in schools that addresses the needs of todays youth, coupled with increased access to health care services, including HIV testing.
"As a trusted provider of sex education and sexual and reproductive health services, Planned Parenthood knows firsthand that reaching youth with school-based sex education, which includes HIV prevention information, can help reduce sexual risk behaviors among teens. Clearly, this is not the time to reduce much needed access to sex education, testing or treatment services. The report makes clear that in order to continue reducing the rates of HIV infection and treatment, we must redouble our efforts to make sexuality education which includes information about preventing HIV widespread in schools and online, and increase access to essential health care services if we truly want to reach our goal of reducing HIV among youth."

CHICAGO (AP) — President Barack Obama won re-election exactly the way his campaign had predicted: by running up big margins with women and minorities, mobilizing a sophisticated registration and get-out-the-vote operation, and focusing narrowly on the battleground states that would determine the election.
It wasn't always exciting and it was hardly transformational. But it worked.
Still, there were detours along the way, most notably Obama's dismal performance in the first debate, which breathed new life into Republican challenger Mitt Romney's campaign. The deadly attack on a U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, opened up Obama to a flurry of GOP criticism of his leadership. And Superstorm Sandy upended the campaign in its closing days, though the political impact appears to have been positive for Obama.

Longtime Sequim veterinarian announces retirement
Published on Wed, Aug 25, 2010 by
Ashley Miller

Open house celebration and retirement party
Blue Mountain Animal Clinic, 2972 Old Olympic Highway, is honoring founder Dr. Jack Thornton and his three decades of service in the Sequim community during an open house celebration from noon-4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 28. Peninsula Friends of Animals, the Welfare for Animals Guild and the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society will offer information about their services and adoption policies during the event. For more information, call 457-3842.
With 35 years of veterinary medicine under his dark blue scrub top, his clients often refer to Dr. Jack Thornton as the American version of English veterinary surgeon James Herriot.
Over the years, Thornton has performed surgery on thousands of animals and touched hundreds of lives and hearts in the process.
From performing a "rhino-plasty" on Ricky the rhinoceros at the Olympic Game Farm to chasing a dog - on his bike - like a madman because it tried to bite him, Thornton has a thousand true stories to share that are sure to make people laugh, cry, jump with joy and shout out in anger.
Years ago Thornton started writing detailed accounts of his days at work, recording the good, the bad and the downright ugly. He sent them to his parents for entertainment as they got older and became housebound. Even after they died, Thornton continued to write the stories out of habit.
Although his friends, family and clients often encouraged him to turn his adventurous tales into an autobiography, Thornton swears he'll do no such thing.
"The best part about my stories will be handing them down to my children and grandchildren," he said with a smile, speaking proudly of his newborn granddaughter.
At the end of the month, Thornton will take off his surgical gloves for the last time. He's retiring and leaving the practice he built - literally with his own two hands - to Dr. Sharon Jensen.
Jensen approached Thornton about buying Blue Mountain Animal Clinic three years ago and letting the more experienced veterinarian work for her. At first, he refused. Then, he thought better of it.
"It's not that often somebody comes to you like that, and I couldn't pass up her offer," Thornton said.
"I respect her and the way she practices medicine."
Wanting to ease clients into the transition, Thornton continued working for Jensen four days a week.
"It was good that Sharon asked me to work for her," he said. "I couldn't have stopped cold turkey - decompressing to 20 hours a week was hard enough."
Retirement, Thornton continued, will be an adjustment but is a change he welcomes.
"My wife said early in our marriage that it's good to learn how to do nothing, and I think there's a lot of truth in that," he said.
"I'm going to take the time and learn to just be ... not to be a vet or a parent or whatever, but just to be."
Keeping busy shouldn't be a problem for Thornton, who's always enjoyed playing racketball, handball, basketball, running, walking and swimming.
Thornton plans to stay in the Sequim area. He's a member of the Sunrise Rotary and is on the board and a past president of the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society.
From one vet to another
When Jensen first inquired about buying Blue Mountain Animal Clinic, she'd never met Thornton before.
"I was immediately struck by his humble demeanor and respectful manner," she said, sharing her first impressions of the now gray-haired man with dark blue eyes.
"Over the last few years, I came to know him as a person who shows utmost respect for all creatures that live around him and the Earth upon which we tread so heavily."
"The community may never understand what Jack contributed," Jensen continued, "but his clients and patients do. And so do I."
"I'll miss you, Jack," she said with heartfelt appreciation. "You touched my life."
Editor's note: Dr. Jack Thornton, who contributes a monthly column, "In Vetrospect" to the
Sequim Gazette, no longer will share his stories with readers following retirement. His sincere, and often humorous, accounts of practicing veterinary medicine on the North Olympic Peninsula will be missed.

