Presumably one of Tristan de Luna's ships from the expedition to Florida in 1559. Seven ships were lost then at Pensacola Bay during a storm on the 19th of September. The Emanuel Point Shipwreck was found in 1992 by the Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research and excavated between 1993 and 1996 under the direction of Dr. Roger Smith.
Field Work
About forty percent of the entire hull was uncovered for interpretation during two intense campaigns. The study of those timbers has not yet been completed. A final report with additional information is being prepared for publication. At this stage, only the ends of the hull have been studied, so the framing plan and other central details remain unknown. All frames in evidence were canted. The hull was not uncovered far enough aft to reveal square frames. Among the finds were filling pieces between frames, two port covers, a stemson, footwales, an anchor, a rudder and rudder hardware, and a cross-bow. The hull was sheathed in lead. 1
Description of the Site
The ballast mound measured 16 x 8 m and covered only part of the extensive remains of a ship, which were scattered over an area of around 30 x 10 m.
Keel, keelson, maststep and posts
Keel estimated to have been 23.6 m long, is 22 cm sided amidships, and seems to taper in its sided dimension from 28 cm on the bow to 20 cm at the stern. At the bow, where it was measured, it was found to be 29 cm molded. There is no knee (couce) linking the keel with the sternposti nor it appears to be a skeg. The keelson has en estimated length of 19.2 m and is 34 cm sided amidships tapering in both directions, being 22 cm at the bow and stern. It starts with a scarf on the stemson, and ends against the first Y-frame, the 10th from the stempost. The maststep is an enlarged portion of the keelson 2.1 m long, 49 cm sided and 39 cm molded, with a 94 cm long mortise, 22 cm sided and 20 cm deep. There were 4 buttresses on each side of the maststep. Two sections of the sternpost were preserved as well as a small portion of the stem. The sternpost is 25 cm sided and 35 cm molded and rakes 60º aft. The stem presents a vertical flat scarf linking its lowermost section to the keel. It is 30 cm sided and 31 molded in the lower preserved section, and 28 cm sided and 28 cm molded in the upper one, indicating that it tapers upwards. It is not known if the stem curve is tangent to the keel at its lower end or if it starts at an angle.
Since the wreck was not fully excavated many questions remain unanswered about its framing details. The (only) midship floor is fastened to two pairs of futtocks, fore and aft, determining the framing pattern – the futtocks joined to the faces of the floors that look to the extremities of the ship. It is placed exactly below the forward end of the mortise of the maststep. The floors were fastened to the first futtocks with dovetail joints. Where it could be observed there was at least one treenail driven horizontally and the ends of the floors were recessed to allow nailing. Floors were 18-20 cm sided and 18 cm molded at the ends. It is mentioned on the 1993 report that the floors were 25 cm molded over the keel, but since these molded dimensions should vary I think that it only refers to the floors observed amidships. Room and space was 36-38 cm. First futtocks were placed c. 65 cm from the center of the keel and are 18-20 cm sided and 19 cm molded. At the stern eleven frames were recorded. Of these the last ten were Y-frames, meaning that the keelson ends over the eleventh floor from the sternpost. The last seven sit on the stern knee. They were 10 to 30 cm sided, raked slightly aft except one, and had different molded dimensions over the keel – as it was to be expected. Room and space varies between 32 and 44 cm. At the bow all lower frames cant slightly forward.
The planking was 7.5 cm thick. The garboard was 28.5 cm wide at the bottom of the pump well. It was fastened with nails and treenails.
Ceiling, Thick Stuff and Wales
Four strakes of ceiling run between the keelson and one footwale. They are 5-7 cm thick and 31-34 cm wide. The footwale is 18.5 cm sided and 15-16 cm molded. Filling pieces were placed between frames at the bow.
Iron nails and spikes of seven different types. Treenails 26-31 cm. Bolts 2.7 cm and 28.6 to 44 cm. Sheathing tacks have shanks 4-5.5 mm square and heads 2-2.4 cm in diameter, and were spaced 3-7 cm.
Lead sheathing of the seams with 1-3 mm thick, 6 to 21 wide and 7-75 cm long may covered the whole hull. All the diagnostic pieces (a chosen sample of 35 pieces) have distinct rows of tack holes, most of them 3, on the edges and in the center, the tacks being driven into the seam. They were used to cover the seams and hoods where they joined the stem and sternposts. Some bear the marks of a fabric.
Is consistent with the Caribbean basin or the Mediterranean region. Waits for further analysis.
Size and Scantlings
The estimated length of keel is 23.6 m, for an estimated overall length of 34.6 m, a beam of 9.48 m, and a depth in hold of 4.55 m. These values lead to an estimated capacity of 418-441 tons.

Plenty of terrible-looking websites exist. Generally, though, those websites are designed by and for idiots, so most of us will never have to come across them.
Every once in a while, however, a website for a famous, successful actor (or popular film, or service), will show up, and even though the subject is worth lots of money and has a whole team of people to worry about its image, the website is shockingly terrible. Like, '90s terrible.
When that happens, I will always be there.
Bryan Cranston (Walt from Breaking Bad, Hal from Malcolm in the Middle), is probably the greatest actor on television right now (he's certainly my favorite). He won three straight Emmy awards for his work on Breaking Bad, was nominated for three for Malcolm and has over 100 acting credits to his name. He's equally competent in drama and comedy and, if you've ever seen him on Celebrity Poker Showdown you'd have to agree that he just seems like a genuinely fun guy to hang out with.
And of all of the infinite combinations of graphics, text and code available in the world, there is only one that seems to scream (helpfully and politely), "Hello! My name is Bryan and I am an actor on your television; thanks for looking at my website!"
"Feel free to click around and look at things!"
I don't even think this is a terrible website. I first saw it linked on Patrick Cassels' blog, and he described it as "adorably uncool," which is absolutely the best label for this site. It's neatly organized, the fonts are unspectacular and none of these things are bad; they're just silly, and totally endearing. It's like he's channeling his character from Malcolm in the Middle. A well-meaning but slightly behind-the-times working man made this website to say, "Hi and thumbs up!" to all his friends. This is the website that everyone's dad would make.
"Come on in, I was just about to throw on some burgers. Haha, I'm just kidding, I know you can't get burgers from a website. Hi, I'm Bryan!"
It's just all so damn goofy and cute. Almost everything about this site is designed to be helpful and comforting, just so no one gets confused ("You need Quicktime to view this clip. It's free. Click this link to get it!"), and even his bio has a classic Dad-Joke vibe.
"Try to forget, am I right? Ah, I have fun here."
I worry about anyone unfamiliar with Bryan Cranston's work finding this site and thinking. "Gee, what a sweet and wacky guy this fella is! I can't wait to check out this Breaking Bad show for more of his silly antics!"
"Lots of my characters are different. I hope you like movies!"
The Highlight:
You're the best actor on television and I really want to meet you someday.
Unlike Walter White's Fantastical Playground of Colors, the official website for the Yale School of Art doesn't get a pass from me, because it has none of the lovable earnestness of Cranston's site.
"To Hell with your eyes, I'm Yale, Goddammit!"
It's bright, cluttered, the colors clash and most of the important information (for example, the address of the school), are almost impossible to read. It looks like a late '90s Angelfire site and one of the Muppet Babies had a child and then let a Highlighter pee on it. It feels like your nephew's first website, except it's an official website for Yale University's art school. Yale University!
What is this doing here?
Maybe I shouldn't include this one, because it's related to art, and having any association with art is unfortunate shorthand for "I can do whatever I want and it doesn't have to make sense." According to the About page, the site is constantly changing because "every graduate student, staff person and faculty member of the School can change this website's content or add to it at any time." It's like an ongoing art project that college kids can screw with, which might explain the distinct "screwed with by college students" vibe of the site. I should have let this site slide because of that simple fact, but for some reason I wasn't thinking clearly when I read the About page.
Oh, right. The background is an image of a TMNT pizza repeated, forever.
Whenever I try to remind myself "It's just artists being artists; let them do their thing," I look up at the address and remember that it contains "yale.edu," and I lose all sympathy. The address to the website I work for contains the word "Crack," but even I wouldn't let that kind of shoddy design work fly, because I don't want to embarrass myself in case my fourth-grade art teacher is reading this.
You're Yale for Christ's sake!
The Highlight:
This gif, repeated to infinity, is the background to the "Recent Changes" page:
I know exactly how you feel, Miserable Lady and Disembodied Hand.

