SANDY -- The Oregon Trail School District will break ground for its new, $110 million Sandy High School next Wednesday evening after the City Council denied nine appeals to a permit that governs its design, construction and land use.
The council took 2 1/2 hours Monday night to decide the appeals. It heard no testimony -- 4 1/2 hours of that came a week earlier -- but discussed and voted on parking, roof lines, maintenance roads, sports field lights and five other issues. While denying the appeals, it added conditions to three areas of the permit to clarify concerns.
After the vote, Mayor Linda Malone tried to reassure the audience that despite the contentious appeal, work on clearing the 83-acre site and other construction planning had continued "and the democratic process has worked in land use as it is supposed to."
"It's been an interesting process to me," said Malone, adding that she felt the city had cooperated with the school district in the permit and appeal process. "At every step of the way we've tried to be a good partner."
School district voters approved a $114.9 million bond in November 2008 to repair five schools and build a new high school. After 18 months of community input and design work, the Sandy Planning Commission in May approved a construction permit with five exceptions to design standards and two variances. It was promptly appealed by three neighbors: Walker, Ron Bush and Bob Cecil.
Here are the nine appeals, the council's vote and any added conditions:
- Appellants wanted pedestrian trails on 3 1/2 sides of the property open at all times to the public, and a sidewalk along Bluff Road. The council voted 6-1 to deny the appeal, deleting a north-south trail on the northwest corner of the property, limiting public access to non-school hours but requiring the Bluff Road sidewalk.
- Appellants objected to the use of Core-ten steel, which is a rust-colored, on much of the theater fly loft, arguing steel was not allowed over such a large area. The council voted 6-1 to deny the appeal, saying the amount of steel was much less than design limits.
- Appellants said the district needed a variance for previously installed, sports-field, 90-foot poles and wanted their lamps shaded to keep light out of nearby neighborhoods. The council denied the appeal but required the district to do a light study before it opens the school in September 2012.
- Appellants wanted pavement and drainage controls for existing maintenance roads. The council voted 4-3 to reject the appeal but required a plan to protect wetlands from runoff on a gravel road near the soccer field.
- Appellants said the district needed a variance for a roof design not in the high-pitched "Sandy style" and objected to vertical boards partially covering some east-facing class windows. The council denied the appeal, saying the 310,000-square-foot school was too big to have a pitched roof and the boards were an environmentally friendly way to shade rooms and control temperatures.
- Appellants wanted the district to address off-street parking, an issue with the current high school. The council denied the appeal, saying new parking lots with spaces for 757 cars -- almost five times the current amount -- complied with codes and was adequate for school and community functions.
- Appellants wanted the district to extend a street -- Kate Schmitz Avenue -- from where it currently ends near the south edge of its property to Bell Street. The council denied the appeal, agreeing with the district to put money into a city account that would cover the cost of constructing half of the street only where it bordered school property.
- Appellants wanted a new sewer line to run across school property instead of along Bluff Road and to extend another line to serve the northeast part of the property east of Bell. The appeal was withdrawn when Bush recognized this would mean putting sewer mains under the high school itself.
- Cecil objected only to a variance that allowed the school to have an 81-foot-high theater fly loft in a residential area with a 35-foot height restriction. The council denied the appeal.
After the votes, School Board Chairman Randy Carmony said he was pleased with the outcome and that the district would make "everything work" with new conditions on the site.
Councilman Jeremy Pietzold thanked the school district for its efforts to work with the city over the years and said he looked forward to a new school for his children.
"I remember being a freshman at Sandy High in 1987 -- we needed a new school then," he said. "This is a great, amazing asset to our city."

As a result of a contract change that will give elementary teachers more planning time, Jackson Public Schools kindergartners will no longer be offered specialized classes in areas such as art, music, gym or computers, officials said.
Kindergartners previously attended what are called "specials" during a teacher's planning time, which was 40 minutes in elementaries. During that time, students left their classroom and went to a different room for specialized instruction from another teacher.
But teachers now have 55 minutes of prep time, the same as high school and middle school instructors, leaving less time for specials.
Paraprofessionals, or classroom aides, will supervise the kindergartners while teachers are on prep. All other grades will still receive specials.
"We tried together to work out a schedule that would be cost-efficient and would save money, and possibly meet their desire for smaller class sizes and specials schedules, and improve planning time," Superintendent Dan Evans said.
Many parents are upset that kindergartners will not have the same specialized instruction as other students attending full-day school, said Carol Raykovich, former president of Cascades Elementary School's Parent Teacher Association
"The parents realize the kids are singing songs in the classroom or doing science," she said. "We realize that's part of their whole education. But computers are not."
Raykovich said she does not think teachers will have time to take students to the computer lab during their regular teaching hours.
Evans said Jackson is not mandated to offer all-day kindergarten. It costs $750,000 a year, so it requires some give-and-take, he said.
"We're trying to work with principals right now in how we can have some computer time," Evans said. "There are things that they are going to do that will supplement (specials); it's just not going to be at formalized times."
The contract changes also gave kindergarten teachers smaller classes in addition to extra prep time, which Evans said he expects will improve the quality of instruction.
Officials from the local teachers union could not be reached for comment.
"It has been a request for many years for elementary teachers to get equal planning time as high school teachers," said Rosemary Carey, a spokeswoman for the Michigan Education Association.
There has not been enough money for some time to hire teachers to offer all specials in all of Jackson's elementary schools, Evans said.
Every class has a special each day, but there is no consistency. The larger elementaries Northeast, Frost and Hunt have teachers for a different special each day, but some smaller schools either share special teachers or offer only three different courses.
For example, Cascades and McCulloch will have music, gym and science this year but will not have special computer and library time, which some parents say is wrong, Raykovich said.
McCulloch Principal Frances Reeves' school is designated as a science and technology magnet but even without computer time, she said, many classes use the lab every day for core subjects.

If Ole Miss isn't careful, it's going to win enough games to be eligible for the postseason.
For a team that was basically left for dead after two horrible seasons that produced just six wins and the start of a 15-game conference losing streak, the Rebels have some real fight in them this year, and new coach Hugh Freeze might know what he's doing over there in the Grove.
Through five games, Ole Miss has already surpassed last year's win mark by a game (three), and it actually has an offense that fans can stomach and get excited about. More importantly, it has a team that fights and plays for its coach.
You couldn't really say that last year about the Rebels, who eventually lost Houston Nutt before the season even finished.
But things are much different. The caliber of ball played by the Freeze-led Rebs is much better. So is the discipline and the attitude. The product is bearable. And the expectations are higher.
Yes, five games in and we have to seriously consider the Rebels for a bowl game. In fact, some kind of expect it with the way they're playing and with the way their opponents are playing, as well.
While Ole Miss is fresh off a 19-point loss to No. 1 Alabama, there are a few positives the Rebels can build off from that game. After being annihilated by the Tide last year with basically the same personnel, the Rebels put it to the defending champs for a while.
Alabama stood with the 33-14 win Saturday night, but if the Rebels wanted to, they could have easily claimed a moral victory in Tuscaloosa. It was certainly there for the taking when you consider that this team stopped Alabama's gaudy lead streak that dated back to Oct. 22, 2011, scored two touchdowns on that vaunted Tide defense and held Alabama to just 305 yards of offense, including not allowing any running backs to eclipse the 83-yard mark.
Think about how far this defense has come since that nightmarish 35-point loss to Texas.
Freeze wasn't interested in moral victories Saturday night. He wanted the real one, as improbable as it might have been.
"I'm pleased with the effort and attitude of our kids and how hungry they are to succeed," Freeze said. "I'm disappointed because I feel like we should have been in it the fourth quarter and for whatever reason -- we can go through all of them -- we didn't get there. The next step in this journey is to get there. Get in that fourth quarter. I don't know if we'll win it or not but sure would feel good to play as hard as they're playing and get in one."
Kudos to Freeze for being genuinely disappointed. If not for three costly turnovers, terrible special-teams play and some execution issues, Ole Miss really might have made a game of it in the fourth quarter. This is certainly something the Rebels can build on and be upset about.
Last year, we saw a team that didn't play for its coach. Really, it was a group of athletes playing, not a team. The leadership stunk and players admitted to giving up far before games were over.
You don't see that this season. You see a team determined to move out of the SEC West cellar. It has better quarterback play, with Bo Wallace taking over (his turnover issues have to stop), and Donte Moncrief might be the most underrated receiver in the SEC.
It's obvious Freeze's spread is working, as the offense ranks fourth in the SEC, and while the defense has its issues, it's nowhere near as clumsy as it was last season.
When you look at the rest of Ole Miss' schedule, believe it or not, a bowl berth isn't an impossibility. Who can seriously sit here right now and say the Rebels wouldn't be favored against Auburn (home), Arkansas or Vanderbilt (home)? Win those and the Rebels are at six wins and can head to the postseason.
And don't count them out in the game against Mississippi State, which is in Oxford. When you have a team that has been disrespected by its rival for three straight years and has a coach who knows this is the game to win, things can get interesting.
Ole Miss still has a lot of work to do, and the lack of overall depth could be an issue down the stretch, but when you look at the Rebels, it's clear the SEC losing streak is coming to an end. And it isn't crazy to think that this team could be playing a 13th game.

