New Interviews from The Guardian with James and Oliver Phelps, Rupert GrintDH Film
July 03, 2011, 07:59 PM
Over the weekend, the Guardian published two new interviews with members of the Harry Potter cast: the first with the Weasley twins, James and Oliver Phelps, and the second with Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley).
The Phelps' talk about the challenge of being seen as individuals after portraying one of the most famous twins in the world. They also recount their first audition for the roles of Fred and George Weasley, but admit that they "fell into acting by accident."
"I felt like [I wasn't a proper actor] for about three or four years, and then when I was about 17, I really started to take it seriously," says James, who still occasionally takes acting lessons. "I'm very aware that I'm lucky to call it my job."
Were James and Oliver Phelps very conscious that they were twins as children? Not especially, they say. Their parents would dress them in different clothes, mainly to tell them apart, but also because the family were involved in the Twins & Multiple Births Association, which has always stressed encouraging children's individuality. "If anyone referred to us as 'the twins', we would ignore them," says James. "I know people don't mean to be insulting, and I know that some twins enjoy being seen as twins, but we're at the other end of the scale."Click here to read the full interview with James and Oliver Phelps.
The Guardian's Sunday paper, The Observer, featured a lengthy profile piece about Rupert Grint. The article not only features new quotes from Mr. Grint about his first meeting with co-star Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and growing up in the spotlight, but also some words from producer David Heyman and friends Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) and James Phelps.
I want to know his impressions of Radcliffe, on first meeting him, aged 11. Grint's a year older and anyone who can remember life as a pre-teen will remember what an impossible chasm of time and gathered wisdom that seemed. What did he think of the squitty little 10-year-old, cast opposite him? Grint starts talking about how exciting everything was at the time. He applied for the part on a whim…Click here to read the whole interview with Rupert Grint.
But what did you think, I repeat – perhaps when you first shook hands? Did you size him up? Grint considers. He yeah-sort-of-ums.
What was the very first thing that occurred to you? And then, finally, he sniffs up a laugh, tickled by buried memory. "I remember thinking," says Grint, grinning brilliantly, "that this guy has a really triangular-shaped head."

Should You Take Social Security Benefits Early?
Saving for Retirement
Should You Take Social Security Benefits Early?
Many people nearing retirement age assume they should take Social Security benefits as soon as they possibly can in order to lock in the amount they will receive, especially since Congress is currently considering a reduction to overall Social Security benefits.
Keep in mind most of benefit reductions are likely to affect people currently in their forties or below, not people in their early sixties who will be eligible to start taking benefits when they reach age 62.
If you are eligible and considering starting Social Security benefits within the next year or so, focus more on the impact taking early benefits will have on your overall retirement plan. In general terms, delaying the start of receiving benefits increases the monthly amount you will receive if you take benefits later. Don't worry about upcoming changes worry about what makes the best sense for your financial situation.

The offspring of Halley's Comet are about to put on quite a show in the skies around Chicago.
Earth will pass through a stream of debris from Halley's Comet beginning Monday, which will give us the benefit of the annual Orionids meteor shower—though you probably won't see much until a bit later.
According to Adler Planetarium, the shower is expected to peak in the Chicago area just before midnight Saturday, Oct. 20, and continue until just before dawn Sunday, Oct. 21. The moon sets early that night, which will keep the sky dark enough that—barring cloud cover—you should be able to see about a dozen meteors per hour, according to Adler's information.
"Despite not being the most spectacular meteor shower, the Orionids have the most well known of all the meteor stream parent bodies," Adler Planetarium astronomer Michael Solontoi told National Geographic last fall. "As Halley's comet orbits the sun, it has left behind dust that was liberated from the comet when it was warmed by its close passage to the sun, most recently in 1986."
What makes this shower so cool? First of all, c'mon—it's a show of shooting stars.
Also, though, there's no question about where to look for this one. Meteor showers get their names from the constellations in the sky where they can be spotted. And what's easier to spot than Orion the Hunter?
The stars tend to shoot from Orion's club, pierce Taurus the Bull, the Gemini twins, Leo the Lion and finally, Canis Major, home of Sirius, the brightest star we can see—well, aside from the sun.
There's also something else that's special about this show: With the second-fastest entry velocity of all the annual meteor showers, meteors from the Orionids produce yellow and green colors and occasionally produce an odd fireball.
To make sure you get the best view possible, remember to check the weather forecast and conditions before you head outside to watch.

Kids across the Tennessee Valley are heading off to camp this summer.
This week is Decatur Youth Work Camp.
Teens from Morgan County and the youth group from the Beltline Church of Christ are spending the week fixing houses and doing yard work for the disabled or elderly.
The group is working on 17 different jobsites.
They meet at 8 every morning and begin with a devotional.
The teens pay $30 to be a part of the camp.
"I really enjoy the feeling I get after helping somebody," said volunteer Brylee Holder. "I just think it makes us feel good and that's why we do it."
"I hope at the end of this, each one of them can say we've helped someone in a better way and they can look to the Lord to better it," said team leader, Ronnie Trammell.
Trammell encourages everyone to get out into your community and work to make it better.

