"Our Knoxville Journey" West Knoxville by askgriff
West Knoxville Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 5 photos
So Becki booked us the cheapest hotel she could find. Which is fine... and I can't complain TOO much because they do offer a full-service, 24-hour CB Repair shop... and free vittles every mornin.
** UPDATE: In three words... "NO FRICKIN WAY!"
We booked our airline tickets, rental car, and hotel through Travelocity.com. The web site for the Knoxville Travelodge says, "Newly remodeled rooms." Riiiiight. If they were remodeled by John Carpenter... and then lived in by a family of 18 hillbillies with oozing, open sores. It was gross.
Not ONLY did they not have our no-smoking room with two beds (the only room open was a smoking room with 1 bed... stuff splattered on the wall (which could have been dried blood)... something smeared and dried on the chair... and something black growing in the bathtub. The smell of smoke was overwhelming. (And looking at the rooms, if you WERE lucky enough to get a no-smoking room, you would be between and under smoking rooms on all sides.
Not only that, but when we checked in, they charged our credit card $294 ($49 a day)... even though we already PAID for it through Travelocity. We got them to credit our account back (we assumed) so we called Travelocity to let them know.
Travelocity said they could't find us another hotel in Knoxville for the same price. WHA?! Becki told them, I can see a Motel 6 and a Days in across the street! Nope... wouldn't work. Finally we get them to credit us back as well so we can rent our own hotel. Or so we thought.
Attempting to check into the Motel 6, we discover that the strange activity in our bank account (charge, credit, credit) has caused our account to be frozen. Normally no big deal, except that our "charge card" is taken directly from our checking. :)
Travelocity says that we will be credited back... in 3-5 business days. <sigh>
Thankfully we withdrew $300 cash to cover food and travel expenses... but here's a little-known fact (at least it's something *I* didn't know)... you can't pay for hotel rooms with cash! WHA?!
So there we were... hadn't slept in almost 34 hours... no hotel... no access to credit cards or checking account... hotels wouldn't take cash... Becki's in tears... I'm falling asleep...
Thank GOD we have family (my aunt and uncle) who moved from Ukiah to Knoxville 7 months ago... and they were happy to let us stay with them.
More about that next...
- Pros:beautiful area, lakes, rivers, trees, fishing, restaurants, shopping, everything you could want and more!
- Cons:Knoxville Travelodge -- it really sucks.
- In a nutshell:I love this place. It's 10 times better than I even imagined it -- but I haven't experienced the humidity yet.

We're often asked about taxes for a property (they're interested in buying), and the breakdown of taxes.
Unfortunately due to privacy changes, we currently are unable to provide options for reverse search for APN info, or address information reveal. And as real estate agents, we do have to instruct our buyers to conduct the research, regarding taxes, on their own.
But, don't fret, we can help you find the info and answers to your questions! You always want the direct source information on such important data. I know, I know … sorry this post was much more helpful when we could be self-sufficient with our research, but now much of it needs to be done in person now. Bummer, yes … but we can see how this might have created some issues.
You can though, still find your tax bill information, if you have your APN number already. If you don't, APN numbers can be retrieved in person, from: Placer County Assessors office – 530-889-4300

