I am pleased with LCA, I have two children that attend and love the Christian belief. I could not see myself sending my children to any other school than LCA. The curriculum is challenging, but I see this as an advantage because it is preparing them for college. I love the faculty and staff.
My son is now in the 4th grade at LCA and has been there since K4. It is truly an incredible school. The staff are dedicated to your child's success and development. The curriculum is fast paced but the children learn at a phenominal rate. He will, without a doubt, be an LCA graduate.
Overall LCA is an amazing school. This is our second year there and we really like it. The curriculum is amazing and we love the principal. They are a little more strict than I would like but if that is the only negative thing that I have to say then I think we are doing just fine.
My daughter wil not be attending this school again next year. Way to much drama. They expect these little children to act like adults. What ever happened to letting kids be kids. Not inpressed at all with LCA. Will not be recommending everyone to this school!
Bad experience with LCA pulled my kids out. It is so stricted over their that the kids can't breath. The teachers do not watch the kids enough nor defend them if a student is being wrongly accused. You have a 7th grade Math teacher who doesn't work problems out on the board because he doesn't know how to do them correctly, so now have of the class is failing. You have teachers giving the right answers on test and letting kids retake tests til they get a good grade. Sounds like public school. If your kid does wrong good luck... No one stands up for for what is right. Parents don't let the faculity bully you take a stand.
My daughter has gone since Pre-K. She is now in 4th grade. Her teachers have nurtured her academically and socially. They are concerned just as much with character development as academics. I love the school. It may not be for everyone but for us, it has been awesome.
Fantastic school... The staff and administration is wonderful and caring. The school is advanced and unfortunately some students struggle to succeed academically if they do not have a solid foundation; however, the compassion to help these students achieve is second to none. Students aren't weeded out by the administration... parents and students do that to themselves. We absolutely love the school and would be no where else. Thanks LCA!!!
lca is a perfect school if you are looking for a school for your child this is the school. this is a great school if you want your child to grow in faith and teachers deal with any problems you might have
If your child does not fit the perfect profile then you won't succeed in this school. Perfect kids appreciated, less than perfect are weeded out. Staff is not accountable for actions because everyone is family and related.
I have been to other Christian Schools and had the unfornate run in with religious spirits. LCA provides a healthy environment for my children to grown spiritually and in knowledge. They are organized, loving, merciful and they use sound wisdom. They are great examples of Christ for our children by nurturing them to be the person God created them to be in this world. They have a great sports program and they never cease to amaze me with all the programs they put into place.
This is my son's first year (K5) at LCA, and he is thriving very much in LCA's environment. This school is very structured, caring and motivating. LCA challenges our children both academically & socially in a christain environment. I regularly volunteer at the school and this is a private school that actually does practice its faith practices. There is no tolerance for bullying, peer pressure or other ugly behaviors that I have seen at other schools (both private & public). I have & will continue to refer LCA & The Family Church to all my friends & family.
LCA is a great school to go to. You learn way more than a public school. I know that because I used to go to one but ever since I swiched to LCA the teachers,students, and staff members are amazing to me. All parents should put their kids at LCA.
After struggling with the public school system, we decided to place our children at LCA. We have been impressed beyond our wildest dreams. The training and education provided are probably the best in Lafayette. The athletic program begins in 3rd grade and continues through high school. The staff is absolutely wonderful and completely supportive of each and every student, individually. The teachers are genuinely concerned and care for my children. They enjoy their jobs, which is always a positive thing. I would recommend this school to anyone interested in a wonderful Christian education.
My kids say that they love it, the teachers are amazing and the kids help others. great discipline and great teaching skills.
Last year was my last year at LCA. It is a wonderful school in education, teachers are awesome but they do not show you what happens in the real world.
This is my daughters second year at LCA and the faculty & staff are wonderful and I cannot say enough about the Christian training she is getting. My husband & I are always recommending LCA to others.
LCA is a wonderful school. My son just loves it. His teachers are all wonderful.
This is a wonderful school. The academics are outstanding and the atmosphere is safe and welcoming. I am a math teacher myself and I am very pleased with the education that my son is receiving. Thank you LCA for being a great school.

Communities to get EPA moneyFebruary 12,2013
BRATTLEBORO The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says one community in Vermont and two in Maine will receive technical assistance to pursue sustainable growth that encourages local economic development while safeguarding peoples health and the environment.
Brattleboro, along with Brunswick and Portland in Maine, are among 43 communities in 27 states across the country chosen to receive the assistance through the EPAs Blocks for Sustainable Communities program.
EPA staff and national experts will conduct one- or two-day workshops focusing on the specific sustainability goal each community chose in their initial application to EPA.
Some of the tools offered this year included projects called a Green Building Toolkit, Land Use Strategies to Protect Water Quality, and Using Smart Growth to Produce Economic and Fiscal Health.MORE IN Vermont NewsA close gubernatorial election raised questions about support for Gov.

