Comments/Questions on report of Downtown Advisory Committee
Monday, March 28, 2005 5:30 p.m. @ KACP Office
Downtown Stakeholders primary audience
Document needs to reflect inclusiveness of Old City and Jackson Ave. in retail revitalization.
What is the County's involvement in this report and the implementation?
We need neighborhood representation on the implementation team.
KTSC and downtown stakeholders need to be represented on implementation team
Enlarge area to include Summit to Main and Gay to Henley.
Should be a balance of private/public/government buildings.
Add action item re: special event component, cultural, historical
Better P.R. about available downtown parking.
What is the schedule for revisiting the document?
Downtown Director- great idea!
Will there be involvement with the University?
Don't lose focus- stay proactive with historic preservation and salvage program
Will the air rights above the transit center be included in priority projects?
Could the downtown area develop into a Theatre District?
Urban design guidelines should be prescriptive not restrictive.
Organizational structure- what kind of authority will this person (Downtown Director) have? Will this organizational structure be another hurdle in the decision-making process?
Will there be a budget recommendation to implement this civic vision in the upcoming budget?
Will the Downtown Advisory Committee continue to do work once this report is submitted to the Mayor?
Eminent domain- is it possible through this process to create some policy powers?
Monday, April 4, 2005 5:30 p.m. @ KACP Offices
Neighborhood Stakeholders primary audience
New Home Federal Building- opportunity to get density into downtown. Don't replace the 5-story building with a 3-story. Don't suburbanize downtown.
Design Standard Review Commission- consider architectural and financial concerns, allow things to evolve, consider historic character. HZC has some elements needed for the design commission review structure- add business interests. Have these 2 entities take ownership of codified design standards.
Downtown Director should be an intellectual advocate for downtown concepts and ideals, not someone "intellectually neutered" or tied to political whim, yet tied into politics.
National Main Street Program is a good source for a manager of downtown. Use this program to help detail the job description.
Asheville, NC Department of Development is in a storefront office - maybe we should not bury this person in the City County Building.
We need to coordinate Downtown and Community Development more closely. This is critical to tying neighborhoods together.
Downtown and surrounding neighborhoods have a dependent relationship- not just a synergy.
Downtown should be defined as an urban center, not just CBID. Parkridge needs to be included. Consider using TIFs in Parkridge and Mechanicsville.
Was there a market study done to support the Crandall-Arambula plan?
Has the city gone door-to-door to talk to small businesses to take their pulse?
Who reads the comments that are submitted?
Have the needs of downtown residents been assessed? Perhaps a downtown school in collaboration with U.T. (KCC possible location?)
Downtown (place) vs. Urban (character). Strategic imperative to change the negative connotation of "urban".
Consider taking the final civic vision document into the schools as a teaching tool.
Encourage creative solutions to problems. Set high goals and objectives. The city is too good at saying what we cannot do. Don't put the solutions in concrete.
This draft is an optimistic document- I like it.
The Downtown Director needs to be out there on the street and be a practical visionary. We need to build from the inside out.
Gay St. should include the stretch from the south of Gay St. Bridge to Emory Place. We need to connect the north end the way we are connecting south.
We need banners on light poles all the way to Emory Place.
Gay St. can play a larger role in connectivity.
I-40 row fencing under overpasses needs to be addressed. Trash gets caught and the lighting is poor.
What can be done to decentralize the homeless concentration?
Main St. Program had a component of education about the homeless in Knoxville.
Homelessness issue has impact on connectivity of neighborhoods along North Gay.
Good urban design should not need a variance- it should be the norm for development.
Promote smart infill with respect to setbacks, etc.
Wayfinding signs have outdated information.
"First, I would just like to comment that it's about time a realistic, progressive, and well thought out vision and plan for revitalizing the downtown has been started. It's basically impossible to read the maps but the outline is descriptive enough to understand most of the details and the thought process behind the plan. Secondly, I'd like to convey, as hopefully many others will, that you can not overestimate enough the importance of ample FREE parking. I've traveled to many cities around the country, and the most successful downtown revitalizations had abundant free parking. With the potential for waterfront development, tie-in with the University, and the Market Square renovations, there's absolutely no reason Knoxville can not develop one of top "downtowns" in the US. Thank you for letting me share my opinion."
"The one thing that stands out the most will be #9 on the Guide Principles. Improving the parking somehow has to happen someday. This issue is talked about WAY more than any others. I do have an idea...can we build a parking garage (centrally located) with 50 levels? Can parking be for free in this garage? We don't have the space to build OUT, we need to look at building UP. I do however see a problem, if there is a garage with free parking, it will "always" be the first garage full. Will this reduce the price of the other garages? and LOTS? Humm...kind of spattered food for thought....there is my opinion for the year....thank you for listening"
1. wow, it sounds terrific! 2. it would be great to have more about the implementation of the "action." 3. priority #1 and #2 seem to be in line with the CBID's core mission "to enhance downtown's existing assets and bring more people to Downtown Knoxville to work, shop, live and play. The CBID ensures the downtown area is constantly renewed and improved, so that it continues to be an asset to future generations." - has it been studied what might have prevented these "projects, programs and activities" from becoming a reality previously? 4. listed as "projects in progress" what is the status of 8 and 36 market square? also what about 26? 5. the importance of someone to coordinate the redevelopment process was stated clearly in the 2001 KCDC plan. how will the implementation of this strategy differ?
I regret that I was unable to attend the meeting geared toward Downtown Stakeholders held on March 28 as I am currently out of town, but appreciate the opportunity to comment on the Downtown Improvement Strategy report. In reading the report, I find that the 100 Block of Gay Street is included as both a primary pedestrian corridor as well as a primary retail corridor. As a resident of the 100 Block, I was somewhat surprised to find that the report lists "100 Gay Street Block Renovations" as a completed project. I recognize that significant improvements have been made on the north end of this block, but hardly consider the remainder to have been renovated. This block of Gay Street has seen a significant amount of investment both by private interest, and the City. And yet, it's appearance is strongly out of character with the remaining streetscape of Gay. Lighting on most of Gay Street utilizes decorative streetlights, whereas the 1o0 Block is lit by tall interstate style lighting. Additionally, while the remainder of Gay street boasts planters that beautify the street and litter baskets for incidental trash, the 100 Block lacks such amenities. Priority #1 of the report urges a Gay Street / Market Square Retail Strategy. This strategy, however, once again excludes the 100 Block from consideration. As I was told by City Engineering that the current use of parking meters on the 100 Block was meant to encourage retail, I find it curious that further attention is not paid to the area. Sidewalks are crumbling on this block. Please consider additional improvements to the 100 Block as part of the priorities for this strategy. Gay Street does not stop at Summit Hill. Please bring the 100 Block up to the standard set by the remainder of Gay throughout downtown.
To whom it may concern, Please consider helping Three Rivers Market/Knoxville Community Food Cooperative, a long established local whole foods grocery store owned by THE COMMUNITY, to relocate near or in the downtown area. I am confident it would not only bring in more foot traffic to the area but also help sustain the local economy. With your help our co-op could serve all of the area with quality foods and a good healthy place to visit. In turn it would bring in more people and business to the area. I understand the board of directors are working feverously to obtain retail space so please consider helping them as they restructure for a more sustainable community.
"Is there any chance Home Federal would at least add a floor or two to their new building? It would seem to be good development strategy; banks are supposed to know about that. (But Home Federal once turned us down for a mortgage because our proposed house was too modern, so maybe not.) A related issue is plans for their façade facing Market. I am sure it needs work, but recall it as a good piece of early modernism. It would be yet another shame if this was dryvitized with more of the traditional-lite that is infecting all of west Knox. "
In the organizational structure, I would like to recommend that an organization that represents neighborhoods be included as part of the Implementation team. I would like to suggest that The Center for Neighborhood Development (CND) be considered for that neighborhood representation. Dinner Shows Shopping, free parking and its very HICKISH to have parking on the main street.

