Woodstock performers share their memories
Woodstock was a nightmare for The Grateful Dead. Though Woodstock was not an easy gig for anybody, The Grateful Dead experienced more than their fair share of problems, with dangerous technical problems, a deluge of rain and a stage that seemed on the brink of giving way throughout their show. With this year marking the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, Goldmine asked a number of artists who were there to share their memories of those three days.
Woodstock: Peace, Music & Memories – Day Two
Saturday morning dawned soggy and gray, and Michael Launder, 17, from Albion, New York, and his friend, Billy, hitched a ride on the trunk of a car covered in people. "There were about eight guys inside and another five or six sitting on the hood and trunk, so we just jumped on," says Launder. "When we finally reached the festival, it was very surprising to see the state troopers with their 'Smokey' hats off, hanging with the rest of us."

Brent Budowsky: Mitt Romney should disclose 10 years of his tax returns. He should disclose exactly how much personal wealth he achieved through investments in firms that destroyed American jobs.
Mitt Misses Middle Class's Decline
The Failure of the G-20 Summit
New Report: Good Immigration Policy Creates a Stronger American Middle Class
In the midst of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, and in anticipation of a new round of legislative debates on comprehensive immigration reform, DMI's report makes a rational, concise argument for why comprehensive immigration reform is needed to improve the conditions for middle class Americans.
Half Measures and Lukewarm "Reform" Won't Save the Middle Class
The 30-year class war the rich launched against the working people in this country (and reached its apogee during the George W. Bush years), has left the middle class reeling and wounded. Only bold federal action that puts something concrete in the palms of middle-class Americans can begin to turn these dire social conditions around.

Burma authorities continue arrests of activists
Burma's military junta arrested three more activists Wednesday November 14, witnesses said, surging ahead with a crackdown even as it hosted a UN human rights investigator and insisted that all arrests had stopped.
The latest to be nabbed were at least three people handing out anti-regime pamphlets at the busy Thiri Mingalar fruit and vegetable market in Yangon, shoppers and other witnesses said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they feared reprisals from the government.
"I saw at least three young men in white shirts being arrested by market security officials," said one of the witnesses, a market worker. The leaflets included a statement from the United Nations and one saying that forcing people to take part in pro-junta rallies violated the Geneva Conventions.
The incident followed earlier arrests of two prominent dissidents. One came Tuesday as UN human rights envoy Paulo Sergio Pinheiro met with Cabinet ministers in the junta's remote jungle capital Naypyitaw.
Pinheiro's five-day visit is part of an investigation into widespread allegations of human rights abuses since the regime's violent crackdown on pro-democracy protests in September. He was "given assurances" by the junta that he would be able to interview detainees before leaving, the UN said in a statement.
Pinheiro was to confer with the government's foreign and labour ministers before returning to Yangon on Thursday.
At a UN Security Council meeting Tuesday, the United States and other Western countries deplored the arrests of the two dissidents, saying they raised doubts about the ruling junta's sincerity in moving toward democracy and cooperating with the United Nations.
Su Su Nway, a prominent female activist who has been on the run for more than two months, was arrested Tuesday morning in Yangon as she tried to place a leaflet near a hotel where Pinheiro was staying, exiled Burma dissidents in Thailand said.
U Gambira, a Buddhist monk who helped spearhead the pro-democracy demonstrations in Yangon was arrested several days ago, said Stanley Aung of the Thailand-based dissident group National League for Democracy-Liberated Area.
U Gambira, also known as U Gambiya, was a leader of the All-Burma Monks alliance, a group established to support pro-democracy protests after small demonstrations began in August. The junta had placed him on a wanted list, announcing on state television in early October that he was one of four monks it was hunting down for leading the protests.
Monks inspired and led the movement until it was crushed September 26-27. The authorities began their crackdown by raiding several monasteries in Yangon in the middle of the night and hauling monks away.
The Thailand-based Assistance Association for Political Prisoners urged Pinheiro to try to meet with U Gambira in prison. "I am very worried about U Gambira," Bo Kyi, the head of the association said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "I fear he will be tortured." Other dissident groups also reported the monk's arrest, though details differed. Some said he was arrested November 4, while others said November 10.
Addressing the UN Security Council, Burma's Ambassador U Kyaw Tint Swe insisted Tuesday there "had been no further arrests in connection with the demonstrations." He made no mention of Su Su Nway or U Gambira. But Britain's ambassador to the UN, John Sawers, said Su Su Nway's detention "raises a question mark over the regime's" assurances to UN envoy Ibrahim Gambari days earlier that political arrests would stop. US Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad denounced both arrests and demanded the junta "release all political prisoners" if it wants to show its commitment "to cooperating with the United Nations."
Gambari said that if the arrests were confirmed, "it would be extremely worrisome because what we want to do is move forward, not back." Nevertheless, Gambari, who visited Burma last week for the second time since the September turmoil, told the Security Council he was making progress in nudging the junta toward meaningful dialogue with the pro-democracy opposition. He urged the Security Council to give his diplomatic effort time to succeed. "The situation is qualitatively different from what it was a few weeks ago," he said.
Pinheiro has said his mission is to determine how many people were killed and detained in the crackdown. Burma authorities said 10 people were killed when troops opened fire on crowds of peaceful protesters on September 26 and 27. Diplomats and dissidents, however, say the death toll was much higher.
The government acknowledged detaining almost 3,000 people but says it has released most of them. Most of the prominent political activists, however, remain in custody.

