"Intelligence plus character ~ that is the goal of true education."
Martin Luther King Jr.
Superintendent's Message
The Buhl School District offers great curriculum, highly qualified teachers, professional support services and the intangible benefits of smaller schools and small-town life. I encourage parents, citizens, business leaders, government officials and prospective new residents to visit our schools to discover what we are doing to educate responsible, respectful and safe student citizens.
Public Notice for Destruction of School Records
According to school board policy, the Buhl School District # 412 hereby gives notice that special education records are no longer needed to provide educational services to individuals with disabilities who were enrolled in the district as a student prior to the year 2012 and have since left the district. The district will destroy these special education records (by shredding them) in 45 days. Destruction of these records is the best protection against improper and unauthorized disclosure. Please be aware that if you have special education records on file with the school district, these records may be needed for social security benefits or for other purposes in the future.

For further information contact Jessie Busmann in the special services department at 543-8292.

Adding Color with Plants
air quality, feng shui, and overall feel of your home, but the added color is also a major perk. The addition of healthy green life definitely livens up this living room and feels very refreshing, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a room in which plants would clash. Do you consider plants a part of your overall decor, or are they in your home for non-aesthetic reasons only?

C-TMS centers are the leading treatment facilities in the world. Dr. Tarique Perera has just authored and published the first TMS Guidelines.
He also conducted and was instrumental in much of the the early Research at Columbia for TMS and he is a nationally recognized speaker. Humble beginnings, after opening in Danbury Connecticut CCA expanded to Greenwich.
Greenwich first became the busiest TMS center in the world with an 83% published response rate.
Perera now partners with other practices helping them to bring the groundbreaking treatment TMS closer to home for those suffering.What sets these centers apart is a customized protocol that he and his staff have developed and the training of TMS treaters after treating hundreds of patients successfully.

Behringer has lived by a simple motto since it got its start 25 years ago: "Double the features at half the price."

With this in mind, Uli set out to create a line of products that were accessible to anyone while still being able to compete with the big names. From his kitchen table, Behringer was born. It's this sincerity and genuine love of audio that has led Behringer to become one of the most respected manufacturers of musical equipment in the world.

Beetroot Sambar Recipe (A Tangy Beetroot Lentil Curry)
Beetroot Sambar Recipe is a very traditional South Indian lentil curry made from beetroots that is cooked tangy tamarind and flavored with homemade sambar powder. My mother used to make the beetroot sambar almost every Sunday along with potato roast and it continues to be all time favorite for me and now my children too.
1 medium beetroots, peeled and diced
1 cup toor dal (tuvar dal/ pigeon pea lentils)
1 recipe of tamarind water
1 tablespoon homemade sambar powderIngredients for Seasoning
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
a pinch of asafoetida
5-6 curry leaves, roughly chopped
1 dry red chilli
1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
a small bunch of roughly chopped coriander leaves for garnishing
salt to taste
Directions for Beetroot Sambar Recipe
To begin making the Beetroot Sambar recipe, we will first cook the toor dal with 2 cups of water until it becomes very soft. See video recipe of how to cook lentils using pressure cooker.
If you find that the cooked dal is too thick and mushy, add water to it and whisk it till it becomes a thick pouring consistency.
Next, cook the beetroot along with the tamarind water, salt and sambar powder in a pressure cooker, until it becomes soft and tender (about 3 whistles). Turn off the heat after three whistles and allow the pressure to release naturally.
Add the cooked beetroot curry along with the toor dal into a large saucepan. Place it on medium heat and check the salt and spice levels. Adjust by adding more of the salt or sambar powder. Bring the sambar to a boil.
While the sambar is boiling, we will now get the seasoning ready.
Heat oil in a small pan; add the mustard seeds and the red chillies, stir for a few seconds until the mustard crackles and the red chilli is roasted. Finally, add the curry leaves and asafoetida powder and turn off the heat.
Pour this seasoning to the simmering beetroot sambar, add in the coriander leaves and stir. Turn off the heat and transfer the beetroot sambar to a serving bowl.
Serve the Beetroot Sambar along with steamed rice, potato roast and lime pickle for a delicious Sunday lunch.

