Standards: There's More to the Story
(Jim Gleason comments)
By now, we're used to building courses based on standards. Most of us would agree that the standards movement has been a positive influence, causing all of us to think more closely about what we're trying to accomplish with a given lesson.
However, building curriculum based on standards is only the first chapter of a long story: How do we decide which standards? How do we evaluate what's out there? How do we prioritize? How do we actually implement?
For example, if we simply cherry-pick the standards we like, then we're back to where we started – teaching the stuff that's fun, easy, or aligned with some competitive event. Given the many, many standards that have been published by states and organizations, we can... Read more

Quiz: Remember the definition of mal de mer?
shadowlike photographic image made on paper without the use of a negative or a camera. It is made by placing objects between light-sensitive paper or film and a light source. Opaque objects lying directly on the paper produce a solid silhouette; transparent images or images that do not come in direct contact with the paper produce amorphous, mysterious images

This was an incredibly poor script. The different scenes just didn't hang together. The acting was fine. But the play as a whole made no sense.

Customer Reviews of Sony BDP-S1100 Blu-ray Disc Player
the product is great6/23/2014
this is my first blu ray player. and I love everythinf about it...
Could be better but it's worth for the price7/28/2013
This player is a great entry level player for someone who is looking to buy their first BD player. This player will play pretty much anything you have in your disc library. It will access the internet to use apps like Huluplus, Netflix, Amazon instant, etc... The audio preamp is a nice one for it's price range. I was surprised to hear a major difference between the first BD player I had and this one. Now be aware, on the back of this player there is only an HDMI out, coaxial audio out, and an ethernet input. This unit does not have a fiber optic audio output and it does not have built in wireless internet. I was prepared for this fact and this player works well! Now there is a usb jack on the front of the player but I think it is for playing content only, not for a wireless internet adapter. The one difficulty I had with this player is getting it to access the internet. Everything set up easily enough, it detected my router and set itself up accordingly, tested and had access to the internet. But it would not access a thing on the internet.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

Ward could only dream of finishing fights like LUCIAN BUTE.
I recently watched froch/ward and was expecting some sensational schooling like a i.e hopkins vs pavlik or calzaghe vs lacy type fight going on what i have read in forum's etc however i was suprised to see it was far from it!
A clear UD for ward no doubt but it certainly was no whitewash, all i saw was the younger/faster man content to rack up another points win, what struck me was that froch actually proved to be the fitter man as ward was f***ed towards the latter part of the fight (he was timewatching and holding to buy time) froch is a man of steel, crazy stamina!
Ward started well, carl began to get back into the fight midway and the latter half was fairly even with froch going for broke and ward sitting back on his laurels..
Ward seem's to switch off and tire a little in the latter part of fight's (he did it vs bika too) i think stamina issue's will play out in wards career! He was tired vs bika and froch, imagine what a fighter with A serious workrate could do??
A lot of questions still surround ward imo...im reserving judgement thus far!
Im a fan but he's yet to fight a slick fighter like a bute or a calzaghe, or indeed a good southpaw!! He's very good with upright, european style fighter's (predictable guy's like kessler) but how would he cope with the serious workrate or awkward angle's that i.e a calzaghe/bute would pose!
One could argue that the wear n tear of froch's previous escapades and his style of fighting played a part in this fight not to mention he is mid 30's now and fight's worldwide! The froch that beat pascal would have given ward a tougher time imo....that being said i think ward's speed and physicality would always make me favour him over froch.
Big fan of both men, but bute is going to be a stylistic nightmare for both men by the looks of thing's...a slick southpaw with power, stamina, good punch variation, accuracy and speed!!
So froch is right in a way... its a bad style clash, he's old school, a throwback who would do well in 15 rounders! Ward is boring as ****, can't finish anyone, and will spend his career racking up boring ass points wins, the only time he got took into deep water by a man content to play him at his own game was vs bika and he couldn't handle it! Ward is a better fighter than carl (but hes also dirty) personally il be looking back at frochs fights in 5 years not wards...and bute has everything ward has and then some.
Ward did not school froch!! He fought a smart fight and his youth told in the end...

Ward is kinda boring.. its true.. he got a lotta skill no doubt, but his fights dont really entertain on any level.. its strange *****..
in fact ward is probably the most boring elite fighter today if we look at it from entertainment value alone..

damn so many people calling Froch a ***** in this thread for not wanting a rematch with Ward.
The same guy who told his promoter he didnt want an easy payday in Nottingham against a no-name and went out looking Bute. The only guy with enough power at SMW to put him in intensive care. Straight after fighting Ward, Johnson, AA, Kessler, Dirrel, Taylor and Pascal. With no chumps in between.
I wish everyone in boxing was as big a ***** as Froch. So he doesnt want to rematch Ward, big deal.