Swimmers compete in open water - either at sea or in a river – where they must swim a distance of 10 km, in a pre-determined circuit. The winner is always the swimmer that crosses the finishing line first.

When the Wind Doesn't Blow
Posted by Danny Palmerlee
The Columbia River Gorge is one of the best board sailing destinations on earth (for example, watch this video and this one too). In spring and summer, when it's hot inland and cold on the coast, the low inland pressure sucks coastal air up the gorge. As the gorge narrows, it acts like a wind tunnel, creating winds of phenomenal speeds. But some days the wind just doesn't blow. And that's when you just paddle around with your dog.

Travelers in the Pacific Northwest have many options for superb outdoors experiences, but an unusual one that seems to be catching on is positively, uh, radiant. Hugo Martin in the Los Angeles Times reports on the growing numbers of kayakers and jet-boat tourists cruising the Columbia River past the Hanford Reach in Hanford, Washington, America's most contaminated nuclear site. Soon the reactor that produced the plutonium for the bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan in World War II may be designated a historic landmark and open for tours. I wonder if you'll need to wear a lead suit?

Your child is going to use their high chair or booster seat everyday for two to four years, so make sure it's durable, comfortable and easy to use.
Next to a crib, perhaps no piece of baby gear gets more use than the iconic high chair. So, how do you pick the best high chair or booster seat for you and your baby? Your choices range from simple one-piece molded seats on legs to deluxe models that have adjustable seats, folding frames, wheels, toys, storage and more. Here are a few key basics you should keep in mind when making your decision.
High Chairs
- A high chair should be sturdy with a wide base that resists tipping, especially when you have a fidgety toddler in it.
- While many seats come with a center post that keeps your baby from sliding down, a seat belt is still a must. At the minimum there should be a lap belt, although a three-point harness (waist and crotch straps) or five-point harness (waist, crotch and shoulder straps) are safer.
- Run your fingers along the seat and tray to check for holes or sharp edges that could hurt your baby's hands or legs.
- Never leave a child unattended in a high chair.
- Guaranteed, this seat will get messy and constantly trying to fish a stray pea from a tiny crevice can become very frustrating very quickly. Check the seat, harness, tray and frame for nooks and crannies that can trap food and be hard to clean.
- Look for fabrics like vinyl that can be easily wiped clean or for dark fabrics that will hide stains.
- Trays with tall rims are able to contain spills better. Some trays incorporate a removable, smaller inner tray that you can put in the dishwasher.
- While a wooden high chair tends to have fewer crevices to trap food, be sure it has a finish that can handle daily wipe downs and resist spills and stains.
- You may be surprised by just how much you move your high chair on a daily basis, both around the kitchen or from room to room, so you want it to be an easy task.
- Plastic high chairs are lighter and many models either fold for easy moving and storage, or have wheels, or both.
- If you do get a chair with wheels, make sure they lock.
- Wooden high chairs are heavier and the vast majority of them don't fold, making them less portable.
- If you want to bring your infant to the table, but he's not ready to sit up on his own, a high chair with a reclining seat is a good option.
- High chairs with adjustable heights and trays will grow with your baby into toddlerhood.
- Height adjustment on chairs is good for parents and tables of different heights.
Booster Seats
While you can move your child to a booster seat once they can sit for a long period of time without falling forward (around 9 months), you may prefer the convenience of a high chair for a little longer. Boosters come in handy as your toddler is making the transition from high chair to an adult chair. She can feel like a big kid sitting in a regular chair, but she's still safely secured. And boosters are great for taking to other homes or restaurants.
Look for a booster that has straps that let you secure it to an adult chair, plus a safety belt to secure your child to the booster seat. As with a high chair, never leave your child unattended in the booster. Other considerations are durability, comfort and ease of clean-up.

