While computer professionals have not found a comprehensive cure for the Y2K disease, they have developed many partial solutions that taken together can render the Y2K bug impotent, saving brute-force software remediation by overseas services as a backup.
People keep asking me how we could have been so shortsighted as not to have foreseen the problem known as the millennium, or year 2000, bug. This question implies that we should have caught the problem at its source and not let it get to the stage where so many people are in a near panic in dealing with it. The next most frequent question posed to me is even more vexing: "You know all about computers. Why don't you just apply a generalized fix and end this all now?" Such a fix has come to be known as a "silver bullet." My reply is: "Do you believe in magic? I don't. The Y2K bug involves so many different types of computers and software applications that producing a silver bullet to eradicate it is beyond my imagination." Apart from magic, however, there are clever and insightful techniques that information technology professionals are using to control the millennium bug. We will call them "silver pellets."
In addition to a variety of silver-pellet-type solutions, there is a completely different approach to controlling the Y2K bug that is more akin to brute force: Hire a sufficient number of computer analysts and programmers to fix all the deficient software. This can be ruinously expensive, and in most places in the United States, there is a shortage of qualified people to actually staff such an effort. However, many qualified programmers who can fill the need are available overseas, and the costs of this labor are much lower, so remote programmers have offered another approach to solving the Y2K problem.
The scope of the Y2K problem is massive. In our computer-pervasive society, the millennium bug has been found to inhabit all four types of computers on which we depend: personal computers, telecommunications devices with embedded processors, microcontrollers in "smart" appliances, and mainframe and other shared computers. Personal computers now inhabit most offices and more than half the homes in North America. Our cars, ovens, and televisions are saturated with embedded processors. Everywhere we look we see smart appliances and devices that connect to them [see "Y2K Up Close," The World & I, May 1999, p. 170]. Furthermore, the interconnectedness of computers at all levels–from embedded microprocessors to PCs to mainframe computers– means that the ill effects of the bug could spread readily, even into commerce and the Internet's vast array of information sources.
Although the Y2K bug is related to how a computer tells time, using both hardware and software, Y2K bug fixes are almost always achieved through a change in software. Given the hundreds of computer languages and myriad dialects used to program computers, it is hardly surprising that there is no universal silver bullet to kill the bug.
In 1997–98, as concerns about the threat of the Y2K problem were growing, many companies and government agencies still refrained from addressing it. The common wisdom of commentators at the time was that no silver bullet solution had emerged or was likely to, and those who waited to start addressing the problem would face unbeatable deadlines, exorbitant costs, and manpower shortages in trying to correct it. Now, five months away from Y2K day, as this is being written, the situation is not nearly as bleak as had earlier been predicted, and even considerable benefits have been realized through dealing with the problem. Each of the Y2K silver pellets tackles a particular segment of the overall complex issue and, within the segment, applies clever programming techniques to either solve that segment of the problem or greatly simplify its manual resolution. Let's look at some representative examples.
PCs everywhere
One of the daunting challenges of having computers on everyone's desktop is that many of them are not Y2K-ready. The census of PCs in America is now over 60 million. According to a survey completed in 1998, 97 percent of PCs made before 1997, and 47 percent made in 1997, would not be able to make the transition from 1999 to 2000 unless the date/time were manually reset. Compound this with the realization that most knowledge workers are dependent on their personal computers and we see that it is likely to take some substantial effort to assess the Y2K-compliance status of each and every personal computer.
Clearly, a most useful silver pellet would be a tool that could perform an automated test of network-attached personal computers. One such tool is offered by ON Technology. Its product, called ON Command CCM, can check the Y2K compliance of hardware (the BIOS) on multiple PCs simultaneously from a central administrative system. ON Command CCM can also be used to automatically reset local-area network-attached PCs to 1/1/00 (January 1, 2000) without end-user intervention. In this way, the PC system can then be tested for compliance.
Merely asserting that a PC is Y2K-compliant after performing an upgrade is not sufficient. I strongly advise that each computer be tested and verified to be Y2K-compliant. This means testing the system hardware (BIOS and the real-time clock). Even though the effort to upgrade and test one computer's hardware for compliance may require less than half an hour, to do this across an entire enterprise with thousands of PCs is no small task. ON Technology's silver pellet is thus a useful innovation.
Even when the PC becomes Y2K-compliant in regard to its internal date/time processing, its local and networked applications software may still need to be upgraded. ON's tools are also handy for this task. With them, it is possible to use an efficient, centralized approach to distributing Y2K-enhanced applications software, such as is available from Oracle or SAP R/3. Again, we are taking advantage of the local- area network connectivity with its speed of transmission and software- controlled automated management to replace a "catch as one can" software administration. Interestingly, tools such as these can also be used productively after the Y2K hubbub is behind us; PCs will always need testing for effective functioning on specific vulnerable dates such as leap year 2000 (February 29, 2000) or for other purposes.
If you have only one PC to test for compliance of its hardware (real- time clock and BIOS), however, you can use a product from Computer Experts called Millennium Bug Toolkit, which is available over the Internet at www.computerexperts.co.uk/pc2000. One of the nice features of this silver pellet is that it works from the floppy disk drive and does not interact with your hard disk during the testing procedure. In this way, it protects your data and software during testing; not all competitor products do.
By the millions
It is commonplace nowadays for corporations and governments to maintain large bodies of their own custom-written applications software, written mainly in the COBOL language for a mainframe environment. One such company presently completing its Y2K-compliance project has been reviewing and remediating some 21 million lines of programming code. This company is using another type of silver pellet to identify and analyze its software programs that fail the Y2K test. To appreciate the size of this task, consider that 21 million lines of code takes some 400,000 pages to print. Missing even one date occurrence can lead to a failed application. Platinum Technology's TransCentury Analysis Tools handles more than 150 date formats and uses the power of the mainframe itself to break up the 21 million lines of code into manageable units. Platinum has a complementary product, Calendar Routines, that can automatically generate replacement software to fix noncompliant date logic; its FileAge product can simulate dates after December 31, 1999, for use in testing the changed application code.