Samsung Dishwasher
If you have one... do you love it... or regret having it?
I am considering purchasing one this weekend if I find a deal...
Please let me know your thoughts.
I ordered the 800 model. I also posted and got no response so I don't know if anyone has one. There was a prior post by Crus? on another thread, but again no response.
The reason I ordered it is I liked the storm wash feature. Also how the top rack moved up and down easily. Apparently you can take out the top and put a sprayer on the back for tall items. I am wanting to wash my HVAC filters, so that is something I was looking for. I also needed a delicate cycle for my china.
One thing I noted is the tines are longer than on the Bosch. I don't know if this is going to be a problem or not. Also the rack material isn't as thick as my current dishwasher.
Downside is by reading everything the clean light kicks off after 10 minutes. I don't know if this is really going to be annoying or not. The current one stays on till you open the door.
I also looked at the Bosch. The Bosch are rated quieter, but in order to get that reduction in noise, the inside is smaller. I didn't want to clean the filter on any dishwasher.
I also tried to look at the Electrolux. However I could not find anyone who had a model on the floor. Wonder if they are having such issues they have pulled their dishwashers?
We have a Samsung front load washer and it is only so so. I worry because the Korean machines are kind of like the Hyundai cars. Junk when they first came out, but they were eager learners and every year got better. Unfortunately they must sell the junk to survive while they learn. Ultmately, if they keep going they will be one of the best, but for now i am not so sure.

