Local bridges receive funding
Local fishermen enjoy success over weekend
Looks like we have to endure one more week of winter-like weather before the Spring Fling begins.
This weekend was just a tease of what's to come. The warm spell brought a number of trout fishing opportunities both from the City of Dunkirk pier and in a number of local streams.
Saturday, the pier fishermen had a great day with a number of anglers hooking up with fresh run steelhead. Those chrome-sided beauties targeted spoons like cleo's and mini jigs presented under a slip bobber.
Tipping the jigs with a meat bait, such as live minnow or a wax worm, seems to improve your chances for a hook-up. I spoke with the Rasmus brothers Monday afternoon. Both anglers were having success with a chenille jig with goo-goo type eyes. The jig was attached to a fluorocarbon leader with several small split shot attached. The jig was presented 8 feet below a slip bobber. The main line was a six-pound test. Both anglers favored long spinning rods to assist in long range casts and absorbing the fight of the fish while using lighter lines.
Being equipped with a long handled landing net is also advised. Jeffrey Rasmus is part of the fly tieing group present on Monday evenings at 6 p.m. at the Northern Chautauqua Conservation Club. Many of the jigs and flies that they use are tied at the "Con Club" and those who choose to attend are able to learn how to tie their own, free of charge. All vises and materials are provided.
Stream fishing had also improved until Wednesday when most of the waterways were blown out. Look for the fishing to improve when the water level goes down and clears up.
Note: The Department of Environmental Conservation reminds ice anglers that ice shanties must be removed by March 15. Shanties that fall partially through the ice become hard to remove and create hazards to snowmobiles and other motorized vehicles on the ice. Shanties that remain after ice out (when the ice has melted away) become boating hazards. Owners that fail to remove their shanty by March 15 can be ticketed and face a maximum possible fine of $100.
The SAFE Sportsmen's Outreach will host its second Annual Wild Game Banque and Auction on Saturday, March 16 at the Busti Church of God, 996 Forest Ave., Busti. The dinner will include a variety of foods, buffet style. There will be door prizes and silent auctions for the whole family. Tickets are $10 per person. Brent Henderson, a professional hunter and musician, will be the keynote speaker. He has hunted in 30 countries and 49 of the United States. His travels include bowhunting in Africa and caribou in Alaska. He is prostaff for Bear Archery, Grim Reaper Broadheads, Woodswise, Gold Tip Arrows and has written numerous magazine articles and internet articles. He also is an accomplished fisherman, a major label recording artist and the author of the book titled "Drivetime Adventures." He is one of the most sought after Full Time outdoor Ministry presenters in the industry. For banquet reservations or tickets, contact Lee O'Brien at 720-0115.

The Fab Two are to hit the stage together at the Grammy Awards (according to NME). Surprisingly no news if they are going to be at the Grammy's Beatles tribute the next night (yet).
Wonder what they'll perform - my guess A Little Help From My Friends will be one.

profound? is that a polite way to say bull****? lol
Actually, Mr Writer, profound is a horrible way to express what I was thinking.
Profound means many things: very great, strong, or intense;
showing great understanding: showing great perception, understanding, or knowledge; requiring great understanding: requiring great perception, understanding, or knowledge; extending to or situated at a great depth.
Perhaps your expression is much closer to what I wanted to say. Profound is commmonly misused and I stand corrected. And yes, sir. I do try and be polite.

Department of Public and Allied Health Sciences
You are here
The Department of Public and Allied Health Sciences is an interdisciplinary department that prepares students for a wide variety of careers, graduate education, and professional health education. The Department is composed of two unique, yet related majors: Movement Science and Public Health. Regardless of the selected major and concentration, students must complete the General Education Program as required of all University students (See General Education Requirements).
