Our Dexter critic hasn't been thrilled with season five, but even he has to admit that the latest installment of this Showtime hit has laid an exciting groundwork for what's to come over the next few episodes.
How will Quinn deal with Liddy? Who is Emily Birch? Can Dexter and Lumen get to Jordan Chase before he gets to them?
We'll move a step closer to answering these questions on Sunday's "In the Beginning." Check out a few scenes from that episode via the official preview posted here:

The merging of search, social, and content marketing into a single digital marketing strategy has been happening for years. Intuitively, many of us have been guided by this fact to create the type of strategies that bring the disciplines together appropriately. As the evolution of the three reach a tipping point that is breaking down a good chunk of the practices of the past, it has become paramount to gain an understanding of how everything works together and why the flow of data between each has such a tremendous effect on digital marketing as a whole.
To do this properly, it's becoming necessary to break it all down into units. The easiest way to understand this is to compare digital marketing strategy to a living organism. Every action has an effect of some sort on all of the parts. With this comprehension, you'll be better equipped to make decisions about how to craft the overarching strategy as well as how to organize the individual actions.
A Quick Breakdown
If the model to make this work is like a living, breathing organism, then understanding what the different units are can help you grasp how it all plays together. We're going to be breaking them down individually then bringing them together as a whole. In preparation, here's a partial list of the individual units that we'll be covering.
- Inbound Links
- Business Content
- Useful Content
- Company Blog
- Site UI and Navigation
- Social Media Profiles
- Social Media Shares
- Customers and Visitors
Over the next few weeks we will be breaking down how each of these works individually to support the whole. In the meantime, start thinking along the lines of holistic processes rather than individual tasks. While the tasks themselves are important, how they affect the entire body of marketing processes is the key to finding success.

Picking Out The Perfect Christmas Tree
Twin Falls, Idaho ( KMVT-TV / KTWT-TV ) We're just weeks from Christmas, which means if you haven't set up your tree yet... Now is the time to do it!
Joey Martin for Idaho's First News has tips on picking out the perfect tree. That's this week's Grow Southern Idaho. Before you buy a Christmas tree there's one question to ask yourself… real or fake? Ask an expert and they'll tell you... Nothing beats the real tree experience! "Nothing matches a live Christmas tree for the fragrance you bring into your house and the festivity of the season." Said Derek Ruhter from Webb Nurseries. Derek Ruther works at Webb Nurseries. He says there's more than one type of tree to choose from. "We carry the Frasier Fir, which is a tree that's a Fir tree that's mildly fragrant. It has strong branches for holding ordainments. The other type of tree we carry is the Noble Fir, which is another tree with strong branches for ordainments. And they're very strong branches too... they're more horizontally spaced. " Said Ruhter. Once you've decide which kind of tree you want. Ruhter says there are a few simple things to keep in mind when picking out the perfect tree. "Generally you want to see if the needles are holding on... they can run their hand over the branches and see if the needles are staying on the tree. After that its personal preference, so do I want a sparse tree or do I want a full tree? What the shape I'm looking for? There's a wide variety." Said Ruhter. Once you choose a tree, keeping the needles green is the next challenge. "The key is to make it a fresh cut, right prior to you just setting it up in your house. Taking the bottom edge of the base off the trunk so that it can be taking up water. And then once you get it in your house and stood up... making certain that you keep water in your tree stand." Said Ruhter. Simple steps to make your Christmas a little brighter. Trees typically range from $5 to $10 a foot. Webb nursery is selling them at a flat rate. A 5 to 6 foot tree will set you back an even 40 bucks. |

The procedure can vary greatly from court to court, and even among different judges in the same court. The Legislature allows judges to give certain drivers one deferred finding on a moving violation (like a speeding infraction) and one deferred finding on a nonmoving violation (for example, an expired tabs infraction) in a period of 7 years. However, there is no requirement under Washington law that judges grant deferred findings; rather, judges have discretion. Some judges don't grant...

In Washington there is no leeway when it comes to turning left on a red, unless you are coming from a one-way street and turning onto a one-way street, although in that scenario you must come to a complete stop and only turn if it is safe to do so. If you turned in the intersection while the light was red, you are technically violating the law, though in practice people do this all the time. Unfortunately, traffic is not a defense. Instead, the law requires that you stay out of the...

An officer has discretion on whether to issue you a notice of infraction (ticket), and if you have more than one violation, the officer can cite you for only one violation if the officer so desires. A no insurance ticket is a nonmoving violation. If you had insurance but did not have proof on you, you can get the ticket reduced substantially. If you didn't have insurance and get insurance a day or more after you were cited, many courts will still reduce the fine.

You should discuss the matter with an experienced New Jersey traffic attorney before you do anything.
6 lawyers agreed with this answer
You can ski and snowboard, but you can't impede traffic (if there is any) or violate other traffic laws (e.g., you must stop at stop intersections, you can't violate right of way laws, etc.). Also, police regularly cite pedestrians and bicyclists for infractions, so there is no reason to believe that a person on skis or a snowboard would be treated differently. Have fun but be vigilant!
Selected as best answer
It's not incorrect for the officer to check 'traffic' because technically, a tabs violation is part of Washington's motor vehicle code; however, this kind of infraction is a nonmoving violation, meaning that it should not by itself affect your insurance. However, this type of ticket COULD (but won't necessarily) affect a deferred finding but this depends on the type of deferred finding you have and the court in which you took your deferred finding.

