Post subject: Childhood Ain't What It Used to Be.
I found the following post on Usenet, of all places. (Usenet is not really known for any kind of depth.) Anyway, even though it's expressed in a snarky way, some of it is arguable, and -- no doubt -- looks at things with rose-colored glasses, I found myself smiling and remembering:
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1940's, 50's, 60's and 70's!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a van - loose - was always exciting and great fun.
We drank water from the garden hose or tap and NOT from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle or can and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cakes, white bread and real butter and drank cordial with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem ..
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, No video games at all, No 99 channels,No Pay TV, No cable, No DVD movies or surround sound.
It's crazy! We even had
No mobile phones, No text messaging, No personal computers, No Internet or Internet chat rooms.........
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke Bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
We played with worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
Made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we didn't poke out anyone's eye.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!
Local teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all!
And YOU are one of them!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.
and while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with your eyes shut holding a pair of scissors, doesn't it?!
P.S. And then someone said:
We can add to the list:
We were bullied as kids and none of us considered going home to get a semi-automatic to blow away the bullies. We all grew up okay.

--Um...not in my house, we didn't. My parents made sure everyone who rode in their cars buckled up.
We ate cakes, white bread and real butter
--Um...again, not in my house. We were a natural foods vegetarian household. Why would we eat crappy processed white bread?
We were bullied as kids and none of us considered going home to get a semi-automatic to blow away the bullies.
--No, but I wished they'd all step in front of cars and die and spent years thinking there was something wrong with me because everyone hated me in junior high and high school.
Reality has a well-known liberal bias.

You know what I did as an a 8-year old?
Well, back then, neighborhood kids knocked on doors and asked other neighborhood kids to come out and play, see. So I very happily hopped on my bike once and followed these older kids around as they devised bike "challenges" for themselves. Ended up hurtling down a big downhill street and falling flat on my face, on the cement ,as the wheels of my bike spun out on a patch of gravel. Broke half my permanent front teeth and my parents had to be called home from work to meet me in the emergency room (some other kid's mom took me). Not to worry, my parents knew a good (but expensive) dentist. Can you imagine kids having childhood accidents like that today?
Also, my parents allowed me to go to as many sleepovers as I wanted to - where we got up to all sorts of nonsense - and didn't background-check my friends.

As a child, I lived within line of sight of my elementary school. It's maybe a five-minute walk, no dangerous roads to cross. My Mom walked me to school for the first two or three weeks of first grade, then I told her, "It's okay, Mom. I know the way and can go on my own." And she let me. And my Mom was considered one of the more cautious mothers. Other kids lived further off and would still ride their bikes to school, unaccompanied, even though they had to cross busy roads or ride along busy roads with no separate bike lane. And they somehow managed to do that without getting themselves killed.
Nowadays, when I visit my parents (they still live in the same house), I see their neighbours walk their children to the same elementary school I went to every morning and pick them up again every noon. And those kids are in the third or fourth grade.

I was born in the 1970s and grew up mostly on an Israeli kibbutz. I lived in a children's house from a very young age, and we were on our own constantly and generally were up to no good
. Once a week they'd give us half a bar of chocolate (healthy!) and let us loose in the early afternoon. We'd go exploring in the woods or build little camps to play in. Parents today, I'm guessing, would be too concerned about snakes, injury, pedophiles, terrorists, or all of the above. But we had a fantastic time.
I ate junk food at school, drank pop cans on a regular basis, drink from the tap, rode without a seatbelt, and not only did I play with mud, as a toddler I certainly ate mud and grass. So yes, I basically did almost everything on that list (except my mom never smoked) and as others have suggested, it seems to have done no harm.

We caught snakes in a nearby ravine with a creek; kept them in match-boxes. Played kick-the-can under the streetlights until those with curfews--very few--were called in. I was a latch-key kid and never thought a thing about it. Because my dad was on strike, both he and my mom worked, so I got myself to school (at 9 a.m.), had an hour for lunch, which I fixed for myself, and had little or no adult supervision after school for several hours. I learned to take care of myself, to feed myself, even to wash and iron clothes if necessary, to be independent. Good training.

A similar list circulated here in Austria and Germany a while ago.... while I agree with some of it, I might add that my parents taught me to belt in from the start (and they were among the first to use a children's seat in their car). One of the clearest memories of my childhood is the horrible accident of a family we were friendly with, where the children did not all wear seatbelts - half of the family died. Made a big impression on me so I am not all that nostalgic about that!
As for the tab water, I still drink that. Of course, I am fortunate that I live in an area with excellent water, but even apart from that, I strongly feel that Plastic bottles are wrong....very bad for the environement!!

Up to the early to mid 1980s, the cars my parents drove usually didn't even have seatbelts in the backseat, though my parents made me buckle up whenever there were seatbelts. And while my parents claim that I had a child car seat, I cannot remember ever sitting in one, which means that they only used it until I was two at most. Plus, one of my earliest memories is sitting on the backseat of my Dad's car and being hurled forward during a sharp brake maneuver to bump my head on a fire extinguisher that was mounted between the two front seats. That means that by that point I was no longer in a car seat and obviously the car didn't have seatbelts in the back. Compare that to today, where children as old as eight are still made to sit in child seats.
Regarding water, I do drink tap water (we have good water as well), but I also buy bottled mineral water. However, I only buy mineral water in reusable glass bottles. It's heavier, but actually cheaper than the same water of the same brand sold in plastic bottles. Plus, it tastes better, is healthier (substances used in plastic bottles can end up in the water) and is better for the environment.

I've seen this before and unfortunately, it combines things which may have done no harm and things which are truly harmful. Plus it says that somehow people that were born during these decades are better.
I'm not feeding my grandbabies lead paint, or leaving them unbuckled. The infant mortality rate in 1950 was one in seven, and now it's one in two hundred. Some of this can be accounted for by improved medical procedures, or whatever, but still one of the biggest killers in those age groups is accidents. So, for every six of us still around who didn't get killed, there's one who isn't around to celebrate how lucky they were. And, since I was born in one of the decades listed, I'm old enough to know that every generation has it's share of risk takers, problem solvers and inventors, and law breakers, cheaters and bums, too.

