Re: Petition to prosecute Perdock
This thread has been started at least three times, and it's all moot. The statute of limitaions on the charge that could have been made against Perdock (with the eveidence that was collected) passed years ago. If you read all of the history of this case, it's clear that Perdock was protected from the outset. He was not given a PAS test, his blood wasn't drawn for testing until hours after the crash, other deputies refused to take statements from witnesses seeing the nav lights on the sailboat, etc. The whole thing stank so much that a reporter from ABC tv in San Francisco went on a veritable crusade digging up the dirt on Perdock, the investigating officers, the DA, and even the Judge that held the case against Dinius over for trial.
Unfortunately, there's literally nothing that can be done about it.

windstar seats
99 windstar van. drivers seat cushion outside edge is mush. non-power seat. anyone know if i can swap the seat bottom from pass side to driver side? i am ok with taking the seats apart. done it on other cars. just not sure how much the seat itself can be taken apart. pass side is nice and firm. of course it gets a fraction of the use the drivers side gets.
Intriguing idea. The left and right seats would have to be symmetrical for this to work. Before you begin, make sure that the seats are not unique. Many that I have seen have left and right construction due to the outer forward corner having a larger radius.
The other item is weight sensors. There may be weight sensors built into the seats that modifies the deployment of the air bags. Are these sensors the same in both seats? And the connectors?
Please let us know what you find.
i swapped seats on my 79 camaro. seat cushion was the same but track was different so i just unbolted that stuff. no difference in cushion firmness. waste of time. but good intent. van has lower miles but must have been delivery purpose. seat cushion is shot. i don't want another used seat from a junkyard or someone parting a van out. i know pass side seat is much better candidate. its my dads van and he lives 90 miles away and i don' see him that often. i will continue to investigate.

New Fraunhofer crash-test facility
Are modern, lightweight vehicles safe? What happens in a crash involving an electric car? These are the sorts of questions researchers are investigating – along with many others – at the new, versatile crash-test facility in Efringen-Kirchen, Baden-Württemberg.
Fraunhofer crash-test facility at Fraunhofer EMI in Efringen-Kirchen
Are modern, lightweight vehicles safe? What happens in a crash involving an electric car? These are the sorts of questions researchers are investigating – along with many others – at the new, versatile crash-test facility in Efringen-Kirchen, Baden-Württemberg. Its inauguration was attended by many representatives of the automotive industry.
»Our new testing hall is 42 meters long. We assess crash scenarios involving speeds of up to 80 km/h and a maximum vehicle weight of 3,000 kilograms. The facility is very versatile. Today, we're testing a rear impact with a 50% overlap. However, we're equally capable of executing frontal and side collisions thanks to versatile sleds,« says Markus Jung. A red station wagon has already been prepared for the test by affixing reference strips and markers at the measuring points.
For safety reasons, nobody is allowed in the hall during crash testing. Scientists begin the test from a cockpit protected by security glass. The key components of the test facility are the two hydraulic units, one responsible for the brake mechanism and the other for generating the power needed to drive the catapult. When the system is started up, nitrogen is fed into these two pressure cylinders. The gas is then compressed to a maximum pressure of 200 bar. The high pressure generates the thrust used by the push rod to propel a crash sled toward the car. Until a scientist begins the crash test at the click of a mouse, the push rod is kept in place by brakes boasting twelve brake pads. To execute a collision at 30 km/h, the distance between car and crash sled is no more than a hand's breadth.
As to exactly what happens during the crash, that is recorded by up to seven high-speed cameras located inside the hall and determined by measuring the displacement of the reference markers on the car. Materials, structures and components are analyzed using specially developed measuring and evaluation techniques. Fraunhofer makes the data available to automotive manufacturers and suppliers. Software tools are employed to process the information using numerical computer simulation.
»Our newly built crash-test unit is a modern testing facility that meets the strictest standards. Thanks to the creation of this unit, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft now has the added capability of testing whole vehicles for crash safety, and not just individual components. As a result, we can now offer customers in the automotive industry a full range of services for the development of crash-safe vehicles,« says a delighted Prof. Klaus Thoma, director of the Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics, Ernst-Mach-Institut, EMI, commenting on the successful opening of the new crash-test unit

Reporting from California~~
First, thank you for bringing forward an article that may open the minds of some.
In California the "age of consent" is 18. That means that boys who attend school with the girls are at risk. Our son was just paroled out of prison for having consentual "touching" with a 16 year old female who had lied about her age. When he found out the truth, he asked her to stop calling him and her feelings were hurt. I am not saying that what he did was right, I am saying that this occurance should not mean a life sentence.
These are "some of his restrictions"
Please keep in mind that had he lived in most other states, he would have not been arrested and charged with a crime.
1) Can not live within 2000 ft of a school, park, public place where a child might be.
2) Can not go to a park, school, lake , beach, or anywhere that children might be.
3) Can not attend a church.
4) Can not be around anyone under the age of 18, even biological children.