- Abstract
- A 26-kDa protein (OMP26) isolated and purified from nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHI) strain 289 has been shown to enhance clearance of infection following pulmonary challenge with NTHI in rats. DNA sequence analysis revealed that it was 99% identical to a gene encoding a cell envelope protein of the H. influenzae Rd strain (TIGR accession no. HI0916). The deduced amino acid sequence revealed a hydrophilic polypeptide rich in basic amino acids. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis suggested that the OMP26 gene was relatively conserved among isolates of NTHI. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence of the OMP26 gene from 20 different isolates showed that similarity with NTHI-289 ranged from 96.5% (1 isolate) to 99.5% (14 isolates). Two recombinant forms of OMP26, a full length 28-kDa protein (equivalent to preprotein) and a 26-kDa protein lacking a 23-amino-acid leader peptide (equivalent to processed protein), were assessed in immunization studies for the ability to induce an immune response that would be as effective as the native protein in enhancing the clearance of NTHI following pulmonary challenge in rats. Immunization with the recombinant protein that included the leader peptide was more effective in enhancing pulmonary clearance, and it induced a better cell-mediated response and higher titers of systemic and mucosal antibody. This study has characterized a 26-kDa protein from NTHI that shows significant potential as a vaccine candidate.

Top 10 Celebrity Blondes
Admit it, ladies - you've thought about going blonde (if you haven't already). There's something about golden colored locks that's striking and sexy. Even stars such as Rihanna and Olivia Wilde have eschewed their brown hair for lighter tones.
There are several ladies who are naturally towheaded (or nearly so), that we want to salute on our list of "Top 10 Celebrity Blondes."
"Gossip Girl" star Blake Lively is on our list for her gorgeous wavy locks, which she alternates between pinning up in braids to trailing down over her shoulders. In the photo above she even looks like old-time screen siren Veronica Lake.
Other blondies on our list include actress Reese Witherspoon, model Bar Refaeli, and singer Taylor Swift. Check 'em out...

Our home place is about 1,400 acres, but we run on up to 6,000 acres of rolling hills, trees, creeks, and rocky hillsides. It's beautiful country.
Since 1998, we've invited folks to share our life on the ranch. We have a number of cabins in which you can stay. Home-cooked meals are served family-style at our table or outside at the picnic table around the fire. We are not a "dude ranch" and there are no "put ons" here. Our ranch family simply shares our daily experiences with our visitors.
Guests experience a true day in the life of a working cowboy. Guests may awake at sunrise to the sound of the roosters crowing and join the family in the morning chores. After a hearty breakfast, you can help saddle up the horses.
The rest of the day may include riding ranch horses through the longhorn herd, herding the longhorns to new pasture, riding over the prairie while monitoring for wildlife, learning to rope a calf, or even branding the longhorns with a hot branding iron. After supper, the evening may be spent relaxing by a fire and watching the embers fade or enjoying the stars and the quiet stillness of the prairie.
Learn more about our Ranch Experience!
Cattle Drives are exciting events. Two day Cattle Drives are available when we are moving the longhorns in July and September. The herd is driven eleven miles to new pasture across an open expanse of rolling prairie. The next day, ranch horses are ridden back to the ranch.
Three day Cattle Drives are offered in April and October. The distance traveled on these drives is about 30-35 miles. On all these drives, camp is set up with a chuck-wagon and cowboy teepees.
Sleeping arrangements for the night are in bed rolls either under the stars or in cowboy teepees.
Check our events calendar for special events, or contact us anytime to arrange a visit to the Moore Ranch.

It's called "Forgotten Inheritance" and now, the giant wall art piece is literally out of sight.
Draped in a black cloth, it is hidden from view because a native Hawaiian descendant of the area found a depiction of bones in the sand--- offensive.
"It is a significant sign of disrespect to leave them exposed like that," said attorney Moses Haia.
The Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation represents Paulette Kaleikini, a recognized descendant of the area. She complained about the insensitivity when the the concrete bronze and plaster work by Hans Ladislaus was first displayed in 1997.
Now a more than a decade and a half later, the Hawaii Tourism Authority is deferring to those concerns.
"It is a depiction that represents that is it accepted and that it is artful and tasteful, but based on our clients cultural practices, it is anything but that," said Haia.
This flap comes in the middle of the 12th annual Native Hawaiian Convention. It was Wednesday night that a group gathered for a blessing before they covered up the art piece.
Among those attending the convention, Representative Faye Hanohano, who earlier this year was embroiled in an artwork controversy of her own.
The native Hawaiian lawmaker had art of non-native artists removed from her office.
But Hanohano was surprised to learn of this latest controversy.
When asked what you say to the artist, who probably did not mean any disrespect, Hanohano replied,
"I would say what the problem is. I would ask for his input and let him know that we have a process to make it correct. Maybe he could talk to the families and see how he could they could work it out."
HTA Head Mike McCartney said he is working with the State Foundation on culture and the arts to replace the artwork.
He released a statement saying: "It is important to honor and perpetuate our host culture and we are looking to include more pieces by native Hawaiians."
But the foundation said the work is permanently mounted and removing it without structural work on the convention center, would destroy it.
It also added, "...under the federal Visual Artists Rights Act, the state foundation cannot alter or cover part of all of the work, without the artist permission."
The art piece cost $56,000.
Artist Hans Ladislaus could not be reached for comment.
Kaleikini said it was her understandingthat Ladislaus gave his permission for the piece to be covered up until it could be removed to be display at another location.

