"I blame the parents!" How often is that phrase used to explain the ills of society and is it valid? This material will consider how important is quality parenting, who judges it, and is its provision the sole responsibility of parents – should parents just be left to get on with it? It explores what parenting actually means, what is meant by quality parenting and, how it can be enhanced and promoted. It is of interest to anyone who is, might become or works with parents.
By the end of this unit you should be able to:
- distinguish between parenthood and parenting;
- outline some of the reasons why parenting may require support from outside the immediate family;
- demonstrate how individual, environmental and structural factors can have an impact on parenting;
- challenge the notion that 'problem' parents and 'problem' families can be readily identified.
- demonstrate the development of key transferable study skills concerning the ability to summarise arguments, learn from personal experience and apply theory to issues and dilemmas in practice;
- critically reflect on key areas of theory and practice;
- demonstrate an understanding of the importance of comparative forms of study that look at different cultures, belief systems, customs and values.
- explore, and where necessary challenge, views and opinions on parenting;
- demonstrate how discriminating and oppressive views and opinions can be understood, challenged and countered;
- show how your ideas, values and beliefs can influence your current perspectives on and attitudes to parenting.

In the changing world of family life, parenting itself has come under closer examination. How important is quality parenting, who judges it, and is its provision the sole responsibility of parents – should parents just be left to get on with it? This unit explores what parenting actually means, what is meant by quality parenting, how it can be enhanced and promoted, and how services intended to promote quality parenting can be strengthened.
While working through this unit, you will be asked to reflect on your own experience of being parented, on being a parent and on working with parents. We shall also look at how parenting in the UK compares with parenting in other countries. Parenting within different cultures in the UK may vary too, and the unit invites you to consider this. Important issues are also raised about parental responsibility, preparation for parenthood, and how quality parenting is defined or assumed. However, we are not primarily concerned here with the psychology of fatherhood and motherhood or the parenting role. Rather, the unit takes a broader view. It encourages reflection on the social and political aspects of parenting, how current social policy is influenced by different political agendas about parenting, and how support for families is organised and delivered. That parenting has a political dimension cannot be denied, given government pronouncements on the value of good quality parenting, the importance of marriage, and initiatives to support and sustain 'family life' (Home Office, 1998). Yet parenting remains widely understood as an essentially private activity, in which the state should intervene only to protect a child in certain defined circumstances. This raises fundamental questions about the principles practitioners should apply when working with parents and about how support services for parenting might be developed, offered and evaluated.
The unit is divided into four sections. In Section 1 we explore ideas of parenthood and how they can differ from the experience of parenting. Section 2 looks at what makes for quality parenting and in Section 3 you will focus on the kind of help that may be required by some parents. Section 4 examines a range of different explanations for the need for support.

National Geographic. The Photographs"National Geographic: The Photographs"presents an amazing collection of award-winning"National Geographic"magazine photographs, the facts behind them, and the inside stories of the men and women who took them. The images capture rare moments in nature and the lives of animals, along with defining events in the lives of people everywhere. Many earlier pictures place the new ones in perspective, illustrating how the"Geographic"has created a unique photographic approach and maintained its tradition over decades, while evolving in response the changing realities that the photography documents. Five chapters cover the Society's major themes: wildlife on land and underwater, cultures in the United States and around the world, and science - from astronomy to archaeology to the human senses. On page after page, stunning images reveal the skill and imagination of Geographic's photographers. Accompanying the images are the photographer's accounts of adventures in the field - sometimes humorous, sometimes terrifying, always vividly compelling. Author Leah Bendavid-Val writes about the photographers'achievements from technical, journalistic, and artistic points of view. An introductory chapter chronicles the evolution of photographic principles at the"Geographic"and the visionaries who believed in the revolutionary idea that photography had the power to tell important truths about the world.

