Arcade Fire's Big Sur Show Sold Out....In One Minute
Poof! The chance to snag a ticket or two to Arcade Fire's Big Sur show came and went....in about one minute. If you spent the morning jittery with anticipation and constantly refreshing the Henry Miller Memorial Library's Events page and were greeted with the opportunity to add your name to the "waitlist," join the club. Several of our officemates suffered the same fate.
But what is this "waitlist"? According to Magnus Toren over at the Henry Miller Library, there are some tickets set aside for Arcade Fire's record label, Merge. If those tickets become available, they will go to the first names on the waitlist. Translation: the show is sold out. Time to gear up for the Greek Theatre ticket sales.

Haydock heads local charge in series finale
11:04am Thursday 3rd July 2014 in Sport By Dave Brown, Cycling correspondent
THE Lakes and Lancs Sporting Courses Series (SPOCO) for 2014 came to a close on Sunday when the last of more than 20 counting events was held over the 10.3 mile circuit at Bolton-by-Bowland.
It was organised by the Rossendale Road Club whose Mike O'Shea has been busy since February collating the interim SPOCO placings. The series winner was Border City Wheelers' Richard Bickley but East Lancashire riders took a big share of the top 10.
Billington's Mark Haydock finished second in the final table with Burnley's Peter Greenwood of Team Swift in third.
The North Lancashire Road Club trio of Haydock, Duncan Park and Austin Foy were winners of the overall team award even though Foy had to miss the final counter as he opted to ride a 100 mile event in Cheshire.
Haydock was the winner of that last qualifier in 25 minutes 18 seconds beating arch rival Ian Stott of Blackburn and District CTC into second place.
Duncan Park was third in 25mins 38secs with Greenwood fourth in 25mins 43secs and Chris Smedley (Nelson Wheelers 26mins 28secs) and Nick Cooper (Rossendale Road Club 26mins 54secs) beating the 27 minute barrier to take fifth and sixth respectively.
The close battle between Haydock and Stott had continued in the midweek 10 mile at Edisford.
This time Stott took the honours in 23mins 18secs to the 23mins 34secs of Haydock. Darwen's Paul Taylor was fourth in 24mins 20secs.
The Rossendale Road Club midweek 10 mile on the Hapton based course was won by Colne's Sam Boast riding for the Wheelbase team in 24 minutes 22 seconds.
Karl Smith of Blackburn continued his increasingly successful comeback taking second in 24mins 37secs with Rossendale riders Roy Flanagan third in 25mins 11secs and Nick Cooper fourth in 25mins 20secs.
Pendle Forest promote a 10 mile this evening from Thornton-in-Craven with a 7pm start.
Meanwhile, there is no holding Darwen's Ian Cox back as less than a week after smashing his North Lancashire Road Club 100 mile record he knocked three minutes off his own 50 mile record.
That took place on a course between Derby and Stoke where Cox clocked an outstanding 1hour 43mins 39secs.
In the same event Rossendale's Roy Flanagan clocked a personal best of 1hr 54mins 20secs but Burnley's Greenwood had to retire after feeling unwell while Pendle Forest's Jason Bateman was a non-starter after sustaining a broken collarbone after an accident with a car in midweek.

|This book is a nice concise no nonsense introduction to Objective-C. This book is different than most of the Objective-C books I have read in that it uses Cocoa and Cocoa Touch to teach the language.
The books starts out covering the developer programs, Xcode, Object-Oriented Programming with Objective C, and the Foundation library. It then has a chapter on the contents of iOS and OS X applications and how they are each packaged. This is a must read chapter for those coming from a Windows background.
The book continues to cover a ton of topics. I have listed the chapters included in the book below to show you the topics covered.
1. Cocoa Development Tools
2. Object-Oriented Programming with Objective-C
3. Foundation
4. Applications on OS X and iOS
5. Graphical User Interfaces
6. Blocks and Operation Quotes
7. Drawing Graphics in Views
8. Audio and Video
9. Model Objects and Data Storage
10. Cocoa Bindings
11. Table Views and Collection Views
12. Document-Based Applications
13. Networking
14. Working with the Real World
15. Event Kit
16. Instruments and the Debugger
17. Sharing and Notifications
18. Nonstandard Apps
19. Working with Text
20. iCloud
You may be wondering what the heck Operation Quotes are that are covered in chapter 6. That should have been Operation Queues.
One of the main things I like about this book is that the topics are short and also very informative. There are not 10 samples and scenarios to show you the ins and outs of the topic at hand, the author just provides an example and a short explanation which is enough.
This style of covering topics does require that you be an experienced programmer. An experienced programmer coming from the Java or .NET world should do fine with this style of teaching.
The short chapters make the book a very easy cover to cover read. The pace at which topics change is nice. The short chapters also makes this book an ideal reference for learning a lot about a topic in a short amount of time. I would recommend reading the first 6 chapters in order, but then after that the chapters stand alone.
The code is organized into one workspace which makes it very easy to use. It also works as is and is very usable.
Over all I highly recommend this book to any experienced developer coming from the Java or .NET world. If you have no programming experience you may want to spend some time learning C first.

