Voters in Mountain View could be asked in November to approve a charter amendment that would result in higher pay for the City Council.
The council voted 4-3 Tuesday night to draft a ballot measure that would increase its pay from $600 per month to $1,000. Future annual adjustments would be tied to either changes in the Consumer Price Index or cost-of-living increases doled out to city workers, whichever is smaller.
Council members Margaret Abe-Koga, Ronit Bryant and John Inks cast the dissenting votes.
The Council Procedures Committee had proposed bumping the amount to $1,200, which is what council members would be making today if an inflation clause had been included in an amendment that last changed compensation in 1984, according to Councilman Mike Kasperzak.
"This really isn't even a raise," he said. "It's a raise in dollars, but it's not a raise in purchasing value."
The council, however, was uncomfortable putting a measure in front of voters that doubles its pay.
"I think $1,200 is going to be difficult to sell," said Councilman Jac Siegel.
The city charter ties council pay to population growth. The last increase of $100 came in 2012, when the city topped 75,000 residents. The next one isn't due until the population crests 150,000.
Kasperzak argued that increasing council pay would attract a more diverse pool of candidates during elections.
"We're not getting a good representative group of the public on the council," Kasperzak said.
Abe-Koga, Bryant and Inks disagreed that additional pay would change the composition of the council.
"It's not the pay that would necessarily encourage folks to run," Abe-Koga said. "It is about the time."
The job takes 20 to 40 hours per week, said Abe-Koga, adding that it topped 40 hours when she was mayor. But she said it wasn't "realistic" to cut down on the amount of work.
"Even though we're a mid-size city of 75,000 people, we have a lot of issues here," she said.
Echoing Kasperzak's position, Vice Mayor John McAlister said he viewed the measure as a way to recover money he personally spends to travel to regional meetings and powwow with constituents.
"I'm not trying to make money," he said. "I just want to cover my costs. And I think that's fair for the time I put into it."
Whether voters will see the measure in November isn't certain. The council could choose not to move forward when it reviews a draft in the coming weeks, particularly if it plans to seek a bond. A measure to change the city charter would need a simple majority to pass.
"In an election year, it doesn't look that great to have a revenue measure and a compensation increase on the ballot," Mayor Chris Clark said. "There are election dynamics that we need to consider."

"The card was very well made. I didn't select the extra inspection option and it came out perfect! It is very elegant and a great choice!"
"Excellent quality. Wonderful to have the option of placing a picture on the back. Customer Service Rep worked with me to make it look balanced."
"The quality and style of our invitations are wonderful. The black and pink are not as vibrant as shown - sort of chalkboard black and lighter pink. Loved the ease of personalizing and ordering. Had to call several times with concerns regarding shipping due to a short time frame and the customer service was amazing! We received our invites as ordered in two days! Highly recommend using them for all wedding invites!"
"These invitations are of very nice quality, the design is very stunning. I like that the invitations are printed on good and firm material, not flimsy or thin in the least. Loved the coordinating print on the back of invitation.They were perfect! I was even more delighted that when they were received, I started getting texts and phone calls about how beautiful the invitations were, stating stunning, beautiful, sophisticated, and very classy!"
"This invitation was perfect for my daughter's wedding shower. She's incorporating a bicycle theme in her wedding and this image was just what I was looking for. I was able to change the background color to seaglass which was great since her wedding is at the beach. The paper was the perfect thickness and guests have made very positive comments on the invitation. Great job!"

Race restrictions?
Edit: And... how do you handle things like...
Ranger/Scout 5 with the Swift Hunter feat? There are other examples I just thought I'd use one that is obvious.

Never played gestalt before, I'm thinking of a good sorcerer/favored soul of a demonic bloodline (no template, but feat).
What pantheon you will use?

Thomas Mallon - Watergate
Thursday, August 9, 2012
6:30pm @ Central Library
Many historians have written about the Watergate conspiracy. But can a novelist throw new light on this traumatic moment in American political history?
Thomas Mallon does just that in Watergate, using drama and comedy to take readers behind the scenes of a national scandal, creating "a universal tragicomedy of ludicrous errors and malignant crimes, epic hubris and sorrow."
Mallon is the author of Henry and Clara, Two Moons, Dewey Defeats Truman, and Aurora 7.

My best game was when i was 14, i am 15 now. i have 21 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assist. I shot 8/14 from the field. 1/1 from three. 6/7 from the free throw line. i had no turnovers and i has 3 steasl and 2 blocks. i was 5'7 at the time. our record was 8-4 at the time, there record(the other team) was 10-2. We won 74-71 in overtime. the average height on the other team was probably 5'10.5 inches. I have a 27 inch max verticle. My wingspan is 5'9. Is this a good game?
triple double game, nice!
My best game was actually against a college team (im playin high school now). I "hurt my leg" (ended up being a pretty bad ankle sprain) and my coach taped it. I insisted in getting back to the hardwood. After he put me back in, we were trailing 63-60 with 17 seconds left. The pg inbounded the ball and we started runnin a play, but the ball was tipped by someone from the other team and had another inbound, but this time with 4 seconds left. I was free throw line extended, in the perimeter, and i called for a screen and crossed over a guy, who fell on his butt after being severely humilliated (haha) and hit the 3 ptr to go to overtime.
During overtime, i made 3 more 3 pointers and a couple layups, 2 blocks, and we won the game by 2. It was a final, and lead us to an undefeated season. Stat line included 28 pts, 11 rbs, 3 assists, 4 blocks, no turnovers, 2 steals. It was like a month ago, and remember so clearly. Hope you enjoyed
It's no triple-double, but my best game was this past season, I was kind of like a 6th man/starter depending on the game and I play the 4 usually. But our starting PG got hurt landing on his wrist (broke it) in the first couple minutes after tip-off and our backup was awful at defense. we were playing our main rival and their best player was the PG he has like 1800 career point right now and he's going into his senior year, so my coach put me on him because I was the team's best defender after our starting PG. I held him to 2 points and 3 assists (His worst game of the season), stole the ball from him 3 times and had 7 total, also put up 13 points on the other end. I had better scoring games and stuff, but I think that was my favorite game that I've played so far.
My best game was last season. I was 13; 5'12; played at center/ forward
My team entered the 3rd quarter losing by 20 points and 5 minutes after the half we were only losing by 6 because I scored 14 points, but then I twisted my foot and went to the bench. The other team started scoring on rebounds because I was the only tall player in my team. I almost couldn't walk but I insisted with my coach so he would sub me in. And that's what happened, I entered the game and i was just walking up and down the court because I couldn't run, but I still scored 10 more points in the 4th and I scored an and-one with 20 seconds left in the game. My team was winning by 3 points (63-60) and the other team's coach called a timeout. I blocked the 3-point attempt and my team won the game
My stats were 30 points, 21 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 blocks and 5 steals 14-17 fg. The inconvenient of this situation was that walking and jumping I had hurt my foot worse than before and I had to stay out for 1 month but it was still worth it because my team got the W.
Hard work beats talent whem talent doesn´t work hard.- Kevin Durant
Triple Double nice, i had one to!
I started at SF then.
I was in 6th grade and the other team was consistently ahead 5-8 points. In the second quarter I began attacking the basket. I made two shots in 25 seconds and kept on rolling. At halftime I had 4 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists. In the second half I took control of the game. I had an and-one halfway through the third quarter to give my team their first lead. I then drove to the hoop and started dishing off to my teamates. In the early fourth, I drew a charge to put their best player in foul trouble. I only had three shot atempts all game but I made them all. I was 5-5 from the line as well. I finished with 11 points, 13 rebounds, 14 assists, and zero turnovers. To go along with that I had 5 blocks and 6 steals in a monstrous defensive effort. We ended up winning 47-43.