Unfortunately, there is one judicial officer in Lewis County who often does not seem to be helpful, and you might consider asking for review of this action by the presiding district court judge in Lewis County or a full-blown appeal to the Lewis County Superior Court if the commissioner ruled on your case. An appeal will cost you more than $200 but there are several reasons why you should be allowed to have a hearing on the merits in district court. One thing you can do to deal with the...

I agree with Attorney Border. You're actually arrested when you're pulled over, it just doesn't always turn into a custodial arrest. It's never a good idea to get into an argument with the officer or "one-up" an officer. Even if he wasn't concerned for his safety, your talking about your community involvement was probably not the right approach. Nevertheless, you should retain a defense attorney so that you can fight the charge.

If you wish to contest the ticket, as in you think you did not commit the infraction, you should check the contested hearing box. The mitigation box is for those people who know the committed the infraction, but wish to explain the circumstances to the judge and ask for a lower fine (and lower fines are not available in school zone infraction cases). If you want to keep the ticket from affecting your insurance premiums, you need to first begin by checking the contested box.

In Washington, a minor 16 years of age or older can petition the court for emancipation, but it's a pretty high standard for the court to grant emancipation. Also, emancipation is often about independence of the minor, not about a minor being adopted or cared for by a nonparent.

Optical image coding with a circular Dammann grating
Applied Optics, Vol. 48, Issue 1, pp. 134-139 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (903 KB)
A circular Dammann grating in the front focal plane of a lens is used to generate an annular beam in the back focal plane to code an object by two-dimensional scanning. The coded image of the object is decoded digitally by convolving it with the same annular beam used to code the object. Simple inverse filtering is subsequently used to improve the contrast of the decoded image.

Adenovirus (Ad) efficiently delivers its DNA genome into a variety of cells and tissues, provided that these cells express appropriate receptors, including the coxsackie-adenovirus receptor (CAR), which binds to the terminal knob domain of the viral capsid protein fiber. To render CAR-negative cells susceptible to Ad infection, we have produced a bispecific hybrid adapter protein consisting of the amino-terminal extracellular domain of the human CAR protein (CARex) and the Fc region of the human immunoglobulin G1 protein, comprising the hinge and the CH2 and CH3 regions. CARex-Fc was purified from COS7 cell supernatants and mixed with Ad particles, thus blocking Ad infection of CAR-positive but Fc receptor-negative cells. The functionality of the CARex domain was further confirmed by successful immunization of mice with CARex-Fc followed by selection of a monoclonal anti-human CAR antibody (E1-1), which blocked Ad infection of CAR-positive cells. When mixed with Ad expressing eGFP, CARex-Fc mediated an up to 250-fold increase of transgene expression in CAR-negative human monocytic cell lines expressing the high-affinity Fcgamma receptor I (CD64) but not in cells expressing the low-affinity Fcgamma receptor II (CD32) or III (CD16). These results open new perspectives for Ad-mediated cancer cell vaccination, including the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.

We discuss an efficient implementation of the Warren Abstract Machine (WAM) [12] in detail. Special attention is given to data formats, memory layout, WAM optimizations and code generation techniques. A final section describes some hardware considerations for even higher performance execution. Currently the compiler produces code that runs at approximately 900,000 logical inferences per second (LIPS) on a single processor of an IBM 3090 using the naive reverse benchmark. Using several of the yet unimplemented optimizations, we expect this figure to top one million LIPS.

Title: Fuels Treatment Effects on Carbon Stocks and Insect Induced Mortality 10-Years After Treatments
Project Proposal Abstract: Pretreatment measurements were taken in 1998-1999, mechanical treatments were implemented in 2000-2001, and prescribed fire treatments were applied in 2001. As part of this project we have examined the impacts of the full range of treatments on C stocks and modeled a range of treatments over a 100 year period using FVS to quantify C stocks under simulated wildfire conditions (Hurteau and North 2009; North et al. 2009) . Carbon costs increased with increasing treatment intensity. Selecting harvest trees based on size and species to favor larger pines, stored tree-based C in the most fire-resistant structures. For seven years after treatments we have annually re-measured a subset of the trees to follow radial growth response at DBH. This preliminary data suggests a rapid diameter increase in small trees (< 75 cm DBH). However, most of our large tree samples across all fuels treatments have lower radial growth than large trees in the untreated control. Some recent research (Stone et al. 1999) suggests old-growth trees tend to have a lagged response to thinning because C is being allocated preferentially to the canopy. If allometric relationships in old-growth trees are altered by thinning activities, quantifying tree C by measuring diameter only at breast height has the potential to underestimate live tree C stocks. The objective of our research is 1) to quantify the longer term effects of fuels treatments on the release effect of residual tree growth and C sequestration; 2) determine how growth response in large old trees differs from young small trees and; 3) quantify the effects of fuels treatments on soil moisture, insect damage, tree mortality, and subsequent fuel loading.

