that's right, 359 minutes of shopping is what you have done in the Ener Hax freebies on Kitely since it opened on november 11th. one minute shy of six hours! dang! =)
there are not many things in the store but i hope some are useful
for many people reading this blog, it's the first time you've been in a world i made. you've been able to judge me by what i write here, the freebies online, and Sim-on-a-Stick but most of you did'nt know me when i had the SL estate and only a few of you have been to Enclave Harbour. it may seem funny, but i get nervous putting things out there – many of you are far more talented and build incredible things
i do like my store, it's not complex but it was fun to make something on that scale – literally!
i would have never made anything like that inSL but with Kitely, it is so inexpensive to experiment and do something like that. with our $35 Gold plan for Enclave Harbour, we have four extra sims, so the store would have just been an unused sim otherwise
for the store, i have it set so that it is free for you to visit – it uses our Kitely credits and your 6 hours have cost a whopping $1.79! that's if you figure KCs at their most expensive which is 1000 for $5. that's pretty affordable (especially since it's using KCs that Ilan and Oren gave me last year) *thanks Ilan and Oren!* =)
because Kitely is so affordable and we have those "extra" sims, i decided to also build Hax Nuit. well, i'm making it because i've been wanting to do it for 5 years and now that i have a way to cheaply share it, i was prompted to finally get off my butt (lol, i guess when it comes to OpenSim and making things, you actually have to get on your butt!) =p
fingers crossed that Hax Nuit goes live this sunday, i've been building it on SoaS for convenience and access. i hope some people find it an entertaining place to explore and collect "quest" items (and even role play). as an only child, i'm used to imaginary playing and Hax Nuit seems like fun to me
Hax Nuit will be free for a while (months), but would people pay to explore it in Kitely?
i know that people do pay to access some worlds because Ilan has told me so. Kitely's model is diff than SL and, in my opinion, it's a better model because i think it is a fair thing to pay-as-you-play. for $35 a month you have unlimited minutes AND 20 sims! heck, for $20 a month you get 120 hours and 10 sims – 120 hours is a lot of in-world time!
sorry if this sounds like a Kitely ad, but i like their service model and what they do for OpenSim and what they do for their offering (Ilan said in a comment yesterday that they are rolling out more improvements soon)
so . . . getting back on topic . . . creating worlds where visitors pay their own way is a different approach but at inexpensive rates of 0.3 to 0.5 cents per minute, this seems very fair (just like cell phones)
what's your perspective on that approach?

Does anyone know how many #8 beads you use in making a bracelet? I took a class in kumihimo weaving with seed beads and I have not made any in a while and guess what, I forgot. We have just recently moved and I can not find my notes either. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. I tried e-mailing the instructor and she has not answered my request.
I think it depends on the kind of kumihimo weave (the number of threads), the lenght of the bracelet, how many beads in one row etc. Can you specify your request a bit? I tried kumihimo only without beads, but there are so many weaves and it will be hard to determine the number of beads.
Maybe you can contact the blog owner of this one: http://bevsjewelry.blogspot.com/search/label/Kumihimo%20Bracelets She made some kumihimo bracelets and is very helpful (helped me with some chain maille questions).
I'm not sure if this helps, but, in the book Getting Started with Seed Beads by Dustin Wedekind, he says that size 11 roughly measures one inch when 11 seed beads are lined up side by side (not hole to hole). A size 6 is about twice as big, with size 8 somewhere in between. By doing some math, you should be able to guess-timate the size of your bracelet.
' hope this helps. I am very interested in learning kumihimo weaving, good luck with it.
happy beading,
As Dagmar said, it depends on the particular braid and how many strands you are braiding with.
For our kumihimo classes, we use 8 strands to make a bracelet. The 8 strands are actually 4 26" long strands (doubled). We use seed beads as small as 13/0s or so, to as large as 8/0. When you're using seed beads, the size doesn't matter too much and you can mix sizes as long as your strands are long enough. You can even throw in larger beads as large as 4-5 mm, or even larger into the bead soup if you want a chunkier look. If we use larger "chunky" beads, we make the strands longer because it will take more to braid around the "chunks".
If you are using more than 8 strands, the length of each strand might be slightly different, but I can't say for sure. I'll try to help if you aren't using 8 strands - just give me a holler, okay?
Deb - AZ Bead Depot
This will take you to the FMG Encyclobeadia. About halfway down the list is "Bead and hole sizes". They also have inch to mm and mm to inch conversion charts in the same listing. Just hi-lite, copy and paste the URL into address bar.

Ignorance is curable; Stupidity has neither cure nor excuse.
Thank you all for responding to my kumihimo question. Thanks to you I have it figured out.
You need 30-35 beads on each strand.
30-makes your standard length
35 - makes it between 8.5 - 9 inches
Audrey P
This is Teena,
I had a computer crash, and lost my information, and do not have back up, so i found your info in my receipt book, smile. I will send you a copy of getting started
I took a class recently and we used about 74 #8 beads on each of 3 strings, and 4mm beads on the fourth string. We found the center of each string and split the beads evenly on each side (thus creating our 8 cords for the disk). Hope that helps!
I got a foam disk. To learn on. When I get the Basics,Deb at A-Z Bead Depot in Apache Juction,AZ has the wood ones. (that is on my wish list=)
So happy I found this thread, it explains alot. I haven't tried it yet.
Gyspy Mary
Blessed are those who can Give, without remembering
and Take with out Forgetting
Be creative...ladies, Kumihimo is one of my favorite...I have made many bracelets. Don't just use seed beads...use different types of of beads and stones. If you have strandsof stones...line them up and twist them...this is what your finished look will be. I made two different kumi bracelets for Lois in the bracelet swap and while the design is exactly the same, the use of the beads made them totally different.
Beads and Blessings
Thank you every one. Will be taking this to the hospital to be keeping my fingers and hands busy.
Thank you again.
Thank you. Will be stringing some beads today . This will go with me to the hospital tomorrow.
Appreciat t his.
Hi Tenal,
A good "rule of thumb" if you're using size 8 beads on all 8 warps is 8 beads to the inch on all 8 warps. Or, a total of 64 beads per each inch of braid you want to make. Be sure to leave a small portion of unbeaded braid at each end for the end caps.

