Once again, a public service announcment:
Whilst riding about in Copenhagen, please try to match your bike with your clothes, or vice versa, wherever possible.
Thank you.
The bike in the photo is one of many Danish cargo bikes brands. In this case, a Christiania bike. Popular around Scandinavia and Northern Europe.
Lately I'm often reading on blogs about Bakfiets - the Dutch cargo bike - because they have recently gotten a foothold in America. Indeed, it seems that most of the Americans who write about them seem to think that Bakfiets is the only cargo bike in the world, merely because it's the first cargo bike they've seen and they have no history of cargo bikes.
While the Dutch have a long history of bike design - with some cool makes - and are the only real rivals to the Danish bike design tradition, it is only fair to provide a broader perspective regarding the cargo bike market in Europe.
This post from Streetsblog has some good photos of Danish cargo bikes in Copenhagen, as does this post of our own.
If I had to choose a cargo bike it would have to be the Nihola. Award-winning design, roomy and lightweight. For me, it's the best option for cargo biking in the World's Best Cycling City.

It sounds like you've found my photo blog about my new van Andel bakfiets.
The Nihola does look nice. How much does it weigh? Can it fit through a standard doorway?
Another cargo bike worth a mention is the XtraCycle.
With the base weight only adding about 6 to 8 pounds to the bicycle, it strikes me as well suited for a number of American commuters, where things are generally more spread out, so commuting distances are longer.

Thanks for the comment, Mark. Nice site you have. Although I prefer the Danish varities, the van Andel is groovy.
The Nihola is lightweight, but I don't have the stats. Their website should have it at http://nihola.info
Although regarding longer commuting distances in the States I have to include this quote from Carfreeworld's website (http://www.carsareevil.com/2007/09/dutch_masters.html#more)
"Apologists like to cite the favorable conditions in Holland and Denmark – flat terrain, population density, compact towns – to explain resistance in the U.S. to cycling. However, given the short average distance of most U.S. trips, geography and topography are simply red herrings. Not only do we trail the Dutch, and other European countries, on the tangible attributes, like favorable biking policy and infrastructure, but we lack the cultural traits conducive to making a wholesale switch away from car use."

wonderful photos...
I saw a man with a U-lock with a bright orange accent
he has the same color accenting his hat and his shoes
I had the camera
but missed the shot
I thought to myself
it is so much easier having an all black u-lock
it matches more
I have more black

nihola are not big on export by all accounts. they are busy enough producing their bikes and a few bike shops in North america have told me that it's impossible to get in touch with them.

MORRISTOWN - The fourth annual free community Thanksgiving Day dinner is gearing up to be the largest yet as volunteers prepare to prep the meal and decorate the Morristown Fire Hall.
Peter A. Paquette, one of the dinners organizers, said that he hopes to see as many people from the community as possible.
The meal is not a charity dinner, he said, but a place for everyone to celebrate Thanksgiving together.
To ensure people are able to go, volunteers will be offering rides to the dinner, which will begin at 1 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day after a social hour at noon.
Call 375-8211 or 375-4442 to schedule a ride.
Mary M. Paquette, who also helped organize the meal, said no one needs to make reservations to attend the dinner.
Were going to have plenty, Mr. Paquette said.
As of Friday afternoon, 29 turkeys had been donated for the dinner – two more than last years haul.
Sponsored by the Morristown Volunteer Fire Department, the meal served roughly 200 people last year, Mrs. Paquette said.
David J. Murray, another volunteer working to help prepare for the meal, said the turnout has been increasing each year.
Volunteers will show up to the fire hall on Tuesday to debone the turkeys and again on Wednesday to prepare the meal.
Students with the Morristown Central School Honor Society will also help set up the fire hall and decorate for Thanksgiving.
In addition to providing a fun, free community event, the meal also provides a place for attendees to give back.
Mr. Paquette said guests are welcome to bring nonperishable food items to support the Hammond Food Pantry, which serves the Morristown area.