Small History of St John British Virgin Islands
Favorite thing: Here is a small part of the history of St. John, to better understand the nature of the islands...
On November 23, 1733 slaves carrying bundles of wood were let into the fort at Coral Bay. Concealed in the wood were cane knives, which the rebels used to kill the half-asleep and surprised soldiers who were guarding the fort. One soldier, John Gabriel, escaped by hiding under his bed and running away when he had a chance. He was able to get to St. Thomas in a small boat and tell the story to Danish officials there. The rebels raised the flag and fired three cannon shots. This was the signal for slaves on the plantations to kill their masters and take control of the island.
The rebels proceeded to kill many of the whites in the Coral Bay area. The insurgents gained in number as they progressed from plantation to plantation. Some whites were spared, notably the company's doctor, Cornelius Bödger, because of the good relationship he had with the Africans in treating their medical needs. Also spared were Dr. Bödger's two stepsons. They were saved from death out of respect for the surgeon, and also to be made into servants for the new rebel leaders.
The stated aim of the rebels was to make St. John an Akwamu ruled state, governed under the Akwamu system. Africans of other tribal origins were to serve as slaves in the production of sugar and other crops.
But then history has other plans for this wonderful island...
Fondest memory: UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!
I made a short video of our first trip to the Caribbean!
Hope you like this:
JUMPING FAMILY IN ST THOMAS AND ST JOHN!- Family Travel
- Beaches
- National/State Park
Wild and laid back
Favorite thing: St. John is about 3/4 national park so it is mostly undeveloped. Even in Cruz Bay, the main town, things are understated and laid-back. A horse got loose when we were hanging around waiting for the ferry to take us back to St. Thomas. It was a brown and white paint and he was just munching grass over by the gazebo while his owner called and cajoled him. Anyway, we enjoyed the whole scene and my dad commented that any place where horses and chickens run around even in the main town is his kind of place. We didn't see any of the famous wild donkeys, though, which was a little disappointing. Next time...
- National/State Park
- Beaches
expensive or not?
Favorite thing: Hi,
St. John does not have to be expensive. You can find a small room to rent, or camp at the campground. Food is expensive in the grocery stores, but if you plan well and have a place to cook, you will be ok.
Getting around the island is easy, you can hitchhike to north shore beaches, or take the bus from one end to the other.
I live on St. John most of the year, in Fishbay on the south side of the island. Email me directly if you want more info.

ALEX Lesson Plans
Business, Management, and Administration (9 - 12), or Technology Education (9 - 12)
It's Time
Students must prepare to be future business professionals. By researching the importance of employee/student time and attendance and creating a brochure, students will gain essential knowledge of practical business practices. The brochure should explain the school's policy, describe the role good/poor attendance plays in the workplace, and describe penalties/rewards.
English Language Arts (10), or Social Studies (10), or Technology Education (9 - 12)
Extra, Extra!! Mary Rowlandson's Captivity Newscast
This lesson will be an interdisciplinary lesson that involves both English Language Arts and Social Studies (History). The lesson will be primarily technology-based and also project-based that will have the students performing historical research and developing a "photo-story" through a PowerPoint presentation for their own newscast. The lesson will be part of a larger unit that combines literature from the early 1600s through the 1800s, and will primarily focus on the encounters and relationships of European explorers with the Native American life in North America. The lesson, in particular, will look at the Puritan life and beliefs, and how this life style influenced history, literature, and one woman's captivity with the Native American Indian tribe of the Wampanoag. Through research and analysis of the captivity narrative of Mary Rowlandson, the students will compose a newscast that will track the history of the events of King Philip's War and tie those events into a narrow report on Mary Rowlandson's actual captivity through the "removes" that she details in her narrative.
Science (9 - 12), or Technology Education (9 - 12)
Who Wants to Know the Periodic Table?
The purpose of the project is to help the students gain an in depth knowledge of the Periodic Table of Elements. The periodic table is the very backbone of chemistry. In order for the students to be successful in chemistry, they must be able to understand, apply, interpret and evaluate the Periodic Table of Elements. In order to successfully meet this goal, students must do more than merely write a paper or read the textbook. The project will require research, critical thinking, application of knowledge, evaluation of facts and data, creativity, and the use of technology.
Science (9 - 12), or Technology Education (9 - 12)
What is in a Biome?
As part of the study of the biosphere, the students will create a lesson and provide a three dimensional model of teacher assigned biome. In groups students will use lap tops to acquire information about assigned biome. Groups will then create lesson presentation and a three dimensional model explaining identifying characteristics of assigned biome.

