Hovet -Day 3
... days before, the sun was shining now and it looked even more glorius. At Oslo I had to catch a bus to Dombas and then a connecting train to Trondheim. The first challenge was finding the right bus. Fortunately there was a customer service officer at the train station, helping all us tourists figure out where they are supposed to be. I get out to the bus and its mayhem. There are about five or six buses pulling in and loading ...
Hovet - Day 2
... only a one strip of overhead lights, turning on the headlights was a must to see where the road goes. They were quite narrow, I commented that you wouldn't want to come across a big truck down here, but Harald assured me that "oh no, we fit quite well." At the end of the tunnel the car emerged into bright sunlight and yet another beautiful landscape. Instead of trucks, the issue with the tunnels is the sheep that like to go into ...

Hovet - Day 1
... went down quite nicely. Maybe because it was a pilsner (which I have'nt had before) or maybe it was the aquavit, but it worked either way. We flipped on the TV and Harald, very politely, was looking for and english program. Wouldn't you know it, Vikings was on (one of my favourite shows) So we watched Vikings, Harald seemed to like it. I got a few interesting tidbits on the vikings. They were more liberal with women's rights than most western society. Women ...
Train to Hemsedal - the "real" Norway
Dalyn, Bim and I took a train to Hemsedal today. My first European train ride was quite pleasant; clean, quiet, smooth trains make travel really convenient here. Bim's mom picked us up from the train station in Gol and drove us about 30 minutes to their house in Hemsedal. Their house was settled in between Norwegian mountains out in the countryside. It was the most picturesque, beautiful, peaceful, green, and thriving, setting I have ever seen. Like the Heidi movies; Norway had ...

What's eating my pansies?
Shortly after getting my pansies in ground, they almost immediately began dying, looking like they had been trampled by some animal. Upon inspecting, they were covered with tiny black insects, almost like a black aphid, if such exists, and they would eat the stem right at the base so the whole plant just keeled over. I sprayed some insecticide, and I thing I salvaged a few. But what are they, and is there an organic option? I don't like poisons, but the organic sprays haven't done a thing for the mealy bugs that love my hibiscus.
I just noticed teeny tiny black aphids on a little yellow blooming succulent so those may be your black insects. A spray of neem oil will take care of the little suckers. A solution of soapy water will also.
The cut worms are a little harder to manage as they come out at night from under the soil. Look at the base of the wilted pansy stem and if cutworms did the damage you should be able to see where they have chewed it off. I've not had a problem with them so can't suggest a solution, but found the below information on the internet.
Happy gardening, aphids, cutworms, and all!

08 Aug 2012 12:19 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Afghanistan, Denmark, Iraq
The US security firm formally known as Blackwater is to pay a fine of $7.5m to avoid legal proceedings over charges including arms trafficking.
The US Justice Department issued a statement on Tuesday to confirm that the company, now known as Academi, would pay the sum, along with a previously agreed $42m settlement with the US State Department, over violations of the country's Arms Export Control Act.
Documents unsealed in a US District Court in North Carolina said the company had agreed to pay the fine as part of a deferred prosecution agreement to settle 17 violations.The list of violations includes possessing automatic weapons in the US without registration, lying to federal firearms regulators about weapons provided to the king of Jordan, passing secret plans for armoured personnel carriers to Sweden and Denmark without US government approval and illegally shipping body armour overseas.Federal prosecutors and law enforcement agents said the company, which has held billions in US security contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan, repeatedly flouted US laws.The decision comes after a five-year, multi-agency federal investigation in which the company admitted "certain facts", according to Thomas Walker, a prosecutor in North Carolina.
Walker said the probe revealed "an array of criminal allegations" with some "involving the manufacture and shipment of short-barrelled rifles, fully automatic weapons, armoured helicopters, and armoured personnel carriers".
The organisation also faced charges under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act for unlicenced training of foreign nationals and firearms violations during its assignments in Iraq and Sudan.
Blackwater, one of the largest private security firm's employed by the US in Iraq, came under intense international criticism after an incident on September 16, 2007, when five of its guards protecting a US diplomatic convoy, opened fire in Baghdad's busy Nisur Square, killing at least 14 Iraqi civilians.
The company increasingly became a source of strained relations between the US and Iraq and pulled out of the country in May 2009 after the US State Department refused to renew its contracts.
Erik Prince, Blackwater's former owner, had close ties with the administration of George W Bush, the former US president, before selling his stake in December 2010.