Economies of scale
With thousands of personal computers to fix, millions of lines of code to scan, and a hard and fast time deadline of January 1, 2000, the real Y2K problem is one of managing a multitude of checks, upgrades, and tests. Not only must programmers carefully manage their own work, but also upper management must be extremely thorough and careful in managing the total repair job. The real management problem arises not because a particular instance of the date problem is so difficult to fix but because of the sheer number of bug occurrences that must be found and repaired–and all without error. The problem of locating all of the bug occurrences is what concerns me the most.
Another silver pellet aims not only to speed up bug-fix management but also to link the programmer's task progress with status reports to upper management. Turnkey 2000 of San Jose, California, has such a tool called Unravel 2000, which automates up to 90 percent of a programmer's work. It can convert noncompliant software code to be Y2K-compliant and can generate project-management reports of the changes. This tool makes it possible for managers to cut conversion costs by performing assessments in mid-project and to update project schedules and change priorities as needed.
Cleverness and brute force
What is the challenge in bringing 21 million lines of code up to Y2K- compliance standards? From surveys, we know that noncompliant date faults occur, on average, with a frequency of one per 1,000 lines of code (about one for every 20 pages of code). This works out to 21,000 faults, and the Y2K-repair effort is aimed at them. If a programmer can find, fix, and test one date fault in half a day's time on average, then we are looking at about 10,000 days of work. If the company has 20 programmers dedicated full time to the Y2K-remediation task, then it will take 500 days (slightly more than two entire working years for the 20 people) to complete this brute-force solution.
What if it were possible to adopt an approach that would avoid changing the software at all? If this could work, then a tremendous load could be lifted. Approaches of this sort have proven successful in many cases. Understanding how it works requires some background. Let's start by defining the year 2000 computer problem as a discrepancy between the external, four-digit dates used by people and the internal, two-digit dates used by computers. The discrepancy can be expressed by the two statements: "2000 is greater than 1999 (2000 > 1999)," and "00 is less than 99 (00 99)." A noncompliant computer only knows to drop or add the first two digits when dates pass across the divider between internal dates and external dates. Thus, its internal dates are stuck in the twentieth century, in a loop between 1900 and 1999.
The clever trick called program encapsulation, which can avoid changing all of the software, shifts each date when it crosses the divide from external, four-digit to internal, two-digit or vice versa. If, for example, we subtract 28 years from both 2000 and 1999, we see that 1972 > 1971, and after dropping the first two digits of each year, that 72 > 71. In the reverse path the computer would first convert 72 and 71 to 1972 and 1971, then add 28 to each of those. With this date shift built in, the noncompliant software can continue to work without change. Programmers have selected 28, or multiples of 28, as the preferred date-shift increment because the pattern of the cycles of days of the week (Monday, Tuesday, …) and days of the month (1, 2, …) and the leap year relationship repeat identically every 28 years. Given that 2000 is a leap year but 1900 and 2100 are not leap years, it may appear that this technique can in principle be used for all years whose external representation falls within 1901–2099. That window is further reduced, however, to external dates of 1929–2099 by constraints on the date-shifted internal representation (1929 –28 = 1901).
With program encapsulation, the computer's clock is operating in its own world 28 years earlier than real time. Everything internal to the boundary is shifted by –28 years on input and +28 years on output. Data files also are taken inside the time boundary–by shifting all the year values on the file by minus 28 years. One has to be careful with this approach that outputs are properly adjusted by +28 years. Usually, this is not a difficult task.
Thus, program encapsulation is one of the easiest methods of correcting the Y2K bug by changing the frame of reference for time. Of course, this silver pellet assumes that the software runs correctly for the relevant span of time in the twentieth century. Seeing this technique, some have commented that it only postpones the day of reckoning. But if you replay it again in 28 years by subtracting and adding years, its applicability is extended. Similarly with 84 years, and other multiples of 28, ad infinitum.
A process patent covering the concept of program encapsulation dating from 1995 is held by the original developers, Turn of the Century Solution, LP. Anyone using the method is required to obtain a license. Seven software developers have licensed the process and offer program encapsulation utilities for all major platforms.
A closely related technique, data encapsulation, handles the time shift inside programs rather than outside programs as in program encapsulation. With data encapsulation, new code to shift the data forward and back is inserted at every input or output statement in the programs– the disadvantage being that many programs have to be changed and recompiled. The advantage, however, is that vast repositories of data do not have to be expanded to handle four-digit years. This process was developed by Paul O'Neil of Raytheon and is in the public domain.
The full significance of program encapsulation is that it avoids the necessity of performing tests with advancing dates. Since the software is not changed to handle dates in two different centuries, it does not need to be tested with dates in two different centuries. Given that, for medium- and large-scale software application systems, advanced date testing is usually 50 percent of the personnel effort, eliminating this task makes program encapsulation a significant silver pellet.
Remote programmers
Clearly there is a shortage of computer programmers in the United States. Companies trying to make their systems Y2K-compliant need to dedicate programmers, analysts, managers, and a certain proportion of their information technology infrastructure to the remediation task. However, these companies also have to maintain normal operations such as payroll, accounts receivable, and general ledger. With the fixed deadline of January 1, 2000, and the exigencies of normal maintenance, striking a balance has been difficult. Because the Y2K-remediation task is finite, it has been simpler to contract it to other companies. But America has no surplus personnel resources available. Enterprising groups like Trigent Software of Southborough, Massachusetts, have specialized in filling the need for Y2K personnel by arranging with offshore programmers in countries such as India, Pakistan, and the Philippines. Mexico's Softtek is working with Ernst and Young, LLP, to provide its "nearshore" programmers for large software development projects. In these countries, there is both the skilled labor force and sufficient familiarity with the English language to be able to read and write technical documentation.
