I've seen the beautiful work of Chloe Fleury around, but only recently found her name and website, so it's an exciting day!
I'm one of those people who think that my bed is THE best place in the whole wide world. If I had a choice, I could probably lay in bed all day. The soft sheets, fluffy duvet and warmth and comfort of my bed.. they're all calling me right now. Especially when we travel. that moment you sit on your hard airplane seat and sleepiness overcomes you and all you wish for in the world is to return to your own comfortable bed. There's no place like it.
I believe that decals are truly one of the best inventions ever. The fact that they can now be made into wallpaper size sheets is simply awesome-sauce! Even though they're "temporary" they stick on well and you will barely be able to tell the difference between a decal and real wallpaper. There is no better room in the house for decals than a little one's room or playroom. There are so many very cute decals of everything you can think of under the moon.
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a good weekend. We went to a friend's birthday party where S got to play on a slip and slide, swung around on a tree rope and kicked around a soccer ball all day long. It was also his first time beating a pinata to near death. What is it about kids and pinatas? Do they just have this built up aggression bottled inside all their little bodies they need to get out? Or do they really want to see what's inside the pinata? I don't know, but each of the kids were so eager for their turn with the bat.
What's a party without any balloons? Ok maybe that's not entirely true, but they are a fun addition! And these days, a lot of photoshoots involve balloons too because they add a fun pop of color, and they seriously come in all sorts of colors and shapes and forms now. We all know about regular latex balloons, you know, the ones you can get at a grocery store. And lately, everyone's been introduced to round latex balloons which comes in many sizes. But I wanted to show you all these other kinds because there are so many great ways to use balloons!
Today is the first day of the last year of preschool for our little guy. The end of summer means I am back to blogging! I apologize for the sporadic blodding over the summer break, but having S home everyday means full-time mommyhood so I'm very grateful for your patience and understanding. It was a great summer. And unlike a lot of my other mommy friends, I felt like it flew by too quickly. For some reason I feel like S was just in school a week ago and now I'm packing his book bag again. Must be the old age because apparently the older you get the quicker time seems to pass by *sigh*.
It's always fun to create a photo area for some cute pictures at a party. Whether it's a backdrop for the delicious display of food or a background for snapping pictures of (or with) guests. Here are some lovely inspirations from around the web, maybe some of these will even inspire you pick a party theme or two.
Just how adorable are these personalized plush dolls by The Citizens Collectible? The most adorable! These plush family sets are custom made for each family and I love the details that are included (e.g. the glasses, the beards, the fabric patterns and ofcourse the pets). Whether you're a family of one, two or four plus furry children, there's something for every family.
There are a handful of bloggers that I follow religiously. All of them have different strengths and all of them so very inspiring. While I was reading through my feed today, I realized that all of a sudden, almost all of my favorite bloggers are now mommies and these blogger mommies have added their little ones to their blog life. And at some point or another, they've all blogged about their kid's bedrooms. Like I said before, kid's rooms are the most fun to decorate! I have loved seeing their room reveals, so I wanted to share them with you.
With my current love for all-things-dotty, these colorful confetti wall stickers definitely caught my attention. They would look fun in a kid's room or nursery (especially above the crib). The fun thing about them is that you can place them however you please - scattered or uniform in all 15 colors.
Enjoy your weekend! We're excited because S's dada is returning from his business trip tomorrow!
Hello! My name is Michelle. I'm a wife and a mom whose job had to take a backseat when our baby arrived, and I wouldn't trade it for the whole wide world! Being a full-time mom is the greatest blessing, and I thank the twinkling stars every day for it. Because of our little boy, I've not only discovered the wonderful world of mommyhood, but also the world of Elmo, Dinosaurs, and Tickle Monster!

SOUTH KINGSTOWN – Congressman Jim Langevin (D-RI) joined representatives of the Rhode Island Center for Agriculture Promotion and Education and other industry leaders Monday at The Farmer's Daughter in South Kingstown to discuss the impact of recently awarded federal funding and industry priorities.
At the local garden center, the group discussed the economic opportunity that exists in agriculture and the $85,000 grant the U.S. Department of Agriculture recently awarded to RICAPE to help promote Rhode Island's farms to in and out of state visitors.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN—As the summer sun beats down mightily upon the earth, many local residents head immediately to the beach or pool, looking for a way to cool down. Old Mountain Field in South Kingstown looks abandoned upon first approach, but exploring a bit further, one sees and hears a group of kids having serious fun. They are the skateboarders at Old Mount Field's Skate Park.
NARRAGANSETT—On Monday evening, Interim Parks and Recreation Director Steven Wright was approved by the Town Council to take up the position permanently. He had been filling in since February 2011, at which time he was serving as Beach Superintendent.
"I never really looked for [the position], but the opportunity is there," said Wright. "I love what I do and the community is a fit."
PROVIDENCE – The Rhode Island Department of Education released its school performance rankings Friday, using a new measurement system to determine how well schools are serving students.
Of South Kingstown's schools, one school received a rating of "commended," another received a rating of "leading," and four received a rating of "typical," based on the new classifications.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN—With the U.S. Supreme Court upholding last week President Obama's signing of the Affordable Health Care Act into law, Rhode Islanders can expect to see a number of changes in the upcoming years, among those which have already been implemented, in the manner by which citizens receive health care services. The law offers better coverage options to portions of the population, including youth, and aims to curtail health insurance companies from discriminating financially against clients.
NORTH KINGSTOWN - Many spectators and local leaders gathered at the Rhode Island Fast Ferry dock in Quonset for the christening and maiden voyage of a brand-new vessel that will be used to carry passengers from Quonset to Martha's Vineyard.
Rhode Island Fast Ferry President Charles A. Donadio Jr. said that the ship, which he named the Ava Pearl after his eldest daughter, is one of the most technologically advanced of it's kind in the entire country.
Froyo is the fix in Narragansett
By SHAUN KIRBY
NARRAGANSETT—A new, refreshing business opened its doors in Salt Pond Plaza this past weekend. With a cool and stylish interior, Froyo Fix brings fresh, frozen yogurt to customers looking for a new taste and respite from the heat.
"[My family members] all came up with the idea," said Thao Nguyen, who works as a server at Froyo Fix. "There are a lot of frozen yogurt places on the west coast, and the trend is slowly moving its way here."
SOUTH KINGSTOWN - The owner of the highly contested High Tide Landing residential development proposed an amendment to the previously approved master plan of the apartments.
High Tides LLC, managed by Anthony Fiore, proposed to allow seven affordable accessory apartments, for a total of 33 lots, as opposed to the originally approved seven detached affordable units plus the 33 market rate lots, for a total of 40 units, to be built on Gooseberry Road.
NARRAGANSETT—After extensive research, The Commercial Fisheries Research Foundation (CFRF) is giving local fishermen the opportunity to try two new gear types and report back on their results. The Gear Trials Program will provide financial assistance to fishing vessel owners who wish to take on the new gear types, and the hope is that their real-time performance will give the local commercial fishing industry insight on how to better reduce bycatch and maximize catch shares.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN - The latest South Kingstown Comprehensive Community Plan, updated every five years, maintains the "village-centric" planning philosophy as a model for the town's planning, land use, housing and economic development.
The village-based philosophy has three primary assets: involved and proactive citizens with diverse backgrounds, a rich history and abundant natural resources.
The importance and adherence to these assets as goals has been upheld since the initial 1992 Comprehensive Community Plan.

