|The final peak on our T-bolt to Sill traverse. We were getting pretty tired by this point but it was sure worth it. What a great way to spend a day. The summit views were impressive particularly looking down the Swiss Arete.

|3.5 hours to summit from Gayley Camp. Couldn't believe how short traverse and class 4 section were, but they were still fun. L-snowfield was starting to get soft on the descent (9:30 AM) but was still hard enough to make it easy with crampons. Beautiful area and fun climb.

|Unusually warm day at 14,000+! :P Being in the Palisades for the first time, I can't say I was totally impressed since the glacier looked like a "landfill" due to the low snow year. The route was fun, although I wished it was a bit longer. Would i personally call it "classic"?.....probably not. But for namesake, it was classic to witness all the names of the old timers in the summit register (a copy of the Sierra Club register): Clyde, Dawson, Robinson, Wade, Eichorn etc). Interestingly enough and by coincidence, we did our ascent on the same day Muir and Glen Dawson did theirs.....70 years ago to the day! Deb and I tackled the 5.9 variation of the crux pitch....great hand jams! Being with her made up for all the shortcomings and expectations. :)

|Beautifully warm day to be on a mountain, especially fine Sierra granite! Really fun easy climb, but awful short; simul-climbed all but 1 1/2 pitches. Thanks to hubby for leading, the altitude and my ovaries sapped my endurance.

Date Climbed: Jul 1, 2007
|Rick Kent and I day climbed the V-Notch couloir. Our original plan was to tag both Polemonium and Sill, but reality set in. We skipped Polemonium and tagged Sill (20 hrs car-to-car). Totally wasted.
Route Climbed: Thunderbolt-to-Sill traverse
Date Climbed: September 9, 2006
Climbed with Javier and DustysDawg. Part of the Thunderbolt to Sill traverse single day push (18 hrs: South Lake/T-bolt to Sill traverse/Glacier Lodge).
Route Climbed: Swiss Arete
Date Climbed: August 6, 2006
Climbed with Sam Mills.
We did it in 4 pitches as we solo the class 4/low 5th section to gain the arete proper. Started walking out of Gayley camp at 5:10AM and made the summit by 10:15AM. Excellent weather! Also, ran into SP'er graham at the summit, who came up via the North couloir. Left summit a bit after 11AM and were back to camp by 12:40PM (7.5 hrs camp to camp). Then, packed up and left camp at 1:30PM on the slog-back to the trailhead getting there just before 5:00PM.
Route Climbed: North Couloir
Date Climbed: August 7, 2004
Started at 4:45am from the Glacier Lodge day hiker's trailhead with mdostby. We were both moving slow in the morning....I guess coming up from sea level in less than 12 hrs didn't help either. We got to Sam Mack Meadow at about 10:00am. Took a very short break here and pressed on. Then, around 10:30am, Mike tells me that today he just doesn't have the energy to do the peak (btw, Mike started it all about 2 years ago when he told that we should day hike/climb most of the California 14ers). So, after 10:30am, I was going solo. I pulled out the ice axe and deployed crampons for the section across the Palisade Glacier before gaining the class 3 chute that leads to Glacier Notch. The North Couloir itself was pretty much melted out; there was perhaps 100 feet of snow climbing. Then, I arrived at the supposed-to-be class 4 section. I climbed it with my LaSportiva Makalu mountain boots and it seemed to me class 3, but I guess you can make it class 4 and even class 5 the further climber's left you go. I reached Mount Sill's summit at 2:01pm. I encountered three other people up there who came via Elinore Lake. One of them (Margina Rhyne of Bishop) took my summit picture since I didn't bring a camera. I left the summit at 2:15pm, down the North Couloir, down the class 3 chute back to the Palisade Glacier. I ran into no one from Palisade Glacier to summit back to Palisade Glacier. I then took a ten minute break at the creek 500 below Sam Mack Meadow and then continued on to the trailhead. I arrived at the Glacier Lodge trailhead at 7:50pm, where Mike greeted me with a cold beer. All in all, a huge day!! (more so than we anticipated). Next year I have my eyes on the Swiss Arete.

Date Climbed: Jul 16, 2006
|My first technical rock route! Four of us climbed together. Two leaders and two followers. A couple of mountain rescue guys from Bishop did the lead climbing and my good friend jsorber cleaned the route. Climbing with a pack full of axes and getting the ropes crossed made things a bit difficult at times. And that "Step Around Move" was very intimidating! I took a fall on the headwall that followed when I was unable to unclip the rope as it was snaged undernieth jsorbers rope while the take was too strong. This was fine after John reached me at the headwall and got some slack on his rope so that I could get around it. After five pitches we reached the simmit and our leader found us a good rapel station but it was difficult to avoid rock fall at the lower end of our last rapel. Glisading the L-Saped snow field turned out to be really fun but my ass was burning the whole way down.
The mixed terrain made things interesting and very enjoyable and the view from the summit was finest view in the Sierra that I have ever seen.

|Great climb up the L Couloir and challenging rock climb from the top of the couloir to the summit ridge if done free solo. Scrubbed plans to do Polemonium after Sill due to the hour and menacing clouds. Instead, did a quick run up to Gayley following the ridge directly as opposed to the Yellow Brick Road route.

A woman helps her husband install a new computer. (this for me was the funny part! HA!)
Once it is completed,
she tells him to select a password,
a word that he'll always remember.
As the computer asks him to enter it,
he looks at his wife and with a macho
gesture and a wink in his eye. He selects
a word but he is annoyed with her reaction
when he selects: penis.
As he hits "enter", to validate the selection,
his wife collapses with laughter and
rolls on the floor in hysteria.