Certainly lead paints are bad and it's best to be buckled in the car. But I think the overall point is that in many areas, we are overly cautious today with children - and by being so we deny them certain experiences that might be good for them in the long run (and that they might enjoy
I'm not sure where you got your statistics on infant mortality rates but they seem really off. I was curious and looked it up online:
The CDC
lists 8.7 post-neonatal deaths per thousand as of 1950 (that's in the 28 days-11 months old category) compared with 2.3 as of 2002. The big drop was actually between 1940 and 1950 - down from over 18 to less than 9, or from about 2% to just under 1% (scroll down to table 1). I'm also confused as to what this has to do with childhood accidents. Isn't it true that when infants die it is usually due to illness, pre-existing medical conditions, sudden infant death syndrome and other medical issues? In Israel, where I live, the rate was 8.1 per thousand (same age group) in the first half the 1970s - mostly due to the causes I listed, and down to 1.8 per thousand for the first half of this decade (source:
Central Bureau of Statistics
). Of course every death of a baby or child is tragic - but at least in the second half of the 20th century and up until today, they are not and were not as common as you suggest.
I agree that we need to be careful and not expose children and babies to unneccessary hazards and dangerous conditions - I just think that the hazardous category has gotten overly broad.

I just read a similar "lament" in the newspaper, by a pretty snarky writer --- he added that when he was young, no women shaved her legs or under her arms (that was true well into the 80s here in Austria, and I am certain, in other parts of Europe as well)....
I do think a lot of people are over cautious with their children. At the same time, there seems to be little supervision of teenagers - it's an odd mixture, really. So parents will pick up their children from primary school (I always walked home by myself or rather, with the other children), but their teenagers will hang out in the mall all day after school. When I was a teenager (in the 80s/early 90s), I could not come and go as I liked. It wasn't that my parents were extremely strict or anything, but hanging out in the mall was not on. Nor would I have liked to do it - I still don't *get* why anyone would loiter around a mall! (well, I can barely bring myself to enter one, as it is)...

I see this list as being a bit tongue-in-cheek -- a reaction against the extra caution prevalent in some parts of society.
Just yesterday on the news, there was another story about an outbreak of childhood diseases that had been under control as a result of vaccinations -- in this case measles. Some parents are under the impression (false, in my mind) that their children are becoming autistic because of vaccinations. So, in trying to avoid that, they are risking their children contracting other diseases, and, in the process, putting others at risk too. These are parents who can't remember what it was like to deal with these diseases and so think they can be managed.
Another issue is the over use of antibiotics to the point where, in response, a super strain of bugs are developing that will not respond to the typical antibiotics we had been giving. Another issue related to this is the over use of antibacterial soaps, once again leading to germs that can overcome them. A doctor I know reported that his hospital is actually warning against the use of these soaps.
It's certainly good that we are raising our families in comparatively safer environments but, on the other hand, our children are not developing the immunities they once did as a result of that previous exposure. It's all a bit of a mixed blessing.
Adding another issue to the mix is psychology and perception. With the advent of 24 hour news, we are learning about every possible incident that occurs in the world, ad nauseum, no matter its relevance to us. We hear about a sexual assault in Oregon which is milked for all it is worth by the media and, as a result, parents in Florida are keeping their kids in doors.

Personally, I blame the Americans for this whole war on female (and male) body hair. Because when I visited relatives in the US in the late 1980s, all the teenaged girls and young women were obsessively shaving their legs, which no German woman did at the time (some did shave their armpits, usually to reduce sweating). A couple of years later, the leg shaving thing came to Europe, then they started shaving elsewhere and then even men started shaving their chests and legs. A pity, cause male body hair is sexy.
I just hope that this fashion for the removal of body hair will pass soon.

The thing that really strikes me in this post is the playing outside until the streetlights came on. We had a whole gang of kids we all played with - hide and seek, tag, baseball in front of the house, Red Rover - well you get the picture - all kinds of games. Now I rarely see kids on the street playing any more - and I think that is really sad. They don't know the hours and hours of fun they are missing.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Cali Farquharson scored two goals and Holland Crook and Sara Tosti added one goal each to lead the Arizona State women's soccer team to a 4-0 win over Southern Utah on Sunday at the Cats Classic hosted by the University of Arizona.
After failing to score for the first time this season in Friday's 1-0 overtime loss to No. 24 Texas Tech, the Sun Devils (5-2) responded by tying their season high in goals scored while posting their third shutout of the season.
"Southern Utah had a good game plan and played us in the same system as Texas Tech did on Friday to try and cause us problems," said ASU head coach Kevin Boyd. "We changed our system and played better after we did that."
Despite the adjustment, Boyd acknowledged that the Sun Devils still did not have the same zip they had the first few weeks of the season.
"Our struggle this weekend I think was about us," Boyd explained. "We were fatigued and lacked energy and our thoughts and our touches were off. It showed Friday night and it showed today. Southern Utah made it difficult for us and so credit to them, but at times we made it really hard on ourselves. I'm really happy we got the win today. I'm glad we scored some goals. I want us to go back and find our energy and our legs and get our game back on the field."
Farquharson and Devin Marshall teamed up for the game's first goal in the 13th minute when Marshall played in Farquharson, who got behind Southern Utah's defense. Farquharson took Marshall's pass and sent a shot past Thunderbird goalkeeper Elyssa Hashimoto to give ASU the early lead.
Farquharson would help set up ASU's next goal in the 30th minute when a Southern Utah defender grabbed her jersey in the penalty area as she was trying to get a touch during a Sun Devil set piece. Crook would drill the ensuing penalty kick, her first goal of the season, to extend ASU's lead to 2-0.
Crook, who came into this week's action ranked fourth in the nation in assists, recorded her sixth assist of the season in 69th minute when she set up Tosti's second goal of the season. Crook headed the ball to Tosti who was a step ahead of two Thunderbird defenders. Tosti took Crook's pass in stride and then flicked the ball from just inside the box over Hashimoto's reach for the goal.
Farquharson would close out the scoring in the 77th minute when she took a pass from Jasmine Roth 10 yards past midfield, then cut in-between two defenders and raced toward the goal before lacing a shot from the top of the box into the back of the net for her team leading ninth goal of the season.
For Farquharson, who had her school record of scoring at least one goal in eight consecutive games (going back to last season) come to an end in Friday's loss vs. Texas Tech, Sunday's outing represented the third time this season that she scored two goals in a game.
After three consecutive two-game weekends, the Sun Devils will have back-to-back weeks in which they will play only one game, starting with Friday's non-conference finale against Boise State. ASU will then open Pac-12 play the following week (Sun., Sept. 29) when it hosts USC.
"We need a break, we need the rest," said Boyd. "Having only one game each of the next two weekends will be really good for us."
Game time for Friday's contest vs. Boise State at Sun Devil Soccer Stadium is 4:30 p.m. The game can be seen live on Pac-12 Networks.