The work performed by remote programmers follows the same approach used in the United States:
- find the instances where dates are used;
- document their location;
- analyze their criticality;
- devise a fix and reprogram using an agreed-upon convention (e.g., to expand the year code from two to four digits);
- carry out testing to validate the changes; and
- report the status of remediation results to the management.
The first four stages of repair take about 30 percent of the total effort. Testing takes about 50 percent, and reporting requires the remaining 20 percent.
Even if some stateside Y2K-remediation projects have the programming and analysis talent, they often skimp on the testing phase. Generating test data can be both difficult and tedious, and programmers are known to be highly optimistic about the outcome of their creativity. As a result, testing is given too little emphasis, and this can spell the ruination of a Y2K project. With remote programmers, testing is often more exhaustively complete because they are happy to get the relatively high-paying work and want to please their U.S. customers. For these offshore firms, their Y2K projects are golden opportunities to show what they can do. They realize that if they do a good job, there is likely to be more work from these sources in the future.
One of the substantial benefits of this approach is cost savings for American companies hiring offshore programmers, whose wages are about a tenth of what they are in the United States. Through the use of the Internet and satellite-based communications facilities, information officers are beaming software that needs repair across the globe to a waiting cadre of technical specialists. By using remote programmers, the time- and manpower-intensive manual labor of correcting hundreds of thousands of lines of computer code is being done at reduced prices by burgeoning offshore industries.
The silver lining
The enormous effort to reach y2k-compliance standards is starting to pay a substantial bonus. Because the efforts are mostly managerial, it should be no surprise that most of the benefits are in that domain. With personal computers so pervasive and software and hardware proliferating so rapidly, successful Y2K-compliance projects have put many companies in a position for the first time to know and keep current on the full inventory of their computers and software. Some of the silver pellets described in this article are being used to track all of a company's software and to provide upgrades as new versions are released. Because testing and validation of Y2K compliance is so critical, Y2K tools were acquired for this purpose. But these tools will also be used to test for non-Y2K purposes, so the end result will be more thorough testing of future systems and their applications. Our mainframes are getting the cleaning of their lives; cobwebs in software libraries are being swept away after years of accumulation. Having more current systems, better tested, and with better management of both central and distributed information technology assets may not be too much to pay for being Y2K-compliant.
After all is said and done, January 1, 2000, is not the last of our worries about processing dates by computer. The next date to be concerned about is February 29, 2000, which is the first leap day in a century year since 1600. The simplest rule in programming for leap years is to add an extra day when the year is evenly divisible by four. Since computers were not around in 1900, this exception is no problem for real-time work, and 2100, the next exception, is still over 100 years away. So the simplest rule works correctly in 2000. What we have to be concerned with is that the algorithm may be formulated correctly for the 100 years but not the 400-year exception. December 31, 2000, may produce another surprise, as it is the 366th day. If a program tells time by counting days from a fixed point, then it will be incorrect if the programmer forgets that 2000 is a leap year. In a little over a year, we'll see if anyone got caught on this one.
More ominous is September 9, 2001, at precisely 1:46:39 a.m. This is a special date for UNIX systems. Unlike classical mainframes or personal computers, UNIX computers are programmed to tell time by counting the seconds from a fixed point: midnight, January 1, 1970. On September 9, 2001, the counter reaches 999,999,999. The significance of this number is that programmers often use such a number as the code for the end-of- file. Thus, on September 9, 2001, UNIX programs may mysteriously end prematurely or give erroneous results.
Well, with computers it is always something. I'm glad we have a good stock of silver pellets and remote programmers to call on again.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) will be responsible for regulating consumer credit from 1 April 2014. It is anticipated that it will take a significantly different approach to the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) and will regulate the market more intrusively, intensively and rigorously. Firms should consider evolving how they organise and control their credit business to help reduce the risk of enhanced scrutiny and enforcement action. Both could undermine brand and demand time plus senior management resource.
Interim permission
Firms need to apply for interim permission by 31 March 2014. The FCA says interim permission is not just a tick-box exercise and firms should consider their business model and operations before applying. The FCA will determine when firms must apply for full authorisation based on their sector. During full authorisation, the FCA will complete a full business model analysis. Likely focus areas
Based on our FCA proposals review and interaction with clients and the FCA, we believe the FCA is likely to focus of the following areas:
Challenges facing firms
The hardest challenge facing most firms – especially ones without FCA regulation – is adapting their culture to match the FCA's principles. The FCA's starting point is that customers should be central to every financial services business and that this may reduce your desire to maximise profit. Governance arrangements will need to be structured to show how the business organises its affairs and how it's designed to match culture with operations.
Ensuring customers can afford a product through completing an appropriate and robust creditworthiness assessment is a major issue for firms. To determine what is proportionate, and therefore appropriate regarding a particular product, lenders must consider the product and individual borrower risks. Some firms are opting for electronic creditworthiness assessments provided by credit bureaus, whilst others are considering full income and expenditure assessments. The FCA has not issued any guidance on this and will use the following months after the transfer to decide what 'good' looks like. In the meantime, firms should use their product and customer-type assessments to form their own views.

