Comprehensive good school! Safe and convenient in a small town. Classical and Beautiful Campus of New England style! Nice teachers and schoolmates! Wonderful atheletic activities with other high school of Boston. Nice College counselling...
This school has few great teachers, and even fewer coaches. LA is known for it sports, not education. It is found in the bottom of the ISL. The new AD is easily one of the worst in the business.
Unfortunately the quality of the school had dropped dramatically in recent years. My son has attended Lawrence since the 9th grade and enjoyed it very much his firs year there. My daughter is one year behind my son and she also enjoyed it her first year. However, recently, the Administration has been acting disrespectful to many of the parents and students. I Do not believe that this type of behavior should be displayed to us parents who are paying nearly $50,000 a year per child.
Great school for unique kids.
We were very fortunate to have our childen attend Lawrence Academy. It had a wonderful balance of both day and boarding programs. Our children had different intersts and both were able to excel socially and academically. They both got into Ivy League school and are doing very well .
I have a daughter who has gone there for 4 years. We absolutely love the school. She is involved with the total school concept, including organizations and clubs. The school has lots of options for the kids to get involved with. She is also involved with the sports program, playing soccer, basketball and lacrosse. The teachers are very involved with the students and you can call them anytime to get help and information. The academic programs are very motivational and the classes are small. I am sad to see her graduate, but Lawrence Academy has given her the opportunity to go to a wonderful college.

Good Questions: Source for Modern Gate Hardware?
Hi Apartment Therapy, We're getting ready to build a horizontal fence like this one you featured awhile back. The problem is, I've searched high and low and can't seem to find any stainless steel, modern gate hardware. We're looking specifically for hinges, but more importantly for a latch. Does anyone know of anything out there?
We'd recommend searching Rejuvenation Lighting & Hardware — but we don't see any specific hardware for fences. Anyone have ideas?
9 Comments
you might have luck at liz's antique hardware in los angeles. web address: lahardware.com.
good luck!
Have you thought of just designing it yourself and going to a local welder to create it for you?
Liz's Antiques is a great resource. Rock Mountain Harware makes beautiful hardware and will do custom.
My husband and I are wondering the same thing! We just got through building two horizontal cedar fences and so far haven't found anything beyond a few basic options for hinges and latch. Where is the cool hardware for our fences??
Hi there! My husband and I run a small architectural hardware store (online) and we've just added a new line of contemporary and modern gate hardware. Here's a link to the newest, the Moda Latch, which is brushed stainless and has a sustainably forested tigerwood handle:
There's not a ton out there on the market, but we're rapidly developing more and will add them to the store as quickly as possible! Good luck!
I just wanted to add on to my previous post that we're now producing more than a dozen contemporary/modern gate latches. Finally there's something out there!
We built a horizontal fence and we're on a budget and like many couldn't find anything that was modern and unique. I walked every isle of our home improvement store looking for something that we could use as a handle and low and behold found it in the bathroom section. We used a handicap bathroom rail (or is often used as a railing in a shower entry) and it cost $20! We purchased 2 large stainless steel hinges for $36 each and had really cool gate hardware for under $100. Results here: http://nicnormanstudio.com/images/gate.jpg
You should try the new SureClose hinge from D&D it is so powerful but tiny!!! you can't even see them on these gates http://www.flickr.com/photos/organize/?start_tab=sets

In a move that seems almost too petty to believe, it has now been confirmed that the official WWE account on Twitter is no longer following CM Punk after he walked out before Monday Night Raw this week. The decision could have been made by someone in the marketing or technology department as opposed to Vince McMahon or Triple H.
WWE has been pushing the wrestlers to use Twitter more often, especially on weekends, in order to get the fans talking more about the performers and company. The belief is that management has noticed how much of a buzz Ryback has been able to create through the social media website.
During a recent interview, Stephanie McMahon touted the WWE app by revealing that it has been downloaded more than eight million times.
With Heath Slater being given time off for personal reasons, WWE has chosen Ricardo Rodriguez as his replacement in 3MB. Rodriguez worked a match with Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre at the big Madison Square Garden show this week.
Ricardo Rodriguez, who has been training a lot lately to become an in ring performer for WWE, has revealed that he will be working the TLC pay per view tonight. However, he will simply be working with the Spanish announce team.
Ricardo Rodriguez, who has not been utilized much on television since the departure of Rob Van Dam, has been training on his in ring skills. The California native wants to wrestle for WWE in the near future.
WWE has been testing out Ricardo Rodriguez as a backstage agent as of late.
Despite not being utilized on television by WWE, Ricardo Rodriguez is being flown in for the European Tour.
With a little help from Ricardo Rodriguez, Alberto Del Rio successfully defend the World Heavyweight Championship against the Big Show at Elimination Chamber 2013. He won via submission with the armbreaker.

