So as my prevous post hinted, I've been working on a giant granny square. I picked up this project from Joelle's Giant Granny Square at The Purl Bee; I used their Granny Square Tutorial and Crochet Basics Tutorial to figure out to do it (with generous help from a lovely friend who works at Purl Soho, actually delivered the yarn when I needed it and some cheering up, and is generally awesome). I'm using Koigu Premium Merino (link to Purl) a.k.a. KPM (link to Ravelry). Having gotten some link soup out of the way, it's time to talk about how awesome and exciting this project is.
First of all, it's my first successful atttempt at learning to crochet! I bought a book a while back and attempted to learn at Jewish supplementary summer camp even longer ago (I believe I made most of a yarmulke before getting to a part where I was supposed to use a contrasting color to spell out a name or the like and proceeded to get bored and give up) but I never managed to get quite interested enough to keep up with it. The endless color palate of KPM and the soothing, repetitive nature of this project called to me, so I asked the aformentioned friend if she could possibly pick out a cheerful palate for me and the results were stunning. (See above pictures for how enthralled I was and am!)
Of course, the first batch was not nearly enough for the full splendor one of these giant squares, and I had to return to the store for more. It's a special, giddy kind of fun to line up all the colors I have already and all of the colors I'm considering and sort them out to different spots and and find that perfect progression that just satisfied my color sense in exactly the right way. It's a different, slower type of enjoyment to see the colors layering onto each other as I crochet them on.
(I may have picked two more. Um. And I'm waiting on purples to be stocked.)
I also had what may be a first on this project; I didn't like the way a color order was coming out so I just ripped an entire round and started over. I didn't have one of those emotional "THIS PROJECT IS CRAP I GIVE UP LET'S THROW IT INTO A CORNER SHALL WE" moments or anything like that. I just pulled it out, wound it up nicely, and took some pictures to comemorate the moment. Then I crocheted the next round.
I'm starting to feel like I'm perhaps compelled to type out this much content becuase I feel awkward about putting in too many pictures without some intermediate filler. Well, um, phooey to that. This is a pictures post. So there. And if you suspect that maybe I had a little too much fun with iPhoto, well, phooey to that, too. There's no such thing as too much fun editing photos. So there.

Certainly add this to the Sheriff office and questionable behavior of some of their staff. I have seen them do questionable things that concern the citizen in me to question if those that do these things are good for the community.
I would ask Forbes if he was drunk.. But on the other hand there is a list of things I believe the Sheriff needs to change in order to improve the community.
troy prouty*
Why not share your list of things to change here. No doubt he's always open to suggestions that may help to improve the community. Don't you think, Troy?
Train your officers that in order to stop someone, they must have reasonable suspicion of a crime.
Train your staff to deal with mentally ill people. This just isn't them per say but Newberg Police as well. They let a person with an illness out in the colde with their stuff (left with Newberg) police, things like key, debt cards. They released the person with one shoe that worked. The person was not able to get their stuff from Newberg for two weeks after being released. Today that person is in a State facility getting help. Next time I hear of it, I won't be so nice and send emails and call cell phones that never get answered, they can expect a lawsuit (I'm always happy to refer people to Kafoury) wink..
After dealing with Seattle violations the last 6+ years, I have no problem drawing the "respect" line both ways with Federal backing it up.
Like I have always said have integrity (you do that, I'm there, you don't.. no go..)

Medium Room Subwoofers
Medium rooms require higher output subwoofers to fill the room with massive bass compared to those for small rooms. Medium-sized rooms also might not have enough floor space to accommodate the biggest-sized subwoofer cabinets. A medium room can be up to 20'x20' or 18'x24' with an 8' ceiling (18'x18' or 16'x20' with a 10' ceiling).

Courtesy Rainier Fruit Co.Junami is a new apple variety available beginning in January from Rainier Fruit.The new year marks the rollout of a new apple variety, Junami, from Rainier Fruit Co.
"Junami is fruity, tangy, crispy and incredibly juicy," said Suzanne Wolter, marketing director for Selah, Wash.-based Rainier Fruit. "It's an extremely refreshing apple to eat and will be available for the first time in January."
The grower-shipper has various promotions in place to help move volume.
"To make them stand out, we developed a brand around the variety name and created a larger size (Price Look-Up label) to better show the Junami name," Wolter said. "Point-of-sale material is packed directly into the apple box, providing information to produce personnel and ensuring delivery to store of the material."
Besides the in-box POS, the company packs the fruit in a high-graphic, variety-specific box that can also be used for building waterfall-like displays.
"This season we offered secondary display bins," Wolter said. "These bins are a great way to create a destination within the produce department, draw attention to the new variety, and provides a ready-made location to display them."
Rainier Fruit will support retail print ads with demos and additional merchandising to fit each buyer.
