My Husband Wants a Gun Even Though Our Son Is on Psychiatric Meds
By Christina Vercelletto for Parenting.com
Three weeks ago, I was printing out an Amazon receipt for a tennis racket. When I grabbed it from my home printer, there was another sheet underneath: A New York State gun license application. Signed by my husband.
My head was spinning, because although I was reading the words, it just didn't make sense.
The application asked whether he'd ever been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder. It didn't ask whether anyone else in his household had.
I texted him: "WTF gun license??? Have u lost ur friggin mind!??"
It took him a few minutes to reply, during which I stared at the phone, waiting to read something that explained the incomprehensible.
"Calm down are u going to let me talk??"
My hands were shaking. What was happening? John is the most un-macho man you can imagine. He doesn't follow a single professional sport, preferring instead "Restaurant Impossible" or "The Voice." At parties, he finds more to talk about with the women than the men. He trolls recipe websites, trying to improve his formula for vegetable soup or baked clams. He goes to Bible study every Thursday. He has never once in the 20 years I've known him mentioned a gun. The visual of him packing heat is absurd.
I finally typed: "hope u r prepared to shoot me, only way u r bringing into house"
Plus: Why Asperger's Didn't Cause the Sandy Hook School Shooting
Our 13-year-old son, Aden, takes two psychiatric meds for depression and anxiety. He has ADHD and Tourette's syndrome. Asperger's was suspected, then rejected. Nobody seems to be able to give us an exact diagnosis, but he has virtually no friends his age. On his recent birthday, he received four Facebook greetings, which in the world of FB may as well be a negative number. He hates school because he is picked on. He spends a lot of time in his room.
He is also fiercely focused and stunningly competent in visual-spatial relationship-based tasks, like building things. He can make something functional out of scraps around the house in 20 minutes -- like the alarm he made for his bedroom door -- and does so regularly. When he sets his mind to it, he can figure out how anything works. He's a whiz on the computer.
And like most boys his age, he plays shoot-and-kill video games.
After the tragedy at Newtown, my brain rested on the overt similarities between Aden and the shooter, but I pushed those thoughts down fast. Aden gets teary when those ASPCA commercials with abused animals come on. When he plays basketball, he always runs over to help up a fallen player (even an opponent). He was just named student of the month by his art teacher for his creativity with tempera paints. The prize was a pencil, which he showed off like it was made of platinum. He is my sweet Aden. Somehow, of course, that makes him different from Adam Lanza.
Finding that application sent me reeling. I decided to just pretend it never happened. Surely, my opinion on the issue was more than clear, and John wouldn't push it.
Plus: The Secret Adam Lanza And I Shared
A few days later, John and I were driving to a family party. Aden was in the backseat with his iPad. "Mom, I just shot and killed 9 guys!"
"REALLY? Faaabulous," I said, as sarcastically as I have ever said anything in my life.
I felt dizzy when John said, "I should take you to the shooting range and teach you how to properly shoot. You'd love it."
That night, we had it out. It was heated, and, thus, brief. This was the whole of it, more or less:
A gun in the house of a mentally-disturbed teenage boy?
He'll learn how to use it right.
How do we know what he's thinking? How can we REALLY ever know?
We'll keep it locked up, unloaded.
When he wants to figure something out, he does.
The world is changing. It's my right. You've heard about those home invasions.
If it's so damn secure, how will you get to it fast enough for a home invader?
We have to be smart these days, and prepared to defend ourselves.
Remember that day last year when were switching his meds, and he tried to jump out of the moving car?
Whether regular people have guns or not, the criminals will!
A criminal didn't kill those kids in Newtown. A criminal didn't do the shooting in Columbine. A criminal didn't go into the movie theatre in Colorado. These tragedies are being caused by mentally ill young males -- regular people until that fatal moment -- with access to guns!
In our house, there will be rules about gun safety, and the rules will be followed, and it will be fine.
When I told him he could get killed trying to jump out of the car, he said I DON'T CARE.
With that, I dissolved completely.
It hasn't been brought up since. Mostly because John has only been on and off speaking to me, hurt that I can't respect his opinions enough to calmly and fully discuss it. He also mentioned my lack of confidence in him as a caring, responsible dad.
I've been trying not to think about it, but (obviously) failing. Am I wrong to have shut my husband down? He usually makes good decisions. He's a smart guy, and I know he loves Aden as much as I do. I have a hard time believing he'd do anything he thought could hurt him.
Somebody please tell me what do. I'll be damned if I know.
This article made my jaw drop. A photo of their child accompanied it (i presume, though it could have been a stock photo, I don't know for sure). The authors name was there.
Texts between husband and wife. A beseeching plea to the public to settle a very private decision. What do you think?
Is nothing sacred? Is this child's "issues" spilled for Mom's "hits" on the internet? Is this marriage spilled all over the internet?
ETA: I realized my question was biased. Is this Mom highlighting important social issues and being "brave", or bringing a private or "real" face to the "who wants a gun" issue?
What do you think?

