Pre-doctoral Internship
Child Guidance Clinic - Pre-doctoral Internship
Child Guidance Clinic - Pre-doctoral Internship (2updated)
The Child Guidance Clinic of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia
The Child Guidance Clinic is an integral part of the Division of Court Social Services within the Family Court of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. The Child Guidance Clinic has multiple functions but the core function of the Clinic is to provide the Family Court with critical information derived from the Clinic's court ordered forensic psychological evaluations. These evaluations help inform judicial decision making and other stakeholders concerned with providing services to adjudicated juveniles while safeguarding the community. Throughout the internship, interns learn the skills required to assess and treat juveniles and to utilize these skills in the service of consultation to other professionals within the context of the legal system. By the end of the internship, interns are expected to have the skills consistent with functioning as license eligible, early career professional psychologists.
The Pre-Doctoral Internship Program in Psychology
The Child Guidance Clinic's psychology internship program has been accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA) since 2005. The internship was reaccredited in 2011 for an additional five years. The Clinic is staffed by five full-time licensed psychologists, two post-doctoral residents and two deputy clerks, who provide administrative support for the Clinic's programs and the internship. The five full-time licensed psychologists have diverse professional experiences and expertise, but all are well versed in forensic assessment and other skill areas required by the needs of the Superior Court. The core faculty and Training Committee is comprised of Chief Psychologist Michael E. Barnes, PhD, the Director of Internship Training Mitchell H. Hugonnet, PhD, Mary Donnelly PhD, Rachel Martell, Psy.D and Malcolm Woodland, PhD.
To apply to the internship, candidates must be enrolled in an APA accredited doctoral psychology program and certified for internship eligibility by their university. Applicants must have completed at least 120 assessment hours of supervised, face to face, client and collateral contact hours. These face to face hours are earned in the course of conducting comprehensive psychological assessment batteries. In practice, applicants need to have written approximately 15 comprehensive assessment reports in order to be considered by the Training Committee. Brief psychological screenings do not count towards this requirement; typically an additional 20-30 hours are required to write the actual comprehensive assessment report. Prior training experiences consistent with the training offerings of the internship are viewed favorably. The intern stipend is $24,865 per annum, paid bi-weekly. As temporary employees, interns are not eligible for health insurance and are therefore encouraged to obtain personal health insurance through their university or other means. Interns do not accrue sick and annual leave or compensatory (comp) time.
The internship program is guided by the Practitioner-Scholar training model. This model integrates extant scholarship and scientific methods to enable the intern to learn how to assess, diagnose, and treat clients with evidence based interventions. The Clinic defines scholarship to include scientific knowledge, methods and evidence based practice. The internship is designed to integrate this base of scholarship with psychology practice. Interns are expected to graduate with scientifically informed versatility and skill across a variety of mental health service delivery settings.
The goal of the internship is to develop the critical thinking skills needed to excel within diverse and varied professional psychology service settings. Interns graduate prepared for entry level generalist professional practice with a concentration in forensic assessment. While the internship offers a wide range of clinical training experiences to develop the intern's core competencies, psychological assessment is emphasized in this internship. Core competencies are taught and evaluated in the following areas:
•Assessment & Diagnosis
•Psychological Treatment & Intervention
•Ethical Conduct & Professional Behavior
•Individual & Cultural Diversity
•Scholarly Inquiry & Evidenced Based Practice
•Consultation, Teaching & Supervision
•Research & Program Evaluation
I. Psychological Assessment & Diagnosis:
Psychological assessment is emphasized in this internship. The core assumption of the Child Guidance Clinic's internship model is that comprehensive assessment training provides the conceptual underpinning for thoughtful, informed and effective delivery of most psychological services. These assessments typically inform many stakeholders within the Family Court. For example, the Clinic's assessments are heavily relied upon by judges, attorneys and probation officers throughout the trial and disposition process. The intern's work product is used to craft specific elements of probation supervision and educational placement hearings, establish treatment needs for psychiatric medication, addiction treatment or inpatient hospitalization. Increasingly, the Clinic's interns are afforded the opportunity to assess, prepare and sometimes provide expert testimony about forensic issues such as competency to stand trial and various risk assessments.
The training program reflects this objective by devoting considerable time to teaching the assessment process with an intense but graduated approach. Expected competencies would include a: knowledge of measurement and psychometrics, b: knowledge of assessment methods, c: application of assessment methods, d: diagnosis, e: conceptualization and recommendations, f: communication of assessment findings, g: report writing with the timeliness and precision required in a forensic environment. Achievement of these goals would be reflected in mastery of the following skills whereby the intern readily be able to: a: select assessment measures with attention to issues of reliability and validity, b: demonstrate awareness of the strengths and limitations of administration, scoring and interpretation of traditional assessment measures, c: select appropriate assessment measures to answer diagnostic questions, d: apply concepts of normal/abnormal behavior to case formulation and diagnosis in the context of stages of human development and diversity, e: utilize systematic approaches of gathering data to inform clinical decision-making, f: write assessment reports that communicate assessment findings particular audiences, g: write reports with the precision required in a forensic environment, h: complete reports within Court mandated deadlines
Training staff recognize that interns start the internship with diverse experiences and training needs in the area of psychological assessment. This is taken into account for each intern with an individualized, graduated and sequential training process. Cases are screened and assigned to interns by staff psychologists on the basis of the intern's growing level of competence.
For every assessment case, the intern and supervisor review pertinent background information in order to develop an assessment strategy to address specific referral questions. Interns are thereby introduced to a broad range of assessment methods including the clinical interview, collateral interviews, developmental history, behavioral observations and rating scales, cognitive, educational, self-report and projective tests. Specialized forensic assessment instruments are employed to assess competency to stand trial, violence and sexual violence risk, Miranda waivers to name but a few. Computer scoring is available for most instruments. Hypothesis development and integration of data to test hypotheses is accomplished through individual and group supervision.
II. Psychological Treatment & Intervention:
Interns perform supervised individual and group psychotherapy with adolescents and young adults. Interns are assigned up to seven court-referred juveniles, two young adults and conduct topical therapy groups. In the process, interns gain experience with culturally and diagnostically diverse individuals. Individual treatment may consist of short (10 sessions) and long-term (one-year) therapy. Training in crisis intervention is typically experiential as well as didactic.
Every week, interns participate in individual psychotherapy supervision, which is complemented by weekly case conferences and didactic or experiential group supervision. Various evidence based therapies, personality theories, and treatment techniques are taught and applied to specific cases and treatment populations. Interns are responsible to the Court for the provision of monthly progress reports to inform the Court of the juvenile's progress in treatment; treatment is almost always provided within the context of the juvenile's probation requirements.
By the conclusion of the internship, interns are expected to have developed entry-level competencies in: a: formulating and conceptualizing cases and develop treatment planning interventions utilizing at least one consistent theoretical orientation, b: displaying clinical skills and effective interventions, c: implementing evidence-based interventions, d: evaluating treatment progress and modifying treatment plans as required and utilizing established outcome measures, e: forming, developing and maintaining therapeutic relationships, f: understanding the process of psychotherapy.
Group psychotherapy training has two components: The first component involves on-site experience in the Child Guidance Clinic treating juvenile sex offenders, restoring competency for trial and conducting focused groups such as anger management, grief, teenage parenting, sex education and drug education and alternative life style issues. The second component is comprised of a group therapy rotation at Howard University's Counseling Service. Interns participate with the Howard University interns in a weekly group psychotherapy seminar. This entails observation of a therapy group followed by discussion, participation in their own process group, group supervision, culminating with the intern co-leading a group. Howard University psychologists who hold specialized certifications in group therapy supervise interns in group therapy.
By the conclusion of the internship, interns are expected to have developed entry-level competencies in: screening potential group members, writing group therapy treatment contracts, understanding theories of group processes, applying theories to the here-and-now process when co-leading a group, interpreting group processes, and gaining self-knowledge through participation in their own process group.
III. Ethical Conduct & Professional Behavior:
Adherence to The American Psychological Association's (APA) Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (hereinafter referred to as the Ethics Code) is integral to all aspects of the internship. Interns are expected to understand and incorporate the Ethics Code in their delivery of clinical services and be able to apply the code to other professional activities such as teaching, supervision and consultation. The in-house ethics seminar is required during internship orientation. Further training in elements of the Ethics Code is accomplished in supervision, case conferences and didactic presentations. The APA Ethics Code and forensic specialty guidelines are provided in the Intern Handbook. Interns are expected to demonstrate an awareness of ethical issues and sensitivity to ethical conflicts and capacity for thoughtful resolution. There are specific competencies that the intern would be expected to meet at the time of formal evaluations: a: knowledge and understanding of the APA Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct and other relevant standards and guidelines, laws, statutes, rules, and regulations, b: knowledge and application of an ethical decision-making model, c: knowledge of The Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing and the Specialty Guidelines in Forensic Psychology.
IV. Individual & Cultural Diversity:
The impact of culture and individual diversity upon service delivery is considered across many training activities. Interns learn about the influence of race (in this setting, primarily African-American), ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, urban culture, socio-economic status and on occasion, nationality. This training is provided by clinical case assignments, case conferences, didactic seminars and assigned readings. By the conclusion of internship, interns are expected to have developed entry-level competencies in these areas. The clinic emphasizes understanding individual and cultural diversity (ICD) issues that may affect the process and outcome in assessment, therapy and consultation. The interns will be graded in these specific areas: a: monitoring and applying knowledge of self as a cultural being in assessment, treatment, and consultation, b: applying knowledge of others as cultural beings in assessment, treatment, and consultation, c: applying knowledge of the role of culture in interactions in assessment, treatment, and consultation of diverse others, d: applying knowledge, sensitivity, and understanding regarding ICD issues in order to work effectively with diverse individuals in the course of assessment, treatment, and consultation.
V. Scholarly Inquiry & Evidenced Based Practice:
The internship offers clinical training designed to integrate scholarship and evidence based practice in psychology. Training objectives include understanding the nature of empirically and scientifically derived knowledge, research methods and evidence based practice. The Clinic's research lab provides direct instruction in these areas supplemented by seminars, supervision and off-site workshops. Interns progressively learn to review and integrate research literature into their clinical work in assessment, treatment and consultation. Expected competencies will be assessed across these dimensions: a: application of scientific methods to professional practice, b: demonstration of intermediate level knowledge of scientific bases of behavior, c: demonstration of knowledge and application of evidence-based practice, d: application of empirically based assessment, intervention and other psychological applications.
VI. Consultation, Teaching & Supervision:
The Child Guidance Clinic has a strong commitment to the development of consultation skills over the course of the internship. Interns will understand how to practice collaboratively and provide consultation to other disciplines, including lawyers, probation officers, educators, psychiatrists, social workers and others. Interns will learn, understand and practice effective communication and consultation tailored to the needs and requirements of particular stakeholders and different settings. Typically interns are asked to identify, specify, explain and discuss the juvenile's unique history, diagnosis, treatment needs, educational placement recommendations and placement issues. Interns may provide testimony as fact witnesses based upon the results of treatment or assessment of a particular client. Expected competencies include: a: demonstrating knowledge of the consultant's role and its unique features as distinguished from other professional roles (such as therapist, supervisor, teacher), b: demonstrating the ability to select appropriate means of assessment to answer referral questions, c: identifying issues and knowledge about the process of communicating assessment findings, d: identifying literature relevant to consultation methods within systems, clients, or settings.
Opportunities for supervised training experiences in teaching and supervision is provided during the internship program. Training includes didactic presentations in seminars, division wide training offered to probation officers and court-wide training to judicial personnel within the Family Court. Interns may supervise clinical externs in specific and limited activities connected with assessment and intervention activities. Supervised experiential training is supplemented by assigned reading in theories of supervision. Specific training goals assessed in formal performance reviews include a: the skills required to provide instruction across various settings and b: the ability to provide helpful supervisory input in peer and group supervision.
Child Guidance Clinic - Pre-doctoral Internship (3)
VII. Research & Program Evaluation:
Opportunities for research are plentiful within the internship program. Interns have the opportunity to join on-going research projects in the Clinics research lab. Alternatively, interns may tap into the Clinic's extensive assessment archives for their own research. The Clinic has over a 10 years worth of archival data than can be utilized in research. Research conducted at the Court must be approved by the Court's Institutional Review Board (IRB), in conjunction with approval from the student's university advisor and IRB.
The internship requires all interns to complete in the formal program evaluation training program conducted by the Department of Mental Health (DMH). This training takes place over a three to five day period during the late winter and early spring.
Interns will be graded on these parameters: a: development of skills to apply and evaluate theory and research relevant to the practice of clinical and forensic psychology, b: developing aptitude to apply scientific methods to evaluating clinical practice, intervention, treatment programs and larger scale systems.
Offsite Training Rotations
Group Therapy Training at Howard University
The Howard University Counseling Service rotation provides didactic and supervised experiential training in group psychotherapy. Interns are exposed to the major theories that guide the practice of group therapy. The Tavistock model is one focal point in the training program. Intern led therapy groups may include short-term counseling, specific issue groups, and open-ended group psychotherapy.
Internship Minor Rotations
Minor Rotations last approximately 4 months. There are two required minor rotations and two optional minor rotations in the internship program. These rotations are designed to enhance and ensure comprehensive training by the Child Guidance Clinic internship. These minor rotations afford broad clinical training experiences with adults, children and other populations not directly served by the Clinic. The rotations are readily accessible within other parts of the Court or via Metrorail
Required Minor Rotations:
1.Required rotation in adult individual psychotherapy: The Howard University Counseling Service provides interns with opportunities for supervised clinical experiences conducting individual psychotherapy with matriculating undergraduate and graduate students. Interns receive training in psychoanalytic, object relations and interpersonal therapeutic approaches. Interns have the option to begin this four month rotation in either September or February. Interns receive supervision on site from licensed staff psychologists.
2.Required rotation in adult forensic assessment: The Forensic Legal Services Branch of St. Elizabeths Hospital is a four month rotation beginning the last week of March and ending the third week of July. This rotation affords supervised training experiences in adult pretrial forensic evaluation. The rotation site is in the Moultrie Courthouse. Interns conduct competency to stand trial evaluations under the on-site supervision of three licensed forensic psychologists. While the primary focus of this required rotation is to learn how to perform court-ordered competency assessments with adult defendants, there are opportunities to participate in criminal responsibility evaluations and to observe expert testimony on a wide range of adult forensic issues including competency to stand trial, insanity, sentencing and other psycho-legal issues. This required rotation supplements the Friday morning adult forensic psychology seminar held at the newly opened St. Elizabeths Hospital from September through April.
Optional Minor Rotations:
1.Optional rotation in child trauma assessment and treatment: The Child Advocacy Center (CAC) is a privately funded clinic for the assessment and treatment of traumatized children and young adolescents. In 2010 the CAC moved to a new facility just eight blocks from the Clinic. Interns receive supervised experience conducting trauma treatment with children. This site is the primary interview site used by the Metropolitan Police Department for forensic interviewing child victims of crime. All interns spend one week in August at the CAC for an immersion learning experience in forensic trauma assessment. Interns observe forensic interviews behind a one-way mirror and may observe post-interview debriefings.

