If the child was being extremely loud and it disrupted other people's movie experience then the movie theater had every right to ask them to leave.
I understand that autistic children may not know what they are doing wrong, but maybe it's best that the child watch the movie at home when it comes out on DVD so it doesn't effect everyone else's good time.
I would expect a parent to remove an unruly child from a restaurant, special needs or not.
I would need more info. How loud was the child being in the theatre? I allow for some noise during kids' shows but at some point it's too much.
I got 99 problems, but makeup ain't one.
If the child was being too loud and disruptive, he should have left. The mom should have pulled him out before they were asked.
It's really no different than if a 2 year old were throwing a tantrum during a movie. There is a certain level of noise that is acceptable during a traditional showing of a film. If a child is exceeding that level of noise, they should leave so as not to disrupt the other patrons.
Why would you feel offended for them? Did the manager say, "No autistic kids allowed" or something?
I got 99 problems, but makeup ain't one.
No. He should not have been asked to leave. I have never been to a movie where it was completely silent. There are always people talking, loud laughter, people on cell phones.
I have a hard time believing this kid was exceeding that noise level. I feel bad for him.
Why should he have to forgo seeing a movie because of a handicap? Would you kick a person with Tourette's syndrome out of the theater?
There is an accepted level of noise at a daytime showing of a kid's movie that is higher than other time or movies. Even a typical kid can exceed that noice level. Kids talking is normal, constant screaming so others can't hear the movie is not.
If someone is unable to follow the norms at a movie theater for any reason then they shouldn't go.
"If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough." ~ Sirleaf
No, not at all. Purely my own personal feelings since I do love this child and I sincerely want him to participate in community events and outings. I posted here because I had a feeling that I may be letting my personal feelings dictate my reaction. The poll may be confirming this for me. I just wanted some other opinions on the matter.┬Ā
Gotcha. I completely understand.
I got 99 problems, but makeup ain't one.
What happened was wrong. You can't expect to go to a public place and watch a movie in total silence. It isn't going to happen, and that kid has every right to be there. I would never kick anyone out of a theater for being loud, it's ridiculous.
What about someone with a really bad cough? What about someone with asthma? Someone that has to blow their nose a lot? Should they all be kicked out for being loud?

If we were talking about a $231 billion surplus this article would be meaningful. We are NOT. We are still so far away from a single balanced budget that people that write these ludicrous articles don't even cite the amount and that isn't even talking about the $16.5 trillion to $200 trillion we are in debt. In fact $231 billion doesn't even cover the interest on that debt!!!!
It's a crime that Dell wants to steal the company at a price of l3.65 a share. The company is worth at
the least $20.00 per share. I compliment ICann for try to stop this travesty and offer a much
superior bid for the Dell company stockholders.

So bad situation. I made a stupid decision and purchased my MIL's vehicle a 07 beetle. She got into a car accident, and it was decided she shouldn't drive anymore. I purchased the car in June 08. We agreed to a total purchase price of 10,000 - because the car had been in an accident it doesn't go for full retail value. I put 1400 down and agreed to make payments of $200 a month.
Two months later I find out I'm pregnant.... 1 month before the baby comes DH gets laid off. MIL says we don't have to make payments till DH gets a job...well that lasted all of 3 months then she started demanding money again. I just got off maternity leave my husband is unemployed, but she HAD to have her money so we agreed we would start paying her $100 a month- leaving us literally bone dry every month.
Well two months ago DH got a temp job, it lasted all of three weeks. She now wants full payments. Now DH no longer has this temp job, lost his unemployment because he took this full time temp job. Now she wants us to sell the car, we are over half way done paying her and she wants us to sell the car.
Not only does she want us to sell the car but she thinks she should get all of the money. (BTW this lady is frickin nutz, and there would be no greater pleasure in my life than to bitch slap her). She wants us to sell the car immediately like take it to Car Max. Well we took it in to get an estimate 9500, which means that in order to pay her the 4700 we still owe her on the car I would have to take a 500 loss. The title is in my name.
Sorry this was so long.
I was also wondering, if i take the car to do a trade in can I finance what I still owe her?

CLEVELAND -- Police are investigating a breaking and entering/petty theft/damage to city vehicle which occurred at 10225 St. Clair Avenue at the Cleveland Fire Station #30.
Police say the preliminary investigation reveals that this incident occurred between the hours of 3 a.m. and 9 a.m. Aug. 5.
Members of the fire department contacted police after they noticed two vehicles, both of which were parked in the fenced-in lot at Station 30, with damage to the fuel tank areas and wet pavement stemming from underneath both vehicles.
Further investigation revealed that a hole was cut into the western side of the fence.
One vehicle was a city vehicle -- a van assigned to parks and recreation -- and the other was the personal vehicle of a firefighter assigned to Station 30.
Both vehicles had been drained of fuel.
As a result of damages and theft, loss was estimated at $1,000 for each vehicle.