LOS ANGELES – Tough.
That's the word of the hour.
Hillary Clinton wants everyone to know that she won't be swift-boated by anyone. She may or may not win the Democratic nomination, but it won't be for want of toughness. And toughness is what it will take to beat John McCain in November.
How do you win in a system in which, unlike the Republican contests, the loser takes almost as many delegates as the winner, and reaching the magic majority requires the sort of statistical run that neither Clinton nor Barack Obama has managed to pull off consistently?
The short answer is superdelegates. With 792 party leaders and elected officials going to the Democratic National Convention as superdelegates, the fight will be on for that pool of 20 percent of the delegates. And make no mistake, the Clintons, with 35 years of political chits and connections to call in, will be calling in every one.
Tough doesn't begin to describe it. Have you ever tried to say "no" to Bill Clinton one-on-one? I mean about politics, silly.
The superdelegates include members of Congress, governors and the largest group, members of the Democratic National Committee. Ask most people about the DNC and they think you're talking about a gynecological procedure. I defy most people to name a single DNC member, even from their own state.
But as a former member of that body myself, and a proud political hack, I will tell you that DNC members are players, and the Clintons will play them as hard and as tough as they can.
Can Obama stand up to the Clinton operation? It's a proper and necessary test. However tough the Democratic race, it's nothing compared to what the victor will face in the fall. The Clinton brand of hardball is no tougher than what the Republicans have played in every election in the last two decades, and what they will play against either Clinton or Obama.
The good news for Democratic voters is that the next two months — and my guess is that it will take that — will be a time to judge the candidates not only in terms of how they measure up against each other, but more importantly, how they will measure up against McCain, without question the Republican who will be the toughest for Democrats to beat.
The question many Democrats will be debating, especially the superdelegates who are hacks like me, or even better or worse (depending on your perspective), have to run on the same ballot as the party's nominee, is who will be stronger against McCain.
How does Obama's inexperience compare to the realities of anti-Clintonism? How does subtle racism compare to sometimes not-so-subtle sexism? Who is the bigger risk? One way, maybe the best way, to judge this is by watching the two candidates in debates, and imagining McCain at the other podium.
Will Obama look like a kid or a breath of fresh air? Will Hillary hold her own?
The good news is that Hillary already has accepted a number of debates, and Obama is likely to feel enormous pressure to do the same. If he doesn't, it's a bad sign. Presidential debates are extraordinarily important to the general election. They are the reason Kerry almost won, and Dukakis surely lost.
Obama needs as much practice as he can get if he's to take on McCain, and we need the chance to judge him in that context. By the looks of things, we'll have it. I'm hoping they'll be tough, much as I enjoy the lovefests. Because in the end, tough is what it will take to win this nomination, to beat McCain and, most importantly, to take on the forces of evil in the world that America surely faces.

Zags appreciated
Concerning the (recent) negative letters written about the Zags: Fellows, you had the right to your negative opinions. You also have the right not to watch the Zags' games that give so many of us so much pleasure.
You are so off base about the Zags that my husband wonders if you have them confused with some junior college. You must be aware of the tough schedule the Zags played pre-WCC. Well, what do you know – the Sweet 16.
We attended the last two Gonzaga basketball banquets and had the pleasure of meeting and talking to many of the players. This great-grandmother received hugs as pictures were taken. What a treasured time this was for us.
Meeting and talking to these young men you see how special they are. If some do not go further in basketball after they graduate, they will still make an impact somewhere.
Go Zags and God bless.
Bobby and George Stevens

"We only move into the 21st century on the foundation of things that have been established long, long ago."
"When I'm totally absorbed in the painting, I'm not aware of thinking anything. I'm just in the painting except like, 'Okay, here I am, I'm painting this blue. I like the way it's feeling. Everything's okay.' But then I have to step back. I have to change my brush or make another color. It's a continuous process and it's my art. I'm so into it. It just feels so normal to me and so exhilarating at the same time."

Maisons be-Green: A Parisian Prefab On Display
trip to Paris, amongst all the historic masonry buildings, I stumbled upon this modern freestanding prefab residence and was lucky enough to be given a (partially) translated tour of the house, Maisons be-Green. Similar to the Smart Home at the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago, this Parisian prefab was built as a demonstration structure to show new ways of building, as the French would say, "écologique." I was surprised to find this structure because so much of the architecture in Paris, particularly the historic core, is old, masonry and dense. There are essentially no free-standing houses until you get to the outer perimeter of the city, and very few of the buildings I saw looked so modern. This idea of a free-standing structure was actually designed on purpose and was modeled after American residential architecture, with the primary concept being that this structure actually comprised of two residences (like a townhouse) with a shared central living space. This shared core housed the main entrance, patio, decks, bicycle storage, mechanical equipment, laundry and a green roof. In addition to the concept of shared living spaces, the Maisons be-Green incorporated several other green elements:
- One residence is energy positive and the other meets the requirements of the local (BBC Low Consumption Building)
- Photovoltaic and thermal solar panels mounted on roof
- South-facing orientation with extensive amounts of glass for passive solar gain, with small triple-glazed windows on the north to prevent heat loss
- Natural light and ventilation, no air conditioning, radiator heating and a centrally located stove
- Heat pump systems for hybrid and natural gas
- A super efficient envelope with recycled cotton insulation, efficient windows, rain screen siding and a highly durable mesh exterior skin
- A green roof including a vegetable garden, compost system and vertical garden
- Intelligent, whole house automation system to monitor building energy use and consumption as well as control systems for the electronics throughout the residences.
- A super efficient powder room containing a self-cleaning (no toilet paper required!) TOTO toilet and a very small sink

An elderly Cynthiana woman was headed toward Cynthiana when it appears she went off the side of the road and overcorrected, according to Deputy Steve McCauley. The vehicle flipped onto its side and slid head-on into a tree.
The accident occurred about 9:55 a.m. in front of Eastland Estates on U.S. 62 East. The woman's name is being withheld pending notification of her family.
For more information, see this week's Cynthiana Democrat.
The power of prayer is what one Cynthiana mother said pulled her family together during a nightmare that any mother would dread.
Clayton Arnold is not the typical 8-year-old boy. He can often be found backing his daddy's tow truck up to hook to a wrecked or illegally parked vehicle.
Life was all fun and full of adventure for the Arnold family until Clayton started experiencing headaches and random spells of dizziness.
The Cynthiana Police Department is welcoming two new recruits who have completed their academy training.
Nathan Linville and Joe Daniels are on the road this week with officers in training.