Presidential candidates aren't always the focus of a general election -- sometimes, it's their wives. Whether providing a sound bite or committing a gaffe on the campaign trail, spouses have garnered their share of attention in recent elections. As Hillary Clinton found out in 1992 or Michelle Obama in 2008, their words matter and in the race for the Office of the First Lady, anything is fair game.
ANN ROMNEY. Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen on Wednesday said Ann Romney "has never actually worked a day in her life." Romney, who was a stay-at-home mother, quickly took to Twitter to defend herself: "I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work." As women continue to swing toward President Obama, the so-called Republican war on women will be a major focal point in the months to come.
MICHELLE OBAMA. The 2008 Obama campaign re-energized the Democratic base, and brought up a young and enthusiastic volunteer force that helped the charge to victory. While commenting on people's hunger for change, Michelle Obama said that "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is making a comeback." Obama was hit hard from the right, adding a stinging sound bite that remained throughout the campaign.
TERESA HEINZ KERRY. The wife of Sen. John Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee in the 2004 race, got in some heat after a newspaper interview in which she suggested then-First Lady Laura Bush never had "a real job." Saying she forgot that Bush had been a schoolteacher and a librarian, Teresa Heinz Kerry later apologized for the misstep.
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON. Now-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has never shied away from her political initiatives or opinions. So, when asked during her husband's 1992 presidential election about her decision to pursue a political career, Clinton gave a rather blunt response. "I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession, which I entered before my husband was in public life."
BARBARA BUSH. During the 1984 presidential election, future First Lady Barbara Bush was asked to describe Democratic vice presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro--and apparently her response was not appropriate for television audiences. The wife of the then-Vice President George H.W. Bush said "it rhymes with rich." Bush later apologized to Ferraro.

It's what passes for good news on college costs these days: Private colleges and universities increased tuition 3.9 percent this fall, a rate well above overall inflation but the smallest increase in at least four decades, and substantially lower than prices have been rising at public universities.
The figures released Thursday by the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities highlight some of the complexities within an overall trend of rising college costs.
The list price at private colleges remains substantially higher than at publics — $29,230 this fall compared to a bit over $8,000 last year at public institutions (neither figure includes room and board).
But private colleges, which enroll about a quarter of four-year college students, typically also award more financial aid. The latest NAICU survey of 445 private colleges calculates they disbursed 6.2 percent more aid this fall than a year ago, following increases at least as large each of the previous three years.

Massive N. California wildfire gains strengthBy GOSIA WOZNIACKA
The Associated Press | August 25,2013FRESNO, Calif. A wildfire raging along the northwest edge of Yosemite National Park gained strength Saturday as firefighters scrambled to protect nearby mountain communities.
The fire held steady overnight at nearly 200 square miles, but a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said firefighters didnt get their usual reprieve from cooler early morning temperatures Saturday.
This morning we are starting to see fire activity pick up earlier than it has the last several days, said Cal Fire spokesman Daniel Berlant. Typically, it doesnt really heat up until early afternoon. We could continue to see this fire burn very rapidly today.
The Rim Fire started in a remote canyon of the Stanislaus National Forest a week ago and is just 5 percent contained. More than 5,500 homes are threatened, four have been destroyed and voluntary and mandatory evacuations are underway.
The fire has grown so large and is burning dry timber and brush with such ferocity that it has created its own weather pattern, making it difficult to predict in which direction it will move.
As the smoke column builds up it breaks down and collapses inside of itself, sending downdrafts and gusts that can go in any direction, Berlant said. Theres a lot of potential for this one to continue to grow.
After burning for nearly a week on the edges of Yosemite, the fire moved into the northwest boundary of the park Friday.
The tourist mecca of Yosemite Valley, the part of the park known around the world for such sights as the Half Dome and El Capitan rock formations and waterfalls, remained open, clear of smoke and free from other signs of the fire that remained about 20 miles away.
Dry fuel and hot weather have combined already to make this the 16th largest fire in Californias history. More than 2,600 firefighters and a half dozen aircraft are battling the blaze.
This has been a particularly busy fire season in California and throughout the West because a lack of winter rains and snow have left forests extremely dry. This year so far the U.S. Department of Forestry have fought 5,700 fires, compared with 4,900 by this date last year.MORE IN Wire NewsDon Oberdorfer, a highly respected diplomatic correspondent for The Washington Post and the...

Dr. Michael Westcott has assumed the role of President of the NeHII Board of Directors. The transition from Dr. Harris Frankel took place on February 21, 2014 with a vote by the NeHII Board of Directors. The NeHII Executive Committee made the recommendation to the Board of Directors as they felt it was critical to have the position remain with a physician at the helm of the state-wide health information exchange.
Dr. Michael Westcott has served as Chief Medical Information Officer for Alegent Creighton Health in Omaha for the past ten years. He currently serves as the Regional Chief Medical Informatics Officer for Catholic Health Initiatives. Dr. Westcott is board certified in Emergency Medicine and has served as Co-Chair of the NeHII HIE Advisory Council and as a member of the NeHII Executive Committee prior to accepting the role as President of the Board. He too was involved in the early beginnings of the health information exchange from 2005. "I am very much looking forward to continuing the terrific work that has been done under Dr. Frankel's excellent leadership the past several years. We will continue to enhance NeHII to make it even more useful to Nebraska physicians and providers and thereby contribute to the quality and safety of patient care for all patients participating in NeHII," said Dr. Michael Westcott.
Under the leadership of Dr. Westcott, NeHII will continue to achieve success and will continue to be recognized as a national leader in the exchange of health care information.

Yes, Peter Luger's is expensive. Quality and excellence cost money. I have been to other places......they do not compare! Peter Luger's knows how to prepare steak and provide a memorable experience. Although crowded, once you are seated, you are no longer aware of others. Our waiter has always treated us like we are his only customers. 1 jumbo shrimp cocktail, 3 slices bacon, 2 green salads, 2 sliced tomatoes and onions, 1 creamed spinach and porterhouse for 3, medium, sliced and served in its juices with 1 bottle of Chatenauf de Pape and 1 Brooklyn Lager is our typical order, followed by 3 coffees with amaretto and 1 slice of pecan pie with schlag! Yes, expensive, but the most delicious steak and sides ever. A memorable meal we all reminisce and talk about until we return. Not sure about prices of each item, but we usually pay about $150 per person, because we have wine and beer, plus tip. Always generously tip our waiter who does a wonderful service for us. The waiters always make you feel that you are their only table. Friendly and attentive. We have always lingered over coffee and have never been rushed out, no matter how crowded the restaurant is. If you want steak, Peter Luger's is your best choice.

