AU Details 1792 Half Disme, Judd-71792 H10C Half Disme, Judd-7, Pollock-7, R.4 -- Obverse Damage -- NGC Details. AU. The 1792 half disme was the precursor to all later silver coinage in the United States, struck in the basement of sawmaker John Harper, on North Sixth Street in Philadelphia, while the U.S. Mint facilities, which opened for coinage in 1793, were being readied for production, a block away on North Seventh. (Harper had the Mint machinery housed in his basement when the coins were struck, around July 12, 1792.)

First Circulating Coin Struck on
Equipment From the U.S. Mint
The Old French word "disme" refers to one-tenth, in the United States' case that part of a dollar, linguistically related to Latin decima pars, also meaning the tenth part. By the time the Mint struck its first silver half dimes in the newly opened facility, in 1794 -- bureaucratic requirements limited the 1793 coinage to copper cents and half cents -- the "s" in disme had been dropped, in favor of the anglicized "dime." Despite their listing as a pattern in the Judd reference (Judd-7), the 1792 half dismes were coins intended to circulate, and circulate they did. It is difficult to make a firm estimate either of the original number minted -- most numismatists guess 1,500 pieces, based on the surviving evidence -- or the number that survive today. The variance there is wider, but somewhere from 100 to 300 survivors is in the ballpark.
The number of survivors is, at any rate, far less important than the number of collectors who desire to obtain an example of the 1792 half disme, a coin for which a strong case could be made that it is the most important U.S. Mint circulation issue, simply because it was the first -- even if it did predate the actual Mint structure by a few months. (The 1787 Fugio cents or coppers were also a circulating issue, the first struck under the authority of the United States, but they were not struck on U.S. Mint equipment or under Mint auspices, as the Mint itself did not yet exist.)
President Washington referred to the 1792 half disme issue in his November 1792 address to Congress: "There has also been a small beginning in the coinage of half dimes, the want of small coins in circulation calling the first attention to them."
The 1792 half dismes, as mentioned, were not only a monetary precursor of the silver coinage that followed, they were also stylistic precursors. Just as "disme" became "dime," the legend LIBERTY PARENT OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY, variously abbreviated or not on the 1792 half dismes, silver center cents, Birch cents, and the silver and copper 1792 dismes, became simply on the 1793 and later Mint issues -- LIBERTY. The right- or left-facing female Liberty personification, in many different incarnations and interpretations, would become a standard for all circulating coinage of the 18th and 19th centuries, until the portrayal of "dead presidents" (unfortunately) prevailed.
A collector could spend a lifetime assembling a tiny set of coins representing the first U.S. Mint issues of the various denominations and metals in the finest obtainable (or affordable) condition. A short list of such issues might include:
--1792 half disme, Judd-7 (circulating Mint issue, but not struck in the Mint building)
--1793 Liberty Cap half cent and 1793 Chain AMERI. (Sheldon-1) cent. The latter is considered the first coin struck in the U.S. Mint facility in 1793.
--1794 Flowing Hair half dime (first of the denomination struck in the Mint)
--1794 half dollar and 1794 silver dollar
--1795 half eagle
--1796 dime and 1796 No Stars quarter eagle
It is exciting to consider that the assembling of a collection of nine coins could be a life's work for some history-minded numismatist. The present piece might put such a collector far along the path, as it offers a wealth of detail with one drawback that might make it more affordable. The surfaces are glossy golden-brown and blue-steel overall, showing semiprooflike reflectivity on both sides and only a trace of actual wear. Most of the original detail remains, and a few minor contact marks appear, but the coin has a deep attempted puncture at 10 o'clock on the obverse, as though the coin were being holed for suspension. The attempted puncture does not penetrate to the reverse, but the surfaces are a tad wavy. This coin is still quite attractive and would be an exceptional example if not for the obverse damage. Even in this condition, it is inconceivable that this coin will not attract serious competition from multiple bidders.

I implore you, though, to read my disclaimer at the bottom before making any comments on this piece. Doc Rivers has always seemed genuine. He's always seemed like a decent person whose values are in order. And while you never know what a person is like behind closed doors, away from the cameras, and totally un-guarded, you can piece together certain things that can complete the picture. It's not unlike an archaeologist piecing together a picture of a dinosaur from an incomplete skeleton. You find enough of the right bones, and eventually the entire picture comes into focus, regardless of a few missing pieces. The biggest piece of determining who anyone is, is how others speak of him or her. And the next bad thing anyone says about Doc as a person will be the first thing I've ever heard. Kevin Garnett ...