So, family gatherings at holidays are a thing of the past for our entire family
5) Must wear a GPS Global devise on his ankle which must be charged for an hour in the morning and an hour at night. You have to sit that hour it is being charged.
5) Is prohibited from calling or even sending his young son a B-day card. He had sole custody prior to his incarceration. What about this little boy's rights? He keeps calling...wanting to know when he can see his dad.
There are 6 pages of restrictions.
The harm this has caused our family is unmeasureable.
Great article! Predator panic has gripped America. As a result, we have passed laws directed at *ex offenders without a thought to consequences. For example, Iowa recently repealed a 2000 foot residency restriction law for most registrants because the law increased homelessness and failure to register cases while making no impact in the amount of sex crimes in the state. However, despite the bad omen illustrated by the Iowa debacle, states and municipalities are still passing residency laws. The homeless encampment under the Julia Tuttle bridge in Miami, Florida is becoming a national embarrassment. The encampment is the result of a local 2500 residency law, which made almost the entire city off limits.
I have been an advocate for Former *ex offenders for 6 1/2 years and have seen this scenario played out time and time again. It seems the laws are motivated by fear, hysteria, nd hatred rather than facts.
FACT: *ex offenders have the lowest rate of recidivism of any crime.
FACT: The vast majority of sex crimes are committed by people not on the registry, and mostly by those closest to the victim (i.e., a friend or family member).
Instead of feel good, do nothing laws, we should invest our resources with education and prevention programs for the public, coupled with the treatment and rehabilitation programs for those who have committed *ex crimes. Not only is this the ONLY effective method for the reduction of *ex crimes, it would be more cost effective. Unfortunately, the *ex offender industry is booming, and there is no incentive for an honest approach to the issue.
For more information on *ex offenders and laws, visit www.oncefallen.com today.
The real tragedy is that our country has a growing number of District Attorneys prosecuting cases with insane legal outcomes, especially in alleged consensual sex cases. What is most disturbing as a parent and concerned citizen is that prosecutors are able mask gender and other unlawful biases under "broad prosecutorial discretion", which shields these unlawful practices during judicial review and prevents public knowledge and/or scrutiny.
As a tragic result, there is now an alarming increase in the number of prosecutions across the U.S. where, but for their age, an otherwise innocent boy/teen/young man faces a life of ruin and potential life-time registration as a sex offender (Commonwealth vs Bernardo B.). Then, adding insult to injury, there are no legal consequences for the girls and/or girl's parents for their equally illegal acts and heinous character assassinating complaints, even when the allegations are proven false (Commonwealth vs. Jeffrey Witham and State of Tennessee vs. Corey Dehart).
This reverse gender bias is neither new nor unknown to the highest courts in our country as many states have commissioned studies to recommend corrective action to this unlawful gender biased practice. Throughout these numerous reports the workings of bias are illustrated in statistical data, expert testimony, and first-hand accounts (Gender Bias Study of the Court System in Massachusetts, 1998).
The Massachusetts report stated "Gender bias exists in many forms throughout the court system. Sexist language and behavior are still common, despite an increased understanding that these practices are wrong. Beyond these overt signs of bias, many practices and procedures exist that may not appear motivated by bias but nonetheless produce biased results."
An article published in the May/June 2009 Boston Bar Journal included a lengthy discussion of two gender biased cases recently decided in the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court and the United States Supreme Court. The article states these decisions, "permit some assessment of the extent to which judicial decisions today reflect a conscious and sophisticated consideration of societal assumptions about gender on the application of the law."
At least in Bernardo B. the SJC majority demonstrated some sense of reasonableness. However, the fact that juvenile boys are being charged in consensual sex cases and not the girls, is a clear gender based discrimination and a failure of the legal system to protect the boys' constitutional rights and provide equal justice.
How many of our young boys and teens will we allow to be incarcerated, subjected to barbaric and abusive treatment (see Plethysmographs, Masturbatory Satiation, Arousal Reconditioning, Cognitive Restructuring of juveniles) and then forced to register as Sex Offenders for the rest of their lives before we bring an end to this insanity?
The current and potential legislation regarding this entire subject is seriously lacking any real protection of our children from violent predatory sex offenders. In fact more and more underage children are the ones who are being prosecuted and convicted at an alarming rate under the very laws enacted to 'protect them.' "
This insanity must be stopped!
You can get on the registry in some states for pissing on the side of a highway. Not sure how this helps anyone but it certainly brings in revenue for law enforcement which I think is the justification for most US excessive and intrusive law enforcement.
A few years ago, quite near to me, some neighbors discovered, undoubtedly through a public registry, that a sex offender was living on their street. A campaign started to hound the man out of the neighborhood: lawn signs, flyers in the mailbox, meetings. Even though I have two children, I wanted no part of it: it was very ugly and I felt reflected the basest sort of human behavior, hardly better than whatever the man was convicted of.