ZF-6803: Zend_Application Default Module Bootstrap is Skipped
I am sure I have seen this mentioned but can't find it now. In the modules resource the default module can't have a it's own bootstrap.
I would of thought this should be changed to allow any module to be used as a default, which may in turn have it's own bootstrap file.
Is the idea that the application bootstrap should extend your default modules bootstrap?
What more worst: because "default" is skipped no Resource Autoloader is created. For consistance this skipping of "default" should be undone.
I don't know how to submit a proper patch, but maybe someone who does will find this useful. This 'patch' should resolve the issue.
I also think it would be usefull to have a default module bootstrap
its not really usefull, cause you can also put the init functions in the application bootstrap, but i think its easier to understand, if i have to explain bootstrapping to somebody who doesnt know zf, i simply tell him each module has its own bootstrap and the application itself has a (main)-bootstrap
i dont know why it was done like it is, there is probably a good reason, but if you dont want to change the behavior to allow a default bootstap, then at least add the possibility to add a parameter in the config file which lets you choose i want a default bootsrap or i dont want, if you want one the default module bootsrap should be loaded
This patch should be incorporated into the latest ZF release. No resource autoloader is created which is a pain.
This patch is naive.
The reason that the default module is skipped is because the documented use case -- particularly how we setup an application in Zend_Tool -- is that the default module is directly beneath application/ and contains the application bootstrap. If we then allow loading the default module's bootstrap... we get into a recursive loop. This is precisely what will happen if we apply the attached patch -- I know, because that logic is there because the recursive loop occurred while I was developing the functionality originally, and the code removed by the patch recreates the original code.
However, I think I may be able to come up with a working patch by checking any given bootstrap against the one registered with the resource, and will be attempting it shortly.
Fixed in trunk and 1.9 release branch.
Your probably right, i'm a naive (script kiddy) ;) but i'm happy to help a little bit, by opening new bug reprts or replying to existing ones, even if my "naivity" doesnt made it impossible for me to provide a good fix ;)
I applied the fix to my test application and it worked very well!
My websites have this structure:
- application --bootstrap.php //application bootstrap, setups cache, db profiler ... --config ---application.xml --layouts --caches --logs --modules ---moduleA ----bootsrap.php // module bootsrap, setups translations, routes, loads module config file ... ---configs ----translations.tmx ----config.xml ----routes.xml ---moduleB ----bootsrap.php ---moduleC ----bootsrap.php
Now if i switch the default module, from A to B, the only change i have to do is to change the row resources.frontcontroller.defaultmodule in the application.xml
As i said before, if i have to explain how my app works to somebody new that all module has its own bootsrap and dont need to tell him that the default module does not
Thx a lot for solving the problem you made me (and probably others) really happy ;)
I'm sorry if I may have caused offense with the word "naive". The intent behind my usage was based on the definition "uninstructed: lacking information or instruction" -- basically, it was a patch that did not take into account all the existing use cases. However, this report, and others I've heard, made this a pretty big priority to accommodate, and I'm glad the solution works for you!
No problem. I wasnt offended, but it was some sort of displeasure. I know lots of devs that dont want to ask stuff in forums or mailinglists because they are afraid somebody could call them dumb. Thats why i prefer if people are carefull about the words they use. I know you didnt want to harm anybody and i know you always answer to questions even if they come from naive devs ;)
One year ago i started working with ZF, since then i used it for three websites, unfortunatly i did have a lot of time to really learn how it works i simply used it, last month i tried to start a proposal for a zend_google_wave component but really fast i noticed that my knowledge was not good enough, i was also afraid people could laugh at me because my proposal is not as good as theirs. As soon as i'm able to improve my knowledge i will perhaps finish it and then publish it, i just hope people wont laugh ;)
Enough of topic, sorry for consuming your precious time, i'm a huge ZF, Zend and of course Matthew Weier O'Phinney fan ;)
Hi. I am doing a similar thing and hoped you could post the project skeleton (maybe a zip or inline code) that you have described above (or at least the config.ini (or .xml), application bootstrap and each module bootstrap. This issue is now a few months old, but the ZF documentation has not made it much easier. Thanks.

Women's Basketball
News: Women's Basketball Overwhelms Trade Tech, 85-46
Still feeling stung by a tough loss against long-time rival Mt. San Antonio earlier in the week, the Pasadena City College women's basketball team used Friday's matchup v. visiting Los Angeles Trade Tech as a diagnostic tuneup. Turns out the Lancers engine is running fine as PCC drove to an 85-46, South Coast Conference rout.
Currently No. 3 in the state poll, the Lancers improved to 14-5 overall and 3-1 in the SCC North Division. Trade Tech dropped to 7-8 and 2-2.
PCC head coach Joe Peron utilized all 12 of his players, often changing the entire lineup every few minutes. Ten scored at least one field goal and 11 finished with four or more points. Freshman guard Kiara Phillips led the Lancers with 16 points, followed by sophomore center Kaitlyn Parks with 12 (and seven rebounds), and frosh guard Tyler Polk with 11.
Polk and freshman guard Emily Thach each knocked down two 3-pointers during a 15-5 scoring run that gave PCC an early 23-12 lead. The Lancers led 39-19 at halftime, but continued to play a hard 40 minutes with physical play and pressure defense. The team finished with 20 steals and forced LATT into 37 turnovers.
Sophomore guard Skai Thompson totaled nine points and second-year guard Tyler Crockom added seven points, six assists and three steals. Off the bench, frosh center Bailey Williams contributed six points and a team-high eight rebounds, while Thach and freshman guard Joelle Tucker also scored six each. Rookie forward Kandace Payne added four points and five rebounds and sophomore forward Averie-Alice Guzman had four points and six rebounds.
For Trade Tech, Tasheba Henery scored a game-high 19 points.
PCC next hosts El Camino College-Compton Center on Wednesday, Jan. 22 in a 7 p.m. tip-off at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kathleen66 Love this table I love this table it is heavy and sturdy. I was worried it would tip over easily but not only is the top heavy, thick, solid wood the bottom is a heavy metal (iron?) painted black. Very unique and worth every penny. I liked the taller one because the sides of our chair and couch at higher it fits perfectly. Happy happy with this product. July 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sarah Sturdy and Beautiful I bought the 26" table in the store and I love it! It goes well in my eclectic home. The wood top is heavy but so is the metal base so the table is not tippy or top-heavy at all. June 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dara Gorgeous and very sturdy I have the 30" table, which was very easy to assemble, seems sturdy and goes perfectly in my living room. I would like to get another one, but I need the 26" ss the 30" is a little too tall to sit next to my loveseat. Any idea when/if the 26" will be available online???? May 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RoseR Pretty and solid tables These tables seem well made and VERY easy to assemble, which was important to me. Thick, wooden table tops are rustic; bases are black metal; they are well proportioned. Was glad to get them on sale. December 12, 2013