I do not believe in spelling out things like this on the web for all to see. It is disrespectful for the husband and the son. I have a 13 year old and she would DIE if she found out I was talking about anything even remotely having to do with her (she may even be offended that I said I have a 13 year old, who knows these days with her)
I also do not think people outside of my marriage would be able to solve an issue like this, especially if they are only hearing one side of the story
Molly, Morgan, Mia and Carson
I think this is a very common debate that is going on in many homes across America today. It is a huge heated debate. I will say that DH and I have had some really big arguments on this situation (On whether or not to buy a gun). That said, she should not have posted publicly about her son's mental health.
I also agree with this. It did not help her situation any to publicly bring her DH down. I can understand needing to talk things out in your mind. A website like this where no one really knows you is a great place to do that. Publicly where people who know you IRL is not.
I do not agree with the manner she took. Airing your dirty laundry and throwing your son's mental illness out there without his consent bothers me.
However, I don't necessarily think his diagnoses mean anything about having a gun in the house (yes this is coming from anti-gun Jess lol). I have a family member with Tourette's and I would not worry about him owning a gun if he chose to.
I know there is probably more to it, at least I hope there is. Just that I don't particularly see the worry of having a gun in the house based on his particular issues. Unless she doesn't want a gun in the house at all which could be the reason but she shouldn't put that on her son.
well I will say it was enlightening in some ways for me as a reader. Made me realize that people in these situations often feel there is no harm in having guns easily accessible by the mentally ill. And when you love someone and can obviously see the positives about that individual, its hard to convince yourself they could ever be a danger to someone else. All good food for thought on why guns land in the hands of the mentally ill so often. Even if the boy in this story would never do anything, it doesn't mean someone else is having the same thought process and they're wrong.
So i appreciate thinking about it in that light.
Now that I've said all that, i'd never be caught dead sharing all of that with the entire internet.
She made her life fairly public, though I have seen lots worse. Maybe she wrote anonymously or under fictious names.
I think she should probably do more for her son. I am sure their lives are not easy. I just think she has gotten some bad opionions on her son's issues, but obviously she shared limited specific info.
I feel like she shared what may be going on in lots of households: battle to figure out what to do. I dont hold that against her. Often in magazines and sites, we do read personal stories written to share and sometimes looking for outside views. I cannot see why the shock exists. There is so much tmi out there that this does not begin to drop my jaw.
I think her sharing is beneficial and eye opening. However I do not ageee with all of either of their feelings on the matter or their other issues.

I think that its awful. I don't think that it made me enlightened in any way, or brought any thoughtfulness to the conversation around either mental illness or gun control. All it really made me think is, that poor kid, and that poor marriage.
I truly don't understand how people justify selling out their family, either to reality TV or this new wave of mommy blogging or "dirty laundry here is what goes on in the privacy of my relationship/marriage/everythoughtthatenters my head journalism". I just don't get it. I can't imaging having to read about my childhood, my mothers eye rolls, my parents death threats, their secrecy, my (theoretical) mental illness etc as an adolescent or as an adult. Its horrifying to me.
While you didn't get anything out of it, can you see why others might have? I mean we easily say all the time how guns shouldn't be in the hands of the mentally ill and it seems so obvious that we have to do something about it. But when you don't have someone in your life that is mentally ill, i think this article shows how sometimes its not as obvious. I think people want to believe that their own loved one is different, or that you have the ability to prevent it instead of saying "its too dangerous, too much of a gamble"
especially because its true, not everyone who is mentally ill is going to turn into a mass murderer, most don't, so i would imagine some people cling to the idea that their own loved one is in that category.
I'm not using this to justify doing it. I just found it interesting how quickly you wrote it off as not enlightening.

Oscar-winning actor and comic Robin Williams died Monday at 63 of an apparent suicide, the Marin County Sheriff's Department confirmed.
Around 11:55 a.m. Monday, sheriff's officials said, a 911 call came in about a man who was unresponsive in his home in Tiburon. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Dubbed "the funniest man alive" by Entertainment Weekly in 1997, Williams brought audiences hours of laughter, putting his imaginative spin on characters in film and television. He was lauded for his serious roles as well, winning a best supporting actor Oscar for his performance as Sean Maguire, the therapist who counsels Matt Damon's math genius in "Good Will Hunting" (1997), and receiving nominations for "The Fisher King" (1991), "Dead Poets Society" (1989) and "Good Morning, Vietnam" (1987).
Born in Chicago in 1951, Williams became one of only two students accepted into John Houseman's prestigious acting program at Julliard, the other being Christopher Reeve, who became a lifelong friend.
Williams gained fame as Mork, the bizarre, suspenders-sporting alien on the sitcom "Mork & Mindy," a spinoff from "Happy Days." Williams departed from the script so often that producers intentionally left blank moments on page for Williams to have space to indulge his ad-libbing genius.