KILLEEN (December 22, 2012)-Roland Wornham, his son, daughter and grandson are without a home this Christmas after a fire ripped through their home on Saturday afternoon.
"There was so much smoke you could not see yourself, and then I saw the truck was on fire," said neighbor Joann Winn.
Another neighbor noticed smoke at the home off of Leader Drive just before 3 p.m. and warned the homeowner.
"I knocked on their door and said, 'Roland, your house is on fire, you guys guys got to get out," said Ralph Gutierrez.
"I thank God for letting me come out and look over there and notice something was wrong."
The owner was in the garage working with a space heater when he went into the house for a moment.
The homeowner and his son were able to get out of the home unharmed.
Two other people that live at the home were not there at the time of the fire.
Wornham and his family said the most important thing this Christmas is having each other.
"It's not going to be the same, but we'll figure it out," Wornham said.
"We're blessed to have nice neighbors and just knowing that everybody got out safely."
The fire is under investigation.

At this point, there is a high probability that the correction is over. The intra day low reached 10% correction from the high last week. We also had a follow through day on both the Nasdaq and S&P.
I'm looking to buy back in when the S&P pulled back to 1,910-1915. Otherwise, I will buy back on the break out at 2,020.
I'm surprised that the market made a U turn after only a brief 10% correction. Will have to wait and see.

Take Father In Law's Offer?,
E-man said:
On The Fence,
You over-think this. It's not about you. Your FIL is just being respectful by asking you. The reason he is willing to foot the mortgage payments because he wants a better place for his daughter and grand daughter. Eventually, the money will belong to his daughter and grand daughter anyways.
Since he's footing the bill, he still has total control of the property. However, I would ask him to add your wife's name on the Grant Deed so she can write off the MID and property tax. That should save you guys thousands each year.
Saving $1,500/month won't get you anywhere in the Bay Area. If you're going to borrow his money for the down payment, how are you going to afford a $1M home with your salary and your savings? There is no way you can pay him back with those numbers.

This is what I said
E-man says
Too busy building an empire for the next generations.
and this is your response. Not sure what to make of it.
So many people think getting a home and acquiring an "empire" is all that matters and will make them satisfied. Well, I have news for all of you, it's not what matters..........We have lost our way, and the next two generations are paying the price.
I'm different with you. I see the potential issues. Therefore, I work hard so the next generations don't have to pay the price.
Imagine if what CDon said below were reality...... Think about the unthinkable for a moment.
Even worse, imagine your parents had rented and the owner suddenly decided not to rent to your brother anymore.
Crap happens all the time. If one owned his own house, he has more control of his destiny. Iwog had to move twice because his landlords wanted to sell the house. Reality sucks sometimes, but it is what it is.
Regardless of what you and anyone want, the market will do what it does. Facing reality and figure out how to outsmart the system is the way to get out to the rat race hell hole.

My first real estate bear thread (ever),
E-man said:
Yeah, thanks E-man for your advice. Your reactions are cute.
I own and business, a non-profit and I lecture at the university, so don't waste any of your very self-important time worrying over what I contribute.
Ha! Maybe I should take your advice and try and find some other creative outlet besides choreographing, designing and directing the Bay Area's biggest semiprofessional nonprofit Nutcracker.
Snicker, snicker. ;-)
It's still a crap hole. Just because I choose to try and beautify the crap hole does not mean I don't recognize it's a crap hole. On the contrary, I believe in whistling in the dark and decorating your prison.
I own two businesses my self, but for profit. I was asked to teach engineering at SJSU several times, but I turned it down. Too busy building an empire for the next generations. So what's your point?
Like I said above, one can get different results with the same effort. It's not what you think, but it's how you think.
I don't offer advice. I state my observation. Not sure who should be the one snickering.
A lot of people disagree with you. People don't pay $750k - millions for a house to live in a crap hole. People from all over the world have been sacrificing their lives for a chance to make it to this land of opportunity.
Every individual is responsible for his/her own destiny. It's our own fault that we are not happy with our life. We only live once. Why go through life with bitterness? If you're not happy in this crap hole, move. If you decide to stick around because of family, make it work but don't use them as an excuse. A lot of people are doing the same thing because they have roots here. However, I don't see they're being bitter about it.
Crap hole? I beg to differ. Land of opportunity? Hell yeah.

Your ranting is hilarious.
Crap hole? I call it survival.
Hell holes? Everyone has an obligation to something, and they make it work. Why not you? Instead is spending time ranting, you can use that effort for something for creative.
Some people spend time to think of ways to SAVE money while others are that time to think of ways to MAKE money. The same effort with different results.
That's my 2 pennies.