Junami and Lady Alice, which is entering its fifth season, retail for about $1.99 per pound, in the ballpark of other varieties like Pink Lady or Jazz.
"Consumers don't seem to mind the higher price for prominently displayed, limited availability, great-tasting apples," Wolter said.
Rainier Fruit will market Lady Alice for its February appearance in produce departments. "It has a subtle sweet-tart flavor and an heirloom quality dense cell structure," Wolter said. "It's incredibly slow to brown, making it the perfect apple for salads, cheese platters or for use by slicers."
One of the qualities the company sought in developing both varieties — Junami and Lady Alice — is a capacity to build flavor while in storage.
"We have the flexibility to store them and release them later in the season when many regional, lower-volume varieties have been sold," Wolter said.

Reloaders seldom give wads the same critical attention given to other components. Often the result is poor performance - due entirely to the wad. Paper cup and fiber wads provide effective gas pressure seals inslug loads. Plastic shot cups protect buckshot pellets and provide improved pattern performance for new low recoil buck shot loads. And of course the reload wouldn't be complete without Winchester shot. Winchester's uniform, chilled lead shot provides consistent shot patterns and better penetration. Strict quality control throughout the manufacturing process assures the ultimate in performance.
• Available in 12, 20, 28, and 410, for all kinds of loads: target and field.
• Designed for the proper rate of collapse.
• Forms the right shape cup over the powder for proper obturation.
• Cushions the initial shock, designed to take the bite out of recoil.
• Petal design protects the shot against flat-spotting, minimizes flyers in the pattern.
• The uniform ballistics obtained with brand name wads may not be achieved with lower cost substitutes.
* Wad must collapse at pre-determined rate in order to insure the proper pressure curve from the burning powder.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a disease in which the heart muscle (myocardium) becomes abnormally thick (hypertrophied). The thickened heart muscle can make it harder for the heart to pump blood.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy often goes undiagnosed because many people with the disease have few, if any, symptoms. In a small number of people with HCM, the thickened heart muscle can cause shortness of breath and problems in the heart's electrical system, resulting in life-threatening abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias).
Fortunately, people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy often lead normal lives with no significant problems.
Signs and symptoms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy include:
A number of conditions can cause shortness of breath and heart palpitations. It's important to get a prompt, accurate diagnosis and appropriate care. See your doctor if you experience any symptoms associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Call 911 or your local emergency number if you experience any of the following symptoms for more than a few minutes:
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is usually caused by abnormal genes (gene mutations) that cause the heart muscle to grow abnormally thick. People with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy also have an abnormal arrangement of heart muscle cells, a condition known as myofiber disarray. This disarray can contribute to arrhythmia in some people.
The severity of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy varies widely. Most people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have a form of the disease in which the wall (septum) between the two bottom chambers of the heart (ventricles) becomes enlarged and obstructs blood flow. This condition is sometimes called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with obstruction or hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. About 70 percent of people with obstructive HCM experience symptoms.
Sometimes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy occurs without significant obstruction of blood flow. However, the heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle) may become stiff, reducing the amount of blood the ventricle can hold and the amount pumped out to the body with each heartbeat. This condition is sometimes called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy without obstruction or nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is usually inherited. There's a 50 percent chance that the children of a parent with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy will inherit the genetic mutation for the disease. Close relatives — parents, children or siblings — of a person with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy should ask their doctors about screening for the disease.
Many people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy don't experience significant health problems. But some people experience complications, including:
You may be referred to a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions (cardiologist). Here's some information to help you prepare for your appointment.
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may make time to go over points you want to spend more time on. You may be asked:
Before your appointment, ask your family members if any relatives have been diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or have experienced unexplained, sudden death. It will help your doctor to know as many details as possible about your family medical history.
If exercise makes your symptoms worse, avoid strenuous exercise until you have seen your doctor and received specific exercise recommendations.
Your doctor is likely to recommend echocardiography. This imaging test allows your doctor to see whether your heart muscle is abnormally thick, your blood flow is obstructed and your heart valves are moving normally.
Types of echocardiography include:
Additional tests might be done to look for other effects of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and help determine appropriate treatment. These additional tests include:
If you have a first-degree relative — parent, sibling or child — with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, doctors may recommend that you be screened for the condition. There are two types of screening:
The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms and prevent sudden cardiac death in people at high risk. Specific treatment varies depending on the severity of your symptoms.
The options include:
Lifestyle changes can reduce your risk of complications related to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Your doctor may recommend changes in your:
Being diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can cause a range of difficult emotions. Like many people with this condition, you may experience feelings of grief, fear and anger. These responses are appropriate to the lifestyle changes that come with your diagnosis.