Hey. Disclaimer: No one from Curse nor any admin/moderator prompted me to make this thread or response; these are simply my views and opinions given Thaya's thread. I can't cover every single item in there because I do not play WoW and have not in a while so I feel there are some aspects of that thread in which I'm likely not knowledgeable enough to address. Maybe I am, maybe I'm not but I don't want to overstep my bounds on the initial post.
That being said, I've taken a fair amount of quotes from that thread and I'll try to address them specifically but something else needs to be said in a more general sense. Here's the thing. A fair amount of reports or comments in threads say things like, "Are the moderators ever going to do their job?" "Where's the moderation?" And so forth. What I can about that is, I don't think the negative attitude really helps. The report DOES help. But why insult the people you're effectively reaching out to for help? This is a more minor issue but I just wanted to address that. I enjoy moderating AJ as I used to be a PvP player who actively put out content in the Priest section, wrote some guides, responded to all sorts of PMs (both in game and on AJ) as well as made videos. In essence, I wanted to be a moderator to give back to the community that helped me perpetuate my content while assisting other players. That being said, I do it on my own time, for free. I'm not mad, upset, really annoyed, crying or any of that. Just please keep in mind that for us, we're volunteering to help out.
The community has the ability to call in to question the moderators abilities and is doing so in Thaya's very own thread. Thaya does it in a very respectful manner and that's all that I'm really asking for. I mean how effective would it be if you went to your professor's office after class and started the conversation like, "Hey Professor <name>, your class is a load of shit and you suck at teaching. When are you ever going to make your class more communicable? By the way, here's a problem I'm having with the past assignment"
You get the point, so I'll leave that. Again, I'm not mad/upset/annoyed blah blah at anyone specifically here NOR am I trying to be disrespectful; I'm just asking that if you have an issue with something, please bring it up in a respectful manner.
The biggest thing I wanna address is this. Arenajunkies is a collective of people whose primary focus in WoW is PvP. It was made by PvPers, for PvPers. That being said, we're all equal. Equal how? We're all part of the same community. And for this community to not only survive but also thrive, you have to help out as well. You get out what you put in. So what do I mean by that? Everyone, lurker or prominent poster, if you have an issue with something PLEASE UTILIZE THE REPORT FUNCTION. I, and any other mod, get a notification in the top right of the screen indicating a new report has been made. Think of it like Facebook in terms of layout and visibility. Off the top of my head, there are about 20 main forums and many with sub forums contained within those main forums. And within those subforums, there are a myriad of threads with even more responses per thread. There is SOME proactive moderation, but I'd assume a fair/good amount is retroactive. It doesn't take more than 15-30 seconds (or less) to generate a report. Every single report gets attended to. If you want the useless bashing post to be handled, report it. If you want the off topic, useless post to be handled, report it.
Think of it as how a government or police force functions I guess. Sure, the administration is aware of some issues and proactively tries to solve them but without voter movements or civilian reports, there would simply be some issues/crimes that would never get attended to.
There were 9 total reports addressed today. Does the community feel that there were only 9 posts since the 12:01 AM CST Wednesday, that were worthy of being a reportable offense? I'd assume not. If you want the moderation to go up, then help us help you.
One last thing. There are lots of people giving very general advice. "There is no reward for coming here." "People get to do whatever they want, fix that." There's a lot of general complaints about what's not working. So how about the flip side, what would YOU do? Some suggestions were made. "Remove the NAO subforum." "Maybe make some of the junkie only sections available to people of all access levels" and so on.
I think to fix a problem, you have to do more than just point it out. I'm not saying the burden of fixing problems should be entirely on the posters of AJ but maybe try to take it a step further if possible.
1. Find the issue.
2. State the issue.
3. Make a suggestion(s).
Again, it is helpful to say, "I don't like x, can you please fix x?" But if you can continue that sentence, "I don't like x, can you please fix x by doing y?" it might help more.