Multiple Streams of Income,
E-man said:
May I ask how you got into that business?
I'd say conviction. I have always had a passion for real estate since I graduated back in 1998. When I went to graduate school. My favorite professor said "if you let me look at your night stand, I will tell you what you should do with your life." I went home and looked at my night stand and saw 3 real estate books. The light bulb went off.
Unfortunately, the numbers didn't add up in 1999-2000. Prices were high and interest rate was around 8%. Even then, I kept on evaluating deals after deals and kept on plugging in numbers into my spreadsheet almost every day all the way up to 2006. It was massive negative cash-flow after negative cash-flow.
Summer 2008 was when the numbers started to make sense. The numbers were beautiful in 2009. I decided to quit my job to pursue RE full-time. Wife was the only one that was supportive. Every else said I was crazy. To make it memorial, I put in my notice, and my last day of work was on 9/11/2009.
I planned to establish my track record before going after people with money. Well, the track record was establish, and now people want to invest with me. I'm not quite a private fund manager, but I do manage mine and our investors' real estate assets.
Along the way, I was introduced to a deep pocket individual, who is now my partner. He has a lot of liquid cash in the bank so banks are bending over backward to earn his business. The old saying is so true. Banks lend money to people that don't need money. So far, we have been able to borrow millions in loans with 3% interest rate from First Republic Bank. The ironic thing is.....my partner doesn't have a job and so do I. They lend based purely on our net worth and the collateral assets.

E-man, how is the hard-money loan market right now?
Flipping may be difficult with such low inventory level.
BTW, be very careful with any fund manager. See if there can be some claw back arrangements with the incentive fees. 100% return this quarter and -100% next quarter will make him very rich and you quite a bit less rich. :-)
Not investment advice
Hard money loan is slow due to the lack of inventory. A lot of money chasing less deals has been the case for months now.
Flipping is a job, and the competition for deals is fierce. There are no deals at the courthouse steps now. The money is being made in buying 2/1 houses and making them into 3/2 or 4/3 houses. This proves my point that it's a job.
I have been syndicating deals and making $15k to $25k/deal. That was the reason why I put everything else on the back burner. Therefore, I'm looking for something passive, and that is why I'm looking at a fund manager.
I have a friend, who is a fund manager. He has been doing it for a living for a long long time. He and some of his investors got burned during the downturn. Fortunately, they were able to recoup the money during this upturn. I haven't been investing with him because I was able to make much much higher returns elsewhere. Now that ship has sailed, I'm open to all options that can generate passive income.
Really appreciation for the warning. It's definitely not risk free.

Here are a couple of options I'm considering right now.
9) give money to a fund manager with 10% preferred returns. Anything above that will be split 50/50.
10) get back into flipping.
11) buying tax liens are a long shot right now.

Why your house is a terrible investment,
E-man said:
The 2005-like conversations are nauseating. I don't know why I feel compelled to counter all the bulls. But I feel like I have seen this exact thing in my lifetime...just 10 years ago. "It's different this time." All the buzzwords are on the table. Don't worry guys, when the house of cards falls, you won't be vomiting in your mouth everytime you see a new post on patnet.
Actually, this is not quite 2005 yet IMO. I believe we're closer to 2003. I'm not sure which bulls you should counter to because we have been very consistent with our thesis.
As mentioned here before, there's a high probability that some of us, who you consider are bulls, will start doing some liquidation next year, but the ideal year to liquidate is 2016. We also mentioned that we believe 2017 is the top of the market.
You might be right, and we might be right. It's too early to tell. If you go back to threads from 2009-2011, Iwog called the bottom of the housing market, and a lot of bears argued with him. So far, +1 for Iwog and -1 for the bears.

Fort Wayne,
I'm a yay on this. Business owners will have to increase their fees and prices to make up for it. In the short-term, it may hurt their bottom line. After a couple of years, everything will be back to normal.
Fortunately, I'm a landlord who have 30-year fixed mortgages. Inflation is very good for my bottom line. The workers get a raise, I get a raise while my mortgages stay the same. I call it like it is. Unlike others, I don't do lip service for a living. I hope other cities will follow suit shortly after yours. Yay!!! :-)

Thanks for sharing your True Colors!
What color is that? You're the one who is having issue with where people choose to buy and live. You're the one that's having problem with what type of cars people drive. Everything is about face to you. Could it be that you're having a self-esteem issue?
Unlike you, I couldn't careless where people want to live or car they drive. I don't give a damn what people think of me and where I live.
The reason people are on Patnet is because they want to know about where we are in the cycle of the housing market. You didn't see the bottom and gave a lot of bad advice through out the years. The same goes for Thomaswong. I respect you two because you two were older. But giving bad advice is.....well, bad advice. It's so true that respect must be earned. It cannot be given. Lesson learned.
I talk to other folks in their 60's and 70's on a regular basis because I don't have a JOB. Some are real estate investors themselves. They give a perspective about the Bay Area since the 60's and 70's. They acknowledge the change and understand why housing prices are where they are. On the other hand, it seems like you and Thomaswong are still living in the past and not receptive to change. Hope and change are what get people out of bed everyday. Fear is what keeps us from getting what we want.
What I have learned is that HOW you think matters. Fear and self doubt are real. However, don't be afraid of them. Respect them, keep going and move past them. Fear and doubt can be bridged with knowledge and insight. People who KNOW this are those who have crossed that river and are standing on the other side.
Since you and Thomas were older, I thought you two would be much wiser, and I could learn from you two. Unfortunately, wisdom doesn't always come with age for everyone. Another lesson learned for me.
I guess I should try to learn from those that have succeeded in the real estate investment arena in the Bay Area instead of listening to two old guys, who even though grew up here, didn't have the foresight and are stuck in the past. Like they said, your attitude determines your altitude. People are where they are in life for a reason.
Good luck to you and Thomas.