We Americans tend to legislatively overreact to what we consider moral crimes. Many of these laws are hastily passed in the throes of a moral panic, often following a notorious case (typically involving a young, white, attractive female). Elected officials don't help, by pandering to, and exploiting, the fears of the public. The result is often a law named after the victim (Megan's Law, Sarah's Law, Annie's Law, etc)
A few years later, after the panic subsides, we look around and it slowly dawns on us that, not only may we have overreacted, but that the law has, heavens, unintended consequences, such as permanently ruining the lives of minor offenders. Incidentally, this is also true of our US drug laws.
The problem is, laws are easy to pass right after the event, but hard to repeal. How we might make our legislatures less susceptible to moral panic I have no idea, but it is a goal devoutly to be sought.
"No repression is so egregious that it cannot be justified in the name of the children."
Again, to other commenters/readers, no offense to victims and families of violent sexual crimes, but the "statutory laws" of our nation must be changed before an entire generation of boys/teens/young men end up on the sex offender registry for life.
You may find this difficult to believe, I did at first, but there are kids as young as 10 on the sex offender registry for "playing doctor" no violence involved. Kids as young as 12 for pinching another kid on the butt just joking around, and a long list of teens and young men for "consensual sexual activity" as a result of girls who lied about their age and sought out sexual activity. And men for public urination on the golf course; how many men would this one put on the list. THIS IS INSANITY!!
Worse yet, state sanctioned Sex Offender "Treatment Programs" even for juveniles as young as 12, are barbaric and abusive! These programs use the following under the name of treatment:
Plethysmographs - a metalized ring is strapped around a "male" juvenile's genitals (there is no such devise for females) and they are forced to listen to/watch pornography including deviant sexual activity such as violent rape! This barbaric and abusive device and recordings are designed to measure any signs of arousal and the juvenile is then forced to try and masturbate afterwards.
Masturbatory Satiation – juvenile males as young as 12 are forced to masturbate over and over and over while listening to/viewing pornographic images/recordings, including deviant sexual activity such as violent rape.
Arousal Reconditioning – Originally developed in the early to mid-1900s to convert homosexuals to heterosexuals. Attempts to eliminate sexual feelings by pairing them with boredom, pain, or unpleasantness. In effect, assumes that sexuality can be changed through "punishment" such as electric shock therapy.
Parents, warn your sons!! What you may think is normal underage sexual activity historically left to parents to correct and teach is currently grounds for very serious felony sex offender convictions, registration as a sex offender for life as young as 14, and forced sex offender "treatment"!! And DA's are increasingly prosecuting these cases despite insane judicial outcomes, ruined lives of innocent boys, teens and young men, and ruined families of these innocent boys/teens/men.
The current and potential legislation regarding this entire subject is seriously lacking any real protection of our children from violent predatory sex offenders. In fact more and more underage children, teens and young men are the ones who are being prosecuted and convicted at an alarming rate under the very laws enacted to "protect them."
It is a true injustice that they lump people who are no threat in with actual rapists and child predators.
A friend of my ran into this very thing. He was 21 and met a girl at a bar. He went to several other bars with her that night, each time witnessing the doorman check her ID. He had no reason to believe that she was not 21.
But it turns out she had a fake ID. They went home together that night. Weeks later her mother heard her bragging about it on the phone. The mother contacted the police, my friend was arrested, tried, and convicted of statutory rape.
He has to register as a sex offender, with his name and photo available on the internet. The website simply lists him as a sex offender, it does not say what he actually did.
Now his life is ruined. He lives with his father because he cannot find a place to live. No landlord will rent to him, because the police will post notices on the doors of any neighborhood he moves into. He cannot get a job because his status as a 'sex offender' comes up on even the most basic of background checks. He cannot even join the military, because as a felon his right to bear arms has been revoked.
He even has to go to "group therapy" with people who disgust him, actual rapist and molesters. People shun him because the assume he is likewise a despicable person. Even people who know the whole story eye his sideways, the stigma of the "sex offender" classification is that strong.
Basically he's been given a life sentence for believing a lying girl when she claimed to be 21. Sleeping with a girl on the first date is indeed foolish, but it shouldn't cost you your life.
With respect to your article on "America's unjust sex laws." I am the parent of a teenage child and I share the concern of most if not all parents about my child's welfare and safety. I admit until recently these laws didn't challenge my belief system, however, a friend of my child's father, was arrested for growing marijuana and the amount grown fell into of the parameters of personal use and since he could not provide them with names of "dealers", police confiscated his computer and then charged him with possession of child pornography to trump up the charges and hold it over his head get a conviction. He maintains his innocence being that it was not "child pornography" but just pornography. Unable to afford an attorney, he pleaded out to possession of controlled substance and possession of child pornography. This all took place in a small town in Texas. If he wants to see his children or the outside of a cell, he has to live with the label of "Sex Offender." I'm sure that no one else has visited a "porn site" or has pornography in their possession, but it is a billion dollar industry, so somebody is buying. Not to get off point, whether he is guilty or innocent, this falls into a hostile maneuver which can be used to keep the good ol Texas jail system movin and groovin. I'm not one to take up on the rights of people who prey upon children, but I do take offense to the mockery of our justice system and laws which overreact to public opinion in the names of innocent children for a quick answer to justice for these victims.