Peter Luger is a bit out of the way but it is a go to destination in the city if you love steak. And they know how to cook steak! Steak is respected here. If you want a charcoal briquete, go elsewhere. It's a nice atmosphere but not fancy. The staff is very attentive. The chocolate mousse layered with freshly whipped cream is the best anywhere. I've dined here for more than 20 years and it's amazing how they maintain their consistency. They keep it simple and they keep it good.
Posted by direyna on 06/20/2013
The best I've ever had and I'm from Texas. I still remember Peter Luger's after 30 years ago when I only went once.
Posted by ted d on 05/13/2013
While the steaks are good they refuse to cook your steak medium,well,medium rare etc. The steaks come out red not pink all the time. When paying good money for a steak you should have a say in how you want it prepared to your liking.
Posted by Jon CF on 03/26/2013
I've been coming to Peter Luger's in Brooklyn for years and not once has my steak been "average" there is a reason why everyone goes to PL's and its because its the best! All the steaks I've had all around the world none compare. I'm planning my next trip today and happened upon this bogus review.
Posted by Ned gamble on 03/01/2013
No flavor at all. The steak was subpar. Ok it was a porter house (half filet mignon/half strip steak). Can't ask for a better ingredient then that. But it tasted like an average piece of meat. I had to put salt on this meat just to pretend to enjoy it. I cook better serloins on my webber. The creamed spinach looked unappetizing and had no taste. The ceasar salad was decent. The bacon slice was the best part of the meal.
Posted by Dav110 on 02/21/2013
Anyone who thinks Strip House or Del Frisco's (seriously?) is better than Luger's steakwise is simply put... ridiculous. It's a matter of taste. Fact of the matter is Del Frisco's is overhyped and teh steaks are ok. POrterhouse, Keen's, Quality Meats, not to mention Bryant & Cooper, Uncle Jack's Olde Homestead and whole raff of other beef eateries blow Del Frisco's out of the water. What a joke? Strip House I'll grant you is good, but no Luger's.

CLEARMobile, information directly from the 'field'
Vehicles collecting waste also collect a wide range of data 'on the road' – such as weight and origin. The manual registration of these data is time-consuming, with all the risks of errors associated with it. That is why we have developed CLEARMobile: a on board computer, communication system and software in one user-friendly system that makes redundant the flow of paper between back-office and vehicle.
Real-time data processing
CLEARMobile sets up direct communication between the on board computers in the vehicles and your back-office for the exchange of data. With the added advantage that the data are processed in real time in CLEAR and a planner can at all times see which orders have been carried out and which jobs still need to be carried out. New orders can be communicated directly to the relevant vehicle.
Much information with few actions
The on board computer registers all the important information during a trip, e.g. date, start and end time of the trip, vehicle number, driver's name, route travelled, etc.
In addition to the data on waste, trip times, and functions such as digital signatures, packaging registration and additional work can also be entered into the system. Vehicle localisation, navigation and placing of calls over the on board computer are also possible. The system can also be expanded to include an hour registration system/collective bargaining agreement module, a driving style analysis and a fleet monitor.
Better performance
Thanks to CLEARMobile, schedules, invoices, driver's tickets and the like can be carried out with significantly fewer actions. CLEARMobile contributes directly to efficiency, better services and clear management information.

text: Tweet photo by wisley (Flickr CC) The International Whaling Commission is currently holding talks on the British island of Jersey. Issues being dealt with at the IWC talks include the effects of oil and gas exploration on gray whales in Russia's far eastern waters. Western gray whales are an endangered species and number only 130. Seismic guns, used to find underwater oil and gas deposits off the coast of the Russian island of Sakhalin, have been shown to disturb the whales. The gray whales' only summer feeding ground is located in a small area off of Sakhalin. Read more on that story in this BBC News report. Another report in The Ecologist explores how the ban on commercial whale meat is being circumvented, namely by Iceland and Japan. Some whale meat is even being processed in the UK: Iceland's biggest whaling company Hvalur has killed 273 endangered fin whales and exported more than 1,200 tonnes of fin whale meat and blubber to Japan since 2008, according to the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA), in a trade worth estimated US$17 million. And it's not just hunting and the fossil fuel industry that threaten these gentle giants of the deep. Military sonar, pollution, climate change and tourism by supposed whale lovers all contribute to threatening the survival of whales. Read more about that topic in the Guardian.

RHB wants to start Indonesia bank ops by end-2012
Malaysian lender RHB Capital expects to start its operations in Indonesia by the end-2012 should it manage to complete an acquisition of Bank Mestika Dharma in the third quarter of this year, said RHB's top official on Tuesday.
The 1.1 billion ringgit ($358.13 million) deal, first launched in 2009, has been delayed repeatedly due to uncertainties surrounding investment policies in Indonesia's banking sector.
"We hope to obtain Indonesian central bank's approval for the proposed acquisition in June and complete the acquisition in the third quarter," RHB's group managing director Kellee Kam told reporters after the bank's AGM.
"If not, we have to tackle the issue again," he added.
Several further prospective bank takeovers in Indonesia, where consolidation is expected among the many small lenders, were put on ice last year after the central bank mooted a rule to impose limits on ownership.
Lawmakers have told Reuters they could revive a cap on foreign ownership in a new banking law.
Indonesia's response to foreign ownership will come into play again after Singapore's DBS Group, Southeast Asia's biggest bank, launched a $7.24 billion takeover offer bid for the nation fifth largest lender Bank Danamon last week. ($1 = 3.0715 ringgit)

Benefits and Services of the Association for Women Geoscientists
The purpose of AWG is to ENCOURAGE the participation of women in the geosciences, to EXCHANGE educational, technical, and professional information, and to ENHANCE the professional growth and advancement of women in the geosciences. Those three categories: encourage, exchange, and enhance, briefly describe the benefits and services of AWG. The AWG Foundation was created by AWG to fund the educational programs of the association through tax-deductible contributions.
- The AWG Foundation funds geologic field trips for pre-college girls through the Girl Scout Wider Opportunity, Expanding Your Horizons, and other programs.
- The AWG Foundation awards the Chrysalis Scholarships to geoscience Masters and Doctoral candidates to cover expenses associated with finishing their theses/dissertations.

