hey trickster,
what distro is this?
I was trying to set up Grub. I downloaded the source for 0.91, applied the boot splash patch, and installed it. It went flawlessly. Then I went to the PET's page to look up the GRUB pet. I realize that it says there that, after installing Grub, I should have a /boot/grub directory. But no directory appeared.
I haven't tried to run grub yet, since I don't know how it will work without this folder. There seems to be no menu.lst or grub.conf either. Any ideas?
This is my lilo.conf:
# LILO configuration file
boot = /dev/hda
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
timeout = 1200
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256
vga = 773
# DOS bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hda1
label = Windows
table = /dev/hda
# DOS bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda4
label = Linux
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20pre5
root = /dev/hda4
label = Slackware
# Linux bootable partition config ends
ah - okay, well for *you* i would make a directory in /etc/ and call it grub, then make the grub.conf file in /etc/grub and try to make it like the config in the PET.
I am assuming you grabbed off the source - or is there a slack package for grub?
No, I used the source. Should the grub.conf be the only file there?
Hi Trickster,
Okay - If you don't have it then please go get it - it is check install - is is easy to use and makes life much easier when a little mistake is made, and it makes nice slackware packages too.
after you have checkinstall, or if you decided to he** with pbharris, i don't need no stinking checkinstall then run make install tehre is an isntall scrpit, for the source it defaults to installing here:
/usr/local/sbin/grub-install - try running it as root and you should be on your merry way.
btw - here is pretty close to what i would make your grub.conf look like, you wopuld need to create the initrd images:
i am not sure of what i would put in for the vga stuff....Code:timeout=60 splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Linux root (hd0,3) kernel /boot/vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hda4 hdc=ide-scsi initrd /boot/initrd.img title slackware root (hd0,3) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20pre5 ro root=/dev/hda4 hdc=ide-scsi initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20.img title windows rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1
you have to manually create the /boot/grub directory and copy stage1 and stage2 files there, the create the /boot/grub/menu.lst file as pbHarris said.
Another good tutorial on installing grub is
Where do I get the stage1 and stage2 files? and how do I make the initrd images?
I have somewhere the link on the vga stuff.
hey trickster - when you do the make install the files are put in the following directories:
Code:/usr/doc/grub-0.92/AUTHORS /usr/doc/grub-0.92/BUGS /usr/doc/grub-0.92/COPYING /usr/doc/grub-0.92/ChangeLog /usr/doc/grub-0.92/INSTALL /usr/doc/grub-0.92/NEWS /usr/doc/grub-0.92/README /usr/doc/grub-0.92/THANKS /usr/doc/grub-0.92/TODO /usr/local/bin/mbchk /usr/local/info/dir /usr/local/info/grub.info /usr/local/info/grub.info-1 /usr/local/info/grub.info-2 /usr/local/info/grub.info-3 /usr/local/info/multiboot.info /usr/local/man/man1/mbchk.1 /usr/local/man/man8/grub-install.8 /usr/local/man/man8/grub-md5-crypt.8 /usr/local/man/man8/grub.8 /usr/local/sbin/grub /usr/local/sbin/grub-install /usr/local/sbin/grub-md5-crypt /usr/local/share/grub/i386-pc/e2fs_stage1_5 /usr/local/share/grub/i386-pc/fat_stage1_5 /usr/local/share/grub/i386-pc/ffs_stage1_5 /usr/local/share/grub/i386-pc/jfs_stage1_5 /usr/local/share/grub/i386-pc/minix_stage1_5 /usr/local/share/grub/i386-pc/reiserfs_stage1_5 /usr/local/share/grub/i386-pc/stage1 /usr/local/share/grub/i386-pc/stage2 /usr/local/share/grub/i386-pc/vstafs_stage1_5 /usr/local/share/grub/i386-pc/xfs_stage1_5
Ok, I got it installed. the grub-setup did not worked, but I ran grub, then did root (hd0,3), then install, and it worked fine. However, I did not got the vga patch to work. I found some documentation on it, though. I'm going to play with it a bit more, and will post how to do it if I get it working.

As you can imagine, it is kind of hit-and-miss as lightning doesn't stick around long for picture taking. I was very excited to capture a couple images of the lightning. :-) This was a first for me! I took 91 shots, and 2 of them actually had lightning in them. But it was worth it."

Health Care Reform
- What You Need to Know about the Health Care Law
Are you covered? The Affordable Care Act, otherwise referred to as health care reform, requires those who are uninsured to get health insurance. While the start dates of some key programs have been postponed, enrollment in health insurance programs is expected to begin this fall and several other key provisions of the act are becoming effective in the new year. Here are some insights and advice to help you understand what these changes mean.

