Skip to comments.Burlington City Council approves gun ban [Vermont]
Posted on 01/08/2013 9:06:42 AM PST by 101stAirborneVet
BURLINGTON, Vt. -
A passionate crowd - many in blaze orange - packed City Hall Monday night. Most of whom were there to voice concern and contest the proposed change to the city charter.
"It's not really good to pass feel good legislations," said one gun rights advocate to the city council.
The proposed amendment banning semi-automatic assault weapons and multiple ammunition clips came from Norm Blais, (D-Burlington City Council) in the wake of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
"To those people who say we don't need this legislation in Burlington because nothing like this has ever happened here before, well the people of Newtown, Conn. could have said that before Dec. 15th," Blais said.
But at least one crowd member says emotions shouldn't cloud lawmaking judgment.
"I think it's a dangerous course to let emotions get into the driver's seat when writing legislation that could potentially infringe on constitutional rights," said Matt Storer, a member of the public in attendance.
And he wasn't the only one concerned with the Constitution. Applause echoed almost every speaker who mentioned the 2nd amendment.
Renee Robyor, another resident who spoke during public comment added, "This council has failed to recognize the right to keep arms omitting this right from the proposed charter change."
Another common theme among the dozens who addressed the council -- the need not to take away the guns -- but to focus on the mental health of those who may potentially pull a trigger.
Speaking of his training as a school teacher, Morgan Lamphere said, "We have come to understand that better mental health programs for children thru adult services will be the only way to help our society."
Still, Vermont is one of the most lenient states when it comes to gun laws -- some council members say it's better to look at what they can do in the short term like increase school safety, rather than try to challenge state law.
"To pass a law or to send a charter change that's ultimately probably going to do nothing, that Montpelier will not sign off on is a futile exercise," added Paul Decelles, (R-Burlington City Council.)
The amendment passed 10-3, but still has a long way to go before it could possibly go into effect. It must go into committee, eventually be voted on by the public, and then sent before the legislature in Montpelier.
I thought that Vermont had state pre-emption and that local governments could not pass laws that were more restrictive than the state level laws.
Good Work Burlington!
Now... whose job is it to go get the guns away from the criminals?
Be sure to ask nicely and tell them "IT'S THE LAW"
The amendment passed 10-3, but still has a long way to go before it could possibly go into effect. It must go into committee, eventually be voted on by the public, and then sent before the legislature in Montpelier.
IOW, this really is not much of a story, unless you live there.
It appears the councilmen have infringed the right to keep and bear arms andd thereby breached their oath of office to protect and defendd the Constitution; and they should therefore be removed from office in disgrace.
Feel good laws do not reduce crime, they increase crime.
That's the way it is here in Michigan. Lord knows plenty of city councils have tried only to have the state supreme court toss attempts at gun bans out.
I can walk right down the main drag in Ann Arbor with a rifle over my shoulder if I want and its entirely legal. I would probably be arrested due to the hundreds of calls to police that would come in but I would win in a very expensive court battle.
It passed 10-3 because the council is soooooooooo much smarter than their constituents. (And actually it's a step in the LEFT direction!) Obviously the citizens don't have a clue and at least the council "did something". Even if it doesn't make any difference at all. Which it won't. Maybe they can get mark kelly and his wife (who won't take his last name because they are sooooooo progressive)gabby giffords to pay a visit to 'splain to them what's at stake. They're are so dumb, them gun clingers.
Say no to the BORV's!!! (Bill Of Rights Violators)
How come we never hear about left wing extremists? I guess only the right can be described that way.
Molon labe!
Except that we must each be vigilant in our own communities against local infringement attempts such as this. That they ignore the state preemption, in a Second Amendment respecting state such as Vermont, and vote in favor of these illegal restrictions, reveals how far the termites have spread.
Everyone of the people who have engaged in these murders have been RECOGNIZEABLY nutso...and were ignored in one way or another.
In the case of Ft. Hood....it was pure "MUSLIM PC" that got those people killed.
Here in Webster, we lost two fireman because the COURT WAS WRONG, the attorneys were wrong, the judge was wrong and the parole board was wrong.
Read up on Hinckley...they were recently considering freeing him until they found out he was lying...Things like lying about being at a movie when he was in the library looking up articles about the shooting of Reagan.
Nice work, Burlington. STRICTLY illegal, but VERY nice work. Now send all your cops to black neighborhoods and confiscate their guns!
What's that? Police are busy breaking down doors in white, middle class neighborhoods?
You SURPRISE me!
And remember, in the Middle East...stoning is "in".
Except that we must each be vigilant in our own communities against local infringement attempts such as this.
I agree, but I live in KY. This is a low risk here. Heck, I can go to the online classifieds here to buy a gun from any private party, just like buying a used car stereo. :-)
"IOW, this really is not much of a story, unless you live there."
Have you ever been to Burlington? It's a dump! Most of Vermont ( though liberal to the core) is beautiful, but Burlington looks as though all the welfare recipients and druggies in the state live there. Just a dreary place that looks al little like East Germany before the wall came down! Reminds you of the East Texas towns that are drying up and blowing away!