Interview: Garfield's Jim Davis
By Amy Nicholson
As usual Loach gets all the physical details right. The dim light in the bowling alley where Joe takes Sarah on a tentative first date. The ill-fitting suit and self-important gait of a welfare bureaucrat snooping around the neighborhood for petty violations. The weary faces in the waiting room of Sarah's clinic. The gray-green haze overhanging the tables in the snooker parlor where we first meet slimy McGowan (David Hayman), the predatory drug dealer who will eventually wreck several lives. American movie directors like Sidney Lumet and Martin Scorsese have such a sure feel for the underside of big cities that you can practically smell the booze and taste the blood every time they take a camera into the street. Loach is just as masterful. This portrait of Glasgow, rooted in poverty, with desperation rapping at the door, wants for nothing in terms of grit and authenticity.
Mullan, who popped up briefly in Braveheart, Trainspotting and a pair of earlier Loach movies, seems exactly the right actor here. He bears an odd facial resemblance to a young Red Buttons, but there the similarities end: In Joe's athletic, hair-trigger jumpiness we see a boozehound still expelling the old poisons, and in his growing devotion to Sarah we get the unmistakable sense of a decent man who's wasted his prime but now sees one last chance to make good. It can't have been easy to keep this tough-and-tender portrait upright and schmaltz-free, but Mullan manages it, with help from his clear-eyed director. Witness the wonderfully telling scene in which Joe and a buddy, posing as old hands in the design trade, propose to wallpaper an oddly shaped sitting room for new friend Sarah. Joe's combination of sweetness, cunning and mischief as he finesses the job just about defines him.
The thing we don't know is how far he will stick out his neck for a boy whose bad luck and lousy choices must remind him of his own. A Ken Loach movie can be a screamingly funny experience, particularly when we're least expecting to crack up. But his lifelong quest, as he once described it, "to clarify the lives of ordinary people" usually veers into tragedy, too. Loach never fears to confront the cold realities of life.
By the way, try not to be put off by the subtitles. That's right, subtitles. On the surface Scotland and America would appear to share a common language, but the sound of English as spoken in the working-class districts of Glasgow can present a stiff challenge on this side of the Atlantic. Five minutes into the movie, most Yanks will be glad for a little help at the bottom of the screen.
Otherwise, we're on our own to contemplate another extraordinary piece of work from one of the world's most underrated moviemakers -- a film at once harsh and tender and almost faultless in the way it sheds light on a time and a place and a troubled soul.
Opens Feb. 26 at the Tivoli.
-- Bill Gallo
Directed by Garry Marshall
Director Garry Marshall (Pretty Woman, Beaches) has always tended toward unrealistically feel-good movies, and The Other Sister is no exception. Billed as "a love story for the romantically challenged," it concerns a mentally challenged young woman (Juliette Lewis) struggling for independence from her overprotective mother (Diane Keaton). With the exception of one scene late in the film, everything in this overly cute movie is played for laughs. It's the world as Marshall would like it to be.
Portrayed in flashback as a willful, angry, destructive child, Carla emerges from a private boarding school for the mentally handicapped as far more centered, sensible and capable than anyone else onscreen. But mama Elizabeth, who has always been slightly embarrassed by her youngest daughter (and, on top of that, has to contend with a lesbian daughter and an underachieving daughter), just can't accept her as a responsible adult who wants her own apartment, is determined to take courses at a regular school and hopes for a boyfriend, who soon arrives in the form of Daniel (Giovanni Ribisi), an equally mentally challenged young man living on his own.
This is a very different role for former wild child Lewis, best known for provocative films like Natural Born Killers, and she does a fine job -- as does Ribisi, most recently seen in Saving Private Ryan. The problem is, the film is so intent on being uplifting and happy that it treats the young protagonists almost like a circus act. Much of what they say and how they view the world is humorous, but it's like laughing at small children playing grownup and remarking, "Oh, aren't they cute?" In the same "out of the mouths of babes" vein, Carla reels off one platitude after another. She is by far the wisest character in the story.
The film's humor is as mainstream and broad as it comes. On Halloween Carla walks into the living room wearing a cumbersome swan costume and announces, "I feel so delicate," the joke being, of course, that she looks anything but delicate. When Carla and Daniel start thinking about sleeping together, they consult The Joy of Sex.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 2013 Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter begins a six-day trip tomorrow to meet with officials in France, Germany and Jordan, Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said in a statement today.
The trip will give Carter a chance to continue U.S. defense consultations on a range of common security challenges, he added.
In Germany, Carter will participate in the 49th Munich Security Conference, an annual meeting of foreign and defense policy leaders from around the world.
Carter's visit, Little said, will reinforce the strong U.S. commitment to its allies and partners in Europe and the Middle East.
During his travels, the press secretary noted, Carter also will visit with U.S. service members to thank them for their service.

Well too bad, because Michael Lohan is feelin' talky. Big Mike officially jumped the shark yesterday on XM Radio's Playboy Morning Show, telling us wayyy more than we wanted to know about the start of Lilo. Fittingly, the tabloid legend was created during a drug-addled hotel room romp.
"Dina and I were in Switzerland," Michael told the host of the program. "It was the first time I ever smoked pot in my entire life." He then "joked" that he was so high that he couldn't leave his hotel for three days. "You're stuck in a chalet for three days, so you're going to have a lot of sex." But Mike started to get shy when the host pushed for details on the position they were in when the magic moment occurred. "I don't even want to go there…there are so many positions…actually probably on my hands and knees." And in describing this, he ruined Mean Girls and The Parent Trap for us forever. That's all for this week from TMI Corner!