Lindsey Lowe, the Hendersonville woman accused of smothering her newborn twins to death, was led from a Gallatin courtroom sobbing late Wednesday afternoon. Lowe became visibly upset as the final witness of the day, Reeves Garnett, a special agent with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation was speaking about text messages exchanged between Lowe and the babies' father, Jeremy Smith. A sobbing Lowe was taken out of the courtroom just before 5 p.m. She returned a few minutes later after regaining her composure.Earlier in the day, jurors watched a two hour video interview with Lowe and Detective Steve Malach that was conducted days after the infants' deaths. During the interview, Lowe said she was aware of her pregnancy almost immediately, however she did not seek treatment and that she knew she killed her children. "My family is very conservative, Christian people and I just didn't want to disappoint anybody," Lowe said. Lowe added she placed her hand over the infants' mouths until they stopped crying. When asked, the then 25-year-old said the father of the babies was her fiancé, though she later said the father was Smith. "I was scared. I didn't want to disappoint [my fiancé], he was going through a lot," Lowe said in the taped interview. Lowe also added she was afraid to admit her pregnancy to her fiancé because she "knew she would lose him."Lowe gave birth to the twins in a bathroom at her family's Hendersonville home on September 12, 2011.She said the babies were moving after she gave birth, though she did not look to see the gender of the babies."I didn't know what to do," she told police in an interview. "I was just trying to keep them quiet, with my hand down there, over their mouth." After giving birth to the babies, Lowe said she cleaned up the bathroom she shared with her sister and took a shower before returning to bed. After playing the two-hour interview in its entirety, Malach was cross-examined by Lowe's defense attorney, John Pellegrin. During the cross-examination, Pellegrin was trying to illustrate that Malach was not up front with Lowe about her interview and what was happening. "You chose to take her to the police station before seeking any medical help?" Pellegrin questioned, to which Malach replied, "Yes, sir." "Knowing that Ms. Lowe had suffered extreme blood loss, you didn't do anything to ascertain if she had good memory," Pellegrin added. The jury is expected to stay longer Wednesday night so they can move quickly through the long witness list. More than two dozen people may be called to the stand.Lowe openly wept in court Tuesday as jurors heard the emotional testimony from the first responders who were called to her parent's home in September 2011. The trial is expected to continue through the end of the week.