Unversed in hysterical politics, Crow flies straight into trouble
Things look bad for former chief planning inspector Professor Stephen Crow at the time of writing. Not in the legal sense perhaps, but in the sense of having recklessly hurled himself into the 'squeamish metropolis' versus 'hunting-with-dogs' battle over housebuilding in the South East.

Chic Christina opts for youthful braided up-do
Posted: August 20, 2013|
What other colour could you possibly wear to The Smurfs 2 premiere? It had to be blue for Christina Ricci, attending the event in New York.
She looked super-sophisticated wearing a Thom Browne Resort 2014 jacquard-print midi dress with a plunging sweetheart neckline. She accessorised with leather-snakeskin heels and a nude Jimmy Choo envelope clutch.
This summer-in-the-city chic really suits her and she looks radiant with soft, minimal make-up. In contrast to the mature outfit, she opted to wear her hair in a youthful braided up-do.
Christina has worn her hair in many lengths and styles but with her heart-shaped face and doll-like features, it suits her best no longer than shoulder length.
Her current shade of deep chocolate brown is slightly warm but has a hint of ash and she has perfectly adopted her hair colour to this season's trends.
Ask your stylist for a dark- chocolate brown glossing service.
If your hair is mid-length or longer you will be able to achieve this look very easily. However, if your hair is shorter you may need to apply a plaited hair-band to emulate the look.
Shampoo and towel-dry your hair using a thickening shampoo if your hair is fine or a smoothing shampoo if your hair is coarse. We recommend Sebastian Volupt or System Professional Luxe Oil ranges.
Apply a small amount of a strong but flexible styling product, such as Sebastian's Gel Forte, and work through the hair with your fingers. Part your hair down the middle and plait the length of your hair. To do this, divide each of the sectors into three equal amounts and cross each of the outside pieces over the middle one alternately. Fasten with a band the same colour as your own hair. Repeat this on the other side then bring both the plaits up to the middle parting and secure with a grip that also matches your hair colour. Take another grip and tuck in any loose ends that are sticking out.
Using hair pins, place inside the braids and secure to your head to keep secure. Blow-dry your fringe into place using a round brush. And there you have it a very simple, but stunning up do.
If we were recreating this look in the salon, we would use a halo braiding technique, which is a little too complicated to do on your own hair. If you have a special event coming up then this would be a great look, ask your stylist for a halo braid.

Man charged in knife incident with Front Royal police
Daily staff report
Front Royal police arrested a 34-year-old man Monday afternoon at 219 Cloud St. after a confrontation in which police say he swung two knives in a threatening manner.
Chief Norman A. Shiflett said Shane E. Bowling of 2265 Wilson Blvd., Winchester, was charged with disorderly conduct and obstruction of justice after police brought him to the ground with a Taser discharge.
Shiflett said Bowling, who also faces pending charges in Winchester for violation of a protective order, was taken to Warren Memorial Hospital with self-inflicted injuries to his arm.
Bowling refused medical attention at the hospital, according to Shiflett. Police then took Bowling to Warren County Jail for a mental health evaluation, Shiflett said.
Shiflett said the confrontation began at about 1 p.m. when Bowling made a 911 call to the Warren County Sheriff's Office and stated he had slit his wrist and had a handgun with him.