UFC announces Velasquez-Silva II, Dos Santos-Overeem | UFC NEWS
Heavyweights Cain Velasquez and Antonio Silva will swap leather once again.
UFC officials confirmed Tuesday that a rematch is slated for Memorial Day weekend at UFC 160 in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
The matchup was reported on UFC Tonight, citing confirmation from UFC president Dana White.
The show's date is near the one-year anniversary of their first meeting, which Velasquez (11-1) won via TKO. The fight turned into a bloody mess after a Velasquez elbow sliced Silva open early in the first round.
Silva (18-4) earned the heavyweight championship opportunity after defeating Alistair Overeem at UFC 156 on Feb. 2. Velasquez reclaimed the UFC title with a unanimous decision win over dos Santos in December. His only professional loss came in the form of a 64-second knockout to dos Santos in 2011.
The UFC also announced another colossal heavyweight showdown that will pit Junior dos Santos (15-2) against Overeem (36-12) in the night's co-main event.
Santos and Overeem had a bitter war of words during the tail end of 2012, with Overeem accusing dos Santos of, among other things, being afraid of him.
Dos Santos and Overeem were originally slated to fight at UFC 146, but the bout was canceled when Overeem failed a surprise drug test in Nevada.

this is going to be amazing
reem will fail and be past his sell by date.
Dos Santos will knock that big fool with ease, and there's no suprises about cain and bigfoot 2… then maybe cain V junior 3?
Bigfoot can't take cains cardio and wrestling out come will be the same. Overeem will get knocked out again if not worse this time by dos santos who you kno will be coming back stronger after that horrible beat down by the hands of Cain.
Truly yours,
Pee pee
thats b.s it should be silva vs jds for the number one contender spot why is dana lettin silva jump up to the title shoot
Because otherwise you would have to wait even longer for Cain to get a fight.
Bigfoot is too slow and not talented enough to hang with Cain. They need to make a Super Heavyweight class for people big a bulky like Silva.
not interesting…Cain smashes BF, JDS KO's the Reem. yawn.
Of course in mma anything can happen and all it takes is one punch/kick to end a fight. However, im really confident that cain and jds will win their fights. If you like to gamble, you should definitely play these fights!
I dont know why no one seems to care that big foot couldnt see for half the first fight with cain, not that i think the result would be different but who knows i was also convinced reem would smash him and look what happened
come on UFC youre boring me these days
fukin bulllllshitt ,,, werdum would beat silva and jds..i think werdum is going be the next champ judging by his last outing..i have 0 interest i watching bigfoot big killed again…lets be honest he got lucky that reem ws soo cocky..reem is shit without roids and will lose to jds badly..but silva was lucky,,silva got handled by reem for 2 rounds ,,there no way he can hang with cain…ufc just makin mad events to gain money
Douche! Go back to JDS' record of vicious UFC KO's and find Werdum's name planted firmly there… Better yet, check the highlight reel on YouTube so you can see it with your own eyes!

In the golden age of cinema, filmmakers had to scout out locations or build sets for their movies. Now, directors have the freedom that comes with all-digital environments, built in a computer and made to look however the director wants. All they need is the right software and buckets of green paint. Here are a few movies made with these types of techniques, for you to enjoy from the comfort of your living room/virtual reality chamber.
"Sin City"
One of the most common reasons to go with the green screen approach when you're making a movie is to capture the look of a particular graphic work: In most cases, a comic book. And Robert Rodriguez spared nothing in bringing Frank Miller's crime comics to the screen with an often-creepy accuracy. The actors in "Sin City" don't just resemble the characters they're playing: They seem somehow xeroxed from page to the screen.

Robert Rodriguez talks about Lady Gaga and Sin City Sequel
After working with Lady Gaga on Machete Kills, director Robert Rodriguez knew she would have to be in his new Sin City sequel.[ezcol_2third]"I told her she had to be in it. But we needed to find a role small enough that she could do while she was on tour. And then this one popped up. We were shooting and it was just a couple of days away," Rodriguez said. "She happened to be on tour in Houston, just a couple of cities away from us in [/ezcol_2third] [ezcol_1third_end][/ezcol_1third_end] Austin. She was ready. She brought her own wigs! I said, 'We're not going to have time to make a wig for you.' She showed up, we did the scene, she knocked it out of the park and then she was back on tour."
Rodriguez is certain Gaga could have a long acting career if she wants it. "She would be fantastic," he said. "The camera loves her. She's a great performer. She's performed twice for me now and I was blown away by her discipline. She studied acting before she became a singer and you could really tell."