With more than $7 billion in box office revenue and 27 Academy Awards, Pixar has done the seemingly impossible: It has made acclaimed films that actually make money. Most Hollywood films generally fall into one of two categories: money-makers or award winners. The studio has successfully managed to combine the two, so what is the secret to their success?
Getting at the Heart of It
It may not seem like talking cars and an old man riding in a balloon-powered house have much in common, but the truth is every Pixar film shares one major component: heart. As Andrew Stanton explained at Disney's D23 event in 2011, "With each film, we try just for one moment to capture that same wonder we felt when we were younger, as if it were an obligation to carry on that wonder, to infect others so that they can also do it to others."
Heart is not something that comes out of any screenwriting formulas or filmmaking conventions. It is something that is produced out of the perfect balance of passionate storytelling and strong character development, in order to create a strong emotional connection with the audience.
Pixar is clearly on the cutting edge when it comes to computer animation. One need only watch Toy Story alongside Toy Story 3 to see how advanced the technology has grown since the studio first began operating. While technological innovation is certainly a key component to the studio's success, it is actually their unique and innovative storytelling that truly defines them as a leader in the industry.
Though out-of-the-box may seem like a trite way to describe the studio's style, there is really no better way to explain the choices that the studio has made when it comes to story. Though every new Pixar film is a success, the studio doesn't fixate on recreating the same stories and elements every time. There are no clearer examples of this than 2008's Wall-E and 2009's Up. Both of these films are so far removed from the typical subjects of children's animated films it's a wonder they were actually made. Thankfully, they were, because they are both shining examples of how the studio's willingness to take risks pays off.
A four-quadrant film, by definition, is one that appeals to all four major demographics of moviegoers: males, females, young and old. Though all of Pixar's films could arguably fall under the four-quadrant category, one of the best examples is The Incredibles. At first glance an animated film about superheroes may not seem like an obvious four-quadrant story, but, in fact, the universal appeal of this film is staggering.
Superhero stories of any kind are generally male-oriented. The idea of kids becoming superheroes has an obvious appeal to a young audience as well. What may not be quite as apparent are the feminist undertones that Elastigirl's story evokes. She is the embodiment of a woman balancing work with motherhood, and her story helps create a strong emotional investment for the female audience. At its core The Incredibles is really the story of one man's midlife crisis. Mature audiences can certainly relate to the concept of coming to terms with disappointment in how your life has turned out. With all the bases covered it's easy to see why audiences flocked to this film.
All of these elements come together to make Pixar's films successful, both financially and critically. The model is not limited to animated films and can be applied to any medium and genre, from live-action features to student films.