This column has been updated to clarify that the one-year period during which two or more IRA-to-IRA rollovers should be avoided starts when the IRA owner receives the distribution.
Retirement experts call it a game changer for the 50 or so million households in the U.S. that own an individual retirement account — an IRA.
Uncle Sam's Tax Court just ruled that the one-rollover-per-year rule applies to all of a taxpayer's IRAs rather than to each IRA separately. And that ruling, say experts, is in direct conflict with IRS Publication 590, the bible for IRAs.
"Industry leaders, financial advisers, and everyone else who handles IRAs are stunned," said Denise Appleby, the editor and publisher of The IRA Authority
According to Appleby, there are two ways to move money between IRAs.
- Transfers, which are not reported to the IRS and not reported on a tax return. The IRA owner never touches the money. You can do this as often as you like, whenever you like, Appleby said.
- And rollovers. With this method, the IRA owner takes the money as a distribution and they have 60-days to rollover (put back) the amount in an IRA. And this, you can do only once per 12-month period, said Appleby.
According to Appleby, the IRS, through their publications and regulations, has said for at least 20 years that the rollover method applies on a "per-IRA" basis. In other words, if you have 10 IRAs, you can do 10 rollovers for the year (12-month period), as long as an IRA does it only once (or the year).
Here's the guidance found in Publication 590, which everyone viewed as gospel:
Bank overdraft fees hit new highs
Squeezed by falling revenue on deposit accounts, banks are turning to a familiar source of income: overdraft fees. AnnaMaria Andriotis reports on MoneyBeat. Photo: Getty Images.
"Generally, if you make a tax-free rollover of any part of a distribution from a traditional IRA, you cannot, within a one-year period, make a tax-free rollover of any later distribution from that same IRA. You also cannot make a tax-free rollover of any amount distributed, within the same one-year period, from the IRA into which you made the tax-free rollover.
"The one-year period begins on the date you receive the IRA distribution, not on the date you roll it over into an IRA."
The IRS gives this example: You have two traditional IRAs, IRA-1 and IRA-2. You make a tax-free rollover of a distribution from IRA-1 into a new traditional IRA (IRA-3). You cannot, within 1 year of the distribution from IRA-1, make a tax-free rollover of any distribution from either IRA-1 or IRA-3 into another traditional IRA.
However, the rollover from IRA-1 into IRA-3 does not prevent you from making a tax-free rollover from IRA-2 into any other traditional IRA. This is because you have not, within the past year, rolled over, tax free, any distribution from IRA-2 or made a tax-free rollover into IRA-2.
Enter Alvan and Elisa Bobrow, who had a few IRAs.
In 2008, Alvan rolled over two distributions from his IRAs and took the position that the rollovers were valid because they were done in a timely manner, and involved different IRAs, Appleby wrote in her analysis of the court case. His position was that he had not broken any rules, as explained by the IRS in their publication for the past 20 years.
The IRS disagreed and determined that only one of the two rollovers was valid. So, Uncle Sam and the Bobrows went off to court. And the Tax Court — much to the surprise of all IRA experts — agreed with the IRS.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
New York Times Best-Selling Author.
The Long-Awaited New Installment in the Popular and Award-Winning Vorkosigan Series. Starring the Explosively Charismatic Miles Vorkosigan.
Miles Vorkosigan is back!
Kibou-daini is a planet obsessed with cheating death. Barrayaran Imperial Auditor Miles Vorkosigan can hardly disapprove—he's been cheating death his whole life, on the theory that turnabout is fair play. But when a Kibou-daini cryocorp—an immortal company whose job it is to shepherd its all-too-mortal frozen patrons into an unknown future—attempts to expand its franchise into the Barrayaran Empire, Emperor Gregor dispatches his top troubleshooter Miles to check it out.
On Kibou-daini, Miles discovers generational conflict over money and resources is heating up, even as refugees displaced in time skew the meaning of generation past repair. Here he finds a young boy with a passion for pets and a dangerous secret, a Snow White trapped in an icy coffin who burns to re-write her own tale, and a mysterious crone who is the very embodiment of the warning Don't mess with the secretary. Bribery, corruption, conspiracy, kidnapping—something is rotten on Kibou-daini, and it isn't due to power outages in the Cryocombs. And Miles is in the middle—of trouble!
"Fresh, intriguing, and, as always with Lois McMaster Bujold, superb." —Robert Jordan
"It is such a delight to read something by such a good writer, who now seems to be writing at the height of her powers. . . . I really have seldom enjoyed a book so much . . . I couldn't turn the pages fast enough." —Diana Wynne Jones
"Living breathing characters who inhabit unusual yet believable worlds." —Jean Auel
"Bujold successfully mixes quirky humor with just enough action, a dab of feminist social commentary and her usual superb character development . . . enormously satisfying." —Publishers Weekly
"One of sf's outstanding talents . . . an outstanding series." —Booklist
"Excellently done . . . Bujold has always excelled at creating forceful characters and she does it here again." —
". . . an intelligent, well-crafted and thoroughly satisfying blend of adventure, sociopolitical commentary, scientific experiments, and occasional perils . . . with that extra spicing of romance. . . ." —Locus
"Fans have been clamoring for Hugo winner Bujold to pen a new Vorkosigan Saga novel since 2002's Diplomatic Immunity, and they will not be disappointed by this thoughtful tale. Only five days after arriving on Kibou-daini for a cryonics conference, interplanetary diplomat Miles Vorkosigan narrowly escapes kidnapping. Drugged, dazed, and alone, he is taken in by Jin Sato, whose mother was the leader of a cryonics reform movement until being declared mentally ill and involuntarily frozen. Now Jin lives in a building full of squatters running an illegal cryonics clinic. Under imperial orders to investigate the shady dealings of the cryo cartels, Miles connects the far-flung pieces and exposes a sneaky plot. Bujold introduces appealing characters to join familiar ones in exploring the ramifications of a planet-wide culture of postponing death, and her deft and absorbing writing easily corrals the complex plot and softens the blow of a tear-jerking conclusion. (Nov.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)

Shimmering Sands — Bringing new light to the Gulf Coast
Ono Professional Partners and New Condos Online come together to form a strategic partnership in offering a new Gulf Oppertunity Zone (GO ZONE) devlopment — The Shimmering Sands Sits in the stunning Gulf Coast area of Alabama. The GO ZONE was established to help rebuild the areas in which Hurricane Katrina harmed or effected. From GOZONEGUIDE.com:
"The Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005 (H.R. 4440 passed by Congress on Dec. 16, 2005, and signed by President Bush on Dec. 21, 2005) establishes tax incentives and bond provisions to rebuild the local and regional economies devastated by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The act is commonly referred to as the "GO Zone Act."
While the entire state of Louisiana is part of the Hurricane Katrina Disaster Area, the provisions of the GO Zone Act apply only to a limited number of Louisiana parishes, defined as the "Core Disaster Area" and referred to as the "GO Zone." However, it is also important to note that the GO Zone reaches far beyond Plaquemines, Calcasieu, Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard and the other parishes most devastated by Katrina and Rita."
This act will benefit the landowners, developers and also help the new homeowner by offering specific tax incentives to those designated areas, Shimmering Sands in one such area where the coast was not badly scarred and was redeveloped as part of an extensive rebuilding process in the gulf coast. The local area offers a beautiful landscape on the gulf in a warm and friendly community. Shimmering Sands was developed in a strategic location to maximize the local amenities brought on by the beautiful gulf coast and the many 4 star resorts near by — Resort style living in a friendly, relaxing community. New Alabama condos and new gulf shores condos are being developed to take advantage these special government incentives but none really compare to what Shimmering Sands has to offer — with its proximity to the Gulf Shores, Arnold Palmer Golf Course and the Wharf resident attraction, these much to do to shake the stress away.
With real estate prices steadily rising, Shimmering Sands offers incredible values for homeowners who want an exciting coastal way of life.

This is the season all the spiders wait for. This is the time, after the last molt, when the males become obvious, their petapalps, now obvious, jutting outward, like little clubbed hands, the males move about looking for the females that lie in wait. The orb weavers suspended within their vertical matrix, the fact that their eye sight is so pitifully inadequate, is a mere hinderance, never an issue, since they rely upon the tension changes that occur within their webs. So perfect, even with the holes and gaps; that the slightest movement will catch a gal's attention. Feast or foe, or a moment of amorous dance that can last all night long. Pity it only takes a second to actually happen, the 'coire complir.'
After the dance, the game begins, and a speed racer he must now become. His guide line, the spinnerets that hold his only hope of survival, must not fail him now. Like a bungee jumper he drops off and dangles, away from her reach, but only if he is lucky; only is he is faster than she, lest he become her dinner.