Anti-gunners never stop. They may wait for a while, but then when the moment is propitious for them dive right back in (never let a good crisis go to waste). They cannot be reasoned with because their antipathy to freedom is not based on reason. They cannot be bargained with because they have nothing to give. Likewise they feel no fear because they have nothing to lose, and their mouthy whining to the contrary, they know gun owners are too law abiding to do the right thing. They feel no pity for those whose rights they would trample, because they worship the state, and the state wants powerless serfs, not citizens. And they never stop and they're NEVER satisfied. Every new regulation is a "good first step" on the way to their frequently stated goal - "A society where only the police and military are armed."
There are only three possible final outcomes
They should also pass a law banning African Lions from roaming the streets. Sure, they've never had one before, but a law will make certain it never happens......
The sad thing is that Connecticut actually HAS an assault weapons ban on the books. So in arguing that they passed the bill because of Sandy Hook, they are saying that they should make their laws exactly like Sandy Hook's laws, in order to prevent a Sandy Hook-type shooting.
That is what passes for logic, I guess.
So they passed it.
Who is going to enforce it?
How many of them will be on the council next year.
They have to live in Burlington and many of them just screwed over people who used to be their friends.
Shun the like the Amish do. See how they like that.
florida did it best.
Passage of such a laws by municipal government bodies are actually a criminal acts. Those elected officians are removed from office and become defendants in criminal cases.
What was happening was local municipal bodies had such feel good nonsense laws and were using them for harrasment of citizens based on the "they can't afford lawyers to defend them" rule. When the rule was passed by the legislature, there was a panic of local fiefdoms rushing to repeal preempted laws before thei county/city comisars went to jail.
local politicians are usually local business men/women (see real estate brokers, local lawyers, local developers, wives / husbands of local business owners).
Make it toxic to their business.
How many of them are NYC type carpet baggers?
Black neighborhoods? In Burlington? Is there such a thing in all of Vermont?
Thanks for the info. Funny how the MSM buried that story. I vaguely remember reading about it somewhere on the web.
Bernie Sanders went from mayor of Burlington to the Senate.
Enough said for Burlington!

Very little is known of this rare sawfish, but features of its biology can be deduced from studies of other sawfish species. All sawfishes are ovoviviparous (2), a method of reproduction whereby the young develop inside a weakly-formed egg shell within the adult female, receiving nourishment from their yolk sac. During development, the sawfish's rostrum is soft and flexible and the teeth are enclosed in a sheath, possibly to protect the female sawfish whilst giving birth. Shortly after birth, the teeth become exposed (5). Sawfish generally feed on small schooling fish, but are also reported to feed on crustaceans and other bottom-dwelling animals. They attack fish by slashing their 'saw' sideways through schools, impaling fish on their teeth. The speared fish are scraped off the teeth by rubbing them on the bottom and then ingested whole (5). Sawfish spend much of their time lying on the sea bottom which, as their gills are located on the underside, means that water does not flow over the gills. Like other rays, sawfish overcome this problem by drawing in oxygen-rich water through large holes located behind the eyes, called spiracles, when breathing (8).