24 Out of 25 Proposed Permanent Katif Towns Still not Final
n Set as HomePage


text:
Earlier this year, I listed ten well known high street retailers that weren't selling online, despite the obvious benefits of doing so.
I calculated (roughly) that these companies were missing out on potential revenues of between £8m and £1.35bn for the sake of setting up an e-commerce operation.
Six months later, online retail is still growing, and the reasons for selling online are just as valid, so I've taken a look to see where these companies are now with their e-commerce strategies...
Still not selling online
- H&M sells online in a few European countries, but still hasn't announced plans to do so in the UK, a large market for the company. A Flash-filled website that starts playing audio at you is all UK visitors will see. Not cool.
- Despite being one of the most well-known and successful shoe retailers offline in the UK, Clarks remains one of the biggest e-commerce refuseniks.
Telephone ordering is available, but this is not good enough, nor is the Flash website which is not only a usability nightmare but also, as it opens in a new window, will fall foul of many popup blockers. About as bad as it gets.
- Claire's accessories is pretty successful on the high street, but still seems to have no plans to move into online retail.
- Department store retailer Fenwicks still has no e-commerce site. Perhaps department stores don't work so well online? Then again, Selfridges is planning to roll out a transactional internet store... (see below).
- Oddly, while rivals Tesco, Sainsburys and Asda all sell online with some success, both Morrisons and Somerfield have yet to launch an e-commerce site, though Somerfield did have one which closed in 2000.
Morrisons uses its website to advertise its latest offers and provide general information, while Somerfield lets you browse through its products and add them to a shopping list, which you can then print off and take to the store.
Planning to sell online
- Last time I looked, Jigsaw was displaying its clothing range online, but orders could only be placed by telephone. Now it has announced a move into e-commerce, and a new site is due to be launched soon.
- Homeware retailer Habitat displays its collection online, but still hasn't launched an e-commerce offering in the UK. Habitat seems to be cautiously dipping its toe into the water, with an e-commerce trial on its French site. We think Habitat would do really well online as the brand appeals to discerning buyers who aren't that price sensitive. Come on Habitat!
Selfridges does sell a limited range of its goods online, such as hampers and perfume, but it is planning a full e-commerce launch.
The company isn't rushing into online retail; it plans to launch a transactional website in 2010.
Launched a transactional website
- Spanish retail group Inditex, which owns the Zara brand, has recently launched a nifty new website selling its homeware range, which is at least a good start.
Shoppers looking for Zara's clothing range online will be disappointed though, as a Flash website (this is clearly a trend) displaying the latest collection is all they will find.

Little Girl Joins Dark Side w/o Thinking Twice
This is a video of little Sarah Gallego at Disneyland who, after being presented with an opportunity to train with the Jedi Academy, opts to bow to Darth Vader and join the Dark Side instead. Boy must her parents have been embarrassed! Or devil worshipers. I swear, you never can tell with people these days (I think my neighbors are into Civil War reenactments).
Hit the jump for the 'damn, Darth is pretty charismatic I'm not gonna lie'.
Thanks to Lana, who was also given the opportunity to join the Jedi Academy at Disneyland but opted to ride Splash Mountain again instead.
Here's three Star Wars posts in one because I really know how to pack it in. "Like fudge?" Exactly like fudge. The first video is the second film in the 'Jedi kitty fights' series, the second video is an origami space-battle advertisement for Star Wars branded Moleskine note... / Continue →