The Danish Health and Medicines Authority issues a GMP certificate or a statement of non-compliance with GMP within 90 days after a GMP inspection (inspection of good manufacturing practice). This is done in accordance with the agreed European procedures for inspectorates.
A GMP certificate is issued on the basis of a completed GMP inspection of a manufacturer operating in accordance with the EU GMP regulations. The certificate is issued provided that adequate documentation on the inspection follow-up is submitted.
The GMP certificate declares that the manufacturer complies with GMP, and it will include a reference to the actual inspection, as well as which activities and under which legislation they have been inspected.
The date of the certificate will be the last date of the inspection. Each site receives one GMP certificate and for each site, a GMP certificate is issued per domain inspected (1). The GMP certificates are issued in a common EU format defined by EMA (European Medicines Agency).
Danish pharmaceutical manufacturers will be regularly inspected and will generally always have a valid GMP certificate.
Danish API manufacturers (manufacturers of active pharmaceutical ingredients) should request an inspection at the latest six months before the current GMP certificate expires, in order to maintain a valid GMP certificate at any time. As stated in our questions and answers, we do not routinely inspect API manufacturers, but we do inspect manufacturing sites upon request.
Moreover, finished product manufacturers and API manufacturers outside Denmark are regularly inspected as part of the Danish Health and Medicines Authority's inspection programme in collaboration with other authorities in the EU; again GMP cerficates are issued upon a completed inspection with an adequate follow-up.
At present, GMP certificates are not issued after an inspection at a hospital pharmacy or private pharmacy with small scale preparation where the medicines are only distributed in Denmark. Nor are GMP certificates issued to feed mills (manufacturers of medicated feed) because medicated feed export will require an accompanying certificate from the Danish Health and Medicines Authority.
A GMP certificate can be valid for three years at the most, but the period of validity can be shortened under special circumstances. Because a GMP certificate refers to a specific inspection, it cannot be renewed or reissued before a new inspection is conducted and completed with adequate follow-up.
All GMP certificates as well as information on GMP non-compliance are regularly submitted to the EMA database, EudraGMP. Today, all Danish manufacturing authorisations are publicly available in EudraGMP. The Danish Health and Medicines Authority is continuously working to transfer the latest GMP certificates for all authorised Danish manufacturers as well as inspections conducted outside Denmark to the database.
The GMP certificate is issued as a PDF document and sent electronically to the qualified person or the contact person in the inspected company. At the same time, the certificate is uploaded in EudraGMDP. Printed GMP certificates are no longer issued. However, the Danish Health and Medicines Authority may help to issue authorised copies of the GMP certificate if the electronic version is not adequate.
As soon as the GMP certificates are available in EudraGMDP, the GMP status can be verified directly in the system instead of ordering a copy of the certificate.
Authorised copies can be ordered by sending an email to email@example.com, stating the certificate number of the certificate of which copies are requested, how many copies are requested, as well as to whom in the company (name and address) the copies are to be sent. The companies must not print the copy themselves and send it to the Danish Health and Medicines Authority.
Because the WHO GMP certificates H5-204, H5-205, H5-206, H5-207, H5-208 and H5-210 should not be used in the EU, concurrent issuance of these types of WHO GMP certificates will be phased out because of the issuance of GMP certificates conformant to the EMA format. If a special need arises from authorities in non-EU countries, the Danish Health and Medicines Authority will issue the WHO GMP certificates requested.
GMP certificates are issued in accordance with the EMA Compilation of Community procedures on inspections and exchange of information: The issue and update of GMP certificates.
The format for GMP certificates is available in the EMA Compilation of Community procedures on inspections and exchange of information: Community format for a GMP certificate.
Both Compilation procedures are available in a complete downloadable PDF file at Community procedures.
1) A GMP certificate will refer to one domain, i.e. a Directive. In Denmark, inspections are carried out within the following domains.
2) Medicinal products also refer to biological and sterile API, intermediate products as well as medicines for export.

Hey everyone,
Is there a way that I can send regular email reminder for all the users registered in the website without having a database?
For example, let's say I have a website that asks people to enter some special days and their email, and then like every month, they get an email as a reminder that "You have 60 days left for your special day".
I'm just throwing an example above, so I want to know if you guys have ideas of making that happen?
Thank you,