Talk with your doctor if you are feeling hopeless, panicked or unable to cope. It may help to talk with a therapist. In some cases, your doctor also may recommend medications that treat problems such as anxiety and depression.
Because hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is inherited, it can't be prevented. But it's important to identify the condition as early as possible to guide treatment and prevent complications.
Implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator has been shown to help prevent sudden cardiac death, which occurs in only about 1 percent of people with HCM. Unfortunately, because many people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy don't realize they have it, there are instances where the first sign of a problem is sudden cardiac death. These cases can happen in seemingly healthy young people, including high school athletes and other young, active adults. News of these types of deaths generates understandable attention because they're so unexpected, but parents should be aware these deaths are quite rare.
Still, experts in heart abnormalities generally recommend that people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy not participate in most competitive sports with the possible exception of some low-intensity sports. Discuss specific recommendations with your cardiologist. The use of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator should not be viewed as a substitute for these recommendations.

Lee's Department of History, Political Science and Humanities, with a grant provided by the Charles Koch Foundation, will host this event.
Zuckert's talk will be about his book "The Natural Rights Republic," which clarifies much of the ambiguity surrounding the ideological inspirations of the American founding. Zuckert argues that first and foremost, Lockean Philosophy takes precedent over all others and reveals how the American Republic matches up with Locke's ideas of natural rights (with the most famous of these ideas in American civic culture being life, liberty, and property).
Zuckert is the Nancy R. Dreux professor of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame. He works in the two fields of political theory and constitutional studies, in both of which he has published extensively. Zuckert has published "Natural Rights and the New Republicanism," the "Natural Rights Republic," "Launching Liberalism," and (with Catherine Zuckert) "The Truth About Leo Strauss" in addition to many articles.
Zuckert has also edited (with Derek Webb) "The Antifederal Writings of the Melancton Smith Circle." He is currently completing a book called "A System without a Precedent," a study of American constitutionalism.
The Charles Koch Foundation was established by Charles G. Koch, who has supported academic research for 50 years. The Charles Koch Foundation currently supports nearly 300 initiatives at colleges and universities across the country. The foundation's goal in supporting colleges and universities is twofold. It hopes to promote a better understanding of the link between free societies and prosperity and to provide additional resources to expand students' educational opportunities and career development.
The lecture will take place at 6 p.m. in the Johnson Lecture Hall in the Humanities Center.
A question-and-answer session will immediately follow the lecture. Refreshments will be served.
For more information, please contact Dr. Thomas Pope at firstname.lastname@example.com or 423-614-8137.

It is evident that Jeremiah was the author of the Lamentations which bear his name. The book was not written till after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans. May we be led to consider sin as the cause of all our calamities, and under trials exercise submission, repentance, faith, and prayer, with the hope of promised deliverance through God's mercy.
The miserable state of Jerusalem, the just consequences of its sins. (1-11) Jerusalem represented as a captive female, lamenting, and seeking the mercy of God. (12-22)
Verses 1-11 The prophet sometimes speaks in his own person; at other times Jerusalem, as a distressed female, is the speaker, or some of the Jews. The description shows the miseries of the Jewish nation. Jerusalem became a captive and a slave, by reason of the greatness of her sins; and had no rest from suffering. If we allow sin, our greatest adversary, to have dominion over us, justly will other enemies also be suffered to have dominion. The people endured the extremities of famine and distress. In this sad condition Jerusalem acknowledged her sin, and entreated the Lord to look upon her case. This is the only way to make ourselves easy under our burdens; for it is the just anger of the Lord for man's transgressions, that has filled the earth with sorrows, lamentations, sickness, and death.
Verses 12-22 Jerusalem, sitting dejected on the ground, calls on those that passed by, to consider whether her example did not concern them. Her outward sufferings were great, but her inward sufferings were harder to bear, through the sense of guilt. Sorrow for sin must be great sorrow, and must affect the soul. Here we see the evil of sin, and may take warning to flee from the wrath to come. Whatever may be learned from the sufferings of Jerusalem, far more may be learned from the sufferings of Christ. Does he not from the cross speak to every one of us? Does he not say, Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? Let all our sorrows lead us to the cross of Christ, lead us to mark his example, and cheerfully to follow him.
1. how is she . . . widow! she that was great, &c.--English Version is according to the accents. But the members of each sentence are better balanced in antithesis, thus, "how is she that was great among the nations become as a widow! (how) she who was princess among the provinces (that is, she who ruled over the surrounding provinces from the Nile to the Euphrates, Genesis 15:18 , 1 Kings 4:21 , 2 Chronicles 9:26 , Ezra 4:20 ) become tributary!" [MAURER].
sit--on the ground; the posture of mourners ( Lamentations 2:10 , Ezra 9:3 ). The coin struck on the taking of Jerusalem by Titus, representing Judea as a female sitting solitary under a palm tree, with the inscription, Judæa Capta, singularly corresponds to the image here; the language therefore must be prophetical of her state subsequent to Titus, as well as referring retrospectively to her Babylonian captivity.