Reviews for KNOX COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY
1 person found this review helpful
KCHS changed from a no-kill cat shelter to an aggressive kill agency on 1/1/10. All of the former humane goals have been abandoned. KCHS' publicly stated policy, aired at KCHS meetings and supported by KCHS ' Board of Directors, is to kill all ferals, strays, ill cats as well as nursing mothers/kittens. Fat cats or "ugly" cats receive the same treatment. This is not a cat friendly organization. In 2011, 5,342 cats were taken into what is the size of a double wide trailer with a basement. Since there only a few paid employees, and fewer volunteers, how many of these cats lived to be placed? We will never know since there ares NO statistics other than the intake number. A request for adoption statistics was refused, not even a ballpark percentage number would be given. KCHS has an "open door" policy which results in the deaths of thousand of cats every year while claiming to be no-kill. Beware!

I never use Sky on demand. If I miss an episode of Arrow, for example, it's repeated another half a dozen times throughout the week. I always use iPlayer on YouView, not Sky, and the picture quality is fantastic in HD.
The picture quality is better on sky. The HD on iplayer is proper HD.
Youview is vastly inferior to sky at the moment anyway because there are no live premium channels and no sport. You can't even have espn.

Green Bay Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy does think overexposure is a concern the National Football League faces. He does think the fan experience needs to be improved at games. And he declined to offer much comment about extending the contracts of coach Mike McCarthy and general manager Ted Thompson.
Those were among the topics Murphy addressed during a 54-minute speech at a breakfast sponsored by the Council of Small Business Executives on Tuesday at the Wisconsin Club.
Murphy talked about both the business and challenges facing the Packers and the NFL. Murphy, 58, has been with the Packers for more than six years. He is a member of the league's Management Council Executive Committee, Competition Committee and Health and Safety Committee.
After his remarks, he answered four questions from the audience of 125 people.
Murphy did list overexposure as one of the challenges of the league and referenced comments made recently by Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who said about the NFL: "Pigs get fat; hogs get slaughtered. And they're getting hoggy."
Cuban was talking about the expanded Thursday night package of NFL telecasts, which includes games on CBS and the NFL Network.
"I think they are good words of caution, but the reality is that the popularity of the NFL on TV is so strong now," Murphy said. "The ratings really dwarf...any other property on TV."
Murphy noted that of the 35 highest-rated programs on broadcast TV last year, 34 were NFL games.
"The reality is, and you are probably this way, people don't watch television live anymore," Murphy said. "You can watch it on demand. You can DVR it. But football and other sports it's one of the few things that people want to watch live. And advertisers are willing to pay a premium because of that."
Murphy said that with high-definition television, the Sunday Ticket and the Red Zone, the home experience has caused fans in some markets to stay put to watch NFL football rather than attend games.
"We haven't seen it in Green Bay, but other teams are really having a hard time selling out," Murphy said. "People are saying, 'Why should I pay $100 for a ticket when I can sit at home and have everything in front of me?' Fantasy football is a factor. So we want to make sure that that experience, not just in the stadium, but the whole game experience, needs to be really positive and unique. That's a priority for us."
Murphy was asked if the club was negotiating to extend the contract of McCarthyand if Thompson had indicated he was interested in staying with the team beyond the 2016 draft, when his contract expires.
The Journal Sentinel reported Sunday that the team is negotiating with McCarthy to extend his current deal, which takes him through the 2015 season.
"We really don't talk about contracts and contract negotiations in the press," Murphy said. "The way the Packers are structured our general manager he's completely responsible for football. So any negotiations would take place between Ted and Mike. The general manager reports up to me. So, I'm not going to get into the specifics. But that's kind of the structure of the Packers.
In discussing the Lambeau Field upgrades, which will be unveiled in July, Murphy mentioned a 50-foot replica of the Lombardi Trophy to be located at the new east gate entrance.
And, natch, he was asked about Brett Favre returning to be honored in Green Bay.
"My hope is in 2016 he will be a first-ballot (Pro Football) Hall of Famer. Our hope is to have his number retired and have him inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame prior to that."
WAUK-AM makes changes
Two sports talk shows at WAUK-AM (540) have been changed, according to the station.
"The D-List" with Drew Olson and Dan Needles loses its name.
The new show, "Alex & Drew," will feature Olson and Alex Petakas during the entirety of the program from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. weekdays. Needles will cut back two hours of the show and will be on the air with Olson and Petakas from noon to 1 p.m. weekdays.
The new show debuts Wednesday. Listeners were told about the changes during the last show of the "The D-List" on Monday afternoon. The show had a nine-year run.
Needles, the sports director of WISN-TV (Channel 12), was looking to reduce his radio role because of his workload at WISN. The radio station considered giving Needles off Tuesdays year-around, and Thursdays during the football season, but thought that would disrupt the continuity of the show. His one-hour segment is called "Needles at Noon."
Meanwhile, Mitch "Thunder" Nelles steps away from the "Homer & Thunder" show, which airs on 540 from 3 to 6 p.m. weekdays. Gabe Neitzel, who has been producing the show, is to replace Nelles as the new partner for Steve "The Homer" True. Nelles is to focus on marketing duties for WAUK, which bills itself as ESPN Milwaukee.