Google knows every WiFi password in the world. Well, roughly a billion passwords anyway.
Posted By Enrique Manalang On September 17, 2013 @ 8:34 AM In Android | 4 Comments
Privacy is one of the most discussed issue in tech in the recent year, and this new report from Computerworld might be slightly unsettling if privacy is something you take seriously. According to Michael Horowitz of Computerworld, Google knows almost a billion WiFi passwords from around the world.
When Google announced Android KitKat [2], they also announced that there have been 1 billion Android device activations to date. That's a lot of Android devices out in the wild, many of which have surely connected to multiple WiFi networks.
Soh how would Google have everyone's passwords? It isn't commonly known, but as part of Android's backup feature the company also stores device WiFi passwords for all saved WiFi networks each device has connected. The feature is part of Google's backup feature built into Android that allows you to store your device settings in the cloud and easily have them restored to the same or other devices as needed. Here's where you can find the feature:
- In Android 2.3.4, go to Settings, then Privacy. On an HTC device, the option that gives Google your Wi-Fi password is "Back up my settings". On a Samsung device, the option is called "Back up my data". The only description is "Back up current settings and application data". No mention is made of Wi-Fi passwords.
- In Android 4.2, go to Settings, then "Backup and reset". The option is called "Back up my data". The description says "Back up application data, Wi-Fi passwords, and other settings to Google servers".
The feature is undoubtedly convenient, as it makes changing to new devices a more seamless experience — who wants to have to type in WiFi passwords when you move to another device anyway? The problem here is that, according to Computerworld, Google can actually read your passwords.
Why is Google storing, and possibly reading, this information? We don't really know. It could be for research purposes. They probably aren't out for your home WiFi password so they can leech off your internet connection, but it's a very real possibility that Google could be forced by governments to turn over the passwords of a specific Android user.
Or maybe Google genuinely thought it is a convenient feature for their users and didn't realize the risks of doing something like this… especially without warning users. Yep, I'm an optimist.
To be clear, we don't know exactly how many Android devices have this backup feature enabled, which is why we are loosely using the 1 billion number. Still, despite not knowing the exact number, we can make an educated guess that the number is north of tens of millions.
On the bright side, if this is something you are worried about then you can easily disable this Android backup feature right now if you have it enabled and your settings will no longer be synced/backed up in the cloud. Just don't forget to change your WiFi password, too.
What do you think about this development? Let us know in the comments below [3]!

The women of pop art
Long sidelined, women artists slowly win recognition – and museum space.
Courtesy of The Brooklyn Museum
New York
Notice a tint of gender bias in terms like "masterpiece" and "old master"? Now a picture is emerging of not just historical, but persistent discrimination against women in the art world. A slew of recent museum exhibitions aims to fill in the blanks. The latest, "Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists, 1958-1968" (at the Brooklyn Museum through Jan. 9), brings a feminine presence to the masculine-sounding term "pop art."
The show features works by 25 women who helped develop pop art but who (except for the sculptor Marisol) disappeared from art history books. "These artists were all visible once," says Sid Sachs, director of exhibitions at Philadelphia's University of the Arts, who conceived the show. Yet when the first art histories and surveys of the movement appeared, he adds, "There was a real critical culling." Mr. Sachs made it his mission to "cherchez la femme" and says, that through exhaustive research, "I found the women!"
It's not news that art by women has been under-recognized. H.W. Janson's classic text "History of Art," used in countless Art 101 courses, didn't contain work by a single female artist until the 1986 edition, after the author was deceased. (That edition included 19 female artists out of 2,300 illustrations.) As late as 1979 Janson said, "I have not been able to find a woman artist who clearly belongs in a one-volume history of art."

So this morning I woke up to a rainy morning so I put on my jeans and shirt and headed to class. But, by the time I got out of class it was so nice and sunny and I wished I had worn my shorts! But don't be worried, I'll be sure to whip them out tomorrow! Hopefully it stays warm enough so I can wear them because it looks as though it's going to rain again!
One of my classes got canceled for tomorrow so now I have a nice long break between classes! I think I'll take advantage of it by relaxing on the mall and do homework. In my Aesthetics and Design class we are turning in our art projects so I can't wait to present mine!
That's all for today! Feel free to leave a comment!

I (obviously) love ice cream…more than most people, if you couldn't tell ! And I really love ice cream sandwiches. But sometimes, the cookies that come with them are just too hard. So I decided to make some of my own cookies to pair with some homemade ice cream and make my own ice cream sandwiches. I wanted chocolate because I like the idea of the cookies being chocolate in ice cream sandwiches. Plus, they go better with a lot of ice cream flavors than traditional chocolate chip cookies. Like caramel and mint, the two flavors I happen to have in my freezer now. Continue reading

Fresh Mint Ice Cream
The thing about this mint ice cream is that it's not flavored with extract. Instead, I steeped some mint leaves in the milk and let that flavor the custard. Delicious! Then, I added some chopped up thin mints to the batter during the last few minutes of freezing. Wow! What a great minty combination! You get that bright fresh mint flavor from the ice cream, and then the chewy and pepperminty thin mint bite a little while afterwards. This is a great refreshing summer ice cream. Continue reading
Sweet Kaak
Sweet kaak is nothing like regular kaak, except that it's also kinda like a bread stick. Actually, it's really more like a cookie made with orange zest. I usually don't love orange zest, but for some reason I absolutely love sweet kaak. It's a traditional Syrian treat, one that if I have in my cookie jar (okay, fine, I don't have a cookie jar, but I do have airtight containers that I can leave on the counter and store cookies in) I will finish in about a day. Basically, they are sugar cookies that are twisted. Yum! Continue reading
Banana Pops!
On Monday I bought a Zoku Quick Pop Maker! I got home and put it straight in the freezer because I just couldn't wait to try it out. And boy am I glad about that impulse buy! I had some overripe bananas hanging out on my banana tree (read: KA dough hook), and mixed them with just a teeny bit of sugar and some milk – voila, I made really healthy banana pops that rival those banana FrozFruits we used to eat on the beach (fine, more often we got coconut and strawberry. Claire always got lime).
Sour Cream Coffee Cake
On the rare occasion that I buy sour cream, I really need to use it before it goes bad. That means a lot of cake and muffins are baked in my house, then frozen for future breakfasts. I mean, I don't want to waste a perfectly good ingredient. In this case, I decided to bake coffee cake, because it's classic New York cuisine and easy to make for breakfast. I found a recipe in an old issue of Bon Appetit I had lying around, and it was perfect! A thick crumb topping and a nice moist cake.
Burnt Caramel Pudding
Happy Chol Hamoed! You're probably stuffed, but I think you can make room for some dessert:
I've been known to browse the internet for hours, reading recipes and adding them to my ever-growing Things To Make list. Most things are on that list forever for a long time, but not this recipe!
Right after I read this recipe, I was invited to a friend for Shabbat lunch, and excitedly replied, "I'll bring dessert, hope you're serving dairy!" She confirmed that she planned on a dairy lunch, and I didn't stop talking about this pudding all week. Poor David. Continue reading