I'm usually somewhat sluggish about flipping the calendar.
I don't know why. Perhaps someone with a bunch of letters after his name would say it has something to do with not wanting to let go.
However, it was with exuberance that my February pages hit the recycle bin and heralded in the lamb's version of March.
I have three calendars in my office; two are flipped and one is a rip-away.
It was with great fanfare that I tore off February.
My theory:
This winter has been interminably long.
Kathleen Judy was born December of 1900 and attended Henry School on Judy Ridge Road in Harrison County. On Feb. 8, 1917 (at the age of 16) she took the teaching exam to receive her certificate. Judy taught at Henry School in Harrison County and earned approximately $30 a month. She married Ora Nicholas Marsh and had four sons, Charles, George and John Marsh, and the late Neal Marsh, all of Harrison County.
Each legislative session essentially has two distinct periods, with the first dedicated to the House and Senate setting their respective agendas and the second, much shorter one seeing where both sides can find common ground.
It is too soon to say what ultimately will cross the finish line, but this week is when most of those decisions will be made. It promises to be a busy time.
As we look for consensus, there is hope in the House that we can do something this year to help both our youth and our senior citizens.

Sunday, June 9, 2013
A loss prevention officer called police after witnessing a theft from the store. The officer arrived on scene and spoke with the loss prevention officer. He told the officer that an unknown subject came in and allegedly stole $7,426.98 in electronics.
The security footage shows a man enter through the front doors of the store, grab a shopping cart and a bag. He went to electronics, and used some sort of tool to pry open the locked display case.
In the process, he broke the glass case. But he was able to make off with several items by placing them in his bag. He then left in a taxi.
The loss prevention officer then went on Craig's List and found the items for sale. The officer investigating could not find the items listed when he checked, but obtained serial numbers should they reappear.

Announcement ID:
ōPortraying the Prince in the Renaissance: The Humanist Depiction of Rulers in Historiographical and Biographical Textsö
The collaborative research center ōTransformations of Antiquityö at the Humboldt University in Berlin is now soliciting abstracts for an international conference, to be held 6-8 November 2014, devoted to the portrayal of rulers in historiographical and biographical texts written by Renaissance humanists in the period from 1350-1550. In the larger context of interdisciplinary research on the transformative reception of antiquity across the ages and the development of a nuanced theory of how such inter-epochal cultural change actually takes place, an ķquipe within the research center, led by Prof. Johannes Helmrath, has focused for the past nine years on the topic of Renaissance humanist historiography and its relationship to ancient sources, methods, practices, and models. Having hosted conferences and issued publications that approach this topic by way of language and media, literary practice and social context, and the transformation of ancient narrative strategies, the research group is now turning its attention to the portrayal of individuals in humanist texts.
An emphasis on contingency and human agency (as opposed, for example, to divine providence) has long been considered a hallmark of Renaissance historiography. The conference begins from this premise but also aims to review it critically. Rulers, who occupy a central place in both the organization and the content of so many historical works, will provide the focus. By investigating the manifold ways these individuals and their historical impact are portrayed, contributors will offer crucial insight into this essential aspect of humanist literary production and the broader humanist conception of history. The texts and authors discussed at the conference should represent the broadest possible chronological and geographical spectrum (within the boundaries set) in order to facilitate the identification and description of temporal continuity and change on the one hand, national and regional similarities and differences on the other.
But what exactly is an historical text? As difficult as this question can be for modern scholars, it is even thornier when applied to the Renaissance. As opposed to ancient authors like Nepos and Plutarch who distinguished clearly between biography and historiography, humanists were less scrupulous in observing the distinction between life-writing and the narration of historical events. On the contrary, the line between these activities is often blurred in humanist writings of an historical nature, which tend to be characterized by a hybridization of quite disparate text types and a successful integration of various discourses. Thus countless ostensible works of history, such as Paolo EmilioÆs De rebus gestis Francorum (1539), are structured biographically along a line of founding figures and kings. On the other hand, writings whose titles suggest that they belong to the genre of biography, such as Lorenzo VallaÆs Gesta Ferdinandi regis (1449), appear to modern eyes rather as examples of historiography. Yet again, a work like Thomas MoreÆs Historia Richardi regis Angliae eius nominis tertii (1513) could legitimately be considered a biography. Thus when approaching the issue of how rulers were portrayed in works of history, it seems useful to undertake a broader investigation of historiographical and biographical texts.
A primary aim of the conference is therefore to encourage discussion of the distinguishing characteristics of and links between the various genres in which the historical portrayal of rulers features prominently. One thinks immediately of the nationally focused res gestae, decades, and historiae in which rulers play a decisive role, such as Antonio BonfiniÆs Rerum Ungaricarum decades (1503), Elio Antonio de NebrijaÆs Rerum a Ferdinando et Elisabe Hispaniarum regibus gestarum decades (1509), and Polydore VergilÆs Anglica historia (1514). The portrayal of individual rulers is also a key element in biographically arranged chronicles and annals, such as Hartmann SchedelÆs Weltchronik (1493) and Johannes AventinusÆs Annales ducum Boiariae (1521). In addition, historical epics like Basinio BasiniÆs Hesperis (ca. 1450-57, on Sigismondo Malatesta), Giovanni Mario FilelfoÆs Amyris (1471-76, on Mehmed II), even Girolamo VidaÆs Christiad (1535) should be considered, as could the edition of the medieval hexametrical work Ligurinus, curated by Conrad Celtis and other members of the sodalitas Augustana (1507). Nor ought biographical collections to be neglected; while PlatinaÆs Vitae Pontificum (1479) clearly embodies a history of the papacy, the political history of early-fifteenth-century Europe is inscribed in the vignettes of Aeneas Sylvius PiccolominiÆs De viris illustribus (ca. 1449). Discrete biographies, such as Tito Livio FrulovisiÆs Vita Henrici V (1436), round out the list of traditionally recognized historical genres. Yet a case can be made for others as well, such as satires, funerary anthologies, panegyric orations and poetry, funeral orations, hagiographies, and commentaries, all of which have a strong biographical component.
Beyond the question of genre, the theme of the conference could also be approached by considering the various uses and transformations of ancient biographical models in humanist works. What influence was exercised by Suetonius and his thematic, as opposed to chronological, and thus highly selective mode of biography? To what extent were humanist texts characterized by PlutarchÆs comparative framework? And what of other biographical modes, such as those of Jerome or Xenophon?
Many other approaches are possible. How are individual princes portrayed differently by various authors or across various genres? Do certain text types lend themselves to specific kinds of rulers (dead vs. living, good vs. bad, foreign vs. domestic, friendly vs. enemy, etc.)? What is the social and political context of a particular composition? What can be said about the causa scribendi, the stated and unstated intentions of the author? Was a work commissioned or not? Was it written in an encomiastic or invective mode? Beyond the auctoritas of ancient authors, one might also consider the authoritative status of specific ancient and even medieval rulers, such as Alexander, Augustus, or Charlemagne. How were contemporary kings and princes fit into bygone molds when their political or military accomplishments were described?
This call for papers is addressed to scholars of Renaissance humanism. Particularly welcome are contributions on humanism in Northern and Eastern Europe as well as on humanist works with a non-European subject. Abstracts may be submitted in English or German and should contain a maximum of 500 words. Please also submit a one-page CV. The deadline is 14 February 2014. Submissions should be sent as .doc or .docx files to email@example.com.