Hillary Clinton 2016: Former Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said on NBC's "Meet the Press," if Hillary Clinton runs in 2016, the GOP is "incapable of competing at that level." Um, interesting and I would love to see a Hillary Clinton run, that's for sure. This begs the question, if he thinks the GOP can't compete against Hillary Clinton, why is he mulling a run himself in 2016? He can't possibly think he can beat her.
Huffington Post: "First of all, she's very formidable as a person," he said. "She's a very competent person. She's married to the most popular Democrat in the country; they both think [it] would be good for her to be president. It makes it virtually impossible to stop her for the nomination."
In addition to having Bill Clinton's support, Hillary Clinton would also have the backing of President Barack Obama, who will still be a "relatively popular president," Gingrich added. "Trying to win that will be truly the Super Bowl."
Well, it seems that many people would agree with Newt Gingrich's assessment. A recent poll found 57 percent of Americans would support Hillary Clinton if she were the 2016 presidential candidate. I scarcely believe the venom from John McCain and Lindsey Graham over the Benghazi consulate attack would stymie her chances. The Clinton machine shouldn't be underestimated in any way.

The ultimate guide to coil bolts,via Keith Thomas
@ August 12, 2014 2:58 PM in removing boltsHey Ron,
How you doing? Swig one while you read this.
You swiging yet?, cause I'm typing.
On a coil removal job, Put a socket on the 1st bolt head. If it does not come out EASY, move on to the next bolt head. If it does not come out EASY, move on to the next bolt head. Keep doing this until you have tried every bolt.
Excuse me, my glass is dry, be right back.
There, I'm back. Wow what a day. The day after a holiday weekend. Everybody calling for E service, and idiot me had already booked a full days work for today,
OK, So now you have some bolts that did not come out easy.
At this point I grab my 4 inch cordless angle grinder. (some guys will grab a 3 lbs hammer and pound the heads, This has never worked for me.)
Sip...OK make that 2 sips...Oh that's a good one.
Grind the heads off of the bolts. SAFETY GLASSES ARE A MUST!!!! This will throw a lot of sparks, so clear the area of combustibles.
Man I type slow...Already time for another sip.
HEY!!, Don't hit the copper coil piping with that grinder you mullet head!!
After you have all the bolt heads ground off, go out to your truck and call the local pizza delivery shop in my area and have them send over a large loaded with a 12 pack of Rolling Rock, Put it, along with a tip, on your credit card.
Hang on a minute, Gotta go out and burn a butt.
I'm back,
Now pull the coil out and set it in a 5 gallon bucket.
You should be looking at the boiler block and a bunch of studs. Take your 3 lbs. hammer and whack the studs.....Really, you call that a whack?...WHACK them studs like you mean it. At the base of the studs, right were they go into the block, you should see some flakes fall off.
Take a sip...
There you go, now take a pair of vice grips and clamp them on to the first stud, or whats left of it. .....Turns out just like it was put in yesterday does't it?
Do the same for the rest of the studs.
How does that boiler block look? Take a 16 oz. hammer and pound off all the flaky iron. Take your grinder and smooth out/touch up the block. Do the same with the coil plate.
Hold on....Man I mix a good drink...
Spray all of the bolt holes with a shot of WD-40 (I only do this to cover the double onion Italian sandwich bletch that I let out) Take your tap and ream out all of the bolt holes.
After you have the plate, the block and the holes cleaned up, spray all of the surfaces and the holes with "choke and carb cleaner. We want clean and dry surfaces.... Really, come on spray some more carb cleaner in those bolt holes, I want them clean. ( I use carb cleaner because it evaporates and dries fast)
Wow, If this post goes on much longer I am going be lit up....Sip time.
Look, this is the important part...DO NOT PUT ANY TYPE OF SILICON ON THE SURFACES!!!
Slide your coil back in with your new gasket.
Do not bother putting never seize on the new coil bolts. Really... I'm not kidding do not put never seize on your new coil bolts. If the coil gasket leaks again in the future, the water will wash the never seize out.
Coat your coil bolts with high temp silicone. Use the high temp silicone on your bolts just like you normally would use never seize.
Hey thanks Ron, The pizza guy just showed up.

@ August 8, 2014 8:43 AM in Burnham has tested Beckett gas burners in oil-fired boilersThanks for your input,too few manufacturers are willing to participate anymore. I understand your position but not sure I agree. Have you considered approving gas burners on just the MPO/Megasteam? The Megasteam would be the best in class gas fired steam boiler as it is already with oil. Having the MPO convertible to gas would put it at an advantage to most triple pass oil boilers that are not,a consumer that just spent a fairly sizable amount on an MPO/Alliance/ODR card etc is loath to trash it when gas becomes available as it some point it will in all but rural areas. That feature is certainly a benefit to both contractor and consumer in making an MPO sale right now.