2. in the night--even in the night, the period of rest and oblivion of griefs ( Job 7:3 ).
lovers . . . friends--the heathen states allied to Judah, and their idols. The idols whom she "loved" ( Jeremiah 2:20-25 ) could not comfort her. Her former allies would not: nay, some "treacherously" joined her enemies against her ( 2 Kings 24:2 2 Kings 24:7 , Psalms 137:7 ).
3. ( Jeremiah 52:27 ).
because of great servitude--that is, in a state "of great servitude," endured from the Chaldeans. "Because" is made by VATABLUS indicative of the cause of her captivity; namely, her having "afflicted" and unjustly brought into "servitude" the manumitted bond-servants ( Jeremiah 34:8-22 ). MAURER explains it, "Judah has left her land (not literally 'gone into captivity') because of the yoke imposed on it by Nebuchadnezzar."
no rest--( Deuteronomy 28:64 Deuteronomy 28:65 ).
overtook her between . . . straits--image from robbers, who in the East intercept travellers at the narrow passes in hilly regions.
4. feasts--the passover, pentecost (or the feast of weeks), and the feast of tabernacles.
gates--once the place of concourse.
5. the chief--rule her ( Deuteronomy 28:43 Deuteronomy 28:44 ).
adversaries . . . prosper; for the Lord--All the foes' attempts would have failed, had not God delivered His people into their hands ( Jeremiah 30:15 ).
6. beauty . . . departed--her temple, throne, and priesthood.
harts that find no pasture--an animal timid and fleet, especially when seeking and not able to "find pasture."
7. remembered--rather, "remembers," now, in her afflicted state. In the days of her prosperity she did not appreciate, as she ought, the favors of God to her. Now, awakening out of her past lethargy, she feels from what high privileges she has fallen.
when her people fell, &c.--that is, after which days of prosperity "her people fell."
mock at her sabbaths--The heathen used to mock at the Jews' Sabbath, as showing their idleness, and term them Sabbatarians [MARTIAL, 4.4]. Now, said they ironically, ye may keep a continuous Sabbath. So God appointed the length of the captivity (seventy years) to be exactly that of the sum of the Sabbaths in the four hundred ninety years in which the land was denied its Sabbaths ( Leviticus 26:33-35 ). MAURER translates it "ruin." But English Version better expresses the point of their "mocking," namely, their involuntary "Sabbaths," that is, the cessation of all national movements. A fourth line is added in this stanza, whereas in all the others there are but three. So in Lamentations 2:19 .
8. ( 1 Kings 8:46 ).
is removed--as a woman separated from the congregation of God for legal impurity, which is a type of moral impurity. So Lamentations 1:17 , Leviticus 12:2 , 15:19 , &c.
her nakedness--They have treated her as contumeliously as courtesans from whom their clothes are stripped.
turneth backward--as modest women do from shame, that is, she is cast down from all hope of restoration [CALVIN].
9. Continuation of the image in Lamentations 1:8 . Her ignominy and misery cannot be concealed but are apparent to all, as if a woman were suffering under such a flow as to reach the end of her skirts.
remembereth not . . . last end--( Deuteronomy 32:29 , Isaiah 47:7 ). She forgot how fatal must be the end of her iniquity. Or, as the words following imply: She, in despair, cannot lift herself up to lay hold of God's promises as to her "latter end" [CALVIN].
wonderfully--Hebrew, "wonders," that is, with amazing dejection.
O Lord, behold--Judah here breaks in, speaking for herself.
for the enemy hath magnified himself--What might seem ground for despair, the elated insulting of the enemy, is rather ground for good hope.
10. for--surely she hath seen, &c.
heathen . . . command . . . not enter . . . congregation--for instance, the Ammonites and Moabites ( Deuteronomy 23:3 , Nehemiah 13:1 Nehemiah 13:2 ). If the heathen, as such, were not allowed to enter the sanctuary for worship, much less were they allowed to enter in order to rob and destroy.
11. ( Jeremiah 37:21 , 38:9 , 52:6 ).
given . . . pleasant things for meat--( 2 Kings 6:25 , Job 2:4 ).
relieve . . . soul--literally, "to cause the soul or life to return."
for I am become vile--Her sins and consequent sorrows are made the plea in craving God's mercy. Compare the like plea in Psalms 25:11 .