I must admit that I favor dry mounting and I have tried float matting a couple of times but wasn't impressed with the results enough to switch.
I thought that mounting on a darker board and then float matting in white would create a good separation between the light areas of the print and the mat. It did, but I didn't find it a huge visual improvement over over-matting so I'm back to conventional now.

NZ south island help
Good day,
A few buddies and I are planning a trip to NZ next year to go hunt. We have been once before but did not get to hunt. We are looking for some information on DIY. We have done quite a bit of research already but just need help on exactly where to go. We would be willing to pay a small fee to anyone that could help send us in the right direction. I will also post in the swap hunt section as well.

Re: NZ south island help
I am a Kiwi living in Seattle and visit family every year over Christmas / New Year so I could give you some pointers on DIY hunting in the lower South Island.
It is very easy to take a rifle over there and the hunting regulations are the same for resident and non residents. Simply stated there are no tags required and no seasons on any species with the exception of some areas during the rutting period - mid March to mid April.
Have a look at this web site, register and ask for suggestions.
NZ Hunting and Shooting Forums
All that trophy hunting stuff, shooting of "free range" managed animals on privately fenced properties that you see on TV over here is the exception and does not sit well with me.
Here is another link to the official regulations about hunting on Public Land. The information covers everything but you will be amazed at how few regulations there are.
The only mammal native to NZ is a bat. Every animal that you would be likely to be interested in hunting was introduced for that very reason - sport !
There are no predators or snakes in NZ so you are safe to sleep out anywhere - but keep an eye on the weather.

Re: NZ south island help
What animals are you after? If after Chamois and Tahr then the West Coast is the best place to go. It is steep and rough but not impossible to get around. You can get helicopter access to a lot of areas, James Scott is the best pilot
Alpine Adventures : F.A.Q : Mt Cook, Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers, Scenic Flights with Snow Landing
If after a big red stag, that will be very hit and miss. The traditional areas are the Rakaia and Otago rivers. Be prepared to get away from the huts and camp out. No bears to worry about in NZ.
April is the roar in NZ.
Chamois and Tahr, May is the best time as they are in their Winter coats.
If you can give a bit more detail I might be able to help out.

Re: NZ south island help
When I asked the West coast conservancy where is the the easiest place to hunt from a main road with a close town for supplies on a normal West coast conservancy permit this is what they sent back . Whataroa area West coast recommended part marked in blue for deer , public access permit and I have added all the Thar blocks that require special booking and or draws of the block in Red . In pink is areas that did contain Thar and possibly chamois back then that are public access on a basic permit .
Things may have changed so check with West coast conservancy
Below yellow line is Canterbury conservancy . Godley river I think.
There is Thar data information available from the conservancies that tell you which blocks are available when and how to get to them by public access or chopper . Many you can get a permit and just drive to them and walk in.
Send this map to West coast conservancy and see what they say now about this area .
I did all the research and booked the hunt but my wife fell gravely ill on the journey and I had to fly her home from Christchurch the NZ people were very helpful and good to our plight . I never got to hunt in NZ unfortunately . Our insurance company ripped us off and only paid half of the costs because we had travelled half the distance even though 90% of the actual bookings costs was lost . So don't ask me what game I shot because I will start crying tears of blood.