Sporting News analyzes the NFL coaches and key executives relieved of their duties a day after the end of the 2011 regular season. A look at the St. Louis Rams:
St. Louis Rams
Who's gone: Coach Steve Spagnuolo (10-38 in three seasons), general manager Billy Devaney, the team announced Monday morning.
"I would like to personally thank Steven and Billy for their dedication to the St. Louis Rams over the past several seasons," owner Stan Kroenke said in a statement from the team. "This was a difficult decision for many reasons. We have tremendous respect for them as people and pros."
— Rams next move | Buccaneers fire Raheem Morris | Jaguars in hunt for Falcons' Mularkey, Panthers' Chudzinski
What went wrong: After falling one game short of the NFC West title in 2010, the wheels came off in a miserable 2011. The Rams' only wins were against the New Orleans Saints (a World Series-inspired upset) and Cleveland Browns (thanks to the Browns botching a chip shot field-goal attempt). Although injuries—especially to second-year franchise quarterback Sam Bradford, the offensive line and secondary—played a big role, the Rams didn't have a chance in most games.
In averaging a league-worst 12.1 points per game, the Rams were shut out twice in the final five weeks and scored seven points or fewer in four other losses. They also were No. 31 in offensive yards per game at 283.6. Because of that ineffectiveness, their depleted defense got consistently worn down. The Rams were No. 31 against the run, 151.7 yards allowed per game.
Bradford, when not banged up behind shoddy pass protection (the Rams allowed a league-worst 55 sacks), didn't have any trusty playmakers around him other than hard-running Steven Jackson and wide receiver Brandon Lloyd, a midseason pickup. The transition of offensive schemes from Pat Shurmur (West Coast) to Josh McDaniels (more downfield passing) was a disaster.
— Final straw: Rams lose 34-27 to 49ers
What needs fixing: The Rams' offense needs a facelift. It seems too early to give up on Bradford, but sitting on the second overall pick in the 2012 draft, it would be hard to shrug off the possibility of adding Baylor's Robert Grffin III (if he comes out) to inject much-needed energy.
More realistically, the Rams will target help for Bradford, with Southern Cal left tackle Matt Kalil at the top of the list. Ideally, they will find a trade partner in a team desiring RG3, and be able to trade down for help both on the offensive line and nab a much-needed young stud wide receiver such as South Carolina's Alshon Jeffery.
The defensive-minded Spagnuolo does leave the team with some promise in the front seven, starting with first-round pass-rushing ends Chris Long and Robert Quinn. Linebacker James Laurinaitis is also a keeper in the middle. Major upgrades, however, are needed at defensive tackle and cornerback.
Overall there has been little excitement about the Rams in St. Louis since the end of the Mike Martz "Greatest Show On Turf" era. On the fast track of their home dome, they must make it a priority to load up on speedy playmakers on both sides of the ball. It won't be easy to acquire the right combination of skilled and intense players to change the culture.
Who's a good fit? The NFL is a copycat league, so the Rams should be inspired by the Carolina Panthers' quick offensive turnaround and target offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski. What would help in that scenario is luring A.J. Smith as general manager—who worked with Chudzinski in San Diego—if the Chargers make such a front-office change.

Last week, Miranda noted that Liberty Counsel is representing Sandra Merritt after she and her Center for Medical Progress colleague David Daleiden were indicted by a grand jury in Texas over their failed efforts to expose Planned Parenthood for supposedly illegally selling fetal tissue for profit.
Liberty Counsel seems to have decided to defend Merritt by attacking Lauren Reeder, one of the 300 attorneys in the Harris County District Attorney's Office who had nothing to do with the investigation of Merritt and Daleiden, because she serves on the board of the local Planned Parenthood affiliate. But since Liberty Counsel cannot attack Reeder on the merits, given that she disclosed her relationship with Planned Parenthood and had nothing to do with the DA's investigation, the right-wing legal organization has decided to attack her instead for having once worn "hot pants and a very revealing tank top" to a Planned Parenthood fundraising event.
Reeder attended the Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast's "Party Like A Rock Star" event dressed as a dancer from Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" video and on Liberty Counsel's "Faith and Freedom" radio broadcast today, Mat Staver and Matt Barber attacked her for wearing "what looks like a bra but it's actually a very low-cut tank-top and also, hot pants, very short shorts."
Even more upsetting to Staver was the fact that Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast's director of development, Ed Benyon, attended the event in make-up and a shirt covered in blood.
Benyon was clearly dressed as Alice Cooper, which was somehow scandalous to Staver.
"He's got a white, like almost a lab coat," Staver said, "and on the left shoulder, all covering the entire shoulder and the left part of his chest, dripping down the left side of that shirt is what appears to be blood."
Barber, of course, was equally scandalized.
"I guess they think that is funny, somehow?" he sneered. "That's cute? To wear this lab coat with blood dripping down it? I don't know if they're mocking pro-lifers, but it does underscore just how they devalue human life here, that they were even jokingly mock themselves for what they do."