Shun Knife Sets Review
Review Author: Alex Wicks

Summary: The 9 piece Shun Classic Knife Set is designed with the all-round chef in mind. Using Shun's Kasumi knife making method all 9 pieces are very strong and can be used for all kitchen needs.
The Shun Classic 9 piece set features everything you would expect from one of the Shun Knife Sets. It includes 6 beautiful knives, a pair of kitchen shears, a sharpening steel and a bamboo block housing to keep your blades from loosing their edge and getting damaged.
The knife set includes
- 9 inch bread knife
- 9 inch slicing knife
- 8 inch Chef/Cooks knife
- 6 inch utility knife
- 3.5 inch pairing knife
- 2.5 inch Bird's Beak knife
- A set of kitchen shears
- High grade sharpening steel
Every Shun Classic Knife in all Shun Knife Sets is made in Japan following the Kasumi method of knife making. Each Shun Classic knife has a black PakkaWood (composite hardwood) handle and a one-piece stainless steel booster, end cap and tang.
- Good Points Very good product. Shun Classic knives really are very good. Every Shun Classic Knife is made by the yasumi method of folding steel – the same method used to make samurai swords. Made from SUS419 high- carbon stainless steel. The blades have a beautiful Damascus look which stops food from sticking to the blade. The PakkaWood handle – is amazing, comfortable and every Shun Classic Knife is well balanced. In a word – Superb.
- Bad Points – Shun knives are especially designed for the user. Every Shun Classic Knife comes in left hand and right hand versions – you cannot buy one knife for several people to use. They cost a lot – but they are amazing.

When people search for a home mortgage with little to no down payment, they often neglect some other important items in the home buying process. Here are some common mistakes that can be avoided with a little work.
Mention the word insurance to one of your friends or co-workers and watch their eyes glaze over with confusion, fear and even frustration. Insurance, in its many forms, can be quite difficult to understand. Here is a primer that will hopefully help first time home buyers make a better decision for their home insurance needs.
Being comfortable with how something works can help relieve the stress and fear of tackling a new task. Parents try to explain the various duties a doctor will perform in order to make the annual checkup more bearable. In turn, surgeons will tell their patients what to expect during recovery so that they understand how long they will have to wait until their body is back to complete health. Understanding how an FHA loan works can relieve stress for home buyers in the same kind of way. Here are some of the major points to consider.
According to the latest reports over 20 million loans have been provided to Veterans since the VA mortgage program started in 1944. It has gone well beyond helping a group of returning soldiers obtain a loan to the point that whole generations have benefited from the VA's efforts. For people that meet the requirements a VA mortgage beats out other types of home loans in big ways.
The recent rise in mortgage rates for conventional loans has created quite a buzz in the real estate industry. Analysts are busy trying to predict how this will impact the sale of homes since the overall market has steadily increased for several months. However, the people that are in need of a jumbo mortgage are quite happy. The normal gap that exists between conventional rates and jumbo rates has shrunk, providing the jumbo purchases a chance to get a loan at a great rate.

Similarity, Kernels, and the Triangle Inequality AbstractSimilarity is used as an explanatory construct throughout psychology and multidimensional scaling (MDS) is the most popular way to assess similarity. In MDS, similarity is intimately connected to the idea of a geometric representation of stimuli in a perceptual space. Whilst connecting similarity and closeness of stimuli in a geometric representation may be intuitively plausible, Tversky and Gati [Tversky, A., Gati, I. (1982). Similarity, separability, and the triangle inequality. Psychological Review, 89(2), 123–154] have reported data which are inconsistent with the usual geometric representations that are based on segmental additivity. We show that similarity measures based on Shepard's universal law of generalization [Shepard, R. N. (1987). Toward a universal law of generalization for psychologica science. Science, 237(4820), 1317–1323] lead to an inner product representation in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. In such a space stimuli are represented by their similarity to all other stimuli. This representation, based on Shepard's law, has a natural metric that does not have additive segments whilst still retaining the intuitive notion of connecting similarity and distance between stimuli. Furthermore, this representation has the psychologically appealing property that the distance between stimuli is bounded.

So this week I am going to revisit the topic of recruitment….but this time around it all works for guys and girls, and it isn't specific to sororities or fraternities at all. But….it is Butler-specific.
The other day I was walking through the top floor of Atherton, the home of a lot of different offices, and the Greek Life office specifically. Outside the office is a bulletin board with the following five statistics about Butler Greek Life:
- 1060 – affiliated students
- 84 – % of Greek students maintaining at least a 3.0 cum GPA
- 98 – % of Greek students retained at Butler from Freshman to Sophomore year
- 25 – thousand service hours by Greek students in the year 2009-2010
- 142 – thousand dollars raised by Greek students in the year 2009-2010
Aren't those legit statistics??? Personally, reading those make me super proud to belong to a sorority at Butler, where I can be a part of this awesome community. But what you might be thinking is that those statistics are great, but what Greek Life can actually do for you is what matters. And truthfully, Greek Life is exactly what you make of it, as is the recruitment process. By making the most of the sisterhood/brotherhood, you can be blessed beyond belief with people and relationships that you might have never met or had. For instance, I met my best friends at school all within the past year, through being in my house, and I can't imagine my life without them now! And the important thing is that you can't make that into a number or a statistic, because it is something so much more real and tangible than that.
If you have any questions at all about recruitment or Butler's Greek Life, please don't hesitate to ask!