Re:Those aren't honey bees, they're yellow jackets (200 comments)
Yellow jackets are protein eaters (other bugs, roadkill). They don't make honey. In the late summer / early fall they lose their normal food sources and they start going after carbohydrates -- sugary soda and pretty much anything on the picnic table.
They're also super aggressive at that time of year and can sting repeatedly. Which is why I hang a yellow jacket trap to kill as many as possible. 10 in the last day!
I can attest to yellow jackets and the similar colored paper wasp being annoying, but I think they pollinate plants as well, thought not nearly as much as bees...

It seems that it would be a better idea to willfully accept and clandestinely record communication coming from countries hostile to the United State's interest; now it's not RIGHT, but that would still be the most logical process of dealing with and controlling an entity you believed hostile, right? Hm.....seeing as how VPNs are awfully well known as a way around this type of geological restriction, what if you were to simply sniff traffic on those? Cut off the citizens who are technically inept and cannot find a way around the ban, and then force the majority of those who do know of a way around it to an alternative which you control. Hell maybe not, I don't know. It just seems odd to me that our government would pass up a golden opportunity like this to spy on hostile nations.

I'm sure you can all invent miraculous ways to prevent crime and straighten out the nations criminals, but try walking a mile in someone else's shoes before you make these suggestions. I spent about a year traveling between prisons and spending most of my time in a prison boot-camp system, and would find it hard pressed to implement various ideas some of you speak of. While I can agree that video games are not really needed in the prison (we had none, nor individual TVs for that matter), forcing someone to spend their waking life reading is a poor option. There were enough frustration problems there already.

hope they don't decide to charge me 9 days after i placed the order.
they certainly have a nice "dream" selection of seeds. hope no one is ill or something. if they are, sorry to be a pain. hope all gets better.

St. George's Absinthe Verte is 120 proof and is a lovely, darkish yellow in hue. The hue changes to an emerald green, immediately following the secondary infusion. However, by the time the absinthe is bottled, sent out and exposed to light, the color changes to this darkish yellow.
Your illustrious Pop Culture Examiner sipped it neat, following a brief sniff. We had not done our homework before this initial taste. We didn't know that absinthe tastes like anise, which tastes like black licorice. The brandy is barely discernible.
If it were possible to create an absinthe which tastes like red licorice, then, we would be a more exuberant participant. Since this is not the case, we didn't one-up the experience by dropping an ice cube into our glass.
This would have brought out another level of flavors, which are described as vivid. It also gives the drink a pretty louche, which is a milky cloudiness. Sounds enchanting!
To find a retailer, simply Google your request. We found the 200 ml bottle for $18.99 at this link.

I live in NYC and am a terrace gardener. I love to grow petunias, particularly trailing ones as they can be seen from the street from my 4th floor terrace. My petunias for years have been plagued by caterpillar damage. As many others have suggested on this forum, I use BT (Bacillus thuringiensis), which works very well, but the caterpillars always come back, every season, with the damage usually apparently beginning in early July. I have to spray the BT the rest of the summer, and it is a hassle, not to mention the awful smell. Not sure what type of caterpillar they are; they are green and, before I learned about BT, they used to get pretty big and fat. If I spray a lot, they must die off, but are seemingly continually replaced by new ones, so the ones I see these are generally smaller and skinnier. I've talked to lots of people here and very few of those who grow petunias have this problem. I see healthy petunias all over the city in window boxes and I find it VERY hard to believe all these city folks are diligently spraying their flowers! So I can only conclude that this is not a widespread problem that everyone has; however, I wonder if, once you get them, these annoying little guys lay eggs that can survive the winter and just keep coming back. I once tried changing out all of the soil, but it didn't help (it's possible I wasn't diligent enough in getting rid of all the old soil). This year, I did not grow petunias. I have only now, almost mid-August, begun to see caterpillar damage, on geraniums, and it is very, very minor. I think geraniums are not really their thing; sticky petunias are like fuel for them. So I am pleased but would love to get back to growing petunias next summer. Does this theory make any sense at all? Can the eggs survive the winter? Multiple winters? How do I get rid of this problem for good? The fact that so many people are not experiencing this encourages me that is it is possible. Thanks for any help you can provide! |
Follow-Up Postings:
The problem *is* widespread. We have it here every year. If you don't want to spray, you'll need to regularly search your plants for the moth's eggs and new hatchlings. When you find them, either squish or flick into soapy water. |
Very common pests of petunias are the Petunia or Tobacco (Geranium) Budworms and one means of control for these is Bacillus thuringiensis - Kurstaki. I have used several brands of BtK and have not had any that had an odor so you may want to look around for another brand. There are several. Neem Oil products, possibly Spinosad, maybe a pyrethrin may also help. Systemics are not a good choice since they are linked to the death of pollinators. |
I use Bonide. I'll try another one. Thanks. |

Cleaners equipped with smudge-eradicating suds and dust-hungry vacuums move in next, targeting grime and fingerprint mosaics with a full-service wash and hand dry, vacuuming interiors, and applying Rain-X and triple-foam protectants for extra defense against the elements. An application of rust inhibitor protects metallic veneers from corrosion, and a coating of Bugg Off affords rides a layer of defense against clingy insects and children wearing trendy magnetic vests.