Serve indivdual files, but hide folder from public view
Hey all,
I have a possibly silly web security issue I cant figure out.
Im serving sensitive files to individuals in a program database. I want the users to be able to click links to view these files in their own secure member areas. However, since these are all in the same documents folder anybody can just view the folder root and see everybodys files.
Theres too many users to create folders and htaccess's for all, unless im dumb and there is a way.
Am i missing the obvious solution or does anybody have a good way to do this. Just want users to be able to view personal documents but keep the folder itself hidden.
Any help is awesome, Thanks!

I do not have much knowledge in that area and, in fact, I am hopeful others will chime in about file access control so I can learn a thing or two. Such as: if you control file access through PHP with the files stored above public_html, which PHP function(s) do you use to transmit the file to the browser, which headers should you use, and once the file transmission has begun, does the PHP script end with no max_execution_time issues with the server taking over? I am basically looking for how one would protect files for a membership site.
So if anyone has any information to share or links to info, I would be glad to see it because this is one gap I would like to fill.

If you're talking about someone going to
and getting Apache's default list of it's file contents, you can put this in that folder's (or higher up if you prefer this for all folders) htaccess file.

If not, it sounds like cheesedude's answer is the way to go.

Has anyone seen the new bridge over the railway at Kilbarrack DART Station?
Although it spans a large area I think the
whole look of it is impressive particularly
the spiralling shapes on either side.

"Green" Food for St. Patrick's Day
This Saturday, March 17, marks the celebration or shall we say the feast day of St. Patrick. For years the Irish would partake in this day with traditional Irish food and drink. In the 19th century, the color green became a symbol of Ireland and it has made its presence in the form of a [&hellip

A West Fargo woman rang in the new year with a new addition to the family. Meet 7 pound, 11 ounce Adrian Blake Swanson. He is the first baby born in the Fargo-Moorhead area in 2014.
Adrian was born around 2:40 a.m. Wednesday, January 1, 2014. His mom, Paige Swanson, says Adrian was three days overdue, but he is definitely worth the wait.
"Great! It was a good surprise for the first new years baby in 2014, so it was worth the wait for sure," Swanson says.
Adrian is Paige's first child and she says her family is excited for the new baby.
"Oh yeah, very excited. My parents have been here. They were up like all day yesterday and no sleep. So they're very excited."
Paige says she went to the hospital a couple times on Tuesday but was sent home. Once Adrian was ready to be born, everything went smoothly and both mom and the little guy are doing fine.

Borough slimmers have a spring clean for charity
8:00am Tuesday 13th May 2014 in News
BOROUGH slimmers have joined together to spring clean their wardrobes for charity.
Slimming World members have donated their unwanted, clothes, shoes and accessories to Cancer Research as part of the national fundraising campaign, The Big Slimming World Clothes Throw.
Members have filled more than 200 bags, which will be distributed to the charity's shops across the borough.
Ann Blundell, Slimming World's local team developer, said: "I'm delighted that my members are always so keen to pull together and support local good causes.
"Cancer touches so many people's lives so most people are keen to contribute.
"The money raised will support Cancer Research UK's research that helps to find new treatments and, in the long term a cure for cancer."

Semmes, A Brooklyn-based artist, is known internationally for her unique multimedia installations. She works in contradictions, challenging the conventional definitions of craft and "women's work" by creating completely non-functional pieces out of traditional materials such as clay and fabric. Treading the line between fantasy and reality, she evokes visions of fairy tales with her massively lush silk and velvet dresses, pieces that evolved from costumes the artist designed for her photographic and video pieces. Semmes' ceramic and crystal pots defy the time-honored symmetry and beauty expected in pottery and glass. Although irregular and distorted, the crystal work poses a dazzling contrast to the lusciously colored, but misshapen, clay pots. Organized by the Hunter Museum of American Art, Chattanooga.

PHOTO EXCLUSIVE: Backstage at Broadway's Mary Poppins With Original "Mrs. Corry," Janelle Anne Robinson
By Matthew Blank
Broadway's Mary Poppins recently celebrated its 6th anniversary at the New Amsterdam Theatre. Original cast member Janelle Anne Robinson invites Playbill.com to have a peek backstage during a recent two-show day.
On Nov. 20, the production played its 2,500th performance, and on Nov. 23 at 2 PM, the musical becomes the 23rd longest-running show in Broadway history, surpassing The Producers.
Mary Poppins is the third Disney Theatrical Productions show (following Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King) and the fifth Cameron Mackintosh show (joining Cats, Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera and Miss Saigon) to play five or more years on Broadway.
Worldwide to date, the show has grossed over $731 million and welcomed more than 10 million guests.
The Broadway cast stars Steffanie Leigh in the title role and Tony Award nominee Gavin Lee as Bert.
Mary Poppins, a co-production by Disney and Cameron Mackintosh, is based on P.L. Travers' stories and the classic 1964 Walt Disney film. The score boasts the film's Academy Award-winning music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, with new songs by Olivier Award winners George Stiles and Anthony Drewe.
The stage production was created, in collaboration with Cameron Mackintosh, by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes, who wrote the book; and Olivier Award-winning director Richard Eyre.

Giant hill to climb to get there, no way around it. Bunk beds are three beds high, the middle one broke through when I sat on it, luckily no one was underneath me at the time, otherwise they would have been badly injured.

Hostel situation on a steep hill - do not stay here unless you are a fitness fanatic. Location was not great. 12 beds cramed into a room fit for 8. Mattresses and room very dirty. No bar area and music stereo place right outside dorm room - not good if you want a bit a peace. Breakfast was good and there is use of a kitchen. Reception staff very helpful with providing travel information.

