No whales spotted on our Labor Day mid afternoon trip, but some had been spotted in the recent days according to sign they had out front, but we did encounter a very entertaining school of dolphin, some of which were swimming right next to the boat. Before that not many people moved around the boat, and I didn't see anybody going between the top and bottom decks. Would have been nice to have more seat choices, but it was still okay, and nice to stand up every once in awhile and take in the view. Ocean was cold, but I was prepared with layers. Took on a bag with snacks and drinks, no problem.

Do not park in the multi level parking structure as it costs $12 for a full day and there was a very long line. Park across balboa street in the public parking for $8 for a full day. As we arrived we were told that the card had not been charged...continued

Very nice day out on the water. We did see one whale and tons of dolphins.

We went on a Saturday noon trip - didn't have any whale sightings, but hung out with a pod of common dolphins - hundreds of them swimming right next to the boat for about 2 hours. Overall, it was a good afternoon and worth the half-priced tickets.

When we got married, we each had our own car but dh's transmission went and it was too expensive to replace it so we just got rid of his car. We have been sharing my car since 2009 when DS was born and it's been a little bit annoying!
We are young parents and my husband does not get paid a lot AT ALL and his job isn't THAT secure at the moment. We are both students just getting by while completing our family.
Anyway, dh works in the same building as his dad and they carpool mondays, thursdays and fridays so I usually have the cars on those days. (USUALLY, not guaranteed because FIL takes off a lot of days).
I am lucky that I get the days with the car that I do but it is bugging me that my son is always stuck inside. We don't live in walking distance to ANYTHING and I feel like it is hindering my son to always be stuck inside and then I think about when he has to go to preschool. My son will be in preschool in about a year and a half and I don't see how that is going to work out with one car?
Anyway, I'm just venting and also, I feel like we should just buy a cheap car that he can use for work and that's it but he wants to save and get a newer used SUV. Am I unreasonable for just wanting something, even in case of an emergency?
Do any of you share a car with your husband? how do you make it work?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: bill
So its more likely a installation error that it doesn't check that the file is newer, before overwriting it.
I haven't installed SP2 yet, but I have confirmed the browscap.ini file that it comes with is 32KB and only goes up to IE6 and Opera 4. Firefox isn't even mentioned. Neither is Safari. That's how old this file is.
So if you depend on browscap.ini please be sure you backup your existing copy before installing SP2 and then replacing it after the install. That's the semi-official workaround being suggested by my contact at MSFT. He blogged about it but I'm unsure if I can post a link to it.
The workaround as suggested by a programmer at MSFT is to either backup your file first or use a backup that's placed in %SystemDrive%\WINNT\$NtServicePackUninstall$\browscap.ini during the install.
There will be a KB article about this. Customer support has been made aware of what to tell customers.
Thanks for the heads up Gary. Let us know if you hear about the KB article on this.

Jae-Il Park, Ph.D.
Present Title & Affiliation
Primary Appointment
Associate Professor, Department of Experimental Radiation Oncology, Division of Radiation Oncology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX
Research Interests
Our goal is to understand how Wnt signaling is associated with tumorigenesis, tissue homeostasis, and tissue regeneration.
- Wnt Signaling and Cancer Deregulated Wnt signaling leads to various human diseases including cancer. Elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of Wnt signaling to allow for its targeted manipulation will provide a milestone in cancer research. A complication is that Wnt signaling is indispensable to homeostasis of normal tissues Thus, the targeting of Wnt signaling regulators whose expression is specifically restricted to cancer provides an opportunity to minimize side effects (normal tissue damage). Using genetically engineered mouse models, we are studying the tumorigenic roles of these Wnt signaling regulators in vivo.
- Wnt Signaling and Stem Cells Tissue stem cells are conditionally or constitutively activated during tissue regeneration and tissue homeostasis, respectively. We are studying how tissue stem cells are activated and repopulated into the progenitor and differentiated cells, using genetically engineered stem cell mouse models.