- AWG answers letters from young women and teachers seeking information on careers in the geosciences.
- Career Profiles, a booklet of short biographies of women geoscientists, produced by AWG and funded by the AWG Foundation is available from AWG on this web site. It will be updated, expanded and reprinted in paper form in 2001. Career Profiles presents women role models from different life styles and a variety of geoscience careers.
- Gaea, the newsletter of the Association, is published 6 times per year. Gaea profiles the successes of women geoscientists, addresses the issues which concern women in geoscience careers, provides a forum for discussion, chapter and association activity reports, and publishes situations-wanted and position opening advertisements.
- The The AWG Distinguished Lecturer Program provides a list of women geoscientists who have agreed to lecture or conduct workshops on diverse geoscience topics.
- AWG provides the structure for technical, career, and personal networking, which is facilitated by the Membership Directory.
- AWG field trips provide unique opportunities for members and friends to study geology in interesting places around the U.S. and world..
- AWG Conventions are held every five years. Technical sessions, field trips, and career development and leadership sessions provide diverse educational opportunities. Previous conventions have been held in San Francisco (1987), Denver (1992) and Salt Lake City (1997).
- AWG's local chapters provide frequent technical presentations, social gatherings and field trips, all of which provide opportunities to mentor or to learn from other members.
- AWG's affiliation with other societies (American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Geological Society of America, and American Geological Institute) expands the ability of AWG to make a difference in the professional status of women in geosciences.
- AWG provides opportunities for women to exercise their leadership skills at the chapter level, as chapter officers, or at the association level, as members of the AWG Board of Directors or the AWG Foundation Board of Directors, as well as in committee work.
- AWG provides a free Resume Review Service.
- AWG serves a diverse group of geoscientists, active professionals, students, and retirees, who are self-employed, in private industry, government, and academia. The contact with such a heterogeneous group can only serve to enhance one's career, expand one's opportunities, and one's outlook.
Finally, what you put in to AWG, you get back, and more. You must take advantage of the opportunities that AWG provides. It is up to the individual to reap the benefits and to provide feedback and constructive criticism to improve the organization.

for example during the week I watch far too many quiz shows.
today for example its:
2.40 countdown
3.30 beat the clock
5.00 the chase
6.00 eggheads
7.00 hollyoaks
later on at 10.00 i'll watch southland.
I really need to get a life....
is anyone even worse than me?

For the past month or so - time permitting - it's been watching The Sopranos for the third time in as many years (3 episodes to go).
I tend to also try and fit The Chase in.

19:00 Channel 4 News
20:00 - 23:00 Random things that are on in the background but I'm not really watching.
23:00 Family Guy and then American Dad, then I turn the TV off.
In bed I watch two episodes of Angel online. I'm up to season 3. When that's finished, I'll be watching the new series of Spartacus, Game of Thrones and Hot In Cleveland, all downloaded.
On Mondays I download the new episodes of The Simpsons, Family Guy and American Dad, but I'm waiting until I finish Angel before I start watching them again.

We will have Sky News on in the morning until we leave for work.
Get home after 5 so will have The Chase on while we chat and have a cup of tea. Between 6-7 we are usually making/eating dinner.
If my parents are home then the soaps will be on from 7 but if they are not then I usually stick on a film or a comedy show repeat on Comedy Central, or something I've Sky+.
And then if there's a documentary or a drama or something on around 8-9 we will watch that - something that everyone watches and talks about at work the next day.

Searched through this thread but never seemed to find a proper answer. Been googling all night, but no real help.
Using the latest version of NeoGamma 8 channel (going to try NeoGamma 9 soon) but all of my backups I have created give me the error number 1328 :/. Its using system menu 4.2, softmodded, ran through one your guides thoroughly. I'm pretty sure the Wii is quite old, so I don't think it will have the new dvd drive.
Really struggling, don't know if you guys think virginize, softmod again? I have another wii, and checked my games, they work fine (using DVD-R at 4x) just doesn't work with this wii. The person who had the Wii before tried to install a modchip I believe but didn't succeed but all legit games.
Don't know if anyone has heard of this error code before, but I've done quite a few Wii's now, and I've never had this problem before.
Seriously don't know, help please!?

(The following is a reformatted version of a press release issued by the Vermont Attorney General's Office and received via electronic mail. The release was confirmed by the sender.) November 1, 2012 CAPITAL ONE BANK SETTLES ADVERTISING CLAIM WITH VERMONT ATTORNEY GENERAL Capital One Bank has agreed to settle claims by the Vermont Attorney General's Office that it failed to disclose important information on "0% interest" solicitations sent to Vermont businesses. The settlement requires Capital One to change its solicitations and pay the State $150,000 in investigative costs. Vermont Attorney General William H. Sorrell said, "No matter how big they are, companies have an obligation to provide accurate information when they market their services." Capital One Bank (USA), N.A., headquartered in McLean, Virginia, has for some time been sending direct-mail solicitations to Vermont businesses, offering the use of an "access check" to borrow up to a certain amount of money--for example, $5,000--at 0% interest for 12 months. However, businesses that use an access check are considered to have a continuing balance on their credit card account until the check amount is paid back, even if all other purchases are paid in full by the monthly due date. As a result, interest accrues immediately on all new purchases on the account, and businesses that normally pay off all of their new purchases each month end up paying interest on those purchases. According to the Attorney General, this practice was not disclosed by Capital One, violating the Vermont Consumer Protection Act. Under the settlement, for one year, Capital One will include this disclosure on the front of its access check offers: "Please read … If you accept this offer, you will pay interest on all purchases made with your credit card until your entire balance is paid off. See Special Notice on the back of this offer." For an additional four years, Capital One is required to include a clear and conspicuous front-page disclosure to the same effect; and beyond that, the State retains its right to take legal action if warranted. In addition to the disclosures and the payment to the State, Capital One is required, within 30 days of signing the settlement, to reimburse any Vermont business that paid interest on new purchases while a 0% access check balance was pending that it would not have paid absent that balance. Any such refunds that cannot be returned to a business will be sent to the State to be treated as unclaimed property. Individual consumers should be aware that "0% interest" offers may similarly result in interest being assessed upon purchase. However, the Attorney General's settlement addresses only solicitations to businesses, because federal law "preempts" states from enforcing their laws with respect to credit card solicitations to individuals. For more information on the settlement, call the Attorney General's Office at (802) 828-5507. CONTACT: Elliot Burg Assistant Attorney General (802) 828-5507 (bjh) NY #<873920.660622.214.171.124.0.76>#