The alarm clock went off with a maddeningly sharp rattle. He reached out abruptly to shut it up. He jumped out of bed, quickly put on his underpants and socks and dashed into the bathroom.
Whilst washing his face he tried to recall today's day and date, but somehow he could not manage.
He felt as if he had lost a couple of days from his memory. He gave up thinking about it and went back to his bedroom to finish dressing. He glanced at the alarm clock. It was three thirty in the morning.
He rubbed his eyes in utter disbelief. He looked at his watch. The watch confirmed the time shown by the clock. Of course… Yesterday he took a day off from work and trying to catch up on some badly needed sleep he went to bed very early in the afternoon and set his alarm for three thirty. He forgot to reset it later and now it went off at three thirty in the morning instead of the usual six thirty. He swore angrily. He picked up the clock, reset it for six thirty and dressed as he was he threw himself back onto the bed and fell asleep. He slept heavily and dreamlessly.
He woke with a start realising that the room was brightly lit by daylight. He cautiously opened one eye and glanced at his clock. It was eight o'clock in the morning. Startled and bewildered he opened his other eye and jumped up. Swearing like a trooper he hurriedly completed his dressing and speedily tidied up the room. He opened the window and - as was customary in that part of the continent - he quickly placed his heavy, feather filled duvet and pillows on the window sill in order to aerate them. He then dashed out of the room not thinking that normally he would not have left the window open while he was out of his flat. He was late; he was in a hurry. In the hall he hurriedly put on his overcoat, and locking the entrance door behind him he ran down from his fifth floor flat to the street. He opened the main door of the block of flat with a sweeping gesture, stepped outside and…
The next moment something soft but heavy fell on his head. He felt a heavy crackling sensation in his upper vertebrae and collapsed. When - after a good few seconds - he recovered and opened his eyes he thought it was snowing. All around him the pavement was covered in white and large white flakes were floating in the morning breeze. Only after some lengthy explanation from a passer-by did he comprehend what happened. The person explained to him that a duvet and two pillows fell on his head from a fifth floor window. He did not suffer any serious injury, but he felt somewhat disoriented. After a few minutes of rest, sitting in the doorway, he hesitantly stood up looked up towards the fifth floor and immediately realised that it was his duvet and pillows that fell on him. He pulled his face into a funny little disgruntled grimace. He spat out a few fluffs of feather, angrily kicked the pitiful remnants of his bedding and still feeling slightly giddy, he hurried on his way to his office.
Reaching the Grand Boulevard he saw the tram standing at the stop. He quickly crossed the road to reach the traffic island in the middle where the tram stop was. Just as he put one foot on the island a passing van's front mud guard caught the flying flap of his overcoat and gave it a sharp tug.
The result was that a bit of his coat was now left flying like a flag on the mud guard, whilst the sudden pull made him lose his balance. He fell face down onto the island. The fall made him badly winded and shaken. Two people gave him a hand to help him on his feet. He thanked them and - terribly stunned - he leaned against a lamp post to regain his composure.
After a few minutes of rest he got onto the next tram and stayed on the open rear platform. With his forehead furrowed he was thinking hard:
- "What's today's date?" - as if knowing the date was the most important task to remember…
He just could not find the answer to his own question. He felt like a person would feel after a heavy drinking session, despite the fact that he did not touch any alcoholic beverage for days.
The tram reached the stop at the Central Railway Station. He looked out towards the Station. Masses of people were descending the few stone steps from the main entrance. Amongst the multitude he suddenly recognised his twin brother running down the steps hurrying towards the tram stop, carrying a heavy briefcase in his left hand. He wanted to shout towards him to attract his attention… but his yell got stuck in his throat… Horror struck, he saw his brother step from the curb right in front of a speeding bus… He heard the screech of the brakes as the bus was desperately trying to stop, screams of shock from the crowd, he saw blood spurting from below the front wheels and a flattened, blood covered hat rolling out from under the bus… he then collapsed in a cold faint…
When he recovered he found himself lying on a hospital trolley in the casualty department. He could not remember what happened. His mind was blank. The first thoughts that came to his mind was trying to find out what the date was… he kept on wondering, but hard as he tried he just could not recall the date. He asked the nurse if he could go home. They suggested that he should stay for the night under observation. He refused and asked to be discharged. They offered to take him home in a police car. He politely declined. He staggered home on foot in a daze wandering what happened to him. On the way home he was racking his brain trying to recall the date.
As he entered his flat he found a letter on the floor. He picked it up and looked at the handwriting. He immediately recognised Her writing. Excitedly he opened the letter and read it. His face turned pale and the letter slipped from his trembling hand and fell to the floor.
- "She left me." - he muttered to himself with lips trembling and with a hesitating move he wiped his forehead with the back of his hand - "She left me."
He tottered down the stairs, stepped outside without an overcoat or hat. There was a heavy drizzle outside. He took no notice. He took to the streets aimlessly. There was only one thought on his mind. He was trying to establish what the date was… without success… By now it was dark. The wind was blowing hard and the drizzle turned into a heavy downpour. He was soaked to the skin.
Somehow he found himself in front of the Central Railway Station. There he stopped at the curb side watching the cars speeding by. His eyes were fixed on the wheels of the vehicles.
- "They are turning." - he established dozily.
He felt that the turning wheels were pulling him. He looked up and saw two bright headlights approaching towards him. The light reflected back from the water-soaked road surface, dazzling him.
The fast turning wheels generated a heavy spray of water and thin mud. The bus was only a few feet away from him now. He lifted his hand in a gesture of shading his eyes; he leaned forward and stepped off the curb… He heard shouts from behind; he felt a sharp pain… then eternal silence descended…
The ambulance men covered his body and lifted him into the car on a stretcher. The body was taken to the Morgue. There he was taken into a large hall with several dissecting tables standing in a row. There was already one male body lying on one of the tables. His body was placed on the table next to that body. As they laid him down his head turned as if he was intending to glance at the other corpse.
But he could see nothing… It was dark… very-very dark… Eternally dark…
Later the rain stopped outside and a full moon sheepishly peeped through the broken clouds. Through the wide windows it lit up the big hall with a pale and dim silvery light. As the light crept up on the wall opposite the window a dimly illuminated calendar showed the date. Friday the thirteenth.
The wind rattled the windows. In the dimly lit hall the twin brothers, lying on adjacent tables, appeared to have looked at each other with empty, uncomprehending expressions in their glazed eyes.
© P. J. Oszmann (1951- in Hungarian. Translation 2003.)
The story is very loosely based on purportedly real life events - related to me in 1950-51 - in Budapest, where twin brothers were killed in unrelated incidents on the same day… on Friday the thirteenth… Whilst the bare facts of the story may indeed be based on truth (I never attempted to verify the story related to me) the chain of events described above are pure fiction.