Girls and Science: A Dream Deferred
This blog post is an excerpt from Save Our Science: How To Inspire a New Generation of Scientists by Ainissa Ramirez (TED Books).
The 21st century requires a new kind of learner -- not someone who can simply churn out answers by rote, but a student who can think expansively and solve problems resourcefully. As a scientist and inventor, a longtime professor at Yale University, and a woman who has always been passionate about getting kids excited about science, I believe that the key to this goal is to improve science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education. These disciplines are rooted in the kind of thinking that is now critical. One of the most important aspects of this shift is to fix the false presumption that girls are not as good as boys in science and math.
Even though girls and boys sit next to each other in class, only 26 percent of STEM bachelor's degrees go to women. By allowing and encouraging society's message to girls that they are bad at these subjects, we're drastically reducing the number of our potential doctors, engineers, designers and computer scientists. Given the growing importance of STEM in the global economy, failing to nurture girls in these disciplines is dangerous for our country.
The data also shows that the difference among graduates is not due to girls' ability to do math and science; instead, the gender gap is caused by attitudes and behaviors toward girls and women, especially in the classroom. Recently, the American Association of University Women spelled out the STEM ecosystem for girls in its report titled Why So Few? The data shows that the input of girls and boys who are interested in math and science is nearly the same. So the problem has everything to do with the type of encouragement girls receive. To begin solving this problem, girls need additional encouragement to bypass the cracks in this STEM pipeline.
The fallacy that girls can't do math and science, which has morphed into an accepted belief, begins with the negative messages they receive every day. When I was younger, I loved Barbie dolls, but my love came to a halt more recently when Mattel released a talking Barbie doll that said, "Math class is tough." Just a few years ago, I saw a girl's T-shirt that said, "Allergic to Algebra." As much as we want to protect them, our girls see these stereotypes beginning in elementary school.
Worthwhile Pursuits for Girls
This was not always the case. In the post-colonial days of the United States, there was a strong intention to educate girls in science and math. In her 2003 book The Science Education of American Girls, historian Kim Tolley examines the evolution of girls' scientific interests from the antebellum era through the 20th century. Jedidiah Morse's Geography Made Easy, first printed in 1784, was the premier science textbook of the time and is dedicated "to the Young Masters and Misses." (Morse later founded a school for girls.) At the small all-girl secondary schools that began in New England in the early 1800s, girls studied geography, English, arithmetic, needlework and the arts. Geography contained topics such as astronomy, geology and history.
In the late 19th century, the physical sciences were considered a worthwhile pursuit for girls to undertake. In 1890, 58 percent of girls took physics and algebra. An array of school course catalogs shows that a greater percentage of all-girl high schools offered more physics and chemistry classes. After 1900, however, the number of girls in the sciences took a nosedive, as John Francis Latimer wrote in the 1958 book What's Happened to Our High Schools. By 1955, that number dropped to less than two percent.
The precipitous drop in girls' enrollment in STEM classes
Several factors caused this decline. Secondary schools began to offer courses in classics to promote their status and to help prepare girls for college, since they were needed for admission. Unfortunately, this reduced the science offerings. In addition, schools started to emphasize vocational training like home economics, which put another nail in the coffin for girls' STEM access. Then, during World War II, the role of science changed as it began to be associated with making weapons and going into to battle. These cultural mindsets pushed girls away from science.
The Next Challenge
Today, we are slowly recovering from this decimation of girls in the sciences. Still, it is important to examine the messaging that rides alongside our efforts to rebuild. In the discussion of different learning styles between boys and girls, we must recognize that girls' choices might be linked to this old legacy of prejudice. (It is something to consider.) The reality is that girls can do science and math just as well as boys. In fact, the gender ability gap is now narrowing in the U.S.; and in Great Britain, girls have outperformed boys in "male" topics like math and economics. The relationship between girls and science has never been a question about their skill, but more a reflection of how society views them.
So, we are at a crossroads and must make a change. We need fun and engaging STEM everywhere, like 3D printers at coffeehouses. We need science role models to inspire the next generation. And, most importantly, we need STEM programs outside of school to motivate and encourage the next generation until we right this STEM boat again. We can do it; we've done it before with Sputnik. To make this change possible, all hands on deck are needed to save our science.

Great post, Ainissa. I wanted to add some Girls in STEM resources for anyone who might be interested:
Girls In STEM Conference, April 6, 2013, Austin, TX:
National Girls Collaborative Project has a directory with a number of Girls in STEM programs as well.
If anyone has any experience with these or any other Girls in STEM programs, please add a note here!
(Why does a google search for "Maker Girls" yield a bunch of sites about makeovers?! Grr!)
This is such a great article!
I as a former high school student was very involved in science, participating in the state science fair and very interested in the world of science. I was not the best student instead science was my worst subject.
Now six years later, after soul seaching long and hard I have decided to pursue a career in Science education. I have had many role models in the science field including my grandfather and father. My goal is to help students have fun in science. Having fun to understand what is important. I stress that the more engaged I can get the students and the more involvement and fun they have the more they are willing to participate and understand important material.
Do you have any suggestions on things I can do to improve my future classroom? Projects? Different ideas on testing?
Ms. Ramirez, I really enjoyed reading your article. It is spot on and resonates with me. I have a huge passion for science and am a 5th grade teachers on a team of teachers that rarely crack open their science kits for the year. Out of all the subjects, I find science the easiest (and most fun!) to make engaging since it centers around projects, labs, and demos and involves a lot of hands-on activities and group activities. I also find it quite reasonable to pull in other subjects of learning into my science lesson (especially math and language arts). Before becoming a teacher, it was hard for me to understand why the big gender gap between male and female re: STEM interests and pursuits. But then when I became a teacher, I heard voices around me re-telling the myth that math and science are just harder for females. These voices were from other teachers, students' parents, and sadly, the students themselves. Although society has greatly changed, do you think that part of the reason behind these voices is that women are typically viewed as the ones to stay home and raise a family so they shouldn't "waste" their time and money with a STEM-associated career? Or, do you think it is simply a lame excuse for females to not have to try as hard in STEM subjects? These attitudes and behaviors, especially in my own school, greatly sadden me and make me want to all the more encourage my students- regardless of their gender, learning ability, personality, background, or preconceived notions- to jump into the world of science and experience how fascinating and addictive it is!
in our university around 17% of girls apply to do physics at undergraduate level, followed by a more substantial decline in the numbers moving into permanent academic jobs - only 7.9% of these undergraduates stay on to become senior lecturers and 4% professors.
Thank you for such a timely article! I am a teacher of middle school math where my love for math is definitely not the love the mainstream population has. In the article, Female teachers' math anxiety affects girls' math achievement, the authors state that It is definitely perpetuated by people's fear and anxiety about doing math--over and above actual math ability--can be an impediment to their math achievement (Beilock et al, 2009). This fear often comes from the influence of both parents and teachers especially at an early age. But teachers who in early education who are uncomfortable with math as well as teaching it communicate this discomfort affecting achievement. I agree that we are in need of all hands to create a change in dynamics of girls incorporating and becoming more mathematical and science oriented. Through programs such as Expanding your Horizons, we must provide opportunities for girls to see the advantages while using the applications of math and science.

Man wears personal ad: 'Wanted: a wife'
CORVALLIS, Ore. -- In an age of online dating and Craigslist hookups, an 82-year-old Corvallis man has gone back to advertising basics — wearing a personal want ad around his neck.
Below the bold computer print, McCulloch has written a message for anyone passing by—"this is not kidding."
"Ask for what you want, plainly and clearly," said McCulloch at the Old World Deli in Corvallis. "If you don't ask you will probably never receive."
McCulloch said he started wearing the sign in the lobby of the deli when a female friend in Corvallis told him there were many eligible, single women in town.
She jokingly told McCulloch he should wear a sign, an idea that he took to heart.
At 82, McCulloch said he is not looking for what his younger self would have wanted in a wife.
"At this point, I'd love to find the perfect companion," said McCulloch.
After three failed marriages before he was 39 years old, McCulloch said he has learned from his mistakes.
"If I may be so bold as to say, I've cleaned up my act," said McCulloch.
But not just any bride will do, said McCulloch.
On his sign, he has listed four criteria for what he is looking for in a wife: she must be over the age of 60, love books, have a sense of humor and live in Corvallis.
"I won't leave this town," said McCulloch. "I love this place, and at my old age it's the perfect place for an old man."
"My life is built around books," said McCulloch, who has published nine books of short stories. "If they don't like books, it's a lost cause."
However, he said he is willing to bend on one of his requirements.
"If a gorgeous 40 or 50-year-old came along and said I'm too young, but I want to do this, I would do it," said McCulloch.