Tamoxifen (trade name: Nolvadex) is synthetic, non-steroidal drug with antiestrogen action. It works on the principle of competitive binding to estrogen receptors within the tumor cells. It results in inhibition of the synthesis and release of growth factors, as well as progesterone receptors stimulates the formation. This mechanism leads to inhibition of cell division of the large number of tumor estrogen receptors. Under the influence of tamoxifen for the additional increase in the concentration of specific binding globulin sex hormones, leading to a reduction in the concentration of free estradiol in plasma. The result is an increase in the secretion of FSH from the anterior pituitary gland that stimulates the ovaries to produce estrogen in premenopausal. It is believed that the transforming factor induces the release of TGF-β, further enhancing the antitumor effect of the drug. Treatment corresponds to approximately 34% of women with breast cancer at an advanced stage. Tamoxifen is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. High concentration of drug in the blood occurs in 4-7 h after administration. In 99% bound to plasma proteins. t1/2 is 7-14 days. Tamoxifen is metabolized in the liver. Its main metabolite N-demetylotamoksyfen shows similar activity to tamoxifen. 65% of the drug is excreted as metabolites in the faeces.
Tamoxifen mode of action
Competitively inhibits the binding of hormone estrogen receptors in the cytoplasm, resulting in limited cell division of estrogen-dependent tissues. In metastatic breast cancer the complete or partial remission, especially in soft tissue metastases and bone, occurs in about 50-60% of cases, if the tumor tissue are estrogen receptors, and only about 10% of the cases, the absence of these receptors. Tumors in women with estrogen receptor positive or unknown tumors receptor status, adjuvant therapy have received tamoxifen, there was a significantly fewer relapses and increased the percentage of 10-year survival. Tamoxifen is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The maximum serum concentration is achieved 4-7 hours after oral administration. It is extensively metabolized. Tamoxifen and its transformation products accumulate in the liver, lungs, brain, pancreas, skin and bones. Tamoxifen is excreted mainly in the faeces in the form of various metabolites.
The main tamoxifen goal is treatment of breast cancer in pre and after menopausal women. Tamoxifen is the drug of choice in patients who underwent radical surgery after 60 years of age, diagnosed with lymph node metastasis. In premenopausal women, tamoxifen may be an alternative oophorectomy or ovarian irradiation. Also used to reduce the risk of breast cancer in women with breast cancer in situ after surgery and radiotherapy or belonging to groups at high risk. It can also be used (according to some authors) in the induction of ovulation, the treatment of mastalgia and mastitis.
The fact that tamoxifen is used to treat breast cancer have also been mentioned by bodybuilders, especially in a situation when bodybuilder is affected by gynecomastia. Operation in this case, by blocking the estrogen receptors in the vicinity of the breast and thus subject to aromatization of androgen excess does not adversely affect the area of the body.
Hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation. Consider the benefit-risk ratio in patients with thromboembolic disease in an interview. Caution in patients with leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, must be monitored periodically blood counts.
Tamoxifen enhances the effects of oral anticoagulants of the coumarin group. Concomitant therapy with other hormones diminish the effects of tamoxifen. The use of tamoxifen with cytotoxic agents may increase the risk of thromboembolic complications. Co-administration of mitomycin C increases the risk of thrombocytopenia, anemia, and renal failure. In combination with bromocriptine increased plasma concentrations of tamoxifen and its metabolites.
Side effects
Are relatively rare. Reducing the dose can frequently continue treatment. The most common side effects include vasomotor symptoms associated with estrogen deficiency: flushing, hot flashes; rash, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, menstrual disorders, vaginal bleeding, vaginal discharge, severity of pain in cancer lesions and bone pain.

A Year-Round Fishery: Bass, shad, walleye, stripers, perch, eels
The Delaware boasts a variety of habitats that help nurture one of the most diverse year-round fisheries in the country. Many do not realize that the border waters of Pennsylvania and New York remain open for catch and release fishing year-round.
The upper reaches are known for some of the best trout fishing in the East—large, wild brown and rainbow trout are as abundant in the cold waters as are the aquatic insects on which they feed, luring fly fishermen from across the country. They wade or float the river in droves, especially in the spring when the famous "Hendrickson" mayflies are hatching, bringing even the biggest of trout to the surface to feed.
While spring is the best known trout season, the cold waters coming from the reservoirs keep the river water temperatures cold throughout the summer months, yielding one of the few trout streams in the East fishable even on the hottest of days. At times on the West Branch during the Sulphur hatch at Stilesville, you will see fly fishermen in 90-degree weather enter the fog-shrouded 40-degree river merely to jump back out after half an hour, mind-numbingly cold.
Downriver as the water warms, fishermen seek out smallmouth bass water. "Smallies" were the predominant fish in the river prior to the creation of the Cannonsville and Pepacton reservoirs. While the river may not boast some of the larger examples of the species (five-plus pounds), it makes up for this in the sheer population of bronzebacks down to Delaware Bay.
Smallmouth are found in abundance in shallow rocky areas adjacent to deeper pools. Tenacious fighters and tasty on the plate, fishermen up and down the river target these aggressive predators both with flies and conventional fishing gear. Omnivorous, they love crawfish, hellgrammites, baitfish—virtually anything that moves, making them one of the more cooperative fish when it comes to taking a lure or fly.
Anadromous fish (born in freshwater, migrating to the sea and returning to their birthplace to spawn) such as shad have been staples of human consumption for ages. Every spring, these fish migrate from the ocean far up the Delaware to procreate, giving fishermen along the way ample opportunity to catch these feisty forktails. Shad start their migration in Delaware Bay typically in late March, moving hundreds of miles upstream as far as river flow will allow. Shad roe is considered a delicacy by many, and there are "Shad Bakes" along the lower sections of the river, some with over a century of history behind them.
Walleye are a highly sought-after species in the Delaware, boasting some of the best tasting, sweetest meat of any fish. They dwell in slow, deep pools and in the eddies behind submerged boulders, feeding primarily on baitfish and aquatic insects. This makes them perfect quarry for those who love to bait a hook and sit quietly on shore or in a boat. Since they are a schooling fish, one good "honey hole" can yield a great night's fish fry. The other attraction for walleye fishing is that while there may be an established "keep" season, it is a year-round fishery, with the fish being active even in the winter months.
Famed for both their flesh and fight, striped bass are best known as an ocean fish, sought and caught off the shores and bays of the Atlantic. What is not common knowledge is that they are able to survive in conditions of fresh, salt and brackish water, and will readily follow bait and other food sources (like our above mentioned shad) well up into the fresh waters of the Delaware.
While they typically are landed by anglers on the lowest stretches of the river, closest to the Delaware Bay, stripers have been caught as far north as Hancock, NY, where they find the local rainbow trout an excellent delicacy. Collecting in the larger pools and moving in schools, they quickly become the apex predator in any section of river they find themselves patrolling.
There are plenty of others species found in the river, each with its own allure. Bluegill, yellow perch, crappie and other panfish are popular with the novice angler, as they are usually the first thing to grab our worm-wrapped hook as a youngster, and are prevalent up and down the river. Muskellunge, a.k.a. muskies, lurk in the slower back eddies and side channels, waiting for unsuspecting quarry to swim by. Large, ferocious and toothy, this "fish of a thousand casts" is notoriously hard to catch, and this challenge appeals to many experienced anglers.
No matter what stretch anglers find themselves on, the entirety of the Delaware River is an amazing year-round fishery, and they will without doubt find a place to wet a line, as well as a species to target while there.

Norwich offers battlefields course
NORTHFIELD Norwich Universitys College of Graduate and Continuing Studies will host a summer course that brings participants to the Vermont and New York battlefields of the Revolutionary War.
The Staff Ride, led by expert faculty, begins with three weeks of online studies Aug. 26 and culminates with a six-day guided tour of battlefields in the Champlain Valley.
Hosted by Norwichs Master of Arts in American history and Master of Arts in military history programs, professor John Grenier will lead discussions through Norwichs online learning environment based on texts about fighting in the area.
Academic study will be followed by an intensive six-day visit to Rogers Island, Lake George Battlefield, Fort William Henry, Crown Point and Fort Ticonderoga, including participation in Fort Ticonderogas seminar on the American Revolution.
Norwich Universitys Staff Rides give lifelong learners from varying backgrounds a greater understanding of and appreciation for historical military events by visiting the actual battlefields. The course will explore specific battles and the decisions commanders made on the field, and then draw conclusions that can be applied in present and future contexts.
This class is not offered for academic credit and is open to all. Space is limited, and the registration deadline is Aug. 1.