The mission of the Department of Public and Allied Health Sciences is to prepare undergraduates for careers and graduate education in movement/exercise science, kinesiology, human performance, allied health disciplines, public health and community health. Graduates of these majors are provided with theoretical, laboratory, research, service learning, clinical, and community service opportunities to advance knowledge, ethical practice, and service in future endeavors. The department provides meaningful interaction among its constituents, the campus community, and the community at-large through the use of educational and research methodologies, service learning, and community service activities. Moreover, the department promotes and provides programs which seek to remedy current under-representation of minorities in allied health, fitness and wellness, exercise/movement science, kinesiological, allied health, community health, and public health professions. The department is dedicated to meeting the educational and professional preparation needs of individuals who plan to interface with the diverse and ever-changing society of the 21st century.
The philosophy of the Department of Public and Allied Health Sciences is to develop effective and ethical practitioners, clinicians, and researchers who possess comprehensive content knowledge, practice and ethical behaviors; utilize appropriate assessment procedures and techniques; demonstrate effective interpersonal communication skills; display the ability to problem solve and develop strategies for successful outcomes; employ technology in a variety of settings; and apply successful strategies through proven models of research, best practices, and service.
The faculty believes that every student in a major within the Department of Public and Allied Health Sciences should have access to a high quality program that prepares students or careers in the fitness and wellness industry and post graduate education in movement/exercise science, kinesiology, human performance, allied health disciplines, community health, and public health disciplines. In addition, the faculty believes that every graduate should:
- Demonstrate proficiency in the content area in which he or she elects to specialize.
- Provide evidence of professional and ethical disposition and a broad spectrum of instructional knowledge, skills, and values.
- Exhibit the ability to work effectively within our nationally and internationally diverse society.
- Display a wide range of communication skills, including writing, speaking, and listening.
- Demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge, skills, and values by engaging in critical thinking and problem solving activities and critical analysis for successful outcomes.
- Provide evidence of the ability to translate research findings into meaningful practical applications.
- Exhibit technological and information literacy, conduct literature searches and use technology for the advancement of knowledge, practice, and service.
- Display an understanding that their selected interdisciplinary discipline is a dynamic process, which is knowledge-based, comprehensive and continuous, and requires discourse among colleagues.
The Department of Public and Allied Health Sciences faculty utilizes "Best Practices" in its delivery of instruction and learning experiences to actively engage students in lecture, laboratory experiences, and campus and community service activities, and faculty-directed student research. All of which embrace the concerns of a diverse, changing global society. Public Health classes actively engage students through program planning, implementation, and assessment, research activities, observation and fieldwork, practicum, and internships. Problem solving activities provide students with the opportunity to explore real life situations, which present opportunities to develop skills to adapt to new problems and issues. The Department provides equipment, facilities, experiences, and instruction to facilitate optimal learning and community engagement.
All Delaware State University students must successfully complete a Lifetime Fitness and Wellness course during their first year of study. This course combines instruction in and practice of physical activity, healthier food selection, sexual wellness, mental health, and the effects of chronic disease, stress, drugs and alcohol. Students are assessed for baseline health using the Polar Tri-Fit system. Students are required to participate in and document physical activity. Health risk appraisals and ongoing assessments are integrated into the course, which carries two hours of graded academic credit. This course is a required course in the General Education core and is applied toward the credit total for graduation regardless of major. An ancillary activity of Lifetime Fitness and Wellness, is to provide all students, faculty, staff, and administrators with access to baseline health risk appraisals. All students are required to earn a grade of C or better.
The Exercise Physiology and Movement Analysis Laboratory provide students with opportunities to enhance learning relative to applied aspects of exercise science. Each laboratory is equipped with industry standard testing and training instrumentation used in clinical fitness and wellness settings.
The faculty is engaged in a variety of research activities including: neuromechanical aspects of injury prevention and rehabilitation, chronic disease prevention, physical activity interventions, overweight and obesity prevention and intervention across the lifespan, physical activity intervention across the lifespan, and behavioral aspects of exercise participation and compliance.
The department participates in a variety of community outreach activities, including, but not limited to: community health fairs and health education workshops, sports nutrition education, strength and speed conditioning workshops, and in-depth health, fitness, and biomechanical assessments. Community outreach and service learning activities are supervised by the department faculty.

U Tam'si, Tchicaya
Tchicaya U Tam'si 1931–1988
(Born Gérald Felix Tchicaya; surname also spelled Tchikaya) Congolese poet, dramatist, novelist, and short story writer.