On Thursday nights the lounge is hosting a ladies' night that will feature free wine from 10 – 11 p.m. and $3 drinks for ladies until midnight. There is no cover.
On Saturdays there will be a theme night that is run by a group called Rehab Orlando (curious name for a group putting on a lounge event). I haven't gotten much more information on the night other than it starts tomorrow and it's DJ-focused. I'll be stopping by and will let you know what it's all about. Again no cover.
There is a weekly Sunday brunch and iMansion will host a variety of themes on occasion. The first themed brunch will take place on Nov. 1 and be called "The Detox Brunch: Cure Your Halloween Hangover."
From reading the press release it seems iMansion is trying to be a bit of everything to everyone, which is not always the best route to take. But they do feel in this economic climate there shouldn't be a cover on their nights which I can get behind.
"Bringing a fresh approach to the area, iMansion will offer up affordable, contemporary American cuisine to the downtown business lunch crowd and weekend brunch-goers alike. Adorned with eight flat screen televisions, the space offers a refined alternative to the traditional sports bar, just in time for football season. At night, the venue transforms to an upscale, smoke-free, modern lounge offering a top shelf, full liquor bar, late-night food service and a rotating stable of live DJs. With indoor accommodations for 150 people, and an outdoor patio that can accommodate 200 people, The iMansion is also available for catered private parties of various sizes."
Is it a restaurant? Is it a sports bar? Is it a lounge? I don't know, but I'm going to find out this weekend.

Park City skier Gradey Cullins trains at Snogression to practice new tricks during the off-season.
No Snow? No Problem.
When Snowbird reluctantly signals the end of yet another ski season, the six-month countdown to November begins. During that interminable wait, diehards inevitably wonder where they can go to stave off their winter withdrawals.
Snogression is the answer to that compulsion. Designed by pro athletes to replace gymnastic centers as the go-to training grounds for skiers and boarders, Snogression replaces tumbling apparatus with foam pits, Olympic trampolines, rails and a massive ramp. It's not the place to learn how to get down the mountain (even beginners at Snogression are competent on the slopes), but it is ideal for practicing kangaroo flips without blowing up your spine.
Because the facility is dedicated to safety, newcomers are required to participate in an introductory class. Once visitors complete the brief course, they're welcome to practice in the indoor park on their own, tag along with a group session or get one-on-one instruction. $20 per freeride session after the required $35 basic two-hour class, 2828 S. 1030 West, South Salt Lake, 801-450-3857, snogression.com.

"This was a very successful group," said Scott Loomis, Moutainlands Executive Director. "It was one of the shortest completion times we've had, with five months, one week and one day. And that's because they worked so hard."
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development State Director Dave Conine congratulated the families for participating in the program.
"I'm slightly biased, but I really think it's the best program in USDA," he said. "This is more than you getting a home. Your work has paid off for you, as well as for your community."

Is it? I know the average homer fan will say yes...but someone that knows basketball, well is it? They don't look good against decent teams. Very sloppy. I'm hoping this team can get 18 wins and make the NIT. Just not enough fire power this year. Missing Royce, Scotty and even Allen is going to hurt us this year. I know some homer fans may get upset, but you have to look at it as a regular basketball fan.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
I thought we looked much better last night then we did one year ago at this time.
I guess what I'm saying is can this team go 10-6 in conference play?
Ugh...you again...
At this point...not a chance in hell.

I'm going to guarantee that this team doesn't go 10-6 in conference play. And the last time I checked, there is still 4 months of the season left. Who the hell knows if they're a tournament team right now. That doesn't matter.
If the tournament started tomorrow, then no. But it's only November. Give them a little time.

Luscious needs to improve and we need to shoot better. Our team sucked last year early too. Don't get to down. It's very very early.
Hell no

I'm not impressed but we will make the tourney, just go nowhere unless we somehow click. I see we are trying Clyburn running the point. Problem is he is no Royce!

I mean you have to look at it like this. I understand we all are Iowa State fans, but look at it from a regular basketball fan. Right now we are a 17 or 18 win team making the NIT.
Remember when we lost to Drake last year? Calm down... We've played two ranked teams in two nights very early in the season.
It's not even a month into the season...
Way too early for this discussion. My only comment is that Loucious needs to be a point guard, not a shooting guard.