Ohio Officials Poised To Recognize A Same-Sex Couple's Marriage
Following a federal court's order Tuesday, the Cincinnati Health Department is expected to issue a death certificate recognizing the marriage of William Herbert Ives, who died at 54, and his surviving spouse, David Michener.
WASHINGTON — Ohio, despite a constitutional amendment to the contrary, is poised to recognize a same-sex couple's marriage for the first time, following a judge's order Tuesday in a lawsuit that specifically aims to "set a precedent that will lead to relief for other same-sex couples."
The recognition will be bittersweet for David Michener, however, as the marriage will be noted on the death certificate of his husband, William Herbert Ives, who died unexpectedly at 54 on Aug. 27. According to an obituary, Ives leaves three children he and Michener are raising.
United States District Court Judge Timothy Black issued a temporary restraining order Tuesday that requires the registrar of the Office of Vital Records in Cincinnati's Health Department and state officials to recognize Ives' and Michener's marriage. The order echoed one he previously issued in the case as to another same-sex couple who married in Maryland.
Black held previously and again Tuesday that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed in their lawsuit claiming that Ohio's constitutional and statutory bans on recognizing same-sex couples' marriages violate the U.S. Constitution.
The original complaint was brought by James Obergefell and John Arthur to enable Arthur, who is in hospice care, to be listed as married and Obergefell to be listed as his surviving spouse on Arthur's death certificate when he dies. As both men remain alive, the court order has not led Ohio officials to take any specific action recognizing the Obergefell–Arthur marriage.
By amending the complaint on Tuesday to include Michener's claim, however, Ives' death certificate — listing him as married — likely will be issued in the coming day, as the complaint states that "[a] death certificate is needed now in order to proceed with a cremation of Mr. Ives on September 4, 2013."
Although Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, also named in the lawsuit, continue to defend Ohio's bans on recognizing same-sex couples' marriages, neither opposed the request to amend the complaint to include Michener's request. Cincinnati's registrar, Dr. Camille Jones, meanwhile, has notified the court that she "will not defend Ohio's discriminatory ban on same-sex marriages."
As Judge Black already had issued the order as to Obergefell and Arthur, there was little doubt as to whether he would reach the same result as to Michener.
DeWine's office, meanwhile, does not appear to see a means of opposing the ruling at this time. Following Black's decision on the temporary restraining order Tuesday, a spokesman for the Ohio Attorney General's Office, Dan Tierney, simply told BuzzFeed, "Temporary restraining orders generally are not appealable."
Prior to the Tuesday decision to amend the complaint, the temporary restraining order regarding the Obergefell–Arthur marriage was extended on Aug. 13 "until December 31, 2013, or to the date of decision on the merits," with a hearing on a permanent injunction set for 10 a.m. Dec. 18. It was not immediately clear if the Tuesday amendments to the complaint would lead to changes in that timeline.

Head Erie AD helps fill rosters -- and holes
As the head athletic director at the 12,000-student Erie School District, John Dahlstrand oversees the district's sports programs while dealing with such issues as holes -- of both the real and budgetary kind.
In an e-mail interview with the Erie Times-News, he gave his thoughts on improving the district's athletic programs amid a tight budget. Dahlstrand also serves as the district's athletic director and director of federal programs.
QNo athletic programs at East have been cut because of the budget deficit. However, the Warriors haven't fielded tennis and golf teams in nearly 20 years, have had trouble fielding soccer and girls volleyball teams, and have consistently struggled to compete in all other sports outside of basketball. Is this a reflection of the budget or is it a lack of participation?
ALack of participation. All sports are budgeted by East. If a coach can field a team with the minimum numbers allocated by board policy, any of the teams mentioned will be reintroduced annually.
QDan Chojnacki recently retired after 22 years as East's athletic director. His replacement is Greg Holland, who also will remain the athletic director at Central Tech. Is Holland a temporary hire until a full-time replacement can be found?
AGreg Holland applied for the (athletic director) job at East. He will handle duties at both schools. This is a permanent assignment. Dan Chojnacki will help Greg transition into his new post.
QLast season, numerous meets scheduled for East's Pat Hart Natatorium had to be moved from there because of a mechanical issue regarding the pool's heating mechanism. What is the current status for that facility?
ALike any facility, we have had some mechanical issues in the last few years. All have been rectified.
Q East football coach Leonard Ford complimented the district for its efficiency in filling sinkholes that frequently affect East's practice field. How long has that been a problem?
AWe have had occasional issues with small holes, (but) not necessarily sinkholes.
QIs there a financial goal to start more feeder programs at East, Central Tech and Strong Vincent?
AWe have introduced (middle school) programs in basketball, volleyball, soccer, wrestling, cross country and swimming. Funding is part of the athletic budget for all of these sports.