Ministry changes deny teacher's expertise
Relevant offers
Dargaville & Districts
Teacher Mary Heerikhuisen-Beekman was told to go back to school or leave.
It was a hard call after 38 years on the job. The dedicated teacher who spent the past eight years as a supplementary learning support teacher decided to go, saying more study would be a "waste of time and money".
Her predicament was a result of a Ministry of Education merger of the supplementary learning support (SLS) and resource teacher: learning and behaviour services (RTLB).
SLS teachers are now required to complete a post-graduate diploma and the one-on-one role of the teachers will be lost.
Mrs Heerikhuisen-Beekman, affectionately known as Mrs Mary, was one of two Northern Wairoa SLS teachers. This year they worked with 10 students who were at least six years below the required standard - the equivalent of a 12-year-old working at a 6-year-old's level.
Mrs Heerikhuisen-Beekman says she is "sick with worry" about what will happen to her students under the new system.
"RTLB and SLS have completely different job roles and they've swept them all on one heap, but it's not one size fits all," she says.
Dargaville Intermediate School principal Brendon Lucich said goodbye to Mrs Heerikhuisen-Beekman at an emotional farewell and thanked her for the tender love and care she has given some of his most needy children.
He says to ask such an experienced woman to go back to the books is ridiculous.
"I'm a patient man but I couldn't do Mary's job."
Mr Lucich says this is just one of a series of damaging education reforms.
The ministry proposed to close down Salisbury Residential School earlier this year but a judge's ruling declared the move unlawful.
"It's the state failing to honour its obligation to its people," Mr Lucich says.
The ministry says a 2010 speical education review showed the old system was too complex and fragmented.
It says public submissions were supported by a national evaluation report by the Education Review Office.
The Government's four-year commitment to achieve a fully inclusive education system by 2014 resulted from the review.
The amalgamation was finalised in August and will take effect at the start of the 2013 school year.

Yeah, I don't know that he would. Schooling Craig Ehlo, Dan Majerle and Jeff Hornacek one-on-one is an easier match-up than running through Shaquille O'Neal (w/ Grant) David Robinson (w/ Rodman) and Patrick Ewing (w/ Oakley) head-to-head.
I think Hearns is greater than Hagler all together. He fought more great fighters and moved up to different weights and I think the totality of his accomplishments eclipses Hagler. Not much , but a little. Marvin was a great middleweight. I would have liked to have seen him try to move up in weight and fight at light heavyweight. Whether people say he could not beat Spinks or not, it is something all fighters try and do eventually. And Hagler wanted all the lower weight legends to fight him. Naturally he should have been able to move up and fight Spinks.. And about Hearns over Hagler. if look at Hearns title winning fights. He beat Cuevas (10 title defense champion) Benitez (3 time champ) and Virgil Hill (10 title defenses and undefeated), then beat Duran at 154 at a weight Duran won a title at . Tommy moving around in weight and being first man to win titles in 4 and 5 divisions and first man to win the light heavyweight title (2 times) after winning the welterweight title. How many guys have won the light heavyweight title after winning the welt? And from a undefeated titlist who had 10 title defenses.
I agree one hundred percent. It's amazing to me how people look at Leonard-Hagler and Hagler-Spinks as two completely different situations because Leonard considered and toyed with the idea, while it didn't even cross Hagler's ****ing mind. You got fights at middleweight? Leonard has fights at Welterweight. Spinks needs you? You need Leonard! Bet SRL felt dumb when the most skilled fighter of all-time showed him how to beat him, to make him be the aggressor, don't let him counter...but if he'd won then '82, Hagler wouldn't of yet been the arguable Top 3middleweight we know him as but, overrated and dethroned by a natural welterweight. Which is what happened anyways, but there would be less to holler and groan over than -- 10 oz gloves. I never knew Hearns and Mugabi werent scheduled for 12 in a 20 foot ring. That's news.

I came up with this idea when contemplating on people that have tattoos and what happens after several years that have passed and they still have that piece of art on their bodies. They made a tattoo at a significant moment in their lives, so when they see it, they remember that moment, so that's when I realized that Tattoos are actually history that is written on our bodies.

Re: Eli's Tortured Gymnastics
Enough with the tortured analogies, Eli. I'm not making an analogy. The significance of the source being at Time (rather than coming from inside the government) just highlights what I've been saying all along: The media was complicit in the government wrong doing (the retaliation against Wilson). Therefore, it's fitting that the whistle blower is a member of the media. There really was no difference between the W.H. and the Media on this all along. Time was doing Bush's bidding, and now, someone at Time is doing the right thing by giving the evidence to Newsweek to expose that collaboration. At least somebody still understands the role of the media: Exposing government corruption, not aiding and abetting it. No analogies. This source is literally calling bullshit on both the media and karl Rove.