Green Materials Handling; Industry Outlook Survey
April 01, 2010 - MMH Editorial
Making the most of every kilowatt
With power companies calculating rates based on peak usage, how you manage your energy usage is important, says Ken Ruehrdanz, Dematic's (877-725-7500, http://www.dematic.com)) warehousing and distribution market manager. Using an energy-monitoring audit, Dematic collects and analyzes power consumption data of conveyors, sorters and automatic storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) to better understand power usage. The system can then formulate a demand management plan that spreads out power usage and reduce peak usage of conveyors, sorters and other technology. This tactic reduces spikes in power usage and keeps the user in a lower price range.
Reducing your footprint with automated storage
For a company focused on minimizing its impact on the land and on saving energy, AS/RS has a green story to tell, says Dan Labell, president of Westfalia Technologies (717-764-115, http://www.westfaliausa.com)). "One of our customers produces organic dairy and meat products," says Labell. "They chose AS/RS to conserve land use. But, they were also able to reduce their energy consumption because they could reduce interior lighting; they could use the rail supports to reduce the amount of stretch wrap on a pallet that might end up in the landfill; and restrict the size of the openings required to go into refrigerated and freezer areas to minimize heat loss." In freezer applications, an AS/RS allows for a smaller area around the ceiling. "In cooled areas, the ceiling is the second place you lose heat," Labell says.
Maximizing space, minimizing impact
"When it comes to green, AS/RS has a lot of benefits," says John Clark, director of marketing for TGW-Ermanco (231-798-4547, http://www.tgw-ermanco.com)). "Any time you can take an existing facility and double or triple your storage footprint in an existing building without having to heat, cool or light that storage area, you're going to see savings." In a new facility, Clark adds, AS/RS technology allows for a footprint that's a third or more smaller than a traditional environment. Meanwhile, TGW-Ermanco's conveyor technology uses electronic sensors to operate on-demand features. "You can interface with existing line shaft conveyor to change a portion of your system with the new technology without ripping out your existing system and starting over," says Clark.
The economic triple bottom line
Corporate sustainability advocates like to talk about the economic triple bottom line. The idea is that done right, environmental stewardship and social responsibility lead to economic prosperity. Those concepts can be adapted to vertical and horizontal carousel solutions, says Ed Romaine, vice president of marketing for KardexRemstar (800-639-5805, http://www.kardexremstar.com)). Automated storage provides an environmental benefit because dense storage allows for a smaller building, reduced construction costs, and less maintenance and heating costs in the future. The product is socially responsible because it delivers assets to a workstation at an ergonomic height, providing access to work to the disabled and a graying workforce. Economic prosperity results from a more productive workforce. "By putting the right equipment in the right applications and for the right reasons, you'll see a return on your investment," Romaine says.
Doing more with less
Even in these difficult times, companies are asking about sustainability, says Tom Coyne, CEO of System Logistics (207-784-1381, http://www.systemlogistics.com)). "We have been asked recently to quantify the energy consumption of our systems, to quantify the savings from high efficiency motors and to suggest ways to drive energy savings with our systems," says Coyne. High density, automated storage systems deliver sustainable savings because they use space efficiently. "But, we are also using software and controls to make our equipment more efficient," says Coyne. "ThWat allows us to use a smaller conveyor system and fewer motors and still meet throughput objectives." System Logistics recently cut out a mile of conveyor over a traditional design for one customer that incorporated electricity generated from solar panels in the system. "We believe we can drive more sustainable benefits through software and design than by simply making the equipment more green," Coyne says.

Fencers Continue Competition as Ivy, NCAAs Draw Near
Getting in a few more bouts before the Ivy League and NCAA Championships are contested in March, the Princeton women's fencing team headed to Drew University Sunday to compete against Lafayette and Queens College.
Princeton's women competed against each school twice, defeating Queens 27-0 each time and Lafayette by scores of 23-4 and 22-5. Complete results are below.
While most of Princeton's women's team stayed in the state, a few men's and women's fencers headed across the Atlantic for international competitions and a few others made the trip down to Baltimore for the Junior Olympics.
In Baltimore, Michael Dudey claimed the gold medal in the junior men's foil competition at the Junior Olympics, following up the gold medal he won in the event in his hometown of Dallas in 2011. Dudey went 5-1 in pool bouts and went on to win seven straight matches to claim the direct elimination title.
Anna Van Brummen and Isabel Ford were both in the junior women's epee competition. Van Brummen placed sixth of 168 competitors, going 5-1 in pool play and advancing to the round of eight in the direct elimination bracket. Ford placed 17th overall, winning all six pool bouts and advancing to the round of 32 in the bracket. All of the Junior Olympics results can be found here.
Overseas, epeeists Jonathan Yergler and Jack Hudson were in Heidenheimer, Germany, competing in the Heidenheimer Pokal event, where Yergler placed 92nd in the field of 259 and Hudson placed 149th. Results can be found here. Saberist Gracie Stone was a bit further east in Budapest, Hungary, placing 25th of 123 fencers and advancing to the round of 32.

Reviews for Homemade Holiday Marshmallows
"These were fantastic! My son loves marshmallows so this was our Christmas project this year. They were super simple to make and my boys had a blast decorating them. Even the marshmallow haters in my family enjoyed these. We will definitely be doing this again."
"I hate marshmallows, but these are delicious! I made them to gift with homemade cocoa, and I can't stay out of them. They are moist and beautiful, and they are a very tasty addition to hot cocoa. Will definitely make again!"
"I grew up with homemade marshmallows at Christmas. Mother always rolled them in powdered sugar or toasted coconut."
"Super easy! Everyone loved them. I made a hot chocolate bar for a Christmas party and they paired well with the hot cocoa. They only thing with making any marshmallow is that they are extremely sticky. The best thing to do to try and pat them down is by using powdered sugar."
"So easy and delicious. Great flavor and texture."

LPD to sponsor food drive that benefits United Way
Published: Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 11:02 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 11:02 a.m.
Officers with the Lexington Police Department are hoping residents will turn out in droves Saturday for a food drive at a store benefiting the United Way of Davidson County.
Want to donate?
The Lexington Police Department will sponsor a food drive from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Big Lots, 810 Winston Road.
The food drive, sponsored by the LPD, will be held from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday at the Big Lots at 810 Winston Road. Residents are encouraged to bring nonperishable food items to benefit the nonprofit organization.
"I am very proud of them doing this," said Freddie Huff, who's assisting the LPD in organizing the food drive. "They are wonderful in helping the community. These guys go out of their way to help."
Huff has been organizing food drives for about 25 years. He added the United Way is in need of any donations that are nonperishable.
"I love it," he said of organizing food drives. "God has really blessed me."
Lexington Police Capt. Robby Rummage said his department's goal is to receive as much food as possible and help those who are less fortunate. The police department's decision to hold the food drive also is part of a citywide effort to assist the United Way of Davidson County, he said.
Rummage said officers will be on hand to man the food drive. "It's part of being a good community to help each other out," the captain said.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by pat66 Looks great! My front porch is bombarded by leaf blowers a couple of times a week. This mat does not hang on to all the debris that comes its way. My porch looks neat. I have only had the product a few days so I can't say more than about it very nice appearance. September 26, 2014