Mackensie Alexander, one of the top cornerbacks in the country, has been a tough recruit to follow. Out of Immokalee, Fla., High School, he rarely does interviews, and when he does, he seems to enjoy playing with reporters and having fun with the recruiting process.
Alexander was not expected at the Florida St. Seminoles' camp, as he was at the Alabama Crimson Tide's camp, but then again, it's probably wise to not be surprised by anything Alexander does.
Josh Newberg snapped this photo of Alexander clowning around with Florida State defensive coordinator Mark Stoops:
CB Mackensie Alexander mixing it up with coach Mark Stoops at #FSU camp. twitter.com/joshnewberg247…— Josh Newberg (@joshnewberg247) July 19, 2012
Previously, Alexander had committed to join the Tennessee Volunteers without ever making a visit to Knoxville. He subsequently decommitted and reopened his recruitment. Florida State has offered his brother, Mackenro, a safety who is considerably less heralded. There is also a question as to the pair making it into school academically, but they have expressed a desire to play together in the past.

Just after 12:45 p.m. Terry McAuliffe became Virginia's 72nd Governor.
Thousands of people gathered in what was at times pouring rain to see the inauguration including Bill and Hilary Clinton, who are close friends with the McAuliffe's.
Southsiders Sarah Dunavant (Halifax) and Andrew Lester (Danville) say McAuliffe's strance against uranium mining brouth them to the inauguration.
But it turned out to be much more than they ever expected.
"It was well worth it," Dunavant said about waiting in the rain. "This is quite an experience. The electricity, just being here in the crowd and taking part in history."
"We felt like we were in a dream," Lester said. "It was like a movie or something and it's just a great atmosphere."
McAuliffe made the most of his first few hours as governor by signing several executive orders, including one limiting the value of gifts his administration or their families can accept to $100.
This comes as former Governor Bob McDonnell leaves office dealing with a FBI investigation into gifts he received from former Star Scientific CEO Johnnie Williams.
"I will ask the entire General Assembly to enact the strongest possible new ethics rules to hold all Virginia elected officials to the highest of standards," McAuliffe said during his inaugural speech.
The celebration continued through the afternoon with the inagural parade.
Bands from Martinsville, Pulaski County, and Patrick County high schools performed, along with the Virginia Tech Highty Tighties.
It helped ring in a new era in Richmond, one McAuliffe is eager to begin.
"These next four years will be our moment to again show Americans what can be accomplished by mainstream leaders and to show Virginians that we will live up to their expectation of consensus driven progress," McAuliffe said.