Fantastic foodscapes
Friday, December 5, 2008 | 01:51 PM ET
By Elizabeth Bridge, CBC Digital Archives writer
Food styling was a calling I was only vaguely aware of before I met someone who makes a living at it. Until then I had no idea one could combine lard and icing sugar to make something that passes for ice cream but won't melt under a photographer's hot lights.
Then there's the work of London photographer Carl Warner, in which food is styled almost beyond recognition. Dubbed "Foodscapes," his painstakingly assembled scenes recast crusty loaves as craggy hillsides, tropical fruits as hot-air balloons and silvery fish as the waves they swim under.
The UK newspaper The Telegraph has a captivating slideshow with 14 of Warner's images, including not just landscapes but cobblestoned villages, seascapes and pastoral scenes. It's fun to see how many elements you can identify - hey, those cliffs are blocks of Parmagiano!
Accompanying text explains Warner's process, from initial sketches through food assembly, photography and digital retouching.
On another level (which is mentioned in brief), it's troubling to see all that food become mere decoration in this era of food insecurity. Warner says he tries to salvage as much as possible to share with his crew, but some still gets thrown away.
What do you think? Are Warner's Foodscapes an inspiring reminder of the possibilities of food, or a frivolous waste of precious nutrition?

Unethical waste of precious nutrition, and especially in the case of fish, of just as precious natural resources. I'm also appalled by games with eggs. Face it, 14% of the world's people are starving, according to the UN. If that were your child, could you look at such "art" with anything other than rage?
Posted December 10, 2008 09:41 AM
Well, I can't get quite so indignant; all art uses some resources. For example, I could imagine going to a lute recital, but the building of that lute would have caused a tree to fall. The food and the camera are the tools of one artist's trade, just like oils on canvas or bronze for sculpting are another's. All take from the planet. All are "wasted" by this measure. The only difference with this particular artist's work is that the depletion to our natural resources is made explicit. So unless we are willing to do away with all art (and all of our pleasures, really), we may as well enjoy the food art along with the lutes.
Posted December 10, 2008 01:51 PM
Truly a waste of food but the ingenuity and creativity cannot be denied!!
Posted December 11, 2008 07:18 AM
I spent my first five years on rationing, in Britain, and when we came here, my parents continued to ration; all my life there were two things that were drummed into me: 1) Think about tomorrow before you eat that, or throw something away; 2) there are starving people in India, Africa etc, who would love to be able to eat those vegetables (only one time did I talk back, and got my father's hand for the trouble)
I have come to realize that those starving people are starving, not because of the meals on my table, but because of politicians and CEOs who put greed above caring for the world. We CAN feed the world, and do it handsmomely, without making kids feel guilty for wasting food or fearing for tomorrow's meals, we only need the will.
There is nothing obscene in what this artist has done, only in the self righteous attitudes of people who claim he is wasting food. If he is saving 50 to 60% of the food, how much have YOU wasted over years.
As one other artist said, as he drew on the ground, "LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN, CAST THE FIRST STONE!!"
Posted December 14, 2008 06:49 AM
Yes this really is a waste of valuable resources that our planet provides for us to be able to live our daily lives, however I feel that the creativity expressed in these works of art is so amazing! All of the people who say that this artist shouldn't be doing this should think about the things they do to our planet that they really dont need to do. There will probably never be a day when nothing in our planet is wasted but how you choose to help with this matter is up to you and nobody else.

1998 Ford Explorer SUV XLT 4dr SUV AWD
Purchased my XLT AWD Explorer last year and so far, no complaints. The 5.0L 302CID is a tried and true motor and it doesn't disappoint here. I've found it be very responsive when needed and it certainly outperformed my '96 Grand Cherokee with 4.0 I-6 engine. The AWD drive system is engaged at all times and if you have previously driven rear drive vehicles, you'll notice this but quickly get used to it. The ride quality is smooth for a SUV and it also handles pretty well for a SUV. Styling is superior to the current styling IMHO, especially the chrome grille and bumpers. Fuel efficiency is as expected, I get around 19-20 MPG on the highway. I'd recommend this SVU if you are in the market.

1998 Ford Explorer SUV Sport 2dr SUV 4WD
I purchased my Explorer Sport new and currently have 172,500 miles and counting. It has been a great car and virtually maintenance free. After 160,miles, I had to replace the brakes, front shocks and ball joints. Changed the shift motor twice and I have some rust on the rear bumper and running boards. Other than that, it is as good as the day I bought it.

1998 Ford Explorer SUV Eddie Bauer 4dr SUV 4WD
Bought my Explorer used with 70k miles on it and thought what a great deal I got until I found out that FORD has had problems with the SOHC V-6. It seems so much that FORD upped the warranty to 6 years and 72k miles and unfortunately I am just over the miles and years for the warranty. The problems are with the intake gasket and the cam chain tensioners so look out if your Explorer is a 1997 to 1999 with the 4.0L SOHC V-6. Love this truck for everything else.