Alsi seed or linseed, also flaxseed comes from the flax plant. It is one of the oldest plants known to man. The flax plant is traced back to the ancient Egyptians and the Bible era. This plant was an important source of seeds and clothing in the early human history.
The presence of unsaturated fats and mucilage in the plant makes it a valuable remedy and may help intestinal conditions. When boiled, the seeds are turned into jelly. On consumption, the seeds creates a soothing action along the digestive tract. The seeds are better when taken whole rather than jelly form or infusion. Whole seeds also may draw out toxins from the body. It also acts as a laxative to easy constipation. When taken with water, the seeds swell in the bowel and have a bullking laxative effect on the body. It is imperative to drink a lot of water when taken with seeds to avoid dehydration.
The crushed seeds or linseed flour can also relieve external and painful boiles on the body.

ZF-11874: Inform routes in a chain wether they are the last route in the chain or not
If you have a chain of custom routes there is no way for the specific routes to know whether they are the last route in the chain or not during matching. We do some validation in custom routes in the chain, but this should only be done if the route doing the validation is the last in the chain.
This can be fixed with a small change to Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Chain::match():
{{$res = $route->match($match, true);}}
can be changed to:
{{$res = $route->match($match, true, ($key == $numRoutes - 1));}}
where {{$numRoutes}} is {{count($this->_routes)}}.
Routes wanting to use this information can expand the signature to {{match()}} in the custom route classes.
I have commit rights and have a working copy with attached tests and can commit if the feature is accepted.
Reassigned to component maintainer.
@[~cogo]: Could you please provide a patch which can be reviewed prior to commiting to SVN?
Patch that implements the idea mentioned in the description of this ticket.
Adam: I just attached the patch. Sorry for taking so long.
Applied patch to trunk (25070) and release-1.2 (25071)

An Astronaut, Mark Seliger's Music and Rick Smolan's Trek: PhotoPlus Expo's Keynote Speakers Announced
Ever wanted to ask a question of an astronaut, hear how Mark Seliger captures portraits of musicians or know what happens on a National Geographic assignment? You'll have your chance at the keynote presentations
at PhotoPlus Expo. The conference and trade show takes place October 23 through 26 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City. Each of the keynotes is free to attendees who register for one of the conference passes at PhotoPlus Expo.
Our space enthusiast friends (including some PDN staffers) are particularly excited to get seats for Dr. Donald Pettit's presentation, "An Astronaut's Guide to Photography in Space," on October 24, from 12pm to 1pm. He will share images shot from the cupola of a spacecraft, and explain the techniques used to capture images from this unique perspective.
Mark Seliger, who has shot over 100 Rolling Stone covers, will be discussing the evolution of his portrait and fashion photography, and his own journey as a musician, on October 25, from 12pm to 1pm.
Rick Smolan, the creator of the "Day in the Life" book series, was assigned by National Geographic to document a young Australian woman's 1,700 mile trek across Australia's Gibson desert accompanied only by some camels and a dog. The story became the book, Alice to Ocean, which is now being made into a motion picture by the producers who made "The King's Speech." In his presentation on October 26 from 12pm to 1pm, Smolan will present never-before-seen images from the project and clips from the film.
The keynotes are just one portion of the educational program at the PhotoPlus Expo conference. There are seminars covering lighting techniques, marketing and social media, mastering video, creating compelling portraits, "How to Create Advertising That Doesn't Look like Advertising," "The Art of Video Storytelling," "Understanding Your Smartphone," "Today's Changing Marketplace for Your Photographs," "How to Navigate the World of Fashion Photography," tips and trends. Speakers include Zack Arias, Olivia Bee, Jeremy Cowart, Joe McNally, Art Streiber, Jody Quon, Gregory Heisler, Bob Davis, Douglas Kirkland, James Estrin, Guy Aroch, Cliff Mautner, Corey Rich, Ed Kashi, Ron Haviv, Tyler Stableford, Brian Storm, Mary Virginia Swanson, Gail Mooney,

The executive authority of the state is the government (cabinet of ministers), charged with administering internal and foreign affairs, including security matters. Its policy-making powers are very wide, and it is authorized to take action on any issue which is not legally incumbent upon another authority.
The cabinet determines its own working the formation of a government, a list of ministers for Knesset approval, together with an outline of proposed government guidelines. All the ministers must be Israeli citizens and residents of Israel and all must be Knesset members.
Once approved, the ministers are responsible to the prime minister for the fulfillment of their duties and accountable to the Knesset for their actions. Most ministers are assigned a portfolio and head a ministry; ministers who function without portfolio may be called upon to assume responsibility for special projects. The prime minister may also serve as a minister with a specific portfolio.
Ministers, with the approval of the prime minister and the government, may appoint a deputy minister in their ministry; all must be Knesset members.
Like the Knesset, the government usually serves for four years, but its term may be shortened by the resignation, incapacitation or death of the prime minister, or a vote of no-confidence by the Knesset.
If the prime minister is unable to continue in office due to death, incapacitation, resignation, or impeachment, the government appoints one of its members (who and decision-making procedures. It usually meets once a week, but additional meetings may be called as needed. It may also act through ministerial committees.
Forming a government: All governments to date have been based on coalitions of several parties, since no party has ever received enough Knesset seats to form a government by itself.
Following consultations, the president presents one Knesset member with the responsibility of forming a government. To do so, this Knesset member has to present, within 28 days of being given responsibility for must be a Knesset member) as acting prime minister.
In case of a vote of no-confidence, the government and the prime minister remain in their positions until a new government is formed.