Windshield chip and crack repairs prevent auto glass from further fractures, which can negatively impact driving visibility and may even result in more expensive restorations, full-on replacements, or a permanently shattered worldview. Opting to have the spider-web-like splinters and nicks in auto glass mended instead of replaced also keeps nonrecyclable windshields from piling up in landfills and allows windscreens to retain their original factory seals, ensuring passenger safety.

The Blender guys have their own motives. Ton obviously gets on with his

just down the road from each other. Blender runs on all platforms. They
make no claims to support Linux. In fact the majority of Blender users are

How many m$ and mac users are using their software to study the radio

How many people do you think actually own MOTU Devices? They target
professional industry not consumer hobbyists. 4000 professional
installations would be a reasonable share of the global market for their
products in the AV production industry. Nothing to be sniffed at. MOTU is
not Behringer. They target high end users not the entire mass market.
if each device brings in $1000 profit that is $4million in profit. Again
nothing to be ashamed of. What is Motu's market capital anyway? Do they
make more than $10 million a year in profit?
Lets say a company is aiming for $1 million in profit at $100 per sale.
That requires 10,000 users. Going by your stats above that means just by
targeting the market for firewire devices on Linux (a fraction of the
actual market base) they can potentially get to $400,000 in profit.
>> They also loose out on the association with Linux as a high end solution
Lets read the numbers again and see if that is really such a small market.
A market with very little promotion and a small core of dedicated
individuals and businesses that have taken it this far already. A market
with an expanding community and burgeoning global awareness. A market
that can be built on a platform of the highest quality tools and software.
A market with a lot of room for growth. A platform that has been embraced
by the Film, Gaming, Scientific and Research industries.
What makes the Audio industry so special that it can ignore the direction
that other industries are moving?

I was looking at using mapguide to server maps (stree and land maps with buil;dings etc..) tover the internet then I discovered that the Digitising and Editing of features\vectors using MapGuide wasnt great. Jorge suggested I use topobase for the editing etc.. and mapguide for the serving of the maps.
Are there many out there using this setup? Does it work and whats the performance like?
I used TB+MG in some projects.
If your users dont need TB Web functionality its a reasonable way to publish map for navigation with MGE.
Alexander Shatohin
Alexander thanks for th ereply.
What do you mean if youre users dont need TB web functionality?
In our setup we would like to server maps over th einternet and have 2 types of users:
1. Public users who can only view maps, layers etc.. (this can be done out of the box with Autodesk MapGuide)
2. Private users who can view AND Edit\digitise maps - they will be allowed to add shapes and edit existing shapes on specific layer on a map. MapGuide dosnt really offer me a good solution for editing polygons\shappes etc..
I'm thinking TB allows me to Edit\digitise maps as in the Private users functionality.
Am I correct here?
You are absolutely right.
Public users view map that published by MGE.
Private users edit attributes/geometry (that I meant as TB Web functionality) with TB Web.
My company has been using a combination of Topobase, TBWeb and Mapguide Enterprise for about three years with very positive results. We are a gas utility so the service crews, line spotters, marketing, CRM etc use the Mapguide application for locating the information that they need. TBWeb is used for outage/emergency information and by our survey crew to supply us with correction information as they find errors. We also have Mapguide set to be able to create markups if they are necessary.

If you are familiar with bald cypress it will be near identical. That is, the small needles and cones disappear into your grass in the fall. Even if you keep it like a golf course one mowing will grind them up. The cones are dime sized so they are a non issue as well. I do not see how any tree could be less messy. Biggest decision is to limb it up for a straight trunk or leave it natural with the buttressed trunk. |

I am concerned that the redwoods might secrete resin or stuff that will stain the clothes hung to dry. ===>>> technically it is NOT a redwood ... its Metasequoia glyptostroboides .... so if your info is based on research about redwoods.. then you need to use the latin for more precise information ... ken |