Why Did My Cat's Vet Refer Me to Another Doctor?
Your primary care veterinarian may refer you to a specialist—such as a veterinary surgeon, dermatologist, oncologist or cardiologist—if your pet's condition requires specific expertise. In this case, it's very important to facilitate clear communication between your primary vet and the specialist.
All parties should agree on the best outcome for your cat, but if the referral veterinarian offers you a new treatment option, don't hesitate to discuss it with your primary care doctor before proceeding.
What Questions Should I Ask My Primary Vet If He or She Refers Me to a Specialist?
- What is my cat's diagnosis?
- What is her prognosis?
- What tests have you performed?
- What treatments have you tried?
- Why are you referring me to a specialist?
- What treatment options can I expect from this new veterinarian?
What Questions Should I Ask the Specialist?
First and foremost, be sure the specialist you see has a copy of all of your cat's records. Discuss any pre-existing conditions and medications, and explain why your vet referred you, so there is no confusion as to what you hope to accomplish.
It's also important to ask the referral vet exactly what she intends to do, what the various benefits, risks and costs are, and who—the specialist or the primary vet—will handle follow-up care.
Will the Specialist Communicate With My Primary Care Vet?
Don't hesitate to ask the referral vet to call your primary vet if you aren't clear on a procedure and want to have a discussion with your primary vet, or contact your primary vet directly.
Above all, don't be afraid to ask questions. If something doesn't feel right or you're confused about your options, please speak up! This way, you won't have any later regrets and will know you've made the most informed decision possible for your pet.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Editor's Note: This is one of a series of articles about the history of the Sun Advocate and the county it covers as a newspaper. These articles are being prepared in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of the newspaper's birth in 1891.
While the beginning of 1949 was punctuated by a murder trial, the second half of the year was marked by labor disturbances, many of which were related to the first part of the year.
Generally the coal in industry was in a funk and a lot of men were cut back to part time mining. Labor leaders found that, in their estimation, companies were not honoring their contracts, so periodic and sometimes frequent work stoppages were happening not only in various mines but also in the industry as a whole.
While the lurch and surge of coal supplies dragged down the industry, things came to a head in the fall when violence began to appear on the sporadic picket lines that had been set up over labor troubles. A general walkout began in September. It started in Wyoming and Utah and eventually idled 480,000 miners across the country.
The walkout was termed "voluntary" because it was not ordered by labor leaders, according to the Sun Advocate on Sept. 19. "No contract, no work" was added, with many also saying "No pension, no work" as well.
Locally some non-union mines continued to operate.
Reports of violence on the picket lines, however, soon drew the attention of Governor J. Bracken Lee, who sent the superintendent of the Utah Highway Patrol, Joe Dudler, former Carbon County Sheriff out to investigate. On. Sept. 29 the Sun Advocate reported that Dudler said many of the reports of violence occurring were "exaggerated."
The reports had come from Emery County Sheriff Bryant Nelson who said at one point some picketers had tried to tip his car over until he showed them his badge.
"A number of strikers were intoxicated and a number of trucks and cars were run off the highways," the sheriff had reported to the governor. "One was tipped over."
But picketers denied the violence or that they had even tried to tip over the sheriff's car, when interviewed by the paper.
The disruption in work would go on for some time, stretching well into 1950, with labor disruptions constantly at hand.
In December, a particularly violent car truck crash between two miners driving home from a night shift and a truck driver, all of whom were from Cleveland, killed the two coming home from work. Charles Mortensen was driving into the morning sun, and apparently crossed the line and couldn't see the truck that was westbound on the Huntington Canyon highway. The collision was a head-on that turned both vehicles over. The driver of the truck got out of the wreckage, but collapsed at the side of the road. The photo that appeared in the Sun Advocate of the dismantled car was actually the first real accident photo ever printed in the paper and it won first place in the news photo division of the Utah Press Association photography contest that year. It also garnered some runner up national attention for a news photo.
With all the grief, however, sometimes funny stories emerge from a year with so much serious news. That happened when Rudolph Tippets of Hiawatha decided he needed a ride home so he took a car from in front of the Price post office about 1:30 a.m. just before Christmas. He took the car while the person who was driving it was inside getting some mail. That person turned out to be Price Police Chief William Lines, who watched the tail lights of his car drive into dark south on Carbon Avenue.
Lines immediately called the department and somehow, someway, two Price officers just happened to be near the Hiawatha Junction at the time and intercepted the vehicle.
"In the absence of cash (bail was $150 but he didn't have it, so he was spending 30 days in jail) Mr. Tippetts is carrying out the alternative (jail) and is probably brooding during this season of good cheer, over his uncanny choice of vehicles to appropriate," stated the paper in its next-to-last issue of the year.

Dendronotus subramosus?
Not sure what your nudibranch is? Post it here for identification!
Moderator: Dave Behrens
4 posts • Page 1 of 1
I saw about 5-10 of these guys feeding on the Aglaophenia genus (feather hydroid). In my mind it's clearly a different species than the other Dendronotus that we see on kelp.
Right now I'll call them Dendronotus subramosus.
I'll look for them again this weekend! I found them quite close to where I live.
btw, here's the top view, showing the 4 lines described in Dave's book

Nicely photographed, Sko-T. Hopefully, Dave will confirm the ID, after he gets his legs under him (just returned from a major trip to China).
BTW, on the same dive, I photographed what may be Diaphorodoris lirulatocauda (pg. 58, "Eastern Pacific Nudibranchs"). Image attached.
Cheers, K:-)

Dave took a look at both nudies and confirmed the IDs are accurate. Thanks, Dave. Congrats Sko-T on two new nudies!

Great finds among the fields of various hydroids and bryozoans! Woohoo!

There is an upside to Kentucky's budget crunch: It forces everyone from legislators to agency heads to school superintendents to get the most out of every taxpayer buck.
Lean budget times also can produce shining – and refreshing – examples of how some public servants refuse to make excuses and simply succeed with the resources available.