Beginning of the End, Parts One and Two
"Grimm" is a drama series inspired by the classic Grimm Brothers' Fairy Tales. After Portland homicide detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) discovers he's descended from an elite line of criminal profilers known as "Grimms," he increasingly finds his responsibilities as a detective at odds with his new responsibilities as a Grimm.
In the wake of his mother's beheading and Juliette's (Bitsie Tulloch) "death," things have never been more chaotic for Nick. Having lost so much, Nick must dig deep and decide what type of person he wants to be, while also coming to grips with fathering a child with his once sworn enemy, Adalind (Claire Coffee).
On top of all this, crime in Portland continues to rise, with even more dangerous Wesen coming out of the shadows and making their way to the great Northwest. A Wesen uprising is on the horizon and everyone will need to be prepared.
"Grimm" also stars Russell Hornsby, Silas Weir Mitchell, Sasha Roiz, Reggie Lee and Bree Turner.
"Grimm" is a Universal Television and Hazy Mills production. The series was created by David Greenwalt & Jim Kouf and Stephen Carpenter. Sean Hayes, Todd Milliner ("Crowded," "Hot in Cleveland") and Norberto Barba ("The Bridge") serve as executive producers along with Greenwalt and Kouf.

You're F@#king Out!
As a baseball fan, I also enjoy fictitious treatments of the subject. Although I somehow never saw The Natural until a couple years ago, I still got a lump in my throat when Roy Hobbs hammered the ball into the lights at the end. Kevin Costner may have gotten lost way out in left field when he made The Postman but Field of Dreams and Bull Durham almost make up for it.
The only real problem is that I can't really identify with those guys. Sure, Field of Dreams is set in the heartland, not so far from where I grew up. But the chances of me ever owning a farm are pretty slim and there's quite a bit of difference between that big house and my little apartment.
I guess that if I had to choose one character from a baseball story with whom I most identify, it would be someone a little more vulgar, someone who's on the edge and sometimes goes over. There's only one character I can think of who fits this description: Kenny Powers.
So, you can imagine how excited I was to see this:
The first season of Eastbound and Down was beyond hilarious and rumor has it that the second season will find Kenny making his way through the Mexican baseball leagues. The possibilities for wildly inappropriate racial and spicy food based humor are simply staggering. Remember, this is the guy who says, "Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is I'm not. I honestly
just feel that America is the best country and all the other countries
aren't as good. That used to be called 'patriotism'."
September can't get here soon enough.

youre the first person to relay this info to me. so pumped! the first season was my roommates and mine cure for hangovers. so many good quotes
I still haven't seen The Natural……
*awkward silence*
I haven't seen Field of Dreams either.
or Bill Durham
i really need to get around to watching these😀
There are quite a few baseball movies in the pipeline, which I find very heartening. Just read that Bradley Cooper of "The Hangover" is making a movie about a washed up ballplayer trying to get back into the bigs.

Snyder speaks on campus at Grand Valley Metro Council event
Posted on June 06, 2014
Gov. Rick Snyder recognized Grand Valley's impact on the economic development of the region during a visit to the Seidman Center June 6. Snyder visited the campus to speak to West Michigan business leaders at an event hosted by the Grand Valley Metro Council.
Snyder was introduced by President Thomas J. Haas, who told the meeting attendees about Grand Valley's impact on the local and regional economy and how Grand Valley's more than 100,000 graduates are contributing to a 'brain gain' in the state of Michigan.
The governor smiled when he said that he hoped he was counted among Grand Valley alumni thanks to the honorary degree he was awarded by the university in 2013. He also said he was impressed by the Seidman Center.
Snyder stressed the importance of public and private partnerships throughout the state and in West Michigan, and discussed efforts by the state to simplify and organize government operations. He also emphasized the need to attract and retain top talent for Michigan's economy to continue to improve.

Larimer County is named after General William Larimer, 1809-1875. He was an early settler of Denver and the county was named after him as a 'thank you'. The Territorial legislature of Colorado named Larimer a county in 1861.
Larimer County is located in north central Colorado. It is the sixth largest county in Colorado based on population. The county extends to the Continental Divide and includes several mountain communities and Rocky Mountain National Park. The County encompasses 2,640 square miles that include some of the finest irrigated farmland in the state, as well as vast stretches of scenic ranch lands, forests and high mountain peaks. Over 50% of Larimer County is publicly owned, most of which is land within Roosevelt National Forest and Rocky Mountain National Park. In addition to these federal lands, Colorado State Parks and Recreation, and Larimer County Parks and Open Spaces combine to provide a wide spectrum of recreational opportunities that are enjoyed by both residents and visitors.
Major attractions in the area include the Poudre River Canyon, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado State University, and The Ranch – Larimer County's Fairgrounds and Events Complex.
2013 estimate for 2014 – 316,000
The 2015 Larimer County Community Report summarizes how you benefit, directly and indirectly, from the services Larimer County provides as well as how Larimer County measures the performance of some of those services.
On July 13, 2014, Larimer County received a 2014 'Superior' Award of Excellence for the 2013 Community Report from NACIO, the National Association of County Information Officers.

Bringing an Open Kitchen Down to Size
Set in idyllic and magnificent Marin County, California, this 75-foot-long lap pool, designed by landscape architect Bernard Trainor is stunning against the native grassland. A concrete and stone walkway leads down to the gleaming expanse, accented with coyote bush, needle grass, and rosemary, to enhance the land's natural beauty.
Landscape designer Anthony Extercreated a charming garden to compliment a Spanish-style home in Hollywood Hills. Incorporating simple concrete and stucco to create the walls of the pool and the stepping stones, and lush Mediterranean plants, this well-manicured oasis sends us straight to Europe.

|1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.
I searched several threads for this information but found naught. I also want to know this from a rules' perpective, not "ask your GM" (when I play) or "do as you want" when I'm the GM.
I looked through the Metamagic Rods section and compiled the following information (relative to the spell level increase of the corresponding metamagic feat):
Rod +0 cost 5500 (half of +1)
Rod +1 cost 11000
Rod +2 cost 32500 (+21500)
Rod +3 cost 54000 (+21500)
Rod +4 cost 75500 (+21500)
Greater rods follow the same logic with steps worth 48500.
Additionally, these simple formulas allow us to compute prices for metamagic rods whose feat's level increase is greater than +4.
However, the Lesser rod prices seem wonky:
Lesser +0 cost 1500 (half of +1)
Lesser +1 cost 3000
Lesser +2 cost 9000 (+6000)
Lesser +3 cost 14000 (+5000)
Lesser +4 cost 35000 (+21000)
While I can infer a formula from these values, it's quite complicated when compared to the prices for regular and greater metamagic rods (and the corresponding graph diverges quite rapidly, too).
Is there a typo somewhere ? What should the formula be ?
|Louis IX
A lot of magic items are listed as if there was no formula behind their price while there actually is. See all stat-boosting and skill-boosting items for examples: they all obey the rules in "magic item creation".
All spellcasting staves also follow rules (which aren't given in the rules but are easy to find).
Infering a formula from regular and greater rods is easy. I just wondered if there was one behind the lesser ones too, or if it was just arbitrary numbers.
|ryric RPG Superstar 2011 Top 32
What is your goal here? All existing metamagic feats are in the +0-4 level range, so if you are making a custom rod just match it up.
Are you making a rod for some +5 metamagic feat (either homebrew or from some 3pp source?) Are you hoping to combine multiple feats into one big rod of say, Quicken Empower (+6 levels)? Why do you need an "official formula?" If we knew what exactly you were trying to do we might be better equipped to help you.
It does seem odd to want an official formula to create an entirely unofficial item.
While I can infer a formula from these values, it's quite complicated when compared to the prices for regular and greater metamagic rods (and the corresponding graph diverges quite rapidly, too).
Is there a typo somewhere ? What should the formula be ?
LOL, the meaningful text from the PRD:
Rod costs are difficult to determine.
So that basically means, "good luck with that". You're basically going to have to eyeball it and test it.