CiCi's Pizza has made public its plans to add 500 restaurants to its growing portfolio throughout the next eight to 10 years.
"Our 'One Brand' mission is well underway, ensuring we have a repeatable approach to operations that gives guests across the country a consistent, high-quality experience with every visit," said Mike Shumsky, CiCi's Pizza CEO. "Our team of industry leaders will take CiCi's to the next level and grow the company."
CiCi's has hired industry veterans Bill Spae and Nancy Hampton to drive the expansion of the more than 600-unit company. Spae brings more than 30 years of experience as a president, CEO, investor and franchisee to his position as chief development officer (CDO).
Hampton, a 20-plus year restaurant veteran, will serve as chief marketing officer (CMO). She brings experience from big-name brands such as Chili's Bar & Grill and Corner Bakery Café, and most recently ran her own consulting firm.
Both executives were brought on to help lead CiCi's strategic growth plan. Spae's team will seek out developers and potential franchisees, particularly those interested in multi-unit agreements. Additionally, the plan targets nontraditional locations such as airports.
"CiCi's Pizza has an opportunity to double in size," Spae said. "The company's value proposition will remain attractive in the marketplace going forward, and CiCi's pizza buffet is a simple concept that translates well to all kinds of customers."
Through recent market and demographic research, the company has identified the prime areas of the Inland Empire, Chicago, Upstate New York, Philadelphia, Miami and Phoenix, for brand expansion.
Marketing will play a key role in CiCi's strategic plan. As CMO, Hampton will draw on her experience leading successful reimage campaigns, increasing sales and profits and delivering consistently positive ROIs.

A jailed Egyptian immigrant plots murder, bombings and a prison break with members of his jihad terrorist group during regular visiting hours.
A Palestinian arrested after entering the United States with bomb-making manuals uses his jailhouse phone privileges to call a friend who patches him through to a partner in New Jersey plotting to blow up the World Trade Center.
As authorities investigating the Sept. 11 hijacking attacks choke off funding of terrorist groups and detain or arrest potential suspects, a disturbing reality has emerged: Even after terrorists are investigated, captured and locked up, they may still plot mayhem and communicate with fellow devotees from behind bars.
With that in mind, the Justice Department on Oct. 30 dramatically extended its powers over jailed terrorists and suspects, including a controversial order authorizing eavesdropping on attorney-client communications.
That move was made, in part, because of Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind spiritual leader of Egypt's largest terrorist organization who was sentenced to life in prison for several violent plots, according to Justice Department sources.
Rahman allegedly has issued several statements from prison despite scrutiny by authorities. They included two last summer in which he withdrew support for his terrorist group's cease-fire in Egypt.
According to court testimony, Rahman, who also is a key figure for Osama bin Laden's terrorist network, issued a fatwa, or holy decree, from prison approving strikes against Americans. The decree reportedly was given to an Al Qaeda member training at a camp in Afghanistan in late 1998.
In addition to the new rules allowing officials to eavesdrop on lawyer-client communications, President Bush last week took what could be an even more drastic step by authorizing military tribunals for foreign terrorists--a move that even supporters acknowledge would severely limit the rights and freedoms of those accused and convicted.
"They don't deserve the same guarantees and safeguards that we use for an American citizen," Vice President Dick Cheney said last week.
Whether a gang leader is running a drug operation from behind bars or a con man uses jailhouse pay phones to rip off the elderly, the walls of America's penitentiaries echo a rich history of criminal acts perpetrated by those imprisoned.
Exploiting jail privileges easy
While jailed criminals can easily exploit phone, mail, visiting and other privileges, the Justice Department recognized five years ago how dangerous such abuses could be in the case of Rahman. The department implemented special restrictions in May 1996. Those regulations allow an intelligence agency chief, the attorney general or the head of a federal law-enforcement agency to severely limit a federal prisoner's reach into the world if "there is a substantial risk that a prisoner's communications or contacts" could result in further acts of "violence or terrorism."
Specific limitations are not detailed in the regulations, but are decided on a case-by-case basis. They can include solitary confinement to keep terrorists from relaying messages through other inmates, mail restrictions as well as elimination of visitation and phone privileges.
Currently, the Justice Department says a small number of inmates--far below 1 percent--are subject to the special national security and anti-terrorism restrictions.
The Oct. 30 rules on the monitoring of lawyer-client communications also allow the 1996 anti-terrorism restrictions to be extended to those in federal detention, including those not yet convicted or even charged.
Civil libertarians and defense lawyers have criticized the new powers. The Justice Department says safeguards barring prosecutors or investigators from reviewing legitimate attorney-client communications will be protected.
Rahman's 1995 conviction as the leader of a terrorist group centered not on the sheik's actions, but on his words. He was convicted of seditious conspiracy, bombing conspiracy, soliciting the murder of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and soliciting an attack on an U.S. military installation.
His followers were preparing to bomb bridges, tunnels and landmarks in New York and, prosecutors allege, Rahman gave them important blessings for the deeds. He was sentenced to life in prison on Jan. 17, 1996.