Panasonic, a Fortune Global 100 company, spends approximately $5 billion annually on research and development. The investment is integral in designing and building more than 14,000 different products worldwide.
Panasonic has been manufacturing mobile computers since 1993 and introduced the Toughbook® brand in 1997. Panasonic continues to invest heavily in research and development to maintain its leadership in manufacturing the world's most durable and reliable mobile computers.
This on-going investment has led to significant breakthroughs for Toughbook products. For example, Panasonic was the first computer manufacturer to integrate with wireless WAN technology and to adopt the Gobi™ mobile broadband solution for easy connectivity with leading wireless networks.
Research activities also led to Panasonic being the first manufacturer of a fully-rugged medical clinical assistant (MCA) device - the Toughbook H1 Health. The Toughbook H1 Health (now replaced by the Toughbook H2) also was the first:
- MCA computer with a fanless design to minimize the transporting and spreading of germs in healthcare environments
- MCA computer with a built-in sanitization reminder system
- MCA computer with dual hot-swappable batteries
Ongoing research activities involve many dedicated Panasonic employees as well as Toughbook customers who provide Panasonic feedback on their usage and experience with the products.
The people who buy and use Toughbook computers heavily influence product development decisions. To better understand user needs, Panasonic's R&D and product development personnel sponsor advisory councils and participate in industry-specific focus groups and trade associations. Through these contacts and daily dialog with customers, Panasonic has a keen understanding of the needs of mobile professionals in all major industries and applications.
Then, it is the job of Panasonic product engineers to economically meet market needs with the best available technologies. Working with leading technology companies, such as Intel and Microsoft, Panasonic engineers evaluate the latest chipsets, materials, power management techniques, LCD screens, wiring, hard drives and components. They study the effects of continuous use in challenging environments. They find the optimum balance between reliability and weight. And they continually discover better ways to keep Toughbook computers performing under extraordinary conditions.
Highly Accelerated Life Tests (HALT), a stress testing methodology used to obtain product reliability information, is one example of Panasonic's research regimen. Panasonic engineers subject electronic components to elevated operating temperatures to find each component's upper operating limit. By HALT testing a component for a short period, engineers can observe a component's performance over its full life cycle and correct any problems before manufacturing begins.
Another example of Panasonic's research regimen is in wireless technology. Panasonic operates one of the world's largest anechoic chambers in the industry. By precisely measuring the amount of electromagnetic radiation produced by Toughbook mobile computers, anechoic chamber testing enables engineers to maximize wireless performance.
The result of these ongoing research activities is a line of Toughbook computers that continually changes to meet the rigorous requirements of Panasonic's customers.

Numbers accessing treatment for depression in Bradford district 'below national average'
9:00am Wednesday 22nd January 2014 in News
More than 7,000 people across the Bradford district were given a GP referral for anxiety or depression in 2012-13, but only around a third accessed any treatment for their condition, according to latest figures.
The first annual statistics for the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme have been published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre, giving details of the 884,000 referrals made across the UK.
Across Bradford in 2012-13, 7,740 patients were referred for some form of therapy by the district's three Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) – Bradford City, Bradford Districts, and Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven – with 2,712, or 35 per cent, subsequently entering into a treatment programme.
This was lower than the national average of 49 per cent and below the overall 54 per cent average for West Yorkshire. Of the ten CCGs that make up the West Yorkshire region, the three in the Bradford district had the lowest number of patient referrals per head of population.
A spokesman for the three CCGs in the district said: "The percentage of patients in the three CCGs who currently receive therapy is 8.9 per cent for Bradford Districts, 7.5 per cent for Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven and 4.7 per cent for Bradford City, against the target of eight per cent agreed with NHS England.
"We recognise that the number of people referred in Bradford who accept the offer of therapy is below the national average, so we are working with Bradford District Care Trust, as the main provider of these services, to look at ways of improving this."
Within the Bradford City CCG during 2012-13, there were 1,219 referrals made, with 418 patients entering a treatment programme.
For the Bradford Districts area, 1,498 people received treatment from a total of 4,467 referrals and in Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven, 796 patients were treated as a result of 2,054 CCG referrals.
Although many patients are choosing to decline treatment options, which could include cognitive behavioural therapy and counselling, recovery rates for the Bradford district are higher than other areas of the UK.

Psychology is totally unscientific, built up on a false sexual interpretation of normal emotions. The prejeudices of the psychologist are paramount and no 2 psychologists can usually agree on a diagnosis. In one famous TV programme, they had less success than random chance in identifying if a person was mentally ill or not. Tossing a coin is more accurate.
It is about time we cleared this expensive fakery out of the NHS and forb that matter out of teaching and social work too.

A subject that was founded by a cocaine addict (with all the pyscosis that involves-including a certain attitude to male anatomy) ain't exactly on secure foundations is it. Even Skinner seems to have got caught making inflated (and false?) claims re his conditioning of pigeons for guided missiles and lost his funding from the US military in WW2

A landmark decision by the Boy Scouts of America could change the face of the American institution. The Boy Scouts of America voted on Thursday to allow gay youth, but bans anyone who is gay from becoming a leader after age 18.Scout parent Mitch Leff said he welcomed the change."I'm very happy that they've made this step to be inclusive so that all boys can feel welcome in Scouting. no matter what their orientation is," said Leff.Leff said that discrimination shouldn't be a part of a program that's been such an important experience for his two sons. "I think the scouting movement will adapt and change the way it needs to with this ruling," Leff said. Roswell Street Baptist Church and its local troop say the decision forces them to choose between following Biblical principles and scouting. "What they've done today is violation with their own code. Their own pledge ends with "teaching boys to be morally straight." How can you vote like this," said Roswell Street Baptist Church Senior Pastor Ernest Easley. The decision may cause ties to be severed between many troops traditionally sponsored by churches or faith-based groups. "It will alter our relationship with the Boy Scouts of America. I cannot imagine our congregation wanting to embrace any organization that is openly gay. Supporting an organization that stood directly in opposition to the morality taught in the word of God," Easley said. The Boy Scout of America's Atlanta Area Council released a statement saying:"Today, following the most comprehensive listening exercise in Scouting's history, the approximate 1,400 voting members of the Boy Scouts of America's National Council approved a resolution to remove the restriction denying membership to youth on the basis of sexual orientation alone. The resolution also reinforces that Scouting is a youth program, and any sexual conduct, whether heterosexual or homosexual, by youth of Scouting age is contrary to the virtues of Scouting.The Scouting program today has the same merit badges, campfires, and great programs as it had yesterday. Our Council's priority also remains the same. We will continue to serve as many Atlanta Scouts as possible with the best leadership development program and once-in-a-lifetime adventures."The change takes effect January 2014. The Boy Scouts of America said it has no plans to further review the issue.