Emerging Leaders Program
What is the Emerging Leaders Program (E.L.P)?
E.L.P is a bi-weekly leadership development program that provides a space for students who are a newer to the leadership process to have in depth conversations about the foundations of leadership, justice, and involvement at Loyola. E.L.P uses a cohort-based model to develop community with participants and to encourage completion of the program. By participating in the program students will have the opportunity to engage in the leadership process through experiential learning activities and group discussions.
Examples of program topics: engagement in the university community, understanding personal strengths and leadership style, values based leadership, communication and conflict management, collaboration and the group process, diversity and social justice, creating positive social change
Who's an Emerging Leader?
- Any Loyola student who wishes to explore their personal philosophy of leadership
- Students wanting to develop skills to more effectively work in teams and/or organizations
- Students wanting to gain knowledge and tools to aid their ability to create positive social change on campus and in the global community.
Learning Outcomes:
As a result of participating in the Emerging Leaders Program, students will be able to:
- Describe the knowledge and skills they have gained that relate to values of the Social Change Model of Leadership
- Develop and articulate a higher level of self-efficacy in their ability to engage in opportunities for leadership development
- Build and sustain relationships with peers and/or staff in order to gain resources and support towards their involvement opportunities at Loyola and the surrounding community
- Articulate what they have learned about themselves, others, and systems that contributes to the development of multicultural competence
How do you register for the program?
E.L.P is currently a one semester (Fall 2014) program that does not require the submission of an application to participate. However, we do ask students to register in an effort to track numbers and interest in the program. Registration has closed for the Fall 2014 cohort. Please check back in November for updates regarding our Spring 2015 cohort.

It is way too bloated, has poor linear non-OOP designed implementations and in fact does PHP no real favours - apart from being a use to lazy developers ?
IMO of course :lol:
I don't keep track of PHP5 development, so tell me: will there be a standard API like for Java, where there are standard classes with which you can do things that are currently done using PHP functions?Quote:

var $string;
function String ($string) {
function __call($method,$params,$return) {
switch ( $method ) {
case 'strstr':
case 'str_replace:
// Throw method not found exception
return true;
$string=new String('Hello World');
// Displays 'World'
echo ( $string->strstr('Hello ') );
// Displays 'Goodbye World'
echo ( $string->str_replace('Hello','Goodbye') );
The main thing IMO is that PEAR defines a set of interfaces for things like database access and XML parsing which people should implement.
BTW - if you haven't already, check out the PEAR web installer - it's truly impressive. Good tutorial about setting it up here: http://www.phpkitchen.com/article.ph...21201062516970
Not picking an argument here HarryF - for the most part I trust your point of view etc - but I do not think that implementing an already existing API (PEAR in this regard) to PHP5 as it's class library in any way.
You your self have said in the past that PEAR is bloated; and it is. But the idea of using existing functions (ie String Replace) could be something to look at.
But we do not need PEAR thank you :D
I've never seen the words 'cost' and 'not matter' in the same sentence before when referring to a software project. You must be working for one of the only companies that hasn't been effected by the downturn.
Actually, NWC, Business 2.0, etc have charted that IT spending hasn't actually gone down during this "downturn", and will actually rise by between 2-7% this year.
As I was saying in another thread, getting funding for projects is easy, so long as you approach it with proper business sense: cost cutting, strategic decision making and long-term benefits.
I'll be spending 500K more at work than has ever been spent on IT. All of that money is immediate savings. Not 1-year ROI, not 5-year commitments. Immediate savings.
I love how your wisdom extends to who people are, how much they know and what companies they work for.
*L* @ web installers being truly impressive... This was one of the "marketing gimmicks" you used to hold against .NET, as you can do web installs of any application you develop automatically.
Okay - own up; who I wonder has just knocked 2 points off my reputations ? :lol:
Buggers.... Yes, I did have a look over at www.go-mono.com and it's all interesting and all that.
But it isn't really, truely grounded from open source is it now ? PHP is a fine scripting language and it really is a fine example of open source and what open source can really be and do.
Wonderful stuff this open source yes ?
Before you could ever use Mono you'd need a compiler and the CLR runtimes if I had read correctly, then on top of all that you'd need those class libraries.
And then finally you'd have to embed the runtime within your own applications.... not unlike PHP for example (open source btw) where you just install along with Apache (for example) and your laughing.
Nope, sorry - I stand by that statement I made earlier. :D
There are really only two reasons I use PHP (at this time):
Java is growing on me as I learn more about it.
- My only other extensive programming experience is BASIC
- It was introduced in my classes along with ASP, and I dislike ASP purely for political reasons :D
Like any mechanic, his toolbox is full of useful items, the use of which is purely dependant upon the job he has to perform.
I'm still in the process of filling up my toolbox. ;)
Think there's a few things here. First, yes I've said things against PEAR in the past but have been giving it alot more time recently and although it's true that it suffers from bloat, there's still alot to be said for it.Quote:
Not picking an argument here HarryF - for the most part I trust your point of view etc - but I do not think that implementing an already existing API (PEAR in this regard) to PHP5 as it's class library in any way.
You your self have said in the past that PEAR is bloated; and it is. But the idea of using existing functions (ie String Replace) could be something to look at.
But we do not need PEAR thank you
First as to the bloat, there are two types of "bloat" it seems. First there are "god classes" which implement tons of stuff in a single class and could do with being broken up.
The other type of bloat though is (I think) a good thing; coarsely grained packages which come with alot of functionality and alternative ways to use them. A prime example is PEAR::Cache which provides a very powerful caching mechanism (even capable of caching in shared memory rather than to the disk). Depending on your requirements you'll probably never use alot of it but that doesn't mean PEAR::Cache shouldn't provide it. The design is excellent IMO.
Otherwise what I'm suggesting is PEAR, with help from PHP5's new features can (and will) reform itself.
The medium of doing this is the interface classes IMO - if you look at Java's JAXP for example, they're provided an interface for XML parsers to implment that means programmers like you can I can use JAXP rather than writing code which depends on a specific XML parser (which may have bugs) - JAXP is something like a database abstraction layer.
By setting this standard, Sun now leave it to developers of XML parsers (like Apache's Xerces) to implement the interface. This model would work extremely well with PEAR IMO and more to the point, methinks the PHP group in general are gearing up to do this - take a look at this for example: http://ny1.php.net/talks/show.php/php5intro/32
First off, why isn't it true open source? Becuase it's based off an MS technology? You've lost me with this "true open source" thing, is this an elite kind of dealie where it's only open source if based off Linux? I'm not being snide, just wondering.Quote:

As far as what you'd need, I don't think you'd need a separate compiler, CLR or anything from Mono, in fact from the Mono homepage:
Not entirely sure what your review of Mono is meant to be, to be honest, but it's a fully working implementation of the ASP.net and ADO.net areas, basically allowing you to create complete ASP.NET applications on Linux.Quote:
Mono includes: a compiler for the C# language, a runtime for the Common Language Infrastructure (also referred as the CLR) and a set of class libraries. The runtime can be embedded into your application.
I do agree with you about what I've quoted though PEAR ? Why not vicent's Eclipses instead - which IMO is far better anyway...Quote:

Because it isn't orginating from the open source environment is it ? It is a Microsoft technology and it begins from there; no where else.Quote:
And why can't Mono be a fine example of what Open Source can do?
PHP isn't open source due to linux - PHP IS open source with or without the OS being linux.
Is Windows OS open source ? Didn't think so...
Eclipse doesnt have a SOAP class, a HTTP class, a cache class, an archive class, a html class, any networking classes...... need I go on?Quote:
Why not vicent's Eclipses instead - which IMO is far better anyway...
Eclipse is very good but it only has a very small number of general purpose tools.
What does that have to do with anything? You're basically implying that any ideas microsoft come up with are inherently evil or flawed. Mono is as open-source as any other OS project out there.Quote:
Because it isn't orginating from the open source environment is it ? It is a Microsoft technology and it begins from there; no where else
Eclipse - Fair enough, though this approach in vincents design IMO would be better than the design approch of PEAR, no ?
Anyway, that's all academic really since we cannot predict the future.
As to Microsoft and Mono I am not all that anti- Microsoft as to the average person.
Mono it's self may be open source, but does it not use components/frameworks/whatever you may call it from Microsoft ?
That's the point I'm trying to get across really, isn't it ?