PHILLIES shortstop Jimmy Rollins lives for the moment - as does the team's radio play-by-play announcer, Scott Franzke.
In the bottom of the ninth inning with two men on, two outs and the Phils trailing by a run, 4-3, in Game 4 of the 2009 NLCS, Rollins stepped up to the plate against Dodgers closer Jonathan Broxton with a chance to seize it.
The count was 1-1 and Franzke had the call . . .
"Swing and a drive . . . right-centerfield . . . this one's falling . . . It's a base hit! It'll go up the alley! Bruntlett will score! Ruiz around third! He's being waved home! The Phillies have won the ballgame! Ruiz slides! Rollins has won it! They stream out of the dugout and Rollins is mobbed near third! This game is over . . . as the Phillies strike again with two outs in the ninth inning . . . and they have a three-games-to-one lead! The Phillies have beaten the Dodgers with two outs in the ninth . . . and they have done it to Broxton again in Game 4!"

Private collecting and scholarship continues to benefit hobby
One of this week's stories about the discovery of a new die marriage for an 1825 Capped Head gold $5 half eagle is perhaps most interesting for the way the coin was discovered.
A researcher was looking at Heritage's auction archives, enlarged an image of a lot sold in a 2007 auction, and found the first new variety of any date of the early half eagle series since, at latest, 2006.
Does the fact that the coin is a "discovery" make the coin substantially more valuable? Likely not. It realized $51,750 when it sold in 2007, and the series has few collectors who collect it by die variety, at least when compared with series with more accessible starting price points like Draped Bust cents or Capped Bust quarter dollars.
The discovery is interesting and of some importance to numismatics as it sheds lights on some elements of the issue that were subject to debate by researchers, including die sequences and the fact that it is an overdate: 1825/4/1.
Perhaps most interesting to me is that this coin was once part of the Byron Reed Collection, which was sold when some high-value selections from the collection were offered at auction by the city of Omaha in 1996 to benefit the Western Heritage Museum.
While the half eagle was in that collection, one surmises that it was accessible to researchers.
However, despite the perceived availability of the coin to scholars while it was housed in a public collection, its true value to numismatists was identified only after it came to auction, went to a private collection (presumably) and was included in a searchable auction database.
Numismatics has long been a hobby dominated by private scholarship, in conjunction with collectors and with the support of museums.
As numismatic history continues to be digitized and more coins are photographed, the tools available to scholars will only increase and the discoveries are likely to keep coming.
Even well-mined areas of collecting like early U.S. coinage continue to surprise. Happy hunting!

The Wiesbaden Congress of the German Society of Internal Medicine
The papers presented on the third day of the Congress of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für innere Medizin, held in Wiesbaden, April 16-19, were devoted to the treatment of pernicious anemia. In the introductory paper, Seyderhelm of Frankforton-the-Main discussed liver treatment. Since the publication of Minot and Murphy's article in 1926, 150 publications dealing with liver therapy and reporting 2,000 improved and only twenty resistant cases have appeared. The daily dosage of liver is 200 Gm. Raw liver or liver extract is the most effective, whereas prolonged cooking (frying) lowers its efficacy. In addition to the liver, Seyderhelm administers hydrochloric acid and food rich in vitamins. After a short interval of five or six days, an increase of the reticulocytes, and later, the augmentation of hemoglobin and leukocytes, furnish evidence of improvement. Only severe funicular disturbances and