Why your house is a terrible investment,
E-man said:
See what I mean?, this web site's become all about face, keeping face, making face, losing face, "in your face".
This fella, who doesn't know me, knows what I didn't do ("didn't recognize"),
knows how I feel ("bitter"),
shoulda done ("Had you made"),
knows what I coulda been doing ("you guys would be sitting pretty"),
knows what someone else woulda done ("Had
Patrick bought in Menlo Park ").
Welcome to his smarty pants world.
Welcome to what has become of Patrick's website.
Welcome to what has become of the Bay Area.
That has always been your theme. Everything is about face to you. Your co-workers bought houses in the Fortress, you believe they bought them to save face. Your co-workers drive nice cars, you believe they bought them to save face. Has it ever occur to you that they bought in the Fortress because of better schools? Have you ever considered they drive a nice car because it's much more sturdy than a Civic or your Camry?
People have different priorities in life. You made a choice to buy in East San Jose and was bitter about it when it lost a lot of its value during the downturn while their houses held up in value much better. I don't know if you're bitter that they look down on you because of where you live, but I couldn't careless about other people's opinion. If you have a problem with that, that's your issue.
Apparently, Thomaswong also lied about his purchase in Los Gatos back in the early 90's. Could it be that he tried to "save face" by saying he bought there? Hmm..................... Not sure who are the ones trying to save face here.

Cab driver reports robbery in Stafford County
RELATED: See more crime news from the Fredericksburg region
MORE: Read more Stafford County news
By KEITH EPPS
A cab driver was robbed early Saturday – possibly at gunpoint – by two fares he drove to the England Run area of Stafford County, police said.
Sheriff's spokesman Bill Kennedy said the robbery took place about 1:20 a.m. in the area of Noble Court and England Pointe Drive. The Virginia Cab Co. driver told police he had picked up two men from Aladin's restaurant in Fredericksburg and taken them to Stafford.
The driver stopped in the 300 block of England Pointe Drive and asked for the $16 fare. The men said they needed to go to one of their aunt's nearby homes to get the money, so the driver took them about 200 yards to Noble Court.
The front-seat passenger told the back-seat passenger to go get the money. Instead, the back-seat passenger placed something into the back of the driver's neck and told him, "Don't move. Give me all your money, or I'll blow your head off," Kennedy said.
The robbers took an undisclosed amount of money, an iPhone and a tablet and ran toward England Pointe Drive, police said. The driver ran after them for a short while before remembering that one of them may have had a gun, Kennedy said.
The driver was waiting on a sidewalk when deputies arrived. A perimeter was set up and a police dog attempted to run a track, but the robbers were not found.
The robbers were described only as two black males. One was described as 5'5″ and between 130 and 140 pounds, and the other was nearly 6 feet tall and 150 to 160 pounds. Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 658-4400 or Crime Solvers at 658-2020.

SYNOPSIS: Abby, a wholesome young woman becomes possessed by the Nigerian god, Eshu. REVIEW: ABBY is a forgotten blaxploitation gem from the golden age of American International Pictures. Upon its release, it had been remarkably successful, grossing millions (its budget had been under $500,000). But, shortly after its initial run, American International got sued by Warner Bros. for ripping off THE EXORCIST.

I wondered from the moment I saw Etu Molden was on his way to Spokane to play for the Shock - what's a guy with his credentials doing here? As you'll see, that wasn't at all meant to say anything negative about the athletes in the arenafootball2 league. The question came to mind because Molden was such a success in the AFL.
As you'll also see, Molden completely opened up about it. It's always refreshing, and appreciated, when that happens. The personal things he shared with me answered my question, too. It's a question I figured a lot of people were asking - so here's the link to my feature with the answer.
Oh, and if you think that name - Molden - sounds familiar, it should. At least, if you're an Eastern Washington University football fan. I pasted (off the EWU website) more on that below.