Hi folks and Randy. I rode up to the rally with Randy last year and pre rode the trails for the GS rides. We ran into deep snow on one of the trails and had to modify the ride. Anyway I'll be coming from Chicago this year and would like to help out. Randy sorry to hear you might not make it. If some one would get in touch I'll be glad to do most anything.
joe - thanks, and pm sent.
Folks, in order to have truth in advertising (that is, to pull off what we're promising in this thread) we neeeeeeeeeedz volunteers!
*especially* needed is a person/team in western PA to help us pull off the GS Gypsy Tour.
Go soothingly through the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon.

I am planning to ride to the rally from the NYC area. The goal is to absolutely avoid highways (other than having to cross the Hudson river), largely avoid roads that have numbers and whereever possible avoid pavement.
Potential ride partners are welcome, and so are suggestions of not-to-be-missed roads.
Heading south or down the Delaware I think our dirt roads are limited so it would be a combination of surfaces.
For back road paved, which way do you plan to cross the Delaware ?
Would you be interested in forming your own group say meet at the Ear Inn then venture here on Rally week Tuesday or Wednesday ? On my end I could make a map or GPS file for your plan.
If one cannot command attention by one's admirable qualities one can at least be a nuisance
I am very much interested in forming my own group to head there from NYC. I am planning to cross the Delaware Rider at the Delaware Water Gap, coming from the north, though not as far north as Hancock, I do know some troublesome and fun routes south from Hancock to the water gap, though, if you're interested.
From Delaware Water Gap I am planning to head towards the rally site in a southwesterly direction, staying well north of I78/US 22.
Planning the route on the GPS is half the fun for me, but I will happily accept tips and suggestions!
Randy here, glad to see ya here again. Chicago? I'm still trying on my end to make Pennsylvania and saving dollars as fast as I can to get over the "gas pinch" this year. SO, look for me again, as I am still plugging away at this coming riding season and still riding the GSA1200. Get your GSA back? Make contact with Visian(IAN) as he needs guys like you...Randy
Is there anyone else out there that can help with this? We've got a goodly number of Adventure Detours courtesy of various friends around the country and we need to create corresponding Google Maps.
Is there anyone who knows how to do this automatically? I am using Garmin Basecamp (basically Mapsource for the Mac) and I can view a GPS route in Google Earth like a charm... but when you try to do the same thing in Google Maps, no joy.
Go soothingly through the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon.

I have a great friend, West Coast Phil James(F800 Dirt guy) that did this very task for us in Redmond at the rally, with much success, so I'll go look him up to see what he thinks he can do. Aok! GS Riders for all the pre rally rides last year lined up for this guy to upload their GPS's and it worked out swell. We'll see. Glad Joe Hutt is in contact, as we had a great time last year en route and at the rally. Joe was a great, very worthy helping hand on a F800GS and also owns a GSA1200.......Randy
First time looking at the GS Giant tread. Hoping to join in on the fun this year. Sounds like a great time is coming together.
Lots going on, you can read about it here over the next two months, and in the BMW ON. Be sure to Like on "The GS Giant" on Facebook, too.
Don't know what your plans are ahead of the rally, but if you're planning on joining the GS Giant Gypsy Tour, the Whispering Pines Campground will be your home on the last night of the ride.
HOWEVER... you don't have to be on the Gypsy Tour, or even a GS Giant competitor to camp here, should you be looking for a place to stay near Bloomsburg ahead of the rally.
The GS Giants will be showing up on Tuesday PM, July 19th, but ahead of that it's clean and green. just don't hog up all the space.
Here is a peek at the facilities:
Nice shady camping on flat, soft grass.
Pretty darn nice facilities.
Look forward to seeing you there!
Go soothingly through the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon.

Thanks for the campground info, looks great. I need to look into some of these rides and events and hopefully hook up with some of you before and/or during the rally. Looking forward to some well needed time on the bike.
I'm officially in and paid for.
Looking forward to the festivities.
I'm lost. I've gone to find myself. If I get back before I return. Please ask me to wait.

Former Orioles first-round pick Billy Rowell has received a 50-game suspension after a second violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program for a drug of abuse.
Rowell, who is currently on the roster of short-season Single-A Aberdeen IronBirds of the New York-Penn League, will be effective on June 18th.
The Orioles were attempting to convert Rowell into a pitcher at extended spring training after drafting him as a third baseman in 2006. Rowell was the ninth-overall pick, taken one spot ahead of pitcher Tim Lincecum.
Rowell batted. 227 with 11 RBIs in 41 games at Double-A Bowie last summer after spending the three previous seasons at Single-A Frederick.
Rowell is the third Orioles minor leaguer since spring training to be suspended 50 games for a drug of abuse, joining catchers Brian Ward and Michael Olhman.

Rapha creates the finest cycling clothing and accessories in the world. Designed without compromise for the most discerning rider, Rapha products blend optimum performance, the finest fabrics and modern style.
A passion for road racing means Rapha is more than just a product company. It is an online emporium of performance roadwear, accessories, publications and events, all celebrating the glory and suffering of road riding.
Our Inspiration
Rapha was created to celebrate road riding and develop the best performing and most stylish cycling clothes and accessories in the world.
The first Rapha collection was launched in July 2004, at a month-long Rapha exhibition of cycling memorabilia and events called 'Kings of Pain'. With just a handful of products, Rapha has gone from offering a jersey, jacket and cap to organising rides, races and events, making films, books and sponsoring three professional teams. In 2013 Rapha became official clothing sponsor to the world's number one racing team, Team Sky Pro Cycling.
The brand is synonymous with the highest levels of quality, style and performance. Road racing is the toughest and most beautiful sport in the world and everything Rapha does is designed to honour that.
Celebrating the sport
Everything Rapha does is informed by its passion for the glory and suffering that lie at the heart of the sport. From rides to events, from exhibitions to products, Rapha brings riders together to share this passion. We know that every ride can be an adventure, its own epic story. The compelling features and striking photography on the Rapha website help reaffirm the relationship our customers have with the sport they love.
The Rapha Continental
The Rapha Continental began in the US in 2007 as an antidote to the clinical aspects of road racing. It was conceived as a more creative expression of road riding, with the belief that you don't need to pin a race number on to experience the pleasure that comes from tough rides. From the start, the Continental has been about exploring the road less travelled, discovering those things you only find out on the open road with your fellow riders. It's about that sense of camaraderie that comes from sharing the effort and the adventure of meeting new places and people along the way.
In documenting their experiences the riders of the Continental created an inspiring online journal of films, photography, ride maps and cue sheets. Six years later, the Rapha Continental has become a global journey, with rides now being documented in the UK, Japan, Australia, Europe and southeast Asia.