Left, Right, Conservative Light
One hundred years ago today, the "Titanic" sank. She came to rest at a depth greater than the height of Mount Hood in Oregon. We mourn the beautiful ship that went down. We mourn even more the 1517 people that died unnecessarily early that morning in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic. One reason for the current on-going popularity of the subject of the great ship is that she was the luxurious, graceful and grand pinnacle of human ingenuity at the time. It's wonderful to relive those days of grandeur and confidence, while forgetting the tragedy and the awful loss.
Is that how we will, some day, think back on the "once great" United States of America? Personally, I would rather not let that happen. There were three ships built like the Titanic, we only remember the one that got away. Her sister ship, the "Olympic" came to be nick-named "Old Reliable." That's where we should be with the USA.
What is the political iceberg in our way? Can we save ourselves, or are the lifeboats being deployed half empty, and not enough of them anyway?
Thinking of half-empty lifeboats, Romney's remarks that he was a "severe" conservative keeps being quoted from time to time. In my mind, the term "severe" conjures up an association with a large, destructive thunderstorm that creates much havoc. Is that how Romney thinks of conservatism? Is he that ignorant of the true concept of conservatism?
I have the greatest respect for "The Great One", Mark Levin, who has vividly described what it is to be an American conservative. Nevertheless, in a nutshell, let me humbly present my own brief take on what it means to be a conservative: Basically, to "conserve" is just another word for "preserve." A conservationist would wish to preserve natural resources. Likewise, a political conservative wishes to preserve or maintain an existing order, or to resist change from that order. In the USA that's a little late, for so much has already changed. Wasn't it hope and CHANGE that Obama promised? So we could argue that, in this context, an American political conservative wishes to resist any deviations from the order of the Unites States as originally constituted.
Based upon that we have a somewhat simple definition of a conservative; so one either wants to preserve the United States as she was defined, or else let it slide without resisting change. There is nothing in the middle – either resist change or let it happen. Looking at it this way you can't grade conservatism on a curve. Although enthusiasm and devotion can be measured, conservatism itself doesn't come in degrees of intensity. So where do we classify the "moderates?"
Now let's consider the terms "Left-wing" and "Right-wing." I am told that the origin of these terms came during the French Revolution (1789). The National Assembly was divided broadly into two camps: those who supported religion, the old order and the Bourgeoisie or aristocracy; and those who favored all the changes of the revolution. The first group sat apart and to the right from the revolutionaries ". . . so as to avoid the shouts, oaths, and indecencies that enjoyed free rein in the opposing camp." This was generally (off and on) followed in subsequent regimes: i.e. Legislative Assembly, National Convention, the Restoration, and the Third Republic; which gradually came to be the recognized seating for socialists and conservatives. There were also those who sat in the middle. They were not on the right. It is interesting to note that this arrangement was imitated by other European countries; and after the Bolshevik revolution, Russian Socialism constituted four parties initially, among whom were the "Left Socialist Revolutionaries."
In modern America this arrangement has come to differentiate the Democrats (most of whom are socialists/liberals) from the Republicans (not all of whom are socialists/liberals). One can see how the division has blurred. However, those favoring conservatism are generally considered to be "Right-wing", while the rest might identify themselves either as "Left-wing" or "Moderates". It must be lonely to be a conservative in Washington. Thankfully, that's not the case in the rest of America.
Nazi's and Fascists – are they Right-wing? Nazi is the abbreviation of: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National Socialist German Workers' Party). So who said Socialism was Right-wing? Of course, they made a big show of destroying the Communist Party (KPD), blamed them for the Reichstag fire, then picked up their votes. They called themselves "right-wing". (Right . . and Goebbels had a passion for the truth . . .) On October 10th, 2011, Jim Hoft of the e-paper "Human Events" had the following headline regarding the American Nazi Party: "Nazi Party and Communist Party Support Occupy Wall Street – So does Obama". Don't fall for it, folks – that's Left-wing!
The Fascists in Italy were not Nazis, the name came from the "fasces", which consisted of a bundle of rods that were tied around a Roman soldier's axe. Like SPQR (Senātus Populus que Rōmānus), it was the old Roman symbol of civic authority. Use of the symbol was the concept of Benito Mussolini, a socialist party member, who had been brought up as a socialist from childhood. Both parties were harshly authoritarian and nationalistic. They were not right-wing conservatives seeking liberty and justice for all. Don't be fooled. The way I read into it from history: if right-wing means conservative, then the above descriptions exclude Nazis and Fascists. If not right-wing, then where do they fit – with moderates? It suits the Leftists to paint any radical extremists to be "right-wing". That seems to be working and too many have believed them.
Throughout history, left wing radical politics has proven to be harsh, from the guillotine of the French revolution onwards. Robespierre, Hitler, Mussolini, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Kim Il-sung, Castro, Ho Chi Minh, and others all became responsible for a multitude of deaths and misery of their own people. There are those in this country on the Left that admire some of those in that list. That's frightening.
There is nothing "severe" about a true conservative. One can be an enthusiastic conservative, or a devoted conservative, but not a moderate conservative. What about a "fiscal" conservative? Who knows what that means. I suggest that those folks should call themselves "capitalists". Conservatives go deeper. If they do not subscribe to conservatism, then they should not pretend to be conservatives. There is no "severe" conservative, neither can there be "extreme" conservatism. The Communists, Nazis and Fascists are on the Left. The term "compassionate conservative" is redundant, and implies that there is a dispassionate conservatism. That's dumb.
Here's what I believe as a conservative:
Broadly speaking, it can be argued that a conservative believes in freedom from unnecessary government interference in our private lives, homes, possessions, food, learning, thinking, work, worship and recreation. I believe that conservatives honor God, but accept that not all will agree on the details. A conservative will expect to feel free to express religious convictions (or not), and worship in public without hindrance. Separation of church and state should protect the church from the state; not the other way round. The traditional family unit should be the center, the building block of society. Conservatives would be bold to protect the innocent, the week, and the unborn. They should feel constrained to take care of the poor and needy themselves, and not expect the government to do it for them, thereby letting themselves off the hook.
Business would be encouraged to reward and incentivize initiative, risk and hard work. Energy and natural resources would be managed responsibly. Market forces would apply. Profits are productive, provide incentive, encourage employment and benefit the economy. Respect would be earned, and credit for achievement and success must be recognized and rewarded. Education would be the responsibility of the parents and teachers; but the accountability for laziness would not be placed upon anyone but the lazy. The harder the struggle, the greater the reward. Children would be taught the truth in science and history, and would be encouraged to learn and enjoy the traditions and festivals of free Americans. Showing respect earns respect. Discipline is not a dirty word; and it promotes self-discipline and character.
Conservatives do not shrink from the truth and, shunning political correctness, will not tolerate the actions and lies of those who violate the laws, norms and morals of a just society. Tolerance excludes acceptance of evil and immorality. Although they don't tolerate their actions, they will nevertheless show impartiality and justice towards those individuals. Each individual is recognized to be unique regarding personality, beliefs, aspirations and abilities. Consequently, minorities and those who differ in belief and opinion would not suffer prejudice. What is fair and just for the individual would take precedence over the convenience of the party or the government. Mutual respect will be observed among all, and self respect would be encouraged. A conservative enjoys laughter, and possesses a clean sense of humor.
"We the People" are defined by conservatives as those who have a legal right to residence and citizenship in the USA. Conservatives will jealously guard the rights inherited by "We the People", constantly protecting them against usurpers. Unlike those usurpers, they will understand and be ready to contribute to and participate in the responsibilities and demands of citizenship. A just and legal system of access to residence and citizenship in the USA would be encouraged, recognizing that those who take on citizenship by a conscious, informed choice (if not by birth) would be welcomed.
Regarding the country, a conservative will honor the flag, the constitution, its rightful leaders, and observe the law. They will prepare and fight to defend their Nation and their freedom. A conservative will honor, with gratitude, those who fight for our country. A conservative will expect – nay demand that those in office will respect the office to which they have been elected or appointed. As civil servants they will be held accountable by "We the People" of the United States of America, who will command their respect in return.
Is there anything severe about that? What is there to be ashamed of? Is that old fashioned? In a degenerating society, old fashioned is better. The Liberals/Marxists and the moderates can stay on the Left. As conservatives we should always aspire to do what's "Right".

What happens on other devices? There is a bug-reporting set of pages available via "Contact and feedback", Series 40 bugs seem to be reported here: http://www.developer.nokia.com/bugs/...ct=Series%2040
Example code below.
JME SDK emulator displays "feff 61 62 63", as do Series 60 devices, older Series 40s, other MIDP devices. I also see the same behaviour of String() on Java SE, Android and BlackBerry, so I regard this as "correct".
The Asha 302 devices on Nokia RDA display only "61 62 63", as does (I now discover) my C3-01, so it has been a Series 40 issue for sometime.
It is not causing me a problem, I'm just posting it for information.

Here's my situation: sometimes for my workouts I drink a protein shake after in order to ensure my body has adequate protein. Also sometimes I'll drink a protein shake at night on days the workout is really intense (at night I drink Muscle Milk the natural version).
Since the paleo diet forbids dairy, what do you use after your workouts or before going to bed to make sure you're getting enough protein? During the day I don't always have enough time for a meal plus since they're in liquid form protein shakes usually deliver protein that can be rapidly assimilated into your body, which is important after working out. Thanks