{There were a couple small whoop de doos and then this nice big hill, and after they got up some speed they would go sailing off the end of it ! }
{Then they would hit those two small hills and get a little air...all the time those high torque engines winding and snow flying!}
{He said once he got the timing down ..He started to get some real good shots}
{ He said :They had to be doing at least 50 mph when they flew up that hill and went air born !}
WOW sme of these guys really get some air !!!
{This is a cool shot...the in the forefront on the green machine slowed down and drove over the hill, probably because he wasnt experienced enough to go air born...then he looks as the guy behind him goes flying by in mid air !}

How the Rich Benefited From the Recovery (While Most of Us Got Nothing)Posted on May 5, 2013
The richest Americans made trillions during the so-called economic recovery from 2009 to 2011, while most everyone else's net worth dropped, according to a recent Pew Research Social & Demographic Trends analysis of newly released Census Bureau data. According to the study, the net worth of the nation's wealthiest 7 percent rose 28 percent during that time period. In contrast, the net worth of the rest of Americans dropped 4 percent. The 8 million families at the top saw their aggregate wealth rise $5.6 trillion (an increase of roughly $700,000 per family), while the 111 million families that comprise the remaining 93 percent saw their total wealth decline more than $600 billion (a decrease of roughly $6,000 per family). "It's as if the entire economic recovery is going into the pockets of the rich," Les Leopold writes at AlterNet. "And that's no accident." Leopold goes on to cite nine reasons why the wealthy benefited from the so-called recovery while the rest of us didn't. Among his explanations, Wall Street—not Main Street—got bailed out, big banks got even bigger, Washington didn't do enough to spur job creation and Occupy Wall Street was silenced. —Posted by Tracy Bloom.

Yesterday's announcement by Representative Gabrielle Giffords (Ariz. 8th District) that she intends to step down from her Congressional seat, is part of an emerging story involving a number of the current Jewish members of the House and Senate, who are leaving government service or changing positions.
The make-up of this current Congress includes some 40 Jewish members of the House and Senate. However, this year will mark the largest drop off in Jewish representation in more than a half a century.
House of Representatives:
- Departure of Representative Jane Harmon (Ca. 36th District) in order to serve as President and CEO of the Woodrow Wilson Center
- Resignation of Congressman Anthony Wiener (NY, 9th District)
- Decision of Representative Robert Filner (Ca. 51st District) to run for Mayor of San Diego
- Retirement of Congressman Barney Frank (Mass. 4th District) at the end of this current session
- Decision of Congresswoman Shelly Berkley (Nev. 1st District ) to step down in order to run for the Senate
In what will be one of the costliest House elections in history, two prominent members of the 112th Congress, Representative Howard Berman (Ca. 28th District ) and Brad Sherman (Ca. 27th District) will be competing for the Democratic nomination in the newly created 30th Congressional District in the San Fernando Valley.
Of some historical significance, Representative Eric Cantor (Va.7th District), the only Jewish Republican currently in the House of Representatives, is the first Jewish official ever elected to serve as the House Majority Leader.
When the 112th Congress concludes later this year, it will be marked by the retirement of two Senators Joseph Lieberman (Con. Ind.) and Herb Kohl (Dem. Wis).
In addition, several Jewish Senators facing re-election this fall are likely to encounter significant challenges. Benjamin Cardin (Maryland, Dem) and Bernie Sanders (Vermont, Ind.) appear to have major campaign battles ahead, while Diane Feinstein (Ca. Dem) may face a less formidable challenge in seeking to retain her seat. There is also the possibility of several Jewish challengers emerging in Senate races this fall. In addition to the candidacy of Congresswoman Berkley, Ohio State Treasurer, Josh Mandel, may enter the Ohio Senate contest.
During this current session of the Congress there are 12 seating Jewish United States Senators:
In addition to Cardin, Feinstein, Kohl, Lieberman, and Sanders, Jewish members include:
- Richard Blumenthal (Con. Dem)
- Barbara Boxer (Ca. Dem)
- Al Franken (MN. Dem)
- Carl Levin (MI. Dem)
- Charles Schumer (NY Dem)
- Frank Lautenberg (NJ. Dem)
- Ron Wyden (Ore. Dem)
Are we likely to see a diminution of Jewish influence as we move forward, or will there be the emergence of a new generation of Jewish activists who will seek to make their presence felt on the national political stage?

Four Irving ISD students participating in engineering academy in Arizona
Singley Academy rising seniors Lesly Hernandez, Alondra Rios, Rubi Garcia and Cindy Martinez are attending a Summer Engineering Academy this week in Arizona. All four students are members of Singley's Girls of Technology program. They have received financial support from the La Buena Vida Foundation, an Irving-based non-profit organization which helps support Irving ISD students, and the University of Arizona's College of Engineering.
The Summer Engineering Academy focuses on the mining industry and will introduce the first principles of mining engineering, starting with mineral exploration, mine safety procedures and blasting. The student will be able to learn about the design and operation of a surface mine, an underground mine, mineral processing and the sustainability of mining.
This is the first year for Irving ISD students to participate in the weeklong residential camp.

Former Immaculate Heart Central standout Dustin Exford drove in pair of runs for Watertown (5-4). Nick Bradley picked up the win, hurling six innings and giving up one run.
Mike Clarkson was saddled with the loss for Glens Falls.
The Wizards jumped out to a 3-0 lead on the Golden Eagles (4-4) after four innings. Brandon Matthews drove in Glens Falls first run in the fifth.
Watertown then added a pair of runs in the seventh by taking advantage of defensive miscues by Glens Falls, including two errors and a wild pitch.
The Golden Eagles tacked on runs in the seventh and the ninth.