1998 Ford Explorer SUV XL 4dr SUV 4WD
I hated Ford since the purchase date
because they promised repainting due to
"acid rain issue" but never followed
through. Overall my XL served well but
no options causes a quick lack of
interest. Choose wisely.
Read the full review
Bought used with 89K, Have fixed only
minor issues. 4.0 OHV is slightly
lacking on steep highway grades, but
very reliable, and reasonably efficient
for a vehicle this heavy. 5SP auto
transmission is still smooth at over
100K mi. The cargo space is great, and
the seats are comfortable on long trips.
Auto 4x4 lets the truck claw its way
around in wet/snowy weather, even
off-roading I've rarely needed 4HI/4LO.
Hasn't let me down yet!
My only complaints:
- Rides like a truck, go figure.
- Water collects in the roof channels
during rain, then spills over the
windshield when you first move the truck.
- Tinted rear window scratches easily.

Posted February 10, 2009
Difficult read...for me anyway
I had read in a book about near-death experiences that said "The Tibetan Book of the Dead" described "after-death" events that were the most similar to those described by near-death survivors. Wanting to know more about this, I ordered it. So knowing practically nothing about this book in advance, I have to admit it wasn't quite what I expected. It's more like reading poetry. I'm not saying that's bad, in fact some of it sounds beautiful. It just requires careful, slow, thoughtful, analytical reading. I'll tackle it another day.Was this review helpful?