How to Keep Books in Good Condition
Books are truly intriguing objects. They link our physical selves to the reality stored within the book's pages. They serve as memories, as lessons, and so much more. They can contain things from kids' stories to complicated methods of hacking. Unfortunately, books eventually become granted parts of our everyday lives, and are therefore sometimes not treated with the respect they deserve. If you want to learn how to keep your books in excellent condition, or convince others to do so, read on!
1Make a cover for the book. Even if it is just a plastic sleeve to protect it from staining or scratch marks, it will do. If you are using wrapper paper or any other opaque cover, write the name of the book on the cover (or you won't know which book you're looking at!).
2Do not turn the corners! It can be extremely annoying to go to the library, find a good book and discover that the previous reader has folded over the top corners of the book. Instead, use a bookmark, or even memorize the page number. That way, you will exercising your brain, albeit in a simple way, and improving your memory!
3Learn how to properly turn the pages of a book. Hold the book closed in both hands and then lean the cover of the book into your left hand. Then use your left thumb to open the book. Finally, with the book open and your left hand on the cover, stretch your left thumb across to the next page and gently pull it across. It can be quite confusing to start off but you'll get used to it.
4Don't eat and/or drink anything when you're reading a book. However, some people like to drink a hot beverage while reading, like hot chocolate, coffee or Tea. This is fine as long as you sit up when you're drinking it. In general though, be careful not to spill anything on the book. The stains never go away.
5Enjoy reading. Try to connect reading with relaxation and peace. If you have children running around and screaming while you're reading, you won't get as nice an experience as reading in a quiet setting. Save reading for bedtime. Of course, if you're reading a textbook in order to study for a test, do it as soon as possible so you can maximize the amount of information you take in. There's no need to worry about reading your textbook at bedtime to enjoy; it's very doubtful that you love reading textbooks.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- If you're reading with your child or your child is starting to read he/she might bend the pages and tear little bits out of the corners. This is fine just as long as they're little children's books, but as your child reaches the age of about six, seven or even eight you should go over how to look after a book with them.
- If you have a limited edition book that will be worth quite a lot in the future, it's probably best to keep it in a plastic sleeve and put it carefully in a secure place like a safe or chest. Yes, there are people who will steal expensive books.
- Always place your books in a safe place, free of hazardous materials to maintain optimum quality.

Let the Hackers Learn
Schools don't teach hacking, and the internet hides it for both profit, and fear of punishment. This makes learning, in a legal way, very difficult; so we developed a site where anyone can create any security related challenge they want. This talk is about how we keep our server safe and secure while letting our users make any mistake they want so they can teach the world about all the web based exploits.

Adventures with weird machines thirty years after "Reflections on Trusting Trust"
It's been thirty years since Ken Thompson's famous "Reflections on Trusting Trust" (well, 29, but what's an off-by-one?). Back then, few hackers expected to actually encounter a planted bug, and now we speculate what commonly used software might not have them. But, if we somehow managed to eliminate all bugs, could we then trust software? We believe that the answer is "not really": bugs are a part of the problem but by far not all of it.
Any complex enough input is indistinguishable from bytecode for a "weird" virtual machine hiding in the parser. Unless we radically redesign data formats, telling what data could do when fed to software is much harder than it needs to be. For code, of course, it's known to be undecidable, but it may surprise you how many "tables" are as good as code: for example, so are ELF relocations + dynamic symbols, and so are IDT+GDT+TSS for an ia32 processor (no instructions needed for a Turing-complete computation). This talk will summarize two years of our explorations with @BxSays and @JulianBangert of such "weird machine" programming environments, and what these weird machines mean for "Trusting Trust" beyond bugs.
Sergey Bratus
Sergey Bratus believes that hacking has become a distinct computing research and engineering discipline: while academia focuses on abstractions, models, and frameworks, hackers expose "weird machines" inside actual systems, and show how much unexpected computation power they are capable of. On his day job as a Research Assistant Professor at Dartmouth College, he is extremely fortunate to work with brilliant students who hack ELF, DWARF, 802.11, 802.15.4, and many other nice things.