Months after it was revealed that Nightingale House in Clapham and Hammerson House in Hampstead were discussing a potential merger, the organisations officially joined forces on Monday to become Nightingale Hammerson.
The move paves the way for the homes to share expertise and a common governance structure while maintaining their individual identities.
There will be no cuts in services at either site, but the uniting of some back office functions is expected to bring some cost savings.
While saying there would be some "financial benefits", Harvey Rosenblatt, the chairman of Nightingale who will become the chairman of Nightingale Hammerson, said: "The primary motive behind the merger is one of sharing expertise between two care organisations whose common ethos places the utmost importance on providing the highest quality care for residents.
"Over the coming months and years, we will be sharing our expertise and evolving progressive new models of care and accommodation."
Meanwhile, JAMI and Jewish Care have together created a single mental health service based in Golders Green, with the latter's staff working in community-based mental health transferring over to JAMI.
A joint statement said the merged service would reduce the duplication of mental health services and "provide the opportunity to have a single strategy for mental health services helping to identify what the community needs, address gaps in the service and to plan for a better service".
There is no intention to make redundancies as a direct result of the merger and staff from Jewish Care's residential services will not be affected.
Simon Morris, chief executive of Jewish Care, said: "Everyone involved agreed that the two organisations coming together to form one mental health service, and its potential to achieve much more than each organisation's individual efforts, was extremely beneficial for our community."
This deal, expected to take effect by September, will see finance and IT services shared to reduce costs.
But Laurie Rackind, chief executive of JAMI, said the merger was not driven by financial concerns. "Cost-savings may be a by-product but are not the intended outcome. However it is hoped that value for money will be improved, with more available for services and a reduced total spend on overheads."
He added: "The merged service will allow JAMI to further its reputation as an outstanding organisation which will be of huge benefit to our community."Learn more »

agree with rahchis. Anyone cool enough to date me will put up with my dietary preferences!
I really see no reason to be anything aside from honest. If the person you're dating is halfway intelligent, they'll at least be open-minded enough to listen to your description of being primal/paleo. Also, they should be fine with it, as long as you're not aggressively trying to convert them and shouldn't have a major problem eating at places that'll have something for both of you to enjoy.
agree with rahchis. Anyone cool enough to date me will put up with my dietary preferences!
great advice everyone thanks!!....and i agree with neopaleo its kinda of hard to find someone that understands primal living; also RogerDeGrok, there should be some kind of post about sex haha
Haven't dated since truly going primal, but I will say -- and I really don't care how shallow you think this is -- that I did once break up with a guy partially because he was ... well ... fat. Well, more that he claimed it was genetic and didn't make an effort to do anything about it. Now this is when I was first beginning to experiment with low-carb (but still ate like the low-carb bread etc) and was noticing SOME results. I made an effort and he wasn't doing jack.
But lets be honest here. Physical attraction is part of the equation, no matter what. And I would definitely prefer a primal guy over a non-primal one.
Honestly, if he was hot enough I'd probably just go out and consider it part of the '20%' and eventually explain the whole primal thing. Fortunately in Colorado Springs and Gunnison there are lots of restaurants with primal options -- most of the pizza places have salad on the menu and you can pick out the croutons.
As far as long-term goes though, the main limiting factor would be if he refused to understand that primal does work and kept trying to push CW ideas. I could even date an Italian as long as he let me do my thing and didn't oppose me continuing my way of life.