pound cake ala Cathy via Carl
Farming and rural life discussion forum. Cooking, hunting, gardening, fishing, critters, etc.
Moderator: Team Cub
pound cake ala Cathy via Carl
Hi all,
Cathy's out in Chicagoland this week, she's excited about the ladies have this "on-line coffee clatch" and is racking her brain to come up with a "handle". In the meantime, she instructed me to send this recipe.
The cake is very moist, has good texture without being too heavy, and has a geat lemon taste. If you like lemon, you'll love this pound cake.
Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake
3 cups sugar
1 ¼ cups butter (2 ½ sticks)
one 8 oz package cream cheese
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon extract
½ teaspoon orange extract
pinch of salt
6 eggs
3 cups cake flour
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour 10 inch tube pan, or 12 cup bundt pan, or two 9x5 loaf pans.
In a large bowl, beat sugar, butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Blend in on low speed – lemon juice, vanilla, both extracts and salt. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one. Slowly add flour and beat until smooth. Pour batter into greased and floured pan.
Bake at 325 for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes on wire rack. Remove from pan and let cool completely.
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon soft butter
2-3 teaspoons lemon juice
In a small bowl, blend ingredients for the glaze and beat until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake.
At the risk of a severe beating about the head and shoulders, I suggest Cathy's handle should be "Chatty Cathy".
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
My mouth is watering. : I absolutely love cream cheese and any recipe that includes cream cheese. I can't wait to try this one. It certainly looks like a keeper.
Thanks Carl for submitting this for Cathy!!
Whenever God closes a door, he always opens a window.
Knowledge is Power! Power is Strength!
This Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake is definitely a keeper. We had it for desert tonight and all loved it.
Because of Rudi's diabetes and heart problems, I did, however, make it heart friendly and diabetic friendly. I substituted half the sugar for Splenda, half the butter for non hydrogenated margarine and used fat free cream cheese. It turned out really nice and we could all enjoy it.
Hey BigDog!!! Did you get that slice I emailed you?
Whenever God closes a door, he always opens a window.
Knowledge is Power! Power is Strength!
That picture had me drooling all over the keyboard. I'm gonna have to clean my computer now!
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
You and Boss Dog can come on over for coffee and cake I will save you a piece it really was top notch. Really Promise
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
I just got this e-mail which I shall name recipe mania.
This is what the shrinks evaluate from your favorites.
No cheating. Pick your dessert, then look to see what psychiatrists think about you! After taking this dessert personality test, send this email on
to others, but when you do, be sure to put your choice of dessert in the
subject line. ALSO, SEND IT TO THE PERSON WHO SENT IT TO YOU!
If all of the desserts listed below were sitting in front of you, whichÂ
would you choose? (Sorry, you can only pick one!) _Angel-Food-Cake_,
_Brownies_, _Lemon-Meringue-Pie_, _Vanilla-Cake/Chocolate-Icing_, _StrawberryShort Cake_, _Chocolate-Cake/Chocolate-Icing_, _Ice Cream_, _Carrot-Cake_.Â
NO You can't change your mind once you scroll down! So think carefully what your
choice will be!
OKÂ Now that you've made your choice, this is what research says about you!
Now scroll down
Angel food Sweet, loving, cuddly. You love all warm and fuzzy items.. A
little nutty at times. Sometimes you need an ice cream cone at the end ofÂ
the day. Others perceive you as being childlike and immature at times.
Brownies You are adventurous, love new ideas, are a champion of underdogs
and slayer of dragons. When tempers flare up, you whip out your saber. You
are always the oddball with a unique sense of humor and direction. You tend
to be very loyal
Lemon Meringue Smooth, sexy, &articulate with your hands, you are anÂ
excellent afterdinner speaker and a good teacher. But don't try to walk and
chew gum at the same time. A bit of a diva at times, but you have many
Vanilla Cake/Chocolate Icing Funloving, sassy, humorous. Not veryÂ
grounded in life; very indecisive and lack motivation. Everyone enjoys
being around you, but you are a practical joker. Others should be cautious
in making you mad. However, you are a friend for life.
Strawberry Short Cake Romantic, warm, loving. You care about other people
and can be counted on in a pinch. You tend to melt. You can be overlyÂ
emotional and annoying at times.
Chocolate Cake/Chocolate Icing Sexy, always ready to give and receive.Â
Very creative, adventurous, ambitious, and passionate. You have a coldÂ
exterior but are warm on the inside. Not afraid to take chances. Will notÂ
settle for anything average in life. Love to laugh.
Ice Cream You like sports, whether it be baseball, football, basketball,Â
or soccer. If you could, you would like to participate, but you enjoyÂ
watching sports. You don't like to give up the remote control. You tend toÂ
be selfcentered and high maintenance.
Carrot Cake You are a very fun loving person, who likes to laugh. You are
fun to be with. People like to hang out with you. You are a very warmÂ
hearted person and a little quirky at times. You have many loyal friends.
Then came Bronson
Bossdog made it too. It sure was good grilled with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it! (sorry Rudi - not on your diet )
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
We are looking forward to trying the pound cake but my doctor tells me that I must lower my cholesterol count through diet and exercise or control it through medication. Of the two choices, I prefer diet and exercise. There are several recipes which we want to try but for now meal time means Lean Cuisine, Healthy Choice or Smart Ones. But this too shall pass and we can eat real food again. Meanwhile, Janie is saving the recipes from this forum for later use. Dan
With the modifications Em has made to the recipe, even I can have a SMALL piece of the cake after a meal.
After going through what I have in the past few months, there is no way I am going to risk raising my cholesterol or triglycerides. My risk factor was 17 to 19 prior to the hospital, but now it is more like 4 to 5 which is a vast improvement. In my case with meds and careful attention to my diet, I find that I can have some of life's little pleasures and not feel guilty. Also, my cardiologist said that we have to reward ourselves occassionally, otherwise we will never be ble to maintain a good diet for the periods of time it takes to permanently change one's life habits.
Be aware though that most of these so-called Healthy pre-packaged meals are not so Healthy The different types and the pretty substantial amounts of sodium and potassium that you will find in them as well as some of the other chemicals will cause as much damage or more than would be generally thought. I no longer allow any of these so called Healthy pre-packaged things into my diet. AND as a side effect my blood pressure is now normal on the whole.
Oh and with the modifications this recipe has become more Heart and Diabetic Friendly. Not to say that it is as healthy as a tossed salad, but is a pretty good compromise A good key phrase is: all things in moderation...
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Rudi: Thanks for the information on changes in the recipe to make it more heart healthy. Janie had read Em's post and had said that with those changes, she felt that it would meet our needs. So, it looks like I might get to sample the cake in the near future. Thanks, Rudi. Dan
DARN! that's the way it goes, everything GOOD, is usually BAD fer ya!
Sorry and I know I shouldn't, I just can't help from eating it either.