I'd be more concerned about the birds that hang out in the dawn redwood (or plain old redwood, for that matter), as far as your laundry is concerned. |
- Posted by gardener365 IL 5/6 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 10, 12 at 10:41
No sap mess. Dax |
Ken, I agree the full name is needed to be clear but it IS a redwood. The three redwood subfamily genera are: Sequoia and Sequoiadendron of California and Oregon, USA; and Metasequoia in China. |
It is NOT a messy tree. It's my partner's fav tree, awesomely lovely in the landscape and nowhere the 'needle' persistance on the ground as that under white pine. It does just disappear into the turf. |
We have a dawn redwood and unfortunately, I have to disagree with tornado. While this tree is beautiful, it is extremely messy. Ours is quite large and was planted too close to the house. The needles dispersed in the fall are everywhere. They cover the driveway, the walkway, the deck. Get tracked into the house, cars, homes we visit. Its pretty bad. We constantly sweep, vacuum and clean but it a losing battle until at the least the first heavy snow. Then we get some reprieve until it melts etc. Spring is a real sloppy mess. They get caught in the cracks of the deck, mix with dirt and form a barrier that keeps the water from draining. Sweeping the deck can make it worse because it pushes the needles into the cracks. We clean regularly with a power washer and a spackle knife (pushing the needle paste down under the deck) but the moisture that sits on the deck from lack of draining is ruining the wood. The cones....hurt. Even in shoes, they hurt to walk on. There is no sneaking into our driveway during the fall. Sometimes I swear I'm going to pop a tire. But at least the cones are easier to clean. The needles are impossible. I'll rake leaves all fall long without complaint, but cleaning up after this tree is impossible. Again, don't get me wrong. This tree is gorgeous and from May - September, I love it. I love the redwood and its beautiful view but it is by far the messiest of the 10-12 trees on our property. The butternut tree coming in a very, very close 2nd (nuts nuts everywhere). Plant it far from your actual living space. Where you can enjoy watching it shoot up 3' a year. Where you don't have to really clean up after it on a regular basis. That is where this beautiful tree belongs. |
ours are still young, less than 20' tall, but they are not a mess at all. They are not close to a deck or anything I have to sweep. They needles are small and fine, and I could see where they would be a pain to sweep, but they EASILY mulch into grass. |
- Posted by toronado3800 Z6 St. Louis (My Page) on Wed, Sep 4, 13 at 3:01
jagirl, I think I can appreciate how the needles could get into tight spots and gutter guards could be an issue. I like your phrase "too close to the house". I will amend my statement to say out in the yard mine is no trouble. I had three white ash overhanging the house when I moved it. Funny how the seeds of the one out in the yard never get noticed but I made a frown at the ones falling into my gutters! There is also a virtual thicket of walnuts in my back yard so my mower gets to shoot some nuts at the shed. Black walnut, now there is a tree not to be planted along the streets! |
- Posted by drpraetorius 7 (My Page) on Sun, Sep 8, 13 at 18:22
The Dawn Redwood is in general an admirable and beautiful choice. Give it the room it will eventually need an there will be no problems. The dropped needles have never been a problem with my tree. However, the do self prune smaller branches. You will sometimes see half inch or smaller diameter branches under the tree. These have been naturally dropped by the tree and not a sign of stress etc. Just pick them up and dispose as you see fit. They will not hurt if the fall on your head. In the right place, this tree will give, literally, hundreds of years of pleasure and they grow fast enough that you will be able to enjoy as well. |

Can anyone help me to understand in which direction to knit when working in the round with 2 circular needles? This is what has me stumped.
In this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RybPvCNfrT8 ,
I've followed both set of directions and both work. I've managed to get through a few projects using one method or the other. My brain just can't find the rhyme or reason. I'm hoping one of you can help me figure this out. I'd be much happier if there was one standard rule of how to. Right now I'm just puzzled. |

While I have seen it done with moving (or even exchanging) one stitch to the other needle, I have never seen the actual knitting done the way Cat shows in her video. I LIKE IT! The second video you posted is the way I have seen it done. But with Cat's way there is not length of yarn stretched between the two tips when you get to the end of the first row, which is usually what I end up with. Of course, it all works out fine after a couple of rows, but I definitely am going to use Cat's way next time. In short, I don't either way is wrong or right. They both work fine, and it is strictly a matter of preference and what you are comfortable with. |
- Posted by calicokitty (My Page) on Sun, Feb 8, 09 at 20:17
Thanks for your answer, Donna. It was you who first told me about knitting on 2 circulars last fall when I asked about the London beanie. I started off using Cat's method. Then later tried the other. Still not sure which I prefer, but am glad to know there's no right or wrong. |

Do you think that a woman will ever be elected as president of the United States?
Given the changing times and more educated women in our society, do you feel that a woman will ever be elected as the president of the United States?
Relevant polls
While there are a few formidable opponents to Obama, do you believe he will win a second term in office?
Ron Paul has been running for election for many years, but he never seems to receive the same amount of publicity as the other candidates do. What is your take on this?
Many people have long believed the United States to be the worlds super power, but does this statement still hold true? Given the large amount of casualties in the war in Iran, it is scary to ponder why could happen if we went to war with a country like China. Do you feel the United States army is still capable of defeating any other country in a war?
As you may know the United States constantly employes the use of tools such as satellite imaging and spy drones to gather intelligence on other nations nuclear weapons capabilities. Do you feel we should be keeping an eye on these countries or investing our resources elsewhere?
Simple question, two answers. Will Republican Party regain the throne or will Democrats defend it?