Same thing goes for the 2v2/3v3/5v5 subsections of the general discussion section. I don't think they serve any purpose whatsoever anymore. You could drag them out and let non-junkies access them, so there are actual discussions about 2v2/3v3/5v5 matchups instead of being a collection of threads about end of season wintrading.
With some decent moderation, this could work wonders. I don't mean EJ-esque strict moderation. Just remove all the trash replies and warn/ban douchebags. It won't be that hard, really.
- "NAO Invitational Tournament", when was the last NAO?
And lastly, be nicer to each other. When there's no textual references and all experience and knowledge is shared verbally, it matters more than ever.
I believe many of your issues are addressed in my long post before this quote. In regard to specifically the NAO subforum; there have been motions in the AJ Skype channel to get rid of the NAO subforum. Moderators do not have the power to remove/add forums, only admins. If you want to speed up the process, perhaps address one of the admins. Maybe Diziet or Rapture.

a)There is no sense of reward or punishment in those forums and in the game now. You can be a saint and get nothing or be a complete jackass and get the respect of this mob called junkies, just because you got "swag" (/puke)
c) The moderation is, as the word says, moderate. Moderators are too easy on everyone. Bans are rare. Infractions have too high of a cap. Any sociopath that had problems with his real life, can come here and open fire on everyone without any kind of punishment, UNLESS, someone, somewhere decides to push the report button which is scarcely used
f)You get the most +rep for posting moronic bullshit and childish insults. Good posts are rarely rewarded.
This AJ, is sending all the new players to either skill-capped or streamers. How many new players are willing to pay money to learn how to pvp? Quite a few. How many new players would pvp if they didn't have to pay to go through the rough learning curve? A lot.
tl;dr If moderation in this place doesn't become way more strict, if no incentives are given to junkies for making guides (even that pet giveaway that Curse does), this situation will keep recycling itself perpetually.
a) I cannot speak for in-game punishment, but as far as forum punishment goes, member are infracted and banned. They just are. I can look at the infraction page and see it first hand.
c) Perhaps the punishment is too lenient, I'm not sure. But I believe my long post may address that. The frequency at which reports come in, is relatively slow compared to how many "useless/bashing" posts there are judging by the amount of complaints in Thaya's thread.
f) Again, perhaps addressed in the long post.
Braindance, on 26 March 2013 - 01:16 AM, said:
There is a rant room. It's invite only and closed. I, nor any other moderator level user, has the ability to open it back up.
** Special note, you posting a Nazi emblem in Thaya's thread probably wasn't exactly useful and seems ironic given that you have issues with AJ.

But seriously I understand why rant room broke off and made it invite only, but they should have made something to replace it maybe? IDK.
I think opening rant room back up or creating a "rant room version 2" would be/should be something that happens. Something that is essentially moderation free I suppose, just how rant room is now. Also with some type of consent form "to sign", basically hitting "I accept" into the special functionality of rant room.

I think my original, long post addresses this. How are people dropping the ball and what would you suggest people do to fix it?

A Dance with the Dragon: The Vanished World of Peking's Foreign Colony
Julia Boyd
Wednesday, April 17, 2013
6:30pm @ Plaza Branch
Drawing on a variety of unpublished diaries and letters, Lady Julia Boyd describes Peking's foreign community in the first half of the 20th century, an exotic world filled with high-octane partying and populated with bigger-than-life individuals like novelist Pearl Buck, philosopher Bertrand Russell, Reginald Johnson (tutor to the last emperor), and the monarchy-rocking Wallis Simpson.
A world traveler and author, Lady Boyd is a former governor of the English-Speaking Union of the Commonwealth and a former Chairman of the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Council. Her husband, Sir John Boyd, is a former British ambassador to Japan.

Man rams truck into building to get child from DSS
Published: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 2:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 2:53 p.m.
Deputies say a Hendersonville man looking to remove his child from the custody of DSS backed his pickup truck through the front of the Henderson County Human Services building on Spartanburg Highway on Monday.
He left in handcuffs without his child.
Officers from the Henderson County Sheriff's Office say that Jorge Bravo Perez, 30, of 47 Boulder Heights Lane, backed his 1995 GMC pickup truck through the front doors of the building around 5:45 p.m.
Officers were at Perez's residence concerning a domestic dispute and learned he may be in route to the county Department of Social Services "attempting to gain entry and access" to his child, according to a news release issued Wednesday by the Sheriff's Office.
"As officers were responding to this information, Bravo-Perez backed his vehicle through the front doors of the health department building which is connected with DSS. Officers immediately arrived and took him into custody," according to the release.
Although officers say he "rammed through the front doors into the foyer area" of the building, he "did not actually gain access to the agency and staff area."
No one was injured in the crash.
Perez was charged with one count each of injury to real property, resisting, delaying and obstructing a public officer, and providing fictitious information to an officer. He is being held in the Henderson County Detention Center in lieu of $17,000 bond.
Damage to the building was estimated at $3,000.

super sweet people and a great location!
Highly recommended to visit Copenhagen!
super lieve mensen, en een super locatie!
Een echte aanrader om Kopenhagen te bezoeken!
The apartment is very good situated, in a dead-end quiet street, just 5 min walking distance from city center. There are grocery shops and restaurants basically at the door of this place. There is also a farmers market and a deli nearby.
The room was really nice, clean and roomy with big comfortable double bed. The kitchen was ok for having breakfast, but it was a little too small so it was hard to cook at the same time as the host family, but with the selection and quality of restaurants around, this was not a problem. Memo and Camilla and their little son are very friendly and helpful hosts, they are happy to answer all your questions and make you feel welcome all the time.
Very friendly and cool family, would not hesitate to stay with them again.
We had a great time in Kopenhagen! This, due to the location were we slept. Memo was a great host. Very cosy. The bedroom was clean and very comfortable. sharing the appartement with memo, was very nice cause memo gave us many tips, were to go eat, drink or shop! The bed itself was very comfortable.
Thank you very much memo, next time in Rotterdam!
The positive thing about our stay was the friendliness of the owners, the room (it is big and comfortable) and location of the object (you can walk to the center).
However, I would not recommend this accommodation for a romantic break or spend a few days with family "evening" looking for tranquility, as they have a 3 year old that made noise.
Lo positivo de nuestra estancia fue la amabilidad de los propietarios, la habitación (es grande y cómoda) y la ubicación del alojamiento (puedes ir andando al centro).
No obstante, no recomendaría este alojamiento para una "velada" romántica o para pasar unos días en pareja buscando tranquilidad, pues tienen un hijo de 3 años que hacía ruido.
I had booked the room for two nights. It is located in a nice area, very well reachable from the metro and close to many places of interest. The owners, Memo and Camilla are very kind and very helpful for anything. The room is very clean and comfortable, would stay again!
Avevo prenotato la camera per due notti. Si trova in una bella zona, raggiungibile benissimo dalla metro e vicina a tanti luoghi d'interesse. I proprietari, Memo e Camilla, sono gentilissimi e molto disponibili per qualsiasi cosa. La stanza è molto pulita e comoda, ci tornerei volentieri!
I really enjoyed staying at Memo's room. The apartment is located next to the water in the beautiful part of Copenhagen, close to the many well-know places like Tivoli. The hosts are really nice and helpful. I recommend this offer :)
Very central location. Very friendly hosts. Clean large room. We enjoyed the day very much in Copenhagen.
Sehr zentrale Lage.
Sehr freundliche Gastgeber.
Sauberes großes Zimmer.
Wir haben die Tage in Kopenhagen sehr genossen.
It was great to spend the weekend in Memos room. Nice room, nice location, nice people. Ever again, Thank you.
We had a lovely stay in Copenhagen. The flat was very central and in a very nice location. Both Camille and Memo were really helpful and wonderful hosts.
We had a splendid stay in Copenhagen. The apartment is very nice, clean, and close to the metro station. Nevertheless, the location is perfect to walk to most of the sights in the city including the center, Nyhavn, the little mermaid...
Memo was a wonderful host and provided us with all we need. He always was more than happy to answer our question and had several good advices on where to go for us.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