If it has to be liquid then raw eggs would work - pasteurized if you're worried about salmonella. If that seems gross, hard-boiled eggs are a nice, neat, easy-to-carry package.
Personally, I'm a little cautious about phrases like "the paleo diet forbids XYZ". For many paleo/primal people this isn't a religion and it isn't caveman LARPing. Relatively speaking, it's a science in it's infancy - well, maybe it's teenager-hood. Many of us try out the various current, apparent paleo principles and see how they work for us (I won't call it "science" at this personal level since most of us aren't really doing controlled, double-blind experiments on ourselves). We're just trying to avoid being kicked out of the gene-pool and still have a little fun.
The most effective and quickly absorbed protein is whey. Whey, however is dairy. If you are using whey you COULD mix it with water (same for any protein actually). Casein is a little slower to abosrb. And you know there are many people who do something like paleo but still use protein shakes. I've been doing this since long before Dr. Cordain's book but still used some dairy as in a skim milk, banana, and whey shake after my workout. It's still healthier than the standard american diet...or any other way of eating that's heavy on grains, sugars, and a lot of dairy. However, I've learned over the years that if one is controlling carbohydrate intake, eating whole food animal proteins (meat and eggs), and avoiding the bad stuff, you really don't need supplemental protein. I get at least 35% of my calories from protein intake eating 4 meals a day and get enough to maintain my 200lb body weight I've worked so hard for...when my natural weight is only 170lbs (post fat loss from 300lbs from eating high carb, high grain content, low fat foods). And if you are getting enough natural fats and protein in your diet, meal timing pre and post workout simply isn't an issue. It's only a requirement for someone eating the other way.
WHy not get protein from meat? OK, I guess there might be some argument for a bit of fast digesting protein right after a workout, especially if you are on the go. But it's really not paleo. Now a steak or some bacon would be paleo! My advice would be to save the shakes for the workouts and AT LEAST eat some decent food at your regular meals. You can have some precooked bacon in the fridge, or eat some sardines or whatever. But you should be eating actual whole food items as much as you can, all the more so at night to make up for the shakes you consume at other times. Let's face it, drinking a bunch of artificial processed shakes is not going to be as healthy overall as eating real food.
Arbonne has an all natural gluten free protein mix that you mix with water. Same consistency and a lot easier to digest. It doesn't use whey which especially for women is hard to process.
What about trying an Organic Grass-Fed Whey protein? Yes it still has Dairy but I would believe that is alot healthier for you than regular Whey and still Organic so Should be ok for Paleo.
I still use my whey Protein shake. I do eat some dairy, so whey is not the problem. But it is processed and it also contains some soy products. It is at least gluten-free and very low in carbs... I am using this one b/c I bought 5Ibs big jar a few months ago, as it was cheaper that way, and I am planning on finishing it up before getting anything else. I simply don't like wasting food and money that way. I am not using it that often, so I hope it's not too bad for my health.
This is a bit of a cop out answer, but I LOVE this article from Whole 9, and have used it numerous times: http://whole9life.com/2009/07/dairy-manifesto/ Dallas and Melissa have an amazing way of organizing info in a way that's easy to understand (I'm not affiliated with them, just a fan of their work). Anyway, hope it helps!
I am about to embark on a 30-day Paleo "challenge" for October and hoping to continue paleo (for the most part) thereafter...but I am curious as to WHY milk is bad, grains I get it...but why milk?
I agree with Eva in Paleo Theory. However, I do have the occasional shake if I don't have time to eat optimally.
I have an egg based protein shake mix that I combine with coconut milk and water. It's processed for sure, its far from natural and its probably made from the worst eggs on Earth. It's dairy free and gluten free but it has soy and its made from eggs which can also be problematic for some people. You should be able to find it at GNC.
Here's the info for those interested anyway:
Gold Standard 100% Egg (rich chocolate flavor) Optimal Nutrition brand
Ingredients: Egg Albumen, Cocoa, Artificial Flavor, Lecithin, Sucralose, Aminogen (some proprietary blend of digestive enzymes or something)
32.5 gram serving: Cals: 120 Fat: 1g Cholesterol: 5mg Sodium: 420mg Carb: 4g Fiber: 1g Protein: 24g
Thanks for the answers.
The question I have now is wouldn't eggs be considered dairy food? You suggested eggs as an alternative, but I always thought of them being dairy food.
For me, I'm pretty new to not eating dairy. I wanted to try it out to see how I would feel. I figured that I could eliminate all my regular dairy intake (e.g. yogurt, cheese, milk), but only drink the protein shakes when necessary, so I would at least be limiting my dairy intake.
I don't drink protein shakes, but I've heard it talked about a lot. I know some of the Paleo people still do dairy in certain cases, like cheese and protein shakes. It's going to come down to a personal decision. Whey and Casein are both dairy, and both not good for you. You'll have to balance the benefits and the risks for yourself. The other ways people get protein is lots of eggs and meat. It takes longer, considering you have to cook them (at least most people do). But your body will like them better, and you might find your recovery is better too.

N.Y. Times Promotes DREAM Act Advocates, Who Tar Opponents as 'Anti-Christian, Anti-Hispanic, and Anti-American'
The New York Times promoted the "DREAM Act" on Saturday with a Julia Preston article that never located a single lobbyist for stricter immigration enforcement. Instead, Preston assisted in publicizing a major administration push: "Five cabinet secretaries have made calls, held news conferences or blogged on the issue." It didn't matter how ridiculous it sounded to border enforcers:
On a call organized by the White House on Friday, David Aguilar, the deputy commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, said that strict eligibility requirements in the bill for young immigrants who are here would dissuade others outside the country from trying coming to the country illegally. Addressing concerns from lawmakers who say they want more border security before voting for the legislation, Mr. Aguilar said, "At no point in history has the border been as secure as it is today."
Dan Stein of FAIR or Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies (among other activists) were less than mysteriously missing from Preston's Rolodex. But the National Council of La Raza didn't get overlooked:
"This will be a watershed vote that Latinos will not forget," Janet Murguía, president of the National Council of La Raza, one of the largest national Hispanic organizations, said on a conference call with reporters Friday. "There will be members who choose to stand for innocent children and members who do not," she said, using some of the stark terms Latino leaders have adopted in the debate.
Liberals can only speak in "stark terms," and not be "harsh" or "mean-spirited." After 12 paragraphs straight of amnesty supporters, Preston's story wrapped up with brief snippets of press statements from Republican Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison and Scott Brown that they would oppose the DREAM Act, but only after opponents were tarred as un-Christian, un-American racists:
In this round of the fight, the supporters, led by illegal immigrant students, most of them Latinos, have been more visible than opponents. This week immigrant students, including many without legal status, lobbied in Senate offices in Washington. Univision and other Latino television networks have actively advocated for the student measure. Catholic, Jewish and evangelical Christian clergy members gathered on Capitol Hill this week to pray for passage of the bill.
Latino evangelical pastors, who are politically conservative on social issues, joined the campaign to pressure Republicans.
"Republican conservatives have a chance to demonstrate they truly embrace the party of Lincoln," the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, the president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, said on a conference call Thursday. "To continue to punish these children is nothing less than anti-Christian, anti-Hispanic and anti-American."
Rodriguez also has asserted that Elizabeth Edwards was "Christ-like", so his political positions aren't solidly Republican.
Several Republicans face strong opposition from Republican voters in their states to measures that could be seen as rewarding immigrants who broke the law to remain in this country.
Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, Republican of Texas, was one target of the advocates' campaign, with student protesters holding a month-long hunger strike at one of her Texas offices. Senator Hutchison said on Friday that she would not vote for the bill.
"While she is sympathetic with their situation, she will not support the Dream Act legislation brought before the Senate because it expands the scope of the bill beyond the intended individuals who were brought here as children and grew up and were educated in the United States," a statement from her office said.
Senator Scott P. Brown of Massachusetts, another Republican who has been on call lists of Latino and immigrant groups, said this week that he would not vote for the bill, calling it a "backdoor amnesty." Senator George LeMieux of Florida also said he would vote against the bill.
It's always interesting to see when a newspaper reporter writes that "supporters have been more visible than opponents" -- apparently without the self-awareness that they are aggressively making the supporters more visible than the opponents.