Tilden Preparatory School (Albany & Walnut Creek, CA)
editor note: Before 2009, Tilden Preparatory School was known as the School for Independent Learners
Re: Alternative for 14 year old who hates school? One alternative I highly recommend is Tilden Preparatory School (on Solano Ave in Albany, also a branch in downtown Walnut Creek) for middle through high schoolers. My child was there for middle school last year due to a chronic illness and it was a godsend. Students there may be Olympic athlete hopefuls, musical prodigies, have chronic illnesses or learning disabilities, or just in need of a more intellectually-engaging environment --- but each student's classes are tailored to him/her and to his/her schedule. My child took algebra, history, science, english and latin one-on-one with fabulous and stimulating teachers, all with advanced graduate degrees! Wow! It went from a potentially completely wasted year to a year of stimulation and learning, accomplished at his own pace (which was very fast once he was finally feeling better, and I credit sending him to Tilden Prep as part of what finally led to his complete and full recovery). There are full time as well as part-time students, electives like photography, and some academic group classes, as well as optional club meetings and discussion groups at lunchtime. It might just be the stimulating alternative your child could thrive in. Thankful Tilden Prep parent
If it wasn't for this school, I'm not sure my son would have finished high school. They truly understand the issues we face with our kids and get why they have lost faith in education.
My son had an amazing one on one teacher named Myles, who connected with him in a very special way. My son says he will never forget him and will always hold him in high regard. I am eternally grateful to Myles and to this school.
I wish you luck as you navigate this difficult time. I wish I had found Tilden earlier than I did A supportive parent
Re: School for profoundly gifted 12 year old
Hi, Our son sounds a little like your daughter. We had a bit of a time finding a school for him because of his asynchronous development, several years behind emotionally, ahead intellectually. Our son's case is a little more complicated by some learning issues. These were undiagnosed for a time as he was able to compensate for them keeping them hidden, (but at the cost of his self esteem). You might have your daughter tested to see if there are any hidden issues like these. We have a bunch of little ones, no huge smoking gun, but learning about them has really helped. However, the biggest change for us came from finding the right school, which turned out to be Tilden Prep. They are lovely, and have a campus in Albany and one in Walnut Creek.
Most schools just aren't made for or accepting of kids with these kinds of extremes. They should be, everyone is different. Tilden really does a respectable job in this department. Our son was miserable in public and a school for gifted kids ended up only highlighting all of his weaknesses. Tilden teaches one on one, or rarely, in very small groups, so your kid can be at their comfort level all the time, learning the way that works best for them. Your daughter could do AP classes there. They gradually worked my son up the homework ladder so to speak, being careful not to overwhelm him because that is something that can really frustrate him. It's a small school, but there are group electives and they have clubs and other activities that are well suited to our son. They really work to get a good fit for your child in terms of teachers and types of classes and they are very responsive to our kid's needs. I have only had cause to bring a few things to their attention but all were compassionately and almost immediately resolved. He's quite happy there. Now that we don't have drama around school, we've had time to find some other activities and outlets for our son that he really enjoys and we are all of us, much much happier. good luck to you!
Re: Private high school for disorganized smart kid
We are parents of a 13-year-old 8th grader who is high-achieving, but disorganized. Starting with 7th grade, we enrolled him at Tilden Prep. It's been a great fit for him. The one-on-one teaching keeps him focused and moving forward. The school is well-managed and extremely responsive. We definitely encourage you to check it out. Berkeley Dad
Hello, I'm interested in the one-on-one instruction and mastery learning at Tilden Prep School in Albany. That approach sounds great, but Tilden is such a small school. Our daughter does not have any learning issues, but she's been distracted during her freshman year and her grades were not very good despite the fact that she's a bright girl. We want her to have a chance to refocus on academics and to improve her grades. She of course is thinking more about the social aspects. Could Tilden be a fit? Or should we just give it up? (We find the teaching approach to be so appealing!)
If you have first hand experience with Tilden Prep, could you please share the following:
1. How are the teachers? Do Tilden teachers really get kids engaged in learning? Do kids really do better and retain the knowledge better with this learning approach?
2. Do we need to worry about drug issues? Because the school's so small, does it make it easier for drugs to be accessible?
3. My husband and I have had traditional education in large public schools, and, although we find Tilden's teaching approach to be very appealing, we're undecided about considering this non-traditional approach for our daughter. If she goes to Tilden, there would be no school dance, school plays, team sports, Prom, etc. Is it worth giving up those things for academics? Esp. when she does not have any learning issues (except for the teenage-disease ad lack of focus)? Has anyone tried Tilden for the academics and successfully supplement the social aspect somehow? How?
We'd appreciate any feedback you have! Anonymous
I've not heard about alcohol or drugs, and doubt that it's much of a problem.
There are some great social activities, but there is not the variety that large schools can offer, nor is there usually the opportunity to meet other students in class (some classes are 2-3 students if desired). If your student is involved in social activities outside of school, this might not be a problem, but it's something to consider. How easy/hard it is to attend part time depends on which public school is involved. Good luck!
Editor Note: Maybeck High School was also recommended
This is another rave review for Tilden Prep. I did everything I knew to do for my ADHD son (meds, special programs at his public school, therapy, used ed consultants, sent him to a special boarding school, sent him to another special boarding school, researched all the Bay Area schools suitable for him, sent him to Sterne School in SF). None of it worked nearly as well as his time at Tilden, because Tilden is 1:1 teaching by talented staff and talented administrators who set everything up with great intelligence and full customization. My son HATED being sent away to boarding school, but I could find nothing as good in the Bay Area, and I did an exhaustive search -- for middle schools, at the time. I now wonder how much better it all could have been if I had discovered Tilden Prep several years earlier.
All along, I had not heard of Tilden Prep in spite of all my research. I was referred to it by Sterne's wise headmaster. My son has blossomed at Tilden. He has developed a love of learning, his self-confidence has increased, he likes to discuss his school work with me (a first for him), he has loved his Tilden teachers, especially one of them (Hi, KW!) who I view as a teaching genius.
It just makes sense that a student with learning differences will benefit hugely from 1:1 help, and my son has. Tilden is a gem of a school. I'm familiar only with the Albany campus, but the Walnut Creek campus is run by the same amazing leaders. It's a v long commute for us (90 minutes door to door), via BART, but my son finds it well worth it and at long last loves school AND tells me how important it is.
I'd be happy to talk in more depth to anyone: just call Tilden for my contact info. A very grateful Tilden parent
We found that this was one of the best reasons to attend Tilden. The teachers were fantastic without exception. Our daughter learned more in a semester at Tilden than she would learn in a full year at her rigorous high school that she transferred from because she was really engaged in learning. Most importantly, she struggled with writing, and her writing skills improved by leaps and bounds. And yes, the knowledge is retained because the teacher really makes sure the student has learned the subject matter before moving on.