JACKSON, Mississippi -- Across Mississippi, the highway system is dotted with signs honoring athletes, civil rights figures, military heroes and law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty.
More will come this year. The 2013 Legislature authorized at least 12 signs and streamlined the process of honoring fallen members of the Mississippi Highway Patrol.
The Mississippi Department of Transportation is responsible for putting up signs.
The designations are supported by organizations, or local governments or citizens. Lawmakers approve them one-by-one.
House Bill 225, which becomes law July 1, allows the Highway Patrol and MDOT to decide together to name a segment of any public street, road, highway or interstate for a state trooper who had died in the line of duty. Highway Patrol officers who have died in the line of duty since Jan. 1, 1938, would be eligible for a memorial roadway designation.
A distinctive marker will be designed by the Department of Public Safety with help from the Mississippi State Troopers' Association.
Lawmakers would approve funding for the markers, and DPS also could receive gifts, grants or donations for the makers.
DPS spokesman Warren Strain said the bill allows the Highway Patrol and MDOT to directly address highway memorials.
"We wouldn't have to go through any process to have these officers memorialized should, God forbid, we have another officer die in the line of duty," Strain said. "It makes everything more efficient and shows support from the members of the Legislature for these troopers' families and for law enforcement."
Thirty-two Highway Patrol officials have died in the line of duty since 1940. A portion of Mississippi Highway 370 was designated in 2011 for state Trooper Steve Hood, who was killed during a chase in 2009.
MDOT officials said the cost of the signs depends on their size and other expenses such as labor. It takes two signs -- one at each end of the roadway or bridge.
Some road designations approved by lawmakers this year are:
-- A segment of Mississippi Highway 29 in Ellisville for Wyonie "Sonny" Patterson, a retired officer with the Ellisville Police Department and Jones Junior College Police Department. He died in 2012.
-- A bridge on Mississippi Highway 15 for state Rep. Billy Bowles, D-Houston. Bowles served 20 years in the Mississippi House, and died in 2012.
-- A segment of Mississippi Highway 63 in Greene County for state Sen. George Cecil McLeod Jr., D-Leakesville, who died in 2011.
-- A segment of U.S. Highway 184 in Lawrence County as "Lawrence County Veterans Highway."
-- A flyover bridge in Adams County as the "Veterans Memorial Bridge."
-- A section of Mississippi Highways 25 and 15 in Louisville as the "Blue Star Memorial Highway" honoring members of the Armed Forces.
-- A segment of Mississippi Highway 6 in Lee County as "Military Order of the Purple Heart Highway."
-- A segment of Mississippi Highway in Lamar County for Tyler R. Kilsby and Leon Sims, two MDOT employees who were killed in 2010 while working on the road.
-- A segment of Mississippi Highway 590 in Jones County for Carlos "Coach" McDaniel, recreation director and professor at Jones County Junior College for 32 years. He died in 1999.
-- A segment of Mississippi Highway 4 in Prentiss County for Marine Sgt. Jonathan W. Lambert, who died in 2003 from injuries suffered in a Humvee accident in southern Iraq.
-- A portion of Interstate 59 in Jones County and Laurel for Arwilla Huff Davison, a longtime Democratic activist.
-- A section of Mississippi Highway 6 in Panola County, Mississippi as "Military Order of the Purple Heart Highway."

Defensive tackle Vince Wilfork has requested the Patriots to release him, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.
Rapoport reports that there have been no recent talks between Wilfork and the Patriots about his contract, but said that the team approached Wilfork once about restructuring his current deal, which was set to pay him more than $11 million in 2014.
Rapoport called that attempt to restructure the deal a "non-starter."
Wilfork, who has been with the Patriots for all 10 years of his career, played in only four games last season after suffering a torn Achilles.

Two tip-offs that 13-year-old Joey Russell is a great guy: One, his best friend is a girl, and two, he hates talking about himself. Joey made both points clear recently when he decided to sell his cherished 1912 postcard of the Titanic to help save Kate Shelley's mother, Mary, from leukemia. "I did it," says the shy eighth grader from Havre de Grace, Md., "just because she is my best friend and her mom was in trouble."
He achieved far more than he had dreamed. Joey had hoped the card, bought four years ago at a collector's show for $100 in chore money and signed by a Titanic survivor who died last year, could fetch $2,000 toward the remaining $60,000 needed for a bone-marrow transplant (the community raised $20,000, and insurance covered the balance of the $225,000 cost). Learning of his plan, Rosie O'Donnell invited Joey to pitch his postcard on her April 16 show. Just as he finished, the cast of the Broadway musical Titanic paraded onstage to serenade him ("We think you're such a special kid/deserve awards for what you did!"). Then came the biggest surprise: In a deal brokered secretly by O'Donnell and the Titanic producers, the cast delivered a check for the full $60,000. "Joey is an inspiration to me," says Mary Shelley, 40, a divorced mother of five whose transplant is scheduled for May 18. "He has touched my heart so."
Joey first considered selling his postcard when his parents, Mary and Paul, who run a collector's shop, discussed donating one of their cars to help Shelley. Joey told them: "I've got something that's way more valuable." Kate was moved by her friend's unselfish act. "He's really shy, he's funny, he likes to goof around," says Kate, 14. "But I wasn't expecting this."