12. The pathetic appeal of Jerusalem, not only to her neighbors, but even to the strangers "passing by," as her sorrow is such as should excite the compassion even of those unconnected with her. She here prefigures Christ, whom the language is prophetically made to suit, more than Jerusalem. Compare Israel, that is, Messiah, Isaiah 49:3 . Compare with "pass by," Matthew 27:39 , 15:29 . As to Jerusalem, Daniel 9:12 . MAURER, from the Arabic idiom, translates, "do not go off on your way," that is, stop, whoever ye are that pass by. English Version is simpler.
13. bones--a fire which not only consumes the skin and flesh, but penetrates even to my "bones" (that is, my vital powers).
prevaileth against--not as ROSENMULLER, "He (Jehovah) hath broken them"; a sense not in the Hebrew.
net--( Ezekiel 12:13 ); image from hunting wild beasts. He has so entangled me in His judgments that I cannot escape.
turned me back--so that I cannot go forward and get free from His meshes.
14. yoke . . . is bound by his hand--( Deuteronomy 28:48 ). Metaphor from husbandmen, who, after they have bound the yoke to the neck of oxen, hold the rein firmly twisted round the hand. Thus the translation will be, "in His hand." Or else, "the yoke of my transgressions" (that is, of punishment for my transgressions) is held so fast fixed on me "by" God, that there is no loosening of it; thus English Version, "by His hand."
wreathed--My sins are like the withes entwined about the neck to fasten the yoke to.
into their hands, from whom--into the hands of those, from whom, &c. MAURER translates, "before whom I am not able \ to stand."
15. trodden, &c.--MAURER, from Syriac root, translates, "cast away"; so 2 Kings 23:27 . But Psalms 119:118 , supports English Version.
in . . . midst of me--They fell not on the battlefield, but in the heart of the city; a sign of the divine wrath.
assembly--the collected forces of Babylon; a very different "assembly" from the solemn ones which once met at Jerusalem on the great feasts. The Hebrew means, literally, such a solemn "assembly" or feast (compare Lamentations 2:22 ).
trodden . . . virgin . . . in a wine-press--hath forced her blood to burst forth, as the red wine from the grapes trodden in the press ( Isaiah 63:3 , Revelation 14:19 Revelation 14:20 , 19:15 ).
16. ( Jeremiah 13:17 , 14:17 ). Jerusalem is the speaker.
mine eye, mine eye--so Lamentations 4:18 , "our end . . . our end"; repetition for emphasis.
17. Like a woman in labor-throes ( Jeremiah 4:31 ).
menstruous woman--held unclean, and shunned by all; separated from her husband and from the temple (compare Lamentations 1:8 , Leviticus 14:19 , &c.).
18. The sure sign of repentance; justifying God, condemning herself ( Nehemiah 9:33 , Psalms 51:4 , Daniel 9:7-14 ).
his commandment--literally, "mouth"; His word in the mouth of the prophets.
19. lovers--( Lamentations 1:2 , Jeremiah 30:14 ).
elders--in dignity, not merely age.
sought . . . meat--Their dignity did not exempt them from having to go and seek bread ( Lamentations 1:11 ).
20. bowels . . . troubled--( Job 30:27;,Isa 16:11 Job 30:27;,Isa 16:11 , Jeremiah 4:19 , 31:20 ). Extreme mental distress affects the bowels and the whole internal frame.
heart . . . turned--( Hosea 11:8 ); is agitated or fluttered.
abroad . . . sword . . . at home . . . as death--( Deuteronomy 32:25 , Ezekiel 7:15 ). The "as" does not modify, but intensifies. "Abroad the sword bereaveth, at home as it were death itself" (personified), in the form of famine and pestilence ( 2 Kings 25:3 , Jeremiah 14:18 , 52:6 ). So Habakkuk 2:5 , "as death" [MICHAELIS].
21. they are glad that thou hast done it--because they thought that therefore Judah is irretrievably ruined ( Jeremiah 40:3 ).
the day . . . called--(but) thou wilt bring on them the day of calamity which thou hast announced, namely, by the prophets ( Jeremiah 50:1-46 , 48:27 ).
like . . . me--in calamities ( Psalms 137:8 Psalms 137:9 , Jeremiah 51:25 , &c.).
22. Such prayers against foes are lawful, if the foe be an enemy of God, and if our concern be not for our own personal feeling, but for the glory of God and the welfare of His people.
come before thee--so Revelation 16:19 , "Babylon came in remembrance before God" (compare Psalms 109:15 ).

To purchase drought-tolerant plants in California, you might start by consulting these sources:
- The California Native Plant Society
- The Theodore Payne Foundation
- Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden
- Las Pilitas Nursery
- Tree of Life Nursery
- Matilija Nursery
- Santa Barbara Botanic Garden
- Native Sons
- The Metropolitan Water District

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is sponsoring the Trees for a Green LA program which is open to all LADWP residential electricity customers who have adequate space to plant trees. Participants can receive up to seven free trees for planting per residential property, depending on site-specific limitations.