Jock Paull, of TISM and Blind Lemon Chicken, has died at 50.
Paull was born in Blackburn and educated at Xavier College and St Patrick's College, Ballarat
I'm sorry, but I just had the image of young Paull as an altar boy.

Posted by anonymous guest on 2008 05 08 at 01:20 AM • permalinkI 'interviewed' them a couple of times during my time in newspapers. At my appointed interview time I had to fax them the questions and about an hour later they faxed back with the answers.
I recall another time they held a press conference. They stood in the middle of the MCG with the media in the stands.
Jock will be sadly missed.

Thanks Jock. RIP.

I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that any talk at all about music in this country is a colossal wank.
Play it, don't say it!

Reminds me of another great one who left us at 50. Joe Strummer.34 - I'd like to think that one of the band members will read that here and steal it for the eulogy.
Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2008 05 08 at 05:08 PM • permalinkAh TISM. They aptly described Jim Morrison with words that could equally be applied to Bill Clinton:
By Christ you've got a long long way
on a schoolboy's talent with words
One crappy bit of symbolism
and you're adored by an army of turdsYou're a selfish, rude, arrogant prick
You're basically pretty stupid
You're mysticism's a lump of shit
And so are all the girls you've rooted
You know you're a Victim of Tism when you start quoting their lyrics till everyone begs you to stop, and when you invent a Tism name for yourself - mine is 'Jack Kerouaccadacca'.
Posted by David Morgan on 2008 05 08 at 08:11 PM • permalink#40 words that could equally be applied to Bill Clinton
...or Barack Hussein ObamaPosted by daddy dave on 2008 05 09 at 08:40 AM • permalinkJust to be slightly tedious the proper name of the "river phoenix" song was 'There will never be… an old man river".
That I think sums up the true & complete punk mentality that was/is TISM

Armstrong, Mark and Vickers, John and Zhou, Jidong (2008): Consumer protection and the incentive to become informed.
MPRA_paper_9898.pdf Download (155kB) | Preview |
We discuss the impact of consumer protection policies on consumer incentives to become informed of the best deals available in the market. In a market with costly consumer search, we find that imposing a cap on suppliers' prices reduces the incentive to engage in search, with the result that prices paid by consumers (both informed and uninformed) may rise. In a related model where consumers have the ability to refuse to receive marketing, we find that this ability softens price competition and can make all consumers worse off.

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
Guys i'm trying to understand this. I really am but i dont get how it works or how i get it to work.
I have/buy music on Amazon which i download to my PC then upload to Google Play (i like GP's player better but Amazon wins on price). I also have music i have ripped from CD myself and have uploaded that to Google Play too. Can i use this unifying music thing? |
Need some help here.
I'm trying to use Google Music Manager client to upload my music collection. The problem is after the first few songs, it stops uploading--along with my HTTP-specific internet connections on the computer where said-collection is stored on. I can use Remote Desktop, check e-mail, and chat on IRC, but all web browsing ceases to work. The only fix I've found is to /release and /renew via ipconfig. Has anyone else experienced this issue? "In the end, everything is fine; if it is not fine, it is not the end." -- Unknown OP of one of the lowest rated threads on SlickDeals. |
Last edited by Wildpir8; 12-19-2012 at 02:23 PM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
I stumbled on this thread earlier today, thanks OP. Repped.
I have a bunch of CD's that I ripped to disk about a year ago (flac format) to have an online copy of the disks on a network file server (freenas) in my house. Started my upload about noon, 2500 of 4000+ done. I did have to reset my cable modem a couple of times...not sure where the issue is as it is going through multiple points: 2 switches (gigabit) and then an ooma and then the cable modem. I also had things like netflix and a couple of other systems on at the same time, so who knows... One question for the crowd...if I also wanted to use iTunes match, what is the fastest/best way to bulk convert the 4k songs from flac to a lossless apple format? |
So if Google Music already has your album in their store, they just verify you have it and just give you their copy. This saves you time but best of all, seems like a great solution to having mp3's ripped from cd's with scratches. I have a lot of albums that have at least one song with flaws. I'm guessing this will fix that. Sweet!
http://www.m4a.com/m4a-vs-mp3/ They say "Apple devised a compression process that can still create much smaller audio files but without losing any of the original quality." That's why I thought the iTunes M4A files were lossless. I guess it makes sense that they couldn't be full lossless files, those are very large. But regardless, there's a noticeable difference there. It's not so much "quality", like the MP3s sound "bad" compared to them, or are missing parts of the audio. It's just that the M4A files are louder and seemingly clearer, making it easier to understand lyrics. It's different than just turning up the volume, the words really stand out more in an M4A file. Try it out for yourself, download the same song from Amazon and iTunes, then listen to them both at the same volume level. I'm even more confused now, lol. It seems like Amazon/Google will just switch most of my M4As to MP3s. I'm not sure what to do... |