Planners to consider 'visual impact' of Yeovil joke shop application
Posted: October 31, 2012|
Mike and Terri Burt's amazingly spooky Hallowe'en Show above their joke and party shop draws thousands of visitors, but some of the changes to the listed building are causing grave concern to planners.
Frankenstein's monster stands with outstretched arms as Mr Burt wrestles with a skeleton at Mad Hatter's joke shop in Princes Street, Yeovil.
But South Somerset District planners have made no bones about the fact that they are concerned by changes which Mr Burt has made since taking over the premises next door this year.
He had so many visitors at the weekend that he had to have a doorman to limit the numbers.
Yesterday he said: "We have had a massive problem with the council since taking over the other building. They seem to think it is a bit too colourful and not in keeping with the conservation area, but we have had 3,000 people sign a petition backing us, and only one person emailed to say the council knows best.
"Customers come from London and Cornwall because we are sometimes the only shop in the UK which has what they want, and they go on to use the cafés and other shops in the town."
A council spokesman said: "An application has just been submitted by the owners of the shop regarding the front facia signage.
"The application will now go through the formal planning process and we will consider the visual impact this will make in the area."

4. A job box for a pattern building device comprising:
a workpiece platform including a peripheral edge region;
at least one pair of spaced apart but connected opposing sidewalls; and
a carrier that substantially abuts the sidewalls and that vertically moves within the plurality of sidewalls, wherein the peripheral edge region of the platform engages an opposing surface of the carrier, wherein the carrier is mounted in sealing relation to the sidewalls by at least one seal that is defined by the carrier, wherein the carrier includes at least two separable pieces, each including at least one bearing surface and further wherein a sealing strip is positioned at an interface region between the separable pieces.
5. The job box according to
This invention relates to a job box for a pattern building device, which forms primarily a bounded frame and whose base can be a workpiece platform mounted within the job box.
Devices for building patterns have been known in the prior art for a long time, including laser sintering machines that have a housing arranged with a sintering or processing chamber therein. The upper workspace of this processing chamber includes the optics of a sintering laser in the form of a scanner. The scanner makes up the optical system for directing the laser beam, which delivers the energy required to sinter the sintering material. Below this optical system is a vertically movable workpiece platform with a material feeder and spreader situated above the platform, whereby the spreader serves to feed a powdered sintering material from a storage bin situated in the workspace above the workpiece platform.
Such a laser sintering machine is used to build the part in layers in the central area of the vertically movable workpiece platform. Up to now, to prevent the powdered sintering material that has not been exposed and thus not sintered from falling off of the workpiece platform, the outer zones of the platform have usually been sintered simultaneously with the actual building of the part, so as to form an edge serving as a boundary for the workpiece platform.
This type of approach had many disadvantages, among them the fact that the making of a boundary for the workpiece platform requires additional exposure and also extra thermoplastic powder that cannot be reused.
A particular disadvantage is that any error in making the boundary will lead to an inadequately stable box type bounding structure, which could result in deformation and consequent loss of the part either prior to or after its removal from the vertically movable workpiece platform.
Additionally, damage or breaks in the boundary during removal of the workpiece platform from the laser sintering machine result in powder filling the lower workspace of the sintering machine, soiling it and thereby causing extra breakdowns, delays, and servicing requirements for the laser sintering machine.
In order to overcome these known disadvantages for lasers of the state of the art, it known from the German patent DE 198 46 478 to mount a bounded frame job box in the sintering chamber, in which the workpiece platform is integrated as a base. Furthermore, the sintering chamber has a carrier arrangement on which the workpiece platform is supported during operation of the laser sintering machine. This type of job box has not only a shaft-like exterior that forms the bounding frame, but also a typical workpiece platform integrated into the shaft-like exterior such that it is vertically movable.
The building of a part in layers means that the box base is lowered successively, i.e. layer-by-layer, within the bounding frame, and the workspace above the workpiece platform is repeatedly covered with new powdered sintering material by a spreader in a conventional manner.
With such a job box, it is no longer necessary to form a boundary while building the part. It is fully adequate to sinter just the actual workpiece, which is protected against deformation by being held within the stable job box and its unsintered sintering material therein.
Besides, this job box can be removed in one piece and replaced by a new one, making it unnecessary to wait until the respective part is stable enough to be removed without problems.
However, this type of job box has been found to have the disadvantage that handling the workpiece platform for building parts still calls for a significant amount of effort. For instance, if on completion of a pattern the workpiece platform is to be removed from the job box and replaced by another empty platform, the task must be accomplished in a very precise manner to ensure that the platform is again placed and mounted precisely in the job box.
It has been found to be especially difficult when a sealing means is present between the workpiece platform and the job box. Seals are very important when using powdered materials for the building process, since they can affect the vertical positioning of the workpiece platform within the job box.
It is thus known that when the job box has engagement recesses for vertical positioning situated above the workpiece platform, they must covered so as to be impervious to powder. However, such types of seals must be taken out of the job box when dismounting the workpiece platform and replaced when mounting a new workpiece platform.
Hence, it is the object of this invention to develop a job box that can make it easier to mount and dismount workpiece platforms.
According to the invention, this requirement is fulfilled through a job box of the aforementioned type that includes a carrier on which the workpiece platform is mounted.
This means, for example, that according to the invention the workpiece platform that can be dismounted from the job box needs to be installed only on the carrier, which is appropriately attached to the job box and just carries the platform.
After each replacement, the workpiece platform thus does not need to be positioned precisely in the job box or to be mounted or attached.
It should be emphasized that the job box according to the invention can be mounted in all devices for pattern building known to persons skilled in the art. Hence, it is not restricted for mounting in any particular pattern building process. It can be utilized just as well for selective laser sintering as in a device for pattern building from moulding sand, casting resins, and curing agents.
The statement that the workpiece platform should be mounted as a base of the job box, is not to imply that the workpiece platform shall be arranged at the base of the job box or that it forms its lowest extremity. The term base is to be understood more as a shelf. This does not exclude the possibility that the job box has other bases or a specially designed base area.
However, for the greatest ease in building a job box, it has been shown to be advantageous to make the carrier as a frame. In such a case, the frame could encircle the inner wall of the job box, or just as well be a part thereof. Nevertheless, it should be built wide enough such that the workpiece platform can be mounted on it without possibly being twisted.
If the job box has braces in its lower section, they help achieve much greater stiffness of the job box's frame design, whereby cross-braces have been shown to be especially advantageous. All other types of braces are conceivable, including diagonal braces.
The terms "up" and "down" used in these embodiments always imply a proper operating position of the job box. Such a position is one in which the pattern building takes place in an appropriate device, whereby the side of the workpiece platform mounted in the job box on which the pattern is built, faces up.
It is preferred that the lower extremity of the job box according to the invention has appropriate cutouts for easy access with a forklift, for enabling transport in a simple manner.
If the job box sides additionally have transport eyelets, the job box could be transported easily with a crane as well.
In order to enhance the stiffness of the job box even further, it is preferred to use a double-wall construction for the job box.
Although the job box and the workpiece platform could fundamentally have any imaginable shape in a plan view, practical considerations and ease of manufacturing have nevertheless found a square or rectangular shape to be advantageous.
Basically it is feasible to have a vertical positioning arrangement that engages either under the job box or one that is integrated as a permanent component of the job box.
However, to achieve stable conditions by utilizing a vertical positioning means installed in an appropriate device, it is advantageous to have such means arranged mainly laterally on the sides of the job box, i.e. as recesses on two opposing sides running from the top down, for adjusting the vertical position.
Accordingly, the job box encompasses four sidewalls arranged essentially at right angles to each other. The workpiece platform can be displaced vertically within these sidewalls.
Herein it is preferred to have a means for making the recesses above the workpiece platform impervious to powder. This could be achieved, at least where the recesses are situated above the workpiece platform, with a sealing means between the inside wall of the job box and the carrier.
This occurs preferably with a type of blind, for example one made of sheet metal, fixed to the upper edge of the job box, which rests against the inner box wall as the workpiece platform sinks, thereby covering the recesses.
To avoid the sheet metal from possibly becoming entangled between engagement catches and the workpiece platform, it is preferred to have appropriate sliding bearings in the workpiece platform's carrier to channel the metal sheets along the insides of the job box.
Additionally, holding magnets that function with the blind could be arranged in the job box. Due to the holding magnets, the blind clings very closely to the inner side of the rear box wall, such that either none or very little powder can fall into the lower area of the machine.
A holding magnet arrangement limits the choice of materials that can be used for job box components. Instead of a seal utilizing a holding magnet, an alternative is a felt seal between the carrier and the inside wall of the job box, which can be loaded through springs to achieve the desired application force.
The job box according to the invention has demonstrated its advantage when applied in a device for pattern building from moulding sand, casting resins, and appropriate curing agents.
Similarly, an application is also conceivable in a selective laser sintering device.
The preferred embodiment of the invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
The base of this job box 1 is formed with a workpiece platform 2, mounted like the base of a cupboard or a shelf. This workpiece platform 2 is in turn mounted on a carrier 3 not distinguishable in
In order to enhance the stiffness of job box 1 even further, job box 1 of the preferred second embodiment of the invention has a double-wall construction.
Additionally, at least one side of job box 1 is fitted with transport eyelets 5, which enable transport for example with a crane, such that job box 1 could be installed with a crane in a pattern building device or simply transported over long distances.
As shown particularly in
The vertical position of workpiece platform 2 is set by positioning frame 3 on which workpiece platform 2 is mounted, such that appropriate sealing between the inside wall of job box 1 and frame 3 must occur to prevent powdered material from entering the vertical positioning means during pattern building with such materials.
As shown especially in
Recesses 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D provided for lateral engagement of the catches into job box 1, for example, preferably run across the box wall. However, as far as possible these recesses 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D should not become soiled by sand or similar materials falling off of workpiece platform 2. Accordingly, a sealing means is preferably included such that thin metal sheets 7 attached to job box 1, particularly on its top edge, press against the inside of job box 1 during pattern building, for instance due to the force exerted by the moulding sand, and thereby cover up the slot. In order that these metal sheets 7, when applied in the above-described device, do not become entangled between a catch and the carrier or frame 3, it is preferred to have appropriate sliding bearings in carrier 3 to channel the metal sheets along the insides of job box 1.
These sliding bearings could, for example, be the deflection channels 8A and 8B shown in
The sheet metal 7 now functions like a blind, by resting against the inner wall of job box 1 as workpiece platform 2 or frame 3 sinks and thereby covering engagement recesses 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D.
In order to improve the sealing between frame 3 and job box 1 even further, or especially against its inside wall, it is preferred to integrate a supplementary sealing means in the lateral channel of frame 3, depicted herein according to the preferred embodiment as felt seal 9. This felt seal 9 is loaded with springs 10 to achieve the necessary application force.
Due to the force applied by spring 10, such a sealing means 9 can essentially balance out any unevenness in job box 1. Such a spring loading means also allows avoidance of highly flexible and sensitive materials that tend to shrink.
The advantage of such a design for job box 1, is that it becomes possible to dismount workpiece platform 2 from job box 1, for instance by pulling it out and replacing it with another empty workpiece platform 2, without the need to dismantle any of the relevant sealing means present in job box 1.