Six Secondary Video Game Characters Who Should Have Their Own Games
HK-47 from Knights Of The Old Republic
Thanks to this beautiful piece of machinery, I now refer to people I hate as "meatbags".
If anyone acts like HK-47 is not one of the best, non-canon characters to ever populate the Star Wars universe, I want nothing to do with you. HK-47 was, in every way. the anti-Jar Jar, He was not cute. He was not lovable or silly. He was a droid who hated humans as much as some humans hate humans. He was also snark, rude, and super badass. Everything most of us have ALWAYS wanted from Star Wars characters. And the traits none of us got in any of the Star Wars sequels. Hell, even Sam Jackson was unbadass in the Star Wars preuquels And do you know how hard it is to make Sam Jackson seem NOT badass? That is why HK-47 was the ultimate. He had the visual allure of a Boba Fett, and the dry wit of a hate fueled, alcoholic British person. What is there not to love about that? So give him a game, I don't care what it is.
I realize that the likelihood of this is flickering at about 0%, but, now that Disney has the reins, and they have handled owning Marvel wonderfully, perhaps some awesome exec will give the people what they want. Hell, someone make an HK-47 insult generator for the internet and my soul will be appeased.
Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid
If you play it on your PC, he checks you cookies, and says: Fan of Brazzers, and then calls you a pervert and you get the blue screen of death.
Why can't we play as the bad guy, just this once? While HK-47 was bad in a moral sense, he was not an enemy in the game, but Psycho Mantis is. I realize playing as boss from an earlier game in a series would seem like an insane move, but can anyone argue just how blown your mind was during that Psycho Mantis fight, the very first time you played it on the Playstation? I still feel like, outside of Eternal Darkness for Gamecube, there is no game out there that screws with the players head as much as this single boss fight against Psycho Mantis. He reads your memory card to mess with you, and reads your controller inputs and reverses them. Still, a decade later, no one has touched that level of technological brilliance in a game. So how about we adopt that as a play mechanic? We read minds to learn how to take down our enemies, perhaps?
The idea could be that you are a younger Psycho Mantis, working on honing your psychic power, and the game is a stealth based game where you have telekinetic powers. Does anyone remember the AWESOME Xbox game, Psy-Ops? Well, like that, but twenty hours long, and with more mind reading. Hell, if Konami REALLY loved us, they could even let us play the Solid Snake battle from Mantis' perspective. Don't act like that would not be a blast, because we both know better. Poke him in his eye patch, and shit like that.
Mysterous Stranger from Fallout Series
He is like a realistic version of a Final Fantasy summon.
Okay, so if you played through New Vegas, you probably encountered the Mysterious Stranger, who would appear out of nowhere and blow the brains out of whatever you were fighting at that time. He would be donned, head to toe in cool, 1950′s style, detective noir fashion, and looked like a character more befitting of L.A Noire than Fallout. But there was something so awesome about this character, and even though giving him his own game would sort of kill the "Mysterious" title from his moniker, who wouldn't want to play through the Fallout universe as a badass, gun-toting detective? Well, a great deal of people, actually. But I would want to play that game, and thankfully, I am the one writing this.
And I know I am not the only one who digs the Mysterious Stranger (gayest sentence I ever wrote, maybe?) because there have been many mods and many pieces of fan art that pay homage to this old-school, cool guy.
A Few Others:
Alyx Vance from Half Life series: Oh, what a shocking concept. A fully clothed, amazing female lead. Can we make this happen, please?
Pigsy from Odyssey: Journey To The West. I know no one played this game, and I know Pigsy got his own DLC, but I swear, if this dude got his own game, the world would eat it up like little piggies.
It could also be called: Danny DeVito, The Game.
Francis from Left 4 Dead: I know that is two Valve characters, but I would even be happy if they put Francis and Alyx in an interracial love simulation game. Wow. Even I can't believe I just typed that.
King of all Cosmos from Katamari series. Whether rolling balls or taking them on the chin, I would play this game to death. And you know it would have the best soundtrack EVAR!
This could be the game. Cow Watcher. And I would still buy it, full price and at the midnight release.
Pey'j from Beyond Good and Evil. Okay, so apparently I have a fetish for fat, pig-like (or actual pig) men. Who knew? But Pay'j was amazing, and I think he should have his own game. Survive the Bacon Farm or something.
Also, for anyone NOT gagging on my terrible writing yet, pop over to my site and see my choices for best movies of the year. My list might surprise you. Who am I kidding, it might enrage you.