It may have been destiny that led Brittney Oldham to the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
Brittney admits that she "grew up in law enforcement," with her mother and aunt working for the Sheriff's Department and her uncle working for the Santa Ana Police Department. However, Brittney had something else in mind for a career. "In college, I studied child and adolescent development and wanted to go into teaching," Brittney stated. Her position as a Crime Prevention Specialist with the Laguna Hills Police Services has allowed her to fulfill both of her passions, in that she is now teaching various audiences about law enforcement.
Since joining the Sheriff's Department in 2006, Brittney has served in a number of capacities and locations, from her first position as a Sheriff's Cadet in Dana Point to the job she now holds. In between she worked for the Sheriff's Department in Rancho Santa Margarita and in Mission Viejo, finding each community has its own personality and unique needs. Perhaps the thing she likes best about her job is the tremendous variety of assignments and responsibilities that come along with the position. "There is no typical day, every day is different," according to Brittney. Among her duties are public presentations for groups ranging from preschoolers to senior citizens, offering an eight week Community Emergency Preparedness Academy that culminates with a mock disaster drill and providing car seat inspections to ensure infants and toddlers are safe motor vehicle passengers.
Some of Brittney's duties are straight from today's headlines, such as educating 8th grade girls about internet and cell phone safety. These types of programs require Brittney to stay current on the latest trends in social media. "The girls are not using Facebook because it is something their parents and grandparents are using." While social media may change, her reminder to safeguard your personal information while online remains the same and provides Brittney a great opportunity to interact with youth in the community while providing a different perspective on law enforcement.
Brittney finds satisfaction in the difference she can make in the community as a Crime Prevention Specialist. "People remember me and people who have been involved in our Neighborhood Watch groups are often complimentary of our work as a liaison between law enforcement and the community." While it can be frustrating that people don't always put into practice the things they learn through crime prevention programs, Brittney says overall they are pretty receptive to the department's emphasis on preventing crime whenever possible.
In the future, Brittney hopes to broaden her involvement in community relations activities and would like to help implement more programs for children, such as a child safety academy. No matter where the assignment, Brittney knows that the duties of a Crime Prevention Specialist and the opportunity she has with the Orange County Sheriff's Department to work with people of all ages will continue to provide her with the daily variety and many challenges that she has come to enjoy about her career.

Gilbert's King Arthur's KnightsI. HOW ARTHUR WAS MADE KING AND WON HIS KINGDOM In the hall of his Roman palace at London,
King Uther, Pendragon of the Island of Britain, lay dying. He had been long sick with a
wasting disease, and forced to lie in his bed, gnawing his beard with wrath at his
weakness, while the pagan Saxons ravened up and down the fair broad lands, leaving in
their tracks the smoking ruin of broken towns and desolated villages, where mothers lay
dead beside their children on the hearths, fair churches stood pillaged and desecrated,
and priests and nuns wandered in the wilds. |

A new vegetable - and not a train - has just hit the Japanese market. Known in English as Romanesco broccoli, it is called the Eurostar in Japan.
It's weird, too-perfect fractal makeup caught my eye at a supermarket in Tokyo's Ueno district yesterday, as did it's quirky name - no doubt meant to denote its European origins and its radiating structure.
Although from Europe originally, the Eurostar is home-grown in Japan, in Saitama prefecture, next to, and north-west of, Tokyo. (The red characters at the top-left of the label in the foreground say "Saitama prefecture.")
At 480 yen (about USD4.60/GBP2.90) a head, this would not usually find itself in my shopping basket, but curiosity got the better of me. Vendors are obviously cashing in on its novelty value here in Japan.
Verdict? A slightly sweeter version of normal broccoli; a halfway house, perhaps, between broccoli and cauliflower. And, sure enough, the top left of the white label seen on each item of produce in the photo has the much less highfalutin "Cauliflower" (in katakana) on it.

Avaaz calls for petition to stop Chinese solar tariffs in US and EU
07. September 2012 | Top News, Global PV markets, Industry & Suppliers, Markets & Trends, Trade cases | By: Becky BeetzFollowing the launch of EU and U.S. trade investigations into photovoltaic exports from China, Avaaz is calling for half a million people to back its submission to the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and EU Trade Commissioner for "talks not tariffs".
Yesterday, September 6, the European Commission announced it had launched an investigation into photovoltaic exports from China into the EU, after a SolarWorld-led consortium, under the name EU ProSun submitted a trade complaint calling for tariffs to be imposed on Chinese manufacturers.
The news followed a similar action in the U.S., again led by SolarWorld, which has already seen preliminary tariffs imposed. Both of these investigations have prompted China to retaliate: last week China concluded that U.S. solar subsidies violate WTO rules; and China's polysilicon producers have called for a trade investigation into imports of polysilicon into China.
To avoid a "full on trade war ... that could kill the crucial green energy revolution" Avaaz, a global community whose aim is to work on "any issue of public concern", is calling for people to sign its "save solar" petition. If 500,000 signatures are collected, it says it will make a formal submission to the U.S. International Trade Commission and EU trade Commissioner calling for talks not tariffs. Since its launch yesterday, 117,352 people have signed.
In an email, the organization writes, "Climate change is accelerating, but there's a massive ray of hope: clean energy is booming, producing nearly 20% of the world's electricity! Incredibly, the US and EU are threatening to stifle this breakthrough -- but together we can stop them."
It goes on to say, "While China, the EU, and the US all funnel billions into Big Coal and Oil to destroy our planet, China is also providing huge loans and subsidies to the solar industry. And that's exactly what other governments have failed to do.
"Following the bankruptcy of a handful of US and EU solar manufacturers, some lobbyists are pushing politicians to blame China, instead of their own insufficient and inappropriate subsidies. Some claim that domestic jobs are threatened by low cost Chinese panels, but the truth is the opposite -- experts predict that tariffs could cost 60,000 jobs in the US alone. The vast majority of jobs in the solar sector outside of China are in installing and servicing panels, not manufacturing them, so cheaper panels now means more work, and more jobs. And less climate change."
Before the European Commission made its decision to launch the investigation, a number of industry parties spoke out against the imposition of tariffs in the EU, including the International Photovoltaic Equipment Association (IPVEA) and Germany-based VDMA Photovoltaic Equipment.
It was also reported last week that German Chancellor, Angela Merkel had met with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, with the aim of reaching a negotiated settlement and "not always resort to the same weapons for legal disputes".
Predictably, the main victims of tariffs – Suntech, Yingli, Trina and JinkoSolar– have also spoken out against the investigation, claiming that their EU photovoltaic transactions have been made in accordance with international fair trade practices and that tariffs are not of benefit to anyone on the industry.
Equally predictably, EU ProSun, the members of which are still unknown aside from SolarWorld, has welcomed the investigation, stating, "The European Commission took a big step … to save Europe's green tech sector and broader manufacturing base. Chinese companies are selling solar products in Europe far below their cost of production, with a dumping margin of 60 % to 80%."