November 20, 2012 – Viby J, Denmark – Debriefing Software has released an upgraded version of its cloud-based Storage Resource Management (SRM) tool, Wizards Storage Portal, that is 100% compatible with IBM's recent launch for small and midsize businesses, Storwize V3700. According to IBM, midsize and small businesses alone are now responsible for nearly 65% of the global GDP. The launch of Storwize V3700—based on Storwize V7000, IBM's successful storage management solution for large enterprises—will make IBM storage services available to an enormous number of companies globally, as well as providing IBM resellers with numerous opportunities to offer storage management services to a new range of customers.
Wizards Storage Portal (WSP) provides real-time monitoring, analytics, and automated reports and alerts to allow IT departments and their IBM reseller partners more efficient management of their business-critical storage. WSP is compatible with the leading storage management technologies including IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM), Storwize and SAN Volume Controller (SVC).
For small and midsize businesses, where IT budgets are all too often stretched just to keep the lights on, Wizards Storage Portal frees up valuable resources for more strategic, business-focused projects. Using WSP, IT departments can save up to 70% of the time they spend managing IBM storage and backup, while eliminating the need for additional hardware or software.
Peter Wharton, Chief Marketing Officer of Debriefing Software, said, "It's not just the larger enterprises that want to maximize their storage investments: SRM analytics, monitoring and surveillance are equally important to small-to-medium businesses. Like IBM, we see a huge opportunity in the SMB market."
For IBM reseller partners, Wizards Storage Portal enables you to develop turnkey managed services portfolios in order to increase the number of annuity-based customer relationships immediately.
Paul Stroem, Global Sales Director, Debriefing Software, said, "Wizards Storage Portal provides IBM reseller partners with a unique range Storage Resource Management tools and features that can help them build a platform to offer managed services. By using WSP to work more closely with their customers, IBM resellers can extend existing customer relationships while bringing in new customers, creating recurring revenue streams that contribute to higher margins."
The upgraded version of Wizards Storage Portal comes complete with all the features already available in WSP for Storwize V7000, but with a few more features to help businesses save even more time and money.
Jesper Matthiesen, Chief Technology Officer of Debriefing Software, said, "Wizards Storage Portal helps businesses, whatever their size, expand the lifespan of their storage infrastructures. It's not just about data growth. You can also see visual representations of response times, read/write ratios, input/output operations, transferred storage and much more. With this information in hand, it's easy to determine where performance issues have their origins in the storage system."