The Rev. Dr. Justin Lewis-Anthony to Join VTS Faculty as Associate Dean of Students
Media Contact: Curtis Prather
Tel: 703-461-1782
Alexandria, VA - During their May 22 board meeting, the trustees of the Virginia Theological Seminary unanimously approved the appointment of the Reverend Dr Justin Lewis-Anthony as the new Associate Dean of Students. Lewis-Anthony, who is currently the Rector for St. Stephen's Church Canterbury, will join the VTS community August 2013.

said the Very Rev. Ian S. Markham
, dean and president of Virginia Seminary. "He brings a wealth of parish experience, a distinguished career in practical theology, and a real depth of pastoral sensitivity. We are looking forward to him being with us."
An Associate Lecturer for the Religious Studies department at the University of Kent and alum of Ripon College, Cuddesdon, Oxford, Lewis-Anthony is passionate about the idea that ministerial formation is something more than "mere training." Ordained for more than twenty years, Lewis-Anthony has served in a variety of posts, including cathedral ministry. In his current post at St. Stephen's Church Canterbury, he made time and discipline to undertake a program of doctoral study. His Ph.D. was completed in December 2011, fourteen months ahead of schedule, and awarded summer 2012.
His published works include
You Are the Messiah and I Should Know: Why "Leadership" is a Myth and Possibly a Heresy
(Bloomsbury, 2013),
Circles of Thorns: Hieronymus Bosch and Being Human
(Continuum, 2009) and
If You Meet George Herbert on the Road, Kill Him: Radically Re-thinking Priestly Ministry
(Continuum, 2009). He has also contributed a chapter in
Moving On In Ministry
(Church House Publishing, 2013), edited by Tim Ling.
Lewis-Anthony follows Dr. Amelia
-Dyer, who held the position of Associate Dean of Students for five years before becoming the Executive Director of the Butterfly House in December 2012, and Dr. Lisa Kimball, Director of the Center for the Ministry of Teaching and Professor of Christian Formation and Congregational Leadership, who has been the Interim Associate Dean of Students since the beginning of 2013.
Founded in 1823, Virginia Theological Seminary is the largest of the 11 accredited seminaries of the Episcopal Church. The school prepares men and women for service in the Church worldwide, both as ordained and lay ministers, and offers a number of professional degree programs and diplomas. The Seminary has significantly shaped ministry and mission across the Anglican Communion for generations, and with its diverse faculty currently serves students from more than 45 Episcopal dioceses, over 10 different countries across the world, and over 10 different Christian denominations, for service in the Church and the world.

He introduced a feeling of modernism through his approach to ceramics and other arts and crafts, compared to the austereness dominant during the time. His use of unusual and organic shapes, and boldly colored glazes and designs was such a departure, that it was influential far beyond just the ceramic and tea ceremony circles. Designs found on many serving vessels (by far the most common form of Oribe ware) have motifs such as flowers or geometrical patterns taken from tsujigahana textiles.

There's also a FREE COPY of the e-booklet Listening, Summarising and Questioning - The Simple, Effective Skills of Conflict Resolution with every purchase of The Guide.
Dear Alan - I recently purchased The Guide which I think is excellent and highly useful in a personal and professional context. I am a teacher with the Skills Institute in Tasmania and I'm about to roll out communication training in Tasmania's only youth detention facility. I have an enormous amount of material regarding communication but none as succinct or as user-friendly as what you have developed.
Clare Thompson
The Communication and Conflict website is referenced as a resource in the Yale University Resource Guide for Skill Development for its staff Individual Development Plan process.
I work at a homeless shelter/rehab and I teach a class on community living. This is a new field of employment for me. I can use this site for ideas for the class I teach.
This is going to be very interesting and educational for myself as well as others.
This site is a big help. Thank you!

Working with 'Bullying'? - This may interest you….
Hello Alan Sharland
Thank you SO MUCH for this article! It brings forward some very key points about the phenomenon of "bullying" which I have been pondering for some while. Among others, asking to what extent can/should the person on the receiving end of the bullying/perceived to be bullying take responsibility/initiate steps to shift the paradigm? How can this happen without implying that the recipient is somehow responsible for the bullying behavior?

The Failure in Crowd-Sourcing News Photos
At a time of cost cutting for media budgets, lots of news organizations imagine that user-generated content can fill the void. But the recent failure of crowd-sourced news photos of Hurricane Sandy, and the shortage of coverage of other climate change-fueled disasters around the world, demonstrate how far we are from truly democratizing the medium of photography. Photographers worry that the lowering of technological barriers means "everyone's a photographer now," but in fact, the number of people who can take and share news photos is still limited by economics, infrastructure and geography.
Now that news organizations have quit crowd-sourcing instantaneous images of the approaching storm, we are seeing enterprising professional photojournalists who are focused less on flooded tunnels and wrecked cars, and have been seeking out the less obvious stories behind the slow process of rebuilding, rehousing the displaced, and supporting those underserved by relief efforts. (The New York Times photographer Ruth Fremson's November 2 coverage of people coping without power, elevators, heat or a sense of security on the upper floors of public housing projects is one example.)
Among the critics of the media's immediate response to the storm, photographer Kenneth Jarecke and Prison Photography's Pete Brook (who gathered a round-up of storm coverage) seem most irked by the poor quality of many of the images editors chose to publish (by professionals commissioned to shoot on iPhones and by amateurs). "Most of the photographs are REALLY bad," Jarecke wrote. "It's history. It changes people's lives. You're not allowed to make excuses or drop the ball, but sadly most of you did."
As a New Yorker who was seeking up-to-date information about friends and loved ones the day after the storm made landfall, I'll forgive esthetic lapses in favor of timely and useful information. The problem was, amateur photographers don't seem to know how to write captions, and they lack journalistic instincts.