I don't want to be that guy but it's Mordin, not Morlan. Morlan is a shop keeper in Mass Effect 1, Mordin is a character who damn near brought me to tears when he died. I'm sorry but you just confused my favorite uncle with a man who sent me a spam email implying my junk was too small. Also the picture isn't Mordin either.
# Jonathanon 31 Dec 2012 at 11:46 am
I think you mean Dr. Mordin Solus.
I think I would rather have a game with Garrus.
# Naztaon 31 Dec 2012 at 1:44 pm
Mordin can live, if you play it the right way
And indeed, that picture isn't Mordin, he has a damage "anatenna", different skin texture and color
# Mark Jron 31 Dec 2012 at 1:53 pm
I agree, I'd much prefer a game with Garrus. Partly because there's just too much to screw up Mordin's character with a full game.
And since when is HK-47 non-canon? Did I miss something?
# Paul Tassion 31 Dec 2012 at 3:09 pm
Wait, how can Mordin live?
# Mark Jron 31 Dec 2012 at 3:59 pm
Ah, as soon as I left that comment, that's what I figured you meant.
# GrandWazooon 31 Dec 2012 at 6:18 pm
You have to kill Wrex. So, you CAN have Mordin live, but it's a far worse outcome.
# GrandWazooon 31 Dec 2012 at 6:18 pm
lol I meant @Paul btw
# Paul Tassion 31 Dec 2012 at 6:19 pm
Screw that!
# drunkenjunkon 31 Dec 2012 at 11:01 pm
Wrex got the Sheperd Step. Mordin def deserved to live.
# Aether McLoudon 01 Jan 2013 at 8:44 am
Definition: 'Love' is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope… Love is knowing your target, putting them in your targeting reticule, and together, achieving a singular purpose against statistically long odds.
# Liam Reganon 01 Jan 2013 at 2:49 pm
What about Johnny from The Saints Row series? Those were always some of my favorite games, and he was my favorite character.
# Gene Starwolfon 01 Jan 2013 at 9:59 pm
Tiny Tina was stupid and irritating. So no. Brucie was funny here and there but he was stupid and irritating. So no.
# Charlie Wardon 02 Jan 2013 at 10:21 pm
Thanks a lot, Gene!
# Satanon 29 Aug 2013 at 8:16 pm
Auron from FF 10. The ONLY good thing to come out of that stupid game in my opinion.

Insider knowledge: Clynelish 23 Year Old 1974 - Rare Malts whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be Clynelish 23 Year Old 1974 - Rare Malts whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
The nose is very smooth and of medium-body. There are notes of seaweed and a strong coastal character, notes of cut stemmy hay and gentle wood smoke develop with an oaked aridity. The palate is of medium-body and silken in delivery. There are notes of tar and leather with dry ropes and kelp. The oak is quite dry and chewy with notes of cut herbs and a leafy greenness. There is an effortless balance as the cereal sweetness creeps in. The finish is long with black pepper and spice.

"The U.S. Department of Education is threatening to "limit, suspend or terminate" federal recognition of the accrediting commission that has threatened to shut down City College of San Francisco, reports EdSource Today.
In a six-page letter to Barbara Beno, president of the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC), the Department of Education said that the commission needed to take "immediate action" to correct four areas of non-compliance with federal regulations. The letter came in response to a 275-page complaint filed by the California Federation of Teachers over how the commission handled the accreditation review of City College.
The union, which represents the faculty and other staff at City College, charged only one faculty member served on two evaluation teams with eight and 16 members. In addition, Beno's husband was on one of the evaluation teams, which CFT said created the appearance of a conflict of interest, and that the commission failed to provide a "detailed written report that clearly identifies any deficiencies in the institution's compliance" with the commission's standards.
In a statement published on its website, a statement published on its website, the commission said it was "disappointed" with the findings, and that it would make "necessary changes to appropriately address the Department's concerns." However, it took issue with the assertion that only one academic was represented on the evaluation team, and also said that it appeared that in another area the federal government was imposing new requirements.
In 2007, when its federal recognition came up for its five-year renewal, the ACCJC was found to be "non-compliant" with federal standards, "essentially for for not being tough enough on colleges not meeting its standards for accreditation, reports EdSource Today.