Patrol thinks it can save $12M on new radio system
The Washington State Patrol thinks it can replace its radio system for $12 million less than expected under a plan that would sidestep the competitive bidding process.
The Associated Press
The Washington State Patrol thinks it can replace its radio system for $12 million less than expected under a plan that would sidestep the competitive bidding process.
Competitors have complained, but the patrol is expected to sign a no-bid contract with Motorola Solutions as early as Monday, The News Tribune ( http://is.gd/mIO4Bq) reported in Sunday's newspaper.
Officials say a partnership with the federal government lowers the cost of the technology upgrade to 41 million. But only Motorola makes equipment that is compatible with the federal Department of Justice radio system.
"It's an opportunity we can't pass up that saves us a lot of money and gets us where we need to be," said Bob Schwent, commander of the patrol's electronic services division.
The upgrade of equipment, some of which dates back to 1982, is part of an overhaul aimed at complying with a Federal Communications Commission mandate to free up space on the radio spectrum for more users. The federal government has set a deadline of Jan. 1, 2013 for the upgrades.
The new radios also are expected to make it easier for troopers to talk to other law enforcement officers and firefighters.
Schwent said his agency had done 90 percent of the work of going out to bid by September when the Department of Justice invited the patrol to join their system rather than build its own.
The state had already connected radios along the northern border to the DOJ system for last year's Vancouver Olympics. That could make the changeover faster and cheaper, Schwent said.
But other companies, including Florida-based Harris Corp., complained to the patrol that they didn't have a chance to bid, Schwent said.
One critic is Nick Ruark, the general manager of Quality MobileCommunications, a reseller of radio systems. Ruark said his Vancouver company is too small to hope to take part in the project, but that the deal struck him as a bad idea.
"The fact that the state can save some money is one thing, and that's a good thing," Ruark said. But a competitor might one day design a cheaper or better system, he said. "Seems to me that sole-sourcing, it essentially locks them into that one vendor and they're not going to have any options in the future."
State lawmakers also questioned the sole-source contract at a Thursday briefing. But Sen. Curtis King, R-Yakima, said afterward he was satisfied with the answers.
"It sounded to me like they had done their due diligence to make sure it was a fair process, so to speak," he said.

Best Disney World Money-Saving Tips
Courtesy of The Walt Disney Company
Buy the Disney Dining Plan
The Tip: If you can stomach eating from fast-food counters, the quick-service dining plan gets you two full meals and one snack a day.
The Trade-off: It pays off only for big eaters who never skip a meal. Plus, if you prepay all your meals with a Disney Dining Plan, you'll be less likely to strike out into Orlando to try anything else, which is a shame when you consider that Orlando has one of America's most vibrant districts for Vietnamese cuisine.

Fourth Quarter 2012 Revenue Highlights
Revenues for the quarter were $81.4 million, a $12.3 million increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. The revenue increase was due to increased pipeline shipments, revenues attributable to our July 2012 and November 2011 acquisitions, the effect of annual tariff increases and an increase of $2.1 million in previously deferred revenue realized under our guaranteed shipping contracts, partially offset by the crude oil pipeline settlement of $5.5 million with HollyFrontier in the fourth quarter of 2011. Overall pipeline volumes were up 1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2011.
- Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $30.6 million, an increase of $6.7 million primarily due to increased refined pipeline shipments, revenues attributable to UNEV, annual tariff increases and an increase of $1.8 million in previously deferred revenue realized. Shipments averaged 182.3 thousand barrels per day ("mbpd") compared to 163.5 mbpd for the fourth quarter of 2011 .
- Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $7.5 million, an increase of $1.2 million primarily due to increased shipments on our intermediate lines serving the Navajo refinery and an increase of $0.3 million in previously deferred revenue realized. Shipments averaged 115.8 mbpd compared to 128.4 mbpd for the fourth quarter of 2011. The overall volume decrease was attributable to a scheduled refinery turnaround that reduced volumes on our Tulsa interconnect pipelines.
- Revenues from our crude pipelines were $12.0 million, a decrease of $5.2 million, on shipments averaging 174.4 mbpd compared to 174.2 mbpd for the fourth quarter of 2011. Revenues in 2011 included $5.5 million attributable to a crude oil pipeline settlement with HollyFrontier in October 2011.
- Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $31.3 million, an increase of $9.7 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. This includes $7.2 million of increased throughput revenues attributable to our assets acquired in November 2011 that serve HollyFrontier's El Dorado and Cheyenne refineries. Refined products terminalled in our facilities increased to an average of 343.3 mbpd compared to 300.8 mbpd for the fourth quarter of 2011.
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2012 include the recognition of $4.6 million of prior shortfalls billed to shippers in 2011 and 2012. As of December 31, 2012, deferred revenue in our consolidated balance sheet was $7.8 million. Such deferred revenue will be recognized in earnings either as payment for shipments in excess of guaranteed levels, if and to the extent the pipeline system will not have the necessary capacity for shipments in excess of guaranteed levels, or when shipping rights expire unused over the contractual make-up period.