text: I ordered a pair of Gaerne Balance Oiled boots online and have worn them around the house some and they are about to kill my ankle bones. They must not be the latest versions as they don't have the black material sewn into the ankle bend gusset area on the outside of the ankle. They just have the 3 rows of stitching sewn in that area. Every time I take a step, the leather in that area takes a weird fold and bites into my ankle and makes it painful to walk at all in them. Here is what mine look like: Here is the one that I believe to be the newer version with the black material in the gusset area: I bought these because of the good reviews that I've read about them being as comfortable to walk in as to ride in and they are comfortable if I don't have to move my ankle as in walking or shifting or braking. But if I can't do that, what are they good for? They are too expensive to sit around the house and watch TV in them! I don't get it because people say they are as comfortable out of the box as a pair of hikers. Are the ones with the black gusset in them more comfortable? The ones I have might break in after some time but I don't know if I can wear them long enough to break them in......and if they don't break in, I'm stuck with $300+ boots that I won't want to wear. BTW, I tried the Gaerne Pro Tech's first and they didn't have a gusset in that area either and they were even more uncomfortable than the oiled boots. So I returned them and got these. The picture on the website showed the lower pictured boot but I received the boots pictured at the top. So I'm at a crossroad of what to do.......return them and try to get the other style elsewhere or take my chances on them breaking in before they break me down. What's your experience and/or thoughts?

United in Hope
Byline: by DOMINIC KING
[bar] IR ALEX Ferguson and Sir Bobby Charlton will lay a floral tribute to the 96 Hillsborough victims before the start of Liverpool's game with Manchester United tomorrow.
It is possible Ferguson and Charlton will make what will be a hugely emotional gesture in front of The Kop, although plans are still being finalised ahead of Liverpool's first match at Anfield since the release of the independent report into the April 1989 disaster.
Both Liverpool and United will come out wearing tracksuit tops with '96' on the back, while team captains Steven Gerrard and Nemanja Vidic will stand shoulder-to-shoulder and release 96 red balloons in memory of those who lost their lives.
A mosaic will also go up on three sides of Anfield to spell '96', 'Justice' and 'The Truth' during the singing of You'll Never Walk Alone, but there will not be a minute's applause or silence.
Kenny Dalglish will return to Anfield for the first time since he left in May, with his wife Marina, to show his support for the bereaved families.
Huge efforts have been made by both clubs in a bid to ensure the occasion passes without incident and Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is adamant the two sets of supporters will act in keeping with the occasion.
'This will be an emotionally charged game,' said Rodgers. 'I would not want to sit here and tell Liverpool supporters how to behave. They are educated in the values of humanity. The message has been clear from Sir Alex, too. It is important to pay our respects to the families.' A copy of Sir Alex's letter to the United supporters (below), urging them to respect the Hillsborough victims and their families, will be handed to every Old Trafford fan at the turnstiles.
Rodgers, meanwhile, has no doubt that Luis Suarez will shake hands with Patrice Evra if the two men come face-to-face. 'Enough has been said on that matter over the last year. Luis is a good guy and a good man. The time has come to move on. …

Canondale Road Warror 500 vs Cannondale Street 1000
I'm looking at a bike that will be used throught the British summer for commuting on heavy urban roads, 7 miles each way. It will also be used for the annual 2 week fully loded tour.
Has anyone any experience of either of the two bikes ?
The two frames are very similar, but are they identical in terms of geometry ?
Would the gearing on one bike be better for one thing and the gearing on the otherr better for the other ?
Also as the Road Warrior seems to have a much lower spec, not as good gears, not as good brakes, and none of the add on's such as mudguards (fenders in the USA), chain guard, dynamo, rack, lights, double sided peddles etc etc. how come the cost is almost identical ?
For thr Americans, the spec of both bikes can be found on the Cannondale site under European models, as if the City 1000 is available in the USA it's called something else.

Words from the Road, peta2 Style!
Wanna know what the peta2 outreach staff has been up to while out traveling the highways on the Silverstein "I Am Not A Nugget" tour? Are you prepared to feel unbelievably jealous while looking through oogles of sweet pics of delicious food? Check it out and don't say I didn't warn you…
The last week has been intense my friends and it's literally been sweet. We had a day off in Phoenix, AZ, and got to go to one of my favorite stops, Green, in Tempe, AZ. Since Marta likes to text me about the cookies she's not eating, I decided to get one fine strawberry soynami with two pecans on top, upon request, to blow cookies away. As you can tell, I was totally in love with this sweetie.

What he had to say impressed many. I thought it prudent to share it with readers, many of whom are sportsmen and women concerned about the almost constant efforts to infringe on their Second Amendment and other Constitutional rights.