GOLETA, Calif. (AP) -- Elliot Rodger pounded on the sorority house front door while, inside, the young women he yearned to slaughter were preparing for another Friday night.
The awkward 22-year-old was obsessed with exacting "retribution" for what he experienced as a lifetime of social and sexual isolation, and had planned meticulously to target as people as possible. But here again, he was denied access to those he felt should worship him.
So when no one answered after several minutes, Rodger improvised.
Walking around the corner, he found a group of students and opened fire, then took off in his black BMW through the streets of a college beach town buzzing with end-of-school year energy. Within 10 minutes, the rampage was over and Rodger was dead, apparently after shooting himself.
As authorities reconstructed the events, they would conclude that Rodger had stabbed three victims in his apartment, shot and killed three others at random, and injured 13 more either with gunshots or a car that he used as a battering ram. The mayhem unfolded within just one square mile, but included 12 crime scenes.
The killings began with the stabbings in the apartment that Rodger rented, inside a two-story courtyard building fronted by palm trees. Authorities have released few details, other than that all the victims were male and killed Friday.
Rodger then drove five blocks to the Alpha Phi sorority house near the University of California, Santa Barbara campus.
In rambling writings he titled "My Twisted World," Rodger detailed his plan to invade the sorority, which he concluded symbolized the world that tortured him -- beautiful women who would have spurned him in favor of the "obnoxious slobs" whom he also despised.
"I will sneak into their house at around 9:00 p.m. on the Day of Retribution, just before all the partying starts, and slaughter every single one of them," Rodger wrote. He knew the stucco house, with its neatly trimmed lawn and hedges, well: "I've sat outside it in my car to stalk them many times."
The double front door is heavy wood, with glass etchings of the sorority's shield and an electronic keypad to get in. Several women heard Rodger's "aggressive knocking," Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said. "Fortunately, no one opened."
Moments later came the first 911 call.
It was 9:27 p.m., and Rodger had left the door and within 20 paces encountered a group that included Veronika Weiss and Katherine Cooper. He shot and killed the two UCSB students, and wounded a third woman. All three were from the Delta Delta Delta sorority.
Two blocks and three minutes later, Rodger was at a local deli. There, he got out of his car, went inside and shot and killed Christopher Ross Michaels-Martinez. At least four other customers were inside, and surveillance video shows them scrambling for cover while a bullet hits the glass of a refrigerator door.
Sheriff's deputies responded to the scene and saw Rodger's BMW leaving, but did not know the shooter was at the wheel.
Soon after, Rodger was driving on the left side of another road so that he could be close to the sidewalk as he fired at two pedestrians. And then, more shots -- this time between Rodger and the first sheriff's deputy to engage with him.
Meanwhile, Ryan Ellis was wrapping up his Friday night service at Isla Vista Church, a makeshift house of worship inside a beach home on a street filled with students -- and on Friday night, parties.
A few dozen young adults were getting ready for hamburgers when shots rang out. Fireworks, someone said.
"I knew right away it was gunshots," said Ellis, who said he had been a Navy combat engineer in Afghanistan.
He ran out to the street and saw a cyclist lying on the ground, but no car around. "He was pretty messed up, lying up against a vehicle," said Ellis.
The cyclist, who was not identified, was one of two whom Rodger intentionally smashed with his car.
By now, officers were yelling at people to go inside and friends were texting friends not to go out.
After shooting at more pedestrians, Rodger encountered four sheriff's deputies running through a park. Three returned fire, and a bullet hit Rodger in his left hip, authorities said.
Speeding on, Rodger accelerated and hit another cyclist, who was thrown onto the hood with a force that crumpled the car's windshield. Soon after, Rodger careened into several parked cars. It was there, in the car, that he apparently shot himself.
"The police dragged a body out of the car," said UC Santa Barbara senior Kyley Scarlet, who was in a house next to where the car came to a halt. "It was him."
Pritchard reported from Los Angeles. Associated Press writer Gillian Flaccus in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

Saudi Oil Price Cut to Asia Linked to Market Share
From Trade Arabia
By Clyde Russell
Saudi Arabia's decision to cut oil prices to Asia for March cargoes by more than expected shows that the kingdom is keen to keep market share and that the region's demand is easing after winter.
By themselves, neither of these factors are a big surprise, but what was unexpected was the extent of the cut in Saudi Aramco's official selling price (OSP).
The world's largest oil exporter cut the OSP on its benchmark Arab Light grade to Asia to $1.95 a barrel above Oman/Dubai, down a sharp $1.50 from February's $3.45 premium.
Traders surveyed by Reuters ahead of the February 5 announcement had expected a cut of $1 a barrel in the OSP, meaning the Saudis delivered a 50 percent bigger reduction than estimated.
This took the premium to the lowest since October last year, and was also the biggest cut since February last year.
This means for the second year in a row, a large increase in the OSP at the start of the year has been followed by an equally large drop.
In common with February last year, Asian refiners had felt the increase in the OSP for February 2013 cargoes had been overdone and wasn't justified by market fundamentals.
This was especially the case since at the same time the Saudis were raising costs for Asian refiners, they were cutting them for European clients.