Mandragore by Annick Goutal
Predominantly a light citrus scent but so mysterious to me. Effervescent to start and an enigma with the 'mandrake powder' and anise. I didn't get much ginger but I guess it could be adding to the 'fizz' aspect of this scent. Totally in love with the top notes too. I'll be corny and camp - I'll say it's quite magical and 'shiny' in character. I tried the EDT which I found pleasantly lasting for approx. 2 hours to the final light dry down . The lasting power is marginally Ok for an EDT but I bet the EDP is marvellous. Despite the short longevity ,this is an unusual enough citrus based scent for me to love.

After nine weeks of grueling competition, we finally have our prep football playoff field set.
Tribland has a total of 12 playoff teams — three in Class C-2, two in D-1, five in D-2, and two playing in the six-man tournament.
Starting in C-2, representing Tribland are the usual suspects in St. Cecilia and Sutton. Joining them is Fillmore Central, which, with a record of 7-2, tallied its most wins since 2006 when the Panthers finished 8-2.
Despite falling to Sutton on Oct. 17, the Bluehawks' wild card points have them seeded fourth while the Mustangs are sixth. Fillmore Central is the No. 10 seed.
STC will match up with No. 13 Southern (7-2), whose only two losses are to No. 9 Malcolm and No. 3 Freeman, both of which are 8-1. Sutton faces No. 11 Hartington Cedar Catholic (7-2). Again, HCC's two losses are to playoff teams — No. 1 Battle Creek and No. 5 Aquinas Catholic. Fillmore Central will take on 8-1 Oakland-Craig, whose only loss is to Battle Creek.
The playoff field in C-2 was trimmed this year from 32 teams to just 16, meaning tougher competition in earlier rounds than in the previous 32-team format.
Should Sutton and Fillmore Central continue to win, the two will meet in the semifinals. Either team would only see St. Cecilia in the championship game, if it were to play out that way for those teams.
After a 0-3 start, Blue Hill won its final five games to capture the No. 6 seed in Class D-1. One of its losses was to No. 2-seeded Bruning-Davenport/Shickley, who enters the playoffs with a 7-1 record — the only loss was to the No. 1 seed in the East bracket, Friend.
The Eagles' first-round game is against No. 15 Omaha Christian Academy (2-6), while the Bobcats will play No. 11 North Central (6-2). The only way we could see an all-Tribland D-1 matchup is if both teams advance to the title game.
Should Blue Hill advance to the second round, it will likely face No. 3 Hemingford (8-0), which will make for a tough second game.
Five Tribland teams enter the D-2 tournament, but, at most, three will advance, as the first round includes a pair of week 9 rematches.
No. 1 Exeter-Milligan (8-0) will play No. 16 Red Cloud (4-4), after the Timberwolves beat the Warriors 50-6, and No. 5 Giltner (6-2) faces No. 12 Lawrence-Nelson (5-3). The Hornets beat the Raiders 56-18 Thursday.
Kenesaw claimed the No. 3 seed in D-2 and will play No. 14 Meridian (4-4). The Blue Devils would only face another Tribland opponent in the semifinals. Kenesaw fell 52-26 to Exeter-Milligan but beat Lawrence-Nelson 62-22.
In six-man competition, Silver Lake (7-1) will face Riverside (7-1). Both teams' only loss was to 8-0 Spalding Academy, which will be Wilcox-Hildreth's (7-1) first-round opponent.
While looking at the brackets and some of the past results, I thought it would be fun to find the formula for becoming a state champion.
Disclaimer: This was meant only as a fun, non-biased observation of trends seen in previous state champions and applying to this year's fields. All averages used are from regular seasons, going into the playoffs.
Sadly, there is not an easy way of finding historical numbers and games in six-man, so this formula applies only to Classes C-2, D-1 and D-2.
Let's take a look at the C-2 bracket first.
Two-loss teams: No team has won the state title with more than one loss since 2005, and in the previous seven years, only one state champion wasn't undefeated. So eliminating all teams with more than one loss removes seven teams, including Fillmore Central, from the picture.
Defense: Over the past seven years, the most points per game allowed by a state champion was 12.9. Only six teams follow this qualification, including Sutton and St. Cecilia.
Semifinals experience: All but one state champion the last seven years was in the semifinals the previous year. Using that fact, St. Cecilia, North Platte St. Patrick's and Sutton are eliminated.
Finals experience: Once again, only one of the previous seven title winners was in their first championship game. Going with the odds, Malcolm is eliminated leaving Battle Creek and Aquinas Catholic.
Offense: Both pass the offensive eye test, averaging more points per game the lowest state champion over the previous seven years (Blue Hill scored just 27.9 points per game in its 2008 championship year).
Tiebreaker: Battle Creek appears to have the formula to win this year's title after averaging more points for and against than Aquinas.
Hopefully you've got the hang of the formula. Here it is in Class D-1.
Two loss teams: No two-loss team has won the D-1 championship since 1997. Getting rid of all teams with more than one loss eliminates 22 of the 32 teams, including Blue Hill.
Defense: Over the past seven years, the most a team has given up is 15.9 points per game.
Only three teams in this year's playoff field have given up less — Amherst, Hemingford and Creighton.
Semifinals experience: All three teams were in the semifinals last year, as Amherst was in D-2 last season.
Finals experience: Again, no team is eliminated as all three would not be making their first trip to the finals.
Offense: No state champion over the previous seven years has scored less than 50.8 points per game. This season, Amherst failed to do so, leaving Creighton and Hemingford.
Tiebreaker: Hemingford gave up an average of 3.5 more points this season than Creighton, but it also scored 15.6 more. State championship formula goes to Hemingford.
Class D-2
Two loss teams: Only seven of the 32 teams remain in Class D-2 after eliminating all those with two or more losses, which includes Giltner, Red Cloud and Lawrence-Nelson
Defense: Over the last seven years, the most points given up per game by a state champion was 15.5. This eliminates nobody, because all of the remaining seven have given up more.
Semifinals experience: After taking only the teams that were in the semifinals the previous season, just Exeter-Milligan and Stuart remain, which means Kenesaw was eliminated.
Finals experience: Both teams have been to the championship before, so this step eliminates neither.
Offense: The lowest points per game mark in the previous seven years was 43.3, which both teams surpassed this year.
Tiebreaker: Exeter-Milligan gave up 4.8 more points per game, but scored 9.7 more points per game this year than Stuart. The formula gives the Timberwolves back-to-back state titles.
Again, don't read too much into this "state championship formula." It was just a fun way of examining the brackets and guessing which team will be hoisting the trophy.
If you're team didn't have the winning formula, do not be troubled. There's a reason the games aren't played on paper.