We just got back from California and my son's cousins gave him a cold. It's his first one ever. When his nose started running he had this confused look on his face like "what the *uck" is this ????
Anyway when I told his Aunts that it was his first cold none of them believed me. WHy would I lie?
Of couse my 7month old daughter now has it but...my son had a good run until now :
ANyway, I wrote on facebook that my son was having a hard time with his first cold and moms on there were asking "really his first one??"
Why is this so hard to believe?
Has your January baby had a cold?

|General Site:
This college has a great Education program, it offers a lot of online classes as well as in-person. However, it is important to be aware you may not graduate in 4 years here.Read More
It is COLD! So if you are coming into Alaska out of state, prepare for a shell-shock. Keep in mind you will be walking to your classes around a pretty wide campus, so dress accordingly. Do your best to not take 8 am classes. Eat, for the love of God, eat, don't forget that or you will have zero energy and pass out half way through.Read More
I would suggest getting involved in whatever ways you can. There are a lot of campus jobs offered to students who are looking to work their way through college. There are also various clubs and sports teams for students to join. UAA is a community that allows you to do what you love alongside students who love the same things.Read More
Be open to others. People are very kind and giving here. There are going to be some bumpy roads while obtaining your degree like any other school. But like any other school, this will be the best and worst years to come. I am going to pursue a degree in music performance and so far I couldn't be happier with the amount of help I had from other professors I've had with my grades. Not too many professors care so much. Education is what you make of it and if you work hard, study and stay persistent then good things will happen for you. Try not to procrastinate and get all the work done as quickly and as accurately as possible. Be aware of your health care and financial aid because there has been experiences from numerous students of having complications of that. Plus, since most assignments are done online, sometimes computers don't work and can cause complications. Other than that work hard, be persistent in your goals and you will go far.Read More