Byline: Rich Hammond Staff WriterIn football, a running back makes quick friends with his offensive linemen, the big guys up front who clear his path to success.
In baseball, pitcher and catcher must be together mentally, and offense in basketball requires the guard and center anticipating each other's actions.
So it goes for Jennifer Ryan, a junior middle blocker for the La Reina girls' volleyball team, who has spent the past five summers playing club volleyball with her setter, junior Ashlie Hain.
The on-court communication between the duo is one reason Ryan is considered one of the top returning players in the area this fall, and why the Regents are a team on the rise in Division IV-AA.
``Right now I'm very used to the way she sets, and that helps us quite a bit on the court,'' Ryan said. ``She knows where I like my sets, and we have real good communication. Usually we don't even have to talk, we know what the other is thinking and doing.
``We really are like a team. We have the same intensity level, and we've both been going hard this summer. During the club season, we were so united that we want to carry that over to the high school season.''
La Reina has won five consecutive Tri-Valley League championships, and coach Don Hyatt said this year's success hinges largely on Ryan's ability to lead a young team. The Regents have only one senior starter, but seven of the team's 10 players have some varsity experience.
``Jennifer has become a leader,'' Hyatt said. ``Most of it comes from her physical ability, because she stands out in practice. She's not the one who will go up and get in a player's face, but she does it by going nonstop in practice and by staying extremely focused.
``At times she is so focused that it can be a little intimidating for the other girls, especially when we work out with the JV team. But the girls are starting to look to her. The other day we did a concentration drill in practice, and Jennifer was the first one they looked to.''
Ryan became a standout on the court with an exceptional sophomore season. Ryan was one of only three sophomores among 62 players on the All-CIF first teams. Hyatt is expecting more.
``During the summer I was helping the team work out on the court,'' Hyatt said. ``Now, I have quite a bit of experience playing volleyball, but I was on the other end of her hits, and she almost knocked me over a couple times.
``Her confidence is growing all the time, and her expectations of herself are getting higher. Last year I think she was kind of shocked at her own success, but this year I've already told her that she's probably going to be 50 percent of our offense, and she will get the ball on all the crucial points. Nobody is going to stop her, unless she stops herself.''
So the bad news for opponents is that Ryan has improved. The worst news is that Ryan admits, and her coach agrees, that they are just beginning to tap her potential.
``I'd say we're probably seeing about 70 percent of what she can be,'' Hyatt said.
Ryan spent the summer working on her footwork and quickness, and using virtual reality-type training to improve her vertical jump. Also, her work with Hain on their club team, which won the 16-and-under division at the prestigious Davis Volleyball Festival, has prepared her for a high level of competition.
``The thing I've probably improved most is my quickness in the back row,'' Ryan said. ``I can get to a few more balls this season, and I'm reading the ball a lot better. I just think my overall knowledge of the game is better.''
The pressure of expectations seems to roll off Ryan quite easily, and she openly discusses what she would like to accomplish this season.
``We're hoping to win league and go all the way and win a CIF title,'' Ryan said. ``We've never passed the quarterfinals, but people expect a lot from us. La Reina definitely has a name to uphold.
``I feel a little pressure personally, but not much. Volleyball is the ultimate team sport, because one player can't do everything. In order to hit you have to have a good set, and to have a good set you have to have a good pass.''
The Regents appear to have the setting and hitting part down to near-perfection, and in part because of her work in the offseason, Ryan is ready to shine.
``I can put Ashlie in there with any middle blocker and they will do fine, but with Jennifer it's something special,'' Hyatt said. ``Jennifer is a very emotional player, but if you're going to be a leader you have to eliminate the peaks and valleys. That's going to be key, to keep our emotions in check and don't have highs or lows, but it's hard to see Jennifer not having any highs - that's just the kind of player she is.''