Re: NZ south island help
Thanks for all the helpful info! We have been looking at the west coast because of the amount of game and the topo. We would like to go after stags, chamois, tahr, and goats. We do not need to harvest huge stags we really would like to just find numbers.
We have looked at getting a heli, but would rather save the money to put toward another end of the trip perhaps.
We are planning around march / April but would like to avoid the block system thing that they have in place during some of that time.
We are in great shape and live in some of the toughest country around so we would have no problem backpacking in to remote locations.
Thanks for the other forums, I joined them and will start talking to some kiwis. Everyone seems very helpful down there.
Thanks for the great map and info! Will check into them heavily. We need to talk to the doc a little more, it seems they are very helpful. We have been looking at there maps that show where they have culled and the data from the blocks.
It looks like we have the gun importing figured out mostly... We will most likely land in Christchurch then drive out to the west coast from there.
So should we be looking into private land at all?
Also the roar blocks seem complicated, plus we would like to move around the areas while looking for game or pursuing different animals.
You said that huts are not far enough the well traveled path. Would you recommend a certain one or area that we should stay in then spike camp off of? Like hike further out and tent camp, then come back to the hut?
Thanks so much for all the info! You guys rock!
Any advice is appreciated!

Re: NZ south island help
Be careful of the chopper fees they can charge you a lot of money just to fly over the next hill from where you already are.
Large numbers of deer are not around like they once were before helicopter hunting and proffesional cullling . NZ proffessional cullers were the most effecient hunters on the planet and they basically wiped out large herds .
Like the Caples fallow herd which they also poisoned . It was the largest Fallow herd on Earth and they dessimated it .
I would not leave anything behind in a hut . Travel light and take everything with you each day or stash some stuff in a dry bag in the bush away from the hut and pick it up on the way back to the hut.
Purify all water taken anywhere near a hut as many of the tarns contain Legionella and Ecoli .
My research at the time showed that the largest number of deer were in the Waitutu forest in the very South . You can walk in along the coast from Tuatapere but it is Maori land along some of the coast so no hunting near teh coast . Or get a jet boat down Lake Hauroko to Teal Bay , Dean and Rowallan forests are close by and also have deer .
I have a massive data base on NZ but I don't want to go back into it much because it's upsetting .
In the old days the best thar blocks were Adams , Lambert and Lambert Lord and you had to chopper in bt it is technically possible to tramp in up the Wanganui river to Adams river . However you can do a lot of driving and permit hunting for the cost of chopper fees.
I reckon the best plan is to get around as many places as possible rather than spend big money on one spot that might fail . You see more of the country and meet more people that may put you onto a good local spot .

Re: NZ south island help
I'm down in Invercargill, NZ's southermost city, about two hours drive south of Queenstown.
I'm not a guide or anything like it (just to be very clear). However we like hosting hunters from other places and giving what pointers I can. Sometimes I'l take guys hunting in a handy place, usually after goats or east coast Tahr where we can be certain of getting shootable animals just to help them get a feel for our mountains and sort out their plans and gear.
PM me if you want, I'm not big on writing long posts or emails.

I'm 63. My prints 40 years ago were high contrast and meaningless.
Today my prints exhibit more sublety than ever, partly due to better film processing. I suspect some people are influenced by the garish prints you see in exhibitions these days, tonality seems to be out of fashion.
On the other hand there are more lith prints with tonality being made than ever. What goes around comes around.

This week we'll hear from a short-lived horror series titled Dark Fantasy. From March 13, 1942 it's Superstition Be Hanged.
Monthly Archives: December, 2009
This week we'll hear from a series titled Obsession. There doesn't seem to be much info around regarding this one, other than it aired in 1952. I believe the episode we'll hear is titled Amnesia, though the file was named Terrible Obsession. But what's really in a name? Enjoy!
This week our tales of crime begin with Richard Diamond, Private Detective and The Fred Sears Murder Case from June 19, 1949. Then after Ripley's Believe It Or Not, it's Frank Sinatra as Rocky Fortune in Catskills Cover-Up from February 9, 1954.
This week we'll begin with a series from 1956 titled The Key. We'll hear The Cellar. Then it's Ripley's Believe It Or Not and King Olaf. Arch Oboler's Play's will close out this show with an episode from August 9, 1945 titled History Of A Mug.

WALLA WALLA — According to Walla Walla County Sheriff John Turner, the decision to hire a retired Los Angeles police officer, John King, to replace former Capt. Barry Blackman was difficult, "based on many factors."
"It was made in the best interests of the Sheriff's Office," Turner said in a phone interview this morning.
The decision isn't sitting well with Blackman, apparently, and the erstwhile captain took issue with the decision in a letter written to Turner in January, then forwarded to Walla Walla County commissioners Feb. 25, a day after Turner announced King's hiring in a guest column that ran in the Union-Bulletin.
Perry Dozier, chairman of the county commission, said Blackman's letter was the first he had heard of King's appointment to Blackman's position. He said that, legally, Turner can appoint anyone he deems appropriate.
"He can appoint or demote out of those (appointed) positions," Dozier said, adding he has not, in his four years as commissioner, received a letter like Blackman's.
Turner stated in his editorial letter, "John (King) announced his desire to move his family to the Pacific Northwest around the same time that Chief Deputy Barry Blackman was discussing his plans to retire."
Turner added that King visited Walla Walla several times, and was eventually offered a position.
"Since then, we were also glad to hear that Barry Blackman has decided not to retire at this time," Turner wrote. "He advised us that he would prefer to stay on the team a while longer and be reassigned to another supervisory position."
Blackman's letter, however, indicated that Blackman would prefer to remain in his current position, and that Blackman had not, in fact, announced any definite retirement plans.
Blackman pointed out that he had said he would retire if his wife, Chis Blackman, was elected as a county commissioner in the 2012 election.
"I realize it was stated that if my spouse were elected … I would retire at the earliest time I'm eligible, which would be October 2013," Blackman wrote. "My wife was not elected to the office of county commissioner, so there will be no conflict (of interest), and therefore I have no plans to retire in the immediate future."
Blackman also wrote that he was against an alleged promise to reinstate Blackman to the position of Chief Deputy if Undersheriff Edward Freyer retires and King were promoted to that position.
"I am emphatically opposed to that proposal," Blackman wrote, later adding that would only increase confusion within the department.
"I understand that John King may be an attractive prospective staff member," Blackman wrote, stating he had concerns about how the decision to demote him and hire another administrative staff member from outside the department would be received by the community and deputies.
"The message that would be received would be that you don't feel that anyone within the agency … is good enough to be in your administration."
When questioned about Blackman's letter, which was dated Jan. 9, 2013, Turner said he could not comment on personnel matters, and restated the decision to hire King was difficult.
Turner also did not comment on whether Blackman's reassignment to sergeant was filling a vacant position, or whether a new position would be created, and what, if any, salary changes Blackman could face.