A $2 million dollar study commissioned by Roman Catholic Bishops at the height of the Church's sexual abuse scandal in the U.S. has found no connection between sexual orientation and abuse of children by clergy.
The full report by researchers at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan won't be completed until the end of next year. But the authors said their evidence to date found no data indicating that homosexuality was a predictor of abuse.
"What we are suggesting is that the idea of sexual identity be separated from the problem of sexual abuse," said Margaret Smith of John Jay College, in a speech to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops this week. "At this point, we do not find a connection between homosexual identity and the increased likelihood of subsequent abuse from the data that we have right now."
The question has been raised repeatedly within the church because the overwhelming majority of known victims were boys. As part of the church's response to the crisis, the Vatican ordered a review of all U.S. seminaries that, among other issues, looked for any "evidence of homosexuality" in the schools.
According to a report in the Associated Press, almost 14,000 sexual molestation claims have been filed in the past 60 years against Catholic clergy in the U.S. The question about sexual orientation has been raised repeatedly within and outside the church because the overwhelming majority of known victims were boys.
As part of the church's response to the crisis, the Vatican ordered a review of all U.S. seminaries that, among other issues, looked for any "evidence of homosexuality" in the schools.
Yet many experts on sex offenders reject any link between sexual orientation and committing abuse. Karen Terry, a John Jay researcher, said it was important to distinguish between sexual identity and behavior, and to look at who the offender had access to when seeking victims.
At the meeting on Tuesday Bishop Edward Braxton of the Diocese of Belleville, Illinois asked the researchers whether their study indicated that homosexuality should be considered when evaluating a candidate for the priesthood. In 2005, the Vatican issued a policy statement that men with "deep-seated" attraction to other men should be barred from the priesthood.
Smith said: "If that exclusion were based on the fact that that person would be more probable than any other candidate to abuse, we do not find that at this time."