Bussie Named WBCA All-America Honorable Mention
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - West Virginia senior center Asya Bussie has been named to the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Honorable Mention All-America Team.
Ten student-athletes were named to the WBCA All-America team, which was decided from a group of 52 finalists by the selection committee at an in-person meeting held during the 2014 WBCA National Convention, while 42 student-athletes earned Honorable Mention distinctions.
A team co-captain, Bussie earned recognition on the All-Big 12 First Team, the Big 12 All-Defensive Team and the Big 12 All-Tournament Team. She closed out her career with the 11th-most points of a WVU women's basketball player with 1,497. She ranks second in WVU's career record books with 270 blocked shots and 382 offensive rebounds. The Randallstown, Md., native had a program-best and nation-leading 138 consecutive career games played and started.
Bussie and the Mountaineers won a share of the Regular-Season Big 12 Conference title before falling to LSU in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on March 25.

Newbie with questions
I am new at forums, I have never done one before. I don't know if it's appropriate, but I was wondering where to get fire brick and perferably for cheap? I am from Manteca, CA in the central valley and my brother has an oven on the works and I would love to build one as well. I am cutting down a Yuka tree to fit it in my yard and would love some advice. Thank you.
Re: Newbie with questions
Hi Barry, welcome to this forum. I don't know how cheap you can find medium duty fire brick. It should be quite easy to find them however in central California. I found a half dozen places in the SoCal area that had both Pacific Clay and Muddox fire brick and they ran from $1.25 to 1.60 a brick. I bought mine from American Building Supply (they have brick yards thru the state) and they were about $1.25 a brick. I needed 275 bricks for my 42" oven. You really cannot build an oven with regular, cheaper clay bricks, it just doesn't work. If you look really hard and are lucky, you might find some brick for less money (from what I've read on this forum for used fire brick) but expect to pay more.
As for "advice": keep reading and looking thru these threads in this forum and you'll find it's pretty easy to come up with a plan to build your own oven, even if you have had zero experience. The building process is amazing and incredibly rewarding. There is nothing like lighting a fire and putting in your pizza, bread or roasting meat in this oven you built by hand. Let us know what you decide on building and go ahead and ask more questions too.
Re: Newbie with questions
I found some! They were $1.08 a brick. I am going to start a 42 inch oven in about a month, and I will ask more questions. Thanks.
Re: Newbie with questions
Don't forget to download the FREE plans. Go to the FB store, check out, and they will send you the link. FREE plans, FREE advice; you have come to the right place.
GOOD LUCK with your build.
Re: Newbie with questions
Thank you. I got the download and con't believe the advice and support from this site. Thank you and about the luck, I will need it.

Culpable homicide offences are found in the following jurisdictions; the description of the local version of the offence is given where available :-
Culpable Homicide is an offence under s.299 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), defined as :- "Whoever causes death by doing an act with the intention of causing death, or with the intention of causing such bodily injury as is likely to cause death, or with the knowledge that he is likely by such act to cause death, commits the offence of culpable homicide."
Culpable Homicide not Amounting to Murder is an offence under s.304 of the Indian Penal Code. It applies to an event where the death is intentional but does not come within the IPC definition of Murder.
While the offence charged remains the same there can be a great variation between individual cases including whether or not the act was voluntary or involuntary :- Voluntary culpable homicide is homicide where the mens rea for murder is present but mitigating circumstances reduce the crime to culpable homicide. Involuntary culpable homicide is homicide where the mens rea for murder is not present but either the independent mens rea for culpable homicide is present, or the circumstances in which death was caused make it culpable homicide. Involuntary culpable homicide may arise in the context of an unlawful act or a lawful act. The mens rea requirement is different in each case.
The offence has previously been applied to individual defendants but following the collapse of a trial brought against Transco following the deaths of 4 people in a gas explosion in Larkhall in 1999 and other fatal events involving corporate bodies the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 has introduced a new statutary offence of corporate homicide into Scots Law.

The Sturgis Board of Aldermen voted Tuesday to rescind a previous vote against a contract with the Sturgis South Bike Rally Board after one motion to do so failed and several members of the community voiced their opinions.
The vote rescinded was a 3-2 vote on March 6 rejecting the rally board's contract offer of $8,500 toward such city services as security, sanitation and trash pickup. $8,500 was the city's final counteroffer when it rejected the rally board's $7,500 contract proposal for the 2011 rally, leading to the rally's cancellation.
In the past, the aldermen who voted to reject the contract have expressed concerns that the rally board might fail to pay its end of the contract, causing the city to lose money. Now that this vote is rescinded, aldermen say the contract has not been accepted, but it is back on the table.
The successful rescinding motion was the latter of two, both of which were made by Alderman Mike Collins and the first of which was rejected. The first motion came after Sturgis Mayor Walter Turner asked if one of the aldermen wanted to make such a motion.
"I'd like to open the board up for presenting more discussion on it," Turner said. "The rally board pretty much gave this board until the end of April to come to the decision whether to accept the contract or not. I think I've done everything I can do."
Alderman Quinnia Yates was absent due to an illness, and when Collins responded to Turner with a first rescinding motion, several aldermen objected to voting on it in Yates' absence, including Alderman Wayne McCool.
"This should be a five-member agreement," McCool said.
No one seconded Collins' first motion. The board then went into an executive session, and the nature of the executive session was unclear.
When the executive session ended, Collins asked the aldermen to consider a rescinding motion once more. This time, he said the decision would give the Sturgis city board an opportunity to explore options for the city of Starkville to help resolve funding issues surrounding the rally.
"I think we need to rescind that vote until we're able to talk with the city (of Starkville about what it can) offer," Collins said.
This time, the motion passed 4-0. Alderman Keith Parker, among other aldermen, said the rescinding does not mean the contract has been accepted.
"This is not saying we're having a rally," Parker said. "All we're doing is making that contract open for discussion again."
More than a dozen citizens appeared at the meeting, and many of them voiced strong opinions on the rally before Collins' first motion failed and during the executive session. One of them was William Lamb, who said he lives outside the city limits but still takes pride in the rally.
"It's pitiful," Lamb said. "Ever since these board members got here, they've run our town into the ground. They don't care about anything but putting money into their pockets."
Another citizen in favor of the rally, Bonnie Iperigne, said she lives in Ackerman but owns three partial buildings in Sturgis, and the loss of the rally in 2011 has proven costly. She said there is one funding avenue aldermen who oppose the rally are not exploring — money the city has saved up from past rallies, $50,000 of which she said is being earmarked for a new event center in Sturgis.
"Who's going to rent the center?" Iperigne said. "They're all avoiding the fact that they have CDs of $50-60 thousand dollars (from past rallies)."