Eric Reid, the 49ers' first-round pick, inherited speed from his father. Eric Reid Sr. was a three-time All-American hurdler and an inductee into the LSU Athletic Hall of Fame.
Football? That comes from mom.
Sharon Guillory-Reid was a tight end and defensive end for the Baton Rouge Wildcats of the dearly departed Women's American Football League.
"This was full-contact women's tackle football. And I had the time of my life," she said with a laugh recently. "If I could go back and do it again, I'd do it in a heartbeat."
Alas, Guillory-Reid's pro football career lasted one meager season before Hurricane Katrina hastened the end of the Wildcats' existence.
These days, the part-time Bay Area resident hopes her son can have a more lasting impact on the football field. The 49ers traded up to nab Eric Reid with the NFL draft's 18th pick. Reid and his fellow rookies are taking part in a three-day rookie minicamp this weekend in Santa Clara.
The 6-foot-1, 213-pound safety was a key member of an LSU defense that ranked among the nation's best in points allowed, total yards and rushing yards.
In Reid, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh finally gets the man he tried so hard to lure to Stanford. Harbaugh launched a determined, if quixotic, recruiting pitch trying to land a kid dead set on LSU almost from birth. (The Reids, both LSU grads, live just 15 minutes from campus.)
Harbaugh refused to surrender, figuring his wild card was the former Wildcat: He tried to work through Sharon.
"His mom is a wonderful, wonderful person, and we really connected through the whole process," Harbaugh said. "(Eric) was a very, very fine student. That was something that was very important to his mother. So I felt like we had a shot."
They did: Guillory-Reid says now that she was so honored that such a renowned academic institution wanted her son that she tried to get Eric to at least make an official visit. Eric told her a trip to Stanford wouldn't make any difference: He was going to LSU.
The defensive back went on to be a two-time All-American and a member of the All-Southeastern Conference academic honor roll over his final two seasons. Reid became just the second LSU safety ever selected in the first round, joining LaRon Landry (2007).
Now, as Reid gets adjusted to the Bay Area, his first scouting report will come from Mom, who plans to use her knowledge of the area to get her son settled. Guillory-Reid lives in Louisiana but has been making regular trips to the Bay Area for the past eight years.
As a registered nurse licensed to work in several states, she has spent significant time at Highland General Hospital in Oakland, as well as at San Leandro Hospital. Guillory-Reid works on a per diem (as-needed) basis because she likes the flexibility it allows her in working her schedule around her family.
So, since 2005, Guillory-Reid has been heading out to the Bay Area for two- or three-week stints before returning to her permanent home in Louisiana. She's scheduled to be here now.
"She has a ton of flight miles," Eric said. "She can show me around here."
And, boy, was Harbaugh right about Sharon's emphasis on education. Eric Reid and his siblings couldn't watch TV until all their homework was done. And in the summers they had to read -- even if nothing was required by school. With a standard that might have prepared Reid for the 49ers, Mom and Dad demanded their kids attack schoolwork with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.
"They'd be like, 'Mom, you ought to be happy I got a B,'" Sharon said in a phone interview. "I'm like, 'No, a B for you is not acceptable to me. A B for another kid might be good, but I know what you're capable of. And you can easily make all A's."
When Eric got to the age where he wanted money for things like video games, his parents had a three-word answer: Get a job. By 15, Eric was working at a local water park. By 16, he was a Wal-Mart employee.
"I told him, 'I don't care if it's four hours or eight hours a week between practices: You work. You learn what it means to earn money,'" Guillory-Reid said. "I got him a little car, a 2001 Honda Civic -- in fact, I have it right now -- and told him that if he wanted to put gas money in it, he had to learn how to manage a budget."
Eric played football, basketball and followed in his father's fleet footsteps in track. Eric Sr. was the NCAA champion in the 110-meter hurdles as a senior in 1987.
Sharon, also an LSU grad, played recreational soccer, basketball and other sports -- before launching her short-lived career in the women's football league. Eric's gridiron scouting report: "I only saw a couple games. She was pretty good."
Along the way, both parents taught Eric that there's an academic side to sports.
"And he gets a really big kick out of studying playbooks and studying the other teams," Mom said. "Mentally, he knows what's going to happen next. He knows, 'If they do this, then, I'm going to do that.' "
On draft day, Eric explained that the discipline of childhood now translates to game days. There's a reason his LSU teammates named him a permanent captain in 2012.
"I think I'm a very cerebral player," he said. "I pride myself on knowing the defense. I pride myself on being able to get the guys lined up on the team, and being a great teammate and also doing my job.
"I'm very fortunate to be on such an incredible defense with the guys that are up there now. And I just can't wait to get to work."

Lena explains what Kuan Yin is telling her about the EEG periodicities: "These protective elements (the brainwaves) help our human bodies function and survive on this earth plane. However, this discussion involves the soul. Gravity holds our physical bodies in place. Our skin holds the spirit in place. Heavy layers of energy, karma (around the earth and the body), weigh us down. Every layer is different. The brain waves represent the different layers of consciousness. Each brainwave is a sort of gelatinous substance; layer upon layer; much like the onionskin metaphor. Accessing a certain layer accesses certain abilities [i.e. trance skills in the alpha range, dream abilities in the theta range, etc.]. They all work together perfectly. When an individual "hits" a certain layer, he can work (heal) certain issues.