I brought this up the other day in the thread where Joe Scarborough was kvetching about what ever happened to "judge not lest ye be judged."
Liberals want God left out of government and politics, unless they want to twist Jesus' teachings to fit their own ideas of "social justice." Then it's OK to both use religion, and judge others.It's always interesting to see when a newspaper reporter writes that "supporters have been more visible than opponents" -- apparently without the self-awareness that they are aggressively making the supporters more visible than the opponents.
This is a habit of the MSM....just like when they predict (promise) "The questions aren't going away any time soon."

The people who promote the breaking of laws

need to go back to their own homelands. And apply for LEGAL immigration.
There is nothing non-Christian about this philosophy; a bunch of liars are trying to foist this on us AGAIN. We were promised by this bunch of lieberal ingrates that there would only have to be one "amnesty". We all accepted Teddy Kennedy's word for this, which turned out to be as big a lie as the rest of his life. We will not be badgered into this by comments by non-Christian MSM members that this is anti-Christian. Most probably don't have a church that would even recognize their faces.
They need to tell me when Mexico, which is a Catholic nation, changes its immigration policy. Then I will believe that we need to re-look ours. Until then, we need to change our policy in this country.
- We will follow to the letter the current Federal laws on illegal immigration, which means that the Obama administration had better get busy enforcing it.
- These "sanctuary" cities need to be cut off from ALL Federal dollars. They are paying for these illegals with this money, and that needs to be cut off at the root.
- The language of this country needs to revert to ENGLISH. NO MORE PISO MOJADO on signs or any of these other "accommodations". If they can't speak the language of the country, they can go home.
- Need some stiff penalties on states that knowingly enable illegal immigrants to vote in elections. For instance, 90 days in jail for the Governor, state board of elections, and legislators might be close to a fit crime. The state would then have a secondary benefit because the fools in jail would not be enacting any more stupid state laws while they are there. Yes, California, I am talking about YOU, but I am also sure that I can find it in Ohio.

I am always amazed as to the standards that non-belivers hold Christians. It is usually much higher than Christ does. But Christ knows that we are sinners saved by grace and non-believers think that we are perfect and can't sin. We strive to be as Christ like as we can be. We believe the Bible and do our best to follow it, but being sinners saved by grace we fail many times. God is good and when we ask Him to forgive us He does. I John 1:9.

Obama's campaign promises on Immigration Reform
Submitted by Gary Hall on Sat, 12/18/2010 - 2:57pm.
Condensed version – in order and quoted as stated, with fluff omitted (my bold)
CNN Democratic debate in las Vegas 11-17-07
MR. BLITZER: Campbell, go ahead.
MS. BROWN: All right, let's talk about the issues. Senator Obama, I want to ask you about immigration (OK, OK - Campbell went on and on laying out the leftist positions in phrasing her question, in order to get Obama going.. )
SEN. OBAMA: .. this administration, the Bush administration, has done nothing about..(bla bla bla)
Now, I have already stated that, as president, I will make sure that we finally have the kind of border security that we need. That's step number one. (Applause.)
Step number two is to take on employers. Right now, they -- an employer has more of a chance of getting hit by lightning than be prosecuted for hiring an undocumented worker. That has to change. They have to be held accountable. (Applause.)
I believe that we can take the undocumented workers, the illegal aliens who are here, get them out of the shadows, make sure that they are subject to a stiff penalty,
make sure that they're learning English
make sure that they go to the back of the line so they're not getting an advantage over people who came here legally
and we can once again be a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants. That's what I intend to do as president of the United States. (Cheers, applause.)
Hmm .. I didn't see where the Dream Act fits in there, did you?

Since when is that a slur? Most leftist liberals hate anything to do with Christianity. So to call someone anti-Christian seems to be defeating the purpose, doesn't it?
These ignorant airheads don't have a clue. The DREAM Act was a sham. It was a slap in the face to every naturalized American who took the time to follow the law and come in to this country the legal and right way.
The DREAM Act was mis-named. It was more like the FREE RIDE Act. Either way, it was bad and passing it would have been a nightmare.

anti-Christian oh c'mon
Submitted by michiganruth on Sun, 12/19/2010 - 1:48pm.
somehow it is now anti-American and anti-Christian to want to be able to control our own borders. I say, NOTHING, NO ACT, even gets considered until the southern border is sealed. then we can talk.
how many Americans have to be shot on US soil by illegals and druggers before we do something?
now having said that, I can see in the future something similar to this but only for people who go into the armed forces. if you are willing to die for this country, then yeah, I think we can work something out. but AFTER the border is fixed.

This is a simple project made out of shop scraps. The octagonal holder is 8" in diameter. The sides are cherry, the top inlay is cocobolo and the side splines and button feet are ebony. I added some blue and white tumbled glass around the bottom of the candle to hold it in position and pick up any wax that might run down. If the glass gets loaded with wax I can simply put it in a pan of water, heat it up, and skim the wax off the top of the water.

UPDATE: Andre Johnson was ejected in the fourth quarter for fighting with Titans CB Cortiand Finnegan.
The Houston Texans three-headed monster, since every team with three good offensive players must be referred to as having a three-headed monster, is off to a hot start against the Tennessee Titans. Anything would look mighty compared to what the Titans are trotting out today, with one-headed human Rusty Smith leading Tennessee to 54 total yards. The Texans are up 14-0 at the half.
QB Matt Schaub is 19 of 25 with two touchdowns, one to WR Andre Johnson and one to TE Joel Dreessen, who was one of last week's highest-scoring tight ends. Schaub has multiple touchdowns in five games this year.
RB Arian Foster leads the team in both rushing and receiving yardage, with 114 yards from scrimmage. He has approximately one billion yards from scrimmage this season, with over 100 yards in all but two games. He has yet to score today, but has tended to score in bursts. If Tennessee's offense can't get going, the Texans are going to start running more at some point.