If you are under 7, there's big news at Disney California Adventure this week.
"Disney Junior – Live on Stage," a puppet show at the theme park, is adding two segments taken from two popular TV shows, "Sofia the First" and "Doc McStuffins," shown on Disney Junior, a Disney channel.
The additions officially debut Friday.
"Doc McStuffins" is an animated show about a girl who acts as a doctor to her toys that come alive. "Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess," a one-hour special that introduced the character, was the No. 1 television telecast for preschoolers in November; the animated special has since turned into a top TV show.

Rolly Brown is a lifelong student of the guitar. He has been a National Fingerpicking Champion (1980), a Philadelphia Music Award nominee, a solo performer, sideman, and teacher. Folk, blues, ragtime, bluegrass, country, & jazz have each, over the past 46 years, been his passions. Acoustic Guitar Magazine calls Rollys guitar sound an exceptionally melodic, articulate playing style that takes full advantage of the acoustic guitars beautiful tone. Wise sage Bennett Hammond says, He's the real deal, the gen-you-wine article, the guitar picker's guitar picker. Blues master Andy Cohen (who IS prone to hyperbole) told Rolly, "Dammit, you are the best that ever was. You may quote me." Check Rolly's instructional and performance videos at www.youtube.com.
Susie Burke has been performing since the 1980's in numerous settings, solo, band and duo. No matter the setting, Susie is known for the soulful way she delivers a song. Of her singing, Scott Alarik of the Boston Globe said "her phrasing is unerringly devoted to the lyric." The diversity of those lyrics is also notable. With influences from traditional to new folk, swing to blues and beyond, Susie performs songs from a wide variety of sources, including her own compositions.
She has taught at a number of music camps for the last decade, teaching guitar and song workshops. Susie and husband David Surette, with whom she has performed for 25 years, maintain a teaching studio near their home in southern Maine. There she hosts a class called, "Singing for the Joy of It", teaching songs by ear on the fly for the sheer love of singing together.
Susie has released 5 acclaimed CDs, and sung back up harmonies on many, and has performed in many areas of the US, as well as Quebec.
Something of a late-bloomer, singer/songwriter Kate Campbell didn't begin her professional career until the age of 30. But in short order she managed to include the likes of Guy Clark, Emmylou Harris, as Buddy Miller as both admirers and collaborators in her distinctly literate musical vision. Since making her recording debut in 1995 with Songs From The Levee, Campbell has since put together a body of work marked by consistency, artistry and honest self-examination and self-revelation. Kate's Moonpie Dreams (1997) and Visions of Plenty (1998) each garnered "Folk Album of the Year" nominations from the Nashville Music Awards. Kate is the daughter of a Baptist preacher from Sledge, Mississippi. Her formative years were spent in the very core of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, and the indelible experiences of those years have shaped her heart, character, and convictions ever since. As a child of the South, her musical tastes were forged in the dampened, smoky fires of soul, R&B, Southern rock and folk music. Kate released her first live recording, Two Nights In Texas in the Fall of 2011. A new recording of original music, 1000 Pound Machine is set for release in March 2012.
Whether Guy Davis is appearing on Late Night With Conan O'Brien or nationally syndicated radio programs such as Garrison Keillor's, A Prairie Home Companion, Mountain Stage or David Dye's, World Cafe, or in front of 15,000 people on the Main Stage of a major festival, or teaching an intimate gathering of students at a Music Camp, Guy feels the instinctive desire to give each listener his all. He's a musician, composer, actor, director, and writer. But most importantly, Guy Davis is a bluesman. The blues permeates every corner of Davis' creativity. Throughout his career, he has dedicated himself to reviving the traditions of acoustic blues and bringing them to as many ears as possible through the material of the great blues masters, African American stories, and his own original songs, stories and performance pieces. His influences are as varied as the days. Musically, he enjoyed such great blues musicians as Blind Willie McTell (and his way of story telling), Skip James, Manse Lipscomb, Mississippi John Hurt, Elizabeth Cotton, and Buddy Guy, among others. It was through Taj Mahal that he found his way to the old time blues. He also loved such diverse musicians as Fats Waller Throughout his life, Davis has had overlapping interests in music and acting. In 1993 he performed Off-Broadway as legendary blues player Robert Johnson in "Robert Johnson: Trick the Devil". He received rave reviews and became the 1993 winner of the Blues Foundation's "Keeping the Blues Alive Awards presented to him by Robert Cray at the W.C. Handy Awards ceremony. Looking for more ways to combine his love of blues, music, and acting, Davis created material for himself. He wrote "In Bed with the Blues: The Adventures of Fishy Waters" -- an engaging and moving one-man show. The Off-Broadway debut in 1994 received critical praise from the New York Times and the Village Voice. Most recently Guy had the honor of appearing in the PBS special on Jazz and Blues artist, the late Howard Armstrong. And he was an honored guest at the Kennedy Center Awards, in which his folks received their medals, alongside other recipients like Warren Beatty, Elton John and composer John Williams from the President of the United States.
John Doerschuk has been in the sound business for over 25 years. He was attracted to waves and electrons while playing in bands in the seventies, and somehow continues to make a living as an "audio guy." He lives with his artist wife Bessie and daughter Sophie in Cambridge, Massachusetts. John plays piano and guitar and is trying to tame a Dobro.
Red House recording artist Cliff Eberhardt knew by age seven that he was going to be a singer and songwriter. As a child Cliff taught himself to play guitar, piano, base and drums. In his teens Eberhardt was fortunate enough to live close to the Main Point (one of the best folk clubs on the East Coast), he cut his teeth listening to the likes of James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Bonnie Raitt, and Mississippi John Hurt - receiving an early and impressive tutorial in acoustic music. At the same time, he was also listening to great pop songwriters like Cole Porter, the Gershwins, and Rodgers and Hart, which explain his penchant for great melodies and clever lyrical twists.
A driving force of the Greenwich Village New Folk movement and well known among his peers, Cliff's songs have been covered by the likes of Richie Havens, Buffy St. Marie, Erasure, Lucy Kaplansky and the folk superstar band "Cry, Cry, Cry" (Dar Williams, Richard Shindell, Lucy Kaplansky).