Director Cam Archer's "Wild Tigers I Have Known" is a coming-of-age story of a 13 year-old boy who learns to cope with his newfound sexuality his unrequited love for the cool kid in school. His past work include shorts "American Fame Pt. 2: Forgetting Jonathan Brandis" "Godly Boyish" and "Bobbycrush." In his chat with indieWIRE, Archer talks about the surprises during filming that pleases him most, his coffee habit, and his likeness to Patti Smith and Josh Hartnett. IFC First Take opens the teen drama in limited release Wednesday, February 28.
Please introduce yourself...
I'm a 25 year-old male, I'm prone to depression and I live in Santa Cruz, California. I probably drink too much coffee. I enjoy bad weather. I'm also very tall, some say unusually tall--6'4'' I believe. I grew up in a nice house with my parents and my two brothers. My parents are still married and I still talk to my brothers. Oh, I'm an Aries, if that's helpful--I was born on April Fool's Day.
What initially attracted you to filmmaking, and how has that interest evolved during your career?
I've always liked still photography. I think my interest in film really did comes from my fascination with, and love for, the still image. Film has become the perfect medium for me because it allows me to connect all of these different, unique images and make them into one, occasionally solid, thing. It becomes a living thing, really.
Are there other aspects of filmmaking that you would still like to explore?
I'd love to write something for someone else. I think it would be great to act in something too. It would be such a new experience. Then again, I would probably be terrible, unless it was 'background.'
I always joke with my filmmaker friends that they should cast me...one day the jokes will have to end.
Please talk about how the initial idea for "Wild Tigers I Have Known" came about...
It happened quickly. I based the film off of my short, "Bobbycrush" and I based that film off of another project I had been working on, but never really told anyone about. So it was kind of a combination of the two, really. I wrote the script in five days, but the end result was nothing to brag about. The script was accepted into the Sundance Screenwriter's Lab, which proved to be the most rewarding experience I've had with this project.
Really, there was no one source where everything in the film came from. For example, there's a scene where the boys take a photograph of themselves with baseball bats. I took that photo with a friend as a kid. Does that mean everything in the film is from my own life? Hardly. I just wanted to make a film about being a lonely, daydreamer kid, and how a long-spent lonely childhood can lead to something of an identity crisis, or lack of identity. I think I achieved that fairly well.
Please elaborate a bit on your approach to making the film as well as your overall goals for the
We rented a house, turned each room into a set and started shooting here in Santa Cruz, California. My favorite moments that made it into the film were probably the least planned, and definitely not the product of any sort of goal. With this film, and most of the other projects I've done, I wait for the actors, or non-actors, to do something I could've never written. So I wait to be surprised. There's a naturalness to Malcolm that comes off in a really great way, and it was clear to me that many of these times didn't need to be messed up by some silly lyric I had taken and turned into dialogue.
There were times when we had 18 people on set and then there were times when it was just the actors, Aaron Platt (my cinematographer), Stephanie Volkmar (who's been doing costumes and styling for my films for years) and myself. I think it's important to keep things intimate. And there really is a difference between intimate and hurting. I hate the idea of making a film in front of an audience, and I've been on sets where it feels like that.
My goals? I'm not really sure. I don't know if I create clear goals when I'm making art. Scenes, or ideas for scenes either work, or they don't. Sure, you hope they work, but you must accept the things that don't work, otherwise you're not learning. A child of two educators, I seem to pride myself on the learning bit.
What were some of the biggest challenges you faced in either developing the project or making and securing distribution?
The film was in my control, always. I made a conscious decision to have it that way. I also didn't really know how to have it any other way. I'm starting to understand the importance of producers, thanks to Lars Knudsen and Jay Van Hoy, who came onto the film just after I had completed my terror of a first cut. Distribution was difficult, but not more than any other stage in making the film. IFC Films responded pretty early, which I thought was great, and at the same time, a little hard to believe. They've always known that this film is not for everyone, yet they've stuck by it. I'm quite fond of them, naturally.
How did the financing and/or casting for the film come together?
Julia Kim and I cast the film. She had just finished working on Larry Clark's "Wassup Rockers," and I emailed her to see if Larry had left behind a binder full of kids -- And in fact he had!
Julia remembered Malcolm Stumpf, who plays Logan in the film, from an audition some years back. Malcolm had only done one movie, "The Next Best Thing," where he played Madonna's son. I met with Malcolm and his mother and I liked both of them immediately. I think he was the first kid I met with, face to face--how fortunate, right?
Patrick White, who plays Rodeo, was the little brother of a friend of mine. I met with him once and knew he was right for the part. He seemed so genuine. realized very early on that Patrick is the kind of kid who would've never talked to me if we were the same age. How perfect, I thought.
We financed the film through individual investors. My good friend Djuna Bel raised a lot of the money. She's raised money for me in the past as well. She was, and still is, a saint for what she accomplished! There would be no 'Wild Tigers' without her. Other money came from friends and friends of friends. Scott Rudin helped too.
What are some of the creative influences that have had the biggest impact on you??
Music is my biggest influence. I was listening to a lot of The Jacobites and various '60s girl group stuff when I was writing the film. None of it ended up in the film, which is, I guess, not much of a surprise since the film was always changing.
Critics compare "Wild Tigers" to "Tarnation" fairly often, which I think is a bit odd. I really do love "Tarnation," but it was never a major influence on "Wild Tigers." Jonathan and I made such different works of art. Are our films unique, or somewhat unclassifiable? Sure. I made "Bobbycrush," and similar shorts, both in style and theme, long before I ever saw "Tarnation." If you look back at my early short films, it's clear that "Wild Tigers" is simply an extension of those works. I told Jonathan about the comparison and I think we both just laughed it off. People love comparing new things to something they've already seen before. Why can't something be new?
Again, still photographers, the still image, continue to influence my work. Work by people like Robert Frank, Nan Goldin, Sally Mann and other artists I was exposed to at school [influence me]. Everything I've done over the last four years comes initially from my love of stillness, or the still image.
What other genres or stories would like to explore as a filmmaker?
"Hard Action" comes to mind, but only because I like the way it sounds. I'm not even sure if it's a real genre, but a friend of mine did once mention it. In all honesty, the next few films I have in mind are subtle, depressing, performance-driven works. So...more of the same for me, really.
What is your next project?
"Pull" is my next project, which is about a woman who suffers from a hair pulling disorder called trichotillomania. Sissy Spacek is attached to play the lead in the film, which I could not be more thrilled about. I'm really ready to make this film. I hope it surprises people and, again, I hope I surprise myself while making it. We would like to shoot the film later this year.
What is your definition of "independent film," and has that changed at all since you first started working?
No permits, no money and poor craft services (if any). It can also be a state of mind, I guess. There's no one way to define it.
I saw copies of "Men in Black 2" for sale at a 99-cent store in Los Angeles recently and it really was a wonderful thing to see. Damn. That's independent. There was such a spirit, a real energy to that wall of shrink-wrapped Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. I thought to myself, things are changing...
What are some of your all-time favorite films, and why? What are
some of your recent favorite films?
It changes all the time. I'm pretty obsessed with Woody Allen's, "Another Woman." I watched it seven times last year and I'm not sure why, exactly. It probably has a lot to do with Gena Rowlands, who I think gives a flawless performance in the film. I also love that it's about a woman who comes to the realization that very few people like her. It's just...such a revealing, beautiful film. The film I'm writing now, which I hope to do after "Pull," is very much inspired by that film.
"3 Women" will always be on my list. I loved "Weapons" at Sundance this year--it is not to be missed! I also love Kevin Everson's films, "Cinnamon" must be released! I seek out artist's that inspire and shock me at the same time. It's so wonderful to watch an artist grow, or try something new. "Inland Empire" blew my mind, just like I thought it would. "Paranoid Park," Gus Van Sant's new film, is such a tremendous work of art! I can't wait for that film to be released to the world.
What are your interests outside of film?
Coffee, tea, reading, riding my bike and listening to music. I'm not so secretly middle-aged, I guess. Oh, I'm very into Fleetwood Mac. That takes up a lot of my time.
What general advice would you impart to emerging filmmakers?
Do not obey anything.
Will you please share an achievement from your career so far that you are most proud of?
I was in Idaho at a film festival earlier this year and I got told that I look like Patti Smith. Another time, at Sundance, I got told I look like Josh Hartnett. It's the best of both worlds, right?