My doc gave me the same choice in August 2003, lose the flab or start taking pills to reduce cholestrol and BP. I lost 55 pounds between Cubarama 2003 and Cubfest 2004 with diet and exercise. Total cholestrol dropped from 300 to 210. Blood pressure dropped from 150/100 to 115/60.
You can have cake, just eat a little piece and take the rest to the folks at work!
Lurker: I don't think that I have the will power to attain your weight loss but your success does provide inspiration for my attempt. I am shooting for 20 pound loss, from 220 to 200. My primary concern, and that of my doctor, is better control of my cholesterol level. Dan

Kellie Rowe
School: Michigan State University
Year: 2014
Hometown: Davison, Michigan
Campus activities: Reporter and editor for The State News for 3 years, MSU Department of Theatre, MSU Telecasters
How do you see the evolution of the newspaper in the next five years?
With how lightning-fast news of the Boston bombings spread via Twitter, I'd say social media is going to become the central hub of the news biz.
Five reasons you love your school:
1. When you shout, "GO GREEN!" almost anywhere in the country you'll get a "GO WHITE!" right back.
2. Despite a large enrollment of nearly 50,000 students, you'll always see a friendly face in passing on the way to class.
3. From to the Asian Pacific American Student Organization to Indian Bhangra dancers, the diversity on this campus is endless.
4. Have you seen the Red Cedar? Rain or shine – or more apprioriately snow, because it's Michigan we're talking about – that river is the most beautiful sight I've ever seen.
5. There's nothing like painting a big green "S" on your face and heading off to a football game in Spartan gear in the fall.
If you could have any super power, what would you choose?
Back in my high school pageant days (yes I'll admit to it), I was actually asked this question when running for Miss Davison. I'll actually give a better answer here and say the power of invisibility. What could be more perfect for an investigative reporter?
Who's your favorite person to follow on Twitter?
Ever since I began having "coffee-newspaper days" with USA TODAY and Folgers in Snyder-Phillips cafeteria, my favorite reporter has been Haya El Nasser and when I found her on Twitter I was too excited. She is an amazing writer and definitely one of my role models. I've been a big fan for years.
If you could travel to any country, where would you go?
Turkey! I made a Skype "pen-pal" after reporting on the MSU Turkish Association – journalism perks – and have been learning the language since. Everyday I learn more about the Middle East from him – an area I think all reporters should spend some studying.
What is the most interesting article you've ever written?
Last summer, I covered the trial and sentencing of a MSU student who abused and killed 13 Italian Greyhound puppies. It was an experience, to say the least. But one dog survived the abuse and was found by local animal control in the student's closet. I tracked down the dog's new owner and got to meet little Jezabelle. Designers titled the centerpiece "The Dog Who Lived."
One of the most quirky things about you is…
I had a hamster named Copernicus – Pernie for short – and a pet praying mantis named Cleo last semester. I made a lot of friends wandering around the weeds outside my apartment complex with a tupperware container and pink rainboots looking for flies and bugs to feed Cleo.
What was the last (non-required) book that you read?
I read A Stolen Life – a nonfiction memoir about Jaycee Dugard, who was kidnapped at age 11 and held captive for 18 years a few months ago. I thought which is pretty coincidental I had just read this book considering last week's news that three women in Ohio were rescued after more than 10 years in captivity.
What was the first thing you wanted to be when you grew up?
A doctor. My little sister was born with a rare congenital heart defect, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, meaning she was born without the left side of her heart. I wanted to fix babies like her so other big sisters could be as lucky as me. That is, until I learned I frequently pass out at the sight of blood. Probably wouldn't be the most effective doctor! I'll settle for writing amazing survivor stories about babies like Savannah to inspire others to continue heart defect research.