Dr. Elaine R. Gecht's Ratings
Horrible. Incompetent and lazy. Wanted to give my mother comfort care (=let her die) when my mother's blood pressure dropped, because she was too lazy to run urine and blood tests that would have revealed an easily treated urinary tract infection. After I sent my mother to the ER and she recovered, Dr. Gecht screamed at me that it was "cruel" to keep sending my mother to the ER since she would only be going back in a couple of weeks, and she said she had the legal power to override my wishes and let my mother die if she deemed treatment to be "medically futile." I immediately transferred my mom to the care of a different doctor, in whose caring hands she lived another two years. Moreover, Dr. Gecht was lying about overriding my wishes. The term "medically futile" applies to patients who would die within a few minutes, even with intervention, not to a person who has an udiagnosed UTI that is easily treatable - if the doctor isn't too lazy to do her job and diagnose the problem.

Guess who's back?
Hello, everyone! It's me, Mrs. Quilt Dad. This past week I've been on Spring Break from teaching. It's been absolutely wonderful having a full week off, and I even convinced John to take a few days off from work, too! I also took this opportunity to get back on the sewing machine and do something to take my mind off of life's everyday tasks.

I love that bag! I've been so tempted by the Birdie Sling pattern but I've had the same problem picking out fabrics for it. I've never made a bag so I'm a little intimidated by it. Did you use the pellon or fleece interfacing? How did that work? Thanks for sharing it. It looks great!ReplyDelete
Great bag Mrs. QD! You are so lucky to have a hubby that enjoys quilting and sewing. I could only wish my DH wanted to take me to the fabric stores all the time!ReplyDelete
Totally cute! I made one too, and was also surprised by how much time it took! Do you like the handle? I didn't think I'd like it, so I changed it and went with something different, but I am thinking I might do the handle the next time. Please let me know how you like it! ~ JennieReplyDelete
Excellent job Mrs.Qd.. now I'm sure Mr.Qd is saying.. "step away from my sewing machine and don't touch any of my yummy fabrics"!ReplyDelete
hee hee hee.. What a perfect way to spend the week off, sewing!
Love it and enjoy the weekend.
oh, i love the bag!!! i'm so glad to hear that Mrs. QD got a turn at the sewing machine. :)ReplyDelete
i love the ab floral pattern. i just ordered some, thanks to Mr. QD's post on st. patty's day!! i was so tickled to get it at only $1.25 a fq. :)
can't wait to see what MR. QD is working on. :)
well hey mrs. quilt dad.ReplyDelete
it's twilight day!!!
nice amy butler bag!!!
and john: glad you got that mojo back!!!
Great bag Mrs. Quilt Dad! I love it. I've made a few of these and they are really great everyday bags if you're like me and tote around a lot of stuff!ReplyDelete
That kid of your is just so darn cute! Love the fabric.ReplyDelete
John, it's great you have your mojo back! Mine came back last week. Off to quilt.
Hi Mrs. Quilt Dad - that's a cute bag - are you going to make one for yourself?ReplyDelete
Beautiful bag! I'm glad you were able to squeeze in some sewing bag. I was hoping to make (or at least start) one of the birdie slings this weekend but it sounds like it's something that might be a two weekend project?ReplyDelete
Great bag, you have a lucky friend! And you sure have a cute model for it!ReplyDelete
I love that bag! It's so adorable!! I think I would have a hard time parting with it, but I always think the best gifts are the ones that are that way. :)ReplyDelete

Great bag! It was great to meet you the other day. I plan to spend tomorrow sewing and can't wait. Thanks again...CathyReplyDelete
Love that bag! So glad you are making one for yourself too - so fun to carry something you've made yourself :)ReplyDelete
Wow, awesome bag Mrs QD. I love the colours you've used, and the pattern too.ReplyDelete
I got some fabric sent to me (way down in NZ) from Wish Upon a Quilt. I'm so jealous that you are so close. The service I had from them was excellent :-)
The colors in that line are Springy for sure. I have one of her bags cut out, but now it seems so Wintery.ReplyDelete
this bag is so adorable! I love the fabric that you used for this. I've been eyeing this pattern for a whileReplyDelete
I love that "John HAD to pick up something at the quilt shop." *L* He's a true quilter now.ReplyDelete
Kids are growing up, aren't they?
You really can't go wrong with Amy Butler and bag patterns/fabrics. Have a great vacation. (or is it over by now?)
Thanks for all the nice comments! My friend seemed to really love it when I gave it to her yesterday. I'm going to make the same bag, same fabrics - but, in blue - for myself.ReplyDelete
To respond to Chris - I did use the recommended Pellon interfacing and fusible fleece and it worked really well. Very easy to use....although I will say that I ditched the pressing cloth.
And, to answer Jennie's question - I did do the handle as per the pattern. I actually really liked it. It was very easy - although I almost forgot to tape the handle pattern pieces together before cutting the fabric. So, watch that! Plus, I was tired of making handles by pressing and folding, pressing and folding to the center, etc. This handle has a great shape, durability and was super easy.
Thanks again for all the encouragement!
~ Mrs. Quilt Dad ~
Hello again, Mrs Quilt Dad - good to have you back, and with such a beautiful bag too (that little helper of yours is a cutie, isn't she?!)ReplyDelete
Wow, that's the prettiest bag i've ever seen! Good job MQD.ReplyDelete
What a beautiful gift! How nice it is to have a week off and to have a little time to sew.ReplyDelete
I was SO sad to read your post one day too late to get in on the Quilting Arts sale. BOOO! But, I signed up on their email list so I won't miss that one again.
Beautiful bag, love your fabric choices. This is the first time I've seen the pattern you used, it's unique. Hope you find time to make yourself a bag too.ReplyDelete
I just bought the same pattern and can't wait to get it made. Love your choice of pink and orange-one of my favorite combos;) Good to hear that you had a fun and productive few days off;)ReplyDelete
the colors you used are so pretty! it looks greatReplyDelete
Beautiful Bag...you've done a great job!ReplyDelete
Your bag is lovely.ReplyDelete
can i tell you how cool it is that you have a husband who has a fabric stash??? but, i'm sure that you know this already. :)ReplyDelete
you certainly picked perfect fabrics for the bag. your friend will be over the moon with it, i'll bet.
I have to say that if anyone will inspire you to sew it's Amy Butler. Her stuff makes me smile. Every time!! Love the bag!ReplyDelete
This is such a great bag! I'm sure your friend will love it. So glad you were able to get some time on the machine!ReplyDelete