Rise Above Aerials Carboncore 1000 Octo build
Here is the build log for a CarbonCore 1000 Octo that I am building. I offer build services through my website Riseaboveaerials.com.
Check out my carboncore quad and hexa build logs also
DJI electronics
Carboncore frames
T-motor 2814-11
11" wood props (maybe use 12")
DYS 40A simonk flashed esc
When building it, I kept a few things in mind:
1. Cleanliness: where possible I keep all escs and wiring between the two main plates to keep the build looking nice and clean, while still allowing the frame to fold. All esc's are oversized to help with cooling. It is worth noting that so far it seems this can only be done when using aftermarket landing gear, as the carboncore gear mounts where you would likely put all your electronics. I am planning to use an Askman landing gear and gimbal on this frame; they are awesome.
2. redundancy in batteries; I have wired the two power boards together, as well as having a battery for each board. This still allows both boards to be powered by one battery in case of battery failure.
Here is the power board all wired up, using voltair power boards. 4 escs per board, wired up like an X quad. In case a board fails, the remaining 4 motors will be spinning as an X quad format; this should stop it falling from the sky like a brick.
Here is the bottom plate wired up with all escs, and the power boards. I cut the standoffs shorter to fit 2 powerboards in between the centre plates. The powerboard was insulated from the carbon fibre before I put the top plate on.
will update the post when I receive my replacement Wookong MC and finish the build

Ok so I received the replacement DJI eletronics this afternoon and installed them all. Basic wookong setup with addition of a data link for waypoint control.
Spektrum ar8000 receiver & telemetry module are only mounted temporarily for now.
Also yet to mount the remaining 4 arms of the top crash cage to allow ease of access to electronics.
I'll post up a video once I've done the test flight

yep I'm really happy with the frame. Was having issues with the motor mounts being too thin but they have upgraded them on the newer frames.
Still haven't gotten a camera gimbal on it yet, but that is coming soon!

It wasn't as close a race as most political observers thought it would be. Hell it wasn't even close at all. Current King County Elections Director Sherril Huff won today's special election, by an insurmountable margin.
Initial vote totals were posted on the King County Elections Office website. Huff took in 44 percent of the 173,500 votes counted so far.
David Irons Jr. is currently in second place with 19 percent. State Senator Pam Roach received nearly 17 percent. None of the other three candidates running, Bill Anderson, Christopher Clifford and Julie Kempf received more than ten percent.
Huff had been appointed to the position by outgoing King County Executive Ron Sims and enjoyed the advantage of being the incumbent in the race. She was also endorsed by the King County Democratic Party.
Speaking on the phone with Huff almost immediately after the results were posted, she seemed obviously elated and relieved. The excited chatter of ebullient staffers could be heard in the background from the King County Election's Renton vote center, since the director was still managing the office right up through the election.
"I feel wonderful about it," Huff gushed. "I wasn't sure what to expect, right down until they brought me the results."
Asked about the low voter numbers, Huff grew a little more somber stating that it was disappointing that there wasn't more of a turnout. The fact that this election came just three months after last November's historic presidential race is a factor. As were the holidays.
"What we generally find in elections like this is there are the ones who will always vote in special elections," Huff explained. "It's always disappointing when we don't have a good turnout. But I'm pleased with the outcome."
This is the first time the King County electorate has chosen an Elections Director, finally bringing it into line with the 38 other counties in the state. Now that the office is completely independent of the Executive, and now beholden directly to the people, Huff said she is comfortable with bringing some changes into place.
She offered the standard lines about looking at new innovations, reform and new technology. The Election Office's optical scanners used to tabulate mail-in votes are 15-years old. Huff also said that she'd like to triple the number of drop-off locations so voters could have more options to deposit their mail-in ballots; handy for those who wait until the last dog is hung and can't make it to a Post Office before voting on a Tuesday night.
As for the issue of poll voting, Huff said the county-wide vote-by-mail elections are here to stay. Gone is the quaint tradition of heading down to the local elementary school or Grange Hall to pull the lever. Only three "Accessible Voting" stations were open this election, allowing voters with special needs and voters who, for whatever reason, didn't receive a ballot to exercise their franchise in person.
At least for this election, the Accessible Voting machines in Renton were empty tonight and staff say they were not hardly used throughout the race.
Challenger David Irons Jr. couldn't be reached for comment on Tuesday night. Last week, however, Irons spoke with the Seattle Weekly, and remarked about the number of qualified candidates who had actually run for the position.
The 173,500 ballots counted thus far represent about 15.5 percent of the 1.1 million ballots mailed out twenty days ago. Returns have been sluggish up to and including election night. 24,000 ballots came in on Tuesday. It will be a few days until all the ballots dropped off in local Post Office reach the elections center. And weeks before ballots mailed from overseas come home.
Barring any completely redonkulous vote totals, Huff will continue at her job until 2011. There is a residency challenge by opposing candidate Clifford, alleging that Huff is not legally able to hold the position claiming she was not a legal resident of King County before the candidate filing deadline. Huff moved from Bremerton to Seattle by a whisker thin margin around the date. The King County Canvassing Board denied Clifford's challenge but time will see how further legal issues proceed.