*Newbies are welcome to join.
*Please post here it is easier to keep track of everyone.
*I will email you individually with the address to send your seeds.
when you send your seed please send postage and address label in a Bubble Envelope.
I will try to get these back in the mail by Sept 21th.
I am open to suggestions if I forgot to mention anything.
Hope to get lots of traders to join!
Lets get it started!
This is everyone I have on the list so far. If you still want to join there is still time. This swap will close on September 10th to allow enough time for everyone's seeds to arrive. So far we have 10 traders signed up, would like to add a few more traders.
If I have not sent you the address to send your seeds, please let me know and I will send it to you in an email.
OK, were up to 11 traders, 12 counting myself. If anyone else wants to join: There is still time!!
I will be closing this swap on Sept. 10th. I think that should give enough time for everyones seeds to arrive by Sept 15th. I hope to have everyones seeds back out to them by the 21st.
I will let you know when they arrive. Hopefully tomorrow as they weren't in the box today..
I will let you know when they arrive.
If anyone else still wants to join, there is still time. Just 2 days before I will close this swap. Hope to have everyones seeds by the 15th so I can sort them and get them back out to everone by the 21st.
This swap is closed now, just waiting on a few more people to send in their seeds so we can get this under way.
I will keep you posted as to when your seeds arrive and when I send out your new seeds to you. So far, it seems to have a great variety of seeds.
Thanks to everyone for joining.
Sorry for the delay Lisa, had trouble with my internet provider this past week. Everything is working fine now though. I have emailed you directly to let you know to go ahead and send your seeds. I am still waiting on yours and one other persons to arrive. As soon as they both arrive I will get them all sorted and back out to everyone. Hopefully, I can get them back in the mail next Saturday. A little later than expected, but life happens. Hope everyone isn't too disappointed that it may take a few more days to get them back out in the mail. I will post an update as soon as I have received the seeds and again when I am mailing them out.
I have received everyone's seeds. I will be spending the next two days sorting them all. I will mail them back out to everyone on Saturday morning. I will post again to let you know they are in the mail, please post when you receive your seeds.
Thanks to everyone for sending their seeds in!
Sorry for the delay everyone. The seeds are in the mail. Hope everyone likes what they receive. This was alot of fun to host. Can't wait to join in on some more swaps and perhaps host a round robin next. Please post to let me know that you have received your seeds.
Thanks to everyone for joining!
I sent everyones seeds out on the same day. I dropped them in the mail at the post office on Sunday afternoon. I thought for sure some if not all of you would have received them by now. I have not received any of them back from the post office. I hope they get to you all soon.
I spoke to the local post master today. She told me that she sent the envelopes out. She can't imagine what could be holding them up. She said she would email the Columbus post office to see if they had them held up for any reason. She also suggested that everyone call their local post offices to see if they were being held due to not enough postage. (she said she thought for sure that the postage amounts I told her were on them were fine, but she said it wouldn't hurt to check) Please let me know if anyone receives their seeds. I am terribly sorry about this, Who would have ever known this would happen. Makes me kinda leary to do any more swaps, and I'm sure it makes you all leary as well.
Please let me know if you receive your seeds.
I'm sorry to be skeptical... but it's been 2 weeks since you supposedly sent all of our packages out, and not one of us has received our seeds yet. How can it be that ALL of our packages got lost?!?!?! Anyone else have any thoughts on this matter?
I'm sorry that the post office has lost all of everyones seeds. I cannot believe it either. I am just sickened at the thought of it. I did nothing out of the ordinary in the mailing back of the seeds. They should have arrived. I have never had a problem with seeds going out in the past and I have done several trades this year. I have been working on harvesting seeds from my garden. I don't think I can replace everything that we all lost, but I will send everyone some seeds out again. I know it won't make up for the lost seeds, but I hope it will help.
I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, so I hope you are telling the truth and if you are, it's unfortunate, but it's not your fault, it was nice of you to want to put this swap together, and maybe next time it will work as planned :D If you aren't though (cause I've heard that you've had trades that haven't gone through in the past) it is sad that you would do this friendly and generous swappers.
Really Daphne!! I've emailed you when my seeds never arrived after making a trade with you almost 2 mos.ago and you used the same excuse "the post office lost them" you said you would send some more but of course they never arrived either. I am disappointed not so much for the loss of the seeds for the loss of trust, because after all it comes down to your word.
I find it very unlikely that the post office lost that many seeds.
I emailed you when you said you didn't receive the seeds and I also sent another packet right back out to you. I never received either packet back from the Post Office, so I can only assume you received them. If you didn't receive the 2nd packet I sent out why didn't you email me to let me know? I am rather disappointed that you didn't let me know about this matter. I could have resent you more seeds again. I find it really disgusting that you didn't let me know prior to now that you never received them and that you would rather ignore the rules of Gardenweb to nastily inform me of the problem. I have traded with several people this year who can all say they received the seeds I have sent. When are people going to realize that the Post Office isn't perfect and they do lose mail? I am really sorry that you didn't receive your seeds from me. If you still want them, let me know what they were and I will send them out again (this being the third packet I would have sent to you)
Hi Daphne,
Just to let you know, I checked with my local post office and they are not holding any envelopes for me.
Since you have not reported a response from the investigation you instituted with your local Postmaster on October 2, I phoned your local post office this morning to inquire as to your request for investigation into lost packages mailed on or about September 25. I should have a response in a few days from your Postmaster as she was not in when I called. Eleven lost envelopes should not be taken likely and it really appears from your email and the others here that your post office is losing a lot of mail. Mail fraud and theft are very serious crimes and this post office should be made aware of so many lost packages originating from their office or claiming to have originated from their office.
I do hope they find our packages - personally I sent you 30 packs of seeds. I'm sure you would have had a return address on every one of your envelopes so they would be mailed back to you if there was an insufficient address or postage. So I do have hope that they may be returned to you.
Daphne, please also keep us apprised of what unfolds from your October 2 investigation with your Postmaster and I will be happy to assist you with further investigation myself. Maybe a few others here can help Daphne as well by phoning her local Post Office. - Lisa
I sent in 26 packs of seed, along with plenty of return postage.
I looked up on the US Postal service website about lost mail, and this is what I found:
When First\-Class Mail does not arrive, we have no sure way of knowing what may have happened to the item. Only Registered MailTM and Express Mail® items are accounted during their entire journey through the mail system. However, we encourage you to file a complaint of your non\-received mail with us.
If expected mail has not arrived after sufficient time has elapsed (we suggest you wait 14 days from its date of mailing), please fill out PS Form 1510, Mail Loss/Rifling Report. This form is available at your local Post OfficeTM. Another option you have is to contact your local Consumer Affairs office.
Whichever way you choose, a postal employee will assist you in completing your inquiry. Specifics will be directed to the Inspection Service Operation Support (ISOS) office for the state in which the article was mailed.
If my seeds do not arrive soon, I will enter an inquiry, perhaps you will choose to do the same.
Northerngirlz3 and Lisa-
Thanks for suggesting that to everyone here. I have inquired from my local post master and haven't heard anything back from her yet. It might be good if everyone here contacts the PO and complains. Maybe they will find the packages and get them out to you all. I am very upset about this whole mess but what can I do about it? Nothing but let the PO know what happened and see if they can find them. I just find it so hard to believe that everyone here has not received their seeds. I hope they arrive to you all soon.
I have not heard anything about the seeds either. I will talk to the post master on Saturday when I stop in to mail everyone here out some seeds in good faith. I will be sending them with delivery confirmation this time. I am involved in one other round robin and that will be my last swap with Gardenweb. I just don't have the patience for the postal system or for people accusing me of not sending their packages out. You can all look back here on Saturday to get your delivery confirmation numbers for the new packages I will be sending. At least this time you can track them. I would like to suggest to everyone that you should always use delivery confirmation when sending your seed packs that way no one can hurt your feelings or email about you behind your backs saying that they didn't receive their seeds from a previous trade, or publicly accuse you on just flat out not sending them. I have been a member of Gardenweb for 3 years and this is the first time I have ever been ashamed to tell people of my membership. I used to tell all of my friends about this wonderful website that I was a member of where everyone was really friendly and loved to share seeds. Now, I am warning them to be careful of who you accept a trade with or better yet to just find a new seed swapping community all together. Gardenweb should really consider a rating system to rate your trades with each other. That would stop alot of this nonsense.
Don't forget to check back on Saturday afternoon for your confirmation numbers. I will list them all. I know I can't replace everything that was lost in the mail, but I can at least make an effort to send you something back to show you all that I am an honorable trader.
Here are the delivery confirmation #'s I promised.
Jennifer: 03052710000307447320
Donald: 03052710000307447337