Turner's true character is coming out. It looks like he's been planning this all along. He wants the community to believe that its coincidence that Blackman retiring has created the opportunity for this new guy from LAPD to join his administration, but its a ruse. Now we're expected to believe that it's "difficult" and "based on many factors". That sure isn't how Turner presented the story in his own words last week. He now wants the comunity to believe that it maybe something else as he states that he can't speak about personnel matters. It's descipable.
tinstar 2 years, 8 months ago
It's very sad to see the Sheriff's Office so divided over issues, concerning staff. It appears to be getting worse all the time. First it was with Bill White, and Chad Pederson, and now Barry Blackman. I see that Chad has since left the department that He so much enjoyed working for, before Turner was elected. Now Turner brings in another former LAPD officer to add to the turmoil. This must be another campaign pledge that Turner made to King, since King suposedly contributed to Turner's campaign. As to all the Turner supporters, including Barry Blackman, who didn't see the handwritting on the wall, when Turner was running for office. Now may be these people and many more will realize that was a bad decision. It's also quite interesting that Turner said He couldn't comment on employee issues, concerning Barry. But He had no problem smearing Bill White a few months ago. The past two years must have been pure hell for the employee's of the Sheriff's Office. The next two will be even worse.
ImJustSayin 2 years, 8 months ago
Blah, blah, blah.... you guys don't have a clue. How about posting that you man'd up, called the Sheriff, and got the facts from him instead of heresay?
cropcircles 2 years, 8 months ago
HOw is it hearsay? Read Turner's letter. Read Blackman's letter dated two months prior to Turner's letter. How about Turner manning up and saying the truth. Dozier is right, Turner does have the power to appoint whoever he wants, when he wants. So why didn't Turner just say that. we wouldn't have to like it, but at least he would be telling the truth. instead its all smoke and mirrors and trying to blame Blackman for this. just man up Turner and stop lying

I would like to have a job that I could tell my boss that there is a possibility of a future retirement but just in case if it fall through I still want my job but I might just leave! Only in America and being in a union and expect to get your wishes through the gossip columns. Just with the hypotheticals he should have been gone and replaced as soon as possible.
tinstar 2 years, 8 months ago
ImJustSayin: it's very obvious that you do not know what you are talking about.You can't get the truth from the Sheriff. His truth changes on a moments notice, and depending on who he's trying buffalo.
ImJustSayin 2 years, 8 months ago
Says you..... for whatever that's worth.
mythoughts 1 year, 6 months ago
Don't let Tinstar get to you. Read the comments on the letter "Letter - Sheriff Turner's integrity has earned him respect". Those coments show who is spreading truthful information and who isn't.
campbell_rd 1 year, 5 months ago
The simple solution is to compare the two deputies experience, John King and Barry Blackman. There is no real honest comparison. Walla Walla needed someone with real-time gang experience. John King has it and has done an outstanding job. Barry Blackman is an excellent officer but I don't see leadership abilities and his experience pales to that of Sheriff Turner and John King.
cropcircles 1 year, 4 months ago
32 years fighting crime and responding to the needs of those living in Walla Walla county is the best kind of experience Not sure why king left LA. Last time I checked LA still has a gang problem.
mythoughts 1 year, 4 months ago
I guess Kings experience in the FBI and working on the Polly Klass Abduction doesn't hold up to experience limited to Walla Walla or his law enforcement experience, or his higher education. Really?
Bottom line: the Sheriff has the right to hire whomever he feels the citizens of Walla Walla will get the best benefit from.
I wish I could tell my boss what position I want and when I want it.