Lab Research Focus
Research in my laboratory is focused on the biology of human cytomegalovirus, a large human herpesvirus that is responsible for a number of human diseases. A major component of our research is directed towards understanding protein interactions between the components of the tegument and the virion envelope. The goals of this research are to identify key protein interactions that are essential for assembly of infectious virions. As part of these studies we have also identified intracellular trafficking pathways of viral tegument and envelope proteins and cellular compartments in which particle assembly takes place. These studies utilize both biochemical and imaging techniques and more recently, have taken advantage of genetic manipulation of the viral genome propagated in E. coli. The second area of research is centered on understanding the pathogenesis of diseases that result from human cytomegalovirus infection. These studies include the definition of both the cellular responses and host response to virus infection. Utilizing related cytomegaloviruses of rodents we have extended our studies into animal models of viral disease. Ultimately, we hope to identify new protein targets for antiviral drug development as well rationally designed vaccines to limit disease associated this virus.

Shockey visited the Fins, but then signed with the Carolin Panthers. I have two thoughts on this topic:
(1) Shockey played for the Saints this past season, and he signed a free-agent contract with a new team. I'm not sure how that happened since there is - technically - no free agency period. Every other player that was signed was either a re-sign with the same team or a guy who was not playing with a team last season. Was he released off of IR, and therefore fell into a unique category? Or is his signing subject to further scrutiny once the CBA is finalized? Weird.
and (2) he decided to not sign with the Fins, in spite of interest by them. I think the decision was two-fold: they low-balled him and offer, and he felt he had a better opportunity for success elsewhere - without Schmoe Montana and a new OC.

My source tells me that they talked "terms of the contract" therefore it is accurate to say they "never offered him a contract." Apparently the offer was so low that they weren't going to come to terms...
And yes, the fact that Peyton and Sparano are friends may have figured into the deal.

Post subject: Imogene Robertson books
I wondered if anyone on this list was reading these (I think someone on the list recommended them). Anyway, you can get the most recent book, Circle of Shadows, as a Kindle book here in the U.S. It isn't in print here yet.
I started reading it yesterday, and will certainly finish by this weekend if I don't slow down. These are page turners for me.
There are romances in the book, but my favorite "couple" right now are, of course, Mrs. Westerman and Gabriel Crowther. Gabriel is in his 50s, and Harriet is in her 30s, and yet I feel a kind of romance going on, despite the fact that Gabriel is such a recluse. I have been looking for romances featuring older people (surely it isn't only the young who fall in love). I would appreciate any suggestions. I loved Judith Landsdowne's Regency romances, but she seems to have been about the only author who wrote stories about older people. Not many historicals even feature people over the age of 40 as main characters.
The only book I can compare to these is Stephanie Barron's stand-alone book A Flaw in the Blood, which I liked very much.
The other book I loved was Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, though it isn't a historical. I keep seeing Stephen Dillane as the Major (when I am not envisioning him as Sherlock Holmes).

I love Harriet and Gabriel! Particularly in the first and third books, their dialog is so witty and fun. The first book is available in audio format, too - I asked her on
her blog
but Ms. Robertson isn't sure about plans to record any of the others. She's approachable and responsive online, fun to chat with.
I especially love that Robertson created a background for Harriet that explains her more modern sensibilities without making her a time-traveling feminist in period dress. I also like that she makes Harriet suffer for her outgoing ways, that seems historically accurate to me. And, it deepens Harriet's bond with Crowther. Especially in Island of Bones, you can feel them relax with one another, relieved not to have to pretend social niceties. The stressful moments when they slip and use first names are rare and poignant. They don't get as many scenes together in Circle.
I definitely think Gabriel's in love with Harriet, but I don't think Harriet sees him romantically yet, having known a young, virile, adventurous husband. And I think Gabriel would beat himself to death with his own walking stick before he'd bring it up.
Re: older lovers, Denise - It's not historical, but have you read Jeanne Ray's Julie and Romeo?

This sounds like an interesting series, but confusing. Can you tell me something about the series in general? I went on Robertson's web-site, but there was nothing about the order of books, and the description of the one you mentioned was very confusing. Do the books have to be read in order, and what is the first one? It seems, on Amazon, that she's written quite a few books, but I can't figure out if they are more than one series.

Post subject: Imogene Robertson's Books (Order of Series)
You will want to read them in order to see the development of the characters over time. There are secondary characters who are interesting and have their own story going on, too (Harriet's sister Rachel, Daniel Clode, Rachel's beloved, Owen Graves, guardian of the Earl of Sussex).
The first book, Instruments of Darkness, is still my favorite, mostly because of the pacing. It is really a page-turner. I was impressed at the time by the plotting and the way all the parts of the book held together. That book is really a tour de force of writing, if you note that kind of thing. What I mean is that a lot of writers can carry off a story as a kind of formula or as a character study, but Instruments of Darkness is just plain art on all levels--characterization, plotting, setting, etc.
The second book is titled Anatomy of Murder. It is both exciting and tragic.
The third, in which we learn something of Gabriel's past, is also intriguing, but I will say I liked the first two books better (though not at all sorry for having read Island of Bones).
The most recent book is Circle of Shadows, and so far (I am not even a quarter of the way in), there are some lovely moments. I am intrigued by the side plots, wondering if they will come together as they did in the first book.
Basically, the books are set in the 1780s. Harriet Westerman is the wife of a naval man. She traveled the world with him until her father died and left her younger sister alone at home. Harriet herself has a son, and so she and her small family are residing in England while Harriet's husband is off fighting the Americans. Harriet's estate abuts the land of the Earl of Sussex. She gets drawn into murder investigation when she finds a body in the wood. She contacts the only person she knows can help her determine who he is and how she died: Gabriel Crowther, a 50 year old reclusive anatomist.
You might look at the descriptions of the other books on Amazon.