From their perch near Syracuse University, Studio FX's team of hairstylists, nail artists, and wax technicians have beautified locals for more than 35 years. Their specialty hair services include highlights, hair extensions, updos, and Brazilian blowouts, which leave hair sleeker and more manageable for up to five months. Apart from hair, they paint nails, apply make-up, wax, and lengthen eyelashes with extensions.
Seven days a week, SunDazzle Tanning welcomes customers to choose their own bronzing adventures by offering three levels of UV tanning, custom airbrush spray tans, and an impressive supply of indoor-tanning lotions. Traditional tanning beds and booths allow customers to bask standing or lying down, and each machine offers facial lamps to ensure an even, all-over glow from head to heel. The shop's staff is trained and certified by Smart Tan International, allowing them to relate important tips and techniques, such as how to maintain a new hue or how to ace the tanning portion of the SAT.
Under the leadership of a 37-year industry veteran, the stylists and aestheticians at Fortunato's European Hair Design revamp and renew clients with a combination of nail, hair, waxing, and massage services. The hair whisperers wield Eufora International products as they craft curls, tame frizz, and maintain dreadlocks with the same level of love that cowboys show their lassos. Alternatively, the salon's nail technicians gussy up appendages with gel manicures and nail art, and massage therapists soothe away knots with therapeutic Swedish and deep-tissue strokes.
When clients visit DeJon?s Hair Design, they aren't getting just another haircut. The salon staff meticulously creates classic and modern haircuts that benefit each client's face shape and grooming routine. Stylists fade gray hairs on men with a five-minute color treatment, and add highlights to women?s locks. The spa side of the business offers relaxation with Manuka honey facials and mani-pedis.
Owner Annette Merulla leads the eleven-person staff of Volpe Salon & Day Spa. The stylists and technicians bustle about, performing services from a diverse roster that includes haircare, nail services, and facials. Nails carefully adorned with OPI Gel Polish resist chips to provide long-lasting manicures, and products from AG Hair Cosmetics work inside hair cuticles to really, truly understand them. Other services include massages, waxing, body treatments, and eyelash extensions.
By using products packed with organic ingredients, the staff at Vie de Bella Salon makes its menu of head-to-toe beauty treatments as healthy as a habit of running marathons. On the salon floor, stylists tame frizzy tresses with nontoxic hair-straightening treatments from Paul Brown Hawaii and add final touches to new cuts with Alterna styling products. They add vibrancy to hair by rendering highlights and single-process color with the Keune color line and add removable feather and multicolored hair extensions—ideal for special events or trying to get noticed in a crowd of peacock salesmen. Away from the salon floor, technicians bronze skin with organic airbrush tans, customizing the color to match each client and contouring bodies with blue-based organic solutions that last for 7–10 days. Manicures and spa pedicures with OPI polish round out the menu of treatments like the round edges manicurists file onto everything they own.

A Chance to ChangePosted: November 25, 2009 Filed under: CLTL, criminal justice, current events, juvenile | Tags: adolescence, juveniles, Sara Kruzan 6 Comments
Nicole Beaudoin is a master's candidate in the Professional Writing Program at UMass Dartmouth. Currently, she works with the University's web team and teaches Business Communications as a TA. She has a passion for literature, writing and especially dogs.
Adolescence is a time in life for making mistakes and learning lessons to carry into adulthood. But for the thousands of juvenile offenders in our country's prison system, adolescence is just part of their life sentence without parole. For many of these youths, one wrong decision has led them to live their entire lives behind bars for committing what officials call "adult crimes," when in fact they do not even understand these crimes.
In the New York Times discussion forum "room for debate," Mark Mauer, Executive Director of the Sentencing Project and the author of Race to Incarcerate, argues that sentencing children is inherently different than sentencing adults:
…children are different than adults. As the Supreme Court noted in its 2005 decision in Roper v. Simmons banning the death penalty for juveniles, children do not have fully matured levels of judgment or impulse control, and are more susceptible to peer pressure than adults.
Mauer says that children are "uniquely capable of change…No matter how serious a crime committed by a 13-year-old, there is no means of predicting what type of adult he or she will become in 10 or 20 years."