Wednesday, April 13
Wells Fargo Center
Attendance: 13,760
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Rodney Stuckey equaled a season-best with 29 points and drained the go-ahead jumper with under two minutes remaining, as Detroit closed out its year with a 104-100 win over the playoff-bound Philadelphia 76ers.
Greg Monroe chipped in 10 points and 13 rebounds for the Pistons (30-52), who missed the postseason for a second consecutive year. Tayshaun Prince tallied 14 points in the win, Detroit's fourth in five games to conclude the season.
"I know we've won four of the last five and guys played hard," Pistons coach John Kuester said. "I'm proud of them. It's pretty neat when you can say you won your last game and all. That's important. I just wish we were in the playoffs."
Jrue Holiday scored 21 to go with seven assists for the Sixers, who are seeded seventh in the Eastern Conference and will open the playoffs in Miami on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. (et). The Heat, with their big three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, claimed the Southeast Division title and swept the Sixers in three games this season.
Philadelphia captured its third playoff berth in four years under first-year head coach Doug Collins, but lost five of its final six games. The Sixers (41-41) also lost a chance to secure their first season above .500 since going 43-39 in 2004-05. The team did by improve by 14 wins over last season, however.
The Sixers didn't play the final two games with Andre Iguodala (right knee tendinitis), and Lou Williams continues to be sidelined with a strained right hamstring.
"Those injuries put a damper on what we did this year," Collins said.
Holiday had 12 of his points in the final quarter, a period in which the Sixers rallied from a nine-point deficit. Evan Turner's jumper with 5:09 left tied the game at 95, and then Holiday's bucket gave the Sixers the lead. That capped a 16-5 run, but the Pistons had an answer.
Ben Gordon hit a step-back jump shot with 3:17 to go, and after a Spencer Hawes offensive foul, Stuckey made the go-ahead shot from the left baseline with 1:49 remaining.
The Pistons were fortunate after misses by Turner and Hawes. Austin Daye then drove the lane and his floater over Hawes provided a 101-97 cushion with 31.1 seconds left.
The Sixers eventually closed within 102-100 on a Holiday three-pointer with under 12 seconds left, but Stuckey made a foul shot. Jason Kapono then missed a potential tying three-ball from the right corner, and Monroe's free throw with 0.4 seconds left sealed the outcome.
The Pistons shot 61 percent in the first quarter to hold a 29-24 lead, but the Sixers came back in the second courtesy of Thaddeus Young's 11 points to grab a 56-52 edge at the break.
Despite trailing at the half, the Pistons committed four personal fouls in the first 24 minutes, tying a record at the Wells Fargo Center for any half.
The Sixers tanked in the third, going 5-of-21 from the field to trail 83-77 going to the fourth.