Akhilesh Yadav may be a young dynamic leader and looking at his popularity Mulayam Singh even made him CM. Problem for Akhilesh is that even though he is CM, he cannot go beyond the wishes of his father and that became apparent immediately as he nominated some of the goonda elements of the party as cabinet ministers. As a CM he has his limitations as his father has a strong grip on the party members and he cannot go against his wishes.Answered by Manoj Adwani, 06 Aug '13 11:06 am

"They don't make 'em like they used to…" – 'Tough Guys,' soundtrack. Words and music by Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager, Touchstone Pictures, 1986
Some say that most of the time everyone wants to be great, because they have a natural desire for acceptance, recognition, and praise. Perhaps this is so.
And in a dark and pathological time this means that everyone wants to have power. Power becomes the standard of value, the coin of the realm in a deeply fallen world. And in such a perverse world the only virtue is greed.
So they who serve the world want to be tough guys, unafraid, quick and intemperate on the attack, harsh. Yes that is the mark of power, of one of the formidable wielders of weapons. As if there can be any just weapon that we may take up on our own, that is not given to us by the Lord for His purpose. Continue reading

Chamberfest Day 13
New Music Now
De La Salle High School Auditorium
Tuesday afternoon
Call me old fashioned; go ahead, I don't mind. I like music, and especially music of our time. And music of my time includes Britten, Bartók, Shostakovich, Stravinsky and Maconchy. All of these composers wrote much of their work before I was 30 and some of it was considered pretty scary by most audiences, but I hung in there and discovered what it was about.
My point is that, 40 years later, those composers' works are nearly all standard repertoire. One wonders how much of the new music we hear today will be commonly performed in the future. Probably not much. Time has a way of winnowing artistic creation, and it always has.
Will electric guitarist Tim Brady's music be performed in 40 years? Maybe not. The selections he played in his New Music Now concert were fusions of electronically-enhanced guitar pieces and projected, mostly abstract images. Although there was a perceptible coherence between the music and images, the sum of them was not much more than their forgettable parts, though later in the program the musical numbers and the visuals were a bit stronger.
In a sense, the doubt I expressed as to whether Brady's music will stand the test of time is irrelevant. Composers should and usually do write for their own time. Let posterity worry about what's in its standard repertoire.
The last concert in the New Music Now series was devoted to music by Gary Kulesha, who also hosted all of the New Music Now programs. His music is more traditional in approach, though it doesn't sound old-fashioned at all. Kulesha's works were all written in familiar forms; he composed the two sonatas and piano quartet heard in this program in the past few years.
The first was his 2013 Sonata for Flute and Piano written for and, on Tuesday, played by Susan Hoeppner with Kulesha at the piano. One of the purposes of the work was to explore types of playing that we don't normally associate with the flute — portamento, for example.
The flute sonata is in the familiar three movements, fast-slow-fast. It's an intelligent, engaging work, as is the composer's mellifluous Trombone Sonata, once again from 2013. It was played on Tuesday by Gordon Wolfe and accompanied by James Parker. It had a uniquely beautiful movement for trombone alone.
The final offering of the program, and of this year's New Music Now series, was Kulesha's 2012 Piano Quartet played by the Gryphon Trio and violist David Thies-Thompson. It's a strong and exciting score.

'Central Oregon Beer Angels' going strong
Updated On: Aug 15 2014 03:31:43 AM CDT
It's not your average cocktail hour. Women from around Central Oregon are getting together several times a month to discuss beer.
"I was going out to beer events and noticing that there were women, but they were few and far between, but the ones I did meet were super awesome," Gina Schauland, president of the Central Oregon Beer Angels, said Tuesday. "I thought, 'Hey, it would be awesome to have a group of women just meet to talk about beer."
With that thought, the Central Oregon Beer Angels were born. The group was founded in January 2012. About 35 members were at the first meeting, and now they've grown to about 300 participants.
The Beer Angels gather at monthly meetings to discuss not only beer, but also fundraising efforts.
A different charity organization is chosen every year. Last year, the Beer Angels raised over $3,000 for Sarah's Project, a breast health education and outreach partnership founded by St. Charles Health System.
"Part of the membership fee goes towards the non-profit," Schauland explained.
Volunteering is also a major part of being a Beer Angel. The group gets involved in many volunteering activities around the Bend area.
Most of all, the Beer Angels stay true to their name and enjoy Central Oregon beverages with one another.
"I think people come out just to have a good time, make new friends, and just be in the moment, Sarah McDougall said at Tuesday's event.

COLUMBUS, Ohio— Ohio State University will donate $181,000 to two local child-advocacy organizations from funds it received from the Big Ten Conference's sanctions against Penn State.
Ohio State announced Monday it will allocate money to the Nationwide Children's Hospital Center for Family Safety and Healing and the Court Appointed Special Advocates of Franklin County.
MORE: Manziel investigation | Behind the scenes at LSU
The funds stem from sanctions against Penn State that required the school to relinquish $2.3 million of conference bowl revenue the school would have earned had it been allowed to play in the postseason. The 12 schools in the conference, including Penn State, received a share of the money to donate to children-focused charities.
The NCAA also imposed landmark sanctions on Penn State following a sweeping child sexual abuse scandal involving retired assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

On Saturday, Feb. 11, at 11 a.m. Grammy-nominated musician Brady Rymer (bradyrymer.com) will perform pop, rock and country hits with a family-friendly flair.