While the crimes some juveniles have committed are very serious – murder, rape, home invasion – many offenders twice their age commit the same crimes and serve minimal sentences and receive parole. Why don't youths receive the same chance for change?
Recently, the Supreme Court heard arguments for two cases (neither of which involves murder) that bring up an interesting question: is sentencing a juvenile to life in prison without parole is a violation of the Eight Amendment, which prevents cruel and unusual punishment?
Some say yes, and hope the Court holds views similar to Justice Kennedy's stance in Roper v. Simmons. They ask for recognition of the injustice in judging a life not yet developed. But, I think the courts still must look further into this discussion. They must look at all crimes committed by juveniles, even murder.
Sara Kruzan was convicted and sentenced to life without parole for murdering her pimp at age 16. She is now 29. Before and during her tumultuous teens, Sara was a model student and avid writer. She also suffered from severe depression and abuse from her drug addicted mother. At age 11, she met a 31-year-old man, G.G., who befriended her and started grooming her for prostitution. For the next few years, she worked for G.G. while still attending school.
As she was sentenced, the judge told her she "lacked moral scruples." Sara lacked the understanding of those words and of the severity of her actions. Throughout her sentence, Sara has educated herself on those words and others to build her character and learn from her mistakes. She is not the same girl that the judge sentenced all those years ago. Yet, she has no chance to show the courts her transformation. We can only see her through short heartfelt interview clips.
When I see Sara speak about her story with such honestly and integrity, I see an ethical, learned woman – not a heartless, immoral killer. If Sara has learned, others have as well. She changed her life through education and experience.
She and other juvenile offenders deserve a chance to change. Granted we need to look at their crimes but we must look more closely at the proper penalty they deserve. No one in their teens should be sentenced to a life of no possibilities.
6 Comments on "A Chance to Change"
Yes, Nicole–I agree with you. We need to keep the distinction between juvenile justice and adult justice, in this context. In fact, I believe we alll deserve a chance to change, as you put it– (in fact, we are always in the process of change). Literature and the discussion of literature can be of great service in that process.
Great blog. I agree that no juvenile should ever be tried as an adult. Their brains are still continuing to grow. Just as you must feed an adolescent food for them to develop physically, you must also feed the mind of a juvenile so they can develop mentally. Prison is certainly not the answer.
I watched the video wondering if she is stuck there for life even if laws change or other court cases set a different precedent. I wonder if any of our readers know the legal answer to that question? (I'm sure it isn't as simple as I asked it)
I agree with you, Nicole. Sentencing a juvenile to life without parole is not the answer. Although, i disagree with Jeremy, prison may indeed be the answer. The difference lies in the severity. There must be a penalty for wrongdoing, even for a juvenile. How do you expect someone to learn about consequences, right and wrong, if they are not punished for their crime? We just need to be open to the possibility that even in the instance of the most heinous crime, a juvenile may indeed be capable of change. Sentences of shorter term, with the possibility of parole is a must.
This issue struck a cord with me and sparked the idea for the blog. I do not know the answer, but I do agree with Bob and feel that Literature and education is part of the solution. We need to start a conversation…
I agree–everyone, including juveniles and adults, deserve a chance to change. This opportunity can only happen when we stop seeing correctional facilities as a place to punish people for their mistakes and when, instead, we see them as chances for change and reform. In certain cases, keeping an individual away from the public is the best decision–it is not possible to eliminate jail sentences entirely. But there shouldn't be a one punishment fits all for every crime–individuals who are given the opportunity to gain an education and who learn to process and express their emotions properly should certainly be given a second chance.
This is particularly true with juveniles–we all made a lot of mistakes when we were that age, ones that we would never repeat as adults. While some juvenile offenders do go on to a life of crime as an adult, others will see the error of their ways and should have a chance at starting with a clean slate.