A battlefield guide is appealing for information about a teenage soldier who died in World War I.
Nick Ward came across the grave of 16-year-old Charles Turner from Langton during a visit to the battlefields of Belgium last week.
He is now hoping to find relatives of the soldier and is offering to lay a poppy at his grave during a future visit in honour of his memory.
"His resting place is in Lijssenthoek cemetery, which was a casualty clearing station in the war, and his name is Charles Turner, who served as a 'driver' with the Royal Field Artillery," said Nick, who also took a photograph of his grave.
"Sadly he was injured in an accident and died of his injuries in this hospital a few miles from the front near Poperinghe on September 21, 1915.
"I know his family were farmers from Langton and his father was Benjamin and his mother Anna.
"I am wondering if he still has family in Langton and would like me to lay a poppy in the near future, or if they have, or would like, more information about this young lad who bravely served his country for two months in the front line before he 'fell.'"
From 1915 until 1920, the hamlet of Lijssenthoek became the venue for the biggest evacuation hospital in the Ypres Salient. To contact Nick email email@example.com

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Spirit AeroSystems (NYSE: SPR ) were flying higher today, gaining as much as 10% after beating estimates in its quarterly earnings report.
So what: The airplane-components maker, not to be confused with Spirit Airlines, said revenue jumped 17% to $1.43 billion -- topping expectations of $1.37 billion -- and adjusted earnings per share edged up to $0.43, ahead of the Street's view of $0.40. Spirit is a major supplier of fuselages and wing components to Boeing, and the market seemed to warm to Spirit's statement that its 2013 forecast would not be affected by Boeing's Dreamliner problems. The supplier also said that its backlog grew 4% in the quarter.
Now what: While investors may have been reassured about the statement concerning Boeing, it still seems to early to count on it for sure. Boeing has said that it expects delays in the delivery of the new jets, and that it does not know what the costs of the battery-fire problem will be. The aerospace giant is still working to solve the problem and has not released any updates since conducting test flights. For 2013, Spirit expects revenue of $5.8 billion to $6.0 billion and EPS of $1.90-$2.10, both in line with estimates. Find out if Spirit can deliver by adding the company to your watchlist here.
Boeing's future up in the air?
As a major supplier to Boeing, Spirit has to keep up with where the aerospace giant is heading -- and so should investors. Boeing's opportunity is absolutely massive, but execution problems and emerging competitors have investors wondering whether the company will live up to its shareholder responsibilities.

Behind Draymond Green's 21 points and 14 rebounds, Michigan State defeated Iowa on Thursday in first round play of the Big Ten tournament and will play Purdue on Friday with tipoff set for 6:30 PM ET.
Iowa fought hard as Bryce Cartwright scored 14 points to go with 7 boards and 6 assists, and Matt Gatens posted 13 points in the loss.
Green was not alone as Kalin Lucas and Keith Appling each scored in double figures on the night. However, the night belonged to the junior from Saginaw, Michigan.
"Draymond will probably tell you that he was not as good, you know, part of the first half, but I thought he too sucked it up, and we went to him." Said Tom Izzo following the game.
Nevertheless, Izzo knows a win is a step in a positive direction for the Spartans and at this point in the season, you take one game at a time.
"As I told my guys, the last year we played New Mexico State in the first game (of the NCAA Championship), and as Draymond said when he walked in, it's about advance, surviving advance, and that's kind of the way it is."
The Spartans advance to battle Purdue on Friday knowing another win would give them solid footing for a berth in the dance.