All in all it is time well spent and the donations go to support local nonprofit organizations.
Best wishes for a very happy birthday on Feb. 3 to Brian Sinclair, with love from your family and friends!
I mentioned to you last month that our wonderful friend, Amanda Frank, got engaged to Josh Palmeri during Living Water Church's Christmas show. Amanda has been my daughter's aide for the last three years and she is such a big part of our family. In the midst of wedding preparations, Amanda and Josh have been planning a mission trip to Uganda. The trip is sponsored by Timothy Hill Children's Ranch in Riverhead. The Ranch has partnered with Patchogue Church of Christ to send young people from the East End to serve the needs of children in Uganda. Amanda and Josh will be helping to construct farm buildings to house chickens to feed the children, a medical clinic to provide health care and plumbing for some of the homes in the Uganda area. If you have the means to donate, please send a check to Patchogue Church of Christ, P.O. Box 548, Patchogue, NY 11772 and put Uganda-Amanda and Josh in the memo line. The world gets smaller when we extend a hand from home!
Congratulations to Jamesport resident Ava Robinson on her awarding-winning dolls. She says, "The guys have their Super Bowl Sunday, but I had my own 'Super Doll Sunday' at the annual Patchogue Doll Fanciers Club show and sale at the Sheraton in Hauppauge. I didn't need a car to get home; I flew on a cloud!" Ava won five first-place ribbons, four second-place and one third-place. The dolls were entered in many categories, a few of them competing against each other in the same category. Her all-original composition doll, Shirley Temple, was a hit with show-goers. Also winning a blue ribbon was an all-original Toni Permanent Wave doll, complete with end papers and curlers. A Women's Army Air Corps doll also took a blue ribbon, complete with uniform hat and insignia and a leather shoulder bag.
Ava has an extensive doll collection with wardrobe from the 1940s and 1950s. She was especially excited to compete this year because she missed the show last year due to illness. Considering Ava's award-winning success, her mom has always said, "Better things come to those who wait." Well, Ava, your persistence and patience certainly paid off. Congratulations on your achievements.

I am writing this column with a beautiful view of the Long Island Sound. It is the view from Johanna's room in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Stony Brook Hospital. Johanna needed emergency brain surgery last Friday. Thankfully she is recovering nicely and will be home with Taffy by the time you read this! I want to send a special thank-you to Bill Van Helmond for plowing the driveway last Saturday. Bill, your generosity took pressure off us and enabled my husband to easily get up to the hospital. Thank you!

Last week there was a beautiful article in the News-Review about the difficulties faced by parents of medically fragile children. The article featured Angela's House, an organization that provides two smaller houses on Long Island specially designed with 24-hour nursing care to accommodate the children's complex medical and physical needs. Angela's House also facilitates provisions for families like ours who have medically fragile kids living at home. Without their support we would not be able to provide for Johanna's special needs in our home.
If you haven't read the article from last week, please do so today. Also, please consider making a donation at angelashouse.org, by mail to Angela's House, P.O. Box 5052, Hauppauge, NY 11788, call Bob Policastro at 631-979-2620 or email email@example.com. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer.
My college kids are back to school — two in Ohio and one in Gaming, Austria. MaryAngela is having the adventure of a lifetime studying abroad for the semester. We wish them well and can't wait to see them in May!
A very happy New Year to all of you! I hope your holidays were wonderful!

We celebrate the Christmas season with friends and family all the way through till "Little Christmas," the Feast of the Epiphany, so we closed our Christmas season just last weekend by sharing a meal with some special friends. Thanks for all the emails and seasons greetings from you, our wonderful neighbors and members of our community! A special thanks to Bill Van Helman and his Christmas offering of snow plowing our driveway. Bill offered to assist us so that we can be sure we are able to get Johanna out easily and so that all of her therapists and teachers can get into the house easily. Call me when it snows and I will give you Bill's number. All I have to say is "Let it snow!"

As for Sandow, fucking delighted he got in, his interaction with Punk was awesome and hopefully a sign of things to come in his future. I've said for weeks that Sandow's the best active Superstar in the company right now so in my opinion he HAD to be in. I just hope his model isn't half arsed like a lot of DLC sometimes is, I hated Barrett's model in SVR11.
Oh, and the robe, that has to be in or his entire character is ruined for me, although they seem to be putting more effort into entrance attires this year, Miz and Cody have their jackets, Ryder has his phone lol so if they can get those in surely they can get Sandow's robe, especially considering it's an integral (Egyptian cotton
) part of his character.
It's a shame Dolph didn't get his pink shirt but that's just me nitpicking.
I realise where they're going and that WWE will push Roman Reigns straight to the top. However for me, Dean Ambrose is by far the most talented in that group and I think eventually if they just give him the spotlight then he's going to shine. As soon as he touches a mic everyone else can just sit down as he's magic on it. So It remains to be seen, I think they're all talented but to me Dean was the star of that group. I think Roman looks like the star of that group but I don't think he's nearly as talented as Dean.