Thunder assistant coach Brian Keefe will coach the team during this week's summer league in Orlando. Keefe, who is entering his fourth season on the staff, served in the same role last season in both Orlando and the Las Vegas summer leagues.
Thunder notebook: Brian Keefe to coach summer league
Keefe, who played collegiately at UC Irvine and UNLV, has been instrumental in player development among other things during his tenure in Oklahoma City.
Aldrich will not play in Orlando
Because the draft-night trade with New Orleans can't become official until Thursday, No. 11 overall pick Cole Aldrich will not play in this week's games in Orlando. Aldrich technically could play in Friday's finale if the league approves the deal Thursday as expected. But the Thunder isn't likely to play him in the final game even if he becomes a part of the roster.
Hardin playing with Sixers
DeVon Hardin, the 50th overall pick in the 2008 draft, is playing for Philadelphia this week. The Thunder, however, still owns Hardin's draft rights.
But because the Thunder has a stacked summer league roster that includes returning frontcourt players Serge Ibaka, D.J. White and Byron Mullens, as well as 2010 second-round draft picks Latavious Williams and Ryan Reid, Hardin faced getting squeezed out of OKC's rotation.

Marion County, IN – A new community-wide initiative to increase the number of seventh and eighth-grade students enrolled in the Twenty-first Century Scholarship Program is being launched today (April 28, 2011) by a partnership that includes: Central Indiana Community Foundation (CICF), the Twenty-first Century Scholars Program (TFCSP), The Mayor's Office of Education Innovation (OEI), and the Greater Indianapolis Progress Committee (GIPC).
Entitled "The Twenty-first Century Scholars Enrollment Challenge," it is the partnership's second initiative of its kind in two years, and has a goal of enrolling 90 percent of all eligible eighth-grade students and 75 percent of eligible seventh-grade students in Marion County in the program. In 2010, the inaugural Enrollment Challenge increased enrollment from 39 percent to 58 percent by rewarding school counselors and representatives with Simon Gift cards valued between $50 to $400. In total, over 1,900 additional seventh- and eighth-grade students were enrolled into the Twenty-first Century Scholars program as a result of the Twenty-first Century Scholars Enrollment Challenge partnership and incentive program. CICF anticipates providing more than $10,000 in incentives to reward school counselors for achieving the enrollment challenge goals.
Currently, sixth- through eighth-grade students that qualify for free and reduced-price school lunches are eligible to enroll in the Twenty-first Century Scholars Program. The Scholars Program promises to provide full tuition at any public institution of higher education if students: (1) Graduate from an Indiana-recognized high school with a diploma and at least a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale; (2) Refrain from using illegal drugs or alcohol and do not commit any crimes, (3) Apply and be accepted to a college or university within the state of Indiana, and; (4) Apply on time for state and federal student financial assistance.
In recent years, between 50 and 60 percent of all Marion County eighth-graders have qualified to enroll in the program. According to the Indiana Department of Education, out of the state's approximately 10,000 eighth-grade students, more than 6,000 were eligible for the Twenty-first Century Scholars program in 2010 (or six out of every ten eighth-grade students).
Indiana's state legislature is currently considering proposals to limit the reach of the Twenty-first Century Scholars Program by: (1) Proposing annual minimal grade point average requirements while in high school and in college; (2) Restricting eligibility to students that receive only free lunch, not reduced priced lunch; (3) Means testing seniors and awarding a one-time gift of $1,000 for students no longer deemed eligible by program standards; and (4) Repealing sixth-grade enrollment. These changes to the Scholars program would restrict access to post-secondary opportunities for the majority of Marion County families and discourage students from seeking a college degree.
Studies show only 10 percent of students from Indiana's lowest income-quartile families will earn a bachelors degree within six years after graduating from high school, yet experts project that by 2018, 60 percent of all jobs will require post-secondary credentials. The TFCSP has been successful in encouraging more students to seek post-secondary opportunities: of the students that enrolled in the Twenty-first Century Scholars program and graduated in 2009, 92 percent graduated from high school and 68 percent enrolled in some form of post-secondary opportunity.
"The Twenty-first Century Scholars Program has been very successful at creating college access for more of Indiana's students, and the Enrollment Challenge further builds on that success," said Brian Payne, president and CEO of Central Indiana Community Foundation. "We believe expanding access to post-secondary educational opportunities is an important way of addressing changing educational demands in our economy, and is vital to our young people and our state."
The Twenty-first Century Scholars Enrollment Challenge is a part of CICF's College Readiness Initiative, funded by The Indianapolis Foundation (a CICF affiliate) and Lumina Foundation. Every school in Marion County serving students in grades seven and eight is invited to participate in the Twenty-first Century Scholars Enrollment Challenge.

I thought this eyeshadow was pretty decent, I don't use it much and on its own it creased on me. The colour is buildable, so you can have a dust of colour or big bold colour. Overall its a great product and I'm glad I got it!

This has got to be the best eyeshadow I've ever tried! I bought it In barely branded and silver strike and it stays forever! It of course comes off with makeup remover, but other than that, I think it qualifies to be longer-than-24hrs! The only complaint I have is the price! They are $6.00 EACH at my local target. I think that's pretty expensive for a tiny glass pot! Overall, great product!

I've bought these in 3 different colours: (EU names) metallic pomegranate, pink gold and bold on bronze. I find that they are not as smooth as everybody says, or at least mine. I always close them well but I find that they quite dried out a little.. Anyway I will continue to use cause they are pretty.. Just I don't like them asu h as everybody do!

So I heard a lot of Youtubers go crazy about this stuff and at that time I wasn't that into eyeshadows but I thought they would be a nice way to start as they were so easy and effortlessly to apply. I bought the well-known Bad to the Bronze and also Barely Branded. OMG I just can't even!! They are amazingly good, easy to apply, and they reeeally last 24 hours, even more that that!! (Trust me, this stuff stuck to me trough a more than 24 hours day, and even tears). Also, I think they're good for a 5 minute make-up on the rush, you just apply it all over the eyelid, put some eyeliner, mascara and you're good to go, looking like you really put some time on your make-up. Definitely try this out.

this stuff is amazing!! I don't even need a primer with it, just slap it on with my finger and blend and good too gooo! perfect for a super quick look that looks amazing because this stuff is really pigmented and I have never had any issues at all of it creasing, other than when I tried to use it as a base, for some reason when I put eyeshadow on it, it creases a bit (or a lot, depending on the shadow quality). but on it's own, it's amazing! I have the shade bad to the bronze and it's perfect! definitely will repurchase! also never had any issues with it drying out. Go try it and you'll see how awesome it is!!

They have such a large range of colours and they're all super gorgeous. The colour payoff is sooo good and they last a really really long time! They're also super easy to apply and blend really nicely and are perfect as bases for other colours or just on their own. Great must haves for any makeup collection :)

I AM IN LOVE WITH THESE!! its honest to say that i almost have every color and i love them alll except the purple one:/ so disapointing..but anyways! these last sooo long with no creasing or color fading, even thru the heat. my most worn are "barely branded" "bad to the bronze" the new leathers collection in "creamy beige" i HIGHLY reccomend these youll love them and have to collect them like i do:) they can dry up, but their still useable but thats what you get when you get into cream products. so if youve had your eyes on these and are iffy, stop! and pick them up:) you wont regret it.