January 5
Indictments are filed in the US against Kim Dotcom and six Megaupload associates citing alleged criminal copyright infringements, racketeering and money laundering related to the cyberlocker site.
January 20
Kim Dotcom is arrested at his mansion in Coatesville, north of Auckland, in the most dramatic of a series of police raids involving more than 70 New Zealand officers, in cooperation with the FBI. The Megaupload site is disabled by the US Department of Justice, who declare a "mega conspiracy". Millions of dollars of assets are seized in subsequent days.
Dotcom is held at the Auckland Central Remand Prison. "Every two hours, they would wake me up," he would later say. "I was deprived of sleep. I wrote a complaint. I said, 'This is torture, this is sleep deprivation.'"
January 25
In the North Shore District Court, Justice David McNaughton rules that Dotcom is a flight risk, and denies bail. "With sufficient determination and financial resources, flight risk remains a real and significant possibility, which I cannot discount, and bail is declined," he says.
February 3
The High Court refuses an appeal against the District Court decision to deny Dotcom bail. Justice Asher says he backs the earlier decision, and does not see sufficient ties to New Zealand to persuade him that Dotcom is not a flight risk. He stays in the slammer.
February 22
Dotcom is granted bail by the North Shore District Court, with conditions including the wearing of an electronic bracelet for monitoring, keeping within a 50 mile radius of his home and staying away from helicopters. Other requirements include living in the smaller house beside the main Chrisco mansion, and a ban on use of the internet.
Justice Nevin Dawson says Dotcom has "every reason to stay to be with his family and fight to keep his assets" but that he isn't to get on the internet because he has "the ability to use it for wrong purposes".
March 1
In his first major TV interview since his arrest, Dotcom tells the Campbell Live programme that he is no "piracy king", saying the US attempt to extradite him are built on "fabrications and lies". He adds: "It's kind of like weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, you know? If you want to go after someone and you have a political goal you will say whatever it takes."
March 22
The High Court grants Kim Dotcom an increased monthly living allowance (drawn from his frozen funds) to NZ $60,000. He also has a 2011 Mercedes returned.
April 2
Dotcom's bail conditions are relaxed to allow him to spend time in a recording studio making an album, to access the internet and to use his swimming pool, following a hearing before Justice David Harvey in the North Shore District Court.
April 27
The story spawns a political scandal subplot, centring on anonymous donations made by Dotcom to rightwing MP John Banks during an earlier campaign for the Auckland mayoralty. Banks makes it crystal clear that he not travelled on a river in a cabbage boat.
May 7
Dotcom releases "The John Banks Song", lampooning the ACT MP.
May 23
Dotcom's lawyers claim that digital material has been cloned by the FBI and taken to the US in contravention of an undertaking by prosecutors. Paul Davison QC tells the Auckland High Court the process was "off the rails" and his client's rights had been "subverted".
May 29
Dotcom is permitted to remove his electronic tag and move back into the main Chrisco mansion after district court judge David Harvey rules that there is no serious flight risk. Dotcom has abided by all the requirement of his bail to date, says the judge.
The court also makes an important ruling on disclosure, ordering that Dotcom's legal team should have access to information gathered by the FBI in the copyright case against him.
May 31
Dotcom's lawyer's ask US courts to throw out charges against Megaupload, saying that the US government has no jurisdiction over the Hong Kong-based cloud-storage service.
June 13
The US Attorney's office says the Megaupload request to dismiss charges is "premature" and should be denied.
June 15
The NZ High Court grants an urgent judicial review of an earlier ruling that Dotcom's legal team should have access to files held by the FBI, but orders US lawyers to begin copying the data from seized computers immediately.
June 21
Dotcom uses his newly created Twitter account to announce that his music-streaming project Megabox will go ahead.
June 24
#Swimatkims happens.
June 28
In the High Court, Justice Helen Winkelmann rules that the raid on the Dotcom Mansion (see January 20) was illegal, and based on invalid search warrants. She additionally finds that it was unlawful for clones of digital material seized to be sent to the FBI.
June 29
A federal court in Virginia grants a request to hear a motion to dismiss the case against Dotcom and his co-accused colleagues. The hearing is expected on July 27. A request to unfreeze funds to pay Megaupload lawyers' fees is deferred by the judge, who says he will reconsider if the motion to dismiss fails.
July 10
Dotcom's lawyers advise that the extradition hearing, scheduled for August 6, has been put back until March next year, owing to the number of unresolved matters before the courts. "Dirty delay tactics by the US," claims Dotcom on Twitter. "They destroyed my business. Took all my assets. Time does the rest."
Put March 25 in your diary. But use a pencil.
July 18
District Court Judge David Harvey, an internet expert, stands down from the Kim Dotcom case following controversy over a remark he made at a Nethui conference session on trade and copyright in which he said "the enemy is U.S." (It was intended as a jolly pun – rather than "us".)
He will be replaced by Judge Nevin Dawson.
July 20
The heavily trailed Mr President song and video is released by Kim Dotcom, challenging Barack Obama over internet freedom.
July 26
The New Zealand police announce that they will not be laying charges against MP John Banks over three anonymous donations – one from Kim Dotcom – made during an earlier mayoral campaign.
August 7
Dramatic footage of the raid on the Coatesville mansion is played in the High Court in Auckland in the first of three days of hearings in relation to a judicial review over disclosure of evidence.
August 16
The Auckland High Court dismisses an attempt to overturn an earlier District Court ruling that the FBI must allow Kim Dotcom and his team to see evidence being used against them in his extradition case. (Judgment in PDF here.)
In a separate strand of the court drama, Dotcom appears in court to request funds be unlocked by to allow him to pay legal and living costs. His legal bill to date is estimated at $2.7m, says his lawyer.
August 29
Dotcom is granted a fresh release of $6 million in previously frozen funds by the Auckland High Court. The money, to be drawn from a $10 million government bond, includes $2.6 million to cover current NZ legal fees, $1 million in future costs and $1 million in rent.
September 4
Dotcom comes under attack for "rape joke" tweets.
September 13
Police release evidence given by Dotcom in relation to their inquiry into John Banks's mayoral donations (see April 27, June 26). According to Dotcom, Banks told him: "I want to help you, Kim, and I can help you more effectively if no one knows about this donation."
September 19
Kim Dotcom, in Wellington ahead of a Court of Appeal hearing, pops into the public gallery at parliament, to watch prime minister John Key bat away questions from opposition MPs over the John Banks mayoral donations saga (see September 13). Dotcom tells reporters that Key has privileged political expediency over ethics, but that it is now time to "move on".
September 20
A crown appeal against an earlier High Court decision on evidence disclosure (see August 16) begins at the Court of Appeal in Wellington.
September 24
NZ PM John Key orders an inquiry into "the circumstances of unlawful interception of communications of certain individuals by the Government Communications Security Bureau" in relation to the Megaupload case.
September 27
John Key apologises to Kim Dotcom following the release of the Neazor report on the illegal interception of communications (see Sept 24). The report confirms that the agency had illegally conducted surveillance on Dotcom and his colleague Bram Van Der Kolk, both New Zealand residents.
October 10
A US court rejects Megaupload's request to dismiss criminal proceedings on the grounds that the US government failed to serve the company, given it has no US address (see June 29). Kim Dotcom retorts: "US judgement scary for non-US companies: By not establishing a US office you 'purposefully' chose to evade US jurisdiction?"
October 29
Reports suggest police have launched an investigation into the Government Communications Security Bureau's illegal spying on Dotcom (see September 24), following a complaint from the Green Party.
It is confirmed that the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service found in its investigation into Kim Dotcom that he posed no security risk.
November 1
The "splash page" for the new Mega site is launched at Me.ga – a rush of demand overloads the servers, prompting Dotcom to tweet: "All FBI agents pressing reload hahaha….. We see their IP addresses. LOL!!!"
He plans to launch the site proper on January 20, 2012, the first anniversary of his arrest.
November 4
Dotcom announces that he intends to breathe fresh life into plans to provide a second major undersea internet cable linking the US and New Zealand. The project, which would come with bargain broadband for New Zealanders, would be funded by suing the US.
November 12
With Gabon having denied the relaunched Mega website its domain suffix (.GA), Kim Dotcom reveals that the new site will instead be Mega.co.nz. There appears to be no truth to imaginings that Dotcom had come close to changing his name to Kim Dotga, nor that he would now become Kim Dotcodotenzed.
November 24
Dotcom's legal team makes a fresh attempt to have the case thrown out, accusing the FBI of a "double-cross", They argue that they had left evidential material on the site at the instruction, via their server operator, of the FBI, only for the FBI to point the finger at them for failing to remove it.
December 6
In another victory for Dotcom's team at the High Court, Justice Winkelmann clears the way for a damages claim against the police and the Government Communications Security Bureau in relation to the unlawful search warrant used in the mansion raid. The GCSB is ordered to reveal secret details about "all entities" with which it shared information, including "members of Echelon/Five Eyes, including any United States authority". The Echelon network is an intelligence alliance between NZ, the US, Australia, Canada and the UK.
December 20
The extradition hearing is delayed again – this time to August 2013.
January 9
A Canadian court refuses a request to send copies of servers hosting Megaupload data to US prosecutors, saying the demand is overly broad.
January 11
The FBI respond to the claims of "entrapment", calling them "baseless" (see Nov 24 2012).
January 16
Broadcaster Mediaworks cancels an extensive radio campaign promoting Mega, apparently after pressure from record companies.
January 20
Kim Dotcom and his colleagues launch their new "Mega" site with a lavish party at the Coatesville mansion. Exactly a year after the raid at the same spot, actors stage a repeat invasion, complete with a helicopter emblazoned with "FBI" flying above. Dotcom boasts that the volume of registration in the first hours of the new site sets a new record for startups.
January 28
Kim Dotcom spends a bizarre day chez Sir Paul Holmes.
February 7
Vikram Kumar, former head of InternetNZ, joins Mega as CEO.
March 1
Dotcom and his team suffer a significant setback in the New Zealand Court of Appeal, which overturns an earlier decision of the District Court (see May 29), upheld by the High Court (see August 16, 2012) that the US must provide extensive disclosure of documents ahead of an extradition hearing.
In a summary issued with the full judgement (here, PDF), the court says:
Under the Extradition Act 1999 the United States must, among other things, satisfy the District Court that there is a prima facie case against Mr Dotcom and his associates – that they have a case to answer. The United States is entitled to do this by summarising the evidence against Mr Dotcom in what is called the record of the case. The question for the Court was whether the record of the case procedure contemplated disclosure on the basis ordered by the District Court. The Court decided that it did not.
March 7
The Court of Appeal rules (PDF) that Dotcom can sue the Government Communications Security Bureau alongside New Zealand Police, upholding the High Court decision (see December 6, 2012) . The court ruled in favour of the crown, however, in overturning the earlier instruction that the GCSB to hand over all of its spying evidence against Dotcom and his his associate Bram van der Kolk. Only information relevant to the case needed to be provided, it said.
March 20
Documents released under the Official Information Act relating to the illegal spying on New Zealand residents Kim Dotcom and Bram can der Kolk show, in the words of TV3 political editor Patrick Gower, "the police and spies are donkey-deep in bureaucratic butt-covering of the highest order". They also reveal that Dotcom had been given the code name "Billy Big Steps".
April 9
The revelation that as many as 88 individuals have been unlawfully spied on is among details of the Kitteridge report (PDF) into the capability, governance and performance of the Government Communications Security Bureau – prompted by revelations of illegal spying of Kim Dotcom – published by the government and the GCSB earlier than intended after details are leaked to and published by Fairfax.
For more detailed timelines plotting the connection between the GCSB ructions and the spying on Dotcom see here, here and here.
April 15
The Dotcom legal team returns to the High Court in Auckland, agreeing to postpone an attempt to sue the police for the illegal raid, separating that claim from their request for evidence seized during the raid to be returned.
May 8
A "white paper" is published, detailing evidence that Dotcom's legal team argue are shows "the crimes he's accused of do not exist under US law and that the prosecution was carried out at the behest of special interest groups close to the Democratic Party".
The release is timed to coincide with a visit to New Zealand by the US attorney-general, Eric Holder, who is attending a meeting of the Quintet of Attorneys General.
The documents can be viewed here.
May 31
The High Court, which earlier ruled that search warrants for the raid of the Dotcom mansion in January of last year were invalid (see June 28 2012) orders the NZ Police to return to Dotcom and his co-accused all items seized in the raid that are not relevant to a future trial, as well as clones of all other digital information, including that which has been sent to the US.
June 9
Revelations about the extensive, secret Prism data collection system in the US lead Dotcom to suggest that it was used in the GCSB's illegal surveillance of his communications.
June 10
The extradition hearing is postponed for a fourth time, to April 2014. Provision is made for an earlier trial in November 2013 should disclosure appeals be resolved more quickly, but that seems unlikely.
July 3
Kim Dotcom squares up to NZ prime minister John Key at the NZ Parliament Intelligence and Security Committee, which is hearing submissions on the GCSB amendment bill that would change and expand the powers of the agency.
July 30
The dispute over disclosure of evidence (see Marh 1) reaches the New Zealand Supreme Court. Oral argument is expected to take just one day.
This Herald piece offers a useful account of the huge legal costs being amassed, and a breakdown of the different court battles under way.
August 29
The NZ Police announce that while Kim Dotcom and Bram van der Kolk were illegally spied on, GCSB staff did not act with criminal intent, and so no charges will be laid against the agency following the request from the Greens (see October 29 2012)
April 2014
Extradition hearing scheduled to begin.