I am a victim of abuse and I am also the mother of a young man who had consensual sex with an underage girl. (15) It makes me so angry that the states call these underage young ladies and young men victims. Unlike myself the girl in my sons case did not reject him, say no, cry or make any gesture to suggest she did not want to have sex. It minimizes the crimes involving True victims. They are no more a victim than Priscilla Presley was when she moved in with Elvis and his family at 14. Elvis Presley would have been a sex offender by todays laws. My son was the second young man filed on for having sex with the same girl. My son now has a son and has never been allowed to hold him,kiss him or be with him. My son is no danger to anyone. There is no differentiation and this is so sad. My grandson will be humiliated, made fun of, never have birthday parties with friends and he too will wear the label of child of a sex offender. The general public will never understand that my son is not a monster thanks to the media. Most victims are abused by a family member or a family friend. We are paying lots of money to monitor those who should not be monitored. Our resources and monies can be better spent on those who are truly dangerous. How is it that a juvenile can committ a murder and tried as an adult, but cannont committ to sex because they are too young. I would rather my grandkids have sex than murder someone. HOw is it that a school, planned parenthood can hand out condoms to minors, but it is illegal for them to have sex? OUr lawmakers are so screwed up and they are ruining lives of many with thesse idiotic laws that they have written.
Fixitrob - "harsher penalties for Level 3 offenders"... do a little more research on the Adam Walsh Act and you will find that "just turned 14" year old boys are on the registry "for life" for nothing more than mutually consensual sexual activity with their "almost 12" girlfriend.
I am not condoning consensual sexual promiscuity between young peers, but this needs to be left to parenting, not prosecuted as a felony sex offense with life time sex offender registration.
The current legislation, although very well intended, has seriously failed the true victims and their families of violent sexual assault crimes! And, it has resulted in what I believe were unintended consequences for potentially >95% of all youth and young adults who statistically could be convicted as sex offenders.
Dear Sirs,
Thank you for an excellent article.
When reading the article and the comments I get a clear impression that U.S. government policy about sex is driven by a mixture of hysteria, fanatical bigotry, hostility against sex in itself, prudery, hatred, fear, and a lynch mob mentality.
Instead of chasing ghosts, the police should chase dangerous real sex offenders.
The rational thing to do would be to remove 95% from the "sex offender" list in order for the parents and the police to keep their guards up against the real dangers. It would also be rational to make a psychological evaluation of sex offenders before release and enforce chemical castration on offenders with a risk of recidivism.
To reduce the risks for our children we should accept that pedophiles have a mental disturbance. For every child molester monster there is another that struggle to suppress his perverse desires. They should be offered anonymous psychiatric help and/or chemical castration.
The monstrosity of child porn and child rape has been used by bigot political activists as a way to suppress and stigmatize normal sexual behavior. One example is the agenda of the anti child porn organization Ecpat. They want to raise the age of consent world-wide to 18 and they want to classify all porn with models younger than 18 as child porn. They also want to ban possession of child porn (which is OK for real child porn) and convict persons possessing child porn as sex offenders. That means that a significant part of normal porn (models slightly under 18) will be illegal and 1000s of normal porn surfers will be made felons and sex offenders. Ecpat and many others also want to convict normal teenagers who cross the age barrier in the wrong way as sex offenders (with a life time stigma attached). This is utterly bizarre.
There is nothing wrong with teenagers having consenting sex. Not even if one party is ten years older. The idea that teens under 18 are "children" when it comes to sex is only a social construction by bigot over-protective U.S. upper middle class parents. A global perspective should be refreshing. The age of consent in the US (16, 17, 18, depending on state) is far from the global norm.
The age of consent in some other countries:
Age 15: France, Poland, Sweden, Greece, Denmark, and many other countries
Age 14: Germany, almost the entire Latin America. Austria, Iceland, Portugal, China, and many other countries
Age 13: Spain, Japan, Argentina, most parts of Mexico, and many other countries
(From the map in the Wikipedia article "Age of Consent".)
"However practical and just the case for reform, it must overcome political cowardice, the tabloid media and..."
This statement applies to a host of problems plaguing America and is why nothing will be done on this or any of those other issues.
@ Peg C
Nobody is debating that severe punishment can be appropriate in the case of severe crimes (death penalty debate put aside).
The whole point The Economist is making is about the excessive severity of punishments meted out for actions whose sexual and/or criminal nature is highly disputable. There is no need for blind rage.
let us do the math: 675,000 registered offenders in a population of 330,000,000. two-tenths of one percent. there is no doubt that there are people registered who need not be, but surely, the economist is not arguing that this number exceeds 2-3% of the total registered? that number would come to 16,875 highly inconvenienced individuals. this is hardly worth writing an article over, much less this week's leader. write your next leader on the international child pornography/child sex ring industry and methinks more than 16,875 people will be affected...for life.