A few of us BROs had our usual get-together afterwards at the Westwood Brewing Company. These things inevitably have something of a Blue tinge about them. I mean, why would people who were willing to fight L.A. traffic in order to make several practices a year not tend toward a more hopeful nature? Now, all of us were bummed over the injuries to Kevin Brown and Brigham Harwell (Brown's, in particular, since it looked so serious). But nobody was reaching for the razor blades; nobody was ready to write off the season. We all left the restaurant in reasonably good spirits.
When I got home I found a phone message waiting for me… from a friend who might be fairly described as The Arch Crank. He'd finally made it out to a practice (which is what this extended scrimmage was) and, boy, was he pissed. The Kevin Brown incident had gotten me down, too, and I was in no mood to deal with Crank hysteria. An hour or so later the phone rings and, of course, it's him. Now there are certain people with whom you often have problems getting in a word edgewise, especially once they've mounted their soapbox. And so he fired away in rapid succession: "This team is dead! Without Brown, they'll get steamrolled! They can't beat San Diego State! Drew [Olson] still stinks! The offense stinks! The defense stinks! Ben won't even get a shot! The practice reports are just the same ol' crap we hear every year! Nothing's changed! This program's still in the toilet!" Oh mercy nurtz! Finally, when he said that Markey was better than Maurice Drew, I had to reply: "Hey," I yelled, "Mo barely played." Now don't get me wrong, I've always liked Markey… but better than Mo? Not yet… probably not ever. It soon degenerated into an absurd shouting match, something like the spectacle I used to take part in with another friend, before we gave up discussing (accent on cussing) politics. What we had here, I finally figured out, was one more example of Abused Crank Syndrome. Click. Suddenly we got disconnected… he didn't call back. Hmmm… Did The Arch Crank just hang up on me?
BROther Redzone on the BRO premium message board got it exactly right. In the current state of the fractured Bruin Nation (hardcore division), drills, scrimmages and I don't doubt even games have, and will, constitute a kind of Rorschach Test.
Do you want Karl Dorrell uncoupled ASAP? Then: Hey, nothing's changed.
Are you hoping KD succeeds? Do you think the coaching staff is slowly evolving? Then: Hey, things are getting better.
Have you seen enough of Drew Olson? Same old Drew.
Have you, too, been disappointed in Drew's first three years, but, based on what you've seen in pre-season, do you detect some marginal improvement? Uh… yeah.
So this is finally the year of The Marcedes? You finally decide to nose the old Lexus into crosstown traffic and see for yourself. And in two hours he catches, what… three passes? Give me a break.
Yeah, Marcedes Lewis caught three passes, and two went for scores. And how many plays, exactly, did he get?
Look at the way the offense moved the ball. Look at all the scores they gave up. Same ol' crap.
Look at the way the defense held up, even after losing Kevin and Brigham.
And so it goes…
My rule of thumb - especially with regards to college football - is to show a little humility. Leave some room for the unknown. You don't trust the coaches? Fine. But how about applying a little doubt in The World According to You? You think that bad second- or third-year players always become bad fourth-year players? You think that guys who've yet to make an impact are destined always to be "just guys"? Think about Brian Willmer, Tod McBride, Weldon Forde, Matt Clark and God-knows-how-many others. How many of us wanted to see Cade McNown beaten out before the double overtime, 48-41, spectacular vs. SC? You think Tom Ramsey is one of UCLA's great quarterbacks? He likely wouldn't have started his senior year if Jay Schroeder hadn't opted to play baseball. And what were your hopes for Rick Neuheisel, Steve Bono and David Norrie going into their senior years? If hope is the opium of the Blues, cynicism is the cop-out of the Cranks – at least among the obsessive radicals on either side.
So what exactly do we know?: 1) The "KD era" is off to a less than rousing start. His Bruins haven't yet beaten a single formidable opponent, though last year wasn't quite as ugly as the first. 2) Drew Olson hasn't demonstrated he's a legitimate Pac-10 quarterback who can beat good teams… and it's getting way late. 3) The defense was atrocious last year, especially the front four, and even the year before was nothing to write home about. 4) Larry Kerr, though an upgrade from his predecessor, has obviously favored a conservative, vanilla approach (though some believe his personnel dictated this strategy. 5) Tom Cable, though a huge upgrade from his predecessor, has obviously favored a conservative approach in his play-calling (though most believe the quarterback's lack of execution has dictated this approach). 6) Marcedes Lewis has been made to become the weapon that seldom fires (see parenthetical #5).
What would we like to see this year: 1) A lot more than just a winning season. 2) An effective, preferably dangerous quarterback, and a quarterback that won't cost the team a game before he gets yanked. 3) A defense that is not an embarrassment or causes something very like an attack of acid reflux whenever it takes the field. 4) The "attacking" defense that KD promised when he took the job. 5) An aggressive offense and an end, finally, to those infernal stacked boxes. 6) Marcedes Lewis being made to become the weapon we've been waiting to see fired lo' these many years.
All of us, here, are aware of the Bruins sad football history: the national profile that never quite developed. So what's been missing? You know, the Reggie factor, "the straw that stirs the drink"? Player personnel? No. Impact players? Certainly not. Big game losses? Sure. Coaching? Bingo. Whether UCLA coaches are dropping dead on the job, taking off for the NFL, staying too long, or they're just not up to the job… it hasn't been a happy story.
Everyone here, Blues and Cranks alike, are pretty much in agreement this is the "show me" year. We're sitting at strike two. The coaches believe they've got enough personnel to turn this thing around, which is to say at least eight wins. This year there are realistic options for finding an effective quarterback, something no good team can leave home without. After seven straight years of "soft" defensive teams, this one may have possibilities (though they can't afford one more loss comparable to Kevin Brown's, i.e., Justin Hickman, Brigham Harwell, Spencer Havner, or Justin London). There's now some added speed, maturity and valuable experience sprinkled throughout the roster. More positions have become genuinely competitive.
Finally, something about the nature of football practices needs to be clarified: Just because practices are not games does not make them negligible, which misunderstanding seems to be at the heart of much unnecessary howling from the Cranks (at least wait for the first loss). In addition to giving coaches an idea of what they can confidently exploit (or start worrying about), football practices are for teaching… and for establishing a pecking order, a depth chart. How well does this guy understand his assignments? How does he compare to that guy? And what affect does he have on his particular unit? These are judgment calls and, yes, coaches have been known to blow them. Trust the coaches at your own peril, because, like you and me, they're human. Trust your eyes first.
It might also be helpful to remind ourselves that the kind of grueling pressure the quarterbacks, for instance, have faced in the spring, and now pre-season, is nothing compared to what they'll face in games. Drew Olson has yet to succeed in his career; Ben Olson has yet to start his. Does this mean Drew has no chance of succeeding or Ben has no chance of blowing up in his first year? I imagine worse quarterbacks than Drew have salvaged their senior years, and less prepared, less talented quarterbacks than Ben have had great freshman years. Like most of you, I like Ben's chances better than Drew's, but I'm always prepared for the unexpected. And there's still Patrick Cowan.
I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem to me there are a lot of geniuses coaching today. Maybe someone like Urban Meyer, if he can carry over his domination to a real conference. Maybe (though we don't like to think about it) Pete Carroll if he can get similar results less Norm Chow and Ed Orgeron. Bowden and Stoops have lost some luster recently and Joe Pa's shine seems gone for good. There are a few consistently good coaches, lots of average ones, and a few on the "hot seat." We've all got our own ideas which coaches fall into which categories. My point is that the days of Rockne, Leahy, Wilkinson, Blaik… those days are gone. The secrets are pretty much out; the contenders these days are not all that singular. It's been said that Gibbon came along at just the right time when he wrote "The Decline and Fall…" There was just enough information, but not too much. A talented, hard-working guy could more easily get to the top and stay on top.
Today, more than ever, players decide games, influence recruiting and thereby turn programs around. You don't have to be a coaching genius to have a successful season because you're seldom facing a genius across the field. And merely respectable coaches can capitalize on a couple of good years (something Bob Toledo was fatally unable to pull off).
At the risk of being called something like The Resident Blue (please no!) I think it's still premature to declare the Dorrell era hopeless. My friend, The Arch Crank, is pretty sure disaster waits. Like always, except for extreme cases like The Immortal Lav, I think I'll just take it game to game.
Wait, this just in: The Arch Crank just called. He, too, is game to game. Can't we all just get along… at least until the opener?