Rep. Eliot L. Engel
Madam Speaker, I rise to introduce the Diabetes Treatment and Prevention Act of 2007 with my good friend, Vito Fossella.
There is no question that diabetes is a mounting challenge for our nation's health care system. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of Americans with diagnosed diabetes has doubled over the past 15 years. Over 20 million Americans are currently living with this disease, but 6 million of them have not yet been diagnosed. Another 54 million are classified as ``pre-diabetic,'' with a high-risk of developing this condition. The statistics are simply staggering.
Beyond being a public health threat, Diabetes accounts for over $92 billion in direct medical costs every year, and these numbers are only likely to increase. The Diabetes Treatment and Prevention Act would increase our ability to prevent new cases of diabetes and improve disease management.
Our bill would codify the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Division of Diabetes Translation and set up demonstration grants to allow for further research on how to translate effective diet and exercise interventions for us in the general populations. It would also increase the ability of state and local health departments to engage in surveillance and education activities, and set up demonstration projects to examine the best ways to treat diabetes when it occurs in conjunction with other chronic health conditions.
I am proud that we have taken a multi-pronged approach in this legislation to attack our mounting diabetes epidemic on two fronts; it will promote research at the Centers for Disease Control so that we may better understand this disease while also funding innovative treatment and education efforts at the state and local level.
This legislation, combined with the Engel/Fossella Gestational Diabetes (GEDI) Act (H.R. 1544), which combats growing rates of Diabetes in pregnant women across the nation will go a long way towards managing and preventing the onset of Diabetes.
I urge my colleagues to co-sponsor this legislation today.