Three members of the Placer County District Attorney's Office have won awards this month from different organizations.
Two of the winners are prosecutors -- Karin Bjork and Garen Horst – while the third is criminal investigator Brandon Olivera.
Bjork, a 20-year veteran prosecutor and currently a supervising deputy district attorney, was named as a Volunteer of the Year by KidsFirst, a Placer County organization dedicated to the prevention of child abuse, during the group's 13th annual awards presentation on April 1.
Horst, also a supervising deputy district attorney and a 17-year veteran prosecutor in Placer, received a statewide honor -- Instructor of the Year – from the California Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) at an awards luncheon April 5 in San Jose.
Olivera, a law enforcement officer for 13 years before he joined the District Attorney's Office in 2009, was a member of an 11-person group to win an Investigative Excellence Award at POST's 2011 Detective Symposium in Los Angeles on April 14.
"The awards won by our three employees show once again the high quality of the staff in our office and of the services they provide to the community," said Placer County District Attorney Scott Owens. "We are extremely proud of not just these latest award winners but of all our employees."
Bjork won the volunteer award from KidsFirst on the strength of her being the supervisor of the DA's Family Protection Unit for the past 10 years.
Diana Martin, development associate for KidsFirst, the agency formerly known as the Child Abuse Prevention Council of Placer County, said Bjork continually went "above and beyond" her job duties to assist in child abuse cases.
"I recall one case in which she did everything she could to help in an out-of-state arrest in a child abduction case," Martin said.
Bjork estimated that she has handled "tens of thousands" of abuse and neglect cases during her years as a prosecutor.
"I hope there were some kids that I helped along the way where they no longer had to worry about their parents fighting or where the kids themselves were no longer being abused because of the efforts of our office," she said.
One case in particular has served to inspire her to be an advocate in the lives of children.
It involved a 911 call made to the Placer County Sheriff's Office by an 11-year-old boy, who was reporting that his father had been choking the boy's mother and that the father had just left the home.
When deputies arrived, they found that the boy had piled up a number of pieces of plastic toy furniture against the front door in what would have been a fruitless effort to keep the father from getting back into the house, Bjork said.
"It just broke my heart that the little boy was trying to protect his mother," she said. "This was really powerful for me. Someone needed to intervene in this boy's life."
Bjork, born in Sweden, came to the United States to attend college in Minnesota. She then moved to San Diego to pursue a law degree at California Western School of Law. She was hired by the Placer County District Attorney in 1991.
Garen Horst, the winner of POST's "Excellence in Instruction" award, has taught Institute of Criminal Investigations (ICI) courses to peace officers in homicide law and courtroom testimony at California State University, Sacramento, since 2007.
Maril O'Shaughnessy, course coordinator for POST, said Horst presents the information "in a way that is very easy to understand."
"He's very open to engaging in dialogue with the students regarding points of law," O'Shaughnessy said. "He makes himself available to answer questions about the students' own cases. And he continues to update current cases to illustrate homicide law."
Last year, Horst received praise from a state group for initiating policies to ensure that innocent people aren't being prosecuted or convicted. The policies have been adopted by local law enforcement agencies and have been copied by a number of outside police agencies who were lacking guidelines in photo lineups, live lineups or in-field showups.
In 2007, he started an in-house training program for his fellow prosecutors in Placer. That same year, he was named Placer County's Prosecutor of the Year, largely for his successful prosecution in a murder case in which the victim's body was never found.
In 2008, he was selected as Prosecutor of the Year by the California District Attorneys Association.
Horst is a graduate of Jesuit High School in Sacramento and the University of California at Santa Barbara. He obtained his law degree from George Washington National Law Center in Washington, D.C.
Brandon Olivera won a team award from POST for his participation in the investigation last year of a California Highway Patrolman who was arrested on felony drugs and weapons charges and then rearrested for soliciting the murder of a key witness. The defendant was subsequently convicted and sent to prison.
Olivera teamed up with 10 investigators from the CHP in the highly-publicized case.
Olivera is a graduate of Enterprise High School in Redding and attended Shasta College before going to the Redwoods Police Academy for law enforcement training.
He was a deputy with the Monterey County Sheriff's Department for two years before becoming an officer for the Rocklin Police Department in 1998. In 2009, he was honored as the Officer of the Year for Region II by the California Narcotics Officers Association.

The other day by chance I happened to look at Richard Kenyon's web page, and was struck by a very beautiful animated image there. The image is of a region tiled by colored squares, which are slowly rotating. As the squares rotate, they change size in such a way that the new (skewed, resized) squares still tile the same region. I thought it might be fun to try to guess how the image was constructed, and to produce my own version of his image.

A great write up, again.
Two silly limitations the new RT system has that Canon have never implemented but third parties have, second curtain sync, which would be nice for sync speed action shots, and remote head zoom function, that is very useful as one of the best modifiers is the zoom.
Yeah, the zoom-head thing is silly, I don't see myself using it much, but I bet you one time I'll need it and curse them. At least High-Speed sync can be controlled, for me that's more important than the other two.