Hi, I'm new here but I need some help. My Toshiba Satellite A135-S4637 32bt has started leaving message on screen
"display driver igfx stopped responding and has since recovered" Then later on just quits working. One place said I need to update the driver for video card. I'm tired of looking all over the internet for the answer.Anyone know how to fix this? THANKS
05-17-2011 02:41 PM - edited 05-17-2011 02:52 PM
yeah im having the same problem with my Qosmio X505-Q8104X, running win 7 home premium 64 bit. I updated to the latest nvidia drivers from the site(270.61) and that didnt change anything, then i reinstalled the drivers that came with the laptop(265.77) and still no love. It glitches a bunch of the colors on the screen and will just blank out and then give me the driver failed and recovered msg, it does it constantly. $1800 for a brand new laptop and it $h!t$ the bed after a week, F'ing rage!
actually, i just completely unintalled the nvidia drivers and it still messes up.......
shadowphox you mean you still get a picture with no nvidia drivers? it affected nothing by removing them? you still have a picture? has anyone answered on this forum why toshiba laptops were not included in the nvidia class action lawsuit? i'm trying to figure out if our toshibas have differrent video problems when compared to the laptops that were included the lawsuit?
05-22-2011 12:57 PM - edited 05-22-2011 12:59 PM
45th parallel: did your gpu quit working altogether or does it still start up? i assume you know about the nvidia class action lawsuit for defective nvidia gpus. the problem is toshiba is not included in this lawsuit as far as i know. i don't even know if the gpu problems we have are the same problems that the covered laptops are having or if the problems are differrent problems. nobody on this toshiba forum seems to know. i can't recall where i read this but a gpu which recovers properly and starts up again is considered to be a normal situation but don't know if this is really true. it might be because i haven't heard of many gpus totally failing yet so the shutdown and recover thing could be normal if it only happens once in a while. suppossedly with the covered laptops the gpus fail completely and never recover so it isn't quite the same situation. i just wish i knew if this problem was fixable in toshibas. mine does it but it is so intermittent that it may be a normal thing i just don't know. it happens so rarely that it really doesn't bother me but maybe it shouldn't happen at all. i wish someone knew here.
OK here is the deal.... I have a Qosimo X505 q890, less then a year old and its has started to not function while doing pretty much anything. The display driver reset or locks up everything and a power reset is forced to gain access to anything. I have read the post on here and no one seems to know the fix. I have tried driver updates from Nvidia as well as one on Toshiba support site. This is the second system i have own the first one was replaced due to overheating issues only days after i received it.
Toshiba replaced the 360M with a new GPU shortly after i purchased mine. Seems to be issues with most of the 360M from reading this board and other sites.
To sum everything up it crashes using any program on the computer. IE, Adobe CS5, and every game i have ever tried to play.
Toshiba stand behind your flagship Laptop and the consumers that buy them, and find a fix for this or replace the units.

Soul & Motown Tribute Night
The first resident to outgrow a facility aimed at nurturing new business and boosting graduate retention has named the facility a resounding success.
IT entrepreneur Jonathan P Belch is moving out of Bohouse, Erimus Housing's complex of 20 live/work units in Middlesbrough, because the development has allowed his companies to rapidly expand.
Jonathan, a dad-of-four, is now moving his businesses, Zubedo and Web Innov8, to larger commercial premises in the town, giving Bohouse its first turnover of residents.
And prospective residents are waiting on the sidelines as the innovative development continues to attract a high level of interest.
Jonathan said: "Bohouse has been horrendously successful. It really has transformed the area and is something to be extremely proud of."
Jonathan is one of three co-founders, as well as an investor and board member of Zubedo, a low cost digital media portal which enables people to commercially market, publish, license, protect and monetise their digital media assets across the globe.
His second project, Web Innov8, allows users to build websites and other online platforms without the need for investing in server hardware. They only pay for what they use and need very little technical or programming knowledge.
He added: "Without this facility, Zubedo would have had to leave the area and I just don't think Innov8 would have happened."
He now wants to set up more incubation units to help graduates with their initial business ideas.
Erimus Housing received funding from the Homes and Communities Agency, the national body providing funding for affordable housing across the country, to create Bohouse, which is enabling graduates and other people from creative and digital industries to stay in the area and start up businesses of their own.
The one and two bedroom units provide live and work space in one apartment at an affordable rent.
The scheme is part of the Boho Zone which forms part of the acclaimed DigitalCity development, a creative quarter in the heart of the town.
Chris Smith, Managing Director of Erimus Housing, said: "The whole ethos behind Bohouse is to help graduates and others set up their businesses by living and working in one affordable unit until they are ready to move on."
"This is fantastic news as people moving out into larger premises shows the success of Bohouse."
Monica Burns, North East lead manager for the National Housing Federation, said: "This innovative project demonstrates the great work housing associations are capable of in assisting people in setting up their own business enterprises.
"This work is absolutely vital in the current economic climate when unemployment is so high in the North East. The National Housing Federation plans to use the Bohouse model by Erimus Housing as a best practice example nationally."