text: Skin allergies (also called "allergic contact dermatitis") occur when your skin comes in contact with an allergen that your skin is sensitive or allergic to. Also, allergies to other things like food you eat or proteins your breath in may cause symptoms to appear on your skin, such as hives or rashes. The reaction usually appears within 48 hours after the initial exposure to the allergen. Symptoms that are commonly seen include the following: redness, swelling, blistering, itching, hives and rashes. The allergen can be a substance in a product that you have used for many years; it does not have to be a new product. Allergic contact dermatitis occurs more commonly in adults. The most common types of allergic contact dermatitis are allergies to poison ivy, oak and sumac.

I won't bore you with details. I am just not in a good way right now money-wise.
I'm not going to end up in the street, I am just not working and money is at an all time low. I do not have Google AdSense anymore, they yanked my account for an unknown reason.
So, I'm asking for help.
As another well-known blogger would put it, hit the freakin' tip jar!
If you want this to be a regular thing:
Again, I hate asking. But, reality is reality; and I just do not have any job prospects lined up. The Business? Heh. that's a joke anymore. I did have a job prospect, but that all fell through. Nothing I did on my part, just did not work out at all.
Oh, by the way; on Thursday, June 28'th — I will be 40 years old. 40 years old, no job, broke and living with my parents. You have any idea what that does to man? You could never even begin to imagine. 🙁
Also too, if you do not like or do not trust PayPal; I can give you my home address. It is out there, if you are good with Google. But, if not and you want to help out, without using PayPal, let me know.
Thanks for your loyal readership for the 8 years that I ran this blog.

It's Time to Train Officers Not to Kill Dogs
By A. Barton Hinkle - July 8, 2013
A cop shot a dog the other day. Again.
Maybe you've seen the video — it was all over the Internet, complete with the dog's grisly death spasms.
Hawthorne, Calif., resident Leon Rosby was using his cellphone to record a standoff between police officers and armed robbers. At the end of the standoff, officers headed Rosby's way. He put his dog, a Rottweiler named Max, in his car, then placed his arms behind his back to be cuffed. (He'd had run-ins with the law before.)
As the officers began taking Rosby into custody, Max jumped out the car window and approached. At first he sniffed the ground and paced, agitated but not threatening. When an officer made a move toward Max, he jumped and snapped.
So the officer killed him.
This was just a few days after police officers in the Chicago suburb of South Holland went to the house of Randy Green to investigate a report of an unleashed dog. While the Green family slept inside, the officers watched their dog, Grady, rest on the front porch.
After 20 minutes, according to the Greens' lawsuit, "Grady approached Officer (Chad) Barden," at which point Barden — who, the lawsuit contends, had a dog pole in his vehicle — shot him.
That incident followed by just a few days another one, also caught on video, in which two El Monte, Calif., officers entered — without notice — the fenced yard of Chi Nguyen and shot one of the family dogs when it approached.
The San Gabriel Valley Tribune reports "there were four children present at the home when the shooting occurred, and a children's pool party was taking place in a front yard across the street, according to the family and the video." El Monte police spokesman Dan Buehler said the officer "followed policy."
That's precisely the problem.
Across the country, both state laws and departmental policies seem to let police officers use deadly force as a first resort against family pets that often present little or no threat. In one infamous 2010 case from Missouri, an officer shot and killed a dog that had been subdued and held on a catch-pole. In another, an officer shot D.C. resident Marietta Robinson's 13-year-old dog, Wrinkles, after Robinson had confined the dog to her bathroom.
Last year, police officers chasing two suspects in Lake Charles, La., shot a dog named Monkey that barked at them. In Henrico County last July, police officers went to the home of a homicide victim to notify the family of the slaying. When the family dog ran toward them, the officers shot and killed it. In Danville four years ago, a police officer shot and killed a 12-pound miniature dachshund. For growling at him.
Danville's chief says the officer followed policy.
Police officers receive extensive training about the use of force when it is applied against humans. But how many departments provide training on dealing with pets? Very few, says the Humane Society. This despite the fact that, according to a Justice Department paper ("The Problem of Dog-Related Incidents and Encounters"), 39 percent of U.S. homes have dogs.
More than half of dog owners "consider their dogs family members," it continues, "and another 45.1 percent view them as companions or pets." Less than 1.5 percent view them as property.
Do we really need systematic training to combat a few isolated incidents, however unfortunate? The question rests on a false premise. Civil liberties writer Radley Balko notes that over a nine-year period, Milwaukee officers killed 434 dogs — about one every eight days. And that's just one city. Across the country, according to Justice, "the majority of (police) shooting incidents involve animals, most frequently dogs."
But surely those shootings occur because the animals themselves pose a serious threat, right? Nope. The Justice Department says not only that "dogs are seldom dangerous" but that even when they are, "the overwhelming majority of dog bites are minor, causing either no injury at all or injuries so minor that no medical care is required."
As Balko writes, "If dangerous dogs are so common, one would expect to find frequent reports of vicious attacks on meter readers, postal workers, firemen and delivery workers. But according to a spokesman from the United States Postal Service, serious dog attacks on mail carriers are vanishingly rare."
Yet serious — deadly — attacks against dogs are all too common. They shouldn't be. And the solutions are obvious: Departmental policies, backed by state law, should require police officers to use lethal force against companion animals only as a last resort.
Officers should receive training in safe and non-lethal methods of animal control — and in dog behavior: "An approaching dog is almost always friendly," according to the Justice Department; "a dog who feels threatened will usually try to keep his distance."
Finally, lawmakers should require an investigation of every dog shooting, to avoid what the public too often gets now: a knee-jerk defense of the officer involved and a callous dismissal of the family's suffering.
After all, if a child ran at a policeman with a knife the officer might fire in self-defense — yet nobody would just let it go at that. Animals don't occupy the same moral station as children, but family pets are more than just property. A badge and a gun should not be a license to shoot them at whim.