My initial knee-jerk reaction to the article's title was similar to the one described there: how can we NOT have strict laws. But I admit that I did not know about the actual definitions that are growing to encompass more and more "offenders" where it is not necessary. I disagree with arbitrarily assigning a number of 2-3% to hypothetically derive the amount of people inconvenienced. I think this is the point here: the proportion might be larger than you think, and growing every year due to newer and stricter laws.
As a mother I am horrified that there might be a serious sex offender roaming the streets. But at the same time, I want to cut through the clutter and not be worried about the "100" offenders that might turn up in the search, whereas I am only concerned with "the one".
This reminds me of the terrorist watch list and people who are placed on there erroneously. Some say that the "small portion of inconvenienced people" is justified by the overall increased security and reduced risk. But is it truly so? What about the undercover stings that reveal serious security breaches? Time and money is being spent on useless, inefficient, and ineffective initiatives while the real threat still lurks. Knowing someone who was wrongly tagged, makes you a bit more supportive of better record keeping.
I am sure it is not all doom and gloom as the article may make it sounds, but this ever growing way of dealing with the problem through legislature has got to be put under control.
Eliminate the mess and make it as clear as possible where the dangers are, so that parents can make a safe and informed choice, law enforcement forces can do their job and keep the public safe, and we are protected instead of living in fear.
A country with such draconian laws regarding personal freedom (as pertains to consensual sex between two underage partners) has no right lecturing others about freedom, or have any place being a superpower.
Thank you for such a truthful and enlightening article. Unless the person living next to me is deemed by psychological professionals to be a potential risk there is no reason for me to know anything about him. Sex offenders rarely re-offend and most commit crimes against children they are familiar with (family members, babysitters, family friends, etc.) If I am going to hire a babysitter or entrust my child to someone, I would like the opportunity to do a thorough background investigation, but otherwise there is no reason for me to know anything about him. I don't get to know how many times the drug dealer across the street has been arrested, or that the guy down the street has been convicted of a DUI yet they pose mroe of a risk to my children and family then the sex offender next door.
By some of the comments left here it is clear that people need to spend more time thinking for themselves instead of letting media do it for them. Do some googling, a little research, discover for yourself where the real risk to you children lies. Only then can you truly protect them. Don't wait for the government to protect your children. Educate yourself and protect them pro-actively instead of waiting for a crime to happen.
OK Mukame....how do we justify that a 42 y/o female(teacher, no less) gets away with 5 years of probation for having sex with two of her students ages 16 and 17, with 9 months of it in jail, and "Brandon",a 17-year old "purported sexual criminal" who admitted that he made a mistake, and would be willing to take punishment for it, is given 60 years in prison?......(please see brandon's site for his story and the report about the teacher...below)
...please, answer how that is a just and proper way to deal with a teenage sexual mistake...WHY such a severe sentence when the "mature adult" that we trusted our young men with in school, gets a little probation???
There is no rhyme or reason to these laws!! They are a sign of the corruption that America has fallen prey to in the recent past 8 years!!
America needs to pull up it's boot straps and get busy turning around this mess we are now in!
@Fallen One: I would like to see your data that sex offenders have the lowest rate of recidivism of any crime. I have always heard just the opposite. Please provide.
However, the article is on point. Americans love to be afraid of things that make sensational nightly news reports but that, statistically, are almost certain to never happen to them. Your kid is more likely to get simultaneously struck by lightning while being attacked by a shark, than to be abducted and sexually molested. Yet we're far more afraid of the latter than either of the former possibilities.
This psychological attitude plays out again and again. Examples are myriad. Some people used cold medicine to make meth. Suddenly, EVERYONE was using cold medicine from the local store to cook meth. Now, when I have a cold instead of running in to pick some up, I have to ask a pharmacist for it. In reality, there was no epidemic. Just millions of snotting, coughing Americans who now have more difficulties obtaining relief.
This is no different. Visiting a prostitute is an entirely victimless crime between two consenting adults, each of which has something the other wants and both are willing to trade. To be put on a list for this cheapens the list itself, and our society. It certainly screams out Boy Who Cried Wolf.
Another great article from the Economist looking at things from a different perspective.
Eugene Savoy,
True, it is a small number (compared with total population) of highly inconvenienced individuals at 16,875 per your estimates, but that is still 16,875 people whose lives are being very affected for wrong reasons and aren't posing any threat to society. I'm sure there are plenty of people reading this article that could have easily been on the list for things they did when they were a teenager if they had been caught. The number affected only increases when you add in their families. These people will be discriminated against when there is no need for it, some of them even experiencing violence. Those in states with stricter laws could even find themselves in jail if they break one of the statutes regulating listed offenders.
But, I see the article on a whole speaking about a completely broken system. Very few offenders on the list repeat their actions. Where is the proof the list has actually caused reduction is these crimes or prevented a crime? The fact is that the truly dangerous offenders will seek out what they want regardless of being on the list or being required to live a certain distance from schools, etc. Some of the offenders requiring ankle bracelets have been able to find victims anyway. Having a large list just requires more resources to be directed to watching the list, maintaining it, and checking on those on the list. It is wasted money for an ineffective, feel good system.