"Lorraine Hammond is the most versatile dulcimer player I know," observes North Carolina dulcimer wizard Don Pedi. Lorraine's numerous credits as a traditional singer, songwriter, teacher and instrumentalist include her groundbreaking Shanachie release with fiddler Gerry Milnes, Hell Up Coal Holler, a Homespun dulcimer instruction series, and two elegant Appalachian dulcimer books with Yellow Moon Press. Lorraine also plays, performs on and teaches five string banjo, mandolin and harp. Lorraine's new CD, The Opal Ring, on the Snowy Egret label, combines the traditional New England ballads of her childhood with her own songs drawn from that childhood in the Connecticut Berkshires. Reviewer Mark Flanagan observes: "Lorraine Lee Hammond opens her latest CD with some of the sweetest notes ever produced on the mountain dulcimer." Lorraine is Music Director of the WUMBfm SAMW programs, and a lecturer in American Folk Music and World Music at Lasell College in Newton, MA. She and her husband, guitarist Bennett Hammond, have been touring, teaching and performing and recording together for the past thirty years.
"Bennett is the sort of finger-picking guitar player you can listen to all day" – The Shetland Times.
He started playing in 1957 and began teaching in 1960, debuted as a virtuoso soloist in 1980 – on the In-Bound platform, Harvard Square Station – and has played above ground, at home and abroad ever since. Early influences include an EP side of folk and cowboy songs with guitar accompaniment his sister Lucy made in 1951, recordings of Etta Baker, Mike Seeger and Duane Eddy, and of course the Three B's - Bach, Bluegrass, and Bo Diddly. More recently he has capitulated to the pleasures of playing the 5-string banjo, which he celebrates on his Rock-A-Folky Banjo CD on the Snowy Egret label.
Bennett's classes focus on developing students' individual skills and styles, helping you to play like yourself, only more so.
James "Sparky" Rucker has over forty years of international touring, recording, and teaching experience. He is known as a storyteller, historian, and folk musician. He has taught and led workshops at Augusta, Common Ground, Ashokan, Pinewoods, SAMW, Hindman Family Folk Week, Puget Sound Guitar Workshop, Clarion Folk College, and Wisconsin's String-A-Long Weekend. His performance credits include NPR's On Point, Prairie Home Companion, Mountain Stage, and Morning Edition. In his study of the blues, Sparky learned at the feet of such masters as John Jackson, Howard Armstrong, and Babe Stovall. Reverend Pearly Brown, who taught Duane Allman how to play bottleneck-style guitar, showed him some moves. Sparky also picked up pointers from Buddy Moss, who taught Blind Boy Fuller and Johnny Shines, who traveled with blues legend Robert Johnson. Sparky has researched the music of early America, including the vast number of songs that the American Civil War produced. He performs with his wife, Rhonda, and their album, The Blue & Gray in Black and White, won critical acclaim from historians and Civil War buffs alike. Their music is also included on the Grammy-nominated anthology, Singing Through the Hard Times.
Rhonda Rucker practiced medicine before becoming a full-time musician, author, and storyteller. She performs with her husband, James "Sparky" Rucker, adding vocals, piano, banjo, blues harmonica, and rhythmic bones to their music. When she first began learning harmonica, Rhonda studied the techniques of Sonny Terry, the renowned blues harp player. She then branched out to other styles. Rhonda has recorded nine albums with her husband, including Treasures and Tears, which was nominated for a W.C. Handy Award. Their music is also on the Grammy-nominated CD, Singing Through the Hard Times. Their album, The Blue & Gray in Black & White, won critical acclaim from historians and Civil War buffs alike. Rhonda has been an author since 1998, publishing articles in newspapers, magazines, and books. Her debut historical novel, Swing Low, Sweet Harriet, was published by Motes Books in 2013. The story is based on Harriet Tubman's work as a spy and scout during the Civil War when she helped lead African American soldiers on the Combahee River raid in South Carolina. Rhonda has taught classes at Augusta, Common Ground, SAMW, Hindman Family Folk Week, Puget Sound Guitar Workshop, and Clarion Folk College.
Sparky & Rhonda Rucker's passion for the American Civil War inspired their special historical program entitled The Blue & Gray in Black & White. This presentation tells stories from the war in music and narrative and focuses on the war's impact on the different regions of our country. The stories, some sad and some humorous, reflect personal insights from the various personalities who participated in the war. Sparky & Rhonda can often include stories about the events of the local community in which they are performing. Since more songs came out of the Civil War than any other war in history, they have a large repertoire of music to draw upon.
Widely acclaimed as one of New England's premiere instrumentalists, David Surette is highly regarded for his work on the guitar (both flatpick and fingerstyle), mandolin, and bouzouki, in a wide variety of settings. As a soloist, he is nationally-known as a top player of Celtic fingerstyle guitar, yet his diverse repertoire also includes original compositions, blues and ragtime, traditional American roots music, and folk music from a variety of traditions, all played with finesse, taste, and virtuosity. He has performed as a duo with his wife, singer Susie Burke, for 20 years, recording several albums and building a reputation as one of New England's top folk duos. Surette was a founding member of the Airdance band with fiddler Rodney Miller, with whom he recorded four albums and toured nationally. He has also released five solo recordings; his most recent is Sun Dog, a collection of original solo guitar pieces. David is an accomplished and gifted teacher who has taught at workshops and camps throughout the U.S., and the U.K. He is folk music coordinator at the Concord (NH) Community Music School, and artistic director of their March Mandolin Festival. He has authored a book of Celtic fingerstyle guitar arrangements for Mel Bay Publications, and is a regular contributor to Acoustic Guitar and Strings magazines.
Erica Weiss has been teaching music workshops and playing for dances up and down the East Coast and in the American South for more than fifteen years. Proficient on guitar, fiddle, and vocals, Erica currently plays and sings with Appalachian old-time, Cajun and country bands including Square Peg Rounders, Lightning in the East, Jesse Lege & Bayou Brew, and Killer Bees. Sought after for her solid driving rhythm guitar, she has backed up winners in both fiddle and banjo contests, and has placed numerous times with pick-up bands at the Old Fiddlers' Convention contest in Galax, VA. Erica loves teaching as much as playing and performing, which she discovered during her years as director of the Yale Slavic Chorus. A patient and enthusiastic instructor, Erica is known for helping experienced learners as well as complete novices broaden their knowledge base, further their ability, and continue to find joy in making music. Also a dance caller and instructor, she has brought the joy of dance, including square dance, contra, international, Cajun, and Zydeco, to participants of all levels and ages as well. Erica has taught and performed at camps and festivals including Pinewoods Folk Music Week, Stephen Foster Old-Time Music Weekend, Chesapeake Dance, Music Camps North, Ashokan Fiddle & Dance New Years', The Dance Flurry, Lincoln Center NYC, Black Pot Festival Louisiana, and many others. When she is not on the road, Erica teaches private lessons to children of all ages in the Greater Boston area.
Louisiana-born Charles Williams has won international acclaim since his opera debut at the Festival of Two worlds in Spoleto, Italy.