Did they give a legit reason for charging fees for something like that in the first place? I know it's illegal to have expiration dates on gift cards in many states now, but I wonder what's line the stores use when explaining that they aren't going to honor money spent.
Kmart settles: refunds gift-card fees
CNNMoney.com has announced that Kmart has finally reached a settlement in the gift-card lawsuit. And that could be very good news for you if you had a gift-card issued between May 1st 2004 and the present day.
Why the refund? Well, since 2003 Kmart failed to disclose sufficiently the $2.10 per month dormancy fee that would be charged RETROACTIVELY after 24 months. Basically, your entire gift card could be wiped out if you tried to use it for the first time after 24 months and it was worth about $50 or less.
If you believe you qualify for a refund, you will need to provide the gift card number(s) in question, along with contact information. Kmart will be putting up info about the refund program on its main website soon.
If you have any questions or concerns about the refund program, you can contact the FTC's Consumer Hotline (202-326-3569).

We agree with those who say that of all things funded by the state and local governments, education is at the top of the list.There is little else more important than our children and helping to prepare them for the future. Boosting teacher pay is one way to work toward this end.But it is not the only way – as many like to say.More and more teacher pay in New Mexico has gone up and up. And more and more the performance of our students has gone down and down.Internationally, we are falling behind many countries in the production of an educated, literate society. This trend has to end.A couple of things that could help are to hold teachers accountable for their work and keep them in the classroom more.If you are a parent who throws up your arms in disbelief because it seems like your child is out of school more often than in school due to teacher in-service training days, relief could be on the way.Sen. Mark Boitano is introducing a bill in the current legislative session that would require professional development days to be taken outside of the students' school year so they can have class time for the entire 180 days of instruction as required by law.Now, those days when there is no school and students are home, count.

They are considered the engine that makes the Greater Ogdensburg Chamber of Commerce run.
Without them, no ideas, no volunteers and no experience.
And no commitment to organizing popular events ranging from low-maintenance fare like an Easter egg hunt to the large-scale North Country Wine, Beer and Food Festival.
They are the Chambers 19 standing committees, made up of 25 members of the organizations board of directors. With the new year soon to begin, a new roster of committee assignments is also coming.
Assignments will be made in December once we have our new board members and we have the opportunity to explain each committee, said Chamber President Lori A. Smithers.
Each director is asked to sit on at least two committees.
One committee was created this fall to guide the successful launch of the Ogtoberfest food, beer, music and childrens games festival in the Greenbelt on Oct. 6. Chamber officials have already identified that as an event on the rise and the 2013 committee roster will reflect that ascendancy.
Weve already added the Ogtoberfest Committee this year, and I am sure we will see an increase in the number of volunteers on the committee next year, Mrs. Smithers said.
The creation of new committees in 2013 is a possibility, but there are no plans to eliminate any.
Well see what happens at the (next board) meeting as far as adding new committees, Mrs. Smithers said. At this point, I dont see us dropping any of the committees. We made a few changes a few years ago. We will likely add a committee or expand an existing one to work with the BASS (fishing) tournament folks. I believe it will be a true collaboration among many communities to have a successful tournament.
The Chambers new directors are: Kim Demers of Kimros Medicine Place; Michael Thayer of St. Lawrence Federal Credit Union; Derek R. Van House of the accounting firm Pinto-Mucenski-Hooper-VanHouse & Co.; and Joseph Metz of Parkway Stores, Ogdensburg.
The chamber committees are: Bylaws, Personnel and Finance, Annual Dinner, Ford Street Revitalization, Nominating, Travel Guide/Tourism, Membership, Ogtoberfest, Kids Events, River Shiver/Winter Festival, Car-B-Q Auto Show, Sportsmans Show, Holiday Lighting Contest, Chamber Web Site, New York State Bass Tournament, Fort La Presentation/Golf Tourney, Chamber Dollars, Concerts, Scavenger Hunt and Knights of Columbus fundraiser.