Prints & Publications
To showcase all aspects of the rider's art Rapha publishes its own range of books and brochures. Rouleur, the finest cycling publication in the world, was established by Rapha as a channel for a new kind of reportage on the people, history and culture of the sport. Additionally, the Great Road Climbs series offers in depth guides to Europe's classic road riding landscapes, with volumes covering the Pyrenees and the Alps in France, Italy and Spain. Rapha also offers limited edition photographic prints and posters from photo-shoots in some of the world's greatest riding locations.
Team Sky
Founded by Sir Dave Brailsford in 2010, the objective of Team Sky was not only to become the first British team to win the Tour de France but also to approach the sport with the most cutting edge methods to ensure the best possible performances and a leading ethic. Having delivered Bradley Wiggins to Tour de France victory in 2012, the Team joined forces with Rapha at the beginning of the 2013 campaign. Rapha now supplies all apparel and accessories to the team and its performance staff, as well as creating products for supporters of Team Sky, the world's leading road racing team.
Rapha brings road racing fans closer to the sport at the elite level. In 2007, Rapha Condor established the Smithfield Nocturne, an evening criterium and festival of cycling held every year around the historic Smithfield Market in central London. In 2010 Rapha North America began the Gentlemen's Races and Rides series, amateur team events pitching riders against the clock and gradient on both coasts. In 2011 the UK saw the first Super-Cross series, a new kind of cyclocross event with an emphasis on entertainment and fun. In 2012 this event was held in Japan and Australia. There are also other rides in between including the Women's Prestige in the states and Gentlemen's rides and races in Europe, Australia, southeast Asia and Japan.

DBA is an abbreviation for "doing business as." If you're a sole proprietorship, you need a DBA to register your business name. Corporations and LLCs need a DBA if they use a different name than what's filed with the state.

Yes. Some states use the term FBN (or Fictitious Business Name), while other states use the term DBA (or Doing Business As). Tradename and assumed business name are also used to refer to a DBA.
You should not be conducting business under your fictitious business name until you have filed a DBA statement. In addition, most banks will not allow you to open a business bank account until they see proof of the filed DBA.
When you are doing business under a company name, you need a company bank account to accept payments. Banks typically restrict cashing company checks with your personal account.
Every bank is different. Most banks have policies regarding DBA statements. If you experience a bank employee who will not accept your DBA statement, you may want to try a different branch or bank. Make sure to keep the original copy for your records in case you need it for future transactions.
DBA filings are only required if you are operating a sole proprietorship or partnership under a name other than your personal legal name or last name. For example, If your name is John Smith and you are a sole proprietorship, you would not need to file a DBA to legally be called "Smith's Plumbing" since that business name consists of your surname in combination with words that accurately describe the business. However, if your name is John Smith and you are operating a plumbing business as "Superior Plumbing Services," you would need to file a DBA to conduct business.

This British film represents the farewell of author/director Derek Jarman who died of AIDS in March 1994. It is considered to be the companion piece to Jarman's film Blue. Without a traditional plot, the film chronicles Jarman's life before AIDS with a series of free-flowing images gleaned from over 15 hours of Jarman's home movies taken between the years 1970-1985. London provides the central image, but other places seen include Italy, Spain, and rural England. The glittering parties filled with drag queens, drugs, and interesting people before the onset of AIDS are also chronicled.~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Sportful Max Sock £10.00
Good summer-weight socks that are comfortable and breathe well
Weight 45g Contact www.c3products.com
Previous Review
Next Review
These Sportful Max Socks are good summer-weight socks that help keep your feet sweat-free in the warmer weather.
They're made from a mixture of Coolmax, nylon, Lycra and elastane and they're very stretchy for a close fit without wrinkles.
These aren't as light as some summer socks but the top of the foot section is a mesh weave that lets in quite a bit of cool air if you have ventilated shoe uppers. Plus, the Coolmax certainly does work to move moisture away from your feet quickly, and it dries very fast.
The sole, the heel and the toe sections are thicker for a bit of comfort while the tops are ribbed and so stay in place well. The cuff section is 9cm high. That means these are a little longer than classic cycling ankle socks but nowhere near the mid-calf Euro-style socks that are everywhere at the moment.
They're standing up well to repeated use. I've had this pair for several weeks so they've been through the washing machine lots of times and there's no bobbling. None of the red dye has run into the white sections either. They look pretty good considering the amount of use they've had.
As well as this red/white version, black/white and orange/white models are available.
Good summer-weight socks that are comfortable and breathe well.