Sharon Poczatek knows many people would call her rich. Others might say her high income constitutes a just reward for hard work.
All she knows for certain is that her successful Boulder dental practice has her contemplating the fairness of government asking quarter-million-dollar earners to pay higher taxes.
When President Barack Obama first proposed tax hikes on the wealthy to start closing the budget gap, Poczatek had what she calls a "knee-jerk" idea of cutting back her practice to lower her income from $320,000 to just below the $250,000 trigger.
From the moment her musings went public on a national news website, backers of the increase chastised her for not understanding the tax code. Opponents embraced her as evidence that the proposal would destroy incentive and cost jobs.
"I'm not that political," said Poczatek, 57. "I wasn't anybody's poster child. I was trying to figure it out too."
At the heart of all the number crunching lies another, less precise calculation: What constitutes wealthy in America?
The $250,000 income cutoff has become a near-mythical figure in American politics, setting up a heated and sometimes highly personal debate.
Joe the Plumber's give and take with Obama helped draw the line during the 2008 campaign, and the president invoked it again with his Feb. 1 budget proposal. The administration wants Bush-era tax cuts made permanent for most income groups, while taxing income over $250,000, after deductions, at a higher rate.
So the line has been drawn — but what does that kind of money look like in Colorado? How many taxpayers make that much? Although relatively wealthy by raw statistical measure, do those residing above 250K consider themselves rich?
"One of the things we know about people is their consumption expectations uniformly expand to fill their income," said Jeffrey Zax, a professor of economics at the University of Colorado at Boulder. "But there's strong social pressure not to think of ourselves as wealthy. There's a fair amount of self-deception going on here."
Statistically, policymakers have paid more attention to defining poverty levels than higher strata of wealth. But some numbers provide at least a wide-angle snapshot of the relative financial landscape.
In Colorado, median income hovered at $57,184 in 2008, about 10 percent higher than the national figure, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. In line with the rest of the country, an income of $250,000 or more put you in the top 2.5 percent of taxpayers.
Neither Denver's mayor nor Colorado's governor makes the list, but some jobs paying in the $250,000 range include Denver's director of aviation, the University of Denver hockey coach, the superintendent of Aurora Public Schools, and the CU-Boulder athletic director.
Are they rich? Or, as some define that income range, simply middle class?
Life experience likely figures into anyone's self-definition. Poczatek, the Boulder dentist, grew up in Chicago, the daughter of a factory worker whose financial goal echoed the middle-class mantra: Give our children a better life.
As she considers where her income places her on the American financial hierarchy, she settles on a designation of "upper middle class" and ascribes it to her upbringing — a sense that you earn your rewards.
"I worked hard and I made it," Poczatek said. "I'm not a 'trust-afarian.' That, to me, is rich: People who aren't producing something but have wealth. We go to work every day to get that income, so I think of myself as upper middle class.
"But then suddenly you're 'rich.' It's like, how did that happen?"
Rich get richer; others dream
Comparatively speaking, higher income brackets have fared best over the past three decades. The top-earning one-fifth of Americans saw real income — what they make after adjusting for inflation — rise 75 percent in the 30 years up to 2006, according to Congressional Budget Office figures. The top 1 percent enjoyed a 90 percent increase.
The poorest one-fifth of Americans saw their real income go up 1 percent over that same span.
Still, everybody dreams.
In 2003, when a Gallup poll asked Americans whether they expected to be rich, more than 20 percent of those who were making less than $30,000 a year said it was very or somewhat likely.
When the poll asked respondents to define "rich," the median figure among all of those surveyed was a household income of $122,000.
Any definition of well-off plays out differently depending on geography, said Roberton Williams of the Tax Policy Center, a think tank in Washington, D.C.
About 2.2 million U.S. couples make between $250,000 and $500,000. A Manhattan family might pay $5,000 a month in rent and have three children in private school.
"It's not extraordinarily rich," Williams said. "By New York standards, you're getting by. By Topeka standards, you're doing very well. In Denver, you're somewhere in between."
Transferred executives and professionals may well find Colorado a bargain, said Dolores Mozer, director of relocation for Fuller Sotheby's International Realty in Greenwood Village. A family with a $250,000 cost of living in Huntington Beach, Calif., will pay only $201,000 for the same life style in Denver, according to the company's relocation calculator.
"I find it hard to believe someone making $250,000 a year is living paycheck to paycheck," said Marjean Richmond, a counselor with Fuller Sotheby's.
Taxpayers in the $200,000 to $500,000 range of income would pay an average of $800 more in taxes under the Obama proposal, according to the Tax Policy Center in Washington, D.C.
Individual circumstances vary, of course, but in general, someone in the $250,000 income bracket could look at homes in the $750,000-to-$1 million range, according to George Leonard, a managing broker at Your Castle Real Estate.
"We're getting back to the old parameters of lending — 20 percent down, good credit scores, no high debt," Leonard said. "Used to be, if you could fog a mirror, you got a loan. Now you have to prove you deserve a loan."
That price range could, in Denver, put you in neighborhoods like Observatory Park, Hilltop or Cherry Creek. Leonard considers clients in this income range "upper-middle class — right on the verge of upper-middle and upper, right on the cusp. They don't like to be considered upper class."
Some overspend big salaries
An individual's sense of relative wealth often comes tempered by levels of debt. Economists now say much of the boom in the 2000s was financed by middle-class and wealthier consumers using rising home value as cash machines, taking on home-equity debt to pay for college and buy cars, boats, vacation condos and other luxuries.
"Without a doubt, we have seen clients who have been destroyed financially because they drank the Kool-Aid of ever-increasing real estate values and believed there was no end in sight," said Craig Carnick, a longtime financial planner in Colorado Springs.
Another planner reviewed his clients in the $250,000 income range and figured they fall into two categories: About 80 percent have followed sound financial advice, paid down mortgages and strengthened their balance sheet.
"The other 20 percent might be earning that amount, but it goes right out the door," said Matthew Kelley of Gold Medal Waters, a Boulder-based firm. "What does that mean? Trips around the world a couple times a year, second home in the mountains. They tend to be more spendy."
Wealth doesn't bring wisdom
When it comes to that middle-class ideal of college, a $250,000 income buys families a ticket into financial no-man's-land. They may not feel rich enough to write a check to CU-Boulder for $20,059 a year to cover tuition and room and board. But at the same time, they won't qualify for financial aid beyond an unsubsidized student loan of about $3,500, said CU financial aid director Gwen Pomper.
Some families at that level still haven't managed to save for college, so parents apply for their own loans for up to the full tuition every year, she added.
Poczatek has seen three kids through private colleges. She sees expenses rise at her dental practice and knows she can't simply pass all the costs on to her patients because there's only so much their insurance will pay.
She's not cutting back her practice, but she says she feels "like the little guy" — a taxpayer watching political theater addressing matters mostly out of her control. She doesn't mind paying her fair share of taxes but wonders where it will all end.
Yet as she considers her personal economic status, her self-perception shifts as she holds it up to the statistical breakdown of wealth in America.
"The divide is so great," Poczatek said. "Maybe that's something I'm dealing with now: I'm not upper-middle class, but rich. We're more than surviving. We're thriving and flourishing."