Drugs were never a problem for our daughter and we didn't hear much about them from other parents. There was one student who had an issue with drugs that we know of, and the school handled it so that student completed courses at home rather than coming to the school.
Social Opportunities:
Our daughter went to proms at other schools as an invited guest and that worked well for her. At Tilden, they have some structured social events like movie and game nights, all-school potlucks, etc., and everyone has the same lunchtime, so they can socialize then as well. There are also group classes that lead to social opportunities. For example, our daughter took an AP Art class and then the class went to the museum together.
Our daughter got to enjoy academic success, which boosted her self esteem immensely, and made her very confident when she went off to college. She sees herself as the bright student she is and that will be with her for the rest of her life, so we think that was a really good trade off. Tilden Grad Dad
We had been looking for some interesting and stimulating extracurriculars for our 6th grader this year. He's been fascinated with computers and technology since he was very young. He's had summer camp experiences getting some degree of familiarity creating simple computer games and web sites, but he really seemed ready and interested in learning about computer programming.
Tilden Preparatory School has a great reputation locally for working with kids on an individual basis for a variety of subjects (up to full-time) for middle school and high school kids. Shary Nunan, the director, was able to offer our son and his friend weekly classes on our schedule, starting with the basics of computer programming. Kenny Wat has been the instructor, and the results have been terrific so far. Both boys are incredibly engaged, and Kenny has the intelligence and experience to adjust to their individual learning styles.
Our son looks forward to programming class every week, and clearly feels he's learning something meaningful. While his biggest goal at the moment may be ''creating mods in Java for Minecraft'', the learning and computer skills he's learning will most likely be invaluable in other ways in the future. We highly recommend Tilden Preparatory, not just for the computer programming class, but for all the good things we've heard and seen about other course offerings, and the great people there who make it all happen. == Very happy with Tilden
If anyone had told me last September that my decision to send my daughter to Tilden Prep would have such a positive outcome, I would have laughed and would have not believed it at all. Last fall my daughter, who was a senior in boarding school back East, wanted to come home a few weeks after school started. She was depressed and extremely stressed, and I knew it was not wise to keep her there. It was one of the hardest decisions for me to make, but against all odds I decided to bring her back home. I was desperately looking for school once we came back home to Oakland, and read about Tilden Prep in the Berkeley Parents Network site. It looked like a possible option and I went to meet with the school administrators.
When I met with Shary Nunan last September and told her my predicament, she was so supportive and immediately started working with my daughter's school to get her transcript and prepared curriculum to complete high school. It was a blessing to find this school at such a difficult time. Everything went well and her transition went very smoothly.
I do not have words to tell you how supportive the school administrators and the teachers have been at Tilden throughout the school year. My daughter says that her teachers are the best teachers she has ever had, and that they bring the best out of her. She had a lot of work, classes were challenging and she complained at times. But in the end, she gained back her confidence and is much happier and ready to go to the college of her choice. She was able to work her grades up to A's and some B's, including her AP English class, and she was able to raise her GPA from 2.4 to over 3.0. She has been accepted to many colleges, including her first choice! Overall, it has been a wonderful year for my daughter. This would not have been possible without the teachers and school administrators at Tilden, and all the office staff that made sure all her paperwork was complete and sent on time to colleges. Please feel free to call me at 510/703-7909 if you would like to talk to me. Elsa
Re: Highly gifted ADHD student - which high school?
My daughter attends Tilden Prep. Like your child, she's very bright but also has ADHD. Academically Tilden has been a great fit. The pace is flexible, redundant assignments are avoided. She loves literature and has a lot of choice about the books she reads. The best thing about Tilden is the teachers, they are very smart and knowledgeable. She feels like she is treated like an intellectual equal when having discussions with them. She gets detailed editing and feedback on essays to improve her writing, that wouldn't be possible if a teacher had to edit 30 students' assignments. There is minimal social interaction among students. There are some clubs that meet at lunch time (book club, anime, gaming) and organized community service events. My daughter feels like there are basically two groups of kids, those who are really smart and don't fit in at 'normal' schools and kids who had to leave their schools for drug or other types of violations, but that doesn't have to change the flavor of the positive aspects unless you want it too (those are mostly her words). The flexible schedule is great, she has a whole day a week with no classes to pursue other interests, music ensemble and other hobbies. Overall it's a good fit for an introvert who is comfortable with adults, because the primary interactions are with the instructors in one-on-one class sessions. We are overall quite happy with the support she is getting around her learning differences too. Satisfied Tilden Parent
Our oldest child attended Tilden for one year, getting individual instruction from teachers. The directors are both knowledgeable in the education field, and we found the teachers to mostly be good. They are well-prepared in the topics they teach but they are not necessarily trained as teachers. The school seems to work well for students who are motivated and are able to get work done independently. It also allows students who are struggling with a subject to go at a slower pace. Because the classes are one-on-one it can get expensive.
Our younger child attends the new Mentoring Academy. The students take a mix of Mentoring classes and on-line classes. The classes are accredited and meet UC requirements. A wide range of classes is available and students who are ready for more challenging classes take college-level classes. They are at school from 9-5:30, working on their classes, getting individual tutoring, or working with other students on projects. They also participate in various social events. They complete all their work at school and don't have homework. Our child attended a private high school for two years and was a good student, but somewhat bored. At Mentoring he is taking classes that really interest him. The director, John Muster, is a gifted educator. He was well-respected by parents and students as the head of Maybeck High School. He has an amazing rapport with the students. At Mentoring he works closely with the students to make sure that they get the right classes and are actively engaged in their own educations. Mentoring Academy is new and still very small, but I imagine it will grow quickly as the word gets out, and there are plans to add art and other classes. It has been exciting to see our son so engaged in his classes. Even though he does not have homework he sometimes works at home because he is so interested in what he is doing. A Berkeley Parent
My husband and I are so happy to have found Tilden Preparatory School (on Solano Ave. in Albany) that we wanted other parents to be aware of this wonderful alternative to more traditional schools. After several years of bad experiences with public and private schools, my son (8th grade) had developed anxieties around attending school. The staff at Tilden were very willing to work with us to meet my son's specific needs and were very patient, understanding and caring in working with us through difficult times. The teachers we have had are uniformly excellent, but if, for whatever reason, we needed a change, the staff are always accommodating and flexible. I have never seen such responsiveness to student/parent needs in a school (and we've been through several!). It also is very well-run administratively; everything runs smoothly. One-on-one teaching is available, or teaching in small groups, and electives (such as digital photography) are available. And it is accredited. I wish I had been aware of Tilden sooner! Nancy in Berkeley