Black Blade: Shoot my dog I shoot you. Simple as that. If some deranged moron (even in a cop costume) shoots a nonthreatening animal then he is obviously deranged and a threat and should be put down as quickly and humanely as possible just as one would do to any rabid creature. It is a case of self defense at that point when a deranged psychopath draws a firearms and fires indiscriminately at a homeowner, his family and/or property. Serial murderers often kill and torture animals for pleasure and to put down such individuals in cop costumes is doing a community service by taking out potential serial murderers. Perhaps these cops should be fired and committed to mental institutions and police departments hire postal workers and meter readers to train cops how not to panic when they see small animals.

Fact Sheet 419
Tenofovir (Viread)
Tenofovir (Viread), also called bis-POC PMPA, is a drug used as part of antiretroviral therapy (ART). It is manufactured by Gilead Sciences. The FDA approved tenofovir for use against HIV in October 2001. Generic versions have been tentatively approved under PEPFAR (see fact sheet 925.)
Tenofovir is a nucleotide analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor, or nuke. These drugs stop HIV from multiplying by preventing the reverse transcriptase enzyme from working. This enzyme changes HIV's genetic material (RNA) into the form of DNA. This has to occur before HIV's genetic code is inserted into an infected cell's genetic codes.
Tenofovir was approved in 2001 as an antiretroviral drug (ARV) for people with HIV infection. In 2010 it was approved for use by people between 12 and 18 years old. . In 2011 it was approved for use in children ages 2 to 12. It has not been carefully studied in people older than age 65. In US treatment guidelines (see fact sheet 404), tenofovir is listed as a preferred drug for people just starting ART.
There are no absolute rules about when to start ART. You and your health care provider should consider your CD4 cell count, your any symptoms you are having, and your attitude about taking ARVs. Fact Sheet 404 has more information about guidelines for the use of ARVs.
Be sure to let your health care provider know if you have any kidney problems. People with kidney damage may need to take a reduced dose of tenofovir.
If you take tenofovir with other ARVs, you can reduce your viral load to extremely low levels, and increase your CD4 cell counts. This should mean staying healthier longer.
Tenofovir may also help control Hepatitis B (see fact sheet 506). However, Hep B got much worse in some people who were taking tenofovir and then stopped taking it. Get tested for hepatitis B before you start taking tenofovir to treat HIV. If you have hepatitis B and stop taking tenofovir, your health care provider should carefully monitor your liver function for several months.
Tenofovir is also being studied for the prevention of HIV infection. Gilead hopes that just one pill a day will be effective.
Many new copies of HIV are mutations. They are slightly different from the original virus. Some mutations can keep multiplying even when you are taking an ARV. When this happens, the drug will stop working. This is called "developing resistance" to the drug. See Fact Sheet 126 for more information on resistance.
Sometimes, if your virus develops resistance to one drug, it will also have resistance to other ARVs. This is called "cross-resistance." However, tenofovir seems to have very little cross resistance with other ARVs.
Resistance can develop quickly. It is very important to take ARVs according to instructions, on schedule, and not to skip or reduce doses.
A benefit of tenofovir is that it works against several strains of HIV that are already resistant to AZT or ddI.
The normal adult dose of tenofovir is 300 milligrams (mg) taken as one pill, once a day, with or without a meal. People who are taking both tenofovir and ddI (didanosine, Videx) should take tenofovir 2 hours before, or one hour after didanosine. A prodrug of tenofovir, GS7340, is being developed. When it breaks down in the body, it produces tenofovir. In early studies it is much more potent than tenofovir and may have fewer side effects. Children ages 2 to 5 will use a powder formulation. For children ages 6 to 12, there are pills of 150 mg, 200 mg, 250 mg. Dosing is based on age and weight.
Tenofovir is also available in Truvada, a combination of tenofovir and emtricitabine (see fact sheet 421).
With the start of any ART there may be temporary side effects such as headaches, high blood pressure, or a general sense of feeling ill. These side effects are likely to get better or even disappear over time.
The most common side effects of tenofovir are nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite. Tenofovir can cause kidney damage. Creatinine levels should be monitored in people taking tenofovir. Tenofovir can also damage the liver. People taking tenofovir should have their liver health monitored.
Tenofovir can reduce bone mineral density (see fact sheet 557). Calcium or vitamin D supplements may be helpful. This is especially true for people with osteopenia or osteoporosis. This is important for young people because bone density normally increases during this period.
Tenofovir can interact with other drugs or supplements you are taking. These interactions can change the amount of each drug in your bloodstream and cause an under- or overdose. New interactions are constantly being identified. Make sure that your health care provider knows about ALL drugs and supplements you are taking.
Tenofovir results in higher blood levels of didanosine (Videx). ddI and tenofovir should not be used together, especially in patients with a high viral load and a low CD4 count. Serious ddI side effects may result.
Tenofovir blood levels increase if it is taken with the protease inhibitors atazanavir (Reyataz) and lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra). This can increase the risk of tenofovir side effects.
Tenofovir decreases blood levels of atazanavir. Ritonavir should be taken when atazanavir is taken with tenofovir.
Tenofovir does not affect blood levels of methadone, ribavirin or adefovir. There is no known interaction between tenofovir and buprenorphine.
Three regimens should normally not be used without careful analysis or extra ARVs:
- Tenofovir + abacavir + lamivudine (Viread + Ziagen + Epivir)
- Tenofovir + didanosine + lamivudine (Viread + Videx + Epivir)
- Tenofovir + Videx EC + either efavirenz or nevirapine in patients new to ART with high viral loads.
Tenofovir is eliminated by the kidneys. It is not metabolized in the liver, so it is not expected to interact with many other drugs. However, medications with names that end in "-ovir," such as acyclovir and ganciclovir, may interact with tenofovir.
Tenofovir should be used as part of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) against HIV. It is normally used along with a nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (nuke) plus a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) or a protease inhibitor.