The Juxtaposition of Pride and Learning
We have all experienced it; that moment of teaching when we know a child does not understand the concept, or does not know the answer, yet refuses to admit it.
They may say, "I knew that. I just didn't want to say it", "You didn't give me time to finish.", or "I was just joking.", but as facilitators of their learning, we know better. We see straight through their words–most likely because we have been in their very same shoes.
Of course, as a 42-year-old, I'm more proficient at hiding what I don't know under the guise of confusion or misunderstanding, but when I remind myself that it's my job to lead by example, it becomes increasingly more obvious I need simply to let my guard down and say, "I didn't know that. Show me.", or "I have no clue. Let's figure it out together."
I am not the first to recognize that the older I get, the less I know. Bob Dylan said, "I've forgotten more than you'll ever know.", but I can't even honestly cling to that as truth. There are days when one of my kids will share an interesting fact they learned in their studies, and I know it wasn't something I've forgotten, but rather, information I never knew.
In other words, there is more out there for me to learn!
So, how do we extend grace to our children when they "know it all", but at the same time, open their mind to further learning?
1. Lead by example. The Greek Philosopher Epictetus wrote, "If a man would pursue Philosophy, his first task is to throw away conceit. For it is impossible for a man to begin to learn what he has a conceit that he already knows."
To model a life of learning, Epictetus suggests we must first throw away conceit; excessive pride in oneself.
Dispense with pride.
The more popular variant of that quote is "It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows."
As my children's educator, I feel more comfortable teaching in areas where my skill-set is strong, which is natural, I imagine. When the kids and I launch into subjects where I struggle, it is an uncomfortable place to be; in fact, facilitating learning is much, much more difficult for me than teaching. I chalk this up to my own pride. I like being "in the know," so to speak.
Since reading that quote, I've thought through my desire to be "in the know" and I must acknowledge two things. First, that the unknown is not as secure a place to be when my children's education is on the line; and second, once I think I know something, my pattern is to get lazy about it. I move on to a different subject. I don't explore the heights and depths of it because "I already know that."
That mindset impedes my further learning, and it is contagious.
If our kids watch us reach the end of our attempts to learn, they may look forward to the day when they will have "learned it all" too.
2. Recognize it without encouraging it. Some things are straightforward. There is a right and wrong answer; for instance, 3×3=9.
Now, I write this, but some Math genius will jump in and explain why it could be 11, 13, or any endless amount of answers, right? But, just stay with me–for the sake of basic multiplication, the answer is 9.
If my kids gave the answer as 11, and then responded, "I knew that. I was just testing you, Momma." after I corrected them, I would recognize they were too prideful to admit they were wrong. So, where do I go from there? Do I say, "Of course you did because you're so smart!", or do I just give them a look that says, "Yeah right, buddie. You can't fool me."
You'll love this. I DO NOT KNOW.
One thing I do know is that the needed approach will be different for each child.
At some point kids need to recognize and voice what they do not know, understand or remember. Then, they can wrap their minds around the fact that there will always be something to learn. There is no better time than right now to start recognizing this bold, perpetual truth in small ways.
3. Let them be the teacher without showing them up. Oh, this is a tough one for me because I do it without even realizing it. Let me give an example.
This past year Meredith was fascinated with what she was learning about our skin and all its amazing protective properties. One particular day, she was interested in the way our skin works to maintain our body's temperature.
I watched her animated face, listened to several passages she read from her text, and then, with my mind fully engaged, I swept in to grace her with my own body of knowledge regarding what I knew about our body's largest organ. Before long I looked up to see Meredith wearing a very different look on her face. Gone was the excitement, and in its place was the "Really, Momma?" expression.
Anyone else know that face in your own children? It looks like boredom mated with frustration.
In seconds–okay fine, minutes, I stifled her excitement. Trying to remedy the situation, I stopped and asked what else she had learned, but apparently, while I was caught up in my reverie, I stole some of her material. Uggh.
I'm sure there are many more examples of times I have stolen my kids' opportunities to be teachers, but I'm working to be cognizant of it because I know how awesome it feels to learn something new, or to extend my learning, and then, be able to share it with someone else. I also know what it feels like to share it, and have that person one-up what I learned–making it less significant.
Also? When we teach ourselves, we learn; plain and simple.
Of course, this all takes time and patience, which is almost as difficult to come by as being quiet. HA!
Another Epictetus quote: "No thing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen."
In other words, don't pick at it. Plant it, water it, fertilize it, expose it to the light, but then step back and LET IT BEAR FRUIT AND RIPEN.
What are your thoughts? Does this sound familiar? What did I miss? How else can we bypass the "know it all" attitude and extend the importance of humility in learning?