Works for most, but be cautious if you are an SPS junkie and/or looking to run an ultra low nutrient setup, as this checker has a margin of error of up to +/- .04The actual piece of equipment is great, however the reagent is a different story. The packets aren't really user friendly and only six packets come with your order. Very Simple to Use By Tim on 2/15/2014 Tim would recommend this product to a friend I can't really say much else. This just works. I should have purchased additional reagents. decent By shane on 2/13/2014 shane would recommend this product to a friend does the job, may have fluctuations in readings. Only comes with three reagent packs. Great, but buy more regent right away By Mtthbrook on 2/9/2014 Mtthbrook would recommend this product to a friend Product works great and is easy to use but your going to need more reagent than they include so you may as we'll order the 25 pack from brs at the same time Exellent By Arnaudys on 2/6/2014 Arnaudys would recommend this product to a friend This is the first time that I own one of this test kit, I`m so happy that I bought Hanna Checker. After testing with and seen the results I went ahead and order the Alk and Cal. I would encourage serious reefer in the hobby to get one of this. Price wise, little big expensive but well worth it. Over all awesome test kit, well don by Hanna checker. I only wish they had a test kit for Mg as well... Reefers out there with phosphate problems don`t waste time and money in guessing what the result is, you might have a lot of money and time invested your tank, you need to make sure and not guess. The design needs improvement By John on 2/1/2014 John would recommend this product to a friend For context, I am relatively new to the hobby and cannot compare this checker to the alternatives - either for ease of use or accuracy. What I will comment on are the two weaknesses raised by others: the very short timeout, and the reagent packets. The unit will timeout too quickly between the two measurements. In measuring two water samples, I had to redo one because I took a little too long before returning the sample w/the reagent. This seems excessive. Another reviewer has suggested using one bottle for the plan sample and the other for a sample + reagent so you don't have to wait - I shall definitely try this. On to the reagent packets: Other test kits I have used contain small bottles of reagent + a measuring spoon. If the thought behind the packets is to avoid inaccuracy due to the amount of reagent scooped out with a measuring spoon, I can't believe the packets are much better - by the time one has completely opened the packet to see if any is lurking in a corner, any extra might be spilled or you suffer from the timeout. There is a video on the manufacturer's website (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e_EOWAkLTc#t=26) which shows a different way of opening the packets (cut on two adjacent sides, rather than just along the top as indicated on the packets themselves). I have yet to try their method, but it may help. Finally, I second the suggestion that you should order more reagent packets when ordering the checker. It comes with 8 packets, which will not likely translate into running 8 complete tests. Simple to Use By Todd on 1/26/2014 Todd would recommend this product to a friend For those looking to get an accurate reading this checker is extremely easy to use as well as accurate. For those who are keeping SPS this is a must have. No more color charts By Mario on 1/23/2014 Mario would recommend this product to a friend Works great. Wish there was a liquid reagent, but had no problems using this right out of the box. Easy to use and well made By chris on 1/15/2014 chris would recommend this product to a friend I really like the Hanna Checker. It is very easy to perform the tests. I still wish it was a little more accurate. The instructions say to expect a +/- .04 result variance. When you are trying to maintain as close to 0 as possible it seems kind of useless if your results can be between 0- .04. Great tester By Matt on 1/14/2014 Matt would recommend this product to a friend Yes, there are some complaints about this test. If you take your time and have a little patience it will work out fine. The results are well worth a little learning, you get a digital readout with the numbers instead of trying to match up the color to a chart which may or may not match. You will want to order the refill packets as well, you will need them anyways. A great piece of gear. The good, the bad and the ugly By David on 12/16/2013 David would recommend this product to a friend The good news is the Hanna Checker is nicely packaged and easy to use. The bad is that I have to repeat the test because I keep getting error messages. The ugly part is that they don't provide enough of the test powder packets and they are difficult to open. I may be getting inconsistent results because I am getting differing amounts of test powder in the test vials. Buy a refill right off the bat. Fill one vial with a clean water sample and another with the powered or the checked can time out on you. Good tool but fell a bit short on execution. No way I am going back to another tester. Needs more reagent and better packaging By Jaculus on 12/11/2013 Jaculus would recommend this product to a friend My first non-5 Star rating here. Like others have said the packet is a PITA! Really its ridiculous to expect us to use those packets. I know they have the video that shows how to use the packets and the tricks,, why not just ship it differently. Also as many have said, shipping this with only 6 packets is a JOKE. Otherwise, the system works far FAR better than any other method especially trying to read those color shades. Buy this if you have phosphate issues you need to watch closely BUT expect to watch the special video on how to deal with the reagent packets and for sure you will need to buy the refill packets with your initial purchase to avoid extra shipping charges when you realize they only ship 6 of the packets with the product.

Pre-school story time is meant for children ages 3-5 who have had more experience in a group setting. They may be more likely to interact with the storyteller. The parent may stay with their child or if the child feels comfortable, the parent may take that time to browse for books.
This story time session is meant to last 30-45 minutes. The librarian may use more than 2 books, and ask and expect more conversation from the children. A short film (less than 10 minutes) will be shown, as well. The child will make a craft and should be able to work more independently to finish it. Please remember that all children are unique and develop at their own pace.

I love the skins. They are beautiful, easy to apply, and stay put even with use rough enough to peel an ordinary skin loose. The wallpaper to match is an added bonus, too. I have one on my phone, tablet and laptop.

Stanford University Jan.1/2000 Rose Bowl Football
I have a football with Stanford University Jan.1/2000 Rose Bowl Pasadena, Ca. on it.
It also has different states and numbers on both sides.
It has a few stamps on the back as well.
Would anyone know the value on this football?
It is in perfect condition other then a few scuffs here and there on it.
Thank you in advance.

It might be a Rosebowl Commemorative football , a type sold to raise funds for various charities. Without any documentation or provenance or images it's impossible to tell much more than that.

Yep. Dead Man Walking. They'll make him their bitch real quick.
People like that go to prison aren't heard of again.
If he is guilty of the crime, he should serve the time... I have no feelings to what happens to people who preform this crime.
They always say they didn't do it until the trial is complete. (Sad Case)
He sent lewd photos a couple of times in 2010 and attempted to initiate phone sex with an undercover agent.... and he got 30 years! Most murder convictions are from 8 to 25, rape will get you up to 25, aggravated assault 3 to 5.... and this guy gets 30 years for sending a couple of photos and trying to initiate PHONE sex? Sorry, but I feel this is too severe a punishment for the crime charged.
I think the problem here is that murderers dont get enough time.
Murderers get more than enough time - decades of appeals. Send them all to Texas where they know what to do with them! As for Hedrick, he must have really pissed off somebody to get 30 years for a little porn.
Wow. You knew better, now you can join your kind.
Guilty as charged. Probably went too trial and found guilty for the crime and the Judge cited aggravating circumstances to give him more time for lying.

I got this paddle from a friend after breaking mine creeking in Chattanooga, TN and love it. It is a lot more worn in than mine was but doesn't affect the control at all. After all the use with this used on I'm for sure getting a new one, which can only assume it will have even more pull than the three year old one I've been using.

Dr. Dyson, a senior scientist at the Center for Cancer Research, has made breakthroughs in our understanding of the way cells divide, whether it is the regulated division of a normal cell or the abnormal proliferation of a malignant cancer.
Nicholas Dyson, PhD, honored as part of the one hundred
Nicholas Dyson, PhD -- being honored this year as part of the one hundred -- explains what it means to be a part of the Cancer Center.
Nicholas (Nick) Dyson, PhDProfessor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Geneticist at Mass General, and a member of the Center for Cancer Research
Time at Mass General: 20 years
What influenced your decision to work in cancer research? I hoped that somehow, someday, my work would make a difference to the life of a cancer patient.
What drew you to the Mass General Cancer Center? I came to the Cancer Center to be able to continue working with my mentor, Ed Harlow, on the functions of retinoblastoma tumor suppressor. What better place could there be to study the functions of a key tumor suppressor than the Center for Cancer Research of a world-leading hospital?
What is your favorite part of working here? I really enjoy the people here. My colleagues at the Cancer Center are a wonderful group of people. Research is fun when you can work every day with people who are excited about science, supportive and keen to collaborate.
Do you have any advice for those dealing with cancer or their caregivers/loved ones?
Over the years I've met a lot of clever people. But the person who taught me most about living was my sister, Sue, during her battle with breast cancer, a long fight that she eventually lost. Sue taught me about the power of love, and the impact that we have on the lives of the people around us. Never underestimate the difference that one person can make.