The aim was to leave Abu Dhabi still leading the drivers standings and Red Bulls Sebastian Vettel managed to do just that, albeit in a much more tumultuous fashion than he had ever imagined. After keeping his nerve following his disqualification from qualifying, Vettel managed to zoom through the field from a pit-lane start to eventually finish in third. What an achievement! He reviews his race and looks ahead to Austin
Q: Sebastian from P24 to P3 in 55 laps. How satisfied are you with your race?
Sebastian Vettel: Ha, I dont think I zoomed through the field just one time - I think I did it twice. Believe me, it is quite a piece of work to make your way up one time, but two times is indeed quite something. Somehow it was fun and the result is pleasing. It was a conciliatory ending to a tumultuous day. Sure the safety car played to my advantage. In that phase I was on the soft tyres and even a win didnt look out of reach. We started the race with the clear aim of finishing high up and bagging as many points as possible and it worked! I am pretty satisfied.
Q: How important for your confidence was it to do well today after being disqualified on Saturday?
SV: Very important. But it is more important that you dont see such a blow as a blow because then you dont have to pick up the pieces again! I think the whole team took the decision very calmly and immediately concentrated on changing the set-up to raise our chance of getting into the points.
Q: Toro Rosso youngster Daniel Ricciardo was didnt really help you today
SV: Yep, that was a bit of stupid situation. He didnt close the gap to the cars in front and was braking very hard. At that moment I was probably not concentrating 100 per cent and was surprised. I was on the right and couldnt give way to the left and there it was - the board. In a moment the front wing was completely gone. That was not really pleasant as I had already moved far ahead and had to join at the back again.
Q: You leave here still leading the standings. How excited are you about Austin?
SV: I am looking forward to the next race very much. I have not added points to my tally but also I havent lost as many as a start from the pit lane would suggest. We have to go on full attack in Austin. Lets see what we can achieve there.
Q: The Austin track is new territory for all and Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko said that he doesnt care what the track is like as the RB8 is the fastest car right now. Whats your feeling?
SV: Yes, we have been fast in all the last races and even if we didnt have the best car on the grid we could take.
Q: You could wrap up the title in Austin? The match point is yours
SV: First we want to exhale and relax for a few days before we focus again. And yes, if the chance is there why not make it game, set, match to stay with the tennis terminology! (laughs)

CORRECTING And REPLACING -- Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. Reports Results For Three And Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2012
RESTON, Va., March 26, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a press release issued by Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq:CHCI) with the same headline, please note that the financial results are for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012, not four and twelve months ended December 31, 2012 as originally stated on the headline. The full and corrected release follows:
Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq:CHCI) ("Comstock" or the "Company"), a home building and multi-faceted real estate development and services company in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, announced a net loss for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012 of ($2.0) million or ($0.10) per basic and diluted share on total revenue of $2.6 million as compared to a net loss for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011 of ($2.7) million or ($0.14) per basic and diluted share on total revenue of $6.1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company reported a net loss of ($5.7) million or ($0.28) per basic and diluted share on total revenue of $14.3 million as compared to a net income of $1.1 million or $0.05 per basic and diluted share on total revenue of $21.9 million for year ended December 31, 2011. The 2012 results include impairment charges of $2.4 million on the Company's one remaining legacy project, the Eclipse, while results for 2011 include a one-time gain on legal settlement of $9.4 million. During 2012, the Company also reported a gain of $6.5 million within net income from discontinued operations as a result of the $19.35 million sale of the Cascades apartment project in the first quarter.
2013 Outlook
"For the first time in a number of years there is clear and convincing evidence that the housing market has rebounded and will continue to improve," said Christopher Clemente, Comstock's Chairman and CEO. "The inventory of existing homes on the market has dropped to levels not seen in decades, while the number of days on market has dropped to pre-recession levels. Further, historically low interest rates are contributing to the affordability of new homes, while residential rental rates continue to climb. Although the results we reported for 2012 are disappointing, our primary focus during 2012 was securing and positioning new projects to generate positive results in 2013 and beyond. Based upon our early sales success at our recently opened new communities, 2013 is off to a great start, with unit sales and revenue in the first quarter of 2013 expected to approximate the revenue levels for all of 2012."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Thomas Guolee, alleged member of white supremacist gang the '211 Crew,' now in custody
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - An alleged associate of a white supremacist prison gang linked to the suspected murderer of Colorado's prison chief is now under arrest.
The El Paso County Sheriff's Office said Thomas Guolee, 31, was not a suspect in the murders of Department of Corrections Chief Tom Clements or part-time delivery driver Nate Leon, but his name did come up during the investigation into those cases. The suspected murderer, Evan Ebel, was also linked to the prison gang called the "211 Crew."
Guolee's family confirmed he was arrested Thursday, saying they'd learned of it through law enforcement. They were also reportedly told the arrest was peaceful.
Later, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office confirmed Guolee was taken into custody by Colorado Springs Police at approximately 5:30 p.m. They called Guolee a "person of interest" in the Clements murder investigation..
ABC News confirmed he was taken into custody peacefully at a home where he had been "hiding out."
Guolee, the Sheriff's Office said, is being held without bond for a violation of his parole. They declined to reveal any additional details about the Clements investigation.
Guolee's mother previously told 7NEWS he has tattoos down his legs with the words "White" and "Power."
At the time of that interview on April 5, his mother said she hadn't seen him for about three weeks.
After her son's arrest, Deborah Eck described her concern about Guolee's young daughter.
"She knows that Daddy's in trouble and we had sit down and tell her the police were looking for Daddy again," Eck said.
Guolee and another suspected 211 Crew member, 37-year-old James Lohr, were the subject of an "official safety bulletin" issued by the El Paso County Sheriff's Office. It was broadcast over police radio on the evening of April 3.
"Officer safety bulletin, extreme caution: The El Paso County Sheriff's Office and the Colorado Department of Corrections requesting all law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for the following parties," said a dispatcher.
Lohr was arrested on April 5, after throwing a gun from his car during a police chase and then trying to outrun police on foot when his car broke down.