To be honest, i think most of this thread is really childish.
Use the tool that suits the project at hand. End of story.
if you have that much experience with J2EE than stick with it. If you have the time, have a look at PHP, give it a try, and make up your own oppinion instead of reyling on what others say (though i am not too sure about your orginal intention; ie. if you were really interested in why php is popular etc...).
I am pretty sure(99%) that there will never be a single ruling language.
Not with all the diversity etc... not to mention that human beings are different, and as such have different likings (one MAJOR example being for example the syntax of VB, i personally HATE it, and i know a lot of others do too, but then there are all those who love it [go figure]..).
I have said this in another thread once (long time ago, can't remember which one), it is very unproffesional to claim that one technology is superiour to another. (from a developer's point of view, not a marketing one :P )
I think the key is to specialize in one or two languages which you like, and that's it. (and i don't really mean PHP if saying specializing, cause really, any C++ or Java Developer wil pick up PHP in a breeze).
Just my 2 cents ;)
datune, my main purpose was to see why others got into php like they have. I was hoping to find compelling information so I would have to take an honest peek myself. I haven't found it, so I'll stick with J2EE and keep on going with .NET. ;)
I came from Perl. I think that's enough said about that
Sean :)
Why PHP,
Of course because its the simplest, cheapest way to get dynamic content into a website. Thats it!
You can argue semantics all day long, what it boils down to is ease of use.
Don't let your egos in the way, we all know that most of us in this thread are professionals, so no need to toot our own horns. But basically thats the reason people use it. Its easy and cheap. It doesn't solve all the problems, but for dynamic content, its the ticket. Of course, IMO.
You know, im sorry if this may sound rude, but PHP itself is prolly the best compelling information you will ever get.Quote:

Also, im wondering why you are interested?
Are you not satisfied with the technologies you claim to know?
Are you bored?
Trying to improve your horizon (dought that, cause otherwise you would have taken a look at PHP first)?
Not that i care personnaly, but i'm having a hard time to believe you SERIOUSLY wanted to evaluate PHP's capabilities.
Someone's probably said this, but there are sooo many built-in functions. Yeah, you could get COM objects in ASP, but then you have to have a dedicated server or a VERY generous web host....
:glances oddly at kyle: ... huh? You do know that .NET contains 15K classes, right? A dedicated server? I think you're talking about old ASP, in which case you'd be best read something like this: http://www.codenotes.com/do/articles...?articleID=534.
Basically, the only thing that's the same is the name, the rest is completely different :)
As far as freddy's quick "boil it down", those are the exact reasons I chose .NET, to be honest :)