A 38-year-old Harrington man was arrested in Felton on Thursday following a domestic dispute in Harrington.
Police were called to the Diamond Court Apartments off of Peck Avenue, where the unidentified victim reported being punched and kicked by Donald E. Jackson, according to Harrington Police spokesman Sgt. Earl K. Brode.
Jackson fled the scene before officers arrived but later was located at a home on Sumac Drive in Felton, where he was taken into custody without incident, Brode said.
Jackson is charged with offensive touching. He later was released on a $250 unsecured bond.

Florida Board of Education Information
Florida Board of Education Members
Florida's Governor appoints the Florida Commissioner of Education, who is responsible for, and manages, the daily operations of the Florida Board of Education. Dr. Eric J. Smith is the current Commissioner of Education, and was appointed in 2007. Dr. Smith, as Commissioner, is aided in his management duties by the other six appointed members of the Board of Education. Other members include Mr. T. Willard Fair, Chairman, of Miami, whose term expires in December of 2010; Dr. Akshay Desai, of St. Petersburg, term expiration of December 2010; Mr. Mark Kaplan, Tallahassee, term expiration of December 2013; Mr. Roberto Martinez, Coral Gables, term expiration of December 2012; Mr. John R. Padget, Key West, term expiration of December 2012; Ms. Kathleen Shanahan, Tampa, term expiration of December 2013; and Ms. Susan Story, Pensacola, term expiration of December 2013. The Board meets in Tallahassee at least bi-monthly, or more often if matters require it. The Florida Board of Education (FBE) also holds periodic public hearings at various locations around the state.
Florida Board of Education - Mission
The Board of Education has stewardship for multiple aspects of education within the state of Florida. As such, the FBE holds as its mission the creation of one efficient, seamless system which seeks to increase the proficiency of all Florida students, from preschool students to students enrolled in college, by making possible the opportunity to enlarge skills and knowledge through learning environments and research which students, families and communities value. The Board also seeks to maintain a system of accountability which includes the following goals: highest possible student achievement; seamless communication and maximum access for all stakeholders; creation of a skilled workforce and heightened economic development; and delivery of efficient, high quality services. To help in accomplishing this mission, the Board of Education has organized commissions, committees and task forces to focus on various key responsibilities of education delivery within the state of Florida.
Florida Board of Education - Functions and Goals
In its daily functioning, the Department of Education (as overseen by the Board of Education), provides a single repository of educational data received from school districts, universities, community colleges and independent postsecondary schools. This enables the Department of Education (DOE) to track student performance over time and in various educational venues. The DOE is also charged with providing support and services for more than 2.6 million students, 318,000 full-time staff, 180,000 teachers, and 3,800 public schools. Additionally, the DOE serves as the teaching credentialing body for the state of Florida.
One key goal of the DOE is to have every child be able to read at or above grade level by 2012. To this end, the DOE administers a reading initiative for all public schools throughout the state of Florida, and among volunteer organizations and community groups which support these schools.
Another of the Department's charges is to strengthen the independence and economic self-reliance of Florida citizens. To that end, the DOE manages services and programs which provide apprenticeships, workforce education, career development and job-specific skills. These programs and services include outreach to individuals who are blind, visually impaired, or disabled, aimed at helping them succeed in school or in careers.
In addition to the divisions of Vocational Rehabilitation and Blind Services, the Department oversees 44 school district technical centers, 28 locally-governed public state colleges, and some 4000-plus other schools, including elementary, middle/junior high, senior and combination schools.

Hormones play an important role in skin health. Lower levels of estrogen at menopause contribute to a decline in skin collagen and thickness, which is more rapid in the years right after menopause. Your skin also develops some slight sags and wrinkles and usually becomes drier. So what can you do to help keep skin looking healthy at midlife and menopause?
Don't smoke!
In smokers, the effects of aging on the skin are more pronounced. Long-time smokers have more skin damage, particularly wrinkles around the lips and dark circles under the eyes. Maintaining skin health is another good reason not to smoke.
Use sunscreen
Exposure to sunlight causes skin to age and is responsible for variations in pigmentation (skin color). Because aging skin is more prone to sun damage (including skin cancer), use of a good sunscreen is essential. For optimal ultraviolet protection, women should use a sunscreen (minimum SPF 15) throughout the year. However, sunscreen blocks vitamin D absorption, so women may need to take a vitamin D supplement to obtain the recommended amount. Avoid tanning. There's no such thing as a "healthy tan"—tanned skin means that skin is damaged.
Banish breakouts
Some women will experience acne around menopause, usually due to the shift in the balance between the hormones androgen and estrogen (estrogen levels decline more than androgen). Women who had acne during their teen years will almost always have acne in midlife. The effects of androgen, even at normal levels, can increase acne more in adult women than in adolescents. The adult variety is mostly on the lower face, particularly along the chin and neck. Adult acne sometimes responds to teenage acne therapies (lotions, soaps, antibiotics). Oral contraceptives may help but is only an option for very healthy, nonsmoking women during the menopause transition.
Practice healthy habits
Other skin-healthy habits include:
• Avoiding stress and getting enough exercise and sleep
• Drinking plenty of water helps keep skin hydrated
• Limiting coffee, tea, soft drinks, and alcohol because they decrease hydration
• Avoiding hot, soapy showers and baths to prevent dry skin
• Using bath oil or lotion on wet skin will help skin stay lubricated and more resistant to damage
• Investigating any mole that changes
• Including omega-3s (salmon, walnuts, sardines, flax, or fortified eggs) to help keep your skin hydrated. A diet short on omega-3s can leave skin dry and itchy.