When it comes to office furniture, there are various choices to select from. Whether you require office furniture that is traditional or contemporary in design, there are unlimited selections to choose from. From desk, to desk chairs to wall units and computer desks, there are various and different styles that are available for your needs. And you can buy them online at online shopping sites like. Further, you can save a lot of money by buying these items at hugely discounted prices on penny auction sites. Some real people have posted Dealdash reviews video to share their experiences with this kind of shopping.
Australia is considered to be one of the few places in the globe where excellent and world class office furniture is manufactured. Office furniture has evolved and has changed a lot throughout the last few decades. Today, office furniture has become more streamlined in both approach and design. They are ergonomically designed, to be in contoured to a range of bodily dimensions and sizes. Today, having the right chairs and desks are simply essential for any new or existing commercial entity. According to furniture industry experts, an employee that is fully relaxed is really more efficient and productive when it comes to his work. This is the reason why most businesses in Australia put in a lot of investment on office furniture, to make sure that productivity will remain high among their employees.
We all know that an office is a place of work and being so, should be filled with office furniture that will encourage efficiency and productivity among the workers. Some of the basic office furniture that should be present in any office is the following.
When choosing office furniture, there a few things to needs to be considered. First, style should be seriously thought of such as whether it should be contemporary, French, traditional or any other specific design required by the business owner. This will allow the business owner to choose furniture pieces that will fit in with the overall theme of the office. Next always make sure that the furniture budget is maximized to the fullest so it is important to plan the kind of office furniture that would fit the company's financial resources. In today's modern design, office furniture need not match but keeping the overall theme in mind, you can find pieces that would complement each other. Also this office furniture should be comfortable enough to encourage efficiency and productivity within the rank and file employees. Generally, the items that provide functionality in an office are often divided into three categories namely office furniture, technology, and office supplies.
Re-furnishing an office or completely changing its furniture theme may be very costly for business owners. However, there are instances that such a move is necessary especially if it involves complementing the overall business goals and aims of the company. When there is a need for refurbishing or completely changing the furniture theme of the office there are a few things that needs to be seriously considered especially when you have commenced shopping for new office furniture. There are actually several measures that you can take to ensure that you are getting the best deal. By simply being careful and attentive one could save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by just shopping right way.
One of the best ways to save money when purchasing office furniture is to keep a close watch on furniture sales. Here's another dealdash reviews video by another real Dealdash.com customer who saves a lot by shopping on the site when they have sales. There are several times in a year specifically at the end of the financial year or before Christmas when most furniture dealers would come out with new models giving way for the old ones to be put on sale.
For some dealers an oversupply of stocks is also cause for them to come out with sales. Another good way to get a good price on office furniture is to ask the dealer how many of the furniture you like are on stock. If you find out that it's a large number, then you might be able to strike a deal with them just to get some of it out of the store. Also in contrast to this, if the business only requires one or two desks, ask the dealer what items he only has one or two left, he might be happy to sell their odds and ends (meaning leftover pieces) just to get rid of them.
Finally, remember to always negotiate to the maximum because believe or not most furniture distributors and dealers go as high as putting 50 to 100% mark-up on their stock so never feel that you are putting one over the dealer if you bargain for a 50% discount. Remember that the key to getting a good furniture bargain is a wide knowledge of what you are looking for and what really is its worth if you are not confident enough to do this on your own, it is best that you bring someone else with you who would have a better knowledge in shopping for office furniture.
Some homeowners find it very discouraging to buy expensive carpets, especially when the materials used are very prone to damage. However, undeniably, those costly carpets have the most wonderful designs with intricate details in weaving.

You could save a lot of money by not buying carpets repeatedly because you are able to clean and maintain their original looks and textures because you have the best Carpet Repair team of workers to do it for you. It would not be a waste of time and money hiring people to perform the cleaning, maintenance, and fixing procedures if you be assured that they are doing things right to keep your carpets useful.

If you want to sell a product you improve it you do not degrade the quality of it.
how about fixing the que bug that literally everyone has been asking to be fixed? I won't even bother complaining about the ****ty new voting system since I know that won't get changed
I only play pickups basically and never noticed this voting problem. I don't see why you can't just buy a pro subscription, start your own server, and play with friends on that if playing on public -free server free game - is such a freaking problem.
You buy a pro subscription, you add friends with subscription = you can play everything quakelive has to offer. On your spawned server location, your preferred gametype, even with your own rules, admin rights, gametype changing modifications.
If playing for free has some limits now, it's about bloody time. Either pay up or get out.
What a joke
All thats needed is hotkey function for ingame map voting for public servers for the maps that's currently voteable. Which partially already exist both in the game, since it does have graphic ui for voting maps etc. but also in several customized HUD's and or config setups.
Either ID could make this or someone with some greasemonkey experience could cough up a script with possibly fetching the current period's list of maps, thus avoiding the message that goes like "request map can only be played on premium servers".
It will happen, and if u cant wait, hey u can just get subscription, play games on quake, no stress attached.
I thought that this is the only game where there is no need to donate money(( FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Way to pour salt into an open wound guys. Great job.