Three different tracks address the differing needs of first-year students and allow for the most efficient allocation of space in the various courses. By the end of the first year, all students are ready to enter the discipline of their choosing, and all three tracks feature the same instruction—just a different path.
Fall Studio Track
Students in this track begin their studies in the fall semester and may complete all required First-Year Program courses during the fall and spring semesters.
Spring Studio Track
In this track, students spend the fall semester meeting University Core Curriculum requirements and wait until the spring semester to begin the required design and design communications studio course sequences. This option allows a semester to adjust to college life before beginning the rigorous studio courses and gives students the chance to complete more of their University Core Curriculum courses in the first year. It does, however, require students to continue through the summer semester in order to complete the course sequences.
About a quarter of the positions in this track are left open until the end of the fall semester. That allows students who missed the application deadline or who were initially declined admission to the college, a second chance to apply and dive into the First-Year Program. Decisions on these reapplications are made once fall semester grades are posted.
Accelerated Studio Track
Ball State or transfer students who have already completed 30 hours of college study may apply for this special track. This is an intensive program in the summer that compresses the first-year professional course work into two five-week terms offered during the summer. CAP follows a summer semester schedule that is somewhat different from the university's schedule.
Following are specific details about the course work required in each track, and look in the course catalog for even more specifics:
* Students must have completed a minimum of 30 hours of college study prior to entry into the accelerated track.

CarMax (NYSE: KMX ) turned on the turbo boost for its first quarter of fiscal 2014. The company released its results for the period last week, revealing net sales of $3.31 billion. This represents a 19% improvement over the $2.77 billion posted in the same period the previous year. Net income also rose, advancing 22% to $146.7 million ($0.64 per diluted share) from the year-ago quarter's $120.7 million ($0.52).
Both the quarter's top and bottom line figures hit records for the company. They also handily beat expectations. Analysts had been projecting revenue of $3.15 billion and EPS of $0.58. CarMax plans to release its Q2 results Sept. 24.

Chaos in the Canyon

These images, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft, show the Ophir Chasma, a northern part of the Valles Marineris canyon.
Although the region has been mapped in detail during several missions, many secrets of the geological history of Valles Marineris still remain a mystery. Valles Marineris is a huge canyon system around 4000 kilometers (2400 miles) long, up to 240 kilometers wide (144 miles) and up to 6.5 kilometers deep (3.8 miles). Its connected 'chasma' or valleys may have formed from a combination of erosion and tectonic activity. The floor of the canyon shows morphological evidence of volcanic, fluvial or even glacial activity.
The northern scarp of Ophir Chasma, towards the left in these images, has an elevation of up to 5000 meters (3 miles). Several slopes of collapsed material, indicating slope instabilities, can be seen at the base of the scarp and can be traced southwards along the valley floor for more than 70 kilometers (42 miles).

In the south, east of the rounded and apparently smooth Baetis Mensa ridge, the dark chaotic terrain of Candor Chaos can be seen. This terrain is characterised by polygonal blocks that suggest material movements in north-south and east-west directions. Chaotic terrain on Mars is often connected to outflow channels, indicating the catastrophic release of large subsurface water reservoirs, and the subsequent collapse of tye above-lying rock.
On 22 August, Mars Express entered into a solar conjunction phase, and on 15 September the craft approached to within one degree away from the Sun as viewed from Earth. Mars Express itself was in no danger as it was in fact safely voyaging around Mars 399 million kilometers (240 million miles) away from Earth on the opposite side of the Sun. For mission controllers, a solar conjunction means that a spacecraft, the Sun and Earth are in alignment. Yesterday, engineers successfully woke up ESA's Mars Express from a lengthy and long-planned 'nap' as it travelled out of a conjunction, avoiding potential communications interference from the Sun.
If you use a mobile phone, you have probably experienced static when a building or surrounding geography interferes with the signal between your handset and the receiving antenna.

During the recent conjunction, communications with Mars Express could similarly have been affected, but the interference, caused by the Sun's corona, was potentially more serious than just a dropped call. The solar conjunction, however, meant that radio command signals travelling to and from Mars Express passed through the Sun's super-heated, super-active corona, which comprises the upper reaches of the Sun's atmosphere. This highly active area is a hotbed of strong electromagnetic radiation as well as a source of the intense particles that form the solar wind.
Had mission controllers attempted to transmit radio signals to Mars Express as the Earth-to-spacecraft line of sight skimmed by the Sun, chances are high that the signals would have been degraded or scrambled by interference from the corona. Commands might not get through (or only partially so) with unpredictable effects on the spacecraft's operation.
To cater for this event, flight controllers at the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany, had long planned for a 'blackout' period lasting from 22 August until 27 September in which Mars Express was placed in a minimum activity configuration with no science data being downloaded and only the barest of command signals being sent up.