I loved some things about prom when I was a principal early in my career.
I loved seeing how hard juniors and their teacher sponsors worked to transform a plain banquet hall into a magical, glittering place.
I loved watching the limos pull up, full of students so excited about a night they'd been looking forward to for years.
I loved seeing the boys decked out in their tuxes and the girls in fairy-tale gowns.
I would like to share some ideas for Lancaster County Council members to consider. The biggest problem facing the county is the lack of jobs. Lancaster continues to be at the top of the list for unemployment. There are some things council can do to become an attractive place for a business to open or relocate.
It is Sunshine Week. No, don't break out the SPF 70 sunscreen...this week is about shining light on government activities.
Lest we forget, letting the sun shine on government actions and records is vital to our free democratic system of government.
While efforts to improve government transparency in our Legislature have stalled for the last two years, there are those in the Palmetto State still fighting the good fight for more sunshine.
First let's recognize the journalists.
S.C. Press Association
The S.C. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) makes records and meetings of public bodies open and available to citizens and their representatives in the press.
As a citizen of South Carolina, you have the right to attend meetings of commissions, councils, boards and other public bodies. You have a right to see and copy records of public bodies. The FOIA – also known as the Sunshine Law because it shines light on government meetings and records – is essential to our democratic form of government.
Who, what is covered?
It happens in every county, every small town and every school district. It happens at the state level and at the federal level.
"Watchdogs" monitor the actions of government. They attend meetings. They write letters. They ask the tough questions. They request public records under the Freedom of Information Act. Sometimes, they sound the alarm when they believe tax dollars have been wasted or politicians have misused their power.
You may have seen them sleeping in abandoned homes or warehouses. Some have been spotted in tents in Lancaster County's woods or fields. But no one is sure how many are living out there.
A group that calls themselves the Lancaster County Homelessness Task Force hopes to shed some light on the population with a count in Lancaster County.
As we begin ramping up for another election cycle, I hope our local and regional news editors will ensure that our community is informed on the changing characteristics of national and regional government.
Since most of us made our youthful visit to the voting booth, there has been a tremendous change in the dynamics of elected public service.
A few months ago, some of my colleagues and I were discussing a bill recently introduced in the General Assembly, and someone remarked: "Wonder what the founders would think of that" The more we thought about it, the more it seemed like an entirely relevant question to ask of any bill.
Romans 3:9-31 clearly identifies the problem all men face and God's solution to it. The universal problem of all men is that we all are sinners who have fallen short of the glory of God.
No mere human being has lived a sinless life; in thought, word, and deed, every person has sinned. We have sinned in our understanding, and with our bodies.
No matter what standard of right living we accept or adopt, none of us has perfectly lived up to that standard. In God's eyes, all the world is guilty of sin.
An important deadline is approaching for Lancaster County taxpayers – the closing of the county's 2013 tax books, which takes place on March 17.
This is an important step in the annual fiscal budgeting process for Lancaster County government, as it allows those who serve on County Council, the school board and town and city councils to determine how much tax revenue they will have to work with as they work to finish their 2014-15 budgets.

Love this! I was needing a cute hair style to travel today! Perfect! Thank you!

Very cute! I just started following your blog and have loved looking back over your previous posts!
Have a blessed week!

I'm blown away by how much lift you get from teasing your hair. Mine doesn't do that at all, even with a root lifter!

What is the difference between professional bobby pins and regular bobby pins? I love your blog!

Hi Kate! I, too, recently discovered your blog, and am soooo in love! You are the cutest thing ever. 🙂
About your bobby pins–I have watched several of your tutorials this weekend. I was just wondering–why do you use black? Is that the only color that Diane makes?
And if I ever come to NC, you are SO cutting my hair!!

I use bronze pins. They may look black against my hair, but they are definitely bronze!

Thank you, Kate, for teaching me how to curl my hair. Also, thank you for all of your hair style ideas, I tried something new yesterday (a loose twisted side pony) and got OODLES of compliments at church – the cashier at Lowe's even said to my girls, "When was the last time you told your mom she's beautiful? You should tell her more often because it's true." What a compliment from a total stranger!

You're gorgeous!! That hairsyle is so nice – and I love your outfit. I'm going to have to give that pretty little bun a try!!

I have that sparkly top! I need to pair it with that color what a great idea- I love that look!

Do you plan on any tutorials for shorter hair? I have a chin length layered bob and would love some ideas to change up the look while it's growing. After seeing all your styles, I wish I hadn't cut my hair!

How in the world do you use bobby pins without opening them with your teeth? Of course I hate doing that and with my thick hair they never stay in unless I criss cross them. Suggestions??
Amanda says
My daughter (age 15) has very thick, naturally curly hair. She wants to get more control over it and possibly create larger, softer curls. Is that possible with her type of hair and a curling iron?
Mrs. Baker says
love that tiny bun!
The Bozemans says
KAAAAAAATTTEEE!!! I got my hair cut EXACTLY like yours this past weekend. I have a similar hair texture (a lot of fine hair) and I am blonde. Your hair is just super cute so I had to copy it. I brought your picture in and my hairstylist was able to give me a cut just like yours! I am thrilled and got 11 compliments at work today! Yes, I was counting. =) I just wanted to say thanks and that I will be practicing all of your wonderful, wonderful hairstyles! <3
Kate says
11 compliments! Dang girl! 🙂
Christen says
If only my hair were just a little longer! It's getting there… ;>

Do you ever do hairstyles with mixed textures, say curls and crimped? I would love to see a tutorial on something fun and spunky for summer.

Hi Kate, thank you for this tutorial (and the others)! I used it for the morning, then added a second ballerina twist below to turn it into an updo later in the day 🙂 I find your blog very inspiring – especially on those exhausting days where it is easier to do a boring pony tail. I'm going to add a link to your blog from mine when I post a pic of my hair 🙂

Re: NASCAR INVESTIGATING BOWYER SPIN AT RICHMOND
This might not belong here because it's not specifically about Ryan Newman, but anyone who still has doubts about last night's shenanigan's, should read this: http://bit.ly/1avxZZ2. I was wondering how logano was able to pass cars after he was waved around on that final restart with old tires, and now we know.......
I quote a particularly alarming detail from the article:
"The resulting spin caused Bowyer to come into the pits, and sit. And sit. We also saw team mate Brian Vickers slowing down to within 20 mph of pace car speed on the final lap. Bowyer finished 25th on the day, 2 laps down with Vickers 24th, a lap down. This help ensure the 23rd place Logano, also a lap down, got the spots he needed to finish a point ahead of Gordon in the top ten in points. Newman's pit crew messed up the last stop so he dropped from first to fifth for the re-start and finished third on the day. Truex was within four positions of him to make the Chase on a tie-breaker. "
Shady as F**k. This doesn't go for just Bowyer, but the 55 as well as the entire MWR organization