For rain barrels:
- The Rainbarrel Guide is a comprehensive website on rain barrels with an extensive list of links that includes vendors.
- Clean Air Gardening's Clean Air Gardening's website has information on and sells various sizes of rain barrels.
For cisterns:
- Norwesco Inc's Web site has information on and sells various above and below-ground water tanks/cisterns.
- Aqua-Flo has store locations in Southern California.
Additionally, searching the Internet with the key words "water tanks" will provide more avenues for you to consider.
For first-flush devices:
- Brad Lancaster's website provides resources on where to buy and/or how to make a first-flush device.
For mulch:
- Free mulch is available in six locations across Los Angeles from the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation Mulch Program.
- Mulch by the cubic yard can be purchased from tree and soil farms such as American Soil Amendment Products and Nursery in Simi Valley, or Home Depot and other large home and garden stores.
- Tree pruning and landscape maintenance companies are another good source for mulch. Some companies will deliver for free to avoid a disposal fee at the landfill.
- Do not buy sawdust or wood shavings for mulch. These won't allow enough air into the soil.
- Wood or bark chips work best when they are between one and three inches in size. Pieces smaller than that smother the soil and do not allow oxygen to get into the soil. Larger pieces get kicked around or can cause tripping.
Permeable Pavement:
- PaverSearch Web site
- Soil Stabilization Products Co.
- City of Santa Monica's "Suggested List of Modular Permeable Paving Products"
- The County of Los Angeles holds composting workshops.
- The City of Los Angeles holds free composting workshops and bin sales.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

US Journalist: President al-Assad's Interview with ABC News Deliberately
Distorted, UN Human Rights Report on Syria Based on Alleged Interviews
Dec 16, 2011
OTTAWA, (SANA) - The U.S. journalist Tony Cartalucci criticized the
American ABC News' attempt to distort President Bashar al-Assad's
interview with Barbara Walters through deliberate omission in sensitive
parts to give a completely different impression than what President
al-Assad intended to give out.
In an article published by the global research website Cartalucci said
"Events taking place in Syria exposed the duplicity, discourtesy, and
intellectual depravity displayed by Barbra Walters who "saw pictures,"
read a fraudulent UN report written by authors with ties to US
corporate-financier interests, and listened to an Obama speech and
therefore is an expert on the premeditated, US-facilitated chaos sweeping
across parts of Syria."
He added that "And even as she sits in Syria's calm capital of Damascus,
invited in by al-Assad who has been accused of barring foreign reporters,
she still insists that Syria is in utter chaos, irrationally closing
itself off from the world, and with a population completely turned against
the Syrian government."
Cartalucci said that broadcasting the full interview later on helped
correcting the distortion, describing Walters' behavior as "disgraceful".
He pointed out to a number of facts to dispel the false premises that
Walters started from in its job, particularly the UN human rights report
on Syria which consisted of no evidence and was mainly based on interviews
of alleged witnesses produced by Syria's opposition in Geneva.
Cartalucci added "The report itself was compiled in part by Karen AbuZayd,
a Director of the US Washington-based corporate think-tank, Middle East
Policy Council, that includes Exxon men, CIA agents, US military and
government representatives, and even the president of the US-Qatar
Business Council, which includes amongst its membership, al-Jazeera,
Chevron, Exxon, munitions manufacturer Raytheon (who supplied the opening
salvos during NATO's operations against Libya).
"Violence amongst protests was confirmed and documented by even the
mainstream press as early as April 2011, where protesters committed arson
on public buildings including administrative centers and police stations.
Reports of snipers attacking protesters and troops simultaneously were
also reported. As early as June, hundreds of Syrian troops had already
been reported dead," said Cartalucci.
He stressed that what is taking place in Syria is funded by the NATO
Alliance which consists of "a very real terrorist threat".
Cartalucci referred to what has been reported by international media
confirming the presence of a Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (listed by the
US State Department as a terrorist organization) on the Turkey-Syrian
border preparing militants to fight the Syrian government with the
assistance of Turkey's government.
He said that the statements made by a number of the U.S. officials stress
that what is happening in Syria came in line with a decision taken by the
US since 1991 which aimed at cleaning up governments in the Middle East
that support Russia, namely Syria, Iran and Iraq before the rising of
another super power to challenge the Western domination.
"The unrest in Syria from the beginning was entirely backed by Western
corporate-financier interests and part of a long-planned agenda for
region-wide regime change , said Cartalucci, indicating to the covert
funding and support for opposition groups since Bush administration.
Cartalucci indicated to the cables released by the Washington Post which
revealed that the US has been funding Syrian opposition groups since at
least 2005 and continued until today.