"We had a one week preparation period going into blackout and the same to come out, with three weeks of 'stay still' in between," said Mars Express Spacecraft Operations Manager Michel Denis, adding, "We wanted the spacecraft to be as stable and quiet as possible."
Denis said that communications were not totally blocked during the conjunction. This allowed controllers to monitor the status of the spacecraft and in fact to collect and analyse samples of radio signals received from Mars Express that were distorted by the solar corona precisely what radio astronomers do when they study solar activity. In space science, somebody's noise is always somebody else's signal.
During the Mars Express quiet period, ESOC engineers maintained a 300-bit-per-second (bps) downlink channel open for daily, if highly limited, communication. This was just a trickle, however, compared to the usual 30- to 200-kilobit-per-second (kbps) science data downlink. The spacecraft was, for most intents and purposes, left undisturbed. Yesterday, controllers on Denis's team received full signal from the spacecraft for the first time in over a month, and re-established a full daily routine of spacecraft communications, including transmitting signals in both the X- and S-bands.
Satellites generally use the S-band (2.0-2.3 GHz) for uplink telemetry and telecommanding while the X-band (10.7-20 GHz) is used for low-power, high-volume data transmission back to Earth. To achieve this, engineers have been working since last week to reload scientific experimentation programs into on-board processors, verify communications and generally make sure that Mars Express is once again wide awake and ready for scientific exploration.
Recent Mars Express milestones
- Discovery that Martian atmospheric water vapour and methane seem to have a common underground source: 20 September 2004
- Date of maximum distance from Earth: 5 September 2004 (399,003,610 kilometers)
- Radio-signal travel time at this distance: 22.2 minutes
- Date of last autonomous switch to 'Safe Mode': 15 March 2004
Mars Express's orbiter will operate for a whole Martian year (687 Earth days). It is expected that the mission will be extended by another Martian year. After the mission, the Mars Express orbiter will simply keep orbiting the planet for at least 50 years.

Butternut Squash and Sage Brown Butter with Tortellini Recipe
1 small butternut squash peeled, seeded and cut into 1 inch cubes (or use a 12 oz bag)
2 tablespoon butter
10 whole sage leaves, 5 shredded sage leaves
1 10 oz package cheese tortellini
olive oil
sea salt and pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese for sprinkling.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the butternut squash with olive oil and salt and pepper and place on a baking sheet, roast for 20 minutes or until soft and beginning to brown. Meanwhile start the water for the tortellini. When the water boils put in the tortellini and take out a medium saute pan. Place the butter into the pan and melt over medium low heat. Set the 10 whole sage leaves around the pan and don not stir. Slice the remaining sage leaves and just when the butter begins to brown sprinkle the slices leaves in the pan. Remove the tortellini and drain. Once all the water is removed return to the pot. The butternut squash should be done, take it out of the oven and use a potato masher to squish it up. Place the butternut squash and sage brown butter into the pot with the tortellini and toss. Serve with fresh grated parmesan cheese. Makes 4 servings.