When should your kids stay home sick from school?
EUGENE, Ore. – When your kids are sick, how do you determine whether or not to send them to school?
The question prompted a lot of discussion on the KVAL News Facebook page.
Fir Grove Elementary in Roseburg recently shut down after half the school came down with a mystery illness. 5 people at the school were later confirmed to have Norovirus.
Pediatrican Bruce Strimling with Oregon Medical Group said they're seeing Norovirus in Eugene right now and it spreads rapidly.
"In fact, that's how you know it's Norovirus, is because all 3 kids in the family are there and Mom is green over in the corner, not looking so good either. And if she's not green, she's going to be green tomorrow," Strimling said.
Tim Aarnes said, "I think if they're throwing up you shouldn't send them to school. I think that's a good sign that they're probably pretty sick."
He said it's hard for him to tell when his older daughter is really sick, or just faking it. "That's one of those things where you just have to hope you can believe them."
Is there a golden rule when it comes to keeping your kids home from school when they're sick?
Doctor Strimling says no. His rule is that, "if the child is too sick to benefit from being in school, or going to be a burden, keep them home."
A few other indicators that your child is too sick to be in class? A severe fever of over 100.5 degrees, vomiting, or diarrhea, says Strimling.
"If they have diarrhea then it's a question of how hygienic they are. How effectively they are at washing their hands after they use the bathroom." He says some kids forget to wash their hands thoroughly. "A little bit of water on your hands is not going to get rid of Norovirus."
Carl Nicholsen's grandson, Wil, had a bit of a cold. "He has a crusty nose," Nicholsen said.
But that didn't stop him from eating a pancake breakfast and going to the park.
Nicholsen said he relies on his father's age old advice about staying home from school. "He'd say, no you can't stay home. You can be sick at home, or sick at school."

Rated 4 out of 5 Great Blades These are really nice blades. I am currently using the one that came with my new Merkur Futur DE razor. and could not be more pleased. I had been using the Dorco brand that came with my Micro Touch razor and its a huge improvement. The only reason for the 4 stars is only because I have used the two different blades so far and I know that there are blades out there like the feathers that I haven't tried yet. When this blade goes bad I will be using the Gillette blades that they sell in store. October 15, 2014

CANTON Opening statements in Richard Thorntons sexual abuse trial painted him as both a habitual predator and a victim of lies.
Thornton, 37, Canton, is charged with felony predatory sexual assault against a child, felony first- and second-degree course of sexual conduct against a child and two counts of misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child.
He is accused of sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl from summer 2008 to summer 2010, and of sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl from summer 2002 to summer 2009.
Prosecutors attacked the morals and integrity of the man standing trial.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Amanda N. Nissen told the jurors the abuse occurred on a regular basis.
Mary E. Rain, Thorntons attorney, said the alleged victims stories evolved through each police interview.
The victims keep adding on and adding on to please authority figures, Ms. Rain said.
Ms. Nissen said she plans on calling a nurse to testify Monday who is highly experienced in sexual abuse cases.

According to Alsford, M. (2006) both heroes and villains come from situations of having experienced parental loss at an early age, which instils fear. In the hero the fear of loss results in a drive for social acceptance from benevolent achievement(s), whereas in the villain this fear leads to an absence of compassion and conscience, which results in the manipulation and control of others.
This kind of theory may well be plausible in explaining the origins of Ronnie Biggs' criminal life, yet it is less satisfactory when transferred to Harry Patch. Although Harry Patch is undoubtedly a hero, his heroic achievements during World War 1 and 11 are as much about situational factors and current social values as they are about internal drive and the self. Psychological theories therefore, would prove more plausible if they incorporated broader social influences rather than limiting their scope to the individual and their immediate environment.