Living veg is wonderful, that is assuming you live alone or live in a veg-friendly home. Outside the four walls of your cruelty-free sanctuary can often be tough to navigate. This journey might feel daunting and lonely. People will question you and your choices and you may wonder if it's all worth it. Stay strong and have faith in yourself and your beliefs. You will come up against a lot of questioning, teasing and sometimes just plain rudeness. I look at this as an opportunity to engage and educate. In my experience I've found the people around me extremely receptive to my life choice and I think people are more open than we give them credit for.
For example, at a work picnic, a very thoughtful co-worker made potato salad and brought a little bowl of vegan potato salad for the veg folk in the group. My dear friend Natalie went well out of her way to ensure I would have something to eat for dinner at her upcoming wedding reception. For every jerk that asks you "would you eat pork chops for a million dollars," there are really amazing and considerate people in the world.
Continuing the Going Vegan blog series, this post will answer the common diet-related questions you may encounter as a vegan and will provide you with more information about this lifestyle.
Invest in a few great cookbooks, this will help you with meal planning and grocery shopping. My favourites include: The Oh She Glows Cookbook by Angela Liddon, Veganomicon by Isa Chandra Moskowitz, the Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone, UnDiet by Meghan Telpner and reFresh by Ruth Tal.
Vegan / vegetarian blogs (ahem…) will be your new best friends for support and amazing recipes. Here are some fabulous ones: Oh She Glows, Happy Herbivore, Vegan Culinary Crusade, Fat-Free Vegan Kitchen, Cupcakes and Kale and A Dash of Compassion.
Consider taking a vegetarian cooking class. If you live in Toronto check out: Marni Wasserman, Meghan Telpner, Arvinda's and Live Nutrition. The Big Carrot and Loblaw's also offer vegetarian workshops.
When I first went veg I consumed a lot of faux meat products. Slowly, I became more comfortable in the kitchen and before you know it, I was in school for Holistic Nutrition. A great way to get people on-board the vegan train is through food, often dessert. You will hear "this doesn't taste vegan" a lot. You just have to roll with it.
Breakfasts may include oatmeal, organic cereals and smoothies. Snacks could be hummus and veggies, trail mix with nuts, seeds, raisins and shredded coconut or simply a piece of fruit such as a banana or apple. Dinner is just like any other dinner…without the meat, dairy and eggs. Salads, rice and beans, steamed veggies, stir-frys, stews, soups. The possibilities are endless as long as you keep an open mind. Some fun treats that you can purchase at health food stores and select grocery stores include kale chips, raw macaroons, coconut ice cream, vegan pizza and more!
The most common question vegans are asked is "where do you get your protein?" Meat has protein, yes. But so do plants, nuts, seeds, beans and legumes. The difference between the two lies within the amino acid profile. Amino acids are the building blocks that make up protein molecules. The human body can produce all but nine of the 22 amino acids we need. These nine "essential amino acids" must be obtained through food. Once consumed, proteins breakdown in the body to their various amino acid components and then build new protein molecules. Animal protein is considered to be a complete protein, meaning it contain all essential amino acids whereas protein from plants typically do not. Animal protein is more similar in structure to ours and therefore is easily used by the body.
However, having a whole food plant-based diet that is full of variety can ensure you are receiving all the amino acids you need.
Some great plant-based protein sources are: spirulina (a blue-green fresh-water algae available at health food stores in liquid and capsule form), quinoa, hemp seeds, chia, buckwheat and kale. There are some high quality protein sources available including Vega and Sunwarrior.
There is without a doubt a veganized version of everything – from nuggets, ground "meat," milk, ice cream, pizza and butter. Unfortunately, many of these are options are junk and really not healthy. There is a term, "junk food vegan" which describes people who live a vegan lifestyle but not in a balanced and healthy way. The thought is, if it's vegan, it's ok to eat.
That is not necessarily true. While it's ok to get caught up in being able to have 'regular' food that you can eat, these vegan substitutes should be consumed in limited quantities. Too much processed food, sugar and soy is no good for our health. We are far better off with well-rounded diet that includes fresh vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, whole grains and superfoods.
While the vegan diet is a large component of the lifestyle, there are many other factors that go into living vegan. Stay tuned for more posts!
"Just how destructive does a culinary preference have to be before we decide to eat something else? If contributing to the suffering of billions of animals that live miserable lives and (quite often) die in horrific ways isn't motivating, what would be? If being the number one contributor to the most serious threat facing the planet (global warming) isn't enough, what is? And if you are tempted to put off these questions of conscience, to say not now, then when?" – Jonathan Safran Foer, Eating Animals

Occupy Wall Street Joins Occupy The Dream: Is It Cooptation, or Growing the Movement?
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
The Occupy Wall Street movement has, to date, "been effective in warding off cooptation by Democratic Party fronts such as Rebuild The Dream and MoveOn.org." But OWS's recent alliance with Black clergy-based (and Russell Simmons-backed) Occupy The Dream raises serious questions in this election year. "It appears that Occupy Wall Street's new Black affiliate is also in 'lock-step' with the corporate Democrat in the White House."

EPCSO: Desert Drinking Parties Are A Problem
POSTED: Friday, April 13, 2012 - 8:48pm
UPDATED: Monday, October 6, 2014 - 7:47am
EL PASO — An El Paso teen is charged with assaulting officers with a deadly weapon after deputies discovered an underage drinking party in Horizon City.
The Sheriff's Office says 19-year-old Aaron Rosas hit two officers with his car while he was trying to get away.
One of the officers shot at the suspect, hit him and sent him to the hospital.
The sheriff's office says this type of party becomes more common when the weather gets warmer and kids have time on their hands.
Eddie Campa with The El Paso County Sheriff's Office says he's heard a lot of excuses from underage drinkers when officers crash their desert parties.
Campa says parents need to keep a close eye on their children.
"It serves as a reminder of the community we are going to be out there addressing the issue, and the community does need to pay a little closer attention to what their kids are out there doing," said Campa.
When officers tell parents their child is caught at a drinking party, they often get a shocked reaction.
"You'll have some parents who will be like 'you told me you were staying at Grandma's house and how did you get out of Grandma's house? "
New equipment is helping the sheriff's office navigate through the desert so they can stop these illegal parties.
Campa says because El Paso has a high DWI rate, it's important to prevent underage drinkers from getting behind the wheel.
"First of all you, have under aged kids in the dessert area, who probably don't have permission to be there in the first place. They are probably on private property. They are intoxicated. They have a vehicle. They get out onto the public roadway and cause an accident, and end up killing someone," said Campa.
The El Paso Sheriff's Office also says they use grant money to send officers into the dessert on a weekly basis to stop drinking parties.