The band is set to take the stage at 7 p.m., with an appearance by Oehrlein Dance School beginning at 6 p.m.
The event is free to the public, but donations are accepted for the Bay Arts Council, which puts on the show. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs.

This story has been updated.
As the fall chill begins to fill the air and the leaves delight us with their colorful display, you can bid adieu to summer by bringing a longtime Southern California trend into your backyard.
Pop-up lunch parties are a great way to surprise your guests with a meal outside of the confines of your dining room. Although you could just as easily make it a dinner party, a late afternoon lunch lets you take advantage of the beautiful glow in the sky.
Having recently helped organize a pop-up seafood restaurant in the middle of a Lancaster field, Kim Koch, senior event specialist with The JDK Group helped us with tips for the perfect pop-up.
The location
The location possibilities for your pop-up lunch gathering are limitless. But keep in mind: You need to dine on public property, or, if the property is private, have explicit (in writing) permission from the owner to be there. Having to pack up the party because you've been asked to leave could get awkward.
Certainly your own backyard is an option, but the idea is to be more creative. "
Koch suggests "somewhere along the river like the Shipoke area. Especially this time of year, you want to take advantage of the foliage turning in the area and surround yourself with beauty to enhance the meal."
The guests
Keep the meal intimate, especially if it's your first foray into pop-up cuisine. Koch says no more than 15 people should be on the invite list. Start with family and friends before you branch out and invite co-workers and others. Want to get really creative? Invite them to the luncheon, but wait until an hour beforehand to relay the location.
The menu
Cooking on-site is an option, if you would like to stick with the concept of a restaurant-style presentation.
"Get a portable grill and warmers you can plug into your car lighter," Koch said. "Do as much prep at home as you can, but as much cooking on site as you can to get a restaurant feel."
If you'd rather cook at home, think soups and comfort foods for the meal. "Especially this time of year, think about things that will travel in a thermos," Koch said.
If a full meal is your heart's desire, rent a hot food box that will keep anything from meat loaf to tenderloin hot.
For the meal, consider an appetizer of local cheeses followed by a main course of soup or, as Koch suggests, a gourmet, meat-filled turnover. Follow with a fun dessert, such as candy apples or donuts with toppings for the guests.
"Don't rush it or overthink it," Koch said. "It's the perfect time to just be with your guests."
The baggage
If you are in your backyard, you can pull out a sturdy table, but for an on-location pop-up, you'll want to pack a folding table. Mix and match chairs from a thrift store or around your house for a vintage feel, or grab a couple of folding chairs for ease.
Hit the fabric store for a nice table covering or, Koch said, "craft paper makes for easy cleanup." Have fun with the plates as well; visit your local thrift store for mismatched china patterns that work well together.
"Certainly some sort of arrangement for the table, not necessarily flowers, but for the fall you can use gourds, apples, pears or wooden bowls," Koch said. "Think about how you would set your dining room table at home for a party and bring those elements with you."
The No-No's
What shouldn't you do when throwing a pop-up meal? You shouldn't set up on private property. Make sure you are on public space and don't leave it in a worse condition than it was in when you found it. Bring a garbage can for trash and — especially if you are cooking on-site — pack a fire extinguisher.
The photo of people dining along railroad tracks that appeared with this story in the Oct. 10 Patriot-News, was taken on inactive tracks on private property with permission. We don't encourage those wishing to throw a pop-up meal to do so on or near train tracks. For more information on train safety education, visit Operation Lifesaver.

SA T20 team: expect 'fresh ideas'
1 March 2013
South African supporters can expect "fresh ideas" from the Proteas in the KFC T20 International Series against Pakistan, says captain Faf du Plessis. The series begins at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead in Durban on Friday.
Addressing the media on Thursday, Proteas T20 captain Faf du Plessis suggested that he would follow an unconventional approach.
The first sign of the new outlook is the decision to open with wicket-keeper batsman AB de Villiers, a move Du Plessis says could be a "hidden gem".
'One of the best'
"We feel that AB is one of the best batsmen in the world," Du Plessis said. "He is one of those players that can score a century on the day, there aren't a lot of players in the world who can do that.
"He is an X-factor player and our plan is looking ahead to the next World Cup."
With only 14 matches to go until the ICC World Twenty20 in Bangladesh next year, the Proteas' management is looking to settle on a stable group of core players who will create a consistency of combinations and game plans.
"We are trying to get a squad of 15, where 95 percent of the players will be going to the World Cup," Du Plessis said. "In saying that, there are still 14 games to make sure that we get our combinations right. That is an area we haven't got it right before.
"Maybe we can use the next six games to try out some combinations and the last few building up to the World Cup to start settling into those combinations and roles, to make sure that we have more of a plan closer to the time."
The lean scheduling of T20 Internationals on the Future Tours Programme makes it difficult for the T20 group to create momentum. However, some pro-active thinking and creativity may help counter this.
"It's not ideal in terms of preparation, but it is what it is," Du Plessis said of the nature of the schedule.
'The future'
"One thing we have decided is to use our practices with the future in mind. As a captain in this series, I will take decisions that may be questioned on the day, but there is a plan behind it.
"We are practising skills now so that we will be better at them in six to 10 games," he concluded.

FALCONER Stacy Howser is an inspiration for anyone fighting to hold on to their dream.
Howser is the new owner of Root Salon, 39 W. Main St., Falconer. Howser opened her business earlier this year along Main Street in Falconer after being denied a location in Jamestown. Howser had found a location on Forest Avenue, remodeled the spot for a beauty salon and was ready to serve the public when she was denied a variance from the city's Zoning Board in June.
Instead of giving up on her dream, Howser went to work finding a new location. She found a former salon spot in Falconer, and now has a bigger shop and plenty of walk-in traffic along Falconer's busy Main Street.

Walk-ins are welcome too.

''I love this location. I think it was a blessing in disguise. Everything happens for a reason,'' Howser said about having to find a second salon location. ''The neighbors here on Main Street have been so friendly and welcoming. Everybody has been so nice.''
Howser said she has been a stylist for 17 years.
''I love making people beautiful,'' she said. ''This is what I always wanted to do. I never thought about anything else. I've always liked doing hair, makeup and being girly. I remember at career day in school, they talked to us about our future, and I saw there was cosmetology ... that is what I wanted to do, so I did it.''
Howser said this is her first salon ownership. She said opening the business was the next logical step as her career continues to grow.
''I like the independence of it,'' she said. ''I have a good team. Everybody works well together. Everybody is comfortable with each other.''
The salon offers haircuts to men, women and children. The stylists do coloring, perms, relaxers and many other hair-care services. The business also offers manicures, pedicures, gel nails and waxing. Howser said she is looking for a stylist and nail technician for the business.
The salon is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 664-2204. Walk-ins are welcome, too.