Businesses play role in better health
Published: Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 1, 2013 at 1:02 p.m.
When two organizations typically known as competitors come together on an issue, Davidson County residents should take note. Wake Forest Baptist Health — Lexington Medical Center and Thomasville Medical Center have joined with the Davidson County Health Department on ways to improve residents' health. Their actions come after the 2012 Davidson County Health Assessment identified several areas in which the county needs to improve. The focus is on obesity, access to health care and tobacco use.
But the effort must reach more than just health professionals, and that, too, is taking place. The county's chambers of commerce sponsored a meeting Thursday to hear from the presidents of the two hospitals and health department leaders. The business community can take that message back to employees and perhaps even customers. More information will come as the three work groups develop their action plans, but the fact the assessment is already being discussed bodes well for changes that will improve residents' health.
Some eyebrows probably went up when the Lexington City Council approved the purchase of 60 new golf carts during Monday's meeting. The carts will cost the city about $154,475 after the trade-in of the current fleet, which is only 4 years old. Golf officials emphasized the end of the warranty on the present carts as a reason to go ahead and purchase new ones, saying repairs could quickly add up once the warranty expires. But it certainly seems like the carts ought to last for more than four years, since most people drive their vehicles for much longer periods.
One of Davidson County's real gems that often flies under the radar is Boone's Cave Park. The county-owned park in Churchland features gorgeous views of the Yadkin River, challenging walking trails, a bit of history in a cave Daniel Boone may have used to escape Indians, a picnic area and more. The park will now offer even more amenities with the addition of a boardwalk over a wetlands area and new Wilderness Walk. The official dedication comes March 17; make plans now to visit the park sometime in the near future, especially during the spring months when nature bursts out in bloom.
Tammi Rachels would probably be quick to deflect attention to her students, but the media coordinator at Oak Grove Middle School certainly has a knack for inspiring them to excel. The Oak Grove team won the middle school Battle of the Books competition Thursday, quite a feat for a school in its first year of existence. Rachels moved to Oak Grove this year after leading the Central Davidson team to six straight victories in the event. Educators like Rachels who bring out the best in students and share an infectious love of learning should be praised at every opportunity.

With so much confusion surrounding the use of custom-compounded bioidentical hormone therapy for treatment of menopause-related symptoms such as hot flashes, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stepped in with a warning about the potential harm from these products. On January 9, 2008, the FDA warned seven compounding pharmacies that their claims that their drugs can prevent or treat serious diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, stroke, and various forms of cancer, are unsupported by medical evidence and therefore considered false. Since compounded drugs are not reviewed by the FDA, women are encouraged to use government-approved, tested drugs whenever possible.
The term "bioidentical hormone therapy" itself most accurately describes a medication containing estrogen, progesterone, or other hormones that are chemically exact duplicates of hormones produced by women, primarily in the ovaries. Many of these bioidentical hormones (eg, estradiol, progesterone) are commercially available in well-tested, FDA-approved, brand-name prescription drugs.
But concern arises when bioidentical hormones are "custom-compounded" (custom-mixed) from recipes prepared by a pharmacist for a specific patient.
• These medications do not have FDA approval because individually mixed recipes have not been tested to prove that the active ingredients are absorbed appropriately or provide predictable levels in blood and tissue.
• The recipe not only contains the active hormone (or hormones), but also other ingredients that either hold everything together (in the case of a rectal suppository, an under-the-tongue tablet, or an under-the-skin pellet) or provide a vehicle for applying the product onto the skin (such as a cream or gel) or into the body (such as a liquid or a nasal spray).
• There is no scientific evidence about the effects of these compounded medications on the body—either good or bad.
Another fly in the bioidentical ointment is that the salivary and blood testing used by custom compounders to "assess" your hormone levels are meaningless for midlife women because our hormone levels vary from day to day and even from hour to hour.
Custom-compounded hormones may provide certain benefits, such as individualized doses and forms, and mixtures of products that are not available commercially. However, without appropriate testing and standardization of the product you're putting into your body, there is no assurance that the preparation methods will not vary from one pharmacist to another and from one pharmacy to another. Nor is there assurance that patients will receive consistent amounts of medication. Expense is also an issue, as many custom-compounded preparations are viewed as experimental drugs and are not covered by insurance plans.
Follow these steps before choosing a product for symptom relief:
1. Rely on scientifically proven medications
2. Question deceptive claims of long life and fast relief
3. Talk to your healthcare provider before making any decisions about a nonregulated medication.

Muhsinah's newest project is just a little too incredible to be free. Over the past couple years, we've observed Muhsinah's social network musings and seen her process her growth as an artist, all the while wondering what's next. What's clear is that Muhsinah did not spend a bit of that time in vain. A creative to the core, Muhsinah has chosen to traverse new territory with her sound and pulled it off flawlessly.
Throwing in some rock, dance, and even punk, Muhsinah might go through a single track sharing likeness with both Kenna and Brandy, while still being herself. She's your secret favorite radio hit, your throwback punk jam from middle school, and your underground genre-shifter all at the same time – homegirl is not playing any games.
After winning a trip to Aruba to open for Jennifer Hudson, an inspired Muhsinah turned a single EP into her Gone "double EP" – meaning two EP's in one. The first EP is called Urban, while the second one is called Suburban. Enter your email into the widget below to download Gone!