He also underscored statements of Michael Posner, the assistant US
Secretary of State for Human Rights and Labor, on Washington organizing
training sessions for 5,000 activists including activists from Tunisia,
Egypt, Syria and Lebanon before they returned to their countries and
bergan to manifest themselves in the protests took place later on.

Windows 10 is on the way! | |
In September, Microsoft unveiled the 'technical preview' version of Windows 10. The 'technical preview' was made available for download and testing so IT groups could make sure the new version of Windows is compatible with other software. At Indiana State University, the OIT department has a Desktop Operating System Testing (DOST) team, consisting of 13 technical people, who have tested this early preview version of the software. The team has tested approximately 100 software packages using the 'technical preview' version on Windows machines (laptops - touchscreen and not – and desktops) and Mac's. We tested on some tablets, such as Yoga and Surface Pro 3. So far, no problems have been discovered. Many people are wondering why Microsoft 'skipped' Windows 9. It could be they wanted to distance themselves from Windows 8 and 8.1 by going to double digit numbers, but the truth is, we don't know. By creating media interest, with many publications and websites speculating why Windows 9 was skipped, Microsoft gets lots of extra attention. The next version of the 'technical preview' is rumored to be available for testing around January 21, 2015. Microsoft has scheduled a special event, titled 'The Next Chapter', on that date. The DOST team will download this version and test, just as we did the first version. OIT must ensure that installation of new versions of operating systems do not negatively impact the ISU user community. Once the Release to Manufacturer (RTM) version of Windows 10 is available (current estimate is the middle of 2015), the DOST team will expand to include some campus professionals, both Faculty and Staff. So, even when the RTM version is available, more testing will be needed to confirm that Students, Faculty and Staff can function without issue in the new Windows 10 environment. |
Acrobat Pro Now Available for All University Computers | |
Currently university owned equipment has Adobe Reader preinstalled which allows the viewing of pdf documents but not the creation or editing of this file type. While some units may have older versions of Acrobat Professional or alternative products such as CutePDF which provide similar abilities an all-in-one solution is now available. Thanks to a new license agreement, our university community has access to the most recent version of the PDF creation software from the company that invented the format. For those of you who wish to use make use of this software but may not have experience working with the product there are training videos available through Sycamore E-Learning in the ISU Portal. Adobe Acrobat Professional is now available for installation on ISU owned (and property tagged) Faculty and Staff computers. To install this software on your computer follow these instructions:
New OIT Support Phone Number | |
Effective Monday November 17th the OIT Support Number (x2910) will present callers with a selection of options to access all major customer-facing IT support services, rather than connecting only to our general support center. This change will allow our customers calling this number for support to be routed to the services they need directly (such as Blackboard or classroom support), rather than having to go through an intermediary. We believe this will allow customers to reach support resources more quickly in many cases. If you already reach those services by calling them directly, you will experience no impact. If you would like to provide feedback, please contact Lisa Spence at x9604. |

The Student´s Oath is of great importance for all Taekwon-Do practitioners. We pledge to work to build a better society where peace, freedom, and justice will prevail. This is the basic principle of Taekwon-Do.
We have good intentions, but we need to start by putting our own house in order. Each member of your ITF team firmly believes that by establishing a democratic process within our organization, we will be able to advance toward our goal of building a better society. This is why, as I have written repeatedly, the ITF must belong to its members, and work with and for its members. Even before I became President of the ITF two years ago, I had given a lot of thought to this fundamental principle and to how it could be applied in the ITF.
I believe that respect for the dignity and the rights of all individuals remember that courtesy is the first element in the tenets of Taekwon-Do is essential to reach these goals. This is why I chose to introduce democracy as a guiding principle for the governance of the ITF. Your ITF team has worked very hard to modernize the Constitution and to develop By-Law No. 1 . We have introduced a number of Policies that are consistent with the principles of democracy.
The concept of democracy is generally considered to be foreign to the martial arts, including Taekwon-Do, and is often misunderstood. Some individuals believe there is no place for democracy in Taekwon-Do. Some think they should be able to do whatever they want. This is why I have decided to focus on democracy in this message to you.
My goal is to provide the information you need to understand what democracy is all about and why the ITF has decided to rely on democratic principles to govern its organization and as a tool for solving internal problems. In order to do this successfully, we have a plan, a strategy, and a calendar to realize it. We are not simply improvising. We do not use the word "democracy" for meaningless propaganda. This is not just idle talk.
The ITF team is seriously committed to the development and implementation of democratic operations in the organization.
What is a democratic system?
A great deal has been written about democracy, and the history of democracy as a political system goes back very far in history.
"Sometime around [year] 1200 a group of mountain folk managed to
throw a wooden bridge across the Reuss River in the gorge where it
hurtles through the Alps. Before long the track filled with trains of
mules bearing goods from the plains of Italy north to Germany. Princes
began to notice the peasants and herdsmen who lived in the valleys along
the new trade route. What the princes saw was a form of governance so
bizarre as to seem unworkable, so unfamiliar that they scarcely knew
what to call it. Many since have called it democracy."