Comic-Con: Robert Downey, Rachel McAdams take pride in a realistic 'Sherlock Holmes'
The cast and crew of the adventure remake "Sherlock Holmes," present at a press conference at Comic-Con today (July 24), are taking great pride in their film's portrayal of Victorian England, and the look and feel of the master sleuth himself.
"My take is what the puritans would expect. Some of the most surprising things are that oft-associated props never appeared in the novels or short stories. [Holmes] never wore a dearstalker cap, except maybe once, and even then it was described differently," star Robert Downey, Jr., begins to describe.
"Even in Victorian times, people had to shave and had rumpled clothing, and we tried to do that with this film. Particularly with [previous] 'Sherlock Holmes' [films], everybody looks perfect, everybody looks like they just stepped out of a tableau," says the film's producer Lionel Wigram. "Sherlock Holmes has stubble, who spends two weeks laying on his couch between cases. He probably hasn't had a bath, he hasn't shaves, so we wanted to present that."
"We were very dirty," laughed a vibrant Rachel McAdams, who performs in the role of Irene Adler in the film.
But when it came to the script - and its execution - Downey had a way of adjusting the old narratives to flow easier for audiences, who will be able to see the film come Christmas Day this year.
"It's never easy to be relaxed, but we work real hard at making it seem that way, and we write out dialogue to make it seem more natural and have a flow to it," Downey explains. "I really do think Doyle was an amazing, amazing writer and storyteller. But the boundaries are that it's Victorian England, and they're gentlemen, so it's not some of that wavy-gravy, free-flowing stuff."
Rachel McAdams explains more about her role as Irene Adler. "She's a really fun character. She's really her own boss, she's a real free spirit, a woman of the night and of the underworld. She's very acrobatic and has traveled all over the world," she says. "And the costumes! I'm such a girlie girl, it was just like paper dolls. I was in heaven being dressed, from the head down. It was so much fun to be that authentic."
Much of the comedy and suspense of the film, says Downey, comes from the unique and tight-knit relationship between Holmes and his right-hand man Dr. John Watson, played by Jude Law.
"It's called circumstantial homosexuality. I hear this is a staple now, like, 'We need a "Butch & Sundance" scene there and a scene from "Heat" here,' but it's another thing entirely to get into the spirit of 'What does that mean,' when two people are so close that they almost can't stand each other, but they can't stand on their own two feet without each other. Doyle was giving us the first look at what is the two-hander."
"I'm so sorry that [Jude's] not here today. He is so the right arm of this movie," Downey continues, smiling. "He wanted to go do something undeniably legitimate, so he's doing 'Hamlet' right now. 'Hamlet'? Anyone can do that."
"We called Watson 'Hotson,' because, I mean, it's Jude Law," adds McAdams.
Downey hasn't grown weary of the active, iconic roles he's landed and worked as of late, including in 'Ironman' and 'Tropic Thunder,' and has no plans of stopping the trend.
"I think about rock stars, and they always say they're gonna retire by this or that age. And then I think about other guys - who shall remain nameless, one of which just started with Rachel in a movie, who had double franchises going - and are like, 'Gah, too old to do it...' If the material's still good, and if you still love working with the people you love to work with, then why not?" Downey says, though it was unclear if he's referring, perhaps, to recent McAdams co-star Harrison Ford or Russell Crowe.
As for he and his wife Susan's involvement in producing another film, Downey says, "I'm bound for pause. we'll probably have another kid, a Shetland pony, a non-alcoholic vineyard."

We all saw it, the Boston Red Sox saw it too.
After all, it was a rare night off in the midst of a baseball season that possesses only a few of them. The Red Sox don't have another off-day for three weeks.
Did the Red Sox watch baseball on their night off? Perhaps some of them did, but a bunch of them were tuned in to NHL Hockey.
Even if you're like me, someone who would never insult real die-hard hockey fans by referring to myself as one. You must admit that playoff hockey is a different animal. Game 7 of any postseason series is always something special. When that Game 7 involves your team, well that's must-see-television.
So I, like many other New Englanders tuned in to watch last night's Game 7 between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins.
It was a unique experience. By now, anyone reading this knows how amazing the game was. The Bruins entered the first-round series as prohibitive favorites. They leaped out to a 3-1 lead, then the team inexplicably stalled. It was almost as if they wanted that fourth and final win handed to them, as opposed to just taking it.
Toronto wasn't feeling very giving. Two wins in a row set-up last night's Game 7, and after an early first period goal put the Bruins up 1-0, Toronto seized momentum and scored four unanswered goals to go up 4-1 with just over 14 minutes remaining in the game.
At that point the NHL playoff game morphed into the end of the movie "Rocky III." It was as if the Bruins were Rocky and the Maple Leafs were Clubber Lang. The Bruins had to absorb seemingly inhumane amounts of punishment before they got angry enough to deliver their own knockout.
That's what they did.
One goal with 10:32 left in the third period made it 4-2. The score stayed that way until the Bruins, in full-on desperation, mode pulled their goalie and scored 1:22 left in the game to cut the deficit to 4-3.
Still no chance right?
The Bruins promptly pulled their goalie again, and 31 seconds later the game was tied 4-4. They nearly scored again with only a few seconds left on the game clock. ESPN's Howard Bryant tweeted that a goal there would have given the entire city of Boston a heart attack, and I'm not so sure I disagree with him.
They didn't score, so instead it was off to overtime, and a date with destiny.
It took just over five minutes for the Bruins to complete what will go down as one of the greatest comebacks in both NHL and sports history.
When something this amazing happens, players from other sports inevitably notice.
Dustin Pedroia reached out to teammate Jacoby Ellsbury for a Milan Lucic jersey.
Ellsbury expressed sentiments that most fans in New England felt.
Craig Breslow also tweeted a celebratory message.
Will Middlebrooks was clearly watching the action as well.
The Boston Red Sox team twitter account chimed in with a congratulatory message.
Clearly the Red Sox were watching the Bruins.
Hopefully they can feed off of the mountains of positive energy last night's win unleashed.
The Red Sox are on the road for nine games. They've lost nine of their last 11. First place has been replaced by third place. Tonight they're in Tampa for the second of a three game set against the Rays. If Tampa pulled off a sweep, then the Red Sox would wake up Friday morning in fourth place.
For now, they're part of a New England sports community that is celebrating a historical comeback. Hopefully, the Red Sox can find a way to take some of the positive energy the Bruins have provided and infuse it into the team's play and performance.
The Red Sox could use a spark, they can't pull their goalie and Patrice Bergeron and Milan Lucic won't be showing up in Tampa to put on Red Sox uniforms.
Monday night, the Red Sox were just like you and me, they were fans who witnessed an amazing comeback by their local hockey team.
Wednesday night, the Red Sox return to the field, while the rest of us remain fans, hoping to see the Sox turn things around.