Changing the laws are not only about helping those that should not be on the list, but also about finding another method, one that could potenially prevent crimes instead of just putting a burden on the system.

Suggestions on Shrubs
I am planning a new patio and would like to outline with shrubs. Thing is I already have approx 20 azaleas in my yard (Pink Macrantha, Orange Macrantha, & Hampton Beauty). I also have approx 15 white Indian Hawthorn, 5 Boxwood, Crepe Myrtles, Japanese Magnolias, Hydrangeas, etc.
I want something different for this area but I would prefer something that flowers. I was even thinking of something yellow. Any ideas?
Patio implies full sun conditions. What about an everblooming antique easy care rose like Lady Hillingdon, Perle d'Or, or Arethusa? Or one of the newer but still easy care roses like Carefree Sunshine, Baby Love, or Republic of Texas? If shadier conditions prevail, then one of the yellowish hybrid musk roses like Moonlight, Bloomfield Dainy, Danae, or Francesca might do, but they are substantially sized shrubs.
Don't know just where you are in LA, but I haven't had any luck with Plumbago in the Monroe area. They just won't survive the winter here and I have to treat them as an annual... but I buy more every year so we'll have the blue blooms.
Another favorite is lorapedlum (sp?)that is hardy but might get too large for your use.
Give salvias a try. Indigo Spires will come back every year in south la. and blooms for me April till frost. Lots of perennial salvias available and almost any size, height and sun conditions.
Beautiful blues, reds, pinks and purples as blooms.
Also like the antique rose idea. Maybe thornless since a patio unless you have a buffer of some kind. Marie Pavie or Marie Daly are nice and almost thornless with fragrant flowers spring through fall. Thomas Affleck is nice too as a nearly thornless rose bred by Antique Rose emporium I believe. Also Valentine is almost thornless with gorgeous red blooms and no spraying etc. for all of these. Mrs. Dudley Cross is a larger rose but nearly thornless for me too and simply outstanding.
Cindy (cajunmama)
You might look into Sweet olive, Banana shrub, Virgina Sweetspire, or Summer sweet. They are all very fragrant shrubs. I only know commom names but I found all of these plus a zillion more on google search for fragrant shrubs.While none are yellow they make up for in in sent!
I agree with the antique roses idea. The David Austin roses tend to like lots of sun and care. You may want to try some polyantha roses, too. For ultimate disease resistance and low care, try the knockout series of roses. I have all three varieties and eagerly await the new double knockout in the fall. Sweet Olive, Banana Shrub and Virginia Sweetspire are better in the back of your shrubs, they're kind of tall after a few years.

- Choose a small, domestic bird, like a cockatiel, parakeet, or canary, which won't hurt your child if it bites him (which is unlikely). These birds are fairly easy to care for and are less likely to spread parasites or bacteria than larger, imported ones.
- Don't let your child hold the bird; if he wants to pet it, you hold it and let him stroke its back.
- The cage should be cleaned daily -- by an adult. Wear rubber gloves, then wash them and your hands thoroughly afterward.
- Teach your child never to tap on the cage or stick any objects into it.
Tropical fish are among the safest, most colorful, and low-maintenance pets, but even they can present problems. * Tell your child never to put his hands in the tank. The water may contain salmonella or other harmful bacteria. * Don't buy predator fish, such as piranhas. * As with all pet foods (and medicines), store fish food and any chemicals for the tank out of your child's reach. Teach your child not to overfeed fish.
About 3 percent of U.S. homes have a turtle, snake, or lizard, and more than 70,000 people a year contract salmonella from contact with these pets. "Don't believe pet-store certificates that claim an animal is salmonella-free," says Gary Smith, M.D., director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. "A reptile can test negative for salmonella one day and the next day it may show up in its feces." Because salmonella can be especially severe in young children, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends you keep reptiles out of homes with children under 5. If you do have a reptile, keep the animal and its cage away from the kitchen and food.
Hamsters, etc.
Little critters like hamsters, Guinea pigs, and rabbits are gentle -- and easier because the mess is contained in an enclosed space. To keep risks to a minimum:
- Choose your pet carefully -- hamsters, Guinea pigs, and rabbits, for example, enjoy being handled more than gerbils and mice.
- Before you bring an animal home, make sure it has no signs of "wet tail" (wetness near its bottom) or labored breathing; either could mean it has a bacterial infection.
- Handle the animal with your child for at least 15 minutes a day. "Many people regard small pets as 'starter' pets. They put the hamster in the cage, clean the cage once a week, and don't pick the animal up much, so it never gets used to being touched and is more likely to bite or scratch," says Shain.
- Teach your child to hold his pet securely but very gently. "Kids can easily drop or squish a small pet, or pull its fur," says Bonnie Beaver, a veterinarian and professor in the department of small animal clinical sciences at Texas A&M University in College Station. When the pet is being held, offer it a treat -- like a baby carrot or a blueberry -- so it's a pleasant experience.
- Keep the cage in a place where you can supervise the animal -- and your child.