WASHINGTON — The arm was found first, by a day hiker in a rugged, remote section of a Montana wildlife refuge. The body had been frozen in time — and rock — for ages, stuck in a death pose for posterity in Hell Creek sediments.
When paleontologists finished excavating the old bones, they had recovered one of the most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons ever, a major specimen that is coming to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History on a long-term loan.
The museum announced Thursday that it will borrow the T. rex for 50 years from the Army Corps of Engineers, which owns it, and the state of Montana, which has had it since the Late Cretaceous period.
The big beast — named the Wankel Rex, after Kathy Wankel, the rancher who made the prehistoric find — will be trucked to the Mall for National Fossil Day on Oct. 16, then put on temporary display until the museum's dinosaur exhibit closes for a $48 million renovation next spring. Eventually, the 35-foot-long skeleton will be mounted in a lifelike pose in the new dinosaur hall when it opens in 2019.
The trip will end the Smithsonian's long, frustrating search for the major-domo of the dinosaur world. It will also add considerable heft to the Natural History Museum's collection: Upon its arrival, the Wankel Rex will surpass just about every one of the roughly 127 million specimens and artifacts held by the world's second most-visited museum.
"It will be one of our most important and iconic objects," said Kirk Johnson, the Natural History Museum director. The Hope Diamond, displayed on the second floor, remains the crown jewel of the collection. But a natural history museum is nothing without dinosaurs, Johnson said — and no dinosaur captivates people quite like Tyrannosaurus rex.
"If you stand next to a real T. rex, it is just an awesome experience," he said. "Their teeth are the size of bananas. Their skulls are huge. They're one of the great predators of history. They're impressive in size, scale, everything. Just imagine an animal that big, that awesome, alive."
The Wankel Rex — which was estimated to have weighed six to seven tons — died in a riverbed near the eventual site of Fort Peck Reservoir.
By the time Kathy Wankel stumbled upon the first lower arm bones ever found from a T. rex, the land was controlled by the Corps. Thus, the Corps owns the skeleton, though the fossils have been conserved, studied and, for a period, displayed at Montana State University's Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman.
That the Corps had a T. rex to loan was news to many of its senior leaders.
"They didn't know we had a dinosaur," said Sonny Trimble, who oversees curation and management of archaeological collections for the Corps. People transfer, he said. Many retired. So, "the chief engineer doesn't wake up in the morning saying, How's our dinosaur doing?"
In fact, the Corps has two: Another T. rex — known as Peck's Rex — was found near Fort Peck in 1997. It, too, is at the Museum of the Rockies, where it will soon be displayed.
When Corps leaders learned that the Natural History Museum was interested in borrowing the Wankel Rex, he said, they were happy to oblige.
The Wankel Rex is currently crated and stored in a warehouse in Montana. (Secrecy abounds, given the sky-high prices the bones would fetch in the shadowy commercial fossil market.) At the Museum of the Rockies, the staff has been planning to say farewell to a very old friend.
"Some people are sad about it leaving — it's kind of like seeing your beloved kid go off to college and into the real world," said Shelley McKamey, the museum's executive director who helped excavate the Wankel Rex, which is also known as MOR 555. "You're going to miss him, but you're also really proud of him. . . . We're happy to share the best we've got with the world."
The Smithsonian already has a T. rex, sort of. One recent morning, a young boy entered the old dinosaur hall and walked straight to the replica.
Its pose suggested it was walking and just beginning to crouch — "and presumably about to inflict mayhem on somebody," said Hans-Dieter Sues, the Natural History Museum's curator of vertebrae paleontology.
"Look at the size of it!" the boy said. "Woah."
His father nodded, then read at the sign at the base of the dinosaur. "They found this in South Dakota," the father said.
He did not mention it was a cast made from "Stan," a T. rex found on private land in Montana's Hell Creek Formation in the 1980s.
Many of the museum's more than 7 million annual visitors don't realize it's a replica (even though it says so on the sign), or they don't care, officials said.
So, why the years-long obsession over securing a real specimen?
"Think about what the museum is," said Johnson, the museum's director. "It's a place where real treasures of the natural world are on display. If I said I have a glass replica of the Hope Diamond, you'd be less impressed,"
Johnson, who took part in Stan's excavation in 1992, said the Wankel Rex won't look much different than the cast of Stan. "But at the end of the day, it's a plastic reproduction. It's really important for us to have a real object for people to see and experience and be amazed by."
Fewer than 50 T. rexes have ever been found — and only about a quarter of them are considered "nearly complete," meaning more than 50 percent of the bones have been collected, Johnson said. About 80 to 85 percent of the Wankel Rex bones were collected — it's hard to accurately measure, Johnson said — making it the fifth- or sixth-most complete T. rex skeleton in existence.
It was found just before Labor Day in 1988. The Western states were dried out by one of the worst droughts in U.S. history, and Yellowstone National Park had been burning for most of the summer.
Kathy and Tom Wankel were camping with their family near the reservoir. Their three kids were with an uncle, and Kathy and Tom were hiking. They walked across what was once a bay and to what was once an island. Kathy was looking down, because she was a rock hound and because she knew there could be dinosaurs around; she wasn't from the area, but she'd seen bones before at a local bar.
She saw something — "like just a corner of an envelope sticking out," she recalled recently — and crouched down to investigate. "Tom said, 'Hey, I think I'm finding some bone stuff down here.' And I said, 'No, you'd better come up here.' We started chiseling away around the bone and didn't get it all dug, so we covered it up and came home."
The kids had to get back to school, and then the governor told people to suspend outdoor activity because of the drought and fires. So the Wankels didn't return for a couple of weeks. When they did, they uncovered the bones of . . . something.
They brought the fossilized bones to their camper. That night, a violent thunderstorm pounded the Wankels, who were camping near the dam. "It was almost like the gods were saying, 'Don't take them out,' " she said.
But they did, and that Thanksgiving, the family drove the bones to the Museum of the Rockies.
The museum's chief preparator of paleontology, Patrick Leiggi, was smoking a Marlboro, Kathy Wankel said. When he saw what they had in the back of their station wagon, "he really got puffing. He said, 'You guys better follow me.' We went downstairs to their lab, and pretty soon people were coming out of their offices and they were all puffing on Marlboros and talking."
The paleontologists asked the Wankels whether they'd take them to the site the following year, and when they did, they located the golden prize — the skull — along with some of the vertebrae. Because the bones were going into the hillside, they had to go back again in 1990 to finish the dig with a larger crew and some heavy machinery to move the over-dirt.
The Wankels knew that they'd found the bones on federal land and that the dinosaur belonged to the Corps.
"We laugh because our ranch is about 50, 60 miles away," she said, "and if he would have just taken some giant T. rex steps as he was dying and staggered down here, we could have paid off our ranch mortgage."
She laughed and then remembered something about the aftermath of her discovery.
"We got a hand-slap letter from the Army Corps of Engineers," she said. "They said, 'You did the right thing by bringing it to the museum and not taking it in the middle of the night and selling it to the Japanese or something. But you weren't supposed to be digging it out.' We didn't know."
She has casts made from the dinosaur's arm and shoulder blade — gifts from the Museum of the Rockies.
She'll be in Washington when her eponymous skeleton arrives in October.
It has been a long time since she has set eyes on it, she said.
"I can't wait to see my little baby," she said.