Travel the world without leaving Texas: From Paris to Palestine, it's all here
By Sarah Rufca
Texas: It's like a whole other country. That's why even the two-stoplight towns have grand ambitions and grander names. No need to book an around-the-world ticket — you can find more than seven wonders in our big backyard.
Leaving out the misspelled appropriations (like Rhome, Bogata, and Edinburg), the towns that are more well-known in Texas than their worldly counterparts (meaning Odessa — even though the Ukranian city has over 10 times the population), and the places that are just too boring to even joke about (sorry, Naples), a traveler can still see the great cities without crossing the state lines.
Known as "the second-largest Paris in the world" and lying 100 miles from Dallas, this Paris has a quaint historic downtown (the city was founded in 1824, but rebuilt with flair after a fire in 1916) and, yes, its own 65-foot Eiffel Tower. (When Paris, Tennessee tried to one-up them in 1998 by building a 70-foot replica, the Texas Paris put a giant red cowboy hat on top to stay the tallest Eiffel Tower in North America. Obviously no one told Tennessee not to mess with Texas.)
For a town of 25,000, the architecture is sublime: Paris has two historic mansions on the National Register of Historic Places — the Scott Roden Home, designed by German J.L. Wees and built in 1910; and the William Bedford Wise House, built in 1887; as well as the Sam Bell Maxey House, a State Historic Site.
The town's claim to fame is the Wim Wenders film Paris, Texas, which won the Palm d'Or for Best Film at Cannes in 1984. However none of the movie takes place in or was filmed in Paris.
It may call itself "the Irish capital of Texas" but for small but fervent community, Dublin is synonymous with Dr. Pepper. The town of less than 4,000 near Waco is the home of the oldest Dr. Pepper bottling plant in the world and the source of the famous "Dublin Dr. Pepper" made with Imperial sugar rather than corn syrup that purists would drive for miles to get their hands on.
(Distribution of Dublin Dr. Peppers used to be limited to a 40-mile radius of the factory, but the bottles can now be found on the internet and all over Texas — if you look.) so ingrained is the soda in the community that for a week in June every year, Dublin changes it's name to Dr. Pepper, Texas, to celebrate the birthday of the drink. And of course, the town couldn't call itself Irish without a St. Patrick's Day festival.
According to city lore, Mrs. Dull Averiette named the city of Athens in honor of its Greek counterpart in hopes the town would become a cultural center. These days the town, 75 miles southwest of Dallas with a population around 11,000, is known for its great outdoors. Lake Athens is where many prominent Dallasites keep a second house, with its plentiful fishing, rolling hills, bike trails, golf courses, an arboretum, a winery, and a scuba park.
And burger fans, take note: Athens claims the title of "Original Home of the Hamburger," with native son "Uncle Fletch" Davis known to hawk the newfangled sandwiches made of a ground beef patty between two slices of fresh homemade bread, garnished with ground mustard mixed with mayonnaise, a big slice of Bermuda onion, and sliced cucumber pickles at his lunch counter downtown as far back as the 1880s, and sharing it with the world by presenting the hamburger at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis.
Sound like a tall tale? The story is backed by curriculum at McDonald's University.
Like its namesake, the Texas Palestine is a land of the past. (And yes, the original Palestine is not a city but a country/region, but we still like to count it.) In Texas, Palestine is second only to Galveston in historic structures —think picturesque Victorian houses and gardens. Palestine is also the terminus for the Texas State Railroad, an antique steam engine that cuts through the piney woods of East Texas, and its Davey Dogwood Park, with 200 acres of trails, attracts crowds as the white flowers blossom every spring.
And suiting for a town that parties like it's 1899, Palestine is a great center for antiques.

Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WST 003) - Assessment published Jun 2013
Generic metadata
Waste and material resources (Primary topic)
Typology: Descriptive indicator (Type A - What is happening to the environment and to humans?)
Key policy question: Are we improving the collection and management of waste electric and electronic equipment (WEEE)?
Key messages
Data indicates that while reuse and recycling of the collected waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) seems to be on track in the majority of the EU and EFTA member countries, the collection of the WEEE has shown varying but generally improving results. It appears that the amounts of WEEE that are collected, are largely reused (either as a whole appliance or components) or recycled although there is still room for improvement in some countries. However, more attention should be given to the improvement of collection systems. The level of collection is still very low in many countries, especially when compared to the amount put on the market (Figure 1).
Key assessment
Regarding the rate of total WEEE collected compared to the amount of electric and electronic equipment (EEE) put on the market in 2010, among the countries where data is available on total collection and amount put on market (as Figure 1 shows) there were 4 countries that collected over 50%, twelve countries between 30% and 50%, and 9 countries between 10% and 30 %.
The total collection rate (including collection both from households and other sources) achieved so far is around 37 % by weight of amounts put on the market in 2010 — the average of 26 European countries for which all data are available. This is an improvement compared to the data reported for the year 2006 when the collection rate was approximately 23%. However, due to the life span of the majority of EEE products the comparison of the amount put on the market and the amount collected in the same year is just an indicative number. Ideally, a collection rate would have to be calculated as rate of the WEEE generated, but this data does not exist.
Altogether, 20 out of the 26 EEA countries (where data on collection from households is available), reported to have met the collection target set in the 2002 WEEE Directive of 4 kg per person per year from private households in 2010, while there were only 11 countries out of 22 in 2006 that could meet the target applying from 2006 (Figure 2). An observation of the level of collection achieved and the entity(ies) in charge of collecting WEEE from households reveals that the countries that achieve a collection rate above 50% (Denmark, Norway, Sweden and the UK) engage municipalities in the collection. The revised WEEE Directive (2012/19/EU) requires countries to meet collection rates for WEEE of 45% of EEE put on the market on average in the three preceding years from 2016 and 65% from 2019 (or alternatively 85 % of WEEE generated on the territory of that Member State). Meanwhile, the export of WEEE out of the EU disguised as used goods is still a grave concern.
The amount of WEEE reused and recycled has increased over time in all countries where data is available, as Figure 3 illustrates. In 2010 already most EEA countries achieved a reuse and recycling rate above 80%, and a further 5 EEA member countries between 70% and 80%.
It should be noted, however, that the recycling rate can be significantly affected by the point in the waste management chain where the recycling figures are taken. For instance, if the figure for the amount of materials recycled is taken from what is fed into a shredder, the figure may not necessarily reflect the amount of materials that are actually recycled.
Furthermore, a high recycling rate of WEEE does not necessarily correspond to a high collection rate. In 2008, among the 21 EEA countries that achieved a recycling rate above 80%, six achieved a collection rate below 25% (compared to the amount of products put on the market), but this situation improved by 2010 when the collection rate of countries with high recycling rates has also improved: out of the 20 EEA countries with recycling rates above 80%, there were 9 countries between 30-45% and 4 countries (Ireland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden) already with above 45% collection rate.
There is also a time lag between the point at which a product is put on the market and when it is discarded. While there is a possible environmental advantage of using new products or their components in certain EEE from an energy efficiency point of view, from a resource efficiency point of view it is often better to use products longer.