- Avoid ferrets or wild "pets," such as raccoons, chinchillas, and hedgehogs. "Ferrets have been known to attack children," cautions Beaver.

Ok, I also have been provoked into commenting. Diversity is code for; NOT WHITE !!!! Most of you have had this drilled into your heads for so long it's almost sacrelige to offer any other idea or viewpoint. Then you are the first to admit quite proudly of your broad open mindedness.Diversity divides, plain and simple.
So as your checking my post for grammatical errors and spelling mistakes to somehow erase the validity of what I wrote cause you spell better. Keep an open mind and try for once to forget that garbage they taught you in college and THINK FOR YOURSELF !!
POlease dont quote my statement and argue it sentance by sentence thats so laim.

Operation Mockingbird
continues to this day...
"... In 1948, Frank Wisner was appointed director of the Office of Special Projects (OSP). Soon afterwards OSP was renamed the Office of Policy Coordination (OPC). This became the espionage and counter-intelligence branch of the Central Intelligence Agency. Wisner was told to create an organization that concentrated on "propaganda, economic warfare; preventive direct action, including sabotage, anti-sabotage, demolition and evacuation measures; subversion against hostile states, including assistance to underground resistance groups, and support of indigenous anti-Communist elements in threatened countries of the free world."
Later that year Wisner established Mockingbird, a program to influence the domestic and foreign media. Wisner recruited Philip Graham from The Washington Post to run the project within the industry. According to Deborah Davis in Katharine the Great; "By the early 1950s, Wisner 'owned' respected members of The New York Times, Newsweek, CBS and other communications vehicles."
In 1951, Allen W. Dulles persuaded Cord Meyer to join the CIA. However, there is evidence that he was recruited several years earlier and had been spying on the liberal organizations he had been a member of in the later 1940s. According to Deborah Davis, Meyer became Mockingbird's "principal operative."
In 1977, Rolling Stone alleged that one of the most important journalists under the control of Operation Mockingbird was Joseph Alsop, whose articles appeared in over 300 different newspapers. Other journalists alleged by Rolling Stone Magazine to have been willing to promote the views of the CIA included Stewart Alsop (New York Herald Tribune), Ben Bradlee (Newsweek), James Reston (New York Times), Charles Douglas Jackson (Time Magazine), Walter Pincus (Washington Post), William C. Baggs (The Miami News), Herb Gold (The Miami News) and Charles Bartlett (Chattanooga Times). According to Nina Burleigh (A Very Private Woman), these journalists sometimes wrote articles that were commissioned by Frank Wisner. The CIA also provided them with classified information to help them with their work. ..."

crafts, planting flowers, holding gift baskets, containing
a fruit basket and herbs, loose item storage or as a ice bucket.
Galvanized steel gives these silver buckets their color. Decorate

you can dream it, these buckets can do it!
Nothing comes in handy like a galvanized bucket. These galvanized
steel buckets and tubs are available in hot dipped spangled
or smooth galvanized metal finish. What makes a suitable galvanized
metal feed bucket? Sturdy design features a wire reinforced
top rim, offset ridged bottom for minimal wear to the tub
underbody, side body swedges (indention's) for added strength,
and is watertight for wet storage.
Galvanized Bucket
Galvanized metal is just a form of steel with a thin outer
coating of zinc oxide. The zinc protects the steel from elements
that would otherwise cause oxidation, corrosion (rusting)
and the eventual weakening of the steel. The way in which
the zinc coating is applied to steel gives galvanized buckets
their shiny or texture finish. Shiny finish galvanized buckets
are of the same functional quality as the textured (hot-dipped
styles) but are traditionally perceived as the more expensive
Steel bucket advantages over plastic:
Electrogalvanized (electroplated) coatings are created by
applying zinc to steel sheet and strip by electrodeposition.
The coating thickness is less than the hot dipped process
but provides a smoother finish. When slit or cut the steel
edges under the zinc remain exposed, bare and threatened by
corrosion. White rust or the product of zinc reacting with
atmospheric oxygen and water does not occur on the smoothly
finished galvanized steel buckets.
Hot dipped galvanized buckets are made durable from steel
immersed in a bath of molten zinc. Pure zinc (Zn) reacts with
atmospheric oxygen (O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to form zinc
carbonate (ZnCO3), a usually dull gray, fairly strong material
that prevents corrosion.The zinc-iron alloy layers are metallurgically
bonded to the steel and become an integral part of the steel
rather than just a surface coating. Offering excellent abrasion
resistance are the harder than the base steel and tightly
bonded (3,600 psi) intermetallic layers. even if the durable
intermetallic layers of the hot-dip galvanized coating are
damaged (up to ¼" in diameter) adjacent zinc
will sacrificially protect the exposed steel until all of
the surrounding zinc is consumed.
Hot dipped buckets are less uniform for a rustic look most
fitting for traditional farming and agriculture practices.
Exposure to water over time will cause these buckets to oxidize
with "white rust". Most commonly batch hot-dip galvanizing
is used in atmospherically exposed steel; however, it is also
used in fresh and salt water applications, buried in the soil,
embedded in concrete, and much more.