Just bought the Professional version today, and it is the first time I am using QCAD. Till now everything has been quite intuitive and running smoothly, until I came to a halt trying to copy entities from one layer to another.
The selected entity copies on the same layer as it was originally on, but does not want to paste into another selected layer.
Here is the process I follow:
1) Select entity on Layer 0 (the default layer).
2) Under Edit (main menu) use Copy.
3) Select another layer (Layer 2).
4) Under Edit (main menu) use Paste.
The "paste" occurs on the original Layer 0 instead of on Layer 2.
I have tried locking Layer 0 and hiding it too, still with no effect.
Please help!
Thank you.

"This is without a doubt my favourite online yarn shop. I live in the UK and there just doesn't seem to be a great selection of yarns available here, so I often order from the US. Judy is such a nice, helpful person and her international shipping rates are very reasonable - I've often paid more for the shipping than the yarn. I'm extremely impressed with TheKnitter.com and I'll certainly be shopping there again." Claire, 11/16/2001

I'm not going to pretend I'm in the same league as AO, but I had the privilege of playing this tournament in 2002. While it's not the same course I played, I do remember playing a decent (for me) 1st round and going confident into the 2nd, playing about 4 strokes better through the front 9 and having the wheels fall completely off the wagon in two holes. That was 4 days of the most mind-wrecking golf I've ever played.

Kind of what I figured. I am out of the Wackoff and will return the MVP trophy. I have no time for anyone who changes rules and what not because I have too many trophies. I paid my dues and participated every week like everyone else. It was a one year gig and was fun.
I heard they gave up on awards b/c you won them all. I dont get what the big deal is, wasnt it fairly obvious you were going to smash the beer league? Why did they let you play in the first place if it was going to make people butt sore? I just wouldve told you from the start, your too good for this league, we are more worried about getting a buzzz than birdies,
Shouldn't matter. I had to shoot near course records weekly to beat my opponent as I would give up anywhere from 4-12 points on the first tee. I don't know what the agenda was, but whatever.
Last year...
"not to swell kerns head up even more but he had probably one the, if not the most decorated years in BW history. his 2012 list includes: Whacker Division Champs, MVP (most point by an individual), Best AVG (lowest avg in league), and of course League Champs. nice year Kern!"

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, Oct. 4, 2012
ALLENDALE, S.C. -- Lt. Steven Robinson and the Allendale County Sheriff's Office are preparing for justice. On Thursday morning, the deputy solicitor for South Carolina's 14th Judicial Circuit met with law enforcement officers and victims from an incident last August.
On Thursday, Aug. 18, 2011, a Stephens County, Ga., deputy was transporting 37-year-old Perry Sullivan of Bowersville, Ga. Sullivan was a prisoner for burglary at the time and was being taken from Colleton County, S.C., back to Stephens County. They pulled over in Allendale when Sullivan claimed he was feeling ill. That's when he slipped out of his handcuffs, beat the deputy and took his 40-caliber Glock handgun and patrol car. What followed was an intensive three-day manhunt through multiple counties by hundreds of law enforcement officers and agents.
About 150 people worked the manhunt. There were three tracking teams.
Officers from Aiken County, Allendale County, SLED, Jasper County, Hampton County, Fairfax PD, Allendale PD, Estill PD, DNR, Highway Patrol and Colleton County were working to find Sullivan.
"He did a lot of havoc in Allendale County," said Lt. Robinson with Allendale County.
Only News 12's camera was there when Sullivan was finally caught and booked into the Hampton County Jail.
It was off-duty Williston Police Officer Joey Patsourakos who caught him almost by accident. Patsourakos was camping with his family at the nearby Broxton Bridge Plantation. That morning he heard over his police scanner that Sullivan had carjacked a blue Ford Explorer at a convenience store in Sycamore, S.C.
Patsourakos was only about 12 miles away.
"I went and got my M4. Went down SC-641 and set up and just basically blocked the road and waited for him to come to me if he was going to come or if he wasn't. I didn't know. But everything worked out the way it did, and he did come that direction, and I was able to get him off the street," he said.
Patsourakos was in Allendale County Thursday morning, and he'll be there again Monday when Sullivan pleads guilty or goes to trial.
However, Robinson says Sullivan will plead guilty, and he's facing multiple charges.
After he was caught last year, News 12 got a list of the 29 charges, which includes escape, assault and battery, armed robbery, grand larceny, carjacking, burglary, pointing and presenting a firearm, possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime, taking a firearm from a law enforcement officer and kidnapping.
Sullivan was denied bond and is still considered a flight risk. He was transferred from Hampton County to Charleston County, and now, he's jailed at the Aiken County Detention Center.
On Monday, Sullivan will be transported from Aiken to Allendale for the hearing.
"There was no plea deal made," Patsourakos said. "He's either going to plea to it, or he's going to go to trial."
Patsourakos said he's spoken to a family member of Sullivan, and she indicated that Perry wants to put his past behind him.

I guess if thats so.. thats... not so great
It depends on your setup. I have around 1000 titles to scan. If I do it locally on my machine, it takes around 20-30 seconds to scan them in on RAID1 setup of green drives. If I attempt to load the meta files from the same location from another computer (via Shared folder), I've seen it take five (5) minutes. How big are your time delays?