Taking up space: in a parking lot outside a Muslim restaurant in Haidian, west Beijing
"Still Live no. 2" was a Freudian slip on the keyboard.
The alleyways and side streets beneath my neighborhood's tower blocks are filled with activity in warmer months: bird walkers, street food and magazine vendors, bracelet-sellers, construction workers and commuters.
Rickety chairs are everywhere: wooden ones at the bike-repairman's stall where his clients wait; metal ones with repaired legs outside the restaurant that serves searing Henanese dishes; and this rickety cane specimen hauled over from a Go game to save a VIP parking spot.
For even the VIPs need something special to ensure they get what's theirs.

Sure, purists won't like the fact that the Dubro screw is an Alan head and black oxide, too bad, go ahead and spend your money on those $3 + shipping screws and have a nice day.
Oh, ya, and if you're looking for a substitute for the BMW washer for the turn signal lens screw, this Honda part fit's perfectly.
Or you could convert to M4 x .7 and have your choice of nice stainless screws for cheap.
BTW, I did a thread on rust treatments for screws. That black oxide doesn't last long, and then looks like hell. Baked on Linseed oil over the black oxide looks just as black and seems to be extremely durable. Touch up the oil inside the hole after installation and just let it dry.

ALTERNATIVE NORTH - A Symposium on Contemporary Nordic Art
The two-day symposium brought together an international group of curators, art writers and programme directors to discuss and debate the state of contemporary art in the Nordic countries.
The symposium concentrated on the emerging and alternative art scene, with special attention to venues for experimental art and critical discussion. The weekend program did consist of presentations and panel discussions on specific topics, such as new developments in each country, similarities and differences, common opportunities and separate emphasises, unity and disparate regionalisms.
The symposium was organized by the Reykjavik Art Museum (www.artmuseum.is) in cooperation with the Living Art Museum (nylo.is), the Centre for Icelandic Art (www.cia.is), and the Nordic House in Reykjavik (www.nordice.is) and is presented in conjunction with Ting, The Nordic Arts Festival of the Nordic Council's 62nd Session.

text: The Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 wiki last edited by DoomsDay1990 on 07/26/14 02:45PM View full history OverviewTony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 is a skateboarding game developed by Neversoft and published by Activision (under their Activision o2 label) for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube on October 23, 2002. The fourth installment of the long-running Tony Hawk franchise and the sequel to Pro Skater 3, Pro Skater 4 is currently the last main game in the franchise to bear the Pro Skater name, adding new levels, skaters, and tricks (such as Flatland Tricks, Grind and Lip Trick Extensions, skitching vehicles, and Spine Transfers, which allow players to switch between connecting quarter-pipes or self-right themselves to exit quarter-pipes without bailing), as well as a new Career Mode system (where players skate around levels similar to Free Skate mode, and are given objectives and mini-games by talking with NPCs). A limited version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2's currency system returns (by completing objectives and special mini-games, as well as collecting cash pickups, players can buy clothes for the Create-A-Skater mode, decks, movies, cheats, secret skaters, and hidden levels).The game was ported to the PlayStation alongside the original release, and came to PC in 2003. The PlayStation version runs on a slightly-modified Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 engine, changing the level structure of most levels while replacing the Zoo, Carnival, and Chicago levels with two new levels: Sewers and Little Big World (the counter-tops of a giant kitchen).Handheld versions were released on both the Game Boy Advance and the Zodiac in 2004. Both games feature a 2D isometric viewpoint, and carry over several elements from the console versions.As in THPS 2 and 3, hidden crossover characters are included: Jango Fett, a bounty hunter from the Star Wars franchise, and Eddie the Head, mascot of the band Iron Maiden.GameplayThe core skating mechanics are mostly unchanged from previous games, but one major new feature is the spine transfer, which allows players to either switch to a ramp on the other side of a vert, level off when launched away from a ramp, or land correctly into a ramp if entering from a flat area.Also new to the game are pogo tricks, performed during manuals by tapping one of the face buttons. Depending on the trick, the skater will perform a handstand on the board or stand on the side of the board. Extensive use of the pogo system is effective during combos.The way goals are received is much different from previous games, adopting a sandbox-style system where goals are given by characters around the level. Completing a goal is rewarded with stat points that can assigned, and sometimes special trick slots. The game also reintroduces the concept of money, which was present in THPS 2 but not 3. Small amounts of money can be found throughout the level, usually by going up a ramp or grinding rails.Each skater, including the custom skater, has a unique "end" goal, which is often very elaborate. Completion of the goal nets a highlight video of the chosen skater, if using a pro skater.CharactersInitial CharactersTony HawkBob BurnquistKareem CampbellSteve CaballeroRune GlifbergEric KostonBucky LasekBam MargeraRodney MullenChad MuskaAndrew ReynoldsGeoff RowleyElissa SteamerJamie ThomasHidden CharactersEddie (Iron Maiden Mascot)Jango FettMike VallelyDaisy (Jenna Jameson)Little Person (resembles an Oompa Loompa - PS1 version only)Frycook (GBA version only)Mindy (GBA version only)Momo (GBA version only)Roger (GBA version only)In the game's Create-a-Skater mode, apparel can be unlocked to create Officer Dick and Ollie the Magic Bum from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3.LevelsCollegeSan FranciscoAlcatrazKonaShipyardLondonZooCarnivalChicago (A level from Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2)SoundtrackSongArtistT.N.TAC/DCLaborAesop RockBloodstains (Darkness Version)Agent OrangeSimple SongAvailManthemThe Bouncing SoulsBad DreamCity StarsBad FunThe CultOodles of O'sDe La SoulHouse of the Rising DrumDelinquent HabitsSeneca FallsThe DistillersBig ShotsEyedea & AbilitiesSkate and DestroyThe FactionDrunken LullabiesFlogging MollyMass AppealGang StarrSpokesmanGoldfingerNon Compos MentisHaiku D'EtatFreightlinerHot Water MusicThe Number of the BeastIron MaidenBeach Blanket BongoutJFAAll My Best Friends Are MetalheadsLess Than JakeWhenimondamicLootpackBodyrockMuskabeatz & Biz MarkieVersus of DoomMuskabeatz & Jeru the DamajaI'm a StarMuskabeatz & Melle MelExpress YourselfN.W.AGiantNebulaBlackballThe OffspringBy the Time I Get to ArizonaPublic EnemySavoir FaireRocket from the CryptMy AdidasRun D.M.CAnarchy in the U.K.Sex PistolsShimmySystem of a DownDig That Groove BabyToy DollsYer CountryU.S. BombsDeath AlleyZeke