How nice of you to contact my local post office today. The lady that took the packages from me told me she would call you back to let you know they are in the mail. She thought it was very strange that all of the packages never arrived at their destinations. She said it's not often that mail gets lost and for 10 packages to have been lost all at once was really strange. There was only 10 because one person never sent their seeds in for the swap. There are only nine delivery confirmation numbers because one person asked me not to return any seeds to her because she believed that I had sent them out previously. ( if you are reading this, I will email you privately.)
It would be nice if all of you would post here to let everyone know that you received your seeds. But I suppose that is not necessary since everyone here can check on the confirmation numbers themselves.
Thanks for checking up on me Lisa.
Hi Daphne,
Just to let you know, I wasnÂt calling your Post Office to "check up on you". My phone call to your Post Office yesterday was in furtherance to my phone call to them last Saturday. I posted last Saturday that I would report back on this Site when I heard from your Post Office regarding the investigation for the lost packages.
Just to let you know, Daphne, there are MANY people who are reading this site and watching your Swap. I received several emails from people in GW (some in your swap and some not) wanting to know the status of my investigation for various reasons. Unfortunately, your Postmaster never returned my phone call from last week. My phone call yesterday was just a courteous follow up call regarding the returned phone call I never received back from your Postmaster.
When I phoned the Post Office yesterday, I asked to speak to the Postmaster. I was told the Postmaster was out and wouldnÂt be back for two weeks. I then asked the clerk if she was aware of an investigation of 11 lost envelopes that contained seeds (and just to let you know, your name was NEVER mentioned). I told her that, according to the person that mailed the packages on September 25, we were advised that the Postmaster had "emailed the Columbus Post Office to see if they had them held up". The clerk then told me she was not aware of any outstanding inquiries, claims or investigations in this nature. She said the Postmaster usually keeps her informed of any outstanding situations especially since she was going to be out for a couple of weeks. She also put me on hold and went in to the PostmasterÂs office to see if she could find supporting paperwork for an inquiry, but she could not.
The clerk did leave a message on my answering machine yesterday and said, "The strangest thing just happened. A woman just came in here to mail 10 packages of seeds and one of them was to you. She mailed them all with a delivery confirmation number on them.".
About the lost packages, I am no longer interested in tracking them nor do I have the time.
I hope that in the future, people will consider using delivery confirmation when mailing envelopes in their Swaps or GW trades, because for an additional 60 cents on a first class mailing, it sure saves a lot of time, grief and suspicion regarding everyone concerned!
Daphne thanks very much for sending out these packages to us yesterday! To me this action shows your concern for the unfortunate situation that occurred here...and that you cared enough to compensate all of us in the Swap for the lost envelopes. - Lisa
I was in no way being mean about thanking you for "checking up on me". I was simply thanking you. Thought it was great that you would contact the post office to see what had happened. As for many people watching these posts, that is great, then everyone here will know the importance of using the delivery confirmation. If I had only thought of it sooner, then I could have saved myself alot of agony and grief. I was really enjoying trading here on GW, up until this swap turned sour. Now, I don't really want to trade here at all. I'm sure lots of people are fearful of trading with me anyway now with the way everyone kept posting about not receiving their seeds and acting as if I hadn't sent them.
To everyone reading here that has received seeds from me in a trade, I appreciated the trades.
To anyone who may not have received seeds from me in a trade: let me know and I can resend. (although it seems that this has only happened once and I did resend and never heard back from you one way or the other)
I have learned my lesson.
Hi Daphne,
Just wanted to let you know I received your seeds today and your very nice letter. I have to tell you that I saw that you had posted on a round robin site that you needed to withdraw because your seed stock was depleted...so I have to admit that I really feel guilty keeping your seeds. God blessed me this summer with more seeds than I could pick...so I will be returning these back to you so you can do some trading. Thanks again Daphne and I DO appreciate you sending them to me and I'm sorry that your first swap went awry! - Lisa
Please keep the seeds, I have my uncles garden to harvest some seeds from and also found several plants of my own that still have seed. I will not be withdrawing from the RR afterall. I am sorry to have made you feel guilty, that was not my intention. To be really honest with everyone here, I just didn't want to deal with the hassle of everything that went on here again. After reading the kind posts of the members involved with the RR I am in, I have decided to stay. My seeds will always be with Delivery Confirmation after this though and I would like to suggest to everyone here that they utilize it. It is a small $.60 price to pay for your own piece of mind.
Again, Please keep the seeds I sent, I wouldn't have sent them if I didn't want everyone to have them. I will just grow more. That's the beauty of gardening. Nurture the plants and they keep us trading all winter. It's a year long event for me. I do still have the seeds I was saving for myself and I'm sure I can divide them up a little for the swap. Thank you for offering to send them back, but it would break my heart if you didn't keep them.
Daphne, just bumping this up a little. I will post as soon as I receive the seeds. I remember my first plant trade I did last year. The lady lived about one hour away from me. We sent the boxes on the same day and e-mailed each other that it's on the way. She sent hers by reg. mail and I received it on the third day. Mine was sent out priority and after a week she still did not receive the box. I felt so bad that I resend another box, this time priority with DC. She received the second box two days later and the first one arrived after three weeks at her house. I learned my lesson, since that happened I mail all my boxes with DC#. I think I will start using a DC# for my envie's also. I will trade with you anytime, just e-mail me if you see anything you would like to have.
Deanie :)
I am sorry you have not received your package yet. I will go to the post office on Saturday morning and see what I can find out for you. If you receive them before then, please let me know. I would go sooner, but with my work schedule, I won't be home when the window is open until Saturday. Thank you for posting here to let us all know you have not received yet.
I am so glad you received the package. I wonder what was keeping it so long. Thank you for still wanting to trade with me. That means alot to me.
I still have hopes that one day the first run of packages I sent you all will arrive at their destinations. Please let me know if they do arrive to anyone.