Today: Fireworks fail to ignite at Apple (AAPL) shareholders meeting, but stock falls after CEO Tim Cook speaks to investors. Also: Wall Street completes rebound from Monday's decline, with tech stocks a big reason.
Apple heads lower after shareholders meeting a snooze
Apple's annual shareholders meeting came and went with none of the fireworks expected during the long and messy buildup to the event, but the lack of any action that could have been seen as an attempt to boost the company's flagging share price led to losses on a day when other stocks soared higher.
After months of weakness that have dragged Apple's stock price down more than 35 percent from its peak and calls from a high-profile investor for Apple to share its wealth of cash, eyes were fixated on the event at Apple's Cupertino headquarters Wednesday morning. However, after voting on the business at hand -- re-electing the board of directors, a process that showed shareholders have a 99.1 percent approval rate of CEO Tim Cook, along with four other agenda items -- very little of substance occurred.
Most shareholders have been focusing on Apple's $137 billion in cash, hoping that it will be pushed back out to them, the basis of activist investor David Einhorn's much-ballyhooed lawsuit that kept Apple from voting on a proposal meant to limit the company's ability to issue preferred stock. Einhorn did not attend the event.
After Cook's speech closely mirrored his talk at a technology conference in San Francisco earlier this month, an investor asked if -- as he said in that speech -- he still believes Einhorn's suit was "silly."
"I strongly believe it was a silly sideshow, regardless of how the judge ruled," Cook said. However, he did later add, "I don't think the issue of returning cash to shareholders is silly -- we're seriously considering it."
Cook also said Apple was "very. very active" in discussions on how to reward investors with some of its cash hoard during the event. However, the talk will not be enough for large investors, who expect a stock split or some sort of boost from Apple.
"The stock isn't going to do much until the investment community gets more granularity or clarity about how they are thinking about returning capital to shareholders," Apple shareholder and president of Bridges Investment Management Ted Bridges told Bloomberg News.
Smaller investors said they were not as concerned as the large hedge-fund managers, though they still expect some action from Apple.
"Apple needs to be more attuned to the concerns of investors, and hopefully they'll split the stock," Mark Marley, an Apple shareholder for five years, told the Mercury News. "But I don't like Einhorn's proposal because basically it benefits the hedge-fund investors and not the rest of us."
Other questions ranged from rote to banal, including one investor's complaint that the Apple Store in Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade needed a bathroom. The one bit of news Cook did announce was that Apple's new spaceship-style headquarter is not expected to open until 2016; 2015 was the previous target.
Apple stock fell after the event, then rebounded before falling again just before the bell, when shares were selling for $444.57, a loss of 1 percent.
Indexes again near record levels as Bernanke, housing guide stocks
Apple's decline seems larger than it was because the rest of Wall Street zoomed higher Wednesday, with all three indexes gaining more than 1 percent despite the direction of the most valuable company in the United States. With Wednesday's gains -- the second-highest one-day jump of 2013 -- stocks fully recovered from Monday's doldrums and again closed in on record levels.
The Dow Jones industrial average hit five-year highs in again surpassing 14,000 while the Standard & Poor's 500 topped 1,500 as both indexes gained 1.3 percent. The tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 1 percent while the SV150 index of Silicon Valley's largest technology companies gained 0.7 percent.
Experts said the impetus for Wednesday's gains were the same as Tuesday's bounce: Strong signs that the U.S. housing market is fully returning to health, and confident talk from Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke. The National Association of Realtors reported that pending home sales hit the highest total in nearly three years, while Bernanke continued to tell Congress that the central bank's actions are working.
"Our estimates are that we've helped create many private-sector jobs (with lowered interest rates)," Bernanke told lawmakers, later adding, "People are able to buy houses at very low mortgage rates, refinancing at low mortgage rates. People are able to get car loans at low rates."
LinkedIn hits record price as tech gains less than rest of market
Tech stocks were held back by Apple's weakness, with the SV150 -- which includes the largest Silicon Valley technology companies -- gaining less than the larger indexes at 0.7 percent. However, some area tech firms managed notable gains Wednesday.
LinkedIn hit a new record high, surpassing prices reached after a successful earnings report earlier this month. The Mountain View professional-networking company was boosted by positive reports from Evercore Partners and Wunderlich Securities, with Evercore boosting its price target to $200 and Wunderlich establishing coverage of LinkedIn with a price target of $195. Shares closed with a 6.8 percent gain at $168.55 after moving as high as $169.85.
Google (GOOG) gained 1.2 percent to again near the $800 level it first hit last week, while Yahoo (YHOO) neared a 52-week high and closed with a 1.9 percent gain at $21.16. Intel (INTC) built on Tuesday's increase with another gain of 1.7 percent, but Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ) upward trajectory stalled out with a 0.1 percent descent.
News was not positive after the bell, when Groupon announced a forecast that didn't sit well with investors and dove more than 20 percent in late trading.

'Parker,' 'Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters,' 'Movie 43′: Review Revue
With the Sundance Film Festival winding down, we turn to the latest movies to hit theaters, including the heist thriller "Parker" (starring Jason Statham and Jennifer Lopez), the bloody fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" (starring Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton), and the all-star comedy "Movie 43″ (which features Kate Winslet and Hugh Jackman). Find out what the critics have to say on Rotten Tomatoes.
Jason Statham is undoubtedly one of the finest B-movie action stars alive, but not all of his vehicles are created equal. Consider "Parker," a twisty crime drama with a middling script and a surprising lack of energy. Statham stars as a career criminal who's double-crossed after a successful heist; soon, he's headed to Florida to stymie his former cronies as they attempt to pull off a big heist. "Parker" is currently at 13 percent on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer; check out some of the reviews here:
Rotten: "Statham is stepping into a well-known persona. But he's not exactly pushing himself outside his comfort zone; he's on auto-pilot here, despite the obvious physical demands of the part." — Christy Lemire, Associated Press
Rotten: "A little more effort — from anyone — might be nice." – Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Rotten: "Much gunplay and bloodletting ensues. The body count is high. Intrigue is low." — Bill Brownstein, Montreal Gazette
Fresh: "If 'Parker' is, in the end, business as usual, it is also a pretty good deal." — A.O. Scott, New York Times
"Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters"
It appears the folks behind "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" thought the film would be a little too grim — and not Grimm enough — for critics, since it was barely screened prior to its release. Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton star as the titular vigilantes, who've been out for witch blood ever since that little incident in the gingerbread house. Check back with Rotten Tomatoes for reviews when they become available.
"Movie 43″
"Movie 43″ is so jam-packed with famous actors that movie critics are likely to be blinded by its supernova-like star wattage; perhaps that's why it was barely screened prior to its release. It's a series of interconnected comedy vignettes starring the likes of Kate Winslet, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, and Emma Stone, among others. Once again, check back with Rotten Tomatoes for reviews when they become available.