WOOLWICH, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The principal of the Woolwich Central School had a really bad hair day Wenesday...
Tom Soule allowed 7th grader Morgan Theriault and her mom to dye his hair purple because she motivated the school to raise more than $7,500 to fight juvenile diabetes.
Morgan has been living with type one diabetes since she was 4 years old, and this year, she asked if she could organize a walk at the school to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Her goal was $5,000, and Soule agreed that if she reached it, she'd let him dye his hair the day of the walk.
Soule said, "She is tenacious. She is a champion of her cause. She gets up every morning and faces this every day, and you have to respect that."
The school is hoping to make this diabetes walk a yearly event.

Corvallis leads country in bicycle commuting
CORVALLIS, Ore. - The City of Corvallis has pedaled its way to the top biking city in America, according to a release from the U. S. Census.
A huge number of those cyclists are students and faculty at Oregon State University, where demand for bike parking raced ahead of existing facilities last yar.
And the university is pedaling as fast as it can to keep up with demand for places to park a bike and lock it on the Oregon State campus.
According to OSU, 20 to 30 percent of their students are commuting by bike to work. Ten to 20 percent of faculty and staff share the same mode of transportation.
"I actually commute on my bike every day to school," Tucker Doyle said, a junior at OSU.
The bike commuter said as more of his fellow classmates start biking to school, it becomes difficult for students to find a parking spot.
"It was hard to find a spot where there's traffic around Dixon's," said Doyle.
But this week, Doyle said he had no trouble.
"Now they've got bike racks in pretty much every area of campus, and that's really nice," Doyle said.
OSU recently put five new bike installations at different areas around campus.
"Each one of these covered installations will hold 48 bikes," said Rainier Farmer, Chair of OSU's Alternative Transportation Committee. "There's 24 hoops, and you park on each side of the hoop."
In a survey in 2008, only 75 percent of the bike racks on the OSU campus were utilized.
In 2010, 100 percent of those bike racks were utilized.
"All the racks were full and people were parking on side posts and trees, anything they could find," Farmer said.
Farmer said as enrollment increases, the university anticipates installing at least 100 more bike racks in the near future.
"Our challenge is to kind of stay ahead of the curve and make sure that we have enough facilities," Farmer said.
The recent release from the U. S. Census Bureau also ranks Corvallis as the second best city to walk to work.

New York Rangers
vs. New Jersey Devils
Saturday, 12:30
Madison Square
Rangers Record: 43-33-5
Devils Record: 37-38-5
It's do or die for the Rangers tomorrow, when they take on
the Devils at home in an afternoon matinee. It is the last regular season game
for the Rangers, who can clinch a playoff spot with a win. The Devils, though
not fighting for playoff position, still have enough at stake; they can salvage
a .500 winning percentage this season with one more win of their two remaining
On Thursday, the Rangers squandered an opportunity to shore
up their playoff position with a loss against eleventh-place Atlanta. The
Rangers, missing injured forward Ryan Callahan mightily, did not manage to
score any goals against the Thrashers. Additionally, they were forced to play
defenseman Matt Gilroy as a forward on the fourth line, exemplifying the team's
immense struggles with injury this season.
In response to Callahan's injury, the Rangers today recalled
forward Mats Zuccarello from the Connecticut Whale. The Rangers continue to
suffer from injuries to forwards Derek Boogaard, Chris Drury and Alex Frolov,
none of whom are expected to return for this last regular-season game.
It will be up to the Rangers' day-to-day grinders—players
like Brian Boyle, Brandon Dubinsky and Stephen McDonald Extra Effort
Award-Winner Brandon Prust—to lead the team in the absence of Callahan and
Drury, in particular. It will be up to superstars Marian Gaborik and Henrik
Lundqvist to show, by example, how this team needs to play to win. In short, it
is going to take an entire team effort to get this victory against a
revitalized and dangerous Devils team who would like nothing better than to
spoil the Rangers' playoff hopes.
It's time to prove what this team is really made of.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
After many of us, including me, wrote about our frustration with the vandalism at the DinoMine park, I heard some feed back that this was just another attack on our teenage kids.
I know I didn't write mine to attack young people; I have no clue who did the damage. I have actually heard some third-hand info that it might have been a couple of 10 year olds.
I know that whoever has done it, it does not represent any particular group, but reflects solely on the actions of the individuals involved. Just because it happened at the DinoMine park also doesn't make it any worse than other vandalism that occurs in our community.
But I can understand the frustration of some of our teens that they are treated like second class citizens sometimes. Many of us idyllically look to the past where the teen hang out was the malt shop and the high school sock hops. It was probably more like "American Graffiti" where they gathered in clicks on the hometown streets at night and engaged in sometimes questionable behaviors.
In the 70's back in the Midwest, dragging main and hanging with your friends was the coolest thing you could do at night. We also had a teen club called the Spider Web that had bands, dancing and socializing. The rules were few, but smoking, drugs and drinking were prohibited. The police checked on things often and the community kept a wary eye on the activities, but it remained a teen gathering spot.
Teens need that kind of place to gather. It is a time in their lives where they are separating from the ties that have governed them. They need to test out their moral compasses and by the time they are 16, you have either given them what they need to chose the right course or not.
If we don't provide these places here in our community, they will find their own spots. The hills above Price are the perfect examples of that. Kids will sometimes feel obligated to try things they would not normally do because of the need to feel like they fit into the crowd.
By having spots in the community that our teens feel like they can gather and just hang out, we give the kids some safe places to do what teens like to do. Many worry if you leave teens to just hang, the behaviors they will engage in or be exposed to will be bad or illegal.
For some, groups of kids hanging out and playing music too loud makes them nervous. For others it may be irritating as their own neighborhood peace and quiet is disrupted. Businesses fear that kids hanging out on their property drive away customers and litter their property.
These are valid reasons to help find a suitable place for our teens to hang. Keep the school dances and activities. Stress the sports, church activities, volunteer opportunities, and club functions. Those are all great in shaping our youth's moral compasses and characters.
It may also be time to have a teen center in our community. It could be equipped with pool and foosball tables, along with a place to hold dances or play music. Far enough away from residential homes, but close enough for adequate supervision. It needs a large parking lot with lighting to keep kids safe, but also to function as another gathering spot. I would even propose some graffiti rocks to let the kids express themselves.
I think we have a great group of kids here in our community. From the kids who excel in sports and academics to the ones who are struggling to overcome great odds just to survive.
They are all our future and we need to be there for all of them.