Polkadots Junior Explorers Round 2
Round 2 of our Junior Explorer classes is about to come to an end this week with the children attending their very own DVD Premier event! Over the past 7 weeks the children have been Singing, Dancing, Learning and Playing like a Polkadot, as we learnt all about Chemical Change.
During each session the children are taught new singing skills and techniques so they can become more confident singers. They have also learnt the choreography for numerous Polkadots dances, but in particular they focused on learning the lyrics and moves to the Polkadots' Science Seeker song "Mixing Stirring". Each week the children were also able to engage in a different experiment which helped to develop their knowledge of what a Chemical Change is and what components are needed to create one. We made bread, salt dough, hokey pokey, and spent time just experimenting with various ingredients.
All of these activities have been filmed over the 7 weeks and all culminated last week for video week, where the children were able to make their very own music video to "Mixing Stirring". They got all dressed up like Crazy Polkadot Scientists and did a fabulous job putting all they had learnt into action to make an awesome music video. This week they will get to celebrate and watch their efforts at the Junior Explorers Premier. Each of the children have been able to invite a special guest along and each will take home their very own copy of the Junior Explorers Journey on DVD to have as a keepsake and to share with their rest of their family and friends.
I have been very lucky to be the teacher of this awesome group of children and have loved watching their desire to learn and explore, and their confidence to sing and dance grow over the 7 weeks. Thanks everyone for being such an awesome group. If you want more information about the Junior Explorer Classes that will be starting up in the new year, e-mail email@example.com and we will make sure you are kept up to date with developments.

Re: Why Upgrade?
Correction: it has 26% more resolution than the original DX. (got confused because the new HTC's coming out have 35% more resolution than current HTC models but the Moto's resolution was slightly higher on last year's models to begin with and therefore the increase is less.)

Gangan Joker's upcoming June issue is generously bringing not only the start of the serialization of P.A. Works' latest title, Tari Tari, it also also to arrive paired with a Tasogare Otome X Amnesia 3-D oppai mousepad.
Tasogare Otome certainly enjoys emphasizing the oppai of its ghostly female lead, thus many have come to admire her breasts a great deal – although they likely would have loved them even if they hadn't received so much glory. In any case, Gangan Joker sure seems to know how to get an otaku's attention – otherworldly oppai are most certainly fine too, particularly when as striking in size as Yuuko's.

Mississippi Open Offers Last Test Before C-USA Outdoor Championships
April 30, 2010
Memphis, Tenn. – Representing the final test prior the 2010 Conference USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, the University of Memphis track and field teams will travel to Oxford, Miss. for the Mississippi Open on Sat., May 1.
Saturday's events are slated to begin at 10:00 a.m. with the women's hammer and women's javelin competition. The women's 5,000m run at 11:00 a.m. is the first running event of the day. The last event of the day is scheduled to be the men's 4x400m relay at approximately 8:00 p.m.
The Tiger track squad had a very productive meet two weeks ago, hosting the Memphis Tiger Invitational. After a week of training, head coach Kevin Robinson is ready to see more improvements with the C-USA Championships looming.
"We need to turn in fast times, big throws and huge jumps in order to obtain good seeds heading into the conference meet so we can compete at the highest level come May 13," Robinson said. "We're really excited and expect to see some very positive things happen this weekend."
The Tigers hold seven qualifiers for the NCAA Track and Field East Regional slated to begin on May 28 in Greensboro, N.C. Senior Steffen Nerdal holds two marks including a 70.00m (229-08) mark in the hammer throw and 52.89m (173-06) mark in the discus. Junior Knut Syversen holds a regional qualifying mark of 60.90m in the hammer throw, but is inches away from qualifying in the discus and shot put. Senior Seth Major holds a qualifying mark of 53.72m (176-03.00) in the discus and is just shy of qualifying for the regional shot put competition.
Sophomore pole vaulter Karlis Pujats joins the fray of qualifiers with a vault of 5.18m (17-00.00). On the track, junior Richard Lowe is qualified for the 400m hurdles with a time of 51.32 seconds. Sophomore Robert Jackson is qualified for the 110m hurdles with a time of 14.21 seconds.
Junior sprinter LaShundra Kershaw holds two qualifiers. With a time of 11.61 seconds in the 100m dash, Kershaw is qualified for the regional. The Lambert, Miss., native is also qualified in the 200m dash after posting a school record time of 23.50 seconds earlier this season.