Accommodation in Tokyo for Teams Travelling, Playing and Training in Japan
Tokyo is an enjoyable mix of old-world charm and modern technology. The understated and ridiculous are often seen side-by-side in an odd sort of symbiosis that somehow just "works". As the beating sports heart of Japan, Tokyo offers a handful of Olympic-quality sporting facilities for everything from soccer ("football") to sumo to baseball.
Teams traveling to Tokyo can find satisfaction in the availability of accommodation in Tokyo, including those with proximity to the world-class public transportation systems, both train and bus systems. The trains are packed like sardines at all hours of the day and night, but the majority of the lines stop running at midnight local time. Many international travelers voice fears of pickpocketing and valuables being taken while traveling. Tokyo's public transportation is one of the safest in the world, and some travelers have even told tales of leaving valuables behind, only to have them later returned in full by a Good Samaritan or bus driver. Roomorama is the favored English website for trip planning, as it is a simple "type in the start and end points for routing" type of site, similar to Google Maps and the Scout application on computers and Android phones. This site will not only plan your trip for you, but also allows for the selection of stop-overs for sight-seeing, eating and enjoying local culture, or it can direct you to the best express line to avoid an unnecessarily lengthy trip. Changing trains to reach a specific destination is common, as is the seemingly rude behavior of those traveling the same train lines. Personal space allowance is a concept that needs to be thrown out during one's time in Tokyo, especially when traveling by public transit.
There are a vast array of places to stay in Tokyo, including hotels, resorts and short-term rental apartments. Those seeking to remain in the heart of the city will enjoy Hotel Niwa, a mash-up of contemporary design and traditional Japanese architecture. Hotel Niwa offers free in-building wireless internet (the connection speed is reputably slower than accustomed to in America, but consistently operational), a fitness center, cable television with LCD televisions, a business center for team meetings and conferences, laundry services and an on-site restaurant specializing in Japanese cuisine. An average night in a double occupancy room costs about $192 USD. Just a short walk from the hotel is a handful of other eateries specializing in French fare and other international delights, a twenty-four hour convenience store and shops of all kinds. A slightly longer walk will bring the war memorial and museum, while heading the other direction would bring the Imperial Gardens. Also within a short distance are the Japan Rail stop and airport express links.
Teams seeking a more home-like experience can pursue short-term apartment rentals, including Economy Apartment Akihabara near the Ueno Park, Western Art Museum, the National Museum and Zoo, and close proximity to four different subway lines, JR stations and the direct connection to the Narita Airport, Keisei Skyliner Line. An average night for four in a two bedroom apartment is only $79 USD, but a minimum stay of four consecutive nights is required. Available amenities include wireless internet access, air conditioning, television, bed linens and towels and a full kitchen.
Teams traveling with family will enjoy the variety of family-friendly hotels, including the Four Seasons Hotel at Marunochi, ranked number one by tripadvisor.com and averaging $90 USD per night. This location is touted for its proximity to shopping and the metro station "practically right next door". One available amenity not entirely common in the local hotels is 3D glasses for watching television and movies. Also available for use is the on-site spa, offering an array of treatments from massage to facials and just about everything in between, including the traditional Japanese onsen.
Sight-seeing in Tokyo is almost essential. Time Magazine published an article with the top ten things to see and do in Tokyo written by Maryann Murray Buechner. Ranked number one on her list is the Tsukiji fish market, opening at 5am local time and allows public access on certain days (check this website for specific dates http://www.shijou.metro.tokyo.jp/english/market/tsukiji.html). While such an early time may not be suitable for everyone, there is a great variety of sushi counters that open later to allow for a sushi breakfast. It is said that a trip to Tokyo is not complete without partaking in such local fare. For a traditional flair to your visit, a stop at Meiji Shrine is essential. With less of a tourist-y feel than the Senso-ji shrine, Meiji has a torii gate and is set on a two hundred acre park-like oasis, complete with cleansing station and communal water tank. Yoyogi Park is also a must-see, as it is a perfect fusion of local culture and a more mellow escape from the condensed lifestyle of the big city. Admission to the park is free, and is close to the JR lines with multiple exits that will allow a visit to the park. The most beautiful of the parks is the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a sprawling space of greenery, including sections called the English Garden, French Formal and the ever-popular Haha to Ko no Mori (Mother and Child) statue. The ever-popular Roppongi Complex is home to a wide variety of shops, cafes, full restaurants, a movie theater, a garden and the impressively enormous Maman (a spider statue).
No matter if one is traveling alone or with family, there is something for everyone in Tokyo, with enough variety to truly make the trip a memorable experience on almost any budget.

A little more than a year ago, radical political and social changes in the Arab world were triggered by a series of mass uprisings and demonstrations. At times bloody, the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt were only the start. Gaddafi's fall in Libya followed, as did unrest in other countries of the Maghreb and Mashreq. Civil war-like conditions still prevail in Syria today.
Social networks as well as the many films of these major protest movements and the ensuing violence have contributed substantially to the perception of these uprisings in the Arab world. Pictures from Tahrir Square in Cairo have already become a part of our collective visual memory.
With all the controversy surrounding the publication of offensive cartoons in France, there is an alternative to the anti-Islam xenophobia, an exhibition of work by Arab artists in light of the Arab Spring. Described by Le Monde as art that "has more meaning than most modern work".