"Ellada, Ellada, mana tou kaimou" Greece by Aitana
Greece Travel Guide: 28,458 reviews and 84,357 photos
In 1992 I went to Greece for the first time. It was January. I had gone to work in a project in Akrata, in the prefecture of Achaia, for six months.
Athens was my first contact with Greece and I have to recognize that I didn't like it at all that first time. It was cold and cloudy, nothing to do with the idea I had about the bright and light city. I was really disappointed, and I admit that I was frightened: if this was Athens, the capital, what could I expect of the village I'd be living in?
But after a weekend in Athens, my fellow student and me took a bus to go to Egio (Aigio), where someone was waiting for us. Along the way, as we left Athens and the industrial populations nearby and we entered the Peloponnese, everything changed. I began to see a different country. The road runs between the mountains and the coastline. The sun was shining and the villages I saw were white and bright.
As I said before, I stayed six months in Akrata. During this time I went several times to Athens and I have to say that I began to see the city with different eyes. Now, I indeed like it. A weekend in Athens with an Athenian friend was decisive. She took me to the Megaro Mousikis (Palace of Music) to see Electra of Richard Strauss. She also showed me the best of Athens: the National Pinacothec, Kalimarmaro, the Ancient Olympic Stadium, the First Cemetery (Proto Necrotafio)… We also went to Piraeus and Kyfissia. From then on, I see Athens as a beautiful city. Omorfi poli, as the song says…
I had the opportunity to visit many places, especially in the Peloponnese. We used to make short weekend trips and we visited Corinth, Kalavrita, Olympia, Nafplio, Mycenae and Epidaurus… Nafplio seemed to me the most beautiful town in Greece (and after some visits, I still think the same). We also visited the island of Zakynthos, Meteora and Delphi.
It was 1992, the year of the Olympic Games of Barcelona. In June we went to Olympia for the lighting of the Olympic Flame that would come to Spain. This was very moving for me. At the end of my stay in Greece, I visited Crete and Santorini.
Patras and Egio were places we visited often. We collaborated with a consulting placed at Egio and we used to go once a week to meet the responsible for the project. Patras is a city I like quite a lot. As it was the closest big city, we used to go often. So, we saw all the preparations for the Carnival during several weeks, and finally the parade. I have visited Patras some years later and it has changed quite a lot, many streets in the city center have transformed and also the areas close to the harbor.
In the last years I have visited Greece in several occasions. I have travelled sometimes with a friend of mine (also a philhellene) as in a road movie, but I have also stayed for some weeks in Patras, a kind of short stage at the University. I have visited friends from the past, but I have also visited new places: Thesaloniki, Larisa, Volos, Mount Pilion, Nafpaktos, Monemvasia, Sparta, Mystras, Kerkyra (Corfu), Cefalonia…
Paco and I married in 2006. For our honeymoon, he chose a cruise that had stopovers in three Greek islands (Mykonos, Rodos & Santorini) and Piraeus.
Last summer we travelled again to Greece: I attended a conference in Crete Island. As I had just seen Heraklion and Agios Nikolaos in my first visit, this time we travelled also to the west, visiting also Chania and Rethymno.
The knowledge of the language helps to communicate and to move around, of course. But Greek people are kind and friendly and no matter if you don't know a word in Greek, they will manage to communicate and to help you.