Win After Win After Win
Yankees Win 4th Consecutive Series
The past week has been a great one for the Yankees. For me it's been busy, but just as great. The Home Opener was awesome, especially because I won the cookies! Thank you, Yankees, for winning to the score I predicted: 7-5. They lost Wednesday, but who cares? They bounced back with a win on Thursday 6-2. Then the Rangers came into town. My Yankees won last night in a short 6-inning rainy game by the score of 5-1, and just won today 7-3, locking up their 4th series win in 4 series. I'm so proud of these guys!
The funny thing about all this is, throughout the week I have only seen 1, I repeat 1 Yankee game from beginning to end. Yeah. I don't really like that…but what can I do? This is junior year…by far the most stressful year of my life so far. School has been intruding its way into the more important things in my life…sorry Yankees. That 1 game was on Thursday, where I decided not to do any of my work. Today, Saturday, I didn't have to do any work. But my best friend was home feeling under-the-weather and asked if I could come over. Of course I did. Hopefully she's feeling better now ♥ By the time I got home, it was 7-0 in the 6th. Whoa. My boys are holding their own without me.
Pitching Analysis: A.J. Burnett was a real beast today. He went 7 innings of 6-hit, shutout ball, recording 7 K's along the way. I was pleasantly surprised to see him come out, and complete the 7th inning. I was worried, like many others were, about his pitch count. But then I remembered something: A.J. Burnett is a man. A big, tough, sexy-tattooed man. He can handle 111 pitches this early in the season. Oh yeah. He can😉 Another thing that surprised me was that he did all this with Jorge behind the plate. It really pleases me to see them getting along. The only thing I don't like about that, is that it means Cervelli (♥) won't be catching him every 5 days…I enjoyed seeing him yesterday though.
Alfredo Aceves allowed a 3-run homer to Nelson Cruz in the 8th, and was pulled for Marte, who did a nice job. Joba Chamberlain closed it out nicely, ending the game with a strikeout. He looks mighty fine himself…
Offensive Analysis: The offense exploded once again! Boy do I love when this happens. they didn't score at all when I finally got to watch it, but that was okay – they had a huge explosion earlier in the game. Nick Johnson walked with the bases loaded to force in a run, and Tex drove in a run with a cheap little hit in the 2nd.
The 3rd was where the real explosion occurred. Gardner, who had a stereotypical "Gardner" day at the plate, (with 3 pesty little infield singles) drove in Jorge with an infield single. Then he and Granderson, who was on 3rd, tried to pull that old double steal of 2nd and home trick. Gardy broke for the bag, and the throw went wild! GrandyMan (♥) scored, the inning continued. Yay. In the same at-bat, Derek Jeter hit a 2-run home run, making it 6-0. What is up with Jeter lately? He's on quite the power surge. I hope this keeps up.
Jeet also singled in the 2nd. He just sprays the ball all over the field.
In the 4th, Alex Rodriguez came up, still searching for his first HR of the season. After that at-bat, his wait was over! A-Rod went deep to right, finally filling in that home run column, and more importantly, giving the Yankees a cozy 7-0 lead. Awesome.
Hey good lookin', whatchya got cookin'? HOME RUN!! Mmm…my favorite😉
Good game today boys! Everything worked so smoothly. The heroes for this well-played win are A.J. Burnett, for his sexy-beastness on the mound, Brettiboo Gardner, for being "annoying" and making me proud with 3 infield hits, and Alex Rodriguez, for getting his 1st of many homers this season🙂
It's been a fun week to be a Yankee fan. These boys just make me so proud. Already, they are 8-3, and are in first place in the AL East. It seems as if a few guys left, a few new guys came, but the team is continuing right where they left off last season. I know it's early, but #28 doens't sound too far-fetched…
I love you guys ♥ Keep up the good baseball!

It's been a great week to be a Yankee fan. Your line about A.J. totally cracked me up. "But then I remembered something: A.J. Burnett is a man." LOL! Yeah, he is, and he pitched a gem today.
I know exactly how you feel about missing almost all of the games. I am in the same boat. Junior year is stressing me out. Enjoy the rest of the season, and it won't be long before school is over!🙂
Come check out my blog!
It was indeed a great game! I love watching this team when they're on, because they don't let up on anyone — starter or bullpen guy. They just keep raking. Which is what made them so deadly at the end of last season and then in the playoffs.
BTW, I remember my junior year of high school…..way back in 1998. LOL Maybe the Yanks will win the World Series for you like they did for me then. 😀
Glad you won the cookies… it's only right they be won by a Yankee fan who will enjoy them the most… it's April and it feels good to have baseball again especially when your team is winning… sorry school is interfering with your social interaction with the Yankees….
Phillies Outside
Hey, sweet blog! Glad I found it. We're very similar (girls who are in their junior year of high school and passionate baseball fans), but I'm a Red Sox fan. But this is by far the most stressful year of my life! Baseball is very therapeutic though.
A nice first two weeks for the boyz indeed. Keep your nose to the grindstone. You aren't missing anything! Life starts on the other side of good education. All this will pay off.
Enjoy the season best you can.
Your Yankees have had a great start. Junior year is a bit stressful but senior year should be a breeze.
Great start for the Yanks-but I can't help but be worried about the struggles of big players like Nick Johnson, Javi Vazquez, and Mark Texeira. Hopefully though, April showers bring May flowers in the case of these players….

Aba and Helen Kifle were sure the shoepocalypse was eminent when their sister Aden Kifle left her job at a Soho shoe boutique in New York City to move back to Columbus. But rather than pout about the loss of their high-end hook-up, the well-heeled Kifle clan decided to stop dreaming and start doing. After years of discussion, the sisters took the plunge and opened Kifle Shoe Boutique in The Short North last August, hoping to bring a little more style to the capital city.
Our parents are from Eritrea in East Africa. Aden was actually born there. They left the country and moved here because of war. I just got back from visiting family there. —Aba
Aden lived in New York and worked at a shoe boutique in Soho. We used to get all our shoes there. Once she moved back, we thought, "Where are we going to get our shoes now?" Fashion had always been a part of our lives, and when Aden moved back she knew she wanted to open her own boutique. Once I quit my sales job I asked them if they were serious about the store. After about three years of talking, we got down to business in April of 2013 and opened that August. —Aba
Starting a small business is really scary. In the back of your mind you always think, "Should I be doing this?" In the corporate world, there is more micro-managing. Now that we have a business we get to bring our own ideas and do what we want. —Aden
The hardest part of this whole endeavor was finding a location! We knew we wanted to be in the Short North, but we were having a lot of trouble finding a place. Our brother (who works across the street) texted us one day and said the space at 1203 N. High was available. As soon as we saw the floors, we knew it was the spot. Cleaning those beautiful granite floors was a two- month project. —Aba
We cater to girls who have their own unique style. We are all about the girl who wants to be fashionable in their every-day attire and try lots of different looks. We have polished pumps for work and edgier styles as well. We try to bring in a little bit of everything to take that stylish girl from the office to a night out. —Aden
Events like Gallery Hop have really helped our business. Sometimes it's hard to get people browsing the Short North to come this far north to shop. Events like Gallery Hop have given us an opportunity to feature the work of local artists and designers while getting people in the space. The events are so fun and we've met some great people and gotten a lot of community support. —Helen
The Columbus fashion scene is definitely growing. The success we've had so far with the boutique has shown us there is a demand for fashion in the city. —Helen
We have amazing designers that don't always have a platform to display and sell their work [in Columbus], and we hope to provide and help grow that platform. For example, my favorite local designer right now is Erica Dawn Woodmore. We carry her stuff in the store because she definitely has an empire state of mind. —Aden
Columbus just needs more confidence. That's the only thing we're missing. —Aba