But while the grim reports pile up, Petersen says the roots of the crisis stretch into Miami's ghettos. Weaned on the noble principles of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, the judge remembers working with Dade's delinquents 25 years ago as a VISTA volunteer and later as Dade's first juvenile court public defender. Since then, he maintains, the inner city --
and its children -- have changed dramatically. Strategies to combat delinquency have not.
"The story of Carrie Jones, our inability to help this girl, is the story of a system that is not so much evil, or lazy, as just plain irrelevant," Petersen charges. "We're dealing with delinquents using the Boys Town model, this idea that kids are just temporarily off the track and everybody's working together -- the priest, the family, the community -- to right them. But the fact is delinquency today is about inner-city black kids without families or role models, kids our society would just as soon forget. What meaning does Boys Town have when Carrie Jones is living in Boyz N the Hood?"
Two years into her retirement, sixteen-year-old Carrie Jones's memories of her grand-theft glory are still fresh, her recollections summoned with an air of illicit nostalgia. "One time I went out with these boys and they wanted to see if I could really steal a car," she recalls, shedding for a moment the sullen mask with which she usually faces the world. "I started to, and they went 'round the corner to wait. The whole thing took me about four minutes and when I brought the car around, them boys be saying, `You must have had the keys.' I said, `If I had the keys, would it have taken this long?!'"
With equal enthusiasm, Carrie tells of other such episodes: The night she and her posse almost pinched a Miami city commissioner's car; the time a band of socially conscious thieves took a U-Haul truck filled with appliances, parked it in a project parking lot and let the masses have at it. Most thrilling of all was the morning she found herself in a made-for-TV police chase. As lights swirled blue and red in her periphery and sirens Dopplered through the streets, she hunched in the front seat of a stolen Oldsmobile, a cap pulled low over her brow. "We was out stealing cars by the airport and we got ourselves on a high-speed chase," she recalls. "We made it down to Jackson Hospital and hit a dead end, some kind of lake. I rolled under the car and heard the police saying, `Freeze,' and these boys jumped into the water and started swimming. When I heard the police take off, I ran through that hospital trying to change my clothes all around. And I got a cab driver to take me all the way home. I told him my family had left me at the hospital. I told him I was lost."
The ex-larcenist relates the latest street scuttlebutt like a cranky grandparent longing for the good old days. "Nowadays, boys around the neighborhood, they stick a car just to do a crime in and abandon it. I taught some of those boys how to take cars, the younger ones, and now they're taking them left and right," she says, making no effort to conceal her pride. "They're taking Cherokees. I know one boy that got a Jaguar. But they still haven't figured out how to get into a Lexus," she says. Then, suddenly lowering her voice, she adds, "Sometimes they be trying to make me go do it again."
The bitter irony of Carrie's world, Petersen observes, is that its decay was accelerated by desegregation. "When I came to Miami in 1966, the issues in juvenile court were essentially the same. But back then you had a stronger neighborhood structure created by segregation. When those barriers broke down, the upwardly mobile people, the lawyers and doctors, left the inner city," says the judge. Those blacks who got left behind, Petersen adds, have had to compete with waves of industrious immigrants, most recently Haitians and West Indians, who latch on to blue-collar jobs, amass savings, and head down the road to suburban prosperity. Compounding the barren economic landscape, the streets lined with fast-food joints and liquor depots posing as grocery stores, has been a feminization of poverty that has transformed public housing projects into villages of women and small children. "Twenty-five years ago in Carrie Jones's neighborhood, 85 percent of the heads of households were two-parent families and 15 percent were single parents. Now it's flipped," Petersen sighs.
Within these marginalized outposts, where 90 percent of Dade's delinquents are groomed, social workers don't come to visit. They come to represent. "People in those projects are perceptive," says Ken Harris, a senior delinquency counselor for HRS. "It's like, `Are you here to help me or are you here because your job says you have to be?' If you can't go in there just on a social visit without feeling threatened, you can't go in there and work with them." A tall, soft-spoken man, Harris, like other black caseworkers, has spent a decade trying to bridge the gap between the state's clumsy child-service bureaucracy and inner-city delinquents. At the age of 35, he is recovering from a heart attack doctors say was triggered by stress.

Name calling rule--veinglory
Sunday, February 24, 2008
I generally let comments go but I think it it time to institute some limits for the sake of keeping conversations useful and focussed on matters of evidence and logic. So I will be removing any and all comments that direct personal insults to anyone. A personal insult being a crude name, attributing malicious motives or denigrating a persons basic intelligence, morals or other personal qualities.
Now if you want to say what a press or person is *doing* is unskilled, bizarre or just a very bad idea because of [insert reason here] that is fine. I just don't want to descend into mean girl accusations, name calling and snark of people not products and services. Snark of products and services, just to be clear, is fine and dandy.
I hope that makes sense and is okay with y'all.
Edited to Add to clarify, in case this should be needed, examples of what name calling is: "...everyone being so nasty...a small, jealous mind...go away and get a life"
Edited to Add: I am told that people believe I have been deleting comments in support of DCL. This is not true. I have deleted one post a few minutes ago in accordance with my new stated policy. If anyone thinks their post has been deleted or can see the alleged 'seven deleted comments' (a screen shot of this for example) please tell me. Because it ain't me doing it. I see 41 comments on the DCL post, 1 deleted.