How to Fill a Hot Water Bottle
A hot water bottle is essential on a cold winter's night - there's no better way of making sure your kids can get into a lovely warm bed ready for a good night's sleep. This is how to fill and prepare it so they get the most from it - and you enjoy doing it.
1Unscrew the plug from the hot water bottle. Pour out any old water still in it from last nightAd
2Turn the hot water tap on. You may prefer to use the bath if you find you cannot get the entire water bottle under the tap. Do not use boiling water from the kettle - it's too hot
3Wait for the water to become good and hot. Then turn off the tap. Place the hot water bottle under the tap, lining the plug hole directly under the tap
4Slowly turn the hot water on again. Fill the bottle up until it's about three quarters full.
5Then turn the hot water tap off and carefully remove the bottle from under the tap.
6Slowly squeeze the air from out of the hot water bottle so the water level just reaches the plug hole.
7Screw the plug back into the hot water bottle. Make sure it is very tight so that no water leaks out.
8Dry the plug and outside of the water bottle. Use a dishcloth end to do this.
9Slip it into its cover and button it up. A cover is essential for two reasons; 1) bare feet could burn if they touch the bottle directly, and 2) it turns something which is functional into something really cute and pretty. It is now something which even the grumpiest teenager will love to have in his - or her - bed
10It is now ready to start work! Put it into his - or her - bed about 20-30 minutes before bedtime, so that it has time to make the bed lovely and warm. Put it in the center of the bed and don't forget to pull the covers back over it!Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Preparing your kids' hot water bottles yourself and putting them into their beds is something that you'll enjoy doing - it means you're doing your best for them and you're always sure that they'll have lovely warm beds to get into.
- Doing it yourself also helps you define a bedtime routine for them - this is especially important for teenagers who need more sleep than they think!
- Every night during the winter you can warn them that you're about to get their hot water bottles ready, and they can then get used to the idea that they have 20-30 minutes to finish what they're doing and get ready for bed.
- They'll be happier about their bedtime when they know their bed will be nice and warm.
- You can do this at different times for younger kids and teenagers who will have different bedtimes.
- If you turn on the hot water tap too quickly the water can splatter up as the air inside the bottle cannot get out fast enough.
- Never let kids or teenagers prepare their own hot water bottle as the hot water can splash up and burn. Always do it for them and then put it into their beds yourself.
Things You'll Need
- One hot water bottle and cover per person

Garnier has released a new BB Cream. A Miracle Skin Perfector and Daily Blemish Balm providing an all-in-one solution to your complexion and skin care needs. Garnier are the first to introduce a Blemish Balm cream to Australia.
If you are wondering what a Blemish Balm is the best way to describe it is as an all-in-one cream that covers five different actions: Hydrate for 24 hours, Even tone, Correct blemishes, Boost healthy glow and SPF15+ protection.
As a woman with fair skin, I often find it very difficult to find makeup that is light enough to match my skin type. It is either too dark for me or feels too thick on my skin. I do not like to wear makeup that is heavy on my face but, I also do not mind showing off some of my freckles. They add character! Finding a balance between all of my wants in a tube has had me trying many different types of makeup available on the market over the years.
Now that I am getting a little older, I am finding the need to seek out a cream to help me cover up a few unsightly marks that seem to be appearing with age. I was so delighted when Garnier sent me some Miracle Cream Skin Perfector to review. I am so glad that I said YES!
I have been using the BB Cream for over a week now and started off with the Light version right away. When I first looked in the tube I really did not think that it would suit my skin colour but was happily surprised that is not as dark as it looks. I can easily spread several layers of the cream on my skin to help cover up underneath my eyes or other blotches and still have it looking nice and even.
I was very surprised that I could just apply this Blemish Balm to my face and that is all I would need to wear for the day. It cuts down on my makeup time in the morning and I totally love having only one product that I can apply to my face and then be ready to rush off for a busy day.
I love that it is light on my skin and was delighted with how it feels when I apply it. I love the feel of cream going on my skin and this is smooth and soft to apply. As soon as I put it on I could tell that it was really going to hydrate my skin and was so pleased it has SPF15+ sun protection as I get sunburnt so easily!
The medium version of the Miracle Skin Perfector cream I can still use as after playing around with the creams I have found that even with fair skin I can mix the two colours together and still end up with a blend that suits my skin type. I am very happy with this product. New loyal customer here!
If you are interested in checking out more about this product you can look it up on the Garnier Website and Garnier Facebook page.
The BB cream is currently available at Priceline and is being rolled out to supermarkets, pharmacies, independent & variety stores as I type!
Other bloggers who have reviewed the cream are:
DanniiBeauty, Kate Say Stuff, Toushka Lee, Nobashake and Mumma's Mini Me's.
Garnier would love you to try out this BB Cream and I have 10 packs of the Light and Medium shade to giveaway. Each winner will receive:
1 x Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Light
1 x Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Med
Valued at $13.95ea (total $27.90 prize pack)

A self-guided, 1-mile walking tour leads through the ruins of the once-prosperous fishing village Koai'e, which dates as far back as the 15th century. Displays illustrate early Hawaiian fishing and farming techniques, salt gathering, games, and legends.