The members of the AFD and APD aren't just firefighters and police officers. Sure, they extinguish fires, enforce the law and solve crimes, but they're more than that. The men and women that encompass these two entities are heroes and leaders who have continued to protect and uphold our dear city and citizens for 100 years.
If you've ever visited West Texas, the folks out here most likely bragged about their hard-working ancestors who cultivated this land, and how that trait has carried on throughout their lineages.
The Amarillo Fire Department and Amarillo Police Department will tell you the same. Tradition and history are deeply embedded in the fire service, says Lt. Dana Havlik. That is apparent in the museum that Lt. Havlik organized inside Central Fire Station, which displays fire suits, hoses, ladders and tools from decades past. Sepia-tone and black-and-white photos of well-postured, proud firefighters fill the glass cases. Two pieces of steel from the World Trade Center sit atop custom-made stands resembling the Twin Towers in the museum as well, serving as a constant reminder of the 343 firefighters and paramedics who died while responding to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
"We like to preserve our history and look back and honor the guys who have built the organization we have now," Lt. Havlik, the department's designated historian, states. "It's a big tradition in the fire service, to look at your history and the way things were done 100 years ago and how things have changed."
The first fire in Amarillo was recorded July 17, 1897, but it was nearly a decade later that the Amarillo Fire Department officially formed. The original fire department was a tin bar, but it eventually evolved into a building that combined City Hall, the library, the office of the chief of police, and the jail.
Lt. Havlik describes the volunteer-based organization in its initial stages as a "hooks and ladder company," a "bucket brigade," of sorts. In order to prevent fires from spreading, the volunteer firefighters would use large hooks to pull down the burning building into a pile of rubble. The year 1916 brought about the department's first fire apparatus, which was a horse-drawn wagon that carried hooks, ladders and buckets. It wasn't until the 1930s that the AFD began to put firefighters on the payroll in addition to using volunteers.
More than 80 years later, the AFD's duties are drastically different, but its dedication to the community has not wavered. The AFD includes 251 employees and encompasses 12 fire stations, with a 13th in the construction phase, anticipated to be complete in autumn of this year. Deputy Chief Marc Lusk expects two more to be built and two current stations to be relocated within the next decade in order to better accommodate and serve the expanding city.
"We've gone from an organization, not just in Amarillo, but everywhere, from a department that was originally there to fight fires and that was it," says Lt. Havlik. "Well, now we're an all hazards department. We respond to medical calls, car wrecks, hazardous materials and spills. If [citizens] don't know who to call for a particular emergency, the fire department gets the call. We do it all."
Chief Deputy Lusk, who has been with the AFD for more than 20 years, holds his department in very high regard. In the past seven years, the area has been plagued with drought and subsequent wildfires, and as a result, it has integrated large-scale wildfire operations into a structurally based department to better prepare for natural disasters that have repeatedly struck our region, he says. Deputy Chief Lusk and Lt. Havlik both agree that one of the most unforgettable acts occurred in 2007, when at least 14 people were saved from a burning apartment building.
"I think we have a very dedicated and talented group of individuals that are our firefighters that perform on the streets for us," Deputy Chief Lusk praises. "I think a lot of it is based on our West Texas perception of work and dedication. We get a very talented group coming our way and we just have to shape them a little bit for developing the right skills," he smiles.
When he attends symposiums and conferences, visiting with other fire departments, he often hears complaints from his fellow firefighters. But here, the AFD doesn't have that. They are a "cohesive team," a family. And as veteran firefighters have begun to leave the department in recent years, Chief Deputy Lusk commends them for fastidiously training the younger group entering the ranks. He also lauds the AFD for its resourcefulness surrounding emergencies, especially because Amarillo is a city that is largely isolated, serving as the center for 26 counties in the Texas Panhandle.
"We are basically an island… and we don't get the luxury of backup like a metroplex community would," he explains. "And so we have to be very talented and have many different skill sets because our help is a long time away." But when neighboring communities and counties can help out, they certainly do.
As Lt. Havlik pointed out, tradition and history are a central part of the AFD. However, the firefighters don't dwell in the past. "Tradition is important, but you also have to serve your community in the proper fashion," he says. "If that means changing to make it better, that's what we've always done."
The Amarillo Police Department is no different. Members of the APD respect where the department came from, but they are more technologically savvy, educated and trained than years past. In the 1950s, academies included eight to 12 men and lasted two weeks. Now they run for 27 weeks, plus 16 weeks of field training.