Memorable Encounters with the Water Hazard Rule
Increase your own familiarity with Rule 26 by revisiting these three famous incidents
A watery grave, dunked, in the drink, or simply wet; no matter which slang term you choose, it means your golf ball has ended up within the margins of a water hazard. Generally an undesirable experience for the player involved, it's also a situation that has led to several memorable golf moments.
The Rules of Golf provide several options when your ball finds a water hazard. Several short animations available on the USGA Web site, www.usga.org, offer great explanations of the relief procedures for a ball that comes to rest in a water hazard (yellow stakes and/or lines) or in a lateral water hazard (red stakes and/or lines). Even the world's best players have dealt with Rule 26. Memorable examples from the PGA Tour and major championships include the following three incidents from which all golfers can learn.
During the first round of the 2005 Masters, Tiger Woods was on the back of the 13th green facing a downhill, 60-foot eagle putt. The slick green and lack of rough on the bank of Rae's Creek behind the hole deceived Woods. His putt rolled past the hole and into the creek. Woods' knowledge of his options under the water-hazard rule - in this case stroke and distance - came in handy as he replaced his ball on the green with a one-stroke penalty. Much wiser as to how that putt should be played the second time around, Woods stroked his fifth shot to tap-in range en route to a bogey 6 and an opening-round 74. Woods shook off his pedestrian first-round score and performed quite admirably over the next 54 holes to claim his fourth green jacket.
Another memorable water-hazard incident, one that highlights two other ways to proceed under Rule 26, occurred during the final round of the 1999 British Open at Carnoustie Golf Links in Scotland. Frenchman Jean Van de Velde needed only a 6 at the 72nd hole to claim the Claret Jug. Instead he enthralled millions of television viewers with one of the most famous meltdowns in golf history. Teeing off on the difficult par-4 "Home" hole, he hit an average drive, then decided to go for the green with his second shot rather than conservatively laying up short of Barry Burn, a water hazard that crosses in front of the green. That shot was pushed to the right and ricocheted off the grandstand and into a very bad lie in the tall rough in front of Barry Burn. His third shot was chunked into Barry Burn.
Van de Velde considered hitting the ball from its semi-submerged lie in the shallow, slow-moving stream, without penalty, as the rule allows. But after taking off his shoes and socks and rolling up his slacks to wade into the streambed, he ultimately opted to take relief with a one-stroke penalty, keeping the point where the ball last crossed the margin of the hazard between the hole and the spot on which the ball was dropped. After his drop and next stroke, Van de Velde's ball ended up in a bunker. He played his fifth shot from the sand converted his 6-footer for a triple-bogey 7 - still good enough to make it into a three-way playoff with American Justin Leonard and Scotsman Paul Lawrie, the eventual champion.
Finally, no discussion on water hazards can conclude without an account from one of the most famous holes in golf - the par-3 17th at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. During the 1999 Players Championship, Fred Couples' tee shot was short of the island green and in the water. Couples decided to use the "stroke and distance" option of the water-hazard rule and played again from within the teeing ground with a one-stroke penalty. His next shot amazingly found the hole for a rather unconventional par!
As one can see, a variety of options are available to golfers who hit their ball into a water hazard. By understanding these options under the Rules of Golf, golfers can make the best of an otherwise soggy situation.