It's axiomatic to the point of cliché that in their second terms, presidents turn their attention to foreign affairs, where they have latitude to do what they want without having to get Congress's permission. By the time they've been in office for five or six years, they're so fed up with wrangling 535 ornery legislators that they barely bother anymore, and without an election looming (and with approval ratings often sliding down), they concentrate on what they can do on their own.
But faced with an opposition of unusual orneriness—perhaps more so than any in American history—Barack Obama has made clear that he won't just be concentrating on foreign policy. He'll be doing whatever he can to achieve domestic goals as well, even if Republicans have made legislating impossible. The conflict over the actions he has taken so far and the ones he'll be taking in the future are likely to define the last two and a half years of his presidency.
The decision on recess appointments handed down last week by the Supreme Court is only the beginning. When the Court ruled that Obama had exceeded the authority granted to him by the Constitution in making a group of appointments to the National Labor Relations Board, it wasn't particularly surprising, even though Obama's use of recess appointments has actually been quite spare compared to previous presidents. As a point of comparison, Ronald Reagan made 232 recess appointments, George W. Bush made 171, and Bill Clinton made 139; by February, Obama had made a mere 32. But the particular appointments that gave rise to this lawsuit occurred while the Senate was in pro forma session, a technique used precisely to deny the president the ability to make recess appointments. (Leaders essentially gavel the Senate into session, then gavel it out again without conducting any business.) Obama decided to test the whether the pro forma session restrained his recess-appointment power by naming appointees to the NLRB during one; the Court concluded that a pro forma session still counts.
When he took that action, Obama surely knew the question would wind up in front of the Court and be resolved; I assume he thought it possible that he might lose. But he was pushed to that point by Republicans' own unusual tactics. They decided that they would hold up nominations not as a way of stopping particular nominees they don't like, but as a way of sabotaging entire agencies. By refusing to confirm any nominees to the NLRB, they essentially shut it down, making it impossible for it to issue rulings in labor disputes—which in practice means that management always wins, since they're the ones with the power. GOP leaders tried to do the same thing with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, being quite open and candid about the fact that they objected to the CFPB's entire mission (imagine—protecting consumers!), and so would refuse to confirm any director to head the agency so it would be hamstrung.
It was these tactics and others—you could even call them a tyrannical usurpation of power from the opposition in Congress, if you were of a hyperbolic bent—that have led Obama to seek out creative, and perhaps even occasionally problematic, ways to govern despite an opposition party that is almost fanatically opposed not just to his policy goals but to the very idea of him governing at all. Don't forget that literally the day Obama took office in 2009, Republican congressional leaders gathered and decided that they would use every tool at their disposal to thwart anything and everything the new president wanted to do.
The idea that Barack Obama is a lawless tyrant has now moved from the Republican fringe into its center, and it is poised to become the organizing principle of their opposition from this point forward. The health-care reform enacted in the Affordable Care Act is achieving its goals too well to keep fighting it; Democrats have all the most popular arguments on economic issues; and though Obama may have poor approval ratings on matters like Iraq, he's in the same place as the public is, and the most unpopular thing of all is the kind of bellicose interventionism Republicans support.
Crying about presidential "lawlessness" has the advantage of avoiding those policy arguments, sounding principled about democracy, and simultaneously nurturing the anger of a base that has always believed Obama's presidency is illegitimate. (Consider that after the 2012 election, one poll found that 49 percent of Republicans believed that ACORN stole the election for Obama, which would have been awfully hard for the organization to do, the fact that it went out of business two years before being only one reason.) So the only real question about the lawsuit soon to be filed by House Speaker John Boehner (a man perpetually looking in fear over his right shoulder) with a yet-to-be revealed list of lawless actions by the president is what took the speaker so long.
If you ask Republicans what they mean when they call Obama a tyrant, you'll find that for every real example of Obama pushing at the limits of presidential authority, there are a dozen cases in which he did something squarely within his power, but they just didn't like the substance of what he was doing. They're angry that the Affordable Care Act was "rammed through" Congress without their consent—but by "rammed through" they mean over a year of hearings and meetings and votes.
They're angry that the administration has delayed the implementation of some parts of the ACA—but such delays in the implementation of complex laws are routine and have occurred many times before.
They're angry that the EPA will be setting new regulations on carbon emissions from power plants—but such regulations are not only within the agency's power to create, they're actually mandated by the Clean Air Act, as the Supreme Court ruled in 2007.
They're angry that the president ordered that the deportation of young people ("dreamers") who were brought to America as children and graduated high school or joined the military be given a low enforcement priority, allowing them to stay for now—but variants of the technique of effectively legalizing something by making it a low enforcement priority have been used in many places and at many times before.
You'll notice that in their litany of supposed "lawlessness," Republicans have no examples in which Obama acted to achieve something they agreed with him about on the substance. In most of these cases and others like them, what Republicans find particularly infuriating is that they thought they had successfully used the legislative process to stymie Obama, only to find that he had other means at his disposal to move forward on his goals.
Over the next two and a half years, there will be times when Barack Obama—like his predecessors did—calls his legal advisors into the Oval Office and asks them, "Do I have the power to do this?" Sometimes the answer will be yes, other times it will be no, and sometimes the answer will be that it's not clear, and the only way to know for sure is to go ahead and take the action, wait for a lawsuit, and let the Supreme Court decide. That's what happened in the recess appointments case: the Court had never addressed the issue before, so Obama took the risk and lost. Given the conservative majority on the Court, he may well lose other cases about presidential power. But at this point, nothing is going to stop Republicans from crying "Tyranny!" almost no matter what he does. We're in for a long two and a half years.

Face it, it takes a special skill to get your agenda through Congress. Barry thought he could "community organize" through Congress, rabblerouse, and force Republicans to bow to his majesty. Not only wouldn't they do that, but as his failures keep piling up he has lost all credibility to get anything done.
He may find an end run around Congress, but all it will take is a "stroke of the pen" to undo the damage.

Well, it takes some people skills - ya know - instead of insulting and demeaning people. Like telling them 'we won you lost - elections have consequences' and that he 'had to break the stimulus package into pieces so the Republicans can understand it' -- and when asked if he talked to the CEO of BP Oil after the oil spill he said 'why would I talk to a CEO, they only tell you what you want to hear'. He's much more comfortable in talking to Iran's leaders - I guess he respects them.

Obama hasn't been faced with an opposition any worse than Reagan faced, or Clinton faced. The problem with Obama is that he is the most arrogant, ego driven, inept, and INCOMPETENT President in all of U.S. history. He can't work well with his own party, and he's never tried to reach out to work with Republicans like Bill Clinton did. Even leading Democrats have complained that Obama doesn't work and play well with others. Obama's attitude from day 1 has been "We Won" and after that he's done his best to demonize and destroy Republicans. Any Republican that trust Obama for even a second is likely to find a political knife in their back and their throat slashed. As for recess appointments, other Presidents made them when the Senate was in recess, and the practice of pro forma sessions was perfected by the democrats to block Bush first, not the Republicans. Obama's is a master of deception and hypocrisy. He's tried to demonize the Republican for voting NO on raising the DEBT ceiling, when the only time Obama bothered to vote on the DEBT ceiling as a Senator he voted, NO, and added a speech about how irresponsible the DEBT was. Obama is a lawless, divisive, totally political failing floundering President, whom nobody trusts. That is his legacy.