Trigger Warning
A Notre Dame student was shot in the arm by a neighbor this week.
Regrettably, sexism pervades even the shortest of news briefs, and many news readers' comments.
A 28-year-old neighbor shot this student while she was outside his door because her knocking convinced him he had to employ violence to protect his family. No arrests have been made.
User comments on these news stories express that the violence against this woman was her fault, because she had been to a club and was intoxicated. If that isn't victim-blaming, I don't know what is!
8 Comments
Wow, I read this and I had issues. Specifically with the comments made were horrendous. I'm slightly afraid of the houses near my campus now because one of these "blame the victim, i'd do it too" may live there. And I posted a comment stating this and was even more horrified afterwards:
"Thank you for your submission. All comments are reviewed prior to being posted on this site. Station reserves the right to remove a comment at any time. Email addresses are not published or shared. They are for station contact purposes only. Comments will be posted as soon as practical."
That means all of these blame the victim and misogynistic and ageist (because a lot of them also targeted her being a student) were APPROVED BY STATION FIRST. They ALLOWED this type of hate to be posted on the website.
The exact same thing happened last month to a 22 year old Colorado Springs man, only he was killed.
While the homeowner in this case obviously made a horrible mistake shooting through the door rather than waiting for the police to arrive, I can empathize with his fear. Honestly, if you've told someone to go away, that you have a gun, and they're still trying to get into your house… that's fricking scary.
I live on a popular walking-home route from the local pub, and even when I'm fairly certain the person fumbling and banging at my side door at 2am is just another confused drunk it can still be frightening. My roommate is in the habit of standing behind me (discreetly) holding a meat cleaver while I'm trying to convince the person to leave.
Actually, I didn't read anywhere that he'd asked her to go away, although the article may have simply left that part out. It just says this: "The shooter, a 28-year-old man, told police he heard a lot of pounding on his door. When the woman would not go away, he shot through the door."
So he may have just listened to the pounding, and then decided that it must be a threat and pulled the trigger. Or he may have warned her repeatedly and felt that she must be dangerous after she did not heed any of his warnings. But we really have no way of knowing, either way.
Still though, even the most permissive gun protection laws don't allow people to shoot strangers for knocking on doors, do they? I thought that a person had to be (at the very least) actively trespassing in order to be a legitimate threat to one's home.
Its unclear from the article, but I think saying she "wouldn't go away" rather than she "didn't go away" implies that someone asked or told her to go away.
Still, I can't imagine why this was so threatening that he had to SHOOT her rather than wait for the police.
There's a brief interview with him in the second article linked. The way he describes it there wasn't any knocking, just someone trying to get in his front door in the middle of the night. I think he may live in a pretty bad neighbourhood, because he said he was afraid to even go look out the window in case whoever was there had a weapon. He yelled at them repeatedly to leave, called the police, warned the people at his door that he had a gun, and then when they were still trying to enter his house he fired a single shot.
The situation is horrible, and he should have waited for the police rather than panicking, but its not as simple as someone shooting a stranger for "knocking" at his door.
I'm going to guess that none of you live here.
I do live here.
And I'm not going to say the guy was right for shooting through his door, but let me just tell you that people in this area are spooked!
Why? Because there have been so many shameless break-ins in this city and the surrounding areas. Many, many break ins while people are sitting in their living rooms watching TV, making dinner, getting ready for bed . . . Everyday there is news of new break-ins and no one is exempt from them.
The website isn't trying to "stifle your opinion" they really just filter for profanity, so if you check back, your comment should be posted. They don't filter opinions, as you can see.
I don't think this is sexist at all. And I don't think "victim blaming" in this circumstance is unfounded. Being SO DRUNK that you can't determine which house you live in is pretty damn foolish, no matter your sex.
"Regrettably, sexism pervades even the shortest of news briefs, and many news readers' comments."
I'm confused, where was the sexism in the news brief?
Hi everyone. I actually just went to the screening that Emily mentioned above last night, and it reminded me how much I love feminist discourse, and how much I miss having it on a daily bedroom furniture basis. Did this group ever get together? Either way, anyone up for another one?

Lately there has been a lot of talk about point guards and who is elite and who is not. At the beginning of the year, ESPN ranked all the players in the NBA. Of the top 10 five of them were point guards. Furthermore, after watching Mike Conley win a point guard battle against the up-and-coming Eric Bledsoe of the Phoenix Suns, it made me wonder where Conley fits in the PG rankings. Right now in the NBA, Chris Paul is the unanimous best point guard in the league and it's hard to argue with that logic. Paul is currently averaging 18.9 points, 12 assists, and 4.8 rebounds per game and has the Los Angeles Clippers at 12-7 on the year.
Furthermore, many believe that Tony Parker belongs just below or right with Paul as top point guard. Parker is averaging 18 points per game but shoots 53% from the field. Only one other point guard is above 50 percent. Lastly, Parker has won three titles and was a huge reason the Spurs made it to the Finals last year. However, after Paul and Parker it's up for discussion as to who is next in the PG rankings. Let's show how Conley should be in the top 5-10 discussion.