The European Commission (EC) has awarded EDCTP a grant to prepare for the transition to a second EDCTP programme under Horizon 2020. The agreement was signed in February 2012. The project is called "EDCTP-Plus: Laying the Foundations for the EDCTP2 Programme". Its activities will be carried out in the period 2012-2013. The EDCTP2 programme is anticipated to take off in January 2014.
The aim of the project is to maintain an active presence of the EU-Africa research partnership and to lay the foundation for efficiently implementing and managing the EDCTP2 programme with its expanded scope and budget.
The EDCTP-Plus project will enable EDCTP to continue to support its capacity strengthening and networking activities, to prepare for greater coordination of European research activities within its expanded scope, and to prepare the organisation for a flying start of the second programme.

Hi Everyone,
Last month actually 30 days today my boyfriend was suspended from work. He is suspended until further notice over lies someone told. When the suspension first happened he didn't tell me I found out from his co worker. I texted him but he didn't return the text until 6 days later telling me he is not doing well. I tried to text him again with no response. I was very worried so 2 weeks from the day he was suspended I went by his house. He was sitting there in his work clothes and looking very thin and not well. I stayed an hour and left. He kept his head down and not said much.
After I left I didn't make contact again until 8 days later I called him and texted him. He responded several hours later. He told me has has not heard anything from his job and he hates the place now. I tried to encouraged him to call the job but I doubt he did it. I tried to call the next day (last Friday) and he didn't pick up instead he sent me a text and said I'll call you back. He didn't and I did exactly what I wasn't suppose to do. I took it personally and told him I'll try him next week to see if he has time for me. He responded and said "I don't think you understand what I am going through I speak to my family because they live here if not I would be in a room by myself. When I get like this I can't help it. The only thing that makes me feel better is being in a dark room. I am depressed right now" I told him no i don't know what he is going through and I apologized that this is new and I don't always know what to do. This is hard for me you were taken away from me and sometimes I feel I'll never see you again. I said would it be easier if I left you alone and you reach out when you need me. He didn't respond. I sent him a message on Father's day and he said thank you. I tried reaching out to him yesterday because everything I have read tells you shouldn't leave a person who is depressed alone. I got no response.
He clearly said sitting in a dark room makes him feel better. The man obviously has been through this and has gotten himself out. We have only been together for a year and half,so this is the first time I am seeing this type of behavior.I am losing it and feel that anything I do and say will be a mistake and pi** him off. He doesn't lash out he just ignores me. We work at the same place and I am afraid that although we have a relationship outside the job, when he sees or talks to me he is reminded of the job. The place that is screwing him around right now. So as of today I went into 30 days no contact. I don't know what else to do but give him so space. I just don't know if this will be seen as unsupportive and I don't love him because I do more than anything. I told him I wasn't given up on us so if I stop speaking to him will that give him mixed messages? it goes against everything i've read about people being depressed It says to call often but i feel calling often is only pi**ing him off and making him worse. If anyone has any other suggestions on how to help. The 30 days for me is needed to get refocused because I've been completely stressed and feel like I am becoming depressed as well.
Thank you for listening.

Like James Nicoll and most of his commenters, I read this update on a problem with Voyager 2 and thought V'Ger:
The mission has zeroed in on a flipped or bad bit in the flight data system being the likely culprit for the spacecraft's current problem with formatting science data properly. Remember that computers store information as strings of ones and zeroes or "on" and "off" bits. Once in a while, a passing cosmic ray can evade the radiation protection on a spacecraft and slam into a memory bit; when that happens, the bit may change value, from zero to one or vice versa. It's a lot like a transcription error in DNA; it's a sort of mutation of the code. It's possible that the flipped bit will have no or insignificant effect on the spacecraft, but once in a while, a flipped bit happens in a very important location and causes serious problems, and that's what the Voyager team thinks happened within Voyager 2's flight data systems.

Life imitates movie publicity:
Fortunately, it turns out that there is a good explanation for why Obama canceled the Constellation program. That explanation has been provided by Richard C. Hoagland. Hoagland, you may remember, is the person who discovered the lost city on Mars, and a bunch of giant invisible structures on the Moon that he asserts are the remains of alien civilizations. They're there, he says, but because they are invisible we have to trust him.
Hoagland has come up with a startling revelation… that Obama canceled the lunar program because (drum roll please): he was warned by Space Nazis. […]
It's crazy, but it's not quite up there with my favourite Hoagland theory, about Iapetus. Now that's quality crazy.

It is time to shed the lies. But also it is time for the world to view, uncensored, Stanley Kubrick's greatest unknown masterpiece. I ask NASA to release all of the footage directed by Kubrick for the faked Apollo landings.
May I also suggest that NASA use the millions of dollars made from this surely successful movie release to fund another mission to the moon?