My son has attended Tilden Prep since Sept 2011, and it's the best fit for him EVER, after years of searching for the right place.
After resource help in grade school, extensive evaluations at Children's Health Center (Palo Alto), the help of a number of therapists, and a very rocky time in public school up to 6th grade, I sought the help of ed consultant Molly Baron, who recommended Forest Heights Lodge (Colorado), a residential treatment center that was excellent, except for the fact of my son being so far from home. Next, he went to two other boarding schools that experts said were suited to his diagnosis, and then to The Sterne School (San Francisco), where after one year the director referred us Tilden Preparatory School, or Tilden Prep. Tilden Prep has two campuses, one in Albany and one in Walnut Creek. We started at the Albany location, and I cannot say enough good things about it.
After my long struggle to find the best (or even an acceptable) fit for my son's complicated and hard-to-define learning issues, I can say that Tilden is the first place he has thrived. The one-on-one nature of classes seems very right for him (his diagnosis was originally ADHD with executive function impairment, depression, anxiety and easy distractability (making a classroom setting with even 5 others, as at Sterne, impossible for him). A recent expert called it ''the ABC diagnosis: a little of everything.''
Now, I get encouraging reports from his Tilden teachers (via the Tilden online quick-report daily comment site). I see his depression/anxiety waning. I see him telling me about his work at school. He is offering positive comments about his teachers (a first for years, after slowly coming to like some of his teachers at Forest Heights Lodge). This is the first time I see him actually learning at school, and liking it enough to tell me ''school is important'' the other day.
More about Tilden:
-- The two directors of Tilden Prep have wonderful credentials, and it shows. They far exceed what I saw at most of the 20+ other schools I visited. They are a delight to work with.
-- Most importantly, Tilden has hired teachers who are very impressive in terms of (1) what my son is learning (2) all their skills in engaging him, and (3) their ability to understand very quickly what his academic strengths and weaknesses are, and work from there.
-- Tilden's model of self-paced learning (i.e., not moving on until mastery of the work is achieved) is a blessing in creating confidence in my son, for the first time.
-- The flexibility of schedule is very helpful because of a long commute.
-- My son's learning disabilities do not show (as with Down syndrome) so he was very unhappy to be at ''special'' schools where many of the other kids had visually recognizable disabilities. He kept telling me these schools were not right for him, reducing his motivation to do his best. Esp now, I agree. At Tilden, he is at a ''regular'' school.
-- Tilden of course enrolls students of all kinds (high achievers, those with temp disabilities like illness, those with time constraints), for whom the teachers I have encountered would also be superb.
-- Tilden is like having the very best 1:1 tutor for each subject, meeting the student wherever he is right now, and taking that student as far as individually possible.
Parent of a Tilden Prep Student
Re: High school that accommodates ADHD student
Hi - I would add Tilden Preparatory School to your list. My son has AD/HD and attended there last semester when he was overwhelmed at his highly academic/competitive public school. It is a wonderful supportive environment for all types of students and tries to help kids learn organizational skills without penalizing them for executive functioning weaknesses. The teaching is usually one-on-one or sometimes small groups. Kids get to focus on the course content without getting overwhelmed by the busy work that some high schools require. Grateful mom
My daughter is 14 and started at Berkeley High in the IB program this year. In the past, she loved school, but it's gotten increasingly more difficult socially over the years. She excels in school academically (this is a kid who read The Hobbit in first grade) but is bothered by the general attitude of most of the students and teachers who don't care about actually learning. She is also suffering under a huge load of busywork. We're looking into alternate options, especially Maybeck, for next year. Is there anyone who has transferred their child from BIHS to Maybeck?
Re: Summer Physics for high schooler?
I highly recommend Tilden Prep on Solano Ave in Albany. http://www.tildenprep.com/ 510-525-5506 The school offers excellent college prep classes taught by engaging teachers who know their subjects well. The course can begin at any time and the student works at his own pace. Our son completed his AP Chemistry class there during the summer - a very challenging course - and had a great experience. He is now finishing his senior year and has been accepted to the four colleges he has applied to. Mom
Our 15 year old son is shy and often not willing to speak with people he doesn't know. But even he knows that he needs help with his French and Chemistry classes and has asked for help. He is smart and funny, but needs coaxing. The younger (and cooler) the tutor the better. He will need drawing out. Do you have someone you can recommend?
My son attended the School for Independent Learners (now named Tilden Prep) during the summer of 2008. He is a student at Berkeley High School and had been ill (with Mono) his junior year. He had fallen behind and need to make up 2 classes, Chemistry and Math Analysis (pre-Calc). It was very important for him to complete these classes prior to his senior year and college application. The School for Independent Learners, located on Solano Ave in Albany was a wonderful experience for my son. He took both classes with a teacher one on one. He learned the material and was able to complete the classes at his own pace. My experience as a parent was very positive as well. Daily progress reports were posted and my phone calls were always returned the same day. I would recommend this school for students that want to make up work, complete classes over the summer for any reason, or want to work at their own pace. kmbw
Re: Considering alternatives to public high school
My son, too, struggled with similar problems-- wasn't engaged with his high school classes, spent way too much time on the computer playing video games, and was not very social. He also struggled with anxiety. I took him out of his too large and too hectic high school and he is doing much better at the School for Independent Learners in Albany. The directors, Shary and Karen, are fantastic, and so are the teachers. I wish I'd known about this school when my son first began high school. It is wonderful to see him excited about learning. Grateful mom
I would like to hear from anyone who has experience with the full time program at the School for Independent Learners in the East Bay (Albany). I have a 15 year old (10th grade) son who has struggled in school since 7th grade. He is very bright, but does not seem to do well in traditional public school environments. He is currently attending a small public charter school but I am looking for an alternative before it is too late for him to qualify for entrance to a 4-year college. looking for an alternative
SIL is a great alternative to traditional education in that it is truly self-paced, works with the whole child, and works to meet each child's individual needs. If your teen is bored, unmotivated, anxious, struggling, interested in things other kids aren't, I believe SIL can work with your child. Teens with special learning needs, emotional needs, or differences do well at SIL as well as kids who find school boring, slow, who are not interested in the social scene at their school (perhaps put off by the party-drug scene, or who are pursuing a time-consuming interest or sport. My daughter who is bright but was undermotivated found the high-powered High School she attended was not a great match for her needs. No more wasted time, no more repetitive homework assignment, and teachers who take the time to know your teen as a person. We have found the teacher's at SIL are not only warm and inspiring but they show a deep respect for who our daughter is.
Some kids at SIL just repeat a class they received a failing grade in, or take an advanced placement class not offered at their school, or receive tutoring or SAT preparation. Others take several classes or do a full load. If your child is not getting what they need or deserve at their present school, I would highly recommend calling The School For Independent Learners.