Contact is a practical, hands-on booklet that helps churches make the most of their connections with those outside the church. Most churches find that setting-up a course for non-churchgoers to explore Christianity is not the most difficult task - getting them to come is the real test. Here's where Contact steps in. Contact builds on insights from recent research and case studies and provides helpful advice for churches on: making contact with those outside the church making the most of existing contacts, such as occasional attendees, toddler groups connecting with people's spirituality how to set up a nurture group encouraging your church to be involved in evangelism and outreach This second edition builds upon the experience of those who have used the Emmaus material since it was first published and also the considerable amount of statistical research which has been done in recent years.
Canon Felicity Lawson is Vicar of St Peter's, Gildersome in Leeds. She is co-author of Saints Alive! and co-creator of the Emmaus course.
Robert Warren was Team Rector of one of the largest and fastest growing churches in England, St. Thomas Crookes. In 1993 he succeeded John Finney as the Church of England's National Officer for Evangelism. In 1998, he joined Springboard, the Initiative for Evangelism of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York. He is the author of a number of books including Building Missionary Congregations and co-author of the Emmaus course.
Stephen Cottrell is the Bishop of Chelmsford, and a prolific and much-loved author. Before serving as Bishop of Reading from 2004 to 2010, Stephen was the Canon Pastor at Peterborough Cathedral. He has worked as an Associate Missioner with Springboard, and has also been a Diocesan Missioner for Wakefield. Stephen is a co-creator of the Emmaus course and a co-author of the Pilgrim course.
Steven Croft is the Bishop of Sheffield. A former Archbishop's Missioner and the first Team Leader of Fresh Expressions, he is the author of many acclaimed books including Jesus' People: What the Church should do next and editor of Mission-shaped Questions.

Got it. Just logged in through my datebytype Twitter and submitted 2 stories. Not expecting anything, but you never know ...
Based on what I"m seeing, sites that have claimed authorship are ranking better--and people are clicking a whole lot more on search results that include an image. So while technically a +1 may not help, Google Authorship gives more trust and authority--which appears to be helping rankings.
Big Brother appears to be frowning on anonymity these days.
Yeah, I'm just not completely convinced that authorship is responsible for the improved rank positions. It could be and it would make sense if it is, but there are too many things going on with Google lately, and a number of factors could be in play.

Very nice post – I didn't know about WordPress Backup To Dropbox, so cheers for that.
Awesome post. Which wordpress plugin do you suggest for social media buttons and advertising. I use digg digg but it takes lot of time to load
Thank you so much for these interesting tips. I will install asp the ping optimizer plugin, as i didn't know that updating my posts might hurt my traffic. Also i think the W3 total cash could improve the loading time for any site.
Also I would like to recommend the LePopup plugin for WordPress – very useful for advertising purposes as well as the gallery, etc.. Although is
for a small fee which is compensated with an high quality support and frequent updates.
You can found demo at this link http://goo.gl/y6Vgs or direct link http://goo.gl/7NnPu
Thanks for the useful tips. Will definitely run a couple of the suggested plugins for a test. WPTouch was particularly new to me and I've tried it after reading this post, and I can now read my own blog from my Android phone in a better mobile viewing format.
I've been browsing on-line more than three hours these days, but I never found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It's pretty worth sufficient for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content as you did, the web will be a lot more helpful than ever before.
Thank you so much for these interesting tips. I will install asp the ping optimizer plugin, as i didn't know that updating my posts might hurt my traffic

No, to be quite brief and short in the answer.
Having webpages which are not W3C compliant can indeed hurt more or less your ranking, depending of type of errors found in your pages.
Considering that search engines may stop crawling your pages or missed links because of bad HTML, then it hurts your ranking/position.
Always have W3C compliant webpage, safer.
Also, get CSE HTML Validator, free HTML validator which helps to get on your mqchine the obvious HTML errors but less strict than W3C.

White Light
- Written by Rudy Rucker
===About the Book=== White Light is a hilarious and mind-bending exploration of time, space, and infinity. University mathematician Felix Rayman discovers an ability to separate his astral body from his physical one, and helps a ghost leave Earth and reach Cimön (heaven? dream land?). There he meets the beetle Franx, explores Hilbert's hotel, and climbs Mount On through increasing levels of infinity towards White Light. While reading this book, you'll meet characters familiar and fantastic, visit wonderfully imaginative places, and come away with an appreciation of just how big infinity is.

WHEN ILLINOIS RESIDENTS Dennis Kruepke and his wife decided to purchase a second home in Arizona to be closer to their daughter and grandkids in California, they were instantly intrigued by a gated 55+ community which guarantees "no electric bill." Shea Homes in Peoria, Arizona offers net-zero-energy homes, which the builder dubbed "SheaXero," in its Trilogy community of 2,400 homes. Once the Kruepkes settled on specific features of the Veritas Genova model they had chosen, the 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath, 2,180-square-foot home took about six months to build.
All homes within the Trilogy community are now built with a solar array, but at the time of the Kruepkes' purchase, the couple was given an option to lease the solar power generation system. Excited by the prospect of having an eco-friendly home that would also save them money, Dennis agreed to a 20-year lease. As part of the agreement, SolarCity, the company installing the solar array, guaranteed the amount of solar energy the system would provide.Read More

As for hair and makeup, Celine goes ultra-glam with retro-styled waves, while makeup is natural and nude. Your thoughts?

Her earrings are a definite no. The dress is certainly less than amazing.

Definitely a step (or fifty) from her back-to-front white tuxedo look.