I was not having fun.
About a day or two after my first visit, the shooting pain in my head started. This is a pain I would feel for about 5 seconds once every two years or so. A couple of days after my first visit, the pain was everyday, several times per day.
My osteopath said it is ideal to combine osteopathic treatment with massage. So off I went for some weekly massages to take the edge off!
I saw Sam Ward at Park Road Healing Arts, partly because this is the same building where my Toronto office is but mostly because I had heard he was great.
When I mentioned the shooting head pain he said it was because everything was shifting and things hadn't settled yet. Ugh.
I had a fantastic massage and Sam really worked on my trigger points and getting things to release. He actually when into my tissue and muscle and got the tight spots to release. He said once they are released, they don't come back (unless you injure yourself again, I assume).
After that massage the shooting head pains were no longer!
(By the way, my osteopath is Su Gray at Danforth and Pape in Toronto.)

Craftsman snow blower
I decided to pick up a Craftsman 88830 snow blower. It is in the Pro line, and looks exactly like the Troy Bilt 357 cc XP model that Lowes sells for $70 more without drift cutters.
It is also one that was rated tops by Consumer Reports (they rated the Troy Bilt #1 and stated that this one was a similar model.)
Does anyone know for sure if Troy Bilt makes these for Craftsman?
Also, I have not seen it yet (not in store), but has anyone tried to fit a 357cc blower into the back of an Explorer? Anyone have one of these? Hopefully good experience...
Craftsman is Sears in house brand, they source it from several manufacturers. The first three digits of the model number indicate the manufacturer, 950 is Murray, 944 indicates EHP, and 459 says MTD who do not seem to be currently supplying many snow blowers to Sears.
Troybilt is built by MTD, the consumer needs to be careful here. Many machines are showing up with Chinese engines of dubious quality.
I have read that some of the larger engines are still B&S... it is hard to get any details from Sears on this model (they list it only as a "Craftsman" engine. Not store stocked... and all reviews I have read that talk very highly of it, do not mention engine manufacturer. I guess I'll find out in a week.
I just worked on a brand new Sears blower with a "Craftsman" 208 cc engine. I guess Briggs didn't want to put their name on it. The owner thought it was too much trouble to go through their warranty service and asked me to fix it instead.
From new, it was very difficult to start. The carb had some matter inside and when it did start, the choke had to be left partially ON for it to run without a miss.
Removed, cleaned, and blew out all the passageways. Runs well now. Found that if you prime and choke as the manual suggests, it will flood. Choke only, was the best way.
Everything about the engine and unit, built by MTD, seems mediocre quality, even though it appears to be a high priced unit.
My initial opinion of this Chinese wonder....if it doesn't start, replace the engine.
JSCoss: I have utilized a second hand Craftsman for three yrs. I picked up the unit from a buddy who repairs units sells any units worth resale. The unit is 1995 excellent condition. I just replaced the Belts and friction wheel this yr. I have Heavy Snow fall and the units has fared well . The Unit has a Snow King Engine since the Original Owner (elderly) did not maintain Oil requirements and Scuffed the Cyl. and Rings. maintain your unit and use common sense and I would believe you will not have any serious issues. Remember to inspect prior to usage in Fall and Lubricate all bearing and ensure proper belt tension , Chain Lubrication etc. The majority of blower downfalls are operator related negligience ..Good Luck !