Questions to Ask When Interviewing a Health Care Provider
Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) is a form of ultrasound testing used during labor to determine the fetal heart rate and the strength of your contractions. Two plastic belts, attached to a machine that prints out results, are strapped around your belly. EFM limits your ability to move around,and it has not been shown to improve birth outcomes.EFM increases your chances of an "assisted"vaginal birth (with vacuum extraction or forceps) and cesarean section. Episiotomy is a cut made in the vagina to enlarge it for birth. Forceps are large spoon-shaped metal tongs that are inserted into the vagina and fit around the baby's head to help guide the baby out of the birth canal during birth Vacuum extractor is a tool with a rubber or plastic cup that is inserted into the vagina and attached to the baby's head to help guide the baby out of the birth canal. Labor induction is a means of artificially starting labor, usually by giving the mother drugs or by breaking the bag of water. Cesarean section (or c-section ) is an operation by which a fetus is taken from the uterus by cutting through the walls of the abdomen and uterus. Most recent page update: 9/9/2010

A short time back, I wrote about our support for an Arizona policy of having public schoolchildren recite daily the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence. A subscriber to Precepts, who is a well-known libertarian, wrote back to us taking exception. He argued that compulsory recitation of the Declaration contradicts the spirit of the Declaration, and accused us of "undermining principle in the name of principle."
This correspondent reflects a common view today. It is the view that the freedom of the Declaration — the freedom at the core of America — is the freedom to think as we choose, even to the point of rejecting the Declaration itself. Four members of the U.S. Supreme Court embraced this idea in a recent abortion-related decision: "At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life." If this is true, then indeed — as our correspondent suggests — the purpose of public education should be to "teach children to think for themselves," rather than teaching them what is correct to think, in the area of political morality.
Let us consider this argument in terms of the Declaration itself. The Declaration begins with an acute observation of human nature: "all men are created equal." Next it defines this equality: human beings possess certain inalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Third it derives political principles from this equality: government's only legitimate purpose is to protect its citizens' equal rights, and it must operate on the basis of the consent of the governed.
According to the Declaration then, our liberty is grounded in the fact that we are equally human. Some of us may be smarter or prettier or stronger, but none of us are gods and none of us beasts. Thus our liberty is ordered or limited. We are not free to trample the rights of our fellow citizens, or to use the powers of government to do so. Nor are we free to surrender our rights to other citizens or to the government, acting in the manner of obedient and dependent dogs towards their human masters.
Our correspondent, who in the name of liberty opposes the policy of daily recitation of the Declaration by Arizona schoolchildren, holds to an idea of liberty that is un-moored from the Declaration's observation of our shared human nature. His is a radical understanding of liberty that invites us back to the time when it was accepted as legitimate for some men to choose to become kings or tyrants, and for others, whether by choice or not, to be subjected or enslaved.
The building of bridges requires architects who understand the laws of physics. If they substitute their own opinions of mass, weight, and gravity, their bridges will fall and people will die. Similarly, the sustaining of democracies requires citizen-governors who understand the "laws of nature and of nature's God" that underlie human freedom. If we teach our children to substitute their own opinions about men's relationship to God and to each other, our democracy will fall and die.
This argument goes to the heart of the Claremont Institute's enterprise. As a small but significant measure of our progress, I am proud to report that just last week, our web site on the Declaration of Independence, founding.com, was named an official resource by the Arizona Department of Education.