Breakfast links: No free lunch
In the small southern town I grew up in a lot of the pre civil war congregations were integrated but then split into white and black churches during reconstruction. Even 150 years later you could see the separate buildings often down the street from one another with completely homogenous congregations. Its my understanding that this was fairly common across the south. So combine that with DC being one of the first stops in the great migration then it makes sense to talk about the make up of the congregation if that history is there.
There is nothing "great" about that map, unless "great" now means incorrect - particularly with regard to inside the beltway PG. Google "store locator" plus your favorite local supermarket: the result is that there are real live grocery stores (Giant, Shopppers, Safeway, etc.) located within those sad pink USDA deserts. I've actually lived in some of those "deserts" and regularly walked to the Safeway next door to my apartment complex. Not quite sure what USDA was trying to show here, but the implication of inaccessibility to food is way off base.
I will also say I've lived a lot of places around the nation and I have never known handicap fakers to be such a problem. Yet EVERY single time I see someone park in a dedicated space, I see them bound in and out of the vehicle, carrying heavy items etc. Yes, I know not everyone "looks" handicap, but I don't know when the last time was when I saw someone in one of those spaces who looked like they needed it.
Maybe I am just more aware because it seems the local media has been doing a lot more of these "gotcha" stories but people simply have no shame anymore.
Many placards are faked.
There's also a fundamental misunderstanding of what they are for. There was an article a while back in the Post about a woman who's car was towed near the Convention Center by the Secret Service because the President was in the building. I guess they do this for security reasons, just moving cars a few blocks away. However, she had parked in a handicapped zone, despite the fact she was not handicapped at all. Her husband was, but he was not with her. She thought this entitled her to make use of the placard at any time.
The beauty of the piece was that it was clearly written with the desire to generate sympathy for the difficulty she had finding her car after MPD lost it, but instead she received a strong backlash for blatant, unethical use of a handicapped placard.
So, short answer - yes, abuse of these placards is a huge problem. Truly shameful behavior, as well.
Didn't Trump once build a tower in NYC that blocked a lot of people's views and when they complained he hung a sign that said something to the effect of "if you still want this view move to my building?"
Did anyone actually look at the runner up "Taxi of Tomorrow" linked to in that article? The Karsan Model, which are ALL wheel chair accessible, actually LOOKS like a futuristic taxi. Very cool. Unlike the Nissan model they picked, which looks exactly like a "Taxi of Today". What a bore. And NYers say DC is conservative...
Will take pictures this weekend of the progress and provide links to the pictures to David if there is any interest.
Even before that: the Southern Baptist church was established in 1845 as an explicitly pro-slavery faith (In 1995 they made a formal apology, so it's never too late to do the right thing).
While I'm sure most slaves in the antebellum South were required to attend services at pro-slavery churches, there were a few churches founded by freed black folks. The AME was a post-reconstruction entity founded with the aim of establishing religious autonomy for blacks.

Thanks for my morning dose of schadenfraude. That was beautiful. Would that karmic payback were always so swift, just, and appropriate. The accompanying picture was just icing on the cake.
A good definition of a black church would be a church that has a) nearly all African-American parishioners and/or b) is in a traditional "black" denomination (Baptist, A.M.E.). This is not a foreign concept to Washington, D.C. at all.
I did, in fact, read the article, and I understand the premise of the article that green tech is a community issue for African Americans, due to the fact (quoted in the article) that many older, less efficient homes in the city are owned by African Americans. But to emphasize that this was the "first black church" seemed to imply the existence of some racial impediment to the adoption of green technology that has been overcome.
Seems like the real problem is just placard abuse, it is that we need to get rid of those spaces.
Please shop with us. No charges for unrealistic bags here.
Prince George's, Howard, Frederick, Fairfax, and Loudoun Counties
P.S. Any bag fee should ONLY be for plastic bags at majority-food establishments. No charge for paper bags. No charge for bags at department stores. This has to hit the upscale shoppers at White Flint/Montgomery Mall hard.
Honestly, it will be sad to see the market go, if that does eventually happen.
I can't tell if you've being ironic or on the level. Upscale (i.e. environmentally conscious) shoppers at White Flint are going to be driven to shop in PG or Frederick because there's a 5-cent bag surcharge?
And DC's poor are extremely well subsidized from a utility standpoint. DC's rates are far below the rates required to maintain the existing infrastructure.
Will there one when the first hispanic or homosexual church installs solar panel.
Hmph! And we wonder why race is always an issue.
@Ben, no your comments didn't come across as trolling. I immediately understood your response.
BTW, is there some sort of methodology behind that notion that blacks pay higher electric bills? Do we like more heat/ac than others? A little lost on that one.
I also remember the glee and irrational responses to the story about the woman being unable to find her car. Didn't find it funny.
"The AME was a post-reconstruction entity founded with the aim of establishing religious autonomy for blacks."
Not to go off-topic, but I believe they were founded much earlier than the Civil War. A nugget of history that I discovered late in life was that the founder of the church, a Mr. Allen, was a freed slave who had moved to Philadelphia, but who was originally from a farm not far from where I grew up.
Don't think this is the case at all, or at least, it's only incidentally about race. DC's black population tends to be poorer and older than the population as a whole. Poor people have good reasons to be suspicious of various initiatives that don't seem to immediately benefit them--especially things that might add inconvenience to their already inconvenient lives. Old people of any race tend to be suspicious of change.
I've found younger middle-class black residents of DC to be every bit as supportive of urbanist initiatives as anyone else in that demographic.
This is really a new low in your relentless crusade against the disabled.
I thought Adrian Fenty and Anthony Williams were big supporter of these efforts.
Oh wait, Adrian Fenty wasn't black and Williams was.
Oh no! Ok, well both are black but one is more of a light-skinned negro which makes him more appealing to nonblacks.
I really wonder how many young, middle class black DC residents are out there. Perennial debate on what is "middle class" in this area, and what is young -- under 40? 50? no children>
@oboe, unfortunately for the history of the Methodist church the AME was founded b/c AA's weren't welcomed by the Methodist church's national leadership. Also, the AA population in DC with lower than avg. income also skews younger than the avg. pop., e.g. Ward 8 has the greatest proportion of children under 18 of any ward. Ward 3 has the highest avg. age.
Bag fees at MOST should be used by establishments that make the majority of their sales in food. As it is, the DC fee stretching to places like Home Depot and Marshalls where food sales are miniscule is frustrating as it is.
MoCo needs to reevaluate this because they may drive sales from the county. Why bother having to bring a ton of reusable bags into White Flint or Montgomery Mall when a trip to Tysons or Columbia will eliminate that confusion. What person who is going on a shopping spree will want to bring 10 reusable bags with them?
Hey, count me as one.
If I decide to do more shopping than my single person can carry, I get a car and load it w/many of the 50-11 bags sitting in my house.
Fortunately for me, I started on the reusable kick years before the came up with the tax. Believe me, once you start to use them, you'll never go black. They are a godsend.
It's why I can load up a Sur La Table bag w/a bunch of stuff even my Trader Joe's bag couldn't handle.
The kind of person who's unwilling to drop 50 cents out of some misguided libertarian principle.
Look, we ran around and around this when DC made the switch: various chronically irritable folks on GGW pledged they would never shop in DC again, and that a retail apocalypse (AN APOCALYPSE, I TELL YOU!!!) would befall the city.
Turns out the DC bag tax has been fairly non-controversial a year later, and now the critique is that they haven't made as much money as they thought they might because people have been really good about bringing reusable bags.
LOL@HogWash for never going black.
Wrong adage. Wrong place. Wrong time.
DC's young, middle-class residents are actually quite diverse, compared to US society as a whole. If everyone in DC who was over 50 years of age, and everyone who had a household income of less than the city's median of $60k were raptured tomorrow, we'd still be an incredibly diverse city.
(Disclaimer: I do not advocate the rapturing of DC's poor and elderly)
@oboe, I have to disabuse of the notion that the AA population in DC at the lower income scale is older. Its not. Its younger on avg.
Good point, but I hope I didn't give the impression I was conflating the two in my comments; I was speaking about them as distinct groups: the poor and the elderly. Both have good reason to oppose change.
So that is 60K AA in the city with a college education. That's a good proxy for being "middle class."
And let's say half of the again are "young". So about 30K, or 5% of the district's population.
@oboe, it did sound like you were conflating old/AA/poor.
If bag fees are so good, why outside the DC area and the Bay Area haven't they taken hold? Why have they never been proposed in New York? Or Philly? Or Chicago? Or Boston? Or Seattle? Or in any of Texas's large cities as Blue as they are? Honestly, I'd rather see DC/VA/MD explore a bottle deposit instead.
What person will drive to Tysons from Montgomery County instead of bringing bags (or paying up to 50 cents)? Not me, anyway.
See what I did there?
But, there are times when the plastic bags do come in handy and in those cases, I may buy 10 of them which at 50c, never seem to break the bank.
I also believe that you're wrong about NYC. Bloomberg proposed a bag tax increase a couple years ago but I'm not sure if it passed.
It possible that the idea hadn't taken hold in other areas simply because it's too new or two progressive an idea. In this case, DC may have been more forward thinking than other areas and I say hat's off to DC for leading the charge. Didn't it take other states longer than it should have to implement the much-needed smoking ban in restaurants and bars? As a cigarette hater, I welcomed the idea.
On another note, I would be interested in seeing how much revenue is going to be generated to clean up the cesspool of a river called the Anacostia.
@andrew: How is it that Vancouver's bag bill is eternally stillborn, or how that it's never been proposed in Montreal or Ottawa or how Toronto's is being repealed albeit by a far-right mayor?
But there was a race gap there. Delegates from the nearly all-black parts of PG voted No but those from the more diverse northern part of the count were Yes votes..
It would sadly not surprise me to see some of the same pattern regarding environmental legislation.
As I said yesterday about the DC appleseed report, what percentage of the 600 tons of garbage disposed in the anacoistia was plastic bags?
I bet in most of those cases, the cities don't have the authority to institute a bag fee. DC does benefit from not having a state legislature that has to grant it powers, and at least at the time Congress was disinclined to meddle.
Montgomery County has explicit permission from Maryland to institute a bag fee. Prince George's does not; their state legislative delegation asked for authority, but was denied. Prince George's would probably pass a bag fee if they could.
Arlington definitely would, and asked for authority to pass one, but not surprisingly was turned down by Richmond.
Seattle is a moderately progressive city in a state that's much less so. Austin would surely get any idea like that nixed by the Texas legislature.
New York often gets things shot down by Albany; a few years ago Albany refused them permission to put cameras on buses to enforce rules against parking in bus lanes, and then only gave them the authority in exchange for budget concessions.
If any local jurisdiction could institute bag fees anywhere in the nation, it's a sure bet many areas would have bag fees in short order.