If the dog is aggresive towards my dog, chances are it might be aggresive towards me too. I would say it could be justifiable if you felt your life was in danger. Your dog just happened to be there with you. Again, its one of those situtions I'd have to be there before I could tell you what I'd do.
It depends on the dog!!
If your poodle is attacked by a jack russell and you shoot a 20lb dog you should expect trouble!! once the dog gets, say over 60lbs growling then you may be ok
There are few breeds that would stand there and fight after a kick to the ribs.

In Colorado the killing of the dog would likely be legal becauseHowever i am not sure how good an affirmative defense that would be for the charge of discharging a firearm where prohibited ( such as a municipality ) . So imho you would be ok on killing a vicious animal but might be in trouble for shooting a gun in town .Colorado Revised Statutes 33-3-106-3 Excessive damage - permit to take wildlife - harassment by dogs states: "Nothing in this section shall make it unlawful to trap, kill, or otherwise dispose of bears, mountain lions, or dogs in situations when it is necessary to prevent them from inflicting death or injury to livestock or human life and additionally, in the case of dogs, when it is necessary to prevent them from inflicting death or injury to big game other than bear or mountain lion and to small game, birds, and mammals. The division may bring a civil action against the owner of any dog inflicting death or injury to any big game other than bear or mountain lion and to small game, birds, and mammals for the value of each game animal injured or killed."

Criminals are looking for victims, not opponents.
I had a problem (in FL) with a neighbor's dog attacking our dog. I was unarmed at the time (pre-CWP and dog and I were running) so I had to fight the pit bull off bare-handed (our dog is pretty passive).
I called the sheriff's office and was told the following (this goes back a few years, so it may have changed). If both dogs are off the leash and on public property (such as a street) the fight is between the dogs. If my dog is on the leash or in my yard, I can do anything to the attacking dog to get him to stop except discharge a firearm within 300 feet of a dwelling, including my own. Naturally, if the dog is attacking a human, all bets are off.
I don't know what the mix of state vs. county ordinances was. I do know that when I called the sheriff's office and asked the question, they gave me a number straight to the particular deputy who apparently was the expert on this kind of situation.
I thought over that exact problem a lot when I was going through the process of getting my CWP. When walking the dog where we live now, I keep him on a fairly short leash so he can't reach the road from the sidewalk or get into various other types of trouble. If a dog is heading our way who seems bent on attack, it will be difficult to be sure whether he's after me or the dog. But now in a more suburban setting, there is the issue of what's beyond the dog in case I miss. That's why I spend some of my time at the range shooting with my strong hand while holding something in my weak hand to simulate the leash.
But yes, I would absolutely kill another dog to protect my own.
"An armed society is a polite society." -- Robert A. Heinlein
IMHO the attacking dog is always after you rather than your pet . If you need to drop the leash to establish a safe, accurate two handed grip to fire the straight line to where YOU ( and your pet ) were standing will establish that lol . Of course one would want to get the leash back in hand as fast as possible so that ones dog would not become either a safety issue for motorists or a public nuisance .it will be difficult to be sure whether he's after me or the dog.

The dog would have to be an immediate threat to YOU as well as your dog in order to legally shoot it... are you catching on here?
Like, I tried to break up the fight and the dog turned on ME.

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
Laws aside, you should be able to defend your pets, but most states don't allow what - on this board - would be seen as "an appropriate plan of action."
Be careful out there. It's not worth losing your RIGHT to defend yourself and your family because you shot someone else's pet.

U.S. Navy vet 1981-1992
i just have a little puffball dog that would hide behind me the minute it thought the other dog was after it, so i would be able to shoot the offending dog in self defense as it would have to go through me to get my dog. and i HAVE fired at a coyote in my backyard with a .22 rifle while it was stalking my dog out on her lead, but it was a downhill shot into a creek bottom, so the there was a good, safe backstop.
If my dogs are in harms way from a malicious (or careless for that matter) psycho or a wild beast, it will have to work itself out in court/with the coroner. Canines transcend "property" in my book, and I'd take/give a bullet for 'em.