SAN FRANCISCO - Death penalty opponents in California are trying a new argument this year: Abolish capital punishment because the perpetually cash-strapped state just can't afford it.
Voters in the state with the nation's largest death row will decide Tuesday whether to repeal the death penalty. Proponents of Proposition 34 say incarceration and litigation costs are too high for too little return.
California has spent about $4 billion since capital punishment resumed in 1977, yet just 13 inmates have been put to death.
An independent analysis says the state would save between $100 million and $130 million a year by converting death sentences to life-without-parole, money supporters say could be put toward public schools and local law enforcement investigations.
"The death penalty is a giant rathole where so much of California's budget is thrown with no discernible benefit," said Dionne Wilson, whose husband, a police officer, was killed by a man now on death row.
A supporter of Proposition 34, she said the death sentence given to her husband's killer "didn't change anything. I still don't have a husband and my children and family are devastated."
Opponents say the argument is merely a smoke screen by the American Civil Liberties Union and other longtime opponents of capital punishment.
Promoting Proposition 34 as a budget-saving mechanism is a convenient way to achieve their goal of ending capital punishment and minimizes the rights of victims, say the law enforcement and victims' rights groups who are waging the campaign against the initiative.
"He deserves the ultimate punishment for what he did to my daughter," said Marc Klaas, whose 12-year-old daughter, Polly, was abducted, raped and killed by Richard Allen Davis in 1993. "The crimes these characters have committed are so beyond the pale that you need an extreme punishment."
Klaas, an outspoken Proposition 34 opponent, acknowledged the state's death penalty is broken because so few inmates have been executed. But rather than do away with it, he said, the appeals process should be streamlined so more executions can be carried out, especially one for his daughter's killer.
Three former California governors - two Republicans and a Democrat- have spoken out against the initiative. One, Republican Pete Wilson, co-wrote the official argument against Proposition 34 that says the ACLU, which is pushing the initiative, is largely responsible for the high costs of housing death row inmates and the lengthy appeals process.
That the group would focus on money to be saved if capital punishment ended is hypocritical, he wrote. Repeal also could lead to higher court costs because prosecutors use the possibility of a death sentence as a way to get defendants to plead guilty to a lesser sentence and thus save costs, said Mike Genest, part of the No on 34 campaign.
Citing one study, he said eliminating that bargaining chip could lead to four times as many criminal trials.

BRICK — A baptism party turned violent in Brick Township early this morning when a man opened fire on a guest before fleeing, authorities said.
The shooting occurred a few hours into the party, shortly before 12:30 a.m. outside the Community Volunteer First Aid building on Mantoloking Road, said Brick police Capt. John Rein.
Rein said Lorenzo Quintero, 25, of Toms River, was shot in the face after he was confronted by a man in the back parking lot.
The shooter fired three shots, one of which hit Quintero, Rein said. The other two shots, from a small-caliber weapon, hit the rear of the building, he said.
Quintero was treated at the scene by Brick police EMS and MONOC paramedics. He was conscious when he was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, Rein said, noting his injuries did not immediately appear to be life threatening. Quintero's condition was not immediately known tonight.
The victim and witnesses provided police with only a vague description of the shooter, who they said was a short Hispanic male. He is believed to have fled the scene in a black or dark-colored sport utility vehicle, possibly with passengers.
Police officers and New Jersey State Troopers stopped vehicles fitting that description early this morning in Brick, Toms River and nearby Bay Head, Rein said.
Investigators believe the shooter also attended the party, which had about 100 guests in the rental hall of the first aid squad building.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Brick Detective Mark Byrne at 732-262-1120.

MACEDONIA, Ohio — I found a male orange cat who is very thin, only six pounds.
He is at least 14 years old. Someone has obviously loved and taken care of this old guy, because he is extremely loveable and sweet. He purrs the minute he is touched or picked up.
He has a hearty appetite for canned food and faithfully uses the litter pan. I would keep him, but I already have three rescued cats. I also think that someone may be looking for him.
I took him to the vet because he is so thin, and the vet said he seems skinny but healthy.
If this is your Kitty, he would love to come home to you. Please call me at 440-991-7737 or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The British public trust the BBC and, by and large, they do so with reason. Though the Corporation may be too big and may be funded in an interestingly anachronistic way, its journalism is usually solid, generally intelligent, almost always trustworthy and sometimes, indeed, inspired.
And so it needs to be. If a reader of The Times dislikes this editorial enough to want to cease supporting this newspaper, they have only not to buy it tomorrow. British citizens have no such recourse with the BBC. It will continue to be funded and influential without their agreement. This creates a position

With a flu-ridden Rudy Gay on the Sacramento bench, and Rajon Rondo and Avery Bradley taking night-long breathers down the other end, the stage was cleared for something truly rare in today's NBA — a sumo-like encounter between two legitimate post players.
By the time Jared Sullinger and DeMarcus Cousins were finished with their paint scoring, often in each other's mug, the Celtics had their third straight win, 99-89, over a hot Kings team last night at the Garden.
Sully Stands Tallest In Celtics Win-MMurphy
Sully more than held his own against DeMarcus Cousins last night. He put the team on his back, which is doing fine by the way haters, and beasted his way to 31 points and 16 rebounds. It was the first such performance by a Celtic since 2007, and only the 5th since 1989. Jared's beasting was not limited to the paint either. His perimeter game is improving night by night, and he will only become that more dangerous.
"What makes Jared unique is he's a big, strong guy that can score over bigger guys in the post," Stevens said. "But then, that's why it's so critical, and we've talked about it, that he continues to work and refine his perimeter game, which he's obviously doing well with. But it's not where it will be someday.
Sullinger gives up nearly 4 inches to Cousins size wise. But Jared used his strength and sheer will to carve out space under the basket. And, as mentioned before, he got himself open from outside and fared well with his jumpers too. Sully is proving more & more every night why Danny Ainge's roll of the dice on draft night was definitely a good gamble. Stevens believes the "sky's the limit".
"But the bottom line is, as he continues to improve, as he continues to get more games underneath his belt, as he continues to get further away from the (back) surgery and gets another summer of work and all of those things, I just think that the sky's the limit. He's playing at a nice level, there's no question about it, but I really believe that he can be a consistent double-double guy."