Omg is that really it?? Is it finished? Is it done? Are we really at an end??
Am I really asking too many questions??
I cannot believe we've actually managed it!
Yes Pcyco please send it back home to me and I will remove the film... and then I shall either bronze it as Tim so thoughtfully suggested.. or put it on the road in front of my house and drive back and forth over it repeatedly while chanting maniacally...
Thanks everyone... looks like we finally did it!
News on camera 7a to be announced shortly....
If you saw a man drowning and you could either save him or photograph the event...what kind of film would you use?
I vote for the driving over it option. Perhaps the sacrifice of camera 6 will being about the miraculous return of the 7s!

Real news or just wishful thinking?
EDIT: I get it. You mean a new camera 7, not an old camera 7.

Ah, Camers 7....I know it's over, and it never really began, but in my heart it was so real!
"He took to writing poetry and visiting the elves: and though many shook their heads and touched their foreheads and said 'Poor old Baggins!' and though few believed any of his tales, he remained very happy till the end of his days, and those were extraordinarily long "- JRR Tolkien, ' The Hobbit '.
The finest image I ever took, I took with Camera 7. prove it otherwise. it was a Pulitzer prize winner, I am sure.

OKAY! Those who took a photo with Cameras 7s.... describe it. I am sure they were all Pulitzer Prize winners...
Mine was a shot from a cafe in Aachen at sunset. The sun was going down and there is a piece of old arched roman wall in the foreground overlooking this plaza with a number of cafes in it. In the background is a row of older but well maintained stone buildings with the spires of Charlemagne's Cathedral glinting in the spectral light of dusk behind them.

That is too long ago for my short term memory, and too recent for my long term memory!
Photography is a complex and fluid medium, and its many factors are not applied in simple sequence. Rather, the process may be likened to the art of the juggler in keeping many balls in the air at one time!