Okay, possible causes of a problem:
1) You're not copying it properly. Make sure you have everything in the code block (it scrolls).
2) They've changed how the Command Prompt works between Vista and the other versions of Windows.
You don't type that. It looks like you missed a bit out on the file when copying it somehow. Recopy the whole thing and replace the file.
Oh, whoops. Sorry. Umm... Okay.
Right click the file and click Edit. On the line aboveputCode:endlocalthen save it.Code:pause
Edit: updated the original. I usually run these from the Command Prompt, so I forgot to add a pause ^_^'
No problem.
I suppose I should make a fancy Java version with drop down menus and stuff... Eventually.
btw, I'm removing you from my ignore list again and bumping you up to Associate.
Christ Java makes this complicated. I've had to look up how to compare strings, make multiple comparisons simultaneously, how to define a variable...

Can someone please identify what year springer this is in this photo?
I always believed it to be a 1948 due to the grease zirks facing to the outside and the location of the front brake cable retaining clip tapped hole in the rigid leg.
I'm asking cause I've found what I believe to be "period correct" handle bars to replace the bars I just threw together four years back to get this thing on the road. I'm one of those guys that want to ride first and find the correct parts later, when/as I can. I'm hoping I found the "period correct" handlebars after waiting four years.
The springer in the photo is an "In-Line" springer, but I would like to know more about its year of birth if you can tell from the photo -Steve

Inspired by the Beatles' Rubber Soul album, Brian Wilson responded with Pet Sounds, the Beach Boys' masterpiece. And like many other prescient works through the ages, it puzzled the public.
While hardly a commercial failure-it hit Top Ten and spawned two Top Ten singles-it performed poorly by Beach Boy standards, failing to sell gold. Coming immediately after the carefree (and more popular) Beach Boys' Party, Pet Sounds was all the more confusing.
"God Only Knows" exemplifies Pet Sounds in its confessional tone and sensitive arrangement. Tony Asher wrote the lyrics, as he did for most of the album. Wilson was nervous about what he considered the unprecedented use of the word god in a pop song title. (Apart from quasi- patriotic kitsch like Johnny Burnette's 1961 hit "God, Country And My Baby", was Wilson unaware of a regional hit nearly as touching as his own, only a decade earlier- the Capris' "God Only Knows").
As on the rest of the album, none of the Beach Boys play instruments; Brother Carl Wilson's vocal is virtuostic. In the U.S., "God Only Knows" dented the Top 40 as the B-side of a bouncier Pet Sounds track, "Wouldn't It Be ...

Tangerine-Glazed Turkey RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 1 turkey (14 to 16 pounds)
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, cubed
- 1 cup canola oil
- 2 cups tangerine juice
- 2 to 3 cups chicken broth
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Preheat oven to 325°. Remove giblets from turkey; cover and refrigerate for gravy. Pat turkey dry; place breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Rub softened butter over turkey.
- In a large saucepan, melt cubed butter; stir in oil. Saturate a four-layered 17-in. square of cheesecloth in butter mixture; drape over turkey.
- Add tangerine juice to remaining butter mixture. Bake turkey, uncovered, 3 hours; baste with tangerine juice mixture every 30 minutes, keeping cheesecloth moist at all times.
- Remove and discard cheesecloth. Bake turkey 45 minutes to 1-1/4 hours longer or until a thermometer inserted in the thigh reads 170°-175°, basting occasionally with pan drippings. Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.
- Remove turkey to a serving platter; cover and let stand 20 minutes before carving. Pour drippings and loosened brown bits into a measuring cup. Skim fat, reserving 1/3 cup. Add enough broth to remaining drippings to measure 4 cups.
- For gravy, chop reserved giblets. In a large saucepan, saute giblets in reserved fat until browned. Stir in flour until blended; gradually stir in broth mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with turkey. Yield: 14 servings (4 cups gravy).

Reviews for Tangerine-Glazed Turkey
"I will definitely use this recipe again. The turkey was golden brown and completely juicy. My husband was surprised that even the white meat was juicy. My entire family raved on the turkey, so I have used this recipe for the past two Thanksgivings and will continue."
"If a turkey is done at 165 degrees, why would you want to cook it to 180 degrees? Is that a typo maybe?"
"I'm so glad to read that it worked well for everyone! - Jeanne"
"My turkey came out looking exactly like the picture. My entire family loved it, because it was so moist and tasty. As it was being carved, the juice was actually running out. I have found a new recipe and have already told others about it!"
"We made this turkey for Thanksgiving this year. The family was a little apprehensive about the tangerine but decided to give it a try. And boy are they glad they did. It was the best turkey we have ever had!!! It was moist and juicy and the flavor of the tangerines really accented the turkey well. I juiced about 4 tangerines to get the required juice and then halved the other tangerines and stuffed them into the turkey cavity for extra flavor, then used them as garnish.I also used the cheesecloth method which was featured in the magazine article. This gave the turkey a lovely golden color while keeping it moist. I will be keeping this recipe on hand for years to come!"