It claimed Ghent had taken out $50 for an undercover drug buy. The new record included the right case number for Phillips' drug investigation. But still, the date was off — it showed Ghent hadn't taken out the $50 until a week after Phillips allegedly sold him crack.
The so-called corrected document is indicative of the declarations filed by federal prosecutors in the fall of 2010 in an attempt to keep Phillips from getting his evidentiary hearing. (The officers and LeClainche did not return phone calls from New Times. Capt. Coppin, reached on his cell phone, said he'd call back but never did.)
On September 2, 2010, Coppin signed a seven-page declaration meant to put to rest the court filings Phillips kept submitting.
Phillips had claimed in court documents that the personnel records proved Ghent was in class the night he claimed to have bought drugs from Phillips. But rather than concede that the dirty cop could not be trusted, Coppin conducted a little experiment. He got into his city-issued Ford Crown Victoria and drove to Palm Beach State College's Criminal Justice Institute at 4200 S. Congress Ave. in Lake Worth. He started at 8:52 p.m., which was about when Ghent might have gotten out of class the night of Phillips' arrest. Then he drove 9.9 miles north to the West Palm Beach Police station at 600 Banyan Blvd. It took him 16 minutes. The captain argued in his statement that Ghent had plenty of time after his class to get to the bust at 9:30.
But Coppin's experiment ignored several simple facts. Ghent may have been able to make it to the bust if he had driven straight there. However, police and prosecutors say he made several errands first. Department policy required him to stop at the police station to clock in and check out money from the evidence locker. If he skipped those steps, violating department policy, and used money out of his own pocket, he still wouldn't have been able to make it to the bust after his next step.
Statements from Sgt. Bradley Emmons and Lt. Brian Kapper claim that Ghent then met them at the parking lot of a closed building in the north end of the city. That's where they met the CI. Ghent then frisked her (this would have violated department rules, which specify that a female officer must frisk a female CI). The crew then drove to 625 Eighth St. and tested the wire Ghent was supposedly wearing that night. Emmons and Kapper allegedly parked around the corner in hopes of listening in as the deal went down.
Considering Coppin took 16 minutes to get just from the college to the police station, it's impossible that Ghent could have completed all the necessary steps and bought drugs from Phillips just 22 minutes after leaving his class.
LeClainche, a federal prosecutor since 1991, also filed a declaration to refute Phillips' evidence. LeClainche wrote that she got involved in the Phillips case when she was assigned to work with the DEA. LeClainche denies ever offering money to the CI or threatening her children during the meeting in the police department's conference room. In fact, LeClainche and Coppin claim that during that meeting, the CI called Phillips a killer and said she was afraid of him.
Linda McDermott, manager of the police department's Fiscal Services Department, gave a declaration too. McDermott argued that the payroll system used by the department was unreliable and not an accurate record of the hours Ghent worked that night. McDermott claimed Ghent worked ten overtime hours the week Phillips was arrested, although she offered no documents to support the claim. Department policies required that any overtime or corrections to a payroll record must be made in the Oracle system.
Many of the declarations filed by LeClainche include an identical, boilerplate defense of Ghent. Several of the cops wrote: "During my time I spent working with Agent Ghent on the CAT [Criminal Apprehension Team], I found Ghent to be reliable and trustworthy. Based on my years of experience as a law enforcement officer, I have seen individuals under the influence of narcotics. While working with Ghent on the CAT team, I never saw Ghent under the influence of narcotics." It had been three and a half years since Ghent had been arrested and forced to turn in his badge.
Phillips' records requests and subsequent appeals to the courts resulted in mixed results. Based on the CI's assertion that LeClainche had pressured her into saying she'd witnessed the crime, Phillips filed a complaint with the Florida Bar against the prosecutor for tampering with a witness. The U.S. Attorney's Office has since removed her from the case.
But his other maneuvers were met with setbacks. Phillips filed a 99-page motion in October 2008 asking for his sentence to be set aside and has followed it up with dozens of documents detailing his new evidence. Judges are inundated with requests like this, and Lenard could have quickly denied it with a one-page ruling. Instead she turned the filings over to U.S. Magistrate Judge P.A. White for a second opinion. White returned with a 67-page report on June 14, 2010, and it wasn't good for Phillips.
Even *if* he's guilty, spending over half a million dollars to lock someone up for selling $50 worth of drugs is beyond stupid. We should be cutting these sentences instead of cutting education and services for seniors and the disabled.

Well I wish you all the best and will pray for you and yours. I beleive in your innocent and 2nd chances. I am a Mom of an Inmate in federal prison that was set up by the DEA and Lied to They never even tryed to get the big guy's running the show even with their name given not by my son but his girl freind. I have a friend in the feds he says that the DEA is not interested in catching the big guys they just want knoches on their belts the more the marrier. Our Justice System is broken and Washington broke it. May God Bliss you with your freedom
Good reporting. I am not so sure that I believe that Phillips is innocent but the facts as related in this article prove that the police lied in their reports. The mere fact of the timeline refutes a major component of this case.
Having spent years now looking at the evidence in this case, I'd agree, DeathFrog3. Who knows, Elroy Phillips may or may not have been a drug dealer, but the evidence presented on this case was shaky at best.

Monroe Community College (MCC) offers computerized assessment testing using ACCUPLACER, a testing package produced by the College Board. All test questions are multiple choice questions. A student needs no special computer skills to take these tests.
ACCUPLACER will measure your knowledge in arithmetic, elementary algebra, college-level math, reading comprehension, and sentence skills. It is a computer based assessment, and is not a pass or fail test; rather, the results will help determine what classes best fit the student and their academic needs.
The College offers students a variety of free or inexpensive resources to brush up for the test prior to taking it for the first time. We highly recommend students to test when they are well-rested, and only after a thorough review of the ACCUPLACER study guides.
To determine the right course selection for new students, MCC offers ACCUPLACER placement testing in math, reading and language use.