[IN THE SPOTLIGHT]A German team hasn't lifted the European Champions League title since Bayern Munich's victory in 2001. Schalke 04, the lone German club among this year's quarterfinalists, faces an uphill battle, going to Barcelona Wednesday after falling, 1-0, at home last week in the first leg of their quarterfinal series. But Schalke's strong run in Bundesliga play has lifted its confidence.
Schalke has earned 13 points from its last five Bundesliga games to lift it to second place, nine points behind Bayern with seven games left.
"We're going to play our hearts out for 90 minutes - 120 minutes if necessary," said Schalke defender Heiko Westermann. "Then we'll see who goes through. If we start like we played in the second half of the first leg, we have a chance.
A 12th minute goal by 17-year-old Bojan Krkic made the difference in the first leg. Bojan was making his sixth Champions League appearance.
In addition to the young star, Barcelona's squad has a huge advantage over Schalke in the experience department. Its players have played in an average of 45 Champions League games compared to Schalke's 10.
Also, Barcelona players on average have 55 national team caps while Schalke's have an average of 17.
Schalke's leading scorer in league play, with nine goals, is German international Kevin Kuranyi.
Kuranyi, who has regained his national team spot after being dropped before the 2006 World Cup, is supported in the attack by fellow German Gerald Asamoah and Turkish international Halil Altintop.
Barcelona, although struggling in La Liga, is undefeated in its last 10 Champions League games. Barca will be without injured Ronaldinho and Lionel Messi, while Deco is doubtful.
Schalke's only European title is a 1997 UEFA Cup win and it has not won the German league since the creation of the Bundesliga in 1963.

Is it possible to get pregnant right after an abortion?
Q: I had an abortion 3 weeks ago. My husband and I had intercourse 2 weeks after the abortion. I started taking the pill 1 week after the abortion and my husband used a condom. However, the condom broke. I have been having pregnancy symptoms such as nausea and breast tenderness since 4 days post intercourse. How likely is it that I am pregnant again, or could it be something else?
A: It is very unlikely to experience pregnancy symptoms 4 days after unprotected intercourse. Nausea, vomiting, breast tenderness, loss of appetite usually appears about the same time when hormones are detectable in blood and urine; this is usually 5-6 weeks after conceiving. If you had an abortion ~3 weeks ago, and if you got pregnant right after (yes, it is possible to get pregnant right after an abortion), the pregnancy should be around 2-3 weeks (that is, if you really are). This stage of pregnancy is too early and symptoms don't appear; urine and blood tests are of no use since hormones are not high enough to be detectable. With the circumstances you described (presuming you have been taking the pill at the SAME TIME everyday), the chances of getting pregnant are really slim. If you will miss your period after finishing this cycle of birth control pills, then you may do a home pregnancy test. I honestly think you may have other conditions causing the symptoms you have so better have it checked by a doctor, just to be sure. I do hope this helps.

The Accidental Tourist
- Directed by Lawrence Kasdan
===Story=== Lawrence Kasdan adapted Anne Tyler's novel into this mopey comedy which, oddly enough, took the New York Film Critics Circle's best picture award (a case of strategic voting getting out of hand). William Hurt plays a depressed travel writer struggling to come to terms with his son's death. He buys a dog for companionship, then hires an eccentric dog trainer (Geena Davis, who won an Oscar for her role) to teach it to behave. She, in turn, teaches him to reconnect to life. But as he is beginning to admit his feelings for her to himself, he is blindsided by the return of his estranged wife (Kathleen Turner), who attempts to rekindle their marriage. A muffled, low-key affair--so low-key that it sometimes seems positively stationary. ''--Marshall Fine'' ===DVD Features=== *Color *Closed-captioned *Widescreen