City Council aims for less talk, more action

It's ironic that Scharff and Klein claim that fair and transparent public hearings are what stifles democracy.
Scharff has a pro-development agenda. He is putting rules in place that allow him to silence Council Members who do not share his values. Those who favor his outcomes unfairly get extra time for questions and comments. As Mayor, he controls the agenda, he works closely with city staff to make his desired recommendations, and then he minimizes the public discussion of other perspectives. This is not democracy!
The quality of a decision should not just be measures by the time it takes or the number of words. Outcomes should be judged by the soundness of the decisions and the cost/benefits for the City, including taxpayers!

Scharff is a real estate attorney and has worked for a major national developer.
Klein is a trust and estate attorney, helping the rich safeguard their wealth.
That's where their values are, nothing hidden about it.

Let sleeping dogs sleep. Do you want to hasten your own arrest?
7 lawyers agreed with this answer
In Texas, if the assault involved a family member and was dismissed via completion of deferred adjudication you will never be able to remove it from your record, even if it was dropped to a class c misdemeanor. However if it was just a simple assault dismissed thru sucessful completion of deferred adjudication you are able to hide the public record by filing a certificate of non-disclosure.
4 lawyers agreed with this answer
If the other kids didn't see the slap then they will be limited to collateral issues and not the case in chief - did she or didn't she slap the kid. Assault of a child enhanced by a previous assault is very serious and has the potential for significant jail time. Hire a lawyer as soon as possible!
4 lawyers agreed with this answer
You can wait, cross your fingers, set it for trial and hope the arresting officer does not show. Most courts will dismiss if the cop doesn't show. However, the court might reset the case requiring you to show countless times thus wasting many hours of your cherished time. If you hire a strong attorney the court will be less inclined to bully you, which, in the long run will save you money,not to mention saving your reputation as well. Good luck!
5 lawyers agreed with this answer
Pretrial diversion is a contact with he sentencing court that you will stay out out of trouble for a year. Being sexually assaulted doesn't give the victim a license to steal. You might come up with a better reason for your arrest, otherwise you run the risk of angering the judge and prosecutor.
2 lawyers agreed with this answer
Send threatening letters to the various search engines along with the court order expunging the records.

It never hurts to ask. I know this sounds ridiculous but I've asked for the world from an Ada's and sometimes got everything I asked for!
1 lawyer agreed with this answer
Sounds to me like you are truly indigent. If the judge made you sign an indigent question and answer sheet, under oath, then you should be taken at your word and assigned a public defender. In this case it could be the judge didn't believe you or didn't like your attitude. As long as you've been truthful I'd give it another shot. Good luck!
2 lawyers agreed with this answer
Go back to the original court order, read it then ask yourself, did she violate any of the provisions? If she did, bring it to the attention of the presiding judge via your lawyer. In regards to the injunction or is it a protective order, gather as many witnesses as you can, woodshed them and set it for a hearing as long as they can back up your evidence. Don't tally on this as time is of the essence.
2 lawyers agreed with this answer
Yes. Just one of the collateral consequences could be the suspension of your driving privileges for a year. Hire a lawyer!

To see the daughter of Zion gone astray, so far from Torah's way,
to see the tears of captive Zion, when she could have called out to Judah's lion.
Does she not know that he came to set captives free, and open blind eyes to see?
.and Yeshua wept.
Oh Yerushalayim, who murdered the prophets who spoke of me, you had the
Torah which pointed me out to thee.
..and Yeshua wept.
I AM who I AM, the Son of David of Bethlehem came, to open blind eyes and to
heal the lame. To do these things only Messiah can. Wake up! Wake up! Oh Zion
for I AM the Son of Man.
...and Yeshua weeps
for the stone cold hearts and strange beliefs, for Messiah came once as foretold,
by the holy prophets of old, as Adonai's sacrificial lamb, and will come again, as the
Lion of Judah, to rule the land.
Oh Israel, Oh Israel can't you see? Can't you see? I opened my arms with love, on
Calvary's tree, to receive all of you unto me.
...and Yeshua still weeps
for those who still have hearts of stone, for those who reject him, for all eternity,
will live alone, unto outer darkness they will be cast, condemnation for Jew and Gentile alike, and for ever it will last.
So come all ye people come, to Judah's Messiah, time is short, so ye had better run.
Run to the cross on Calvary's hill, to He who gave his life, whose blood he did spill.
He bleed for you and me, to save our souls, from sin to make us free.