Absence of 'poison pill' agreement offers
It truly is tender time in the NFL. For teams that have not by now executed so, they need to utilize undoubtedly one of five available tenders to their limited f-r-e-e brokers by Thursday to safe the suitable of for starters refusal plus much more for the people players. The ones tenders tackle added importance this year, the primary to begin with out a wage cap mainly because 1993, considering significantly more players than normal could be limited.
The situation for those restricted gamers hoping to land a giant deal is the fact that competing teams will undoubtedly be very hesitant to indicator them to supply sheets for 2 motives. The very first can be an exceptionally deep draft; most franchises will undoubtedly be loathe to surrender their cherished picks inside of a deep draft to land a limited no cost agent. The next is if the player is actually worth providing up picks for, odds are his workforce will match the supply you with sheet. Some teams analyze signing a participant to an offer sheet as just executing the opposite team's do the trick for them, due to the fact the initial team can match the offer you and keep the player.
But what if the ones teams could ensure the include would not be matched? That might change details a little bit. All any team absolutely need do is insert a phrase that's relatively very much unmatchable. Its named a poison pill.
One example is, if Bill Parcells hopes to reunite with former Cowboys undrafted totally free agent Miles Austin, Miami could craft an offer sheet that claims Austin's deal would need to become the best relating to the staff and 100 percent guaranteed if he performs more than 4 online games inside the state of Texas. Certainly Jerry Jones would need to allow Austin go mainly because he wouldn't need to pay out him over Tony Romo or DeMarcus Ware Dez Bryant Jersey, enable alone guaranteeing the whole contract.
Poison pills are really a totally authorized and suitable solution to purchase tendered people inside of the NFL. An arbitrator ruled so inside of a grievance the Seahawks submitted in 2006 soon after the Minnesota Vikings snuck a quick 1 past Seattle to safe All-Pro left guard Steve Hutchinson. The Seahawks shortly returned the favor by inserting their very own poison pill to steal Nate Burleson from your Vikings. is always that some kind of gentlemen's agreement is set up. Using the job turnover for coaches and executives as well as the ever-present insecurity that involves, how can it perhaps be that not one of these 32 teams has experienced a desire to do what it takes to sign any of those tagged or tendered gamers?
Just one ex-GM I spoke with reported he never noticed just about anything about not by making use of a poison tablet from his operator. He theorized that most people's reluctancy to tender offer sheets to restricted at no cost brokers has additional to do with not looking to quit draft possibilities.
Being obvious, I do not blame the possession if it does use a gentlemen's agreement in place. I don't believe that poison tablet contracts are excellent for your league like a full. The condition, surely, is the fact there is certainly a different name for the gentlemen's agreement: Collusion.
Executives with the league office environment get particularly unpleasant when they hear that phrase Jason Witten Jersey, and rightfully so. If ever the league had been observed guilty of this kind of a state, their anti-trust exemption may just be in jeopardy.
Given the snail-like speed for the present CBA negotiations and the escalating threat of the lockout in 2011, the NFLPA most likely is willing to use each chip it could actually to get the most desirable bargain. Any collusion state, particularly if it concerned the lack of poison tablet use, can be an incredibly great chip.

Expat never had any problems with that ", and IIRC, neither did any Perl's module? I remember someone posting some solution to the problem? Anyway, I don't think that's something we should worry about. But the reason I like base as an attribute (and I might be repeating myself here :) is because it looks kinda natural being close to the element's name. Since it is _its_ base, it somehow belongs there, at least in my eyes. But this reason is more a "personal preference" as Jesse put it, so it can be safely ignored. ;) Neven -- Unsubscribe: send email to listar at linuxfromscratch.org and put 'unsubscribe alfs-discuss' in the subject header of the message

Diversity Day
"Diversity Day" | |
The Office episode | |
Episode no. | Season 1 Episode 2 |
Directed by | Ken Kwapis |
Written by | B. J. Novak |
Production code | 1002[1] |
Original air date | March 29, 2005 |
Guest actors | |
"Diversity Day" is the second episode of the first season of the American comedy television series The Office, and the show's second episode overall. Written by B. J. Novak and directed by Ken Kwapis, it first aired in the United States on March 29, 2005, on NBC. The episode guest stars Office consulting producer Larry Wilmore as Mr. Brown.
In this episode, Michael's (Steve Carell) controversial imitation of a Chris Rock routine forces the staff to undergo a racial diversity seminar. A consultant (Larry Wilmore) arrives to teach the staff about tolerance and diversity, but Michael insists on imparting his own knowledge—aggravating both the consultant and the entire office staff—and creates his own diversity seminar. He eventually assigns each staff member an index card with a different race on it, causing tempers to slowly simmer until they finally snap. Meanwhile, Jim struggles to keep hold of a lucrative contract extension, but Dwight makes the sale for himself.
"Diversity Day" was the first episode of The Office to feature original writing, as the "Pilot" contained many jokes from the British series pilot. The episode guest starred Larry Wilmore, who plays the sensitivity trainer Mr. Brown. Wilmore, a writer for the show, had to formally audition with other actors because of stipulations with the Screen Actors Guild. The episode received a 2.7/6 in the Nielsen ratings among people aged 18–49 garnered 6.0 million viewers overall, losing almost half of its audience from the previous week. Despite this setback, the episode received positive reviews from television critics. NBC webcasted this episode on March 16, 2005 on MySpace to promote the show's then-upcoming premiere. This was NBC's first-ever online debut of a complete episode of a network series, and also included a trimmed-down webisode version of the episode for on-demand viewing on MySpace the following day.[2]
Manager Michael Scott (Steve Carell)'s controversial imitation of a Chris Rock routine forces the staff to undergo a racial diversity seminar. Michael refuses to allow Mr. Brown to control the seminar, instead attempting to assist him in teaching, much to Brown's chagrin. However, when confidentially informed by Brown that the seminar was not meant for the staff, but instead only for Michael, he decides to create his own seminar. Michael is seen later on in the episode signing the release form Mr. Brown passed around, with the name "Daffy Duck". Mr. Brown does not realize the signature is bogus, at any time in the show.
Michael hastily fashions his own more ambitious and improvisational program, under the name "Diversity Tomorrow" ("because today is almost over"). He first asks the employees to detail their particular ethnicities, helpfully offering that he is a "virtual United Nations" of English, Scottish, Irish, German and "2/15 Native American Indian" origins.
Michael assigns each staff member an index card with a different race written on it. They are not allowed to read the card, wearing it on their foreheads for others to see. He then compels the employees to interact and "mix up the melting pot." The staff members are supposed to guess what race they are based on the actions and phrases recited to them by their office mates who can see the index card. Lots of uncomfortable but hilarious exchanges of stereotypes for various races occur between the bunch. Thus, Michael reasons, they will learn how it is to "be a minority" while ironically bringing up offensive stereotypes (Scott has no card for "Arab" or "Muslim", because, he explains, it would be "too explosive").
Salesman Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) desperately tries to close on an important annual sale that makes up about 25% of his annual commission. In the chaos of the day, it is Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson), another salesman, who closes the sale for himself. Nevertheless, when Jim's love interest, Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer), falls asleep on his shoulder at the end of the meeting, he concludes that it was "not a bad day."
Larry Wilmore, who plays the sensitivity trainer Mr. Brown, is a writer for the show. At the table-read for this episode, they had not cast the part yet and Daniels had Wilmore read for the role to fill in. After the read, producer Greg Daniels thought he was perfect for the role.[3] However, because of stipulations with the Screen Actors Guild, producers still had to have Wilmore formally audition with other actors for the role.[4] Daniels was also not sure where to use Mindy Kaling on screen in the series until the point came in this episode's script when Michael needed to be slapped by a minority. Her character in this episode, however, is far from the bubbly, chatty character that Kelly later becomes.[5][6] The second episode of the series was the first to feature predominantly original writing, as the "Pilot" contained many jokes from the British series pilot.[7] During one of Michael's impersonations, a racial expletive spoken by Michael had to be censored by the producers for NBC. Daniels was terrified that the scene would leak unedited, so he personally oversaw the censoring of the master copy.[8]
"Diversity Day" premiered on NBC on April 5, 2005.[9] While the pilot episode garnered over eleven million viewers,[10] the second episode lost over half its viewing audience from the previous episode.[11][12] The episode received a 2.7/6 in the Nielsen ratings among people aged 18–49, meaning that 2.7 percent of all 18–49 year olds viewed the episode and six percent of all 18–49 year olds watching TV viewed it.[9] The episode garnered 6.0 million viewers overall.[9] The episode, airing after Scrubs, retained 90% of its lead-in 18-49 audience.[9] In addition, "Diversity Day," along with the other first season episodes of The Office helped NBC score its highest-rated Tuesday night slot since February 1, 2005.[9]
Contrary to the lukewarm response to the pilot, "Diversity Day" earned positive reviews from television critics. Entertainment Weekly gave the episode positive reviews, stating that: "Think of the toss-off racism of the original, plopped into a PC-gone-wrong showcase that might be entitled The Accidental Bigot. As when the African-American diversity trainer introduces himself as Mr. Brown, and Scott assures him, 'I will not call you that.'"[13] Ricky Gervais, who was the lead in the British series, stated that, in comparison to the British version, "It is as good. I love the fact that, apart from the first one, the scripts are all original. You've gone back to the blueprint of what the characters are and you've started from there, as opposed to copying anything."[14] Rolling Stone magazine named the scene wherein Michael shows the office his diversity video the third greatest Moment from The Office. The article particularly praised Michael's line: "Abraham Lincoln once said, 'If you are a racist, I will attack you with the North.'"[15]
Erik Adams of The A.V. Club awarded the episode a "B+" and felt that, as the show lost viewers in the first season, the stories got better, and that "Diversity Day" is an excellent example of this "unfortunate trend".[16] He noted that the episode "would go on to be one of the series' defining episodes, an installment that put a more hopeful spin on the original Office 's views on accepting the disparity between our dreams and our realities."[16] However, Adams noted that Carell's character was still too aggressive for Michael Scott to be completely lovable, and that the second season episode "Sexual Harassment" would serve as "a gentler spiritual sequel" to this episode, featuring a similar premise, but with a softened Michael Scott.[16] For his work on this episode, B. J. Novak was nominated for a Writers Guild of America Award for Best Screenplay – Episodic Comedy.[17]