If the November election was held today, and only business owners could vote, President Barack Obama would lose in a landslide, according to a new Gallup poll. The survey, released Thursday, found that 35 percent of that relatively small minority of Americans approve of the job he's doing, while 59 percent disapprove.
The figure slipped from 41 percent approval in the first quarter of 2012, Gallup said. The organization underlined that the decline came in March and April, well before the Republican onslaught on his remarks about small businesses owing some of their success to government investments in things like infrastructure and education.
"Thus it is not yet clear whether those comments have led to further deterioration in Obama's standing among small-business owners," Gallup said.
The president might also write off the bulk of voters from the farming, fishing or forestry sectors. His approval rating there is just 34 percent, against 57 percent disapproval. Those in construction and mining also seem to favor Republican challenger Mitt Romney: Obama's ratings there break down to 37 approve to 53 percent disapprove.
Maybe the president could call in some help from workers from the installation or repair fields, where 44 percent approve of the job he's doing — up sharply from 32 percent in the first quarter of 2012.
Overall, 47 percent of Americans approved of the president's work, and 47 percent disapproved — a slight improvement from a 45-48 percent split in the first quarter.
Where does Obama do best? He's running 52 percent approval to 43 percent disapproval among professional workers, 51-45 percent among clerical or office workers and 50-40 percent among service workers. And the survey showed him making gains from the first quarter of 2012 among seven of the 11 professional categories Gallup used, stalled in two and down in two.

28 year old woman | Los Altos, CA, USA | Seeking men 24-36 within 150 miles
Active within 3 days
Anything but ordinary...
Intelligent, inquisitive, and ambitious. Genuine, loving, and affectionate. Passionate, adventurous, and free-spirited. Quirky, creative, and athletic. Wholesome, grounded, and family-oriented. Perceptive, thoughtful, and self-aware. As a woman, I'd like to consider myself wholesome and well-rounded. I place a great amount of value on family, faith, compassion, and trust, and do my best to live my life with as much honor and integrity as humanly possible. In a potential partner, I'm ultimately looking for someone whose values and desires strongly align with mine. It'd be wonderful to find someone who's passionate, spontaneous, and adventurous; grounded, motivated, and family-oriented. There's nothing more attractive to me than a man with a genuine heart, an eager mind, and an insatiable thirst for life. A few other random facts: I just completed my Master's degree in Marital and Family Therapy, and I'm currently in the process of exploring PhD programs in Clinical Psychology. I have a background in Early Childhood Development and Autism Spectrum Disorders. For the past year and a half, I worked as a family therapist in a San Diego-based substance abuse recovery program for teens. I now work with troubled youth through a nonprofit organization based out of San Jose. Family is by far the most important part of my life. I've been blessed with two amazing parents, who are about to celebrate 35 years of marriage, in spite of some incredible circumstances. I was born in Northern California, but raised in Hawai'i. For the past 8 years, I was living, working, and going to school in San Diego. Wanting to be a little closer to my family, I relocated to the Bay in October. I absolutely love the ocean. I'm the most at home near the water, and I don't think I could ever imagine a life without the beach. My favorite color is yellow, if that's any indication of who I am as a person...(i.e. bright, special, unique) I love children, I love to play, and I love to laugh. I am also equally capable of engaging in stimulating, intellectual conversations. I'm allergic to cats, and I greatly prefer large dogs to small ones. From early on, my daddy made sure his girls could 'properly' handle a football. I was a competitive swimmer most of my life, as well as a dancer and an artist. I love, love, love to read. I tend to devour books from cover-to-cover, and bookstores are my version of Candy Land. Growing up, my mother actually had to put a limit on the number of books I was allowed to leave the bookstore with. She also closely monitored the amount of time that I was allowed to spend browsing. I can't whistle, and I'm a bit of a klutz, but I fully embrace all of my shortcomings. I laugh at myself daily, and love nothing more than to put a smile on faces of those around me. I've only recently discovered the joys of traveling (Spain and New Zealand), and I cannot wait to do more of it. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Unless we have another planet to send our children and grandchildren to
Original post made by Elizabeth Lasensky, Menlo Park: other, on May 12, 2007
Since the rise of our industrial age, the CO2 concentration has risen to 380 ppm. The earth's temperature has risen by about 1.6 degrees.
If we continue to do nothing to stop global warming, by the end of this century the CO2 level could triple and the earth's temperature could rise as much as 5 degrees.
Half of Florida and much of the eastern part of Menlo Park will disappear under water, at the same time we will experience severe droughts and loss of snowpacks.
Denial doesn't change the facts. Global warming is real just ask the drowning polar bears.
Unless we have another planet to send our children and grandchildren to, the wise course of action is to do everything in our power to save our planet. And now is a good time to start.
-- Elizabeth Lasensky