More about the Master Sommelier Examination
The Master Sommelier Diploma Examination is similar in format and content to that of the Advanced Sommelier Examination in that it consists of three parts: a theory examination (an oral examination and not written), a blind tasting of six wines, and a practical wine service examination. The minimum passing score for each of the three sections is 75% as opposed to 60% for the Advanced Examination. Students must first pass the Master Sommelier THEORY Examination and then have three consecutive years to pass the remaining two parts of the examination. Thus a student who passes one or two parts may retake those he or she failed in during the next two years. If all three parts are not passed during a three year period the entire exam must be retaken. Members of the examining panel are Master Sommeliers chosen by the Examinations Committee and the Director of Education. The candidate is required to wear professional working attire and to also provide all tools of the sommelier trade for the examination. The candidate should exhibit a high standard of both technical and social skills throughout the examination, and demonstrate the courtesy and charm of a Master Sommelier. It is also essential that the candidate demonstrate excellent salesmanship.
Who can take the Master Sommelier Diploma Examination?
Students who pass the Advanced Exam (on the average about 25%-30%) are eligible to apply to take the Master Sommelier Examination itself. The pass rate for the Master Sommelier THEORY Examination is approximately 10%.
Elements of the Master Sommelier Diploma Examination
Part 1. Theory: what does the Sommelier need to know?
The theory examination is verbal and is fifty minutes in length.
- Speak with authority on the wine areas of the world and their products.
- Know the principal grape varieties used in winemaking and the areas of the world where they are cultivated.
- Answer questions on international wine laws, including the European Community, United States, Australia and other global wine regions.
- Display knowledge of fortified wines, their vinification, storage and handling.
- Describe the various methods of distillation and the making of spirits and liqueurs, as well as the process of making beers and ciders and the reasons for the variations in style between different products.
- Knowledge of cigar production, with special reference to Havanas, will be required.
- Discuss how the products should be properly stored to ensure that they remain in the optimum condition.
Part 2. Practical Restaurant Wine Service and Salesmanship
- Discuss, recommend and serve aperitifs, displaying a thorough knowledge of their ingredients and production methods as well as the ability to serve them correctly.

• The Cisco 815 cable interface is DOCSIS 2.0 based, while the Cisco uBR905 is DOCSIS 1.1 compliant.
• The Cisco 815 achieves better performance.
• The Cisco 815 has integrated a four-port 10/100 Ethernet switch, while the Cisco uBR905 only has integrated 10BaseT hub ports.
• The Cisco 815 Cable Router has the additional 10/100 FE port that can be used as a WAN backup or for creating DMZ.
• The Cisco 815 cable daughter card has dedicated CPU and memory. This design separates the DOCSIS control plane from Cisco IOS Software and allows the independent management of the cable modem and router Cisco IOS Software.
• The Cisco 815 has better integration between DOCSIS QoS and Cisco IOS Software QoS.
• The Cisco 815 supports Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) customer edge functionalities.
• The Cisco uBR905 has reached end of sale, software maintenance is no longer available, and the product will reach end of life on April 30, 2010.
• Improved QoS
A typical cable modem has significantly higher LAN interface bandwidth than what is available on the cable WAN interface. The LAN peer (for example, router) cannot effectively enforce an upstream QoS policy because the upstream QoS does not receive any indication when the cable modem's WAN interface is congested. Therefore, to help ensure QoS enforcement, the LAN peer must shape the outgoing traffic to the committed access rate (CAR) or risk high-priority traffic being dropped.
The Cisco 815 integrates Cisco IOS Software QoS and DOCSIS QoS to address this issue. A congestion notification mechanism is implemented so that the cable modem can provide back pressure to Cisco IOS Software when it experiences congestion on the WAN interface. Cisco IOS Software will queue the outgoing primary service flow payloads and perform QoS to manage congestion. Meanwhile, Cisco IOS Software will allow secondary service flow payloads to skip the queue to guarantee service on high-priority traffic. This method results in significantly improved upstream QoS performance and optimized utilization of the upstream available bandwidth.
• Better failover scheme
When a router is connected to an external cable modem Ethernet port, the router will not be notified when the cable connection goes down. If the cable modem is a primary connection, this will cause problems, because failover to the backup link might not take place or take time (depending on Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol [DHCP] lease settings). The cable high-speed WAN interface card (HWIC) sends real-time status to the Cisco router so that the failover will happen immediately if the cable link goes down.
• Better access to advanced services capabilities of Cisco router family
With the integrated cable interface on the Cisco 815, both cable operators and business users can use Cisco routers' advanced services capabilities such as security, multicast, and MPLS.
• Ease of management
Integration of the cable interface saves space and makes the deployment, management, and maintenance of equipment much easier. A cable operator can choose just to manage the cable WAN connection or both the cable WAN connection and the host router. Likewise, a business can integrate the cable modem and still choose what level of support and control it wants to have over the host router. It also reduces the probability of opportunistic theft.
• Improved availability
In addition to the enhanced failover capability, all the components of the Cisco 815 are designed and tested to help ensure they meet true business-class availability requirements and will provide a higher degree of availability than consumer-grade devices.