We're pleased to once again offer DelFest Academy in the week prior to the festival. The Academy consists of a friendly, encouraging and intensive three-day learning experience with some of the finest musicians in bluegrass, and offers instruction for guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin and bass for all experience levels. The Travelin' McCourys will return as instructors. Cody Kilby from Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder and two-time IBMA Entertainer of the Year Leigh Gibson of the Gibson Brothers will be this year's guitar instructors. IBMA Mandolin Player of the Year Jesse Brock of the Gibson Brothers will be a mandolin instructor this year.
NEW THIS YEAR: DelFest Academy begins one day earlier with the registration meet and greet beginning on Sunday, May 18th at 4pm. Please do not arrive before to 4pm. Classes will take place Monday thru Wednesday before DelFest.

Student to receive instruction targeted to their individual needs, with plenty of opportunity for one-on-one interaction with their instructors.

Typically you'll start the mornings in a small group with your instructor, and afternoon sessions may vary with instrument groups getting together. We like to end each day with Bluegrass Karaoke – students sign up to play a song with the instructors as your backing band! There will also be a Band Scramble where students compete for a chance to perform on-stage with The Del McCoury Band on Thursday night, the first evening of DelFest!
An activity is in the works for Wednesday evening. Students are welcome to stay overnight on Wednesday as the festival begins on Thursday, May 22nd. Must have 4-day Pass to attend DelFest.

What an awesome idea replacement for the noodles, definitely have to try this!!
Thanks for your fast ideas. My clients LOVE quick easy meals. These are great and healthy no less. Do you mind if I share your link and ideas on our website? Thank you
I made this yesterday….so delicious. I love all your recipes!
Broccoli slaw?? Don't think I have ever seen that in the store. Is it in the produce section, or do I have to go to special grocery like Whole Foods?
I make something similar. I use the lemongrass that comes in a jar (or squeeze tube) (you can add coconut milk/water to the broth) and garnish with scallons for a Thai version. Delish!
Wish I could use frozen chicken…

CHEERS to high-school clubs, advisers and members who perform community-service projects and volunteer work. A couple of weeks ago, we cheered area college students, many of whom aren't even from this area, for the often-overlooked service projects they take on. We would like to extend that tip of the hat to local high-school students — and even some elementary-grade kids — who reach out to help their neighbors. In recent weeks, we have heard about students in National Honor Society, Key Club and other civic-minded school groups raising money to help important charities. They've held bake sales, collected bottles for deposits, sponsored scrapbooking get-togethers, held performances, organized blood drives and arranged sporting events. Many athletes also take part in community service as a way for teams to thank fans and taxpayers for their support. The work these students do is valued by local charitable agencies, who are often strapped for volunteers. The money that is raised helps power local programs. Their visits to nursing homes and hospitals enliven the atmosphere and brighten the day for residents. And the lessons that teens learn from doing community service are just as important as anything they get from their books in school. Caring children turn into conscientious adults. In the future, they will be the ones who step up for events like this past Saturday's third-annual Day of Caring, which saw 475 individuals, businesspeople and service-group members take on more than 75 area projects in a massive outreach effort coordinated by United Way of the Adirondacks and its partners. CHEERS to those generous volunteers, as well.
CHEERS to retailers who are featuring plus-size models in their advertisements. Most people are aware of the intense pressure that many females feel to meet often unrealistic standards of beauty. Think about the women you see in TV and movies: almost all are stunning, slim, busty, beautifully made up. Think about the women in fashion magazines, commercials and advertisements: tall, slender, young, perfect. That is not reality. In real life, women come in all shapes and sizes and in varying degrees of comeliness — just like men, who don't get the same media treatment. But there are signs that retailers are recognizing the effects of these unattainable presentations, which can lead to feelings of low self-esteem and, even worse, eating disorders. Plus-size models are starting to show up in some catalogs and magazines. A recent mailing from Maurices, a national chain with a store at Champlain Centre mall in Plattsburgh, featured three lovely women, one of whom was more generously proportioned than normally seen in ads. The mailing noted that Maurices carries sizes 1 to 24. So do many stores, but few feature plus-size models in their promotions. The retailers who do are exhibiting sensitive — and smart — marketing.