Although popular for keeping drinks in their containers cold,
galvanized buckets do not meet USDA food safe serving standards.
The galvanized metal can trap bacteria regular washing won't

Zinc, a mineral necessary for proper biological function,
occurs naturally in certain foods and is added as a dietary
supplement alone and with other foods. Zinc is found in greatest
amounts in Oysters, Red Meat, Poultry, Crabs, Lobster, and
fortified breakfast cereals. Other foods that contain zinc
are Beans, Nuts, Dairy products and Whole Grains, just not
in the amounts as the items in the previous sentence. Zinc
is also found in cold remedies as it assists with speeds recovery.
However, some evidence may indicate that too much zinc may
be harmful. Avoid cooking and drinking out of galvanized products
as acidic foods can cause the zinc coating to leach.
Cleaning the galvanized bucket is the best way to insure
it lasts.
For everyday dirt, choose a solution of clean potable water,
water based soap and a soft, clean towel to gently remove
dirt or any other debris from the surface of the bucket.
If this method doesn't remove the soiled area, try using
a plastic bristled brush and an oil. We've used WD40 and a
scrubbing pad to take off black marks. Use this method with
caution because you'll actually remove the galvanized metal
coating with the black stain. Avoid using any metal bristled
brush as it will remove the galvanized coating altogether.
Make sure to dry the clean bucket and put it out of the elements.
Galvanization is a highly specialized process. Sure, you
can temporally fix a corroded area with various varnishes,
zinc apoxy paint, zinc silicate paint, or a coating of whatever
you've got in your tool room. However, it is important
to note that once galvanized metal has started to deteriorate,
it's useful (and quite long, in terms of product lifecycles
today) life is over. Time for a replacement that'll
last another 100 years.
Will zinc rust? Well, sure! eventually, that is. To learn
how to speed up the process yourself read
how to rust galvanized metal, a DIY project.
A wire reinforced top rim and the rings around the buckets,
known as body swedes, increase the strongly built bucket's
sturdiness. A rugged strong bucket handle makes handling and
filling these buckets easy. An offset bottom keeps pail off
the ground and makes pouring easy.
You need a galvanized bucket you can count on. A bucket that's
durable, dependable and will last your lifetime of getting
the job done. We love galvanized pails because they're an
old fashioned secret - quality work and utility buckets you
can use for anything. Here's a list of 100 things they're
good for. have more? send them to us - email@example.com

Startup has a battery for buildings
- Staff Portland Business Journal
The advent of longer-lasting, cheaper electric car batteries is powering energy efficiency in buildings as well as electric vehicles.
Millbrae, Calif.-based Stem Inc. has developed technology for commercial and industrial buildings that uses large batteries — the same kind used in electric cars — and advanced analytics to predict when to store and use power to save customers money. Stem just announced its first two deployments at San Francisco's InterContinental and the Mark Hopkins hotels.
The company is funded by Angeleno Group and Greener Capital, which put $10.2 million in earlier this year.
Stem, founded in 2009 as Powergetics, has 44 employees, up from 30 in April, and has received about 50 orders for its systems. CEO Salim Khan, who joined the company in October, said Stem expects to reach 500 orders in 2013.
Khan said with the installation of Stem's cloud-based, energy optimization systems with batteries totaling about 25 kilowatt hours in capacity, the InterContinental could expect to cut 25 percent off its energy bill.
"One beauty of the Stem system — you bring it in, you plug it in, it asks for no changes. It sits there and watches how electricity demand from the hotel is fluctuating and automatically, whenever it's in the interest of the facility to use energy as storage to reduce costs, it does so," Khan said.

Rest. Make sure to take it easy the day you arrive so that your body can get used to the higher altitude.
How to Survive in High Altitude Cities
Traveling to high altitude cities can cause havoc on your body. High altitude is defined as 8,000 to 12,000 feet or 2,438 to 3,658m above sea level. The thinner air at high altitudes can make it more difficult to breathe, as well as cause headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, nose bleeds, lack of appetite, swelling of hands, face and feet and diarrhea. None of these symptoms should be ignored. Learning how to survive in high altitude cities can save your life.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for an altitude sickness medication like Diamox. Diamox helps you breathe faster so you can take in more air. Diamox takes a while to be effective. Start taking Diamox 24 hours before you go to a high altitude city and continue for at least five days at the higher altitude.
Drink water, not alcohol or caffeine. Alcohol and caffeine dehydrate your system already depleted of fluids due to the acclimatization process. Drink lots of water to remain hydrated.
Do not eat unknown foods in great amounts upon your arrival or at the beginning of your trip.
Sleep in a semi-elevated position until your body gets accustomed to the altitude.
Get 70 percent or more of your calories from carbohydrates. Living and exercising at high altitude can lead to rapid weight and muscle loss. The longer you spend in an oxygen-reduced environment and the higher up you go will cause more dramatic loss. Carbohydrates help maintain weight and muscle by preventing proteins from being burned as energy. They also require less oxygen for metabolism.