I am unfamiliar with the Suzuki product but the Pontiac Aztec is the ugliest, gayest piece of iron I've ever seen come out of Detroit. Including the AMC Javelin.
That x-90 is a metrosexuals wet dream for a car.
The Aztech has to be one of the ugliest cars ever made. I can't believe it made it thru all the stages of design and review without someone just saying, "guys, that thing is UGLY. I've flushed better looking things then that. Why don't we start fresh?"
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline...
"the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
I say x-90. The Aztec was at least practical if you could get past the appearance. The x-90 was ugly and useless.
There are hundreds of millions of gun owners in this country, and not one of them will have an accident today. The only misuse of guns comes in environments where there are drugs, alcohol, bad parents, and undisciplined children. Period. Ted Nugent
the spoiler really pulls that clown car together lol
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith
The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things...
"I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
I knew a guy yes a GUY that had one. He would get so pissed when we would make fun of it.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
Oh Gello, just need to make sure you hide the bud vase under the seat!
It's like paradise on Earth, enriched with the ever so sweet nectar of
elk urine.
When you're out there by yourself, you become who you really are.

Pillar Candles
I'm trying to figure out how make a lot of the candles you see here on this candle site. I also would like to know how they are able to make all of these different pillar candles.
I know I want them to be plain unscented pillar candles (that is the main reason I am posting -- I have found lots of places that make the smelly ones, but I really want them to be plain unscented pillar candles).
Thanks, and any help would be great!
If there is a good craft store in your area (such as Michael's, A.C. Moore or Pearl Paint) you should be able to get the materials you need. You will need a candle mold (They make them in the shape you want), some wicking, some parrafin wax and a pot to melt it in. Parrafin wax is white, so you just have to melt it and not add any scent ot color.
One hint- As wax hardens, it contracts. This will leave an indent in the candle, around the wick. If this bothers you, melt a little more wax, to fill it n, after it sets.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for the ideas! I've been reading all over the internet and I really like the way those pillar candles look. Thanks again!
Best place I can send you for Pillar making supplies and a fabulous expert on the making of them is Lyschel of Candle Cocoon.
She has all the supplies you'd need..(and much better quality and price than a craft store) And she makes beautiful candles herself.

The Space
Welcome to the Baker Penthouse! The Penthouse is our home. As Airbnb hosts, we believe that sharing spaces creates a more personal and positive experience for travelers! The Penthouse is that experience. We keep it really relaxed here and welcome travelers who want to create their "home" experience away from home. We are situated in San Francisco's hippest and most central neighborhood known as NOPA.
We are offering the spare master bedroom with private bathroom. This bedroom is the largest in the flat and has been called "another apartment in itself" from fellow guests. The room has 2 beds: a comfortable queen bed (memory foam, medium firm mattress, sleeps 2), and a full size day bed (memory foam, medium firm mattress, sleeps 2). There is a work desk with Apple Monitor, air purifier and record/mp3 player. Closet space and iron and board provided. Fresh towels, shampoo/conditioner, and hair dryer are available in the bathroom. Super fast wireless internet access is provided throughout the house.
The Penthouse Flat:
2500 sq ft of space in a super charming Victorian dating from the 1900's. We have the entire top floor of the building accessed from 3 flights of stairs (sorry, no elevators, just stairs). Centrally located in NOPA: Home to the famous Golden Gate Park, Haight Street, some of the city's best dining, drinking and live music, Alamo Square, and the Divisadero Farmers' Market. The flat is fully renovated with a large chef's kitchen, washer/dryer, reading and meditation area, office/work areas and living room.
About the Hosts:
Nadia and Kristy are a couple and share a bedroom on the opposite end of the penthouse. Nadia is a yogi, teacher, and life coach. Kristy, a caregiver to families with children, has lived in San Francisco for over 4 years and has the local perspective on what's good to see, eat and do during your visit. Juneau is our beloved penthouse pup. She is shy at first, but is very sweet and loves belly rubs.
Guest Access
Shared kitchen and dining space
Shared living and working spaces
Shared laundry
Street side parking where available
Massage table -- call in a therapist to come to the house!
Interaction with Guests
Someone will be present to check you in and help assist where needed to make your stay a happy one!
When we are home, we keep mostly to the other side of the flat. We are available anytime you and your guests need us.
The room is very private and you will have building access 24/7.
Getting around
This town was made for walking! And being right in the center, walking is probably one of the best ways to get around. Street parking is available (pay attention to street cleaning signs!) and the apartment is a quick 10-15 minute Muni/cab ride to most locations in the downtown/SOMA area.
Those with a car: there is free street side parking. If you're lucky you will find spots in front of the house, if not then Golden Gate Park is just 3 blocks down & always has parking, making it a nice walk back to the house. Just always be sure to check all signs because it's really easy to get a ticket here if you don't pay careful attention!
Other Things to Note
If you would like to make special arrangements to stay only one night, please send us an email so we can discuss your plans and see if your dates work for us. Thanks!