FITNESS DIVA Crystal Manjarres firstname.lastname@example.com I'm sure you've read the seemingly too-good-to-be-true articles touting that chocolate (dark specifically) is a superfood, or full of anti-oxidants, or can improve memory, or even that it is good for your heart. The question is, are these claims accurate? The answer is… sort of. Despite the claims that one or two squares of quality dark chocolate can "…reduce the risk of death from heart attack by almost 50 percent…" per a WebMD article, science is still investigating these hypotheses. Case in point, Howard Sesso, Associate Professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School is leading a ... Read More »
Why Don't We Just Eat Right?
FITNESS DIVA Crystal Manjarres email@example.com Every day, I inquire each of my clients on how their nutrition is going, and every day, I hear more or less the same type of response from at least one person: a sheepish look followed by an excuse as to why they could not eat right the day before. "Friends are in town so we eat out every night." "My family is visiting and expects me to cook all of the favorite comfort foods." "I was just too tired." "I knew better, but I just couldn't help it." "I was stressed, and it calmed my ... Read More »
The Argo Backs into the Sky
SOUTHERN SKIES By Mike P. Usher email@example.com Tonight, we look again into the Southeast where the ancient constellation Argo, the ship, is rising stern first into the sky. Argo is no longer counted as one of the 88 constellations visible in the night sky; about two centuries ago it was found to be inconveniently large so it was broken into four separate constellations, Carina the keel, Puppis the deck, Pyxis the compass and Vela the sails. The old Argo is so large and deep in the southern sky that it never is completely above our horizon at the same time, ... Read More »
Afiyet Olsun
SPEAKING OF TRAVEL Vickie Kelber Many people have asked me about the food in Istanbul; we loved it. There was a wide variety of options available, both in terms of eating establishments and food choices. Street food is popular. Red push carts dot the streets and hole-in-the-wall kiosks are located throughout the city. For a quick breakfast or snack any time of the day, there is limit — thin rounds of baked dough that have been dipped in molasses and sesame seeds. During the day, other carts sell grilled corn on the cob and chocolate covered chestnuts. Kumpir stalls sell baked ... Read More »
Big Events Kick-off the New Year
COASTAL COMMENTS Donna Fiala email@example.com Happy New Year to all and my wishes for a great year filled with joy, happiness, good health and lots of fun! And speaking of fun, the Smallwood Music Festival will be held Saturday, Jan. 31, at the old Rod & Gun Club in Everglades City from 11 AM until dark. General admission is $10 (bring your own chair) or $40 for special seating. All proceeds will benefit the Ted Smallwood Store, a 501(c)3 charity. Among the spectacular array of South Florida musicians who are donating their time and talents for this fundraiser are Wholetones, Raiford ... Read More »
Sirius, Jupiter Rise Tonight
SOUTHERN SKIES By Mike P. Usher firstname.lastname@example.com Sirius has been known as the "Dog Star" for many centuries, presumably because it is the brightest star in Canis Major, the big dog. Indeed, Sirius is by far the brightest star in the night sky. Long ago, it was thought (wrongly) that in the summertime when the Sun and Sirius were in the sky simultaneously the extra heat Sirius provided caused the season to be hot. Thus, the old phrase the "dog days of summer" was born. Sirius is a good example of a star that is bright because it is close ... Read More »
Viewing at the Zenith
SOUTHERN SKIES By Mike P. Usher email@example.com Tonight we will look straight up to find the zenith. The zenith is the point in the sky that is directly over your head (nadir would be the point directly under your feet). No one else on Earth shares your zenith exactly, it is yours alone. Draw an imaginary line from Polaris, through the zenith and down to the south celestial pole; this line is called the meridian. On the chart tonight the meridian is the vertical line. When a star crosses the meridian it is said to culminate; it has reached it's ... Read More »
Naomi Christmas 2014
FOR THE LOVE OF CATS Naomi & Karina Paape firstname.lastname@example.com Dear Fellow Felines, Now that I have — literally — Thanksgiving under my belt (boy, was that turkey and green bean casserole tasty), it's time to talk about Santa Claws, elves, Christmas cookies (yummy smelling, but deadly for cats), stockings, tinsel, fake snow (what is snow by the way?), glass ornaments, those awful scented candles and, of course, that silly mistletoe your staff stands under in expectation that someone will kiss him or her. For you newbie felines experiencing your first Christmas, the joys of the day are many: dangling ... Read More »
Attack Arthritis!
FITNESS DIVA Crystal Manjarres email@example.com Do you or someone you know have arthritis? Maybe it's mild and more of a nuisance than anything, or maybe it's so severe that you rely on medication to make it through the day. Depending on the type you have, you may find some relief in improving your diet (although it alone cannot reverse the damage that's already been done). The two central types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is typically lumped into the too-much-wear-and-tear division with the majority of sufferers being diagnosed with this particular one. Truth be told, that's not ... Read More »
Everglades City December Wrap-Up
By Pat Newman There is no shortage of things to do in Everglades City the month of December! The holiday season kicks off with the Fourth Annual Swamp Heritage Festival on Saturday, Dec. 6, 10:30 AM-4:00 PM, at the Big Cypress Swamp Welcome Center. The event is a celebration of the rich history and culture of South Florida. There will be demonstrations and exhibits documenting the rugged lifestyle of the area's earliest pioneers. Also on Friday, Dec. 5 and Saturday, Dec. 6 are two evening events at the Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park. Stroll the boardwalk after dark on Friday ... Read More »
Look North!
SOUTHERN SKIES By Mike P. Usher firstname.lastname@example.com We hardly ever look north in this column, and it's time to fix that. Now, locate Polaris, the pole star, by locating the finder stars in the Big Dipper. What? Where is the Big Dipper you say? That's the first lesson to learn tonight: We have no Big Dipper in the sky on evenings during November and December! To find the pole star, locate the upside down W-shape of Cassiopeia and drop your eye straight downwards. Polaris is the brightest star seen before you reach the horizon. Notice that Polaris is far lower ... Read More »
Come Wiz Me to Ze Casbah!
By Carol Glassman When we were invited to come to the kasbah/casbah on a recent trip that included a visit to Tangier, Morocco, we agreed to go, not sure what to expect. A little too old and wrinkled to worry about being kidnapped into the white slave trade, and not unrealistic enough to expect Bogie or Bergman in a Casablanca setting, we did however prepare by removing all jewelry, dressing modestly and leaving anything of value on the ship. Thus disarmed, we followed the guide toward the medina. The sidewalks were filled with throngs of youngish, wildly enthusiastic young men ... Read More »
Florida's Swallowtail Butterflies
PLANT TALK Mike Malloy firstname.lastname@example.com My "Butterfly Gardening in Florida" series rolls on with this third installment in which I will focus on swallowtail butterflies. Florida is home to 10 swallowtail butterflies — more than any other state. They are very easy to identify due to their strikingly large size and their ability to glide long distances between wing flaps. Much larger than other Florida butterflies, most swallowtails have distinctive tails on their hind wings. I remember the first time I saw one. Actually, there were two, and they were mating. I'll never forget it! I still thoroughly enjoy watching ... Read More »
Stay Cool, Beat the Heat While Late Summer Fishing
FOLLOW THE FISH Capt. Pete Rapps email@example.com Out on the water, we have sun baking us from two directions. The most obvious is from above, but few think about reflection. The reflection from the water and the white deck of a boat can be equally as strong as directly from the sun. It is imperative to completely cover up if you want to beat the heat and avoid a bad burn. Sunscreen is the most obvious first line of protection, but there is a lot more to protecting yourself from sun exposure. Wear light colored and light weight clothing. Have ... Read More »
The Dumbbell Nebula
SOUTHERN SKIES By Mike P. Usher email@example.com Starting with tonight's chart, we are entering a period of several months where we have no bright planets available for viewing in the evening hours. This unfortunate situation will last through autumn and through much of the winter. We are just on the wrong side of the Solar System! Jupiter is available in the east from 5 AM onwards, and Venus pops up just before the Sun does. But, who wants to get up that early? Jupiter does make it into the late evening hours in mid-December, but it's February before a well-placed ... Read More »
Just Horsing Around
SOUTHERN SKIES By Mike P. Usher firstname.lastname@example.com Tonight, the eastern sky is dominated by the Great Square of Pegasus (the winged horse). The square forms the body of the horse while fainter stars form the neck and forelegs. The fairly bright, slightly orange star of Enif marks the muzzle. The asterism of the square is really quite easy to spot. If you don't see it at first, think large; each side of the square is about 15 degrees on a side, so the entire asterism covers a big chunk of sky. An interesting test of the quality of your sky ...