Homophobic New York senator's lesbian granddaughter speaks out

Reader comments
Why do they always look so guilty
Because they are, and they know they are.
matter of perception
You don't make points you just respond to comments you don't agree with.
You seem to have no self perception you just react to everything around you. your life must be a bit chaotic
And I perceive you as an angry & unpleasant troll pepa.
Here! Here! Pavlos
I second that!
Perception based on plenty of Pepa vitriol on here
No mention in the article of his party affiliation – could it be because he is a DEMOCRAT?
its because hes black-democrats are fiercely pro-rights. Black peopel, unfortunately, are deeply brainwashed by religion-some escape it by simply reading history and seeing how civil rights for gays mirror civil rights for blacks. Religion was used to suppress blacks, the exact same way it is being used to suppress gays. Fortunately, it wont work-equality is just around teh corner. It is sad though that Diaz doesnt read about his better, Coretta and Martin Luther-both supported gay rights. Martin Luthers whole career was aided by his right hand man, a gay man. Shame on Diaz
It comes to something when we say all LGBTQI people want is to the right to be ourselves and love and these vile Christians only want the right to hate and kill.
So who again is the Evil amongst us?
Please try to remember that not all Christians are homophobic. I am not a Christian but I welcome the ones who are not homophobic.
This article is about a 'certain' type of Christian.
I am responding to that 'certain' type of Christian.
I do know this idiot doesn't represents all Christians.
I have not said my comment was targetted at all Christians.
If I did I would have said so.
I used to, but have since stopped, putting that I know not all Christian in favour of, I know what I mean when it's in regard of the story, it's you that clearly thinks I mean All Christians, which begs the question..
Why the guilty conscience?
Ah okay fair enough.
I don't have a guilty conscience.
The article didn't mention that he was a Christian.
Yes, Yew, but vast majority of those who oppose equality for all are christians-taht is fact-very few hate gays just because
Senator Ruben Diaz is also Reverend Ruben Diaz.
In 1978 he became an ordained Minister of the Church of God.
Please try to remember that not all Christians are homophobic. I am not a Christian but I welcome the ones who are not homophobic.
Never really agreed with this. If you belong to a group and dont agree with their actions , then you leave. But if you stay even as a passive observer, then you are as guilty of hate as the person standing next to you spouting it out.
But I do respect you point of view.
Well jockstrap your side has advocated for the murder of senior citizens, also your side has advocated for the removal of age of consent laws and are for pedophilia, and also lets not forget that you claim that all people who believe in a god are "mentally ill."
This is "tolerance" for you.
1) When and how did I advocate the murder of senior citizens?
2) When and how did I advocate the sexual abuse of children?
3) When and how did I claim that people with a religious or spiritual view of life were mentally ill?
pepa you are a complete fantasist, an an unpleasant one at that. Get a grip woman.
It's a woman?
I have always perceived pepa as a woman.
Having viewed Pepa's webpage I can vouch that he's a he, though I'm still a bitr confused about where he stands on everything else.
Perhaps he could explain?
I have always percieved pepa as a Republican, somewhat confused, child obsessed pervert.
When has anyone Ever 'advocated' those things, pepa?
Is this you and 'your friends' again, that no-one else ever hears from?
I would like proof of me saying anybody believing in God is menatlly ill?
and proof about the murder of 'senior citizens and the removal of the age of consent?
As for that comment and the paedophilia comment I think your sick and I am starting to think people should be concerned about the welfare of children around you.
You keep bringing up that particular subject but I think your trying to find someone to agree with you and your not so what are you doing here?
Are you on some sex offenders register or something because you just can't leave that topic alone?
Your obsessed with children pepa and I for one find you disgusting and I hope they lock you away.
It seems yet again you make stuff up but for what purpose I'm not really sure.
But you do make yourself look ever more the fool the more you make such ridiculous rants.
Well said, Jock – particularly your last sentence.
Pepa, WTF are you going on about? You're clearly homophobic. TROLL. Do you also post under that vile Rich character?
A sloppy line of arguement. Appeal to emotion, appeal to fear, appeal to ridicule. What is the evidence for the claims you have made in this line of arguement?
Which side is it that Jock S Trap is on? How do you know this?
Who advocated for the murder of senior citizens? When? Where?
Who has advocated for the removal of age of consent laws? Who has advocated in favour of paedophilia? When? Where? How?
Until you can give some answers to these questions with verifiable evidence then all your post is is sheer slander
i hope someone tells Senator Ruben Diaz Sr that loving the sinner but hating the sin is not enlightened thinking. it's hateful cowardly homophobic bullying.
The whole point. You cannot claim to love someone or even 'accept' him/her if you attack and denigrate their way of having loving relationships. It is a fundamental denigration of their identity and personality.
Here! Here!
Hear, Hear!
I'm glad for Mz Diaz that she finally broke free of the stockholm syndrome and humiliation implicit in being paraded at an anti gay rally as a poster girl by her granddad demonstrating how "we don't hate gay people but we just don't accept them for who they are".
Time to tell the old coot what she was really thinking.
Lets also tell PN that they forgot to mention that Mr Diaz is a DEMOCRAT.
There are many many many liberal democrats like him and the republicans. Its just that that the DNC protects them and hence why they don't introduce pro-gay legislation in many legislatures (Rhode Island being an example).
Oh, totally relevant, pepa. Thank you.
One Democrats homophobic shock lets see how many republicans are shall we??
His political affiliation makes no difference to his latent homophobia Pepa – stop trying to score political points (in a place where American politics don't matter)
He maintain's he's a christian, odd for someone who judges others. I'd like him to show us where in the new testament Jesus Christ condemned gay people. He can't refer to Leviticus because that's in the old jewish testament as are most of the "damning" references right wing nutters like him use to villify us and justify discrimination. Why doesn't someone challenge him in regard to the old testament quotes. These people claim the scriptures, all of them, are the word of "god", yet none of them actually practice everything what the scriptures preach. They pick and choose which ones to use and discard the rest which would make most of them uncomfortable and very difficult to live by. Hypocritical frauds, all of them.
The pick and choose fallacy is not exclusive to christians, gay sex advocates do the same, they claim to be for tolerance but are in essence the most intolerant individuals I ever came across, they are more dangerous than homophobic christians and more hateful as well.
Why are you here? Whats the point?
Ask his to define "gay sex activists" (which all of us in here are, apparently) – then you'll see what a damaged piece of degeneracy pepa really is.
He's filling in for Rich. They tag team! Say, there's an interesting fantasy – for them anyway. ;-)
His definition of gay sex activist is a hoot …
Demonstrates clearly his instability and if he had any credibility at all, removes any shred of doubt as to his integrity and honour
pepa why don't you go and hang out at NARTH with all the other anti-gay industry nutbags there, spend your cash and treat yourself to some more useless ex-gay therapy.
Yet again, pepa brings nothing to this thread page.
Pepa, what the hell is a gay sex advocate? Seriously, you are so screwed up.
A gay child molester, Eddy. We are all, apparently, gay sex activists on this site. He made the term up, (obviously) but basically we're all paedophiles. Shows where his own mind seen to resort to if he thinks this – seems kiddy-fiddling is something pepa is disturbingly obsessed with.
Yes indeed Will.
It is rather disturbing.
Another sloppy line of arguement. Again, appeals to emotion, fear and ridicule, but what is the evidence for your assertions?
Good on her for saying what is right I feel for what she's had to go through growing up with such hatred from her family
what a disgusting grand farther you have turned out to be and well done to you Ms Diaz we wish you well
When I hear stories like this I'm thankful I have a much more forward thinking family, especially my grandma!
He just doesn't love them enough to listen to them or believe what they say.
Good for her. What a vile bigoted man.
pot meet kettle
LOL coming from you, the BIGGEST hypocrite!!
LOL! You said it Jock…. doesn't give facts, likes calling everyone gay a paedophile when he's loosing an argument, boo-hoo-s when he's insulted, racist attitude, and abuses anyone that doesn't agree with his liberal-gay-lobby-lizard-people conspiracy theory made up by a 5 year old child with ADHD.
He's quite an example of how damaged people can get.
OMG! a lezzer in his own family…the disgrace!
Brilliant, well done Erica.
It's great that Ms Diaz has at last decided to speak out against her vile grandfather.Though I have an issue with her admission that she stayed silent during her adolescence out of 'respect for her father's side of the family'! What's to respect?! Ok,yes of course I can clearly see how as a much younger person she'd feel it impossible to speak out.But I still fail to see how she could respect any member of her 'blood' who'd deny her,possibly abuse and/or ostracise her if they'd known she was lesbian! Still,well done for speaking out now!
It is easy to demand of others what you cannot or could not do yourself.
Usual pepa rhetoric nonsense. YAWN
Yes, Christians always making crosses for other people's backs.
Well it's clearly not something you'll ever do is it pepa?
Your always gonna be in that closet.
clearly, Erica would make a better senator.
Kudos to Erica to publicly stand up to her grandfather like that!!!
Erica Diaz is incredibly brave and daring to speak out. In a sense she is correcting her elder, which is something we must applaud.
Is there a reason for the article to omit his party affiliation – only asking because it appears that he is a DEMOCRAT.
Not what PN readers would expect, perhaps…?
He may be a Democrat, but not exactly of an orthodox background.
uring his swearing-in ceremony, Reverend Díaz conducted the first Pentecostal religious service ever held inside City Hall. The sermon was delivered by Bishop Ephrain Navas González, Superintendent of the Northeastern District of the Church of God.
Rubén Díaz was born 1943 in Puerto Rico, in 1960 joined the U.S. Armed Forces and completed his tour of duty with an honorable discharge in 1963.
Díaz made New York City his home since 1965, obtained a Bachelor's Degree in 1976, and became the Pastor of the Church of God located in the Bronx. He attended the Damascus Bible Institute, graduating with a Theological Degree and, in 1978, became an ordained Minister of the Church of God, whose HQ is in Cleveland, Tennessee.
(more follows)
Elected a state senator in 2001, during his swearing-in ceremony, Díaz conducted the first Pentecostal religious service ever held inside City Hall. The sermon was delivered by Bishop Ephrain Navas González, Superintendent of the Northeastern District of the Church of God.
According to his own website, Senator Rubén Díaz is the proud father of three children: Damaris Díaz Kiely, who is a Sergeant in the New York Police Department; Samuel Díaz, who works for the New York City Housing Authority; and Bronx Borough President Rubén Díaz, Jr. Senator Díaz is also the proud grandfather of six grandchildren. He is happily married to Leslie Yvette Díaz.
Clearly his pride in his grandchildren does not go so far as defending his granddaughter against eviction from the US Navy under Don't Ask, Don't Tell, or doing much else to show his love for her. Not a great advert for the Democrats.
Correction – he was first elected in 2002
what a tosser