Glen Carlou Syrah 2005
Glen Carlou Syrah 2005
search item no.
Winemaker's Notes:
This Syrah has rich complex layers of New World fruit with ripe berry flavors, violets and purple currants on the palate. Aromas of wild mulberries, spicy black berries, and floral notes follow with spicy, and toasty oak. Rich, fruit-driven flavors on the palate linger through a long finish. Made midway between a new and old world style this balanced, complex wine is made by thinning half the fruit in the vineyard during the early growing stages. By doing this, we're able to harvest fruit that is more concentrated in flavors and thus produce a dense and powerful Syrah.
Blend: 94% Syrah, 5% Mourvedre, 1% Viognier

Whether you're cutting out classic Christmas shapes, or want to make custom cookies for a baby shower, Valentine's Day, or a birthday party, this no-frills sugar cookie recipe is all you need. If you want, make the dough ahead of time and keep it in the fridge, or freeze it until you're ready to use it. And unlike many sweets that go stale after a day, these baked cookies stay fresh up to 4 days in a sealed container, even with the icing, so they're ideal for shipping as a gift or serving on a cookie plate, and you can make them with basic pantry ingredients.
Watch the CHOW Test Kitchen's Amy Wisniewski make these simple Christmas sugar cookies in an episode of our Easiest Way video series.
- 1Whisk together the measured flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl to aerate and break up any lumps; set aside.
- 2Place the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute. With the mixer running, gradually add the sugar and mix until the butter is lighter in color, about 1 minute total. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle with a rubber spatula.
- 3Whisk together the egg and vanilla in a small bowl. Return the mixer to medium speed, add the egg mixture, and mix until incorporated, about 30 seconds. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle. Turn the mixer to low speed, gradually add the reserved flour mixture, and mix until just incorporated, about 1 minute total.
- 4Scrape the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap and pat it into a 1-inch-thick disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm enough to roll, at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.
- 5When you're ready to bake the cookies, heat the oven to 375°F and arrange the racks to divide the oven into thirds. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- 6Flour a work surface and a rolling pin. Unwrap the dough and set the plastic wrap aside. Place the dough disk on the work surface and lightly dust both sides with flour. Roll out the dough to a 3/16- to 1/4-inch thickness, frequently dusting the work surface and using an offset or flat spatula to gently slide under and release any dough that sticks to the counter.
- 7Make one final pass under the dough with the spatula, then use the desired cookie cutters to cut out the cookies (no need to flour the cookie cutters). Remove the dough scraps from around the cookies and set them aside. Using a flat spatula, transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least a 1/2 inch of space between them. Form the scraps into a flat disk, wrap it in the reserved plastic, and refrigerate.
- 8Place both sheets in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheets from front to back and top to bottom and bake until the edges of the cookies are just starting to brown, about 5 to 6 minutes more.
- 9Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies sit on the sheets for about 1 minute. Using the flat spatula, remove the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely. Let the baking sheets cool, reserving the parchment, then repeat rolling, cutting, and baking the dough scraps. Decorate as desired.