William Thomas Riker was a noted Starfleet officer, perhaps best known for his long assignment as first officer under Captain Jean-Luc Picard aboard the USS Enterprise-D, and later the USS Enterprise-E. In 2379, he finally accepted a promotion as captain of the USS Titan.
During the course of his career, Riker served on a number of other ships, including the USS Pegasus, Potemkin, and Hood as well as the IKS Pagh. He was known to have turned down the commands of the USS Drake, Aries, and Melbourne by the end of 2366, and Q once said that he "was betting Riker" would have taken command of the USS Voyager before its launch in 2371. Riker also temporarily captained a number of vessels before the taking command of the Titan, most notably the USS Hathaway, Excalibur, and the Enterprise-D, when he was field promoted during the Borg crisis in late 2366, though he chose to return to the rank of commander and remain first officer on the Enterprise when the crisis ended in early 2367. He expressed disappointed that he would never have the chance to command the Enterprise-D again when the ship was destroyed in 2371.Unknown to history until 2373, Riker and Geordi La Forge flew on the Phoenix, Humanity's first warp flight, with Zephram Cochrane in 2063, during a temporal incursion by the Borg collective in an attempt to disrupt First Contact between Humanity and the Vulcans.
Did You Know that the planet Enterprise visited in May of 2151 was later named Archer IV in honor of Captain Jonathan Archer?

Amy Sue Pagnac, who would be 38, disappeared Aug. 5, 1989.
Amy Sue Pagnac's yearbook photo from seventh grade at Osseo Junior High.
Tuesday marks a difficult milestone for Amy Sue Pagnac's family and friends: the 25th anniversary of the 13-year-old's disappearance.
While police continue to investigate the Maple Grove cold case, there are few clues to where she went that August day in 1989 and where she is 25 years later.
"It's a very painful time of the year," said her sister, Susan Pagnac Jr., who was 8 when Amy disappeared. "The loss of all those years …"
For the past two months, attention on Amy's story and police work has ramped up, with FBI investigators, state forensic scientists and police officers searching the Pagnacs' house and digging up the back yard in May. In June, they dug up areas of the family's Isanti County farm. And this Saturday Amy will be among those that her Osseo classmates will honor at their 20-year high school reunion.
"We're always looking [for Amy]," said her sister. "And we still want anyone with information to come forward and go to talk to the police again."
Police say Amy, who would now be 38 years old, could be alive or dead. Last Saturday, Cpt. Keith Terlinden declined to say what prompted the two searches or whether anything was found, saying it could compromise the active investigation. But since attention on the case resurfaced in May, he said the two detectives assigned to the case have received a "fair amount" of tips.
"We're continuing to work with the FBI and other agencies to try to bring Amy home," he said. "It's obviously still a high priority for our department. We'll pull out all the stops to follow up on any leads."
On Aug. 5, 1989, Amy and her father, Marshall Midden, went up to the family's 140-acre wooded farm in Maple Ridge Township to harvest trees and farm vegetables. About 5 p.m., Midden and Amy were returning home, when he stopped at a Holiday gas station 2 miles away in Osseo, Midden told police. He said he used the bathroom and came out to find the car empty.
Amy's mother, Susan Pagnac, has said in Star Tribune interviews that Amy was prone to seizures, wandering off at times. She also said Amy could've been abducted for prostitution, with someone claiming to spot Amy at a strip club years later and at a bus or train station in 1992.
Police haven't confirmed those details. But the amount of time — more than two decades — that's passed has posed a challenge to the case. There also is no suspect or evidence of a crime.
Time, however, has improved DNA technology. In fact, in 2013, Amy's case was mentioned in an Associated Press article on the BCA's new efforts to use DNA samples to identify human remains statewide. While forensic scientists have been testing DNA for decades, in the last few years, extraction and testing capabilities have advanced, allowing scientists to derive DNA from old remains, even if damaged.
"Law enforcement has changed significantly the last 25 years in the scientific realm," Terlinden said. "We're using some of the best experts nationwide to help with this case."
Just two months after Amy disappeared, Jacob Wetterling was abducted by a masked gunman in St. Joseph, Minn. In 2010, investigators swarmed a farm near the spot where Wetterling disappeared, digging up six truckloads of dirt and ash. Four years later, nothing new has been reported in his case.