UT extension offers class teaching basics of canning
With all the fresh produce coming in from local gardens, a group of Fayette County residents recently donned their aprons and preserved some of nature's bounty by participating in the first Canning College for Beginners hosted by University of Tennessee Extension.
The first class was held at the Fayette Ware Vocational Training Center. The youngest participant to join the class was 12-year-old Mary Grace Thompson. Class projects included canning organically grown carrots and a tasty zesty summer salsa.
UT Family and Consumer Science agent, Sherri Morris, led the canning class. "Each participant gained hands-on experience on proper canning techniques, proper food handling and gained insight into why foods are preserved using either a water-bath canner or a pressure canner," said Morris. "People are wanting to have more control over their food supply and with the economy as it is, we are seeing a resurgence in home food preservation and an increase in requests for canning classes for beginners."
During the class, questions were answered concerning safe food preservation methods. In addition, Morris provided participants with helpful tips -- like how to identify reliable sources of food preservation information and to preserve specified food products using USDA recommended methods.
"Canning College for Beginners will hopefully be an annual event for the community," said Morris.
The next class in the series is Wednesday at Somerville First Presbyterian Church, 12940 S Main Street, in the Fellowship Hall and kitchen. The class will feature canning procedures for jams, jellies and preserves using a water bath canner. The $25 class fee covers the costs of all produce and supplies. Each participant will take home a product from each recipe, the UT Extension Canning Booklet and additional information and products. Plans are also in the works for a food drying class in the fall.

Brant Marshall added a post in a topic IPS4 Feature PlanWas anyone able to figure out why this doesn't work on 4.0.8?
@Charles @Rikki
Brant Marshall added a post in a topic IPS 4 is not something I would wantWhat a lot of people are saying throughout this topic is the word "new". I love the new design / layout, its simple, effective, and quite professional in my opinion. IPB 3.x kept the same format and design throughout its time, with several tweaks and what not, the layout and design pretty much stayed the same throughout the 3.x releases.
To put this into prospective, IPB 3.0.0 RC1 was released in mid 2009, we're now entering 2015, You cannot expect everything to stay the same. The company has grown tremendously. Talent has changed, and gotten better, same with what people want, and what's "in" at the moment.
You can't fault IPS for changing something that's almost six years old. You're used to it, you've probably started using IPB in the 3.x era, which is completely understandable, but for the people that don't like this design, or the changes that have been made, go look at past versions from years ago, IPB 2.x, etc. See how the company, and their software has adapted over time.
I applaud what IPS has done, and will continue to do with their software, the look of it, and the functionality of it.
Brant Marshall added a comment [Beta 3a] Indefinite redirect during database installI went through one of my cPanel error logs, and it has this;
Backend fatal error: PHP Fatal error: IPS\\_Db::i() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/brantpag/public_html/ipdev/conf_global.php' (include_path='.:/opt/alt/php53/usr/share/pear:/opt/alt/php53/usr/share/php') in /home/brantpag/public_html/ipdev/system/Db/Db.php on line 103\n

Brant Marshall added a post in a topic HostingI have, yes. Not at the moment as I'm updating a few things though.
Brant Marshall added a post in a topic HostingI definitely believe its a good idea to prepare for the future, indeed, but when you're talking about a hosting environment, most people pay a monthly fee to their provider. Ultimately the community that I'm currently running has over 600 users and we experience zero server load issues (on a shared host), so I think you should be fine on a shared host for the time being.
IPS has really worked on performance optimization in IPS 4.0, and they are continuing working on it, your community should run fine without having to shell out money that you don't necessarily have.
I hope this helps!
Brant Marshall added a post in a topic Moderator Options: Does anybody use Unlock/Lock Time?Depends on what kind of community you're running. IPS likes to provide dynamic features for all types of communities.
For instance, if you were to host a raffle, or a giveaway, or something similar, you can create a thread documenting information about the event, and you can use that thread for users on your website to sign up. Most giveaways, raffles, and events have a specific close date, and time. Human errors come up, and sometimes closing a thread such as this in a timely fashion may prove a bit difficult, which is what I use it for.
Users are still able to review over the thread and its information, without being able to contribute to its content.
Brant Marshall added a post in a topic Forum Community Website rated #1 and uses IP Board / InvisionCongratulations! I see that people are recommending getting a custom theme for your forums - that's probably something I would do as well, however! 4.0 is right around the corner, so if you guys plan on upgrading when the first stable release is out, then I'd recommend waiting to have a design built.
Once again, congratulations!
Brant Marshall added a post in a topic cannot fix this issueI'd recommend leaving discussions regarding bugs in the Bug Tracker, so the people working to resolve the issue can keep up with the discussion, having it in two different places won't speed up the process, it will most likely slow it down.
Brant Marshall added a post in a topic IPS 4.0 Default ThemesI think it all depends on personal preference. 4.0 is a slick, clean, professional design that can be customized fairly easily. As time progresses, things become outdated, and its time for an "upgrade", i definitely believe the design in 4.0 is a very nice update indeed.
Brant Marshall added a post in a topic Back to top optionMiddle mouse button squad
In reality, it appears that this thread is literally going back and forth about a link that most people find irrelevant, it just goes to show that people will find something to complain about.
All companies are unique with their designs, and functionality, if they weren't, we'd all be on the same software. There's things about IPS that most of us really like, and won't find anywhere else. If a "Back to Top" button is legitimately a concern, there's no reason why you can't just add it yourself, as demonstrated within this topic, most people don't have a care in the world for something so small, to be honest with you, its quite useless in my opinion.
Brant Marshall added a post in a topic Back to top optionLOL! I'm done. hahahaa
Brant Marshall added a post in a topic Modify 3.4 Now or After 4.0 Is Released?4.0 is a completely different design, so pretty much all 3.x skins will no longer work in 4.x.
Depending on how early you're going to be switching over to 4.0 (beta releases aren't always the best for massive communities), i'd honestly just wait until 4.0 is released.