Ok, can of worms coming up . Lets put land price and taxes aside. I may expect to much but these parks asking $25 and up with nothing more to offer than E/S/W are out of touch with the time. Here is how I see it: First, general site 15 to 20 dollars; second time of season, if the pool is closed or wifi is down, ect, I should not have to pay extra. What I am saying is the price should go up according to amenities. Tonight I am staying at a park for $34.02 a night. Pool is closed, boats for rent are packed away, no cable, Wifi works, e/s/w, and park is located on a busy interstate .
What I am trying to accomplish here is not to vent but to get people thinking about things when they write their reviews. To give a park an eight through ten, I believe, requires that the price reflect what you get. Further, I praise all who contribute to this sight because I now use my two wonderful camping books(not mentioning any titles) for camp fire starters. Thank you and safe journey .

You are bringing up a topic that I have started a similar subject on another site. At first I got blasted and then had others to jump in agreeing with me.
What I'm really asking for is a dollars worth of service/amenities for a dollar paid.
I just reviewed 25 parks that we have visited this summer. I gave top numbers to one that only had w/e. No paving, no cable, only one place would the satellite work, no WiFi, but we only paid $15. To me that rates higher than one that we paid $36 for that charged $3.95 for WiFi, no cable, we had to unhook the toad in a pull thru (we're 35' long) but beautiful scenery in a touristy area. Now this one I don't feel we got a $ for a $.

This subject is all over the map. In Las Vegas we paid $50 to 55 per night for Outdoor Resorts of American with everything. In the deep woods will may find prices in state park or Core parks to be $15- 20 with only w/e. Here in FL one Core park has summer rates as low as $10 with 50 amps & water. Some parks in CA are up around $60 plus per night with everything. We do not look at price per night as much as we look at location. If we wish to tour a town or city we look at places to park motorhome close to that place. If we wish to see the hills and mountains we look for a state or Core park. We will not drive 100 miles to tour a city from some park in the woods if we can find a place close by. Cost to much time and gas to drive long ways. We move the house from place to place. We also travel a lot of back roads and stop in small towns and cities as we move from place to place. Some days we may only travel 50 miles or less. RV life is fun, not a job. Some places you pay more and get less, that is life.

I have posted, in the past, on this very subject. I still believe that some form of standards, and or requirements, for campgrounds should be available, to those who may use them. This would eliminate any and all surprises upon arrival. The standards should be classified, and each campground would fall into one class or another. Then the question as to whom will be responsible for making those classifications comes to mind. State department of Tourism comes to mind, but then maybe County department of tourism may also fit the bill. The camping publications are useless as they do not give the complete picture. We also agree that one should have a dollar of value for a dollar spent.

I think when the parks are $35 or more you can find a motel for the same price.
After all you are using your facilities. There should be 2 types of parks
one for overnight with just electric and water and a dump some where in the park for $10 and another for longer stays for more with more ammenties.

Everyone has a different needs and are willing to pay more or less for them. I like going over to Morro Bay State Park in Ca. It is w/e only w/dump station. The cost is 65.00 for a weekend. This is what I get charged at some parks for 1 night. Now these more expensive parks do have more amenities to them. Now I just wish the Parks would charge like the state parks do one price for 6 people not 40.00 per night (2-people) 3.00 to 5.00 per extra person/dog. It can get a little pricy real quick with 3 kids plus a friend or 2 and the mutts.
I am for charging one price for a basic site and move on up from there. I have seen some RV parks/campground packed like sardines were you could not even use your awnings and I would rather pay less and drive for 10 to 20 min and have a more relaxing time.

I agree. The RV Parks don't have a problem increasing their prices because it costs them more to drive to work at the RV Park from their home, but they are sure sloppy on the service.
I can't tell you how many times I've gone to the office to tell them the TV cable wasn't working. They acted like it had just failed 5 minutes before I arrived. NO REBATE FOR OUR STAY.
We were at a place this summer in Washington called Eagles Nest. The TV cable wasn't even on the site, but they still charged for it. Management told me it had broken some time ago and they hadn't gotten around to repair it. No rebate because I wasn't a member of the park, I was a drop-in that paid only $38.00 per night.
I only hope the RV Parks are intelligent enough to read these forums to correct their short comings.