I am in the process of designing a custom media type for a RESTful API, and have researched the types and semantic meaning of the some of the 'standard' link relations to give my design some steer.
To demonstrate the problem let's say that I have a resource that I can perform standard read, change, delete methods on and that I use the HTTP idioms of GET, PUT and DELETE respectively to implement those methods.
I could reasonably (re)use the "edit" link relation (from the IANA link registry) as defined in RFC5023 which states:
"...The value of "edit" specifies that the value of the href attribute is the IRI of an editable Member Entry. When appearing within an atom:entry, the href IRI can be used to retrieve, update, and delete the Resource represented by that Entry...."
In this way, the user-agent can understand that a link with a "edit' relationship, will allow the resource to be GET, PUT and DELETEd.
However, and herein lies the problem, if the resource state is edited such that the resource now supports only GET and DELETE operations, the "edit" relation is no longer precise.
In order to retain the precision I need to either i) OPTION A: specify another (compound) link relation that supports GET & DELETE only, or ii) OPTION B: specify individual links for each possible state transfer and use the appropriate ones to indicate the permitted state transfers. The latter approach offers precision but seems overly verbose.
Alternatively, (OPTION C) I could leave the "edit" relationship in place and accept the lack of precision i.e. the link would convey the GET, PUT, DELETE semantics but a user-agent attempting a PUT would be met with an HTTP error '405 - Method not allowed'. However, I'm not happy with this approach either as it implies to the client a state transition which is not supported.
In summary, the question is what is the most sensible way to balance link relation generality and precision?

S. James Anaya: Weissberg Chair in International Studies 2014-15
Residency: April 6 - 11, 2015
S. James Anaya is Regents' and James J. Lenoir Professor of Human Rights Law and Policy at the University of Arizona's James E. Rogers College of Law.
Professor Anaya's bio from the University of Arizona's website:
Professor Anaya teaches and writes in the areas of international human rights, constitutional law, and issues concerning indigenous peoples. Among his numerous publications is his acclaimed book, Indigenous Peoples in International Law (Oxford Univ. Press (1996); 2d ed. (2004)). He currently serves as the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples.
Professor Anaya has lectured in many countries in all continents of the globe. He has advised numerous indigenous and other organizations from several countries on matters of human rights and indigenous peoples, and he has represented indigenous groups from many parts of North and Central America in landmark cases before courts and international organizations. Among his noteworthy activities, he participated in the drafting of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and was the lead counsel for the indigenous parties in the case of Awas Tingni v. Nicaragua, in which the Inter-American Court of Human Rights for the first time upheld indigenous land rights as a matter of international law.
As UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Professor Anaya monitors the human rights conditions of indigenous peoples worldwide, addresses situations in which their rights are being violated, and promotes practical measures to secure indigenous peoples' rights, all through direct contacts with governments, indigenous peoples, and others.
Prior to becoming a full time law professor, he practiced law in Albuquerque, New Mexico, representing Native American peoples and other minority groups. For his work during that period, Barrister magazine, a national publication of the American Bar Association, named him as one of "20 young lawyers who make a difference."
Professor Anaya served on the law faculty at the University of Iowa from 1988 to 1999, and he has been a visiting professor at Harvard Law School, the University of Toronto, and the University of Tulsa.