A ruling in the U.S. Northern District of New York Court, Albany, has dismissed the majority of a land claims suit filed by St. Regis Mohawks against the state of New York seeking the return of property in St. Lawrence and Franklin counties.
But the decision filed by Judge Lawrence E. Kahn Monday in federal court, which largely affirmed recommendations made by U.S. Magistrate Therese Wiley Dancks in October, found merit in the claim for the return to the Mohawks of the so-called Bombay or Hogansburg Triangle in the middle of the St. Regis Reservation.
It was the latest ruling in a case that has been pending in federal court for more than two decades after claims by the three governments on the transborder reservation the St. Regis Tribal Council, the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne represented by the Canadian government and the traditional People of the Longhouse were consolidated in August 1991.
The claim called for one square mile in the village of Massena, a tract in the town of Massena, two comparable areas in Fort Covington, Barnhart Island, Croil Island and Long Sault Island, as well as land in the town of Bombay known as the Bombay or Hogansburg Triangle to be returned to the Mohawks.
Judge Kahn wrote in his decision the court had reached the result recommended by Judge Dancks and concluded the Hogansburg Triangle was factually distinguishable from the other land parcels at issue. Claims for the other parcels in the suit were dismissed.
If a parcel were to have a distinctly non-Indian character (e.g., it were heavily developed and owned by non-Indian individuals and entities or heavily regulated by state and local governments), a claim involving the parcel would upset the settled expectations of those non-Indian individuals, entities and interests. If, on the other hand, a parcel were to retain its Indian identity (e.g., it were to remain heavily populated by Indians), it is much less likely that the settled expectations of any non-Indian individuals, entities, or interests would be severely upset or harmed, Judge Kahn ruled.
The data ... shows the Hogansburg Triangle has a very different demographic composition from the surrounding area. The census block numbers for blocks wholly within the Hogansburg Triangle and those partially within the Triangle show a non-reservation Indian population in the Triangle of 72 percent of total population in 1990 and 75.7 percent in 2000, he wrote.
These figures demonstrate a substantial Indian majority and reveal a clear difference between the ethnic composition of the Hogansburg Triangle and that of the surrounding region, he added.
His ruling pointed out that the nonreservation Indian population for the town of Bombay as a whole was 12.1 percent in 1990 and 14.8 percent in 2000. The judge pointed out the Hogansburg Triangle is a relatively small part of the town.
When reached for comment Monday afternoon, St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Council officials said they were aware of the decision, but they would be taking a couple of days to digest it, noting a statement regarding the ruling will be released later this week.
Since the area referred to by the courts as the Hogansburg Triangle is still heavily populated by Native Americans, the court ruled that parcel can still be debated.
This case does not involve a displaced group returning to a region and seeking to reclaim large swaths of land or repayment for the lands in question, Judge Kahn wrote.
Following Judge Danckss decision last year, Tribal Chief Ron LaFrance said that even if the tribe were granted ownership of the Bombay Triangle, little would change for its residents.
We exercise jurisdiction of that area, and we dont treat people differently than we have for the last hundred-some years. I dont believe anything would change, he said last fall.
Massena Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said the fact that the claims against Massena were thrown out is good news, for now.
I would imagine they can appeal it, he said. They could go all the way to the Supreme Court.
Mr. Gray said now that a decision has been handed down, he will review it with the towns legal counsel to see what impact it ultimately could have on the municipality.
Mr. Gray said he was concerned about the impact the ruling could have on the tribe paying gaming compact funds to the state.
In exchange for the tribe resuming to pay the gaming compact funds to the state, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo agreed to work with the tribe on negotiating a land claims settlement, something that may now no longer be possible.
The bigger question is what does this mean for the governors settlement? Mr. Gray said. The question is, can the governor negotiate a settlement for a lawsuit that no longer exists?

Online courses require time management skills. The student must log in regularly (3 or more times per week) and be prepared to read a great deal of information. Expect to spend 6 or more hours weekly on each online course, depending on the length of the course.
Most online courses at KCKCC are not self paced; they have definite start and stop dates, with assignments due weekly.
Students are expected to spend time reading, visiting websites, and posting comments.
Occasionally, problems with technology may impair these activities. When problems occur, it is important to quickly contact the technical support staff. Generally, problems can be solved quickly and deadlines can be met.
Successful online students are typically highly motivated, disciplined, and patient. Students must have consistent and reliable Internet access. KCKCC provides open labs for students wishing to work on campus.

A Fort Drum man was sentenced Friday in Jefferson County Court to five years probation for stealing numerous items from his former landlord in Antwerp.
Lloyd J. Timmons III, 21, also was sentenced to an unspecified amount of time served at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building after pleading guilty Dec. 7 to third-degree attempted burglary. He admitted that on June 8 he entered his former landlords residence on County Route 194 in the town of Antwerp and stole items. Police said at the time that a safe, cash, fishing poles, knives, helmets and various electronic devices were stolen.
Mr. Timmons shared proceeds of the theft with Andrew E. Lehmann, 22, Austin D. Fox, 21, and William S. Hatfield, 22, all of Fort Drum. Each pleaded guilty earlier to fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property and was sentenced to a one-year conditional discharge, with orders to perform 100 hours of community service. Mr. Timmonss probation supervision is expected to be transferred to Texas, where he expects to relocate.
In other court activity:
Nicholas M. Vanzelf, 20, Watertown, was sentenced to time served at the PSB and five years probation after pleading guilty Dec. 21 to third-degree attempted robbery. He admitted that on Nov. 7, with Jesse R. Davis, 17, and Cody L. Davis, 18, he tried to steal money and a wallet from a 15-year-old boy at Maywood Terrace.
Police said at the time that a pellet gun was displayed during the incident. Jesse Davis pleaded guilty Jan. 28 to third-degree attempted robbery and is expected to be sentenced March 25 to time served at the PSB and five years probation. Charges against Cody Davis remain pending.
Anthony M. Hanson, 22, of 43469 Route 3, Natural Bridge, was sentenced to three years probation and was ordered to pay $510 in restitution after pleading guilty Oct. 26 to third-degree identity theft. He admitted he used a womans debit card without permission to obtain cash March 11 in the town of Champion.
Anthony M. Butler, 35, Rochester, admitted violating probation and was sentenced to time served at the PSB. He was serving three years probation imposed in February 2012 after he successfully completed Drug Court for a seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance conviction, having possessed cocaine within the county in 2009. He admitted he violated probation by being charged with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana in Monroe County. Those charges remain pending.
Nichole A. Smith, 22, of 881 LeRay St., Apt. 1, pleaded guilty to trespass, a noncriminal violation, and was sentenced to a one-year conditional discharge.
She admitted that in July she used a gift card that had been stolen from a vehicle in the town of LeRay.
Tajemar M. Brandon, 17, of 823 Academy St., pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal mischief as a result of one incident and fourth-degree criminal mischief as a result of a second incident. He admitted that on Aug. 22 on Huntington Street he fired a BB gun at the windshield of an occupied Ford Expedition owned by Keshia T. Scott. Police said at the time that no one was injured in the incident. He also admitted that he was with another person June 17 on South Hycliff Drive when that person slashed two tires on a Nissan Sentra owned by Tina M. Lagrow. He is expected to be sentenced April 15 to five years probation and be ordered to pay $795 in restitution to Ms. Scott and $500 to Ms. Lagrow.