"The biggest change has been in technology and training," says Sgt. Brent Barbee. "There are more buttons on the computers the officer has to use in the patrol car than were in whole patrol car in 1979… There's been a lot of growth in the amount of education for the officers and training for the officers, and that's because we're responsible for a lot more things, a lot more jobs and the jobs we're responsible for are more complex."
Formed in 1914, the APD consisted of its chief of police, John Speed, and five officers. Its first form of transportation was horses, which the patrolmen had to own and feed themselves. (They were reimbursed later.) Two Model-T Fords came soon after, one being a "paddy wagon" to transport prisoners. Today, the APD fleet is made up of 163 vehicles, including 64 marked cars and 13 motorcycles, according to Sgt. Barbee. There are 380 people in the APD, 345 that are authorized, plus four dogs in the K-9 Unit and two robots, the first robot coming to the APD in 2005. The robots have the ability to respond to more than one place or incident or cover the other if one is down for repair.
"It goes out on all SWAT call-ups and affords a measure of safety for officers by putting eyes inside a dangerous situation, offers a way to communicate with barricaded suspects, and in addition can be used to safely handle suspicious or explosive items remotely," explains Sgt. Barbee, who's been with the APD for 34 years.
Like most police departments, the role of the APD is to respond to emergency calls, crimes in progress, reports of crime, recover stolen property and of course, protect the public. But what sets the APD apart from other community's police departments is, once again, its West Texas roots.
"I think we are a well-rounded and progressive organization made up of a lot of hard working people, if you're going to let me brag," Sgt. Barbee chuckles. "We get a lot of public support. I have a lot of people approach me and say, 'Thank you for the job your people do; thank you for the job that you do...' We can't make everyone happy all the time. We can't do everything we'd like to stop crime or prevent crime or arrest criminals, but that doesn't stop us from working all the time to try."
One of the benefits of living in a city the size of Amarillo is that it isn't hit by crime the way many larger cities are. "We don't suffer a lot of the same ills as some places do. The department and city are healthy and do a good job of dealing with the problems we do have," Sgt. Barbee declares. "We have our share of problems, but we continue to have our share of answers to those problems."
An example of solving crime in the community is that over the course of the past several years, there has been a steady decline in criminal activity, according to Cpl. Jerry Neufeld. From 2011, there has been a 3.9 percent decrease in Part 1 crimes, which include serious aggravated assaults, robbery, sexual assaults and homicide. He attributes the decline to Chief Robert Taylor setting goals of increasing the department's staff of patrol and hot-spot enforcement.
"To see a decline in your Part 1 crimes, a consistent decrease in that speaks very highly on the department and the community," Corp. Neufeld says. "They are the ones that are taking that information we provide as far as residential burglaries, personal safety, and they are implementing some of those to reduce their chances of becoming a victim."
Sgt. Barbee sees the APD as a reflection not only of the Amarillo community, but also of the Texas Panhandle. "The Department is a reflection of not only the community, but also the entire area," he says. "We have a lot of officers here from outlying towns in the Panhandle, so that makes our department a reflection of our entire Panhandle. Not just a reflection of Amarillo. When you have honest, decent people who are hardworking who become policemen… That creates the type of department that we strive to have."

A Family Game Idea: No Electronics RequiredMichelle Horton
In a world where kids read books on handheld electronics and watch their favorite stories on DVDs, we found a game that will bring storytelling and writing back to basics. The perfect family game for anyone who values imagination, interaction and simplicity, as well as handmade wooden toys.
The Small Object (one of our favorite Etsy shops) is selling this handmade kids game called "Tell Me a Story," which the whole family will love to play at home, in the car or on vacation.
Inside the muslin carrying bag are three handmade wooden dice with pictures of people, places or things.
Each family member takes turns rolling the dice, and then has to tell a story based on the three images that are showing. While this can certainly be a fun game of oral storytelling (especially in the car), the game also comes with a 50-page Match + Write Notepad (above), so kids can practice writing. Even younger players can participate by simply matching and circling the images on the pad.
You'll even get a laminated glossary/spelling helper with the game. Isn't it precious? Would your family put down the Wii to share in storytelling?
Get it from The Small Object for $35. If sold out, check out her Web site.

If you are getting a graphics card make sure your motherboard and power supply can take it or your pc will blow If you are getting a whole new setup amd is better for video editing but intel is better for gaming ( proccessors) and Amds are cheaper.