Good thoughts to keep in mind as we get ready to start our first year of homeschooling this August (1st & 3rd grade boys). I'm going to have to be mindful of not taking over when they're in a moment of discovery. I have slowly learned you can't, and shouldn't, always be in control. This is definitely not my natural inclination, so it's something I'm working on daily…
I am actually looking forward to learning history with my kids. I memorized the facts when I was in school and was able to regurgitate info for tests, so I did well grade-wise, but didn't really retain much after everything was said and done. My husband is a history buff and both my boys seem to love it, so I'm excited to discover and learn with them.

I'm not a homschooler let me start with that. I am however, passionate about parenting. I come from a fairly permissive orientation but that is proabaly because I only parented one child and she was a dream in terms of cooperation and respect. (Sometimes my pride tells me that in part she is a dream because of my (our) parenting.)
I have a couple of impressions. When you said under point number 2 that
"If my kids gave the answer as 11, and then responded, " I knew that.
I think in that moment I might pause (to let them know I had a question about their response) and then ask them to show me how they came to that answer. I think it's extremely important to recognise kids (IN AGE APPROPRIATE WAYS) as soveriegn "monarchs" in their own realitities. Humility was never (os, very rarely) an issue in my relationship with my daughter because of the importance of respecting her (and her me). This removes most, if not all, the need for "power grabbing".
Point 2 – when you said this "I swept in to grace her with my own body of knowledge regarding what I knew about our body's largest organ." I cringed with recognition. I grew up in a family of interuptors, where "being right" was coonferred upon the one last standing. I've had to ween myself of this in my relationship with her and everyone else I love. One thing that has helped is a recent study I read about (in JAMA?) about how deep listening "actually helps speaker become more intelligent" for the following reasons:
It keeps them on their train of thought and allows them to complete an idea. This is frequently the reason we need to talk out loud in the first place- to hear our own thought process. And then of course there is the time honored truth that feeling heard completely is an affirmation of our worth and belonging.
It seemed to me that the it was always better for me to consider doing less than more as a parent. Less interveneing and inserting my reality and more listening and reflecting and occasionally questioning hers.

I wish that every person involved with organizational management could read this! Send it to some of the management periodicals, Heather — it's even more true of adults at work. My passion through my career (and after) has been to help people to make their decisions based on KNOWLEDGE, rather than on preconceived ideas. In Stephen Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", habit 5 is "Seek first to understand, then to be understood." In other words, shut up and listen! Learn, then talk. Pride gets in the way of learning throughout our lives.