ST. GEORGE -- Tom Hannafin took his father's memory with him into the Staten Island Yankees' stadium in St. George last Thursday.
Danny Sheyer took his walker.
Thanks to the generosity of New Springville mustard mogul Marc Gold of Gold's Pure Foods, both young men had an unforgettable time in their initial visit to the ballyard by the ferry.
Hannafin, the soon-to-be 13-year-old son of New York City firefighter Thomas Hannafin of West Brighton, who died on 9/11, came as Gold's guest with his mother Renee, sister Kayla, and friend Andrew to throw out the first pitch before the Yanks took on the Hudson Valley Renegades.
Danny, a 10-year-old wiz kid whose weekly performance on the baseball diamond has transcended his battle against cerebral palsy, came as one of Gold's 40 guests from the Great Kills Little League Challenger Program.
Gold also sent 40 people from A Very Special Place to last Tuesday's Bobblehead Night at Citi Field.
For Gold, it was just his way of giving back.
"It was my pleasure," Gold said.
It was more than a pleasure for Hannafin and Sheyer. A thrill was more like it.
"I'm excited," said Thomas, whose uncle John Hannafin coached the Notre Dame Academy girls' basketball team for 18 years. "I've been practicing my throws. I'm a little nervous."
He needn't have been. The little league second-baseman's throw to third baseman Tyler Austin as the Yankees honored those who died on 9/11 came right down the middle, earning him a hearty handshake and an autograph.
And maybe, a little bit of remembering what his father was all about. Tom was only three, Kayla five, when their father died in the twin towers.
"Their dad was very much a part of their lives," Renee Hannafin-Marino said. "Ten years doesn't make it better, but you adjust."
"I take him everywhere I go," 15-year-old Kayla said, wiping away the tears.
Tom has his own connection, through his rooting interests. Despite barely knowing his father, he cheers for all the teams his father did — the Yanks, Cowboys, Celtics, and Rangers.
"It must be inherited," Renee said.
Sheyer also roots for the Yankees — hard. His goal is to meet Derek Jeter one day at the big ballyard in the Bronx. But last week, he was delighted to see the up-and-comers for the first time and sample the bottomless concessions Gold provided with the seats up the right field line.
"I had a chicken sandwich and my sister (Darya) had a hot dog," Sheyer said. "I like this a lot. First, I like the food. Then, the view. And watching the game. And then the food again!"
Sheyer is one of the top players in the Challenger Program, a Sunday league that has been running the past eight years for handicapped youngsters. Program director Susan Adone said that despite his need for a walker — league is trying to get him a less-cumbersome sports walker — he flies around the field at breakneck speed.
"Things like this are great," said Ms. Adone, who gets a huge assist from her husband Doc running the program. "It brings the kids together. It makes them feel like part of a team. Look, a lot of them are up getting their own food. It gives them a feeling of independence.
"I think they're having a better time than anyone else here."
A good time was had by all.

An RTA bus and a Lusher Charter School bus were involved in an accident on the eastbound Crescent City Connection around 7:30 a.m. Thursday, according to CCC police. Lusher principal Wiley Ates said that to the best of his knowledge, the only person transported to the hospital by ambulance was the driver of the school bus. The driver's condition is unknown at this time.
Lusher parent Bernell Nevil wrote in a statement that the driver sustained a back and neck injury, but that "the kids for the most part are fine, with the exception of a few who complained of shoulder and back pain."
Ates said that the Lusher bus was rear-ended by the RTA bus, but that the school bus was "not severely damaged." The left lane of the bridge was closed for a short while before being reopened.
Ates said that some parents went to the scene to pick up their children, and that a new driver was sent to replace the injured driver. As of 9:30 a.m., Ates was still waiting for the bus involved in the accident to arrive, which he expected at any minute.
Nevil stated that several passengers on the RTA bus complained of injuries, and that "the kids who complained of injuries on our bus will be evaluated by the school nurse when they arrive at school."

Hi Pat, The RX366 is a replacement for the existing sub-rx, giving more features/functions/better receiver specs, making the main and sub at the same performance level now. Along with a built in sub-rx preamp and attenuator and slots for 3 roofing filters for the sub-rx. Whereas it doesn't provide line level outputs for listening or computer interfacing, it does have a 9MHz IF output connector on it in case someone wanted to run a panadapter from their sub-receiver.

The following is a letter to the editor that was sent to the Kalamazoo Gazette.
Stephanie Tomczak, Kalamazoo
I recently became aware of a government program called 340B which was designed to assist not-forprofit hospitals and some clinics that receive federal grants to provide life-saving prescription drugs to those who could not afford them.
While many entities are using the program as intended, others are gaming the program and actually making a profit from it, with little evidence that the poor are benefiting.
Fortunately our congressman, Fred Upton, has had a long commitment to good government oversight and rooting out such abuse.
I urge him to add 340B to his list of concerns and shed some light on this program.
We need to make sure that the truly needy are being helped.

Underwater photography is the process of taking photographs while underwater. The art of underwater photography is in vent since 18th century. Divers go to the depths of sea and capture the most uncommon scenes on the earth. Underwater photography is generally done with good skills of scuba diving and advanced photography techniques and instruments.
It includes photography of fish and other marine animals. These pictures are showing some of those unique and vivaciously amazing scenes.The pictures of different species of fish, octopus, sea lions, and underwater sculpture parks are showing the rarest scenes in underwater world.
The primary hurdle in the underwater photography is the loss of color and brightness after reaching to a certain depth. Underwater photography has made people reach to those species and beauty of underwater to which they were unknown.

Members of the Rahway High School chapter of the Science National Honor Society held a demo event recently to prepare for Science Challenges they will be performing during lunch periods during the week of April 7. They have prepared scientific demonstrations to answer these questions:
Who will make the best nail design?
Who will make the biggest bubble?
How do you make ice cream in a plastic bag?
What poprocks blow up the largest balloon?
The week is designed both for fun and to help others learn about science also. Winners among the student body will receive a prize.
The nail design demonstration is based on water marbling. Nail polish is dropped in water. Since it is a non-polar substance, it will separate from the water, a polar compound. Since nail polish has a lower density, it will float on the water. Participants will use toothpicks to marble the floating polish. Their fingers will be taped, exposing only the nail, which is then inserted in the water with the polish floating over the nail. Then the tape is removed as the nail polish dries.
This is a new chapter of the Science National Honor Society. Members also plan to engage in community service later this spring by participating in the Rahway River cleanup. The club advisors, Ms. Janet Tuohy, a chemistry teacher and Ms. Reba Ducore, a biology teacher have been excited by their students' enthusiasm.
Rahway High School, http://www.edline.net/pages/Rahway_High_School , is a culturally diverse, comprehensive high school where excellence is expected, achieved, and celebrated in the classroom, on the field, and in the arts.