LP gas/natural gas, hook-up question
Just bought an Aussie grill. We had an extra LP tank left over from the previous house owners so I didn't mind not getting one with the grill. The tank has what I thought was the standard female coupling, but the grill's regulator also has a female end. Is an adapter missing? Is this something new? I have never seen a different style of LP tank coupling, so I'm puzzled.
The p.o.'s had gas run to the house just for a fireplace and grill (that's why they'd stashed the tank somewhere and forgot about it), and it makes me wonder - do LP grills burn natural gas with no conversion? That sure would be convenient!
The older style LP tanks do use an internal left handed thread. The new tanks all have the "OPD" (overfill protection device) and they also have an external right handed "worm" type thread. You have two options: get an adapter at Walmart for about $10.00 or, check the date on the old LP tank you have, if it is twelve years or older, then when you have it refilled they will require you to have it re-certified. It is probably cheaper for you in the long run just to do a tank exchange for about $16-$18 bucks. That way you are good for another twelve years. As far as your question about running the bbq on NG, it won't work without a conversion. LP gas is at a much greater pressure than NG so, consequently the orifices are smaller for LP than NG. You can check with Aussie and see if they offer an NG conversion kit. If not, you can attempt to drill out the orifices by hand. There are some places on this discussion board as well as others on the net that talk about how to do this. If you do that, you can also get a 12' Natural Gas hose with a quick disconnect on the end that would fit (maybe without an adapter) on your existing stub from your house and the bbq. I just picked one up from Home Depot. It was made by Char Broil in the accessory area. In either case good luck and happy grilling.
I've called around and found that the adapter does exist as you said, but Lowe's & H.D. don't have it. A grill specialty store in town has it and I think I'll get one tomorrow. I have a Coleman pole lamp which mounts directly to the tank, and hoses which run from it to other appliances (stove, etc.), so I'm not ready to completely change to the new connection yet. Since I generally don't use my grill and my camping gear at the same time, that might work out. In the long run, I might get a new tank some day, but I'm in no hurry.
I hate it when they change a standard like that.
When I got my Member Mark grill, it had the new style connector on the regulator. I had 4 old LP tanks that had the old style valves. Rather than getting the adaptor, I took the stub off the regulator from my old grill and replaced the new style connector on my new regulator with the old one. This way I did not have to buy 4 adaptors or change the adaptor from tank to tank.
As of March??? (maybe April) old style tanks without the overfill protection cannot be filled in California. Wall Mart had (has?) an offer to exchange and empty tank with an old valve for a new Full tank for $16.00. This new tank has the outside and the inside threads so one would no longer need the adaptor for the old tank or to modify the new regulator to fit the older style thread.

This is done routinely in Palo Alto (PAUSD) but not at MVLA (high school district). This item was added to the Discussion part of the Agenda at the request of Trustee Chiang and after a previous Community Comment from former candidate Jim Pollart.

School District Will Allow Giant Picture of Jesus to Remain Hanging in Middle School
The administrators at Jackson Middle School (in Jackson, Ohio) have decided to keep the giant picture of Jesus hanging on a wall in their school:
After receiving a letter from the Freedom From Religion Foundation asking them to remove the painting, the school officials had to weigh whether it was worth defending a sign that had been hanging for 75 years ("Tradition!")… or avoid a costly lawsuit and do what's right for the students by taking it down.
Last night, the school board announced that they would throw away money that could be spent on their kids' education by leaving the picture up there and eventually losing a lawsuit. (Though they probably didn't use those exact words…) [Read more...]

Canada announces details of $1 billion clean energy fund
Climate Change Law Practice Group BlogMay 20, 2009
The government of Canada announced the details of the $1 billion clean energy fund it announced in February. A statement issued by the Minister of Natural Resources Lisa Raitt revealed that the fund will be allocated as follows:
- $650 million to support large scale carbon capture and storage ("CCS") demonstration projects;
- $200 million to support smaller-scale demonstration projects of renewable and alternative energy technologies; and
- $150 million to support research and pre-demonstration pilot projects "ranging from next generation renewable and cleaner energy systems to new technologies to address environmental challenges in the oil sands such as water use and tailings"
Additional details are available on the Ministry of Natural Resources website. The government has already issued a request for proposals for smaller-scale demonstration projects.
That the majority of the money is allocated to CCS is not surprising given the quantity of emissions from coal-fired generation and oil sands projects, particularly in the province of Alberta. The US has recently hinted that it may ban or impose large tariffs on oil imports from carbon-intensive sources like the oil sands. CCS could effectively clean up the emissions profile of upgraded and refined bitumen and preserve the export market.
The fund is also consistent with Canada's Clean Energy Dialogue with the US (discussed here, here, and here).