Message to the Community from Luren E. Dickinson:
month of May might seem like a quiet time in public libraries since people are
enjoying the outdoors and the school year is winding down; however, our library
staff is busy at work gearing up for the summer reading program and the Ice
Cream Social on June 15 that signifies the start of a summer filled with
reading. This year's program—Reading:
Sounds Good!—begins June 11
and continues through July 31.
18, Joanne Federman, Shaker Family Center Director and partner in the Play and
Learn Station, Wendy Simon, Lynne Miller and I traveled to Columbus for the
Ohio Library Legislative Day to promote the important role public libraries
play in early childhood education. We joined other library professionals, from
across northeastern Ohio, on a bus trip to the capital where we had the
opportunity to hear testimony on behalf of public library funding by Geauga
County Public Library's Director, Debbie O'Connor. We also met with legislators and legislative aides to discuss the
importance of state funds.
the Governor's proposed budget, the current Library & Local Government Support
Fund (LLGSF), which supports public libraries almost exclusively, would be
renamed the Local Libraries Fund (LLF). Because the LLGSF has been cut or
frozen over the past six years, the amount of state funds have dropped 11%
while inflation has risen by 17%—a 28% decrease in spending power. Interestingly, the number of materials
checked out by the public from Ohio's public libraries increased by 23% in the
six years from 1999 to 2005 (the most recent year for which statewide figures
are available). At Shaker Heights
Public Library, usage went up by 25% from 2000 to 2006. We are fortunate to have
the additional support from our community through property taxes. While our
funding situation is problematic, it is not so dire as more than 70% of Ohio
public libraries, which rely almost completely on state funds.
proposed change, recommended by a bipartisan legislative task force on library
funding, would draw the LLF from the more broadly-based state general revenue
funds, rather than from state income tax as is the LLGSF. This is seen as a
more favorable and stable source of funding overall. The Governor, however, has
failed to follow the task force recommendation of a 3% increase in library
funding at the beginning of the new biennium, July 1. In fact, his proposed
budget continues the freeze through December 31, 2007, and offers nothing but
potential inflationary increases during the next two years. Even Tax
Commissioner Levin puts the two-year increase at no more than 1.5%, much less
than inflation.
funding shortfalls, Shaker Heights Public Library continues to experience
double-digit increases in the amount of library materials checked out by the
public even in 2007. Interest in the
Library by the local residents and officials was evident on April 12 at the
Community Strategic Planning Meeting. More than sixty citizens, including some
local officials, gave good input regarding the services they feel are important
for our district. Subsequent surveys of specific groups such as teens, parents
of preschool children, and adults, both at the Main Library and the Bertram
Woods Branch, are providing us with an even better picture of where we need to
devote our resources.
we cope with funding issues, we continue to plan and to focus on our service to
the public. I encourage you to read the articles about libraries and how they
are evolving in the 21st century, which are posted on our website in
the Strategic Planning section. Please continue to share your insights and
suggestions with us via phone, mail or email.
I look forward to a summer filled with reading and I encourage you to join
us from 6:30 – 8 p.m. Friday, June 15 on the lawn at Bertram Woods Branch when
we kick off the summer reading program.
Luren E. Dickinson,

CHARLESTON, W.Va.--The West Virginia Lottery Commission is refusing to make public footage of West Virginia University football head coach-in-waiting Dana Holgorsen's incident two weeks ago at a Nitro casino.
Security officials at Mardi Gras Casino & Resort called the police after 3 a.m. May 18 to have Holgorsen escorted from the building.
ESPN and the Daily Mail had asked the lottery, which regulates part of the casino's operations, for footage of the incident, which was caught on the casino's surveillance cameras, according to multiple sources.
The lottery has access to footage from the casino as part of its oversight authority.
But the lottery said in a two-page reply to a written Freedom of Information Act request from ESPN that because the Holgorsen incident didn't involve gaming activity, it doesn't need to provide access to the video.
In addition to the gaming areas that the lottery oversees, the casino's cameras cover areas that "exist as a business decision of Mardi Gras but are not required by the Commission," lottery director John Musgrave said in the letter.
"Our records do not show any casino gaming problems for the time period of your request," Musgrave said in the letter. "I have no information indicating Mr. Holgorsen and his group were visiting Mardi Gras in any official government capacity. Consideration should also be given to the images of other customers who had nothing to do with Mr. Holgorsen's presence and may expect proper handling of their right to privacy."
The lottery also said the video itself is only in the possession of the casino so shouldn't be considered a public document.
"No Lottery employee has received or requested copies of the images for the date and time periods you specified in your letter," Musgrave said. "My opinion, therefore, is that the images you have requested are not a 'public record' of the State Lottery Commission."
Jon Amores, the head of the state Racing Commission, which also oversees aspects of Mardi Gras' operations, said he didn't know under what authority he could request to see the footage of something at the track/casino complex that wasn't related to racing.