Welcome to life with a two-year-old! :( Katrina went through this in July, when she was 26 months (about Noelle's age now, right?). She would try everything to get out of bedtime and naptime, including vomiting. Ugh. A coworker and our babysitter both told me that their kids went through it at two, too, and that it passes in 2 - 3 weeks. And it did! A trick Ryan's mom taught us that really worked for us: take a dining room chair in her room and sit there, but facing away. Read a book, do a crossword puzzle, whatever, just avoid direct eye contact and use a firm but reassuring voice that you are there and that she needs to rest. Good luck! I hope this passes soon.
Lexa - January 30, 2008 05:16 pmThis isn't scripture, but it should be, "And this too shall pass!". That means the good times and the bad, so enjoy each moment even when it means getting up at 5:45 with your two year old. She will be 12 before you know it and you wish these days back again. Kiss her for me and tell her Grammy loves her.
Grammy - January 31, 2008 06:08 amBoy, do I agree with you on the acute lack of good customer service now days. There is nothing that irks me more that getting the run-around....call here, no you have to call there, no actually you must call over there......AUGGHHHHH It is enough to make you want to reach through the phone and throttle someone, anyone!!
Carol - January 31, 2008 06:11 amit was good talking to you today! I am sure that you miss Charlotte every day and taking down the crib will be tough...but know that you're in our prayers...and i'm sure you'll have use for that crib again someday!!
*sara* - January 28, 2008 06:14 pmAh, your little girl is growing up. Be glad that she didn't start this as young as her daddy did. I never thought about what the impact would be on you and Andy putting away the crib & putting away your dreams of/for Charlotte. That such a mundane task should have such a effect is something most of us would not even consider. You will be in our prayers as you prepare to move into this new phase. I will also continue to pray that God will bless you and Andy soon with more children. Love and hugs.
Grammy - January 31, 2008 06:18 amYou know, Noelle is pretty cute, although I think that mine is just as cute. I was thinking that it will be weird when Noelle has a lot of hair and gets ponytails, etc. I can't even picture it! Someday, though....
Heather - January 24, 2008 07:38 pmI can remember a few years back, yes a few year and I can remember that far back, a little boy was doing about the same thing and boy what a proud Dad I was, so I know exactly what you are going through now. I love you all 4.
Pappaw - January 25, 2008 11:56 amYou are right, she is too smart, you will have to be on your toes every day for that little scooter. LUVU
Mom M. - January 24, 2008 06:12 amMaybe, just maybe, that's the reason that the Lord took Charlotte from us Jaimes. Maybe he realized that this was a subject many people, including the two of us, are very uncomfortable with.
These days, no one wants to talk about death because it's not as common as it used to be. even as near as 50 years ago, infants died more often than they do now. People lost babies more than they do now. But people also talked to each other more...friendships and family ties went deeper.
Here's to hoping we can use Charlotte's passing to grow closer to our own friends and family.
I don't believe the Lord took Charlotte from you, but I do believe He can/will and is in the process of redeeming the darkness you have felt because of it. Life happens... medical flukes happen... evil is out there. Although I know He could if He wanted to, I will never believe that the God I serve chooses to take children or purposely cause tragedies. Why He doesn't prevent loss from happening is another question, but I do know that He is faithful, His promises are true and He WILL REDEEM these dark days of grief. We love you and are praying for another niece or nephew soon!
Melinda Bartling - January 10, 2008 09:12 pmThanks for sharing your heart. I'm so glad that there are books out there that have been written out of someone else's pain that help. I agree with Mindy that God didn't cause this to happen. The amazing thing is that there is no waste in God's economy. He has promised to take the very worst things that have happened to us and turn them into good if we let Him. Not that there is anything good about losing Charlotte...but good has already come out of the author's experience in losing Hope. You read it, you identified with it, it gave you a voice to share your experience. We love you guys...and we miss Charlotte too. Wish I could be there to hug you!!
Mom B - January 11, 2008 08:01 amAtta girl Noelle!!! Wow, looks like she will be a girl to look up to!! Oh, wait I have to look to most people!! :")
FL Mom - January 08, 2008 07:05 amYeah, Noelle! We have such big girls. Maybe we'll eventually live close to one another, then they can have someone else tall like they are. It's too bad you and Andy aren't into sports, with Noelle's height, she would make a great basketball or volleyball player :)
Heather - January 08, 2008 08:15 amWe knew she was an exceptional child!! We're very proud of her too!
Mom B - January 08, 2008 11:51 amWhat a wonderful child you have, but then again with two parents like the two of you what else could we expect. Sorry you had such a hard time in traveling up and down from Nashville, but WE both enjoyed having you here. I cann't thank each of you for your sacifice. Dad
Pappaw - January 08, 2008 12:28 pmI don't have a problem encouraging her to play sports...if that's what she wants to do. She could also be a supermodel at that height. She sure is beautiful enough. :)
andy matthews - January 08, 2008 01:01 pmI recieved Guitar Hero for Christmas from my husband. When we held the Christmas staff party for his company someone brought it. I played it, loved it, and wondered why we didnt own it. I can't wait to try rock band. Love your site.