Re: User-based licensing
Ray Larabie
March 21
Yes, I'm getting a lot of sales for app/web licenses for older free fonts. I think those old fonts, unlike my recent free fonts are installed on more computers and are included with more software packages. The chances of someone using the font in a project, getting accustomed to it, requiring a different license and actually purchasing it are slim. If a font is already on millions of hard drives as opposed to thousands, revenue can exceed that of a conventional commercial pricing scheme.
The problem I recently had was just getting the free fonts out there. It could be a matter of my new fonts not being good enough, but some of the old ones that earn the most in upsold licenses, are inarguably terrible. My guess is that these days, people don't hunt for free fonts the way they used to. If you're reading this and you're under 20, try to imagine a time when people bought computers and they didn't have enough fonts. I'm not talking about design professionals, I mean your average person. If you wanted something other than the small selection of OS fonts, you had to go get some. Now, when you install Windows 8, you get a cornucopia of wonderful fonts.
Free font web sites had 4-5 new fonts per week and most of them umm... here:
The font gold rush will never occur again. There will never be a situation where there's a lack of good free fonts; at least not with this alphabet.

Re: What will the future of typography look like?
James Puckett

Latin typography is going to see many more derivative novelty fonts created with python scripts. Rounded fonts are being succeeded by typefaces with angles replacing curves. As the growing number of new type designers run out of ideas and look for ways to reprocess the old ones we can look forward to countless derivative fonts with octagons instead of curves, distressed outlines, ink traps, etc.. Free/cheap tools for creating these fonts will be made available to end users who will engage in rampant wild manipulation of the entire GWF library.
Layered color fonts will be a big part of the computer generated novelty trend. Expect to see lots of derivative fonts with automagically generated bevels, pattern fills, and drop shadows.
If Adobe develops a decent OpenType UI
implements it consistently across Creative Suite
graphic designers learn to use it we'll see a surge in use of OpenType programming that goes beyond LIGA and CALT. In particular people will do more with stylistic sets if DTP software supports naming the sets. Some people will combine this with layered color fonts to do some amazing work.
Central and Southeast Asian typography is going to explode. Libre fonts combined with cheap computers and cheap/free software are rapidly making design accessible in places it never has been. This will stimulate a market for affordable-at-developing-world-prices non-Latin display types. MyFonts.in is going to be big by 2020.
By 2020 there will also be a booming market designing non-Latin Frutiger and Prokyon clones for companies that want to distinguish their brands with bespoke type that looks like everybody else's bespoke type.
Western type designers will continue to shift their focus to non-Latin type design where there is more room for original work rather than trying to compete in the market for scripted novelty fonts sold at 99% discounts. Every time Glyphs adds another language to its automatic OpenType feature code compilation it will open a door for designers who lack the resources to do such heavy lifting on their own, encouraging this trend.
magazine/newspaper market will finally collapse in the next decade due to continued ad revenue decline and a crash in impulse buying caused by Americans shifting to online grocery shopping. Nobody will be making money off editorial web sites because all standards for web ads will have been abandoned and they'll have negative value. This will cause the market for custom editorial fonts to collapse. That will dramatically change typography in the US and Europe as the old trendsetters fall from grace and are usurped by something. I have no idea what that something will be. Probably something to do with custom fonts to be embedded in spam for Oprah's gluten-free kombucha extract penis pills.