Pebble Beach is Ugly
This photo is of Padraig Harrington, on the 7th hole of Pebble Beach on Sunday. Honestly, I don't get the big deal of this golf course? It isn't like it's pretty, or has cool shit like waves hitting walls. Seriously, I'd rather just play the local muni here in Phoenix.

I guess your post begs the question: what makes a golf course "pretty" to you then?

come on Roody - you must not have been to Phoenix to see the ranging caverns of Cave Creek, or the majestic tree lined fairways of Maryvale, or the stone rough of Papago Park (with the local 15th club rule to play from the rough).
Or maybe you just missed the tongue in cheek humor. :-)

No, I haven't been to either of those areas for golf, but would love to some day.
And it wouldn't be the first time I've missed the joke on an interwebnets blog either. ;-)

Join Chad Perkins, an author and videographer, as he introduces the essential concepts and techniques necessary for shooting video with a DSLR camera. Targeted at beginning videographers and anyone interested in shooting better video, this course covers cinematography basics, DSLR pitfalls, important gear, and postproduction workflow. Along the way, discover how to choose lenses, record audio, and make shots more professional.
This course was created and produced by Chad Perkins. We are honored to host this content in our library.
Chad Perkins: Many DSLR cameras have something called a CMOS sensor. The CMOS sensor looks at your image a line at a time, and it doesn't often read and record data fast enough to keep up quickly with moving objects, or when the camera moves around quickly. This creates what is referred to as a rolling shutter effect. It makes straight lines wavy and generally creates a wobbly look. Because of that, this is colloquially referred to as jello cam. While there's not much you can do to fix this completely, there is a fix in Adobe products, such as Adobe After Effects or Adobe Premiere Pro that can kind of reduce this effect and all you have to do is apply it to have that fix applied. It's incredible.
In some cases, you can completely get rid of any rolling shutter problems with this amazing software, but it is best to avoid it in the first place if you can help it.

(AP) WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are having an evening out, celebrating senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett's birthday.
The celebration is taking place at Restaurant Nora near Washington's DuPont Circle, just a few blocks from the White House. The restaurant is known for its organic cuisine and as a favorite of Hillary Clinton's.
The White House says the first couple and Jarrett were joined by a few close friends. Jarrett's birthday was Thursday.

U.S. Supreme Court decision hailed in Vermont
MONTPELIER — In a 5-4 decision Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the top federal environmental agency must reconsider whether to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles under the Clean Air Act.
The move is likely to boost the efforts of several states — including Vermont — trying to reduce the emission of greenhouse gas pollutants that cause global warming.
"This decision really turbo-charged Vermont's efforts at cleaning up our air and taking action to address the very real dangers of global climate change," said Attorney General William H. Sorrell, a Democrat. "The court made it very clear that curbing pollution is the responsibility of all of us, at every level of government."
In the case, court rebuffed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) assertions that it does not have the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles.
Justice John Paul Stevens wrote the opinion for the majority, and he was joined by Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Ginsburg, Anthony Kennedy, and David Souter. The dissenters were Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito.
In the majority opinion, the court said that the federal Clean Air Act unambiguously gives the EPA authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions, a position taken by a dozen states, including Vermont. The court found that the "harms associated with climate change are serious and well-recognized" and that "EPA has offered no reasoned explanation for its refusal to decide whether greenhouse gases cause or contribute to climate change."
Gov. Jim Douglas, a Republican, has long asserted that the federal government needs to become more aggressive in its enforcement of environmental laws, and is supportive of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles. "The federal government's roadblocks to our efforts at cleaning Vermont's — and the nation's — air are unacceptable, and I applaud the Supreme Court for its decision today," he said in a statement.
Vermont's Natural Resources Secretary George Crombie also hailed the decision, saying that it would give states added ammunition in the fight against climate change. "This decision is a huge catalyst in setting the stage for managing the environment in this era of global warming," Crombie said. "The court made it clear that the dangers of doing nothing are real. This is a real victory for the environment."
Aside from Vermont, the city Burlington was one of four cities nationwide that joined the amicus brief of Community Rights Counsel (CRC), urging the Supreme Court to hold that the EPA should regulate such emissions.
"This decision is a significant step forward in gaining control over our greenhouse gas emissions. When these emissions are causing so much damage, they need to be regulated along with other pollutants," said Mayor Bob Kiss, a Progressive.
Under the Clean Air Act, states may adopt California's tailpipe emissions standards in lieu of minimum federal standards. Vermont and eight other states have adopted California's standards to reduce fleet-wide global warming emissions from new vehicles by 25 percent in model year 2009, rising to 30 percent in model year 2016. Had the Court ruled in favor of the Bush administration and the U.S. auto industry, Vermont's clean cars law would have been in greater jeopardy, said one environmental group.
"This is perhaps the greatest example in recent times of science winning over politics," said Paul Burns, executive director of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group. "In the face of overwhelming worldwide evidence, Pres. Bush and his administration have been ignoring the facts, attacking the messengers and stifling their own scientists in an effort to block action against global warming. The Supreme Court's unambiguous rebuke in this case has removed the last fig leaf in the administration's defense of industrial polluters."
Vermont's congressional delegation was also pleased with the ruling.
"Even with its very conservative makeup, the Supreme Court sent a loud and clear message to the Bush administration that the EPA can no longer bury its head in the sand and ignore global warming," said Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT. "This is a one-two punch against the Bush administration and for the environment."
Sanders and Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-CA, chairwoman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, are sponsors of far-reaching legislation aimed at combating climate change. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-VT, is a cosponsor of the bill.
The Global Warming Pollution Reduction Act calls for a reduction of emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.
At a press conference, Rep. Peter Welch, D-VT, who has lent his name to several bills aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting renewable energy, said the ruling was not only good for the enviornment, but for the economy.
"The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that carbon emissions are actually pollution, and this means that under the Clean Air Act that they will be subject to regulation. That is good news for our environment, good new for our country," said Welch. "It's quite astonishing that the Bush administration resisted this but it is consistent with their approach on global warming — to deny that it exists and then reluctantly acknowledge that it does exist."
Welch said he hoped the ruling would now allow the country to focus on the "issue of our time — global warming."