Shut off his money. Until Obama learns some manners, every time he increases his lawlessness, cut off another program. Start by de-funding the IRS, then the EPA, then Eric Holder's organized crime operation, then NSA, etc. Obama must be stopped. He is destroying the country and he must be stopped , cold.

The SC decision on recess appts was 9-0.
Obama has a 40% approval and more importantly a 52-54% disapproval rating. The American people have seen through his lies and corruption. But Obama is going for broke. He will be judged one of the worst presidents in history. Maybe even worse than G. W. Bush.

Remarkable. If the situation were reversed, and a Republican president asserted his intention to unilaterally impose his policies regarding energy, or the environment, is there any doubt that the first voice of outrage would be Senator Barack Obama. And the second would be Paul Waldman. Obama shows that power trumps principle. He can't get Congress to enact his policies, so he throws constitutional principle aside and claims he has the executive power to effect his domestic agenda. Waldman, so anxious to see that agenda implemented, throws principle aside to wrap Obama's actions in this transparent sophomoric spin. Obama is a threat, because he will encourage future Republican (and Democratic) presidents to become super legislators if they don't get their way with Congress. Waldman is a threat because he's a political advocate masquerading as a journalist. The result for both is the same. Obama is now preaching to his choir, only. And no one outside the choir reads Waldman.

Obama is truly the worst President the US has ever had. Sad, given the hype that attended his election. I was willing to cut him some slack at first. the old "he inherited a mess" routine. But somewhere in those first four years should have come the point where he took control. Not doing so, whatever the opposition, is failure. Obama is a failure. Period. Full stop. At this rate, years after he is out of office he will still be whining about how "governing is hard - those mean Republicans wouldn't let me do anything". And no, "doing something" by breaking the law is no better than the unemployed man who robs a bank - Obama's executive overreach is lawless and unconstitutional - if he has no respect for the Constitution he swore to uphold then Congress should impeach him.

I could say a lot more but the ACA was literally stuffed down America's throat by all kinds of lawless acts, special deals/bribes for D's, not a single Rep was allowed to even see much less read the bill. Nancy bragged about we have to vote for the bill to see what is in it. In the Senate a special way to get it approved was to not allow Sen Brown from Mass to vote on it. Reed's iron fist control of the senate and NOT allowing even votes to happen on Rep house bills has left a bitter taste that will take a long time to got away. Going nuke on filibusterers was icing on the cake. There has not even been 1 normal budget since O arrived. After the bill was passed by hook and crook prez O has changed the law, an unlawful act by prez O on 20 occasions or so and counting. Reed says there will be no vote it won't pass anyway. The Senate has been hijacked by Reed the dictator. If you think anyone cam wave a magic want and forget these thing you are being naive.

This statement is totally wrong: "They're angry that the EPA will be setting new regulations on carbon emissions from power plants—but such regulations are not only within the agency's power to create, they're actually mandated by the Clean Air Act, as the Supreme Court ruled in 2007."
In the recently decided case of Utility Air Regulatory Group v. Environmental Protection Agency the Supreme Court said: "The Act-wide definition to which the Court gave a "sweeping" and "capacious" interpretation, id., at 528 , 532 , is not a command to regulate, but a description of the universe of substances EPA may consider regulating under the Act's operative provisions." http://www2.bloomberglaw.com/public/desktop/document/Util_Air_Regulatory_Grp_v_EPA_No_121146_121248_121254_121268_1212

Funny, all those years Bush was destroying the economy, and bankrupting the country through two unwinnable wars, he was hailed as a hero, and every Democrat who disagreed with him was unamerican. Why is that any different then what the Republicans are doing now? They"ve lost the last two presidential elections, still managed to keep control of the House, yet, instead of governing as they were elected to do, all they seem capable of is obstructing, obstructing, obstructing! Well, that and whining like small children who can't have their way and don't like the people telling them no. Name me one instance of the Republicans actually coming up with a usefull piece of legislation over the last 6 years.

And how many pieces of legislation has your hero John Boehner refused to bring up for a vote? Bet that number is way past 200. By the way, name me one of Bush II's programs that was voted for repeal 49 times (or is it 50+ now; I've lost count) by the House. Legislation which, by the way, was found legal by your other right wing heroes, the Supreme Court of the United States.

Pretty Little Liars Season 4 — Check Out These Behind-the-Scenes Pics!
Pretty Little Liars is in the middle of a grand experiment: Writer Joseph Dougherty wrote both Season 4, Episode 3: "Cat' Cradle" ;and Episode 4: "Face Time," and director Norman Buckley is working on directing both of them. Sounds fun, but hard!
Fortunately for fans, Joseph and Norman are keeping their Twitter followers in the loop with pics of their first day of filming. Because of the experiment, we're not positive if these scenes are from Episode 3 or 4 — we would guess they're from the third episode, but filming doesn't always happen in chronological order. Either way, they're fun to see.
Click through this gallery for Emily (Shay Mitchell) and Paige (Lindsey Shaw) by the pool, a night shoot, and more!