At the Sodexho-operated dining>"/>
Seattle Pacific University and Seattle University are running two very different dining programs, and the proof is in the peanut butter.
At the Sodexho-operated dining hall at Seattle Pacific University, the peanut butter is plentiful, piled into a container alongside a similar bin holding globs of grape jelly. Across town at Seattle University, where the cafeteria's administered by the same company which oversees the canteens at Amazon and the Gates Foundation, the sophisticated peanut butter buffet includes orange marmalade, marionberry jam, and apricot jam, ready to be spread on house-baked bread.
According to The Daily Beast, the two very different dining halls represent the best in college eats. Both schools this month were named to a top-20 "best food" list. Although the website's methodology isn't completely clear, the scores were apparently determined through student rankings, local restaurant counts, and the percentage of the school's food budget devoted to local and organic ingredients.
Like most contemporary dining halls, Seattle Pacific University has done away with its trays to conserve dishwashing water and reduce food waste. But the cafeteria, which serves 1,350 students, is otherwise very much like the cafeteria most college grads remember. Students queue at stations devoted to pizza, burgers, comfort food, and "international food," which this Monday meant a mashed-potato bowl with 1600 miligrams of sodium. For dessert, there are chocolate-covered strawberries, ice cream, and brownies. "We go through 1,200 chocolate chip cookies at lunch," general manager Kim Karstens says.
SPU's cafeteria hews closely to standards set by Sodexo, which means its menus are handed down from corporate offices and most of its food comes from Sysco. Many of the dishes are overly sweet, such as a signature "smokehouse pizza" slathered in barbecue sauce, and vegetables are commonly overcooked. But the breads and soups prepared in-house are quite good, including a crackly cheese crisp and an oniony lentil spinach soup that presages post-graduation meals. (Members of the public can buy an all-you-can-eat dinner pass for $12.05.)
"We buy local and organic as much as we can," Karstens says. "We try for sustainability and variety. On our salad bar, we'll run multiple legumes."
The dining hall has also upped fruit consumption by putting apples and bananas in bins and relaxing rules preventing students from taking fruit out of the cafeteria. Still, many students have different culinary priorities.
"This gives you the worst breath ever," a male student told a friend in the salad bar line, motioning at a certain salad dressing. "You've got to do it."
Students at SPU buy cafeteria access by the meal, so trying to achieve halitosis through salad dressing carries no monetary risk. At Seattle University, where more than 20 percent of the school's 7,000 students lunch at the main dining hall, every item is individually priced. The increasingly popular "declining balance" system requires students to deposit a lump sum in their dining accounts, against which every latte and salmon cake is assessed.
"There are still a lot of schools that do all you can eat, but that's an incentive for cheap food," says Buzz Hofford, resident district manager for Bon Appetit, the Palo Alto company in charge of Seattle University's cafeterias. "Declining balance enables us to provide a lot more choices."
Bon Appetit's 400 cafeterias nationwide have leeway to establish their own menus, but must observe corporate sustainability guidelines. At least half of the ingredients used at Seattle University are sourced from within 150 miles. On Tuesday, the menu included grilled salmon from Lummi Island ($8.95), summer squash linguine ($5.95), and chile rellenos made with Beecher's Flagship cheddar and charred yellow tomato salsa ($6.75). The salad bar was stocked with wheatberries, pickled beans, patty pan squash, roasted parsnips, and farro, all with local provenances.
"One of our biggest challenges here is we're surrounded by competition," Hofford says of the schools' 12th Avenue location. "We've got to keep prices competitive."
Most everything served at Seattle University is pretty terrific. It's hard to gripe about under-salted kale in a college cafeteria, or wishing there was wine to pair with the salmon. Seattle University's food inspires those kinds of grown-up thoughts, which Hofford says is intentional: By rescinding the trough model, Bon Appetit is trying to teach students how to eat like adults.
"When the freshmen come in, they gravitate toward the grill, they gravitate toward the pizza," he says. "But we expose them to other foods."
According to café manager Johan Austneberg, 15 pizzas--featuring a sauce made from local tomatoes, carrots, and celery and crust made from Idaho flour--will usually suffice for lunch. "They really mix it up," he says.
In addition to making sure there's always freshly grilled salmon available, Hofford regularly addresses students on issues relating to sustainability and nutrition.
"By the time they leave here, they're educated culinarily," he says. "They've established eating patterns for the rest of their lives."

Seattle police officers had shown up for domestic-violence calls at Jennifer Kolone's house before. But never for anything involving a bloody scrotum.
Jennifer Kolone
King County prosecutors contend Jennifer Marie Kolone cut her 40-year-old boyfriend's testicles in the early hours of May 24 during a fight at their North Seattle home. According to charging documents, the man received a "W"-shaped knife wound requiring several stitches, surgical glue and a "scrotal support" to close.
Apparently Kolone and her boyfriend were fighting when he says that she began throwing things at him. Eventually she turned her attention to his family jewels, allegedly grabbing his scrotum and squeezing its delicate contents.
It's unclear how the "knife wound" came about, but needless to say the attack left the boyfriend incapacitated.
He apparently thought he'd peed himself, but when he went to the bathroom found his sack had been sliced.
She's now been charged with third-degree assault.
Interestingly, Kolone's Facebook page lists The Steve Wilkos Show (a Jerry Springer spin-off) as one of her favorite shows.
Something tells us that she might be invited on the program with this story.