Sensational Sharks: Important Part of the Marine Environment
PROTECTING & PRESERVING Nancy Richie email@example.com If you haven't heard, its Discovery Channel's annual Shark Week — a week of pseudo-science and, sometimes hilarious, propaganda. Since 1988 — yes for 26 years and making it one of the longest running cable television series — this annual week of television programs on the Discovery Channel has evolved from educational programs that raised awareness of shark population decline and the importance they have in the oceans' ecosystems to fictitious stories and ludicrous accounts of mega sharks in the waters throughout the world. Entertainment has trumped science, which does not bode well for ... Read More »
Language Has a Slippery Slope
Artful Life Tara O'Neill firstname.lastname@example.com Is there really no escaping the fate of eventually sounding just like our parents? Is today's music really just noise? (I know mine was to my parents.) Are kids today really wearing horrible statements for clothing just to get a reaction from "us" (as we did to "them" 40-50 years ago)? Is language truly a dying art? Zounds, methinks not. Oh right, no one says "zounds" anymore, and "methinks" it's amazing that spell check has nothing to say about, well, about methinkings. Or zounds. Huh? Like everything else, language is, of course, constantly evolving. I ... Read More »
The Summer Triangle
SOUTHERN SKIES By Mike P. Usher email@example.com We talk about the Summer Triangle consisting of Vega, Altair and Deneb from time to time and once again it is high in the east. This asterism is a relatively recent invention popularized by Sir Patrick Moore about 60 years ago. The three stars of the Summer Triangle are buried deep in the Milky Way, and their constellations are rich in Deep Sky objects. But before looking for any of them, examine the shape of the Milky Way itself. If you are at a dark sky site, you can't help but notice the ... Read More »
The Anatomy of a Rumor
GOODLAND LIFE Melinda Gray email@example.com It's a well-known fact that big news, or any news for that matter, travels fast in a community as small as Goodland. It's also widely accepted that as news travels farther from its source it tends to lose the original, factual information in favor of a more dramatic, sensationalized version. In short, minor issues feel like major happenings, especially this time of year. I recently experienced this phenomenon first-hand when what eventually proved to be a routine, short-lived inconvenience was all anyone could talk about in the days leading up to the morning of June ...

FISA Court Reverses Order To Destroy NSA Phone Data 59
from the rule-of-men-and-not-of-law dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
You seem to only recall on of the possible definitions (granted the most common, and the one the government would like to use against whistleblowers):
From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
n 1: a crime that undermines the offender's government [syn:
{treason}, {high treason}, {lese majesty}]
2: disloyalty by virtue of subversive behavior [syn: {treason},
{subversiveness}, {traitorousness}]
3: an act of deliberate betrayal [syn: {treachery}, {betrayal},
{treason}, {perfidy}]
The other two do, in some ways, describe the NSA & FISA
FISA claims it's to hold for court purposes, but the NSA can still search this data while they hold it.
I would think that holding this data:

WHEAT RIDGE —As Wheat Ridge continues efforts to draw a new generation of residents to live, work and enjoy life in the city, a group of community leaders are working to improve student achievement and promote strengths of city schools.
Spearheaded by District IV Councilwoman Genevieve Wooden, members of the recently formed Wheat Ridge Committee for Educational Excellence say one of the main goals is reversing a trend of parents sending their kids outside the city under Colorado's open-enrollment system.
"Ask most anyone, where's the place to send kids? They'll say Cherry Creek," Wooden said. "Why can't we have that reputation, and what do we have to do to make that happen?"
The city's three charter schools enrolled the vast majority of their 1,188 students from outside Wheat Ridge. Meanwhile, the 11 regular public schools in the city suffered a net loss of 55 students out of 4,774 living in city boundaries during the 2013-14 school year. All public schools in Wheat Ridge are part of the Jefferson County Public Schools district.
Schools that failed to meet state standards measured by TCAP scores or had plummeting percentages in reading, writing and math proficiency — including Wheat Ridge 5-8, Everitt Middle School and Stevens, Kullerstrand and Vivian elementary schools — had opt-out percentages as high as 66 percent and a net loss of 532 students.
Eighth-graders at Wheat Ridge 5-8 saw math proficiency scores drop from 23 to 12 percent last school year. Stevens Elementary is the only school in the city deemed a priority turnaround school; as a whole, its scores in reading, writing and math were approximately 25 percent below federal standards.
Wheat Ridge High School along with Prospect Valley and Maple Grove elementary schools either met or exceeded TCAP standards and saw the largest net gains with a total of 390 students opting in from outside the school's boundaries.
Tenth-graders at Wheat Ridge High dropped from 63 to 59 percent in reading proficiency but saw writing proficiency jump from 39 to 43 percent.
The wide range of proficiency scores reflects the diversity and challenges the city faces, Wooden said.
"While the average income has risen, so has income disparity and the number of underserved and minority students we serve," Wooden said.
Supporters say a key strategy in convincing parents to enroll their kids in neighborhood schools is bringing top leaders — the mayor, police chief, city manager, council members along with parents and citizens — to conduct outreach efforts.
Wheat Ridge High School Principal Griff Wirth said the hope is to educate parents about school operations and bring awareness to programs like those focused on gifted and talented students or new technology and anti-drug initiatives.
The committee plans on having city officials be more of a presence at schools, principals regularly addressing city council, monthly parent meetings, after-school intramural programs and increased marketing efforts.
"At meetings we want to get these principals on stage," Wirth said. "Let parents have a chance to talk, ask tough questions, find out about the school from someone who walks the halls."
The group is currently working on a school information packet for parents packed with statistics, contact information, parent comments and also have an Education Summit planned Sept. 17 at the Rec Center.
A number of parents who sent their kids through decades of Wheat Ridge Schools said they have no regrets.
Nancy Kunz and her husband, Terry, live on the west side of town and had a choice of enrollment in Lakewood, Golden or Wheat Ridge. All three of their kids went from kindergarten through high school in Wheat Ridge. Their daughter Annie was a two-time Gatorade Player of the Yearand is now a soccer and track standout at at Texas A&M University.
"It's a diverse community and I like that for my schools," said Kunz, who is a real estate agent. "Sometimes the test scores aren't amazing because they have special needs kids. I tell clients, don't look at just the test scores because they don't give you the full picture."
Denver Post staff writer Zahira Torres contributed to this report.

Spanning over a thousand years and an immense geographical area, the Roman Empire was the greatest in world history. Rome's power was won on the battlefield, and the greatness of the Empire is reflected in the reputations of the warrior nations it subdued. The Etruscans, the Carthaginians, the British, the Persians, the Goths and the Huns are among the forces that battled the might of Rome. "Rome and Her Enemies" juxtaposes the society and military structure of each of these peoples with those of the contemporary Roman army. This book is lavishly illustrated throughout, and colour photographs, artwork and maps support the text to provide a comprehensive account of the rise and fall of an empire created and destroyed by war.

10 things you might not have known about Cowboys LB Sean Lee
Photo: Michael Ainsworth/Staff Photographer
Football wasn't Lee's only standout sport. He was a three-year starter in basketball in high school, averaging 21.2 points and 9.1 rebounds per game as a senior. He also played AAU basketball, and Lee's coach kept him in the game for so long, his father had to ask to reduce his playing time. The strangest part? The coach said no. "He plays so hard, the other kids know they have to play that way to stay in the game," the coach responded. "I can't take him out." Lee is one a select few players who have been selected to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Fabulous 22 football team and the Fabulous Five basketball team.

I'm afraid you were right when you said "dumbed down." A large percentage are totally uninformed and make their important political decisions based on a sound bite here or there, or worse yet, don't even realize the importance of voting.Its very frustrating to have endured Socialism at its worst and to
encounter innocent good Ammericans,who on sitting on the Helter '
Skelter slide to its gaping jaws..Americans it seems are not at
all concerned about morphing into yet another failed Socialist
When I some times relay what really takes place,with Govts that
are dedicated to complete and utter control of the people aand
Broadcasts to the people,tsking away any form of free thinking
as a threat to their Powers,and who always crack down on any
resistance to it? How many times has Obama and his comrades
attacked Fox News for example? Acutally forcing their ideals
on a private Corp,getting rid of Beck,threating Hannity and
Oreilly?? Yet the dumbed down American public lets it slide?
This is all I can do,warn not to get enamoured of being
a Puppet!! If Americans seriously want to be a carbon
copy of Greece,Spain,Italia,Uk,where I have personally
witnesses the downfall of..Then so be it..Its Anti USA
but maybe they are BORED??????
It all started with the decline of educational standards, taking the requirements down to the lowest denominator, rather than bringing as many out of ignorance as possible. Especially regarding history, I fear.
I didn't even LIKE history when I was in school, but I learned enough to be scared to death of socialism and communism. Most kids today just think it's cool to have Che on their shirt because they know they don't like "rules."