Nicely thought
actually, the rings on stump tells the age of a tree, not it's height, but this is cute
XD your art is absolutely the funny make happy haha
Moral or the story: If you think somebody is lying about their age, just chop off their head!
Hi!! That is fun and it can be real! I have an idea: you can draw a tree with leaves and other without leaves and say something that is bald.
I don't get why people lie about their age either. Hell, I frequently forget how old I am. After 21, I stopped counting.
Haha XD That's just funny! You have very cute drawings! To bad this isn't a T-shirt design.
defenatly want this one on a shirt!
Sometimes we're just not ready to be as old as we are. I don't lie about my age though. I just hate admitting it. (30)
Hahaha . . . Enough said.
I find it dumb that people lie about their age. Yet, for things like Youtube it's understandable *I'm a gamer who wants to be able to see game trailers rather than a Mature Content Filter always popping up. Pretty sure being 16 means I can handle small nudity, gore, and violence. I'm not some bubble boy :/*
O_O that number of rings would make her 4
this is funny!!
Men lie about there gender in video games if that counts ouo
I can't stop loving your stuff, it's so epic genious!
LSP face!
b/c the reality can be depressing
Good stuff.
lol this made me laugh :3
I'll do it as a joke but then tell then tell that person my real age no problem right after xD
Sooo, i dunno. I feel old and i'm not ashamed of my age xD
Sooo, i dunno. I feel old and i'm not ashamed of my age xD
What I don't get is why people say they're younger than they really are... Say a woman's turning 40 and she lokos her age. She says she's 30, people think "Wow, she looks old for 30," but if she tells them she's 50... see where I'm going?

History between War Memorial, Art Museum disrupts overhaul
On the way toward reshaping the more than half-century relationship between the War Memorial Center and the Milwaukee Art Museum, old history and simmering resentments are threatening to disrupt a planned $25 million overhaul of the iconic lakefront temple that's home to the museum and local veterans groups.
Revenue from a parking lot and who controls land on the north side of the center have become the final battleground in a dispute that has its roots in a 1997 amendment to the long-term lease the War Memorial Center has with the county on the building. A 2001 revision to the '97 pact was intended to put the dispute to rest. »Read Full Article(34)

Quasimondo takes dark, funny look at American life in 'Americlown'
In the first of 14 skits composing "Americlown" — a provocative and original production from Quasimondo Milwaukee Physical Theatre's Brian Rott and Jessi Miller — we watch the cast impersonate young schoolchildren, awakening to the magic of language as they painstakingly spell out a word, with awe and mystery in their eyes.
That word is pledge, and within seconds this slightly discombobulated troupe of innocents has been whipped into shape, becoming a regimented cadre. Eyes blazing with hate, they defiantly shout allegiance to the flag while marching off to war. »Read Full Article(2)

If you see 2 drives one for dx50 and one for sdcard, than everything is OK. The system files of DX50 is not displayed in explorer.
thank you I think I will have to do that.
Thank you for your reply. I just see 'e' and 'f' drives now so I guess the device drivers have gone! The DX50 screen does not show usb hook-up either. Is there any way of reloading them?

Is there a way to do it yet? I had encounter the same problem as well. Please help! =(
Hi, dont panic, it can be fixed - I did the exact same thing a couple of days after owning mine!
Power off the device, then turn it on while pressing and holding Volume up to enter recovery mode.
Once Recovery Boots use the Volume down button to scroll down to 'Wipe Data / Factory Reset' and then press the power button to perform the action. After a moment it will complete - then select 'reboot system now'.
This should reformat the internal storage and make it available to use again!
Hope it helps!
Any luck reviving it?
Hi sorry for late reply, I ended up having the dx50 replaced under warranty and have since bought a dx90.
Many thanks for your reply though.

My post about OSHA is going after ammo manufacturers got a link from Instapundit last week. While the number of hits weren't as great as some people; with total of 6,975 page views in one day it is much better than the first time I got one. And it is the most page views I have gotten in a single day since I switched to Word Press in December of 2012 and perhaps ever.
Here is a more visual view:

Sometimes you know a blog post or tweet will get some attention. I expected the days of effort I put into the Smart Gun stuff would get some attention and it did. Other times something I put a few seconds into gets attention which I didn't expect it all.
Today I went to a Steel Challenge match at Renton Fish and Game Club. I tweeted about how wet it was after the days of rain we have had around here. No one seemed to care and I didn't expect anyone would.
Expected a similar non-reaction when I tweeted:
There are quite a few women at the match today. pic.twitter.com/2VtjYemPQC

Interesting. There were three people that made it a favorite and two retweeted it. The combined followers of the people that retweeted is over 40,000 people.
You just never know how must attention something you say or do is going to get.