Pretty Little Liars Season 4 premieres on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

Silva gets chance of a lifetime with Pads
Pitcher competing for spot on roster
PEORIA, AZ Into a crowded Padres clubhouse walked another pitcher yesterday.
Walter Silva, signed to a make-good contract from the Monterrey Sultanes of the Mexican League, had made the 22-hour drive from his winter home in Mazatlan. Along the way, he dropped off his family in Mexicali, then pressed onward for his first major-league gig.
"It's a great opportunity," Silva said while munching on a Nutter Butter cookie.
Opportunity is precisely what the Padres are selling to a wide array of pitchers.
Huge salaries aren't being dangled by a franchise that chopped the major league payroll by some 40 percent. The expanded search also reflects the detours taken by homegrown pitchers such as Cesar Carrillo and Nick Schmidt, starters who each had reconstructive elbow surgery not long after the Padres selected them in the first round of the amateur draft.
Silva is 32, but he said he didn't become a pitcher until 2002. The Mexican League veteran, who was 7-8 last season with a 4.21 ERA, also maintains a home in Indio and is still applying lessons from his mentors, such as former major leaguer Sid Monge.
"He adds depth to a situation as far as our starters," manager Bud Black said.
Last month, Black watched Silva pile up 11 strikeouts across seven innings against Puerto Rico in the Caribbean World Series. Further input came from two of Silva's winter-ball teammates, Padres infielders Adrian and Edgar Gonzalez, who strongly recommended the right-hander.
"I saw a fastball that was at 90," Black said. "I saw a nice slider. I saw a curveball and changeup. It looks like he's going to be able to command his fastball. He got a late start at pitching but looks comfortable. His intangibles from what we've heard from the Gonzalez brothers are good. He's a good competitor."
If the Padres keep Silva on the major league roster or at Triple-A Portland, the team will send about $400,000 to the Sultanes; if he doesn't make the team, Silva will return to Monterrey.
Silva is the 34th pitcher in camp, not counting reliever Mike Adams, who is on the disabled list. Other candidates for the rotation behind Jake Peavy and Chris Young include Mariners castoff Cha Seung Baek, the presumptive No. 3 starter who will face the Indians on Friday in Goodyear; former Giant Kevin Correia, who also could fit into the bullpen; waiver-claim acquisition Jae Kuk Ryu, a 25-year-old former Met and Ray from Choong Chun Do, South Korea; and, among others, Padres sophomores Josh Geer and Wade LeBlanc.
"We're going to look at Silva as a starter, yet see where he fits," Black said.
The front office, meantime, anticipates that other pitchers will become available on the waiver wire or via trade in late March or early April. Last year, the Padres led the majors in waiver claims and they've already claimed two pitchers in 2009.

My name is Christian Lehman and I serve as the Residence Director of South Hall (our newest and recently opened hall on campus) and International Student Housing. I am also the Coordinator of Sustainability overseeing the University's fledgling recycling programs. I previously served as the RD for Thomas Hall as well as a Career Counselor. I have been at LeTourneau since 2006.
I graduated from Goshen College in 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies. I received my master's degree in cultural anthropology from Indiana University. In 2000, I married my wife, Krista, and then we spent the next five years serving as Residence Directors at Bethel College, in Mishawaka, Indiana, before coming to LeTourneau. We have a son, Samuel.
I was born and raised in the Marshall Islands and have lived throughout the world, including the United States and Indonesia. Because of all the travel I have been part of, I have been privileged to experience the breadth of God's earthly kingdom. When I can, I like to hang out with the residents, travel to new places, learn languages (I speak four), play racquet sports, read non-fiction, sail and enjoy all that life has to offer.
I like to think of my role as a residence director as being a bridge between what the university has to offer and developing the gifts and interests of the individual student. I enjoy the student interaction through prayer and mentoring that I'm honored to be a part of; this is what makes my role as a residence director more than a job, but truly a ministry.

In the beginning there was Jack, and Jack had a groove, and from this groove of all grooves came Joachim Garraud.
The commander in chief of the electronic spaceship, with a huge community of true fans called "Space Invaders ", started as a DJ in 1989 mixing for the first electronic radio show in France called "Maxximum", and played at the club "Boy" with another well-known French producer, Laurent Garnier.
Garraud's interplanetary hits over the years have been heard by millions, beginning with his first global masterpiece, "Love Don't Let Me Go."
Joachim is not your average DJ. He's ultimately a showman playing his keytar under the spotlights -- making the crowds dance happily behind their Space Invaders masks.
When you go to a show of Joachim Garraud's, you can see how close he is to his fans, and how much they enjoy that humble proximity.
Just listen to his brand new single "Maximus" feat. "A Girl and a Gun", released on his newly-launched, Los Angeles-based label, Space Invader Music, and you'll understand why Joachim gets his fans dancing in prestigious clubs around the world.
His unparalleled INVASION Show, which features cutting edge live audio and visuals triggered by Joachim, is truly a spectacle unmatched by any of Garraud's contemporaries, and beginning in 2013, the state-of-the-art show has added 3D visuals to the already stunning performance. With a European debut in Paris and a North American debut in Los Angeles, Invasion 3D has brought a completely new definition to the term, DJ set.
Speaking of the bridge between music and electronics, Joachim has been at the forefront of unifying his two real passions for years, which is surely why Pioneer has a strong, trusted collaboration with him to create their DJ tools with his expertise.
Those same passions led him to create his company "Zemixx", which brings services like LED screens and applications like "Frequent Clubber" for the clubs who would like to implement a higher prestige for their patrons.
"Zemixx" also produces videos for DJs to use in their live performances, one of whom needs no introduction: Mr. Steve Aoki.
"Zemixx" is also the name of Garraud's monthly podcast where Joachim brings attention to demos, bootlegs, classics, House/Techno/Electro news and all that will be heard on planet earth the following months. Since its creation, "Zemixx" is still the number one podcast in France, and it's rapidly growing internationally with one thousand subscribers per week!
As a producer and remixer, the list with whom Joachim Garraud has worked with is, needless to say, impressive.
Joachim has produced, co-produced or remixed top talent such as Kylie Minogue, Gorillaz, Cold Play, David Bowie, Jean Michel Jarre, Perry Farrel, Bob Sinclar, Deep Dish, Antoine Clamaran, Moby, Depeche Mode, Robbie Rivera, Cerrone, Cassius, David Guetta, Juliet, OMD, Paul Jhonson, Mutton Heads, Saffron Hill, and many more…
A classically-trained musician, Garraud brings a palpable professionalism and musicianship to the field of DJing -- using his exceeding knowledge of music and technology in ways that others in the dance music space just can not and will not do. Constantly evolving and progressing, Joachim Garraud will continue to press on with his Space Invaders into the future of Dance Music!