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.

Crucial m4 512GB Solid State Drive w/ the 0009 Update Review - Benchmarks - PCMark Vantage Hard Disk TestsCrucial released a performance update for their m4 product line, but is it enough to displace Team SandForce on the mound?
PCMark Vantage - Hard Disk Tests
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.0.0
Developer Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com
Product Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com/benchmarks/pcmark-vantage/
PCMark Vantage is the first objective hardware performance benchmark for PCs running 32 and 64 bit versions of Microsoft Windows Vista. PCMark Vantage is perfectly suited for benchmarking any type of Microsoft Windows Vista PC from multimedia home entertainment systems and laptops to dedicated workstations and high-end gaming rigs. Regardless of whether the benchmarker is an artist or an IT Professional, PCMark Vantage shows the user where their system soars or falls flat, and how to get the most performance possible out of their hardware. PCMark Vantage is easy enough for even the most casual enthusiast to use yet supports in-depth, professional industry grade testing.
FutureMark has developed a good set of hard disk tests for their PCMark Vantage Suite. Windows users can count on Vantage to show them how a drive will perform in normal day to day usage scenarios. For most users these are the tests that matter since many of the old hat ways to measure performance have become ineffective to measure true Windows performance.
HDD1 - Windows Defender
HDD2 - Gaming
HDD3 - Windows Photo Gallery
HDD4 - Vista Startup
HDD5 - Windows Movie Maker
HDD6 - Windows Media Center
HDD7 - Windows Media Player
HDD8 - Application Loading
The 0009 update specifically calls out an improvement in PCMark's Vantage tests. Obviously there are going to be improvements in the sequential tests and we've discovered that the new firmware increases NCQ performance as well. The two together give the Crucial m4 a really big boost in Vantage points. If it was 2010 then we'd be jumping up and down with joy, doing backflips and singing songs about the m4's journey to the top of the hill.

(Corrected) Cracked Corian Sink
We have a Corian counter & sink. The sink has a large crack,
the result of a poorly insulated window, cold air + hot water. We were considering having the existing Corian sink cut out, replaced with a stainless steel sink insert, with its edges on top of the counter.
However, a reputable home renovator informed us that the whole counter needs to be replaced. Has anyone had similar experiences with our preferred solution: replace with a stainless steel sink insert, not the whole counter?
Thank you in advance.
Is the sink and the counter all one piece? ? Or is the Corian sink separate from the Corian counter?
This post was edited by akchicago on Sat, Dec 1, 12 at 13:43
The one big question in my mind is whether you can find a top-mount sink that is exactly the right size to fit inside your cabinet, just a hair bigger than the existing sink, and able to line up with the faucet hole(s)? Making sure of that should be your very first move.
Yes, the counter and sink are all one piece of Corian. It looks like that photo.
Would this be a problem for cutting out the sink? If this is doable, what type of power saw and blade would be used?
I want to be one or more steps ahead of whatever contractors
might say they will do.
I would think that it would need to be cut inside the sides of the sink a certain number of inches from the counter top. Also, it would be best to do it on a warm day as cold temperatures seems to play a role in causing Corian to crack. Any suggestions on exactly where to cut the sink?
Good point about getting a top mount sink that will exactly fit. We also plan to get rid of the garbage disposer which we seldom use. That would open up more space underneath the cabinet.
Cutting Corian is easy enough. Standard woodworking tools like a jigsaw, trim saw, oscillating tool, router, jab saw, disc sander, orbital sander, and belt sander might be used. Slow and steady is best. Personally I would not use a reciprocating saw ("Sawzall") - I find those too violent/hard to control for precise tasks - but I am very conservative by nature; I'd rather spend a little extra time to avoid risk of doing damage.
Most of the cut will be simple; the hard part will be getting into the corners. That's where a jab saw could be useful - being a hand tool it's slow, but that's not a big problem for short cuts.
The corners should be radiused no less than 1/2". The edges should be rounded over and smooth (no chips or cracks). These steps are necessary to reduce the risk of cracks developing and propagating.
Maybe you can find a sink that will fit almost exactly inside your existing one, but I think that's less likely than finding a slightly larger one. You have to consider the shape as well as the simple dimensions.
Since you almost certainly can't increase the size of the bowl very much, I envisage cutting the existing bowl off flush with the bottom of the counter, then enlarging/shaping the opening slightly as required. During the cutting, the bowl will need to be supported from underneath to avoid it breaking away and causing damage.
The whole cutting/finishing job should take less than two hours.