Very Superstitious! The Origins of Several Superstitious Beliefs
Do you know why it's tradition to get spanked on your birthday? Or why gamblers blow on the dice? Or why people knock on wood for good luck? These and other superstitions are discussed in this article.
The tradition of getting spanked on one's birthday goes back to both ancient Roman and Germanic tribes who believed that flogging instilled fertility and longevity. Switching young girls and whipping women was a custom lasting centuries, and was eventually applied to everyone. At one point in history, people believed this superstition so much that they would line up with their bottoms exposed on their birthday waiting to be spanked; some even lied about their birth date just to ensure offspring.
Gamblers blowing on their dice before throwing them goes back to ancient sorcerers who believed that the future could be chosen by envisioning and "conjuring" what your future would bring. All you had to do was ward away evil spirits who would likely interfere with your plans. Since breath was considered the ultimate gift from the gods–the kiss of life, to return it was to honor the gods and gain their favor, for which they would grant protection and fortune.
Knocking on wood
goes back to ancient times when certain trees were considered sacred because they were inhabited by "spirits of the wood," who had great powers used for good and evil–depending on how you behaved. Knocking on trees was a sign of respect that would gain their favor and assistance; in the absence of a tree, any wood surface would do.
Saying "god bless you" after someone sneezed was practiced because while sneezing, your soul could accidentally be ejected. Without being blessed, a near-by evil spirit might take advantage of the mishap, push your soul aside, and enter into you through your gaping mouth.
The four-leaf clover was chosen as lucky
rather than the three-leaf in acknowledgment of Pagan cultures who honored the threefold aspects of the Goddess: Maid, Mother, and Crone. So as to not upset local religious sensibilities or appear to be in league with Pagans, St. Patrick chose the four-leaf clover himself (which included the three-leaf of father, son and holy ghost).
Image via Wikipedia
First sweeping dirt into a house (before sweeping out) was a long-standing custom for using a new broom because of the association between brooms and witches. The belief was that if you first used a new broom to sweep out, you would sweep your luck out the door along with the dirt!

During morning coffee and stories at Alfonsinas we discovered one of the fellows was an original racer in the 1000 in 1967, better yet he was a class winner and 3rd overall! Chuck raced a 2wd jeep in 67, after 30 hrs he and partner finished 3rd overall behind one buggy and one bike. What a wealth of Baja knowledge, Chuck talked like he knew every rock in Baja. He and his group were making a reuse resurrection of old trail from Gonzega to bay of LA.
Anyhow, we were off for Coco interactions. After $2.00 cokes and stories we continued onto MX1. Air up the tires again and point Em south. A stop for lunch and a stop for fuel put us into San Ignacio pretty early, returning to the Yurts was something to look forward to. It's warm and sunny so a kayak trip up stream to the "hot springs", they are not hot but worth a exploration trip.
Back to the yurt for a hot tub and cold Pacifico! Terri is not doing dinners on Thurs nights but their daughter has started a restaurant just off the squar, Tootsies. It's great.
The roosters are crowing and I'm sitting by the remains of last nights campfire with coffee and iPad. Others are starting to appear and breakfast smells awesome.
Mom and other friends from Sedona have driven the car down to join us so today we are all going out to the lagoon to pet the whales. Dad and I will be riding our bikes out, on watch for idiots on the wrong side of the road.
Tonight is dinner at the yurts and tomorrow dad and I point em south again.
Another great day ahead.

Lawyers for terrorism suspect take fight to U.S. Supreme Court
Source: Chicago Tribune. Lawyers for a suburban youth accused of plotting to bomb a Chicago bar are asking the nation's highest court to grant them unprecedented access to top-secret government surveillance documents. In a 36-page petition filed late last year with the U.S. Supreme Court, lawyers for Adel Daoud are challenging a ruling by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, saying it makes it difficult, if not impossible, to challenge whether authorities violated constitutional protections against unlawful searches and seizures. The case has drawn national attention because of its possible links to government spying programs revealed by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden. It also shone a spotlight on the difficulty posed for attorneys seeking to defend clients in certain terrorism cases — they can't challenge search warrants and other documents because they are not allowed to see them.