Thank you so much!! I can't wait to start college next and to be able to set my prices high from the beginning so there will be no grumbling. heh heh. I'll definitely consider getting a wide prime and higher pricing will help me get one. I have some friends who aren't willing to pay more than $5 for a photo shoot and business speaking, I think I'll drop them because I do have a decent amount of demand. but then again, they are my friends(although my closest friends are willing to pay $15).. but they shouldn't be taking advantage of me if my work is truly worth more than $5. tough... something I'll mull over about.
That's certainly the problem with starting with friends for exceptionally low rates (if at all). If you do start having real work & demand, they often will still keep expecting you'll give them shoots for free/low. Still, I think you're going about it the right way.
Another thing to think about is the DoF. When you have a longer lens the DoF tends to look (or actually is) narrower, so if you have a slower shutter speed & wide open (shooting in a dark environment w/out lighting/strobes), you'll get a lot more focus misses. With a wider lens, it tends to have a deeper DoF so that once you have the focus closer or at infinity, the DoF is wide enough to get the vast majority of your subjects in focus, or at least good enough focus.

Ken Dauber enters Palo Alto school board race

I'm glad to see so many good candidates for the positions! There are always people to add their snark to school issues, but before they do, I for one want to say I wish we could have all of these candidates serve on the board. They are all highly qualified and care a lot about our kids.
on Aug 8, 2012 at 12:29 am
Good to see.
on Aug 8, 2012 at 7:23 am
Given Duaber's caustic, dismissive responses to people who criticized this criticism, it will be interesting to see how he fares at the polls. Given a voter base of about 40,000, a FB following of 165 (who might well not be PAUSD voters) is not really much of a start.
The term "contested election" is not well explained in this article. Without there being more candidates than seats, there is no "election"--as the District simply appoints the candidates. There is no discussion about their qualifications, or their ideas, or anything that makes "democracy" work. Two years ago, there were no candidates, so rather than an "election", we had a "selection". Same was going to happen this time. Another reason we need "None of the Above" as a standard line-item on our ballots.

One day, Araceli decided to get a facial. She figured that it would probably cleanse and hydrate her skin, but she didn't anticipate that it would lead her to a new career. For a full 60 minutes, her aesthetician doted on her with ingredients customized to suit her skin. Araceli remembers that first facial better than any since—largely because it's the very experience she tries to replicate every day at her own spa, Beautiful Skin by Araceli.
Araceli runs her spa according to a simple philosophy—facials and chemical peels should feel good. To this end, she always conducts a thorough skin analysis and talks with her clients to understand their concerns. She then uses this information to customize a safe, effective facial with Skin Script's all-natural fruit enzymes or PCA Skin's gentle blend of lactic acid, vitamin C, and phytohormones designed to plump up skin like an accidentally swallowed balloon.
For John Thompson, it all began with the desire to help people of all sizes and fitness levels live a healthier lifestyle. As a nationally certified personal trainer and fitness coach, John used his know-how to devise the high-intensity Ultimate 30-Minute Workout Experience, an effective, time-efficient workout that targets the whole body. Held 34 times a week, each group workout session combines cardio, weights, and abdominal exercises to boost sluggish metabolisms, tone muscles, and evict stress from tense bodies. To bolster the workout regimen, John and his fit-savvy crew craft custom nutrition programs, providing an easy-to-follow eating blueprint that helps clients establish healthy noshing habits and fit back into their high-school swim goggles.
Like fancy suits, sofa sets are sewn from the same cut of fabric. These matching sets provide a well-rounded look in living rooms, but near misses tend to clash due to their small differences. At 20 show rooms throughout the western US, Mor Furniture for Less arranges complete-room sets so customers can envision the collections in their own homes. Furniture for living rooms, dining rooms, and children's rooms can be found in each store along with individual lamps, tables, and entertainment centers. The stores also carry complete sets of beds, dressers, and nightstands so that homeowners don't receive criticism from design bloggers in their dreams.
Don?t try to get Jerry to spill the beans on how he makes his pizzas. A secret list of ingredients makes up the sauce, and a secret old-country tradition goes into making the dough. And a traditional stone-hearth oven may or may not cook the pies to a crisp finish. But Jerry will let you know which toppings he uses, so you can customize your crust with a secret white sauce, jalape?os, Louisiana hot sausage, red onions, and artichoke hearts. Jerry will also toss all the pizza toppings into a doughy calzone pocket if customers so choose. And on the weekends, while Jerry is busy in the kitchen, live musicians and butter sculptors entertain guests.
Because no two bodies are alike, The Relaxologiists at Mattress Land use their exclusive bedFit diagnostic technology to determine the ideal snooze position for each customer, as well as the ideal mattress. Comfy Sleep surfaces come from premier brands such as Beautyrest, Sealy PosturePedic, Stearns and Foster, and SleepFit. Shoppers can also upgrade to latex mattresses or Custom mattresses made for each sleepier with separate sides, which accommodates the differing body types of spouses and accidentally conjoined mad scientists.
Ethel's Old Corral, sitting on a rural 10-acre plot, exudes rugged, Western spirit with a 26-foot Native American statue that salutes visitors and welcomes the many bikers who mosey up for down-home cuisine.