"Never at War Why Democracies Will Not Fight One Another"
by Spencer R. Weart, 1998, page 9.
The concept of democracy has become popular because it has led to an improvement in the quality of life for the citizens in the many countries where democratic governments have been introduced. This system tries to avoid arbitrary decisions and abuse of authority. It has been implemented as a political regime in many countries and as a system of governance in many organizations.
In a democratic system, the citizens or the members have the following rights:
However, democracy is not absolute or perfect. It has its limits. It is not permanent, and it must always be monitored. Unfortunately, the human tendency is often to seek power at the expense of others.
How does the democratic system work in the ITF and its affiliated organizations?
The ITF Context:
We did not invent democracy for Taekwon-Do:
ITF Taekwon-Do has always had the ultimate goal to build a better and more peaceful world where justice and freedom prevail (Charter and Philosophy of Taekwon-Do, p.12-13, p.88-89 of Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do, volume 1; Student´s Oath, p.170 of Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do, volume 2).
Our mission is to develop the ITF further, following in the footsteps of our late Founder General Choi Hong Hi.
In terms of values and objectives, Taekwon-Do has always had democratic beliefs. It is now up to us to implement them.
Therefore, from now on we must always make decisions based on the democratic principles of ITF Taekwon-Do, never acting according to our moods or emotions, and we must govern with respect for the rights and dignity of all people.
Master Tran teaching the Do
Is the democratic process compatible with the Way of the Master´´?
According to the traditions of the martial arts, the Way of the Master plays an essential role in education and teaching. The Master transmits the right values to the student.
Our organization needs to be well managed, with a structure that is synchronized with the interests of its members and the public. That structure should be based on democratic principles, while the teaching is done according to the "Way of the Master".
Mutual respect between the democratically-elected ITF leaders and the Grand Masters, Masters, and seniors, each in his respective role, will ensure harmony and allow for fruitful relations.
Many provisions in By-Law No. 1 were included precisely in order to favor balance in our organizations and to guarantee the respect of our traditional values, particularly the important relation between the Master and his students.
Over the last two years, I have also been working with competent resources to develop important projects that we will be implementing internationally in the near future. Such projects include a program and booklet about teaching the Do, a booklet on protocol in the Taekwon-Do, and a Code of Ethics. These projects will help to promote good relations among all ITF members and, in particular, the gratitude and loyalty the student owes to his Master.
What are the benefits of a democratic system for the ITF and his affiliated organizations?
Some examples of our realizations so far:
How many times have you been to a meeting that seemed like a waste of time?
Maybe too many people are trying to talk at the same time. Or perhaps you noticed that some participants are not able to get a word in edgewise. Sometimes a speaker wanders so far away from the topic on the agenda, that you forget what he was supposed to be talking about. And have you noticed that sometimes after a meeting the participants cannot agree on what was, or was not, decided?
To prevent such problems, the Board of Directors and the Chairs of the Standing Committees have adopted a motion whereby official ITF meetings (Board meetings, Congress meetings, etc.) are to be conducted using parliamentary rules based on the internationally-recognized Robert´s Rules of Order.
These rules provide processes through which an organization, large or small, can work out satisfactory solutions to the largest number of questions in the least amount of time, and do so in a way that is fair for everyone. They are tools designed to ensure efficient, effective, democratic meetings.
More importantly, applying these rules will help us to reach decisions more fairly, particularly concerning bitterly-contested issues.
Recently I have discussed with the chairs of the Technical & Instruction Committee, Master Hector Marano, and of the Tournament & Umpire Committee, Master Wim Bos, the necessity of introducing a consultation process. They fully agreed with me that the following procedures will be respected:
After the consultation process is completed, the analysis of the results of the consultation will be presented to the ITF Board of Directors, along with recommendations for changes when appropriate.
This will ensure a transparent process and will give concerned ITF members the opportunity to be heard.
I believe that the above explanations will help you to understand why I am a fervent promoter of democratic practices for the ITF.
I hope that you will also realize that, although we have made significant progress, "Rome was not built in one day!" Your ITF team will continue to work to improve our operations and to develop the ITF as a truly democratic international martial arts organization.
The key factor that will help us complete this noble mission is the support and participation of you, our ITF members.
In conclusion, I would like to quote the words spoken by President Abraham Lincoln on the battlefield of Gettysburg (Pennsylvania) on November 19th 1863, during the American Civil War, a war that was fought to promote democracy:
"It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, [ ] that the nation shall [ ] have a new birth of freedom, and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Sincerely yours,
Quebec City (Canada) - May 17th 2005