There is presently scaffolding around the building. Our apartment (including the master suite) remains untouched. Painters were here painting the exterior back in November and the scaffolding hasn't come down yet. Painters have been here maybe 5-10 times from Dec. until now, doing touch-ups and cleaning the windows. There are potential future plans for replacing some of the windows in the building, but for now the scaffolding feels more like an art installation or urban building decoration. Please let us know if you have any questions about this!
This was my first experience with a stay at airbnb. The bedroom & bathroom were as promised, clean and private. The location is convenient. Parking is reasonable. The hostess, Kristy & Nadia, were gracious and accommodating, especially in providing useful local information. I would definitely return when my travels take me to San Francisco.
Everything was easy at Kristy and Nadias appartment. Easy liasing with them beforehand and on arrival. It was a shame the building and appartment were under scaffolding and a drape which spoiled the "victorian" experience, just our bad luck. Very convenient neighbourhood for getting around and lots on offer locally. Divisidero St is buzzing. The master bedroom was spacious and beds comfortable, use of rest of appartment was easy altho we weren't around much. All in all happy with our stay in NOPA and the penthouse.
Kristy and Nadia were great! They were friendly and helpful, and my trip to San Francisco was enhanced by staying at their beautiful apartment. It's in a great neighbourhood, walking distance from some amazing restaurants on Divisadero. A lovely place to spend time after exploring the city. Would definitely recommend staying here!
Really nice apartment in a great location, with lots of restaurant/bars/cafe's nearby. Was a great base for exploring San Francisco. Kristy & Nadia were friendly and welcoming. Thanks!
Thank you so much, dear Kristy and Nadia, for this lovely stay! I really loved your apartment, the huge bedroom, the charming bathroom, the great neighborhood & central location! And of course our inspiring talks which I hope we can continue someday! It was definitely one of my best AirBnB experiences ever! All the best to you girls and to little dog Juneau that I miss already!
Nadia and Kristy have been great hosts. Very helpful and friendly but not intrusive! The apartment/penthouse is amazing and really unique! Our room was very spacious and there could have fit 4 people in it. Everything was very clean and we even had a fireplace! We would have been able to use everything but we were out almost the entire time. So great stay with great people!
We had a lovely stay at Kristy & Nadia's penthouse. The place itself was incredible! Spacious, comfortable and well situated for exploring San Fran. Our hosts were super helpful and friendly. A great experience overall.

Have to trade: Tropical Tassel Fern
I have a cool plant for trade. It can be used as a terrarium plant, especially in a larger tank.
Tropical Tassel Ferns are Huperzia (used to be Lycopodium). They are #1 Tropical #2 require fairly high humidity #3 very hard to come by #4 expensive
Here is a photo of the one I have available. Its in the clay pot behind the Metallic Fern. Its well rooted and established in a 3" plastic pot set into the clay pot. It has 2 arms that are at least 8" long each and branching.
The plant was propagated from this mother plant:
I am interested mainly in HOYAS. Specifically:
affinis var Dark Form
archboldiana YM excellent
macgillivrayi x archboldiana
I would take at least 2 node cuttings of any three
Or, you can make an offer of other hoyas, or other plants
Due to agricultural laws, I cannot send this plant to the states of HI, CA, AZ, TX, LA or the Territory of Puerto Rico
Its a moot point, I wouldn't send it to CA. Ever since I received a nasty letter from the CA Dept of Agriculture stating that I had violated their Agricultural statutes over a trade plant I sent that they confiscated and quarantined, CA and all the other "picky" states are definitely off my list.
It violates their nematode quarantine law, even though its an epiphyte that has been grown the required 18+ inches off the ground, on several points:
It's being grown on a property that has not been inspected, tested and deemed nematode free
It's growing in media that wasn't stored according to CA's stringent requirements (IE, the bags were stored on the ground, not OFF the ground) so the media isn;t considered sterile
It's growing in an area of mixed use where plants around it are potted in "dirty" soil
The convoluted Agricultural regulations of some of the "food producing" states are just too nuch for me to deal with, so CA, HI, TX, LA, AZ and PR are just, well, "out".
The ironic thing is, the plant I received the letter over WAS grown under almost ALL of the above conditions. Go figure.

Do You Want Me? What's the Matter?
Search this site
Follow Us
You think our love might be a tomb,
The only exit through my pain?
You'd rather put things off again
To give your fantasies some room?
You think: she's great, but in a while
I might get bored? Or something better,
Filling out a tighter sweater,
Might flash me a quick come-on smile?
You don't want to be tied just yet
To just one future, just one kiss?
You think about all you might miss
And hold out for a better bet?
Well, fine! But then why do you haunt
Me like a jackal night and day?
Why, when my interest seems to stray,
Are you so sure of what you want?
Why, when I dare so much as laugh
At some guy's jokes, you go ballistic,
Nasty, borderline sadistic,
As if somebody touched your stuff?
And yet when I hook on to you,
You will not let yourself be mine,
Take out your fears and draw a line
Between what you and I can do?
But freedom must be mutual,
And it takes two for one embrace.
You can't both love and freedom chase,
Unless you would adore a fool.