UVM Aiken lecture series on global warming: No time to waste
BURLINGTON — Jerome Ringo has made a habit of leading African-Americans into new realms.
He was the first African-American ranger at the world's largest Boy Scout Camp, the only African-American delegate to the Kyoto global warming treaty negotiations, and, in 2005, he was selected as chair of the National Wildlife Federation, the first African-American in U.S. history to lead a major conservation organization.
Now he's working on bringing more people of color into the battle against climate change.
Ringo will address this work and other dimensions of the looming problem of the warming planet as the lead speaker for the University of Vermont's spring Aiken Lectures, "Global Climate Change-No Time To Waste" on Thursday.
The free, public event will be held at UVM's Recital Hall on the Redstone Campus, 4-6:30 p.m.
"It is clear that poor people and people of color are going suffer a disproportionate impact of global warming — so we must work together on this," Ringo said, now the president of the powerful Apollo Alliance that works for U.S. energy independence and job creation.
Ringo spent more than 20 years working for Louisiana petrochemical industries, not known as a hotbed of environmentalism.
"It gave a real clear perspective on the other side of the fence," he said, as he went on to become an organizer of environmental justice groups in low-income communities in Louisiana.
Drawing on his diverse experiences, he will speak on "Climate and Atmosphere: Shared Critical Resources, Responsibilities and Values."
"This year's lectures are asking: how do we-practically-get beyond the hostility that so often rises when we have differences of opinion about conservation?" said Larry Forcier, UVM professor in the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, and an event organizer.
Following Ringo's address, the focus will then turn to conflict resolution on the international stage. The second Aiken lecture will be given by Dr. Lawrence Susskind, an experienced environmental dispute mediator and professor in the department of urban studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He will speak on "Negotiating International Consensus and Taking Collective Action."
Susskind has mediated more than 50 complex disputes related to public health, environmental hazards, and worker safety, including negotiations within the World Trade Organization. He founded and for 13 years was president of Consensus Building Institute a not-for-profit organization that provides mediation services to clients worldwide. Susskind joined the MIT faculty in 1971.

My former account under the username dankeene was deleted for saying the phrase "brothel madam catfight". That did not violate any terms of service at all. Why don't you alert the "authorities" about the people who use the term " B jobs"?
no violation of the terms of service there, just referencing the PD article here
what did I do.
I'll tell you what I didn't do.
Omit a FELONY on a job application when prompted with the question : Have you been charges with or been convicted of any felonies?
Why does this person get special treatment? Usually, FELONS don't get government jobs. Usually, FELONS have a hard time getting honest jobs at McDonalds, so they slither off to work in the adult industry, who have more "relaxed" standards.
But if you become a democratic cleveland butt kisser for long enough, they will look the other way if you can bring them the brookpark road vote.
E55 and chester isn't exactly the best neighborhood to show our potential out of towners.
Isn't it true that with pitbulls you have to carry $1000 liability insurance for them?
The problem isn't with the dogs. It is the owners. The owners of a certain culture who are a bunch of wanna be mike vicks.
Nice picture Frank!
If you shaved his head he looks like the sloth the deformed fratelli from the goonies.
Sure, some disclosing felons deserve a second chance who have expecience and education and the highest praise from references, especially when their records have been clean for decades......but, a backround with strip clubs + omitting a felony on an application? The auditors office and personel director should be held accountable for letting that trash slip by the goalie.
Why is it that public institutions cannot figure out how to buy and correctly implement technology? BMV computers, diebold, Cleveland city council email....
If any form of government is going to spend tax dollars on something, there should be some sort of super cyber geek who has the last ord when buying and setting up a system. Not a lowest bidder or some company who has the best presentation.
A BMV joke is a little too chiche, but jeez, BMV YOU SUCK, you could not do your jobs before computers, and now you have found another way to avoid being productive.
You hillbillies should use your outhouses BEFORE you go to the hoedowns.
When the supreme court rules that dictating the lives of human beings is not within the scope of powers of the city of cleveland, you all can file a counter suit.
If the city provided decent public schools, maybe people might want to stay.
Sure the workers knew the residency rules when the got hired. They also knew about pay raises and overtime pay. How can he city withold pay raises and overtime pay, not holding up their end of the bargain, and have a leg to stand on and demand he workers hold up theirs.
If I a white male, votes for a white candidate because he is white, I'm a racist.
If black candidate wont back a black candidate they get torn to shreds.
No wonder your community is trash. You can't see the double standard? You call for the end of discrimination and bigotry, but employ it yourselves. Enjoy living in the crime ridden ghetto, you have earned it.
This is one of the most slanted aticles I have read on cleveland.com. If Aaron Marshall had his way, the state would need to have translators for french, arabic, spanish, german, chinese, farsi, swahiili,russian .....
There is nothing wrong with this legislation at all. Since when was streamlining things in government. There used to be a time when people moved here and acclimated to our way of life.
If I moved to Thailand, should I expect them to change their ways and customs to accomodate me? I don't think so.
It doesn't matter what the sinister motivation behind the bill is. It is the right move. Can you name one other country that allows people to fill out government forms and do business with the state in whatever language that suits them?
lakewood216, why don't you start leaving your comments on this board in chinese, and expect the rest of us to learn chinese to reply.
Where will rotor man live?
Has anyone seen super troopers? It looks like farva finally got his.
try actually reading the article before commenting on it. They didn't ordr to their own address.
They are justucky they didn't get what that cloud kid got and had coming.
no, scrivo, because the framers of our constitution wanted every citizen in this country to be able to defend their life and property.
How easy do you think it is to be allowed access to deadly weapons?
Do you think it is the responsible gun owners who have gun liscences and permits, or unliscenced and without permits criminals who go out and commit violent crimes?
Kinsman and E75. No snitch rule in full effect. Live it, love it, but when you get hurt you sure will want someone else to snitch.
I am no liberal by a long shot, but who cares.
When my parents were my age it was not legal for a black to marry a white. 50 years from now, well after this passes my kids and grandkids will look back at us the same way I look back at the people who opposed interracial marriages, as bigots.
Live and let live. Golden rule. He who is without sin cast the first stone.
Besides, how is ken "carlton banks" blackwell even relevant?

Report: Gun Deaths To Exceed Traffic Fatalities By 2015
According to data compiled by Bloomberg, the number of gun deaths is to exceed the number of traffic fatalities for the first time since the invention of the car by the year 2015.
As motor-vehicle deaths have dropped by 22% between the years of 2005 to 2010, gun fatalities are on a steady rise since a low point back in the year 2000.
By extending the 10-year average trend, shooting deaths will most likely rise to 33,000 by 2015 while traffic related fatalities will decline to about 32,000.
We have been cracking down on traffic violators as well as producing safer cars, while on the other hand, says Garen Wintemute, the director of the Violence Prevention Research Program at the University of California, "we've made policy decisions that have had the impact of making the widest array of firearms available to the widest array of people under the widest array of conditions."
With the Sandy Hook Massacre sparking a gun-buying frenzy, we are more than likely to see an increase in gun related violence in the United States. Unless we start tightening our gun policies, the United States is going to be headed towards a bleak future.