Percentage by weight isn't necessarily the relevant measure, though it's been said that plastic bags are the single biggest type of pollution. The question is whether they are particularly bad--say, worse than cardboard boxes. They don't break down as quickly, obviously. Do they strangle birds en masse? Do they leach carcinogenic toxins that cause male frogs to turn into females? Etc, etc...
What a hilarious argument.
With this logic, you can never innovate, because you cant do something until others have done it, and others cant do it, until you've done it.
As I mentioned before, different traditions tend to have different racial compositions. In DC, the location of a church may give you a strong, but not complete, indication of its racial composition.
I am a Lutheran and go to Church in NW by Wilson High. Our church is 90% white. This is not uncommon among Lutherans, who draw from people of German and Scandanavian descent. The Capitol Hill church is somewhat more diverse, because of its location, but it still draws from the traditional Lutheran groups.
It is true that poor African-Americans in this city have not embraced what new urbanists would like to see, despite the fact that they are usually the groups most negatively affected by pollution and traffic issues. It is also true that it isn't really about race but poverty. So, we have to get the poor population involved, in order to build popular support for the initiatives that pro-transit, pro-environment people want.
I think that one of the strongest ways to do that, in addition to restating the inequalities in pollution, is to emphasize the ability of transit to help poor people get to work. There remains a huge disparity in car ownership in this country, so good transportation options are a must for anyone without a car who wants to work.
If we emphasize this social justice point, we will win over more people.
Whenever I think of DC statehood, I think of how a DC/MoCo state would be a bit more viable. The Dems would get a state of 1.5 million that would be deep blue and Maryland would possibly become a swing state. MoCo, at the same time, would get behind the wheel rather than playing the role of Annapolis's ATM. DC would benefit by having MoCo's superior schools system taking over their. The one downside may be that MoCo has little infrastructure to service the at-need, for example there are no homeless shelters in the entire county as they expect DC/PG to take everyone in.
The difference between DCPS and MCPS is one of demographics, not of management.

Life in the Balance
Modern medicine has brought us near miracles. It has also brought us some of the most difficult decisions we'll ever have to face. Are we obliged to prolong life even at the cost of terrible suffering? Should we legalize the sale of organs, such as kidneys, to save the lives of transplant patients? May a woman with a multiple-fetus pregnancy opt for fetal reduction, thus forfeiting the lives of some to possibly save others? When it seems that every available option is morally questionable, how do we decide?
Fortunately for us all, Torah and the Talmud are not silent about such matters. And this course will show you what they have to say.
When it comes to the ethics of medicine, we're going to get real—in the most dramatic possible way. We'll discuss actual case studies, examining many possible viewpoints as we come to grips with the issue that matters most: What kind of action—or inaction—should we take? When should we take it? And when do we edge too close to playing G-d?
More intriguing than any fictional TV show, this course will prepare you for choices that you or a loved one may be called upon to make. It is also a fascinating exposure to little-discussed aspects of Judaism.
This course is accredited for CLE, CME and CE credits!

text: My dd is 13 mos old and still breastfeeding. I had planned on weaning at a year, but failed due to her resistence. Now I am practically at my wits end. I badly want to wean...I'm not happy with our relationship and neither is my baby. All day long for the past year she has been a very irritable touchy baby. After I give her a full meal (table foods/baby foods) she is at her happiest, I'm beginning to think its my milk that causes her so much "pain?" We just moved practically a week ago and she is suffering from MAJOR seperation anxiety. If I set her down anywhere (highchair, the floor, on the bed) she screams. I can't leave her alone with anyone or she literally cries bloody murder, as if I'm never going to return home to her. Has anyone else had this much trouble? I need a break and an end to our bf relationship. I just want to have a happy baby and a close bond with her, but all our bf is doing is making me want to create distance from her. Somebody please help...tell me what to do!? Thanks...any comments and advice is GREATLY appreciated.