A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week. ----Patton
I've never seen a dog fight that I could not break-up either by kicking the snot out of one of them or by picking something up and lowering the boom on him.
Dogs rarely, rarely will attack to kill immediately ... you usually have time to react by grabbing something or kicking. If you kick, and then he bites you, then imho, if you feel you are in danger at that point, you have grounds to shoot ... but that would be drastic imho and I have never had it happen in years of rescuing some pretty big, mean, dogs.
Another alternative is to use some sort of pepper spray and if he has latched onto your dog, just lean down and give him a good shot straight up the nostrils.
At our compound, where we have at times upwards of fifty or sixty rescues, we use ammonia in a spray bottle to break-up fights.
I would have a hard hard hard time justifying shooting one unless there was absolutely no other choice and I was already pretty bloodied.
What you think about, you do ... what you do, you become.
'So, the dog attacked you, Sir ...'
'No, it attacked my dog, and I just -'
'So, the dog attacked you, Sir ...'
'No, not me, my d-'
'So, the dog attacked you, Sir ...'
... after the third time, he got the drift!!

The inclusion of animals in therapeutic activities, known as animal-assisted intervention (AAI), has been suggested as a treatment practice for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This paper presents a systematic review of the empirical research on AAI for ASD. Fourteen studies published in peer-reviewed journals qualified for inclusion. The presentation of AAI was highly variable across the studies. Reported outcomes included improvements for multiple areas of functioning known to be impaired in ASD, namely increased social interaction and communication as well as decreased problem behaviors, autistic severity, and stress. Yet despite unanimously positive outcomes, most studies were limited by many methodological weaknesses. This review demonstrates that there is preliminary "proof of concept" of AAI for ASD and highlights the need for further, more rigorous research.

MIAMI (AP) - The third federal trial of the Miami terror
suspects dubbed the "Liberty City Six" is set to begin with jury
selection next week.
Federal prosecutors will try to persuade a jury that six men
from a poor Miami neighborhood were a blossoming al-Qaida cell bent
on overthrowing the U.S. government. Authorities said the men
planned to destroy Chicago's 110-story Sears Tower.
Trials in 2007 and 2008 ended in hung juries for the six, with a
seventh man acquitted after the first trial. Jurors in both cases
said later they were skeptical of prosecutors' claims that Narseal
Batiste - the alleged ringleader - was trying to orchestrate a
grandiose bloodbath when he had money problems and a difficult time
keeping his construction business afloat.

Welcome to the Lenten season
Published: Wednesday, March 5, 2014 at 8:56 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 5, 2014 at 8:56 a.m.
Looking around today, there are hardly any signs of the huge community celebrations that were going on just a day ago.
Where there had been crowded parade routes, today there are newly cleaned streets and sidewalks.
The whole mood of our region has changed.
The carefree and raucous Carnival spirit has given way to the solemn reflection of Lent, the time when many Christians turn from the feast of Mardi Gras to the weeks of spiritual preparation for Easter.
Lent begins today with Ash Wednesday and runs through Easter, which falls on April 20. The total period of Lent is 40 days, but that number does not include the Sundays of Lent.
Over the coming weeks, Christians prepare themselves for the arrival of Easter, when Jesus is believed to have risen from the dead.
They do this in many instances by making personal sacrifices, giving up a special food or a particular vice for the season of Lent.
They also spend time over the coming weeks in introspection, taking stock of their spiritual lives and looking forward to the coming holy day.
While these are spiritual to the practicing Christians who observe Lent in these ways, they can also be meaningful to others.
Introspection and sacrifice are useful tools, giving us the chance to look within and make personal commitments to change, if only for a few weeks.
These are good ways to go about personal growth.
However you choose to observe the weeks of Lent, embark on them today as we put aside the Mardi Gras celebrations that are still so fresh in our minds.
Because the traditions of faith are still so strong here, Christian practices such as Mardi Gras and Lent are particularly meaningful to so many of our friends and neighbors, co-workers and business associates.
You will see many of them today with the sign of the cross etched in ashes across their foreheads, signs that they have been to Mass to begin the Lenten season.
Whether you are a Christian who believes in the spiritual significance of Lent as a preparation for Easter or are simply observing the end of the Mardi Gras season of merrymaking, may the coming weeks be filled with contemplation and inward observation.
Carnival is over, and Lent has begun. May it be meaningful for you.