Cracks in the sink are usually caused by thermal shock. For example if you pour boiling water into a cold sink, the material expands and a crack can start from the drain opening. This usually happens over time and then when you wipe dirt into the crack you notice it.
If you run cold water while pouring the boiling water, it will lessen the chance of cracking.
The sink can actually be cut out and replaced with a different style or the exact same sink style.
I would contact Back 2 Perfection or Nationwide Surface Repair. They specialize in Corian (solid surface) countertop repair and can do this without issue.
You can also try calling 1-800-4-CORIAN and they can direct you to a certified repair specialist in your area.
If you have the invoice, the sink has a 10 year warranty whereby they will replace at no charge.
Hope this helps,
Olive Mill

Wolves' Kevin Love scores 13 in All-Star Game
FEB 16, 2014 11:27p ET
As the bass bumped, the lights flashed and the records fell, Kevin Love remained relatively stoic.
All things considered, the Timberwolves power forward didn't make a whole lot of noise during his third trip to the NBA's All-Star Weekend. Not Saturday night, when he became the first player eliminated from the event's annual 3-point contest. He was marginally more noticeable during the game itself Sunday, scoring 13 points and pulling down nine rebounds.
But this came on a night in New Orleans when Kyrie Irving, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin stole the show in the 2014 NBA All-Star Game.
Love's grit in the paint and pair of 3-pointers became mostly an afterthought in the wake of the Eastern Conference's 163-155 victory inside the Smoothie King Center. It was the highest-scoring All-Star Game in league history and saw Griffin break the game's record for made field goals, Anthony hit the most 3s in All-Star history and Irving take home MVP honors with 31 points and 14 assists.
Thanks to a generous, late push in fan voting, Love played in his third All-Star Game and made his first start. His best stretch came in the third quarter when he hit a pair of 3s and found Griffin with a trademark, floor-length outlet pass the Clippers power forward slammed home in transition.
That helped the West lead by as many as 18 before the East closed the frame on an 18-3 run. Irving went off for 15 points in the final period, and the Eastern Conference All-Stars outscored those of the West 40-29.
Durant and Griffin -- who made an unprecedented 19 of 23 field-goal attempts -- scored 38 points apiece for the Western Conference. James had 30 for the East, and Anthony made 8 of 13 3s en route to 22 points.
Save for striking a pose after his name was called during starting lineups -- a ritual infused with a 40-minute concert featuring Pharrell, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg, Nelly and several other hip-hop artisits -- Love didn't draw as much attention to himself. He went 5 for 11 from the floor, 2 for 7 from 3-point range 1 for 4 from the free-throw line and added two assists and a steal.
He didn't shoot much better Saturday night, hoping to reclaim the 3-point crown after winning it in 2012. In that year's All-Star Game, he scored 17 points and pulled down seven rebounds.
Love played in the 2011 game, too, and likely would've been in consideration for last year's midseason extravaganza if not for missing most of the season with a hand injury.
He and the rest of the Timberwolves will reconvene in the Twin Cities on Tuesday for practice ahead of their Wednesday home game against Indiana.

I am logging into a site, making a search query and then filtering the results with beautifulsoup to get all the terms in the "b" tag. From the results I'd like to check whether the search term (Testing) is present. My current code is below. The problem I am having is that even when there is a result and the term is present I still get a not present response. I have printed the filtered query and read through it and the result is definitely there so the error is in the searching part. I think the problem is that in the html the word testing isn't by itself so its Testing.example or Testing.test and so the search can't find it by it self surrounded by spaces. How do I search for a word/phrase within a longer word/phrase.
I need "Testing" to be found in "example.Testing.example" or in "test.Testing.example"
Hope that makes sense.
words = ["Testing"]
br.open ('http://www.example.com/browse.php?psec=2&search=%s' % words)
html = br.response().read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
filtered = soup.findAll('b')
# print filtered
for word in words:
if word in filtered:
print "%s found." % word
print "%s not found." % word
[---, Welcome Back

w all, << Prev, Next >>, 1 - 7, **The.Testing

When I print filtered I get the above result. Its slightly longer but you get the idea. Five lines from the bottom in **s you see the result that should case a positive but isn't.

CREATE AN INDOOR GARDEN These lush miniature landscapes are refreshing sights during winter months, and make for soothing scenery all year long. Follow our three easy steps to create a terrific budget-friendly terrarium in no time flat (no green thumbs necessary!).
Step 1: Choose a Container Just about any vessel with an opening large enough to fit the necessary plants and materials will do nicely. Our favorite terrarium containers include: Clear glass cloches, candleholders, vases, bowls, water pitchers, mason jars, apothecary jars and glass kitchen storage jars.
Choose according to the plants you wish to feature and where you want to display them in your home. Moisture-loving succulents thrive in a container with a lid to retain humidity, and are great for low-light areas. Cacti do well in drier, open-air vessels, and are perfect for sunnier spots. Be sure the container you use is washed out and clean before you start.