My main reason for homeschooling is the growth of the spiritual character of my children. Knowledge is wonderful, but wisdom is even better.
I think the bigger issue would be addressing the character issues (pride, lying – because saying you know when you don't is a lie) in a most gentle way. Homeschooling is just the medium that brings character issues to the surface (in both parent and child). We can model humility too. When asked a tough question we don't have the answer for, we can say, "I don't know, let's look that up." or being quick to ask for forgiveness for a harsh word or an angry tone.
Parenting/homeschooling is such a balancing act, isn't it? Knowing when to/when not to assert our authority. We don't want to be authoritarian, however, we are the authority.
Homeschoolers have the gift of time with their children, which allows them to know them well – their strengths and their weaknesses in both character and book knowledge. You know your child best. When there is something deeper to address, we should! Don't let it slide and excuse it away.
Wendy On Friday, June 27 at 10:05 am
My thoughts on #2 … sometimes we don't know how to admit we are wrong without feeling humiliated. We need practice — lots and lots of practice. In those moments, I will turn to a child and very gently and graciously say, "Sweet baby, you did not know the answer. You got it wrong but didn't want to admit it. And that's OK!! I feel that way sometimes, too. Is that how you were feeling?" Then we practice other things they could say. Letting a lie slide isn't good for anyone. Pride and I go waaay back, so I can say with first-hand knowledge that learning how to admit fault or error doesn't have to be a shameful experience. To be able to say, "You were right, I was wrong," is a skill we all need more practice with

Last summer I was on my porch shelling a bucket of peas and my 15-year old granddaughter came by and asked to help. As she sat down she said, "What should we talk about?" I said, "Why don't you tell me what you learned in school this year". For the next three-hours I learned that algebra is still confusing, and biology will only be remembered in years to come because of dissecting frogs. I also learned that a cockroach can live for days with its head cut off….ick! I am a supporter of homeschooling these days because it proves to kids that parents care. Public schools have deteriorated in some places to the point where there can be little if any individual attention, creative stimulation, reassurance, and most importantly someone who has time to listen to them. Government intrusions and regulations have taken teaching out of the hands of those who want to educate. With love, structure and support kids will learn and thrive. Just the opinions of an old man.
Sara On Friday, June 27 at 11:04 am
Perfectly timed post! I was just looking at our Mystery of History curriculum for this year and saw all kinds of things I never knew…not comforting at all for a first year homeschool mom. Your post gave me the encouragement that it will be OK and that it is a good thing for us to learn together…it's not necessary for me to be the know-it-all.

Pretty good points, #2 is particularly true! XD
StacyJ On Friday, June 27 at 1:34 pm
Thank you for writing about #3…and all prayers appreciated as I seek to stop doing this and hopefully repair some of the damage it has caused in my relationship with my sons, especially my 19 year old.

A child who, in the context of homeschooling, is pretending to know something he doesn't is afraid of being wrong for some reason. He likely believes that the purpose of his education is to perform competently and please others, rather than to learn. I think this misunderstanding is most likely when homeschooling is full of evaluations of competency, whether overt or implied. The child may uncomfortable being less than perfect, or may feel that the parent's calm and pleasant emotional state is in jeopardy if he doesn't measure up. When you think about it, kids don't learn much by being asked questions: if you can give the correct answer you didn't need to learn it, and if you give the wrong answer, you're no further ahead for it. My own kids tended to feel very threatened and judged by evaluative questions. They learned by *asking* questions, whether of themselves or of others, not by answering them. So I learned not to quiz them. If I asked "Do you know what six times seven is?" I would be looking for an answer like "Yes," "No" or "I'm not sure," not "Forty-two." That really took the focus off evaluation and put in on learning.

Third day without my morning coffee and raptors flying in my empty head, I had to read this post twice! But it was worth a second read. Plenty of food for thought.
Krb On Friday, June 27 at 10:28 pm
When I am checking a bill or receipt, I don't think about how I learned math skills. I think about whether or not the numbers on paper are correct. I am always glad I had to memorize basic math skills in elementary school.

While not a Home-Schooling Mom, what I did try to share with my children
was what I thought to be 'Life Lessons'.
One of these in being:
"A day spent without learning something new,
is a day wasted."
God bless you Heather…I always read/enjoy/learn from you,
and look eagerly forward to your next post.

Teach them How to Teach.
A subset of all three points; have an older child or the child that knows the most about a topic teach others. Coach them through that process. Chances are, they will make similar mistakes, show you a different way, etc.
Pick a topic you and your student know nothing about. Collaboratively, research the topic and share in real time key facts. Learning becomes a conversation, and this demonstrates to your child that learning is an lifelong pursuit. It takes the pressure off of being wrong. You can practice that great and powerful phrase, "I did not know that!"
I enjoy your posts, Heather! I learn something from you and your responders every time I read it!
Marianne On Monday, June 30 at 2:41 pm
I think what you describe is our human tendency, whether we are young or old, to need to feel "right" at all times.I've just read some interesting books on this phenomenon, one of which was Mistakes Were Made (but not by me). Another is Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error.
It takes a lot of humility and self confidence to recognize this truth about ourselves. Some of us never achieve this understanding. Anything we do to help our children understand that being wrong is "OK" is good.

BigNoticeBoard vs Your own Website
The Purpose of a Website
Unless you sell stuff through it - a website is a place to provide timely information to the visitor. In today's fast information society a website does not do this job very well, these are the reasons why.
Why Websites are not very good for their purpose
Websites are either time consuming or expensive to update
Consequently information on this type of website is usually old and out of date
With so few changes happening on individual websites they are not sticky, this means that people do not generally visit again
A website that only has information about a single shop, restaurant or class is not worth a casual visit.
Any information you do put on a website simply stays there. It does not filter out onto other website and through other media
If you want to update people with news etc you need to collect an email list and then hope that people open your emails
To summarise, a website is expensive, difficult to keep up to date, does not get any traffic (without expensive campaigns)
There is a Better Way
The BigNoticeBoard is a hyper-local website. It gathers together all of the information in your local area and makes it available to people in that area in many different ways. It can be used as a replacement for a traditional website, or can work very effectively alongside. But it has many advantages over traditional websites.
The BigNoticeBoard is free
It is easy to update with news, special offers, announcements and events or it is inexpensive to have it maintained for you
The information on it is always fresh and new and relevant to local people
Relevant information and the ability to interact means that the BigNoticeBoard is sticky, people do visit it regularly
It contains information about the whole local area and is well worth a casual visit for anyone interested in what is available locally
Information added to the BigNoticeBoard is made available to other websites, posted on Facebook Pages, printed and handed out and emailed to a mailing list
Making a splash in your local area has never been easier.