The British version of the X-Files is no more:
The government has shut a unit which has investigated UFO sightings for more than 50 years, judging its resources better spent on more earthly threats.
"The MoD has no opinion on the existence or otherwise of extra-terrestrial life. However, in over 50 years, no UFO report has revealed any evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom," it said in a statement.
Sceptical readers will note that they don't say that UFOs don't exist, just that there's no threat to the UK. Is this because they've found no evidence of alien visitors to UK airspace, or <paranoia level="maximum">compelling evidence that the government has already signed a non-aggression pact with an alien power?</paranoia>

The Cassini probe's latest flyby of Enceladus has produced some mind-boggling images and animations.
On the way past Earth one last time, the Rosetta probe grabbed a couple of gorgeous photographs of the crescent Earth.
I can't make my mind up which I prefer: the shot of a blue-and-white planet posted by Emily Lakdawalla or the warmer, more colourful picture posted by the ESA, featuring sunlight glinting off the ocean.
The universe turns out, once again, to be stranger than we had imagined. It's been suggested that the neutron star at the heart of Cassiopeia A has a very peculiar atmosphere:
The properties of this carbon atmosphere are remarkable. It is only about four inches thick, has a density similar to diamond and a pressure more than ten times that found at the center of the Earth. As with the Earth's atmosphere, the extent of an atmosphere on a neutron star is proportional to the atmospheric temperature and inversely proportional to the surface gravity. The temperature is estimated to be almost two million degrees, much hotter than the Earth's atmosphere. However, the surface gravity on Cas A is 100 billion times stronger than on Earth, resulting in an incredibly thin atmosphere.
50 Years of Space Exploration would benefit from a decent key explaining some of the colour coding, but even without such frills it's still pretty wonderful.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has started taking photos of the Apollo landing sites.
At the moment LROC is orbiting at a relatively high altitude, but NASA plan to make further passes over the landing sites in September which will give us a better look at the Lunar Modules, the instrument packages and the tracks left by the Lunar Rovers. I can't wait.
I've seen plenty of film of the Space Shuttle blasting off. I've even seen footage from a camera strapped to the side of a shuttle at lift-off. Until today, I'd never seen a film showing a Solid Rocket Booster's fall back to Earth.
The images of the shuttle taking off and accelerating towards orbit are pretty routine. The latter half of the film, from the last glimpse of the Shuttle – still attached to the external fuel tank – carrying on into orbit while the booster begins the long, long fall earthwards, is one of the most awe-inspiring film sequences I've ever seen.

More weapons-grade stupidity from astrologer Satya Harvey, commenting on JAXA's plan to crash-land their lunar probe Kaguya in order to observe the composition of the debris thrown up by the impact:
Purposefully crashing something into the moon just to watch what happens is akin to a schoolboy cutting up a live frog to see what makes it jump. It is an example of the domination of the left-brained rational scientific approach over the intuitive.
Did these scientists talk to the moon? Tell her what they were doing? Ask her permission? Show her respect?

Alan Stern discusses the history of NASA's attempts to find evidence of the presence of water ice on the Moon and details the steps NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will be taking over the next year to resolve the issue:
What is clear about lunar polar ice is that it is hard to confirm with any single technique from orbit. And although it would be much easier to confirm with a properly equipped polar rover, such a mission would be far more expensive than LRO and is not yet on the books. NASA planners putting together the payload for LRO recognized both of these facts, and assembled an armada of five separate instruments that could search for the ice from orbit, each using an independent and complimentary technique.

The UK is recognised as a leading user of CCTV and the public are used to seeing CCTV cameras on virtually every high street. Such systems continue to enjoy general public support but they do involve intrusion into the lives of ordinary people as they go about their day to day business and can raise wider privacy concerns.
We know from our research that the public expect CCTV to be used responsibly with proper safeguards in place. We have therefore issued guidance to help organisations who use CCTV to comply with the Data Protection Act 1998 and to help them inspire public confidence that they are using CCTV responsibly.
Images of people are covered by the Data Protection Act, and so is information about people which is derived from images – for example, vehicle registration numbers. Most uses of CCTV by organisations or businesses will be covered by the Act, regardless of the number of cameras or how sophisticated the equipment is.
The Data Protection Act does not apply to individuals' private or household purposes. So if you install a camera on your own home to protect it from burglary, the Act will not apply.

We have published the following guidance to help organisations using CCTV to stay within the law:
CCTV code of practice (pdf)
This updated version of our code of practice provides guidance and advice for CCTV users on how to comply with the Data Protection Act and also includes a simple checklist for users of very limited CCTV systems where the full provisions of the code would be too detailed.
CCTV in pubs
The ICO has received a number of enquiries from pub landlords on the issue of CCTV installation being made a condition for obtaining, or continuing, a licence to sell alcohol. The ICO view on CCTV in pubs in and some frequently asked questions for licensees can be found below.