Comment to Their humor is very telling
[I have long been pleased to have ubu52 comment on my blog and have invited her to attend Boomershoot to meet friends and others in the gun culture. I always viewed her as mildly anti-gun but with good intentions. My model for her was that she understood the facts and the logic of the gun rights movement but had trouble getting over some emotional hurdles into real acceptance. I appreciated her "keeping us honest" when we would get a little carried away with conclusions not fully supported by the evidence. It was "fear" of her calling me on something that would cause me to do a little more research before stating something I wasn't totally sure of.
My model of her totally changed last night after I read a comment from her about a fiction, extremely graphic, story about someone engaging in degrading, casual sex with Ann Coulter. Her comment was:
The writing is brilliant, creative and professional. No editing required. No surprise, it was written by someone in LA because there are so many professional "creatives" here.
You may not like it because it doesn't match your core beliefs, but the writing is brilliant.
This blew apart my previous model for her. I'm not sure what to think now but whatever model Defens is using is consistent with the known data.—Joe]

Sorry about that.
But this may explain the complaints I have occasionally received from readers about popup ads here. There should not be any here. But if someone was able to infect Sitemeter's scripts then such a thing is possible.

Update: The move has been postponed due to technical difficulties in the exporting of the content. You may comment and post as desired until further notice.
Commenters: I'm moving my blog to another hosting provider. Any comments you make while this post is visible will be lost.
Co-bloggers: Any posts you make while this post is visible will be lost.
For months people have been getting 503 errors from my websites including this blog. They would all go bad at the same time and come back at the same time. My hosting provider was of almost no help. Ry suggested I try something and it sounded better than anything anyone else suggested so I have implemented it on the more important domains.
It may take an hour or so for the changes to drift your way over the "intertubes" but should you see strange behavior or errors on my websites after about 2:15 PDT today please let me know.
Update: I'm still getting the errors. Don't bother to tell me about them.
As pointed out in a comment by Greg "Blotto" Garrett on Larry Correia's blog the famous quote supposedly by George Orwell:
People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
The closest people have been able to find in his writings is:
Those who "abjure" violence can only do so because others are committing violence on their behalf.
Orwell also wrote of Kipling: "He sees clearly that men can only be highly civilized while other men, inevitably less civilized, are there to guard and feed them."
I am guilty of using the inaccurate quote.
Also pointed out by Garrett is that the most famous quote of Edmund Burke isn't really true either:
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
I am sort of guilty of using that one.
Don't repeat my mistakes.
Yes. My blog, and all my websites, have been delivering a lot of 503 error codes recently. When the error appears on my blog it also means that boomershoot.org, modernballistics.org, xeniajoy.com, scottfamilyplace.org and others are all doing the same.
When I last talked to tech support about this they said it was because I am getting more than 500 simultaneous connections. My logs from just the first four days of May show over 3000 "GET" requests for "wp-login.php" from nearly 1000 IP addresses. I read this as my blog is under attack.
I'm not convinced my logs are showing me everything.
I'll investigate more this week.
A human right is a bit like the sun. The sun is essential to life. You can bask in it, or hide from it. You may be able to change people's attitudes toward it, or even start a religion around it. You may hate it or love it, or be largely indifferent to it, or think anything you want to think about it. If you fail to deal with it properly it can burn or even kill you, but without it you are dead. You could get a group of sun haters together in the street and carry picket signs denouncing the sun, and you might even be able to lobby enough idiots and criminals in Congress to get laws passed denouncing the sun.
But two things will remain true no matter what you think or do. A) your life depends on the sun, and B) neither you, nor any group of people, any committee or government body, no force on Earth, has the power to alter it in any way. You did not create it and you cannot alter or destroy it.
Similarly, human rights can be respected and honored, or they might be despised and violated, but they cannot be created, granted, altered, revoked or destroyed by any force on Earth no matter how popular or powerful that force may be. That's where we get the term "unalienable" as applied to human rights in the Declaration of Independence.
This in partially in response to McThags post here;
"He's head and shoulders above A&E who may be in violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act for suspending him. Oh yeah, everyone who's been saying that A&E had every right to fire him over his remarks forgot the religion clause of that law, didn't they?"
But it apples to all such discussions. I'd comment over there, but commenting seems to require a google account and I'm not starting a google account.
The "Civil Rights Act" does not create, enhance, or modify any right, any more than a law can create, enhance or otherwise modify a star in some other galaxy or a physical law of the universe, though it certainly may be used as a tool or an excuse to violate some rights. Mostly it's just some words written by people who don't understand the meaning of rights, or hope that the rest of us don't understand.
I've added a new "partner" to The View From North Central Idaho: GunSafes.com. They offer free shipping on a large line of gun (and other) safes. They are almost a neighbor being physically located in North Idaho.
I'm not so sure about the Mesa Hitch Hiker Vehicle Safe even if it is kinda cool. I wish they had a console vault for one of my vehicles.
All I know for certain about this person is they are ignorant, an Android user, and Sitemeter captured their visit to my blog. My hope is that those vectors are orthogonal. Their entry page to my blog is here.

I have just laid down in my sleeping bag near Boomershoot Mecca. No tent. Just the sleeping bag, pads, pillow, and a blanket.
I was going to fire up my computer and make a quote of the day post to go live at 6:00 AM but it is totally quiet except for an occasional dog barking a half mile or more away and the sky is moonless and clear. I can easily see the Milky Way. The QOTD blog post can wait. Tonight I'm going to watch the stars instead.