Growing Up Poems by Teens
Poems about Growing Up
Every family has hopes and aspirations for their children. Some may long to send their children to college if the parents have not had that opportunity. Others may aspire for a better life in another country. Sometimes there are conflicts between the dreams of the parents and the dreams of their children. Parents may have labored so that their children could have what they consider a better life only to have their children choose other options. This can be heartbreaking for the parents who may think that they have labored in vain, and stressful for the children who have their own dream to live out.

Inch by inch, the historic Richardson Olmsted Complex is coming back to life. Only a few years ago, this architectural treasure was crumbling into ruins at the hands of a neglectful state. Today, a chastened state government is funding the renewal of one of Buffalo's gems, and last week the public was invited to have a look.
The event was the public unveiling of the re-landscaped South Lawn of the Richardson Olmsted Complex, so named for the architect of the 19th century masterpiece, H.H. Richardson, and of the building's landscape, Frederick Law Olmsted.
The new lawn, featuring a curving graveled path, native plantings, a Medina sandstone pedestrian bridge and old-fashioned streetlights, is already drawing praise. "I didn't think in my lifetime I would see anything even like the South Lawn being done over there. It's wonderful, it's great," said Francis R. Kowsky, a distinguished professor emeritus of art history at SUNY Buffalo State.
This is a huge undertaking and a critical one for Buffalo. Richardson remains one of this country's premier architects, along with Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright, both of whom also built in Buffalo. It was a sin against history that the building was allowed to deteriorate to the point where demolition might have soon been the only option. Buildings by Richardson are thriving in other cities – Boston's Trinity Church is but one example – and add to the fabric of civic life, not to mention the local economy.
Pressured by former Assemblyman Sam Hoyt of Buffalo and others, then-Gov. George E. Pataki took on the task. Recruited to oversee that work was then-Buffalo News Publisher Stanford Lipsey, who is passionate about protecting Buffalo's historic architecture.
Lipsey and an all-volunteer board began that work seven years ago, and it has been challenging. But last Saturday, the project reached a milestone. The South Lawn was reimagined, referencing Olmsted and his partner Calvert Vaux, while directing its energy toward the building's new purposes.
Those purposes include a boutique hotel, an event and conference center and, perhaps most intriguing, an architecture center, along with a new northern entrance. Completion is expected in 2016.
The new lawn contributes mightily to the neighborhood, where green space has been hard to come by. And while the new lawn belongs to the Richardson Olmsted Complex, the project's managers want the public to make use of it. "The grounds seemed off limits before," said Monica Pellegrino Faix, executive director of the Richardson Center Corp. "We want people to feel that they can come in and enjoy them."
Worth every penny of the $5 million it cost.

The Man in the Moon by William Joyce
No current Talk conversations about this book.
6. I did not particularly like this book. The illustrations were fabulous but beyond that, the text of it seemed a bit too much in terms of vocabulary and story line when you think about who the general audience in which it was probably written for. The vocabulary of it is very rich, but most likely too rich for young readers/listeners to understand. The actual story was a bit out there, but I'm sure it might be an enjoyable read for some.
7. The curricular connection to this book could be with science and how to relate fantasy to facts about the moon.
Excellent story and beautiful, large, full color illustrations. I love this author so far and the Guardians of Childhood series for children. Tells the story of the Nightmare King and how the man in the moon came to be.
A wonderful origin story about the Man In the Moon. A delight for all ages.