A Massachusetts investment company will take a second crack at purchasing and renovating Maple Courts Apartments.
Nicholas D. Bouquet, an associate with Evergreen Partners LLC, Ipswich, Mass., confirmed Tuesday that it plans again to apply for state housing tax credits to purchase the 92-unit affordable-housing apartment complex off Weldon Drive for $3.7 million and then spend $7.8 million to renovate it.
Earlier this summer, Evergreen Partners unsuccessfully applied for $9.2 million in housing tax credits from the state Housing and Community Renewal agency. The application is due Oct. 10 and the developers expect to hear during the first part of next year if it will be awarded.
On Tuesday, Mr. Bouquet presented conceptual plans to the city Planning Board of what the $14 million project might look like. Work would include installing new facades and solar panels, adding more playgrounds and replacing windows, doors, flooring, heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, bathrooms and fixtures. The complex includes studio apartments and one-, two- and three-bedroom units.
The project would include about $3 million in architectural, development, professional, financing and other fees. Work would start during the second half of 2014 and take about a year to complete.
Planning Board Chairwoman Sara S. Freda was amazed the 40-year-old apartment complex has never undergone any renovations.
It looks in fairly good shape, she said before the Planning Board gave unanimous consent for a zone change to build a 4,000-square-foot community building at the site.
The developers still must come back to obtain site plan approval for the community building, which would include an office, meeting space and a computer room.
Evergreen Partners came into the picture after the Related Cos. of New York City bowed out last November when the Watertown City Council decided not to give the firm a 30-year tax-break package.
The current owners, the Michigan-based Maple Courts Apts., had a 40-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes package that expired last year.
The new developers have said they do not plan to pursue a tax-abatement package from the city.
Since it got involved in the project, Evergreen Partners has been working as the property manager, Mr. Bouquet said.
Tenants pay $250 to $300 per month. Rent is projected to increase but will be subsidized by the federal government through the Section 8 low-income housing program. On Tuesday, Evergreen Partners representatives confirmed a longtime rumor that the Ford Motor Co.s foundation was the original owner and it used the property for years as a tax write-off.

KENT -- Outgoing Ohio State President Gordon Gee saidhe plans on moving just across the OSU Oval to the law building after resigning.
Gee's legacy at OSU is filled with impressive achievements and verbal gaffes.
He helped to elevate the quality of academics and was a money-making machine, but will be remembered by some for his missteps in verbiage.
Gee made off-base remarks about the Little Sisters of the Poor, the Polish military and the SEC.
Most recently it was a comment about Notre Dame and Catholics that landed him in hot water.
In reference to why the Fighting Irish couldn't join the Big 10, Gee said, "the fathers are holy on Sunday and they're holy hell the rest of e week. You can't trust those damn Catholics."
Shortly after his apology for the comment, Gee abruptly announced his retirement.
Now with under a month left as OSU president, he continues on a "farewell tour.
He's made stops in Amherst at a local bakery, the West Side Market in Cleveland, and a popcorn shop in Kent.
The university is paying for the trip that Gee says is "like a victory lap."

In a veiled threat directed at Democratic Senator Mark Pryor of Arkansas (shown), Mayor Michael Bloomberg, in his role as co-founder of the anti-gun group Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG), said last Thursday that any lawmakers who are "going with the NRA" are "going against the lives of our children." When asked directly if that meant that his group was going to target Pryor, the senior senator from Arkansas, Bloomberg sidestepped a direct answer:
What I have said is that we are going to support those people who want to stop the killing.... And I think you and I both have an obligation to do that.
The way you do that is to make sure that the elected officials understand that you're gonna vote for somebody else.
And we're going to do everything we can to make sure that somebody else gets elected who wants to see that we stop this carnage.
Pryor was one of four Democrats who voted against the background check bill that Bloomberg and his group supported. The others were Max Baucus of Montana, Mark Begich of Alaska, and Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota. During a meeting of top-level people in Bloomberg's MAIG, those four were targeted for retribution; however, Heitkamp has just been elected to a six-year term, Begich's seat was considered safe regardless, and Baucus had just announced his intention to retire. That left Pryor as the lone remaining target.
Several strategies were considered at that meeting, according to sources who remained anonymous, including targeting Democrat African Americans in Arkansas with ads complaining that Pryor was opposing the president's "agenda." Other targets considered in MAIG's campaign to punish Pryor were suburban women and other moderates. "Money would not be an object" in that campaign, according to those sources.