This is an amazing product after watching youtubers go on about them I decided to jump on the bandwagon and get one. I bought the shade pink gold which is a lovely pink shimmer that is easy to put on on those days that you want effortless makeup as you can just blend it out. I sometimes add a slightly darker pink into my crease and outer corner just to add some depth. The only thing I don't like is that it does crease slightly but I have quite oily eyelids and I do wear it for ages but yeah brill product would definitely buy another :)

I have purchased fifteen of these eyeshadows over the last year. The first one I bought I found on sale at Target which was Fierce 'N Tangy, an orange shade. The texture was sort of dry but I think it had been sitting there a while. Once you get through the top layer on the matte versions, it is much smoother to apply. The shimmer and metallics are much smoother and creamier, probably because they have less pure pigment and more metal/shimmer in them. I have these in Audacious Asphalt, Creamy Beige, Bad to the Bronze, Tough as Taupe, Sleek and Spice, Inked in Pink, Pomegranate Punk, Bold Gold, Barely Branded, Chocolate Suede, Fierce N Tangy, Tenacious Teal, Painted Purple, Shimmering Sea, and Sunwashed Sky. I like the metallics the most. The Inked in Pink and Barely Branded shades make a great base layer for other shadows. I haven't had any problems with creasing but I typically use an eye primer underneath even though they work as a primer themselves. The color payoff is good, some colors more intense than others. The shimmers are much more blendable than the matte shades which is to be expected with any kind of eye shadow. It is helpful if you start with a little and build the color up because these can go on pretty intensely if you really load up the brush/your finger. I usually apply with a cream eyeshadow brush I have from Mary Kay, then blend with my fingers. I swatched all 15 shades on my arm and they really did stay on, I had to scrub and scrub to try to get all traces off my fair-skinned forearm! These come out in limited edition colors, like the Leather collection (creamy beige, chocolate suede) and Sunwashed Sky and Shimmering Sea were from the summer 2014 collection so I buy all the ones I will actually wear. I wish they were all regular line, especially Shimmering Sea which is a light blue/gold duochrome and totally gorgeous. These were about $8 each at CVS, Walgreens, Target, Walmart, Rite Aide, but you can find coupons online or wait for buy one get one 50% off sales and save a little bit of money. They last a long time though and have a fair amount in each pot. Definitely a great buy!

Community Reviews
After the superb Garnethill trilogy I couldn't wait to see what Denise Mina would come up with next and I had my fingers, toes and every other extremity I could find crossed that I wouldn't be disappointed by Sanctum.
On some levels this book explores the same areas as the previous books, we're still in Glasgow and we're still dealing with the mental health system one way or another. But this is a very different style of book than before.
This book is written as the diary of Lachlan Harriot, an u...more

So what is the story of Dr. Susie Harriot, and will Lachlan Harriot find what he needs for her appeal?

Deception marks a departure from Mina's earlier work, award-winning crime novels set in the dark underbelly of Glasgow. Most critics agree that her use of the "unreliable narrator" is masterful. She slowly reveals that all is not as it seems; even self-deception abounds. As Mina peels away the onion, the househusband with tenacious loyalty to his convicted wife has his own questionable agenda. Deception keeps you guessing, yet manages to be much more than a mere whodunit, thanks to Mina's strong...more
I picked up the book in a remainder bin based on the blurb which tells the story of Lachlan Harriot whose pyschiatrist wife, Susie, has just been convicted of the murders of Andrew Gow, recently released serial killer, and his new bride, Donna. Lachlan spends time in his wife's private office going through her files and trying to p...more
I liked that the book was told in journal entries. It gave a really deep persepective, but I felt that it didn't serve the story very well as a whole. The story was a mystery and, in the end, the mystery was quite frankly unsolved and that made me really mad. What is the point of a mystery if you never know the answer?
It was S L O W! Plus is was just weird & creepy, and not in a good way. I like some creepy novels, but this was not that kind of creepy. The only thing I can say good about it is that there were some surprises at the end of the book. But even the unexpected was overshadowed by the long, drawn out story.
His character was unlikeable and a waste of a human specimen. I have never read anything from this author before but I think that this may be my last as well.

Man, time flies when you're having fun with technology.
Circa 10 years ago, I was buying Maxell XL-II and the cooler, higher-quality XL-IIS audio cassettes in bulk to satisfy my tape-trading hobby. That changed to CD-Rs a couple of years later.
Fast-forward to the late 2000's and now we have that recordable media icon Maxell giving us Blu-ray BD-R and BD-RE discs for the handful of people who own HD camcorders (it would be sweet to get pristine HD footage of my 13-month-old daughter for posterity on one of Hitachi's new Blu-ray camcorders, that's for sure).
Write-once BD-Rs and rewritable BD-RE discs with their 7.5-GB recording capacity go for $24.99 and $34.99, respectively. Now when you record Mom's surprise 50th birthday party, you can save her reaction in true HD at 1920 x 1080 pixels. She'll love that.