Considered by many as one of the most influential modernist African writers, Tchicaya is relatively unknown in the English-speaking world due to the paucity of translated editions of his work. He chiefly wrote poetry but turned to drama and fiction toward the end of his career. Despite having spent nearly a lifetime abroad in France—a move which marked his early works with an overwhelming sense of loss—Tchicaya reflected on life in newly independent Africa in his poetry, addressing the effects of Christianity, colonialism, and European pedagogy on his native continent through rich imagery, African symbols, and rhythms derived from African oral literature. Critics have observed the influences of French surrealism and négritude, a literary movement that championed blackness, in his writing style, and they have compared his verse to that of French poets Aimé Césaire and Arthur Rimbaud and African poets L. S. Senghor and Diop Birago. Tchicaya's novels and short stories juxtapose Christian and African cultural and religious values, often blending elements of surrealism and fantasy, while his dramas concern modern African struggles for power.
Biographical Information
Born August 25, 1931, in what is now the People's Republic of the Congo, Tchicaya was the son of the Congolese first deputy to the French National Assembly in Paris, and he finished his secondary education at Paris's Lycee Janson de Sailly. Afterwards, he remained in France, working at various odd jobs as a laborer, draftsman, and messenger. During the early 1950s, Tchicaya began writing poetry, and in 1955 he published his first verse collection, Le Mauvais sang (Bad Blood), which attracted little critical or popular attention. His succeeding volumes, Feu de brousse (1957; Brush Fire) and A triche-coeur (1958; By Cheating the Heart), however, garnered him recognition as an important new African voice. In the late 1950s he produced more than one hundred radio programs based on adaptations of African legends that he later collected as Légendes africaines (1968). After a brief stint in Leopoldville, Zaire, in 1960 as editor of the newspaper Le Congo, he returned to Paris and worked with the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a permanent official for the rest of his life. Tchicaya solidified his reputation as a leading proponent of négritude with the publication of Epitomé (1962) which earned him the grand prize for poetry at the Festival des Arts Nègres at Dakar in 1966. By 1970 Tchicaya was considered a major African writer following the appearance of L'Arc musical (1970; Bow Harp) and the English-language translation of Selected Poems (1970). During the late 1970s he focused his literary skill on drama, producing the plays Le Zulu (1976), Vwène le fondateur (1977), and Le Destin glorieux du Maréchel Nnikon Nniku, prince qu'on sort (1979; Glorious Destiny of Marshal Nnikon Nniku). In the 1980s, Tchicaya diversified his canon further by writing fiction, including the short story collection La main sèche (1980; Dried Hand) and the novels Les cancrelats (1980; The Cockroaches), Les Méduses, ou les orties de mer (1982; The Madman and the Mermaid), and Ces fruits si doux de l'arbre à pain (1987). Tchicaya died April 21, 1988, at Oise, France.
Major Works
Bad Blood concerns the poet's emotional response to his awareness about the human condition and the black man's status as a victim. Using images of children and birds, the collection's passive, despairing lone alternates with one of aggressive revolt. Tchicaya characteristically uses irony to temper intensity. Brush Fire explores the consequences of European colonialism, articulating the ways foreign systems of education and religion have alienated Africans from their culture and undermined native spiritual traditions. By Cheating the Heart emphasizes the poet's search for a purpose in life and addresses the suffering in Africa caused by slavery and colonialism. The fable-poem "Exquinoxiale," for instance, portrays Africa as a mother who has lost her child, yet prepares her body for the birth of another. Epitomé, widely regarded as Tchicaya's masterpiece, "reads like a poetic diary" of the Congolese uprising in 1960 and 1961, according to Gerald Moore. Christological imagery and language are vital in the collection, as the poet identifies himself with Christ and draws parallels between the exploitation of the Congo with the crucifixion. In Le Ventre (1964; The Belly), the Congo experience again dominates, with the author contemplating the life and death of his country. This collection contains some of Tchicaya's most difficult poetry due to its concentrated language, grammatical structure, and limited use of punctuation. Bow Harp and La Vests d'Intérieur suivi de Notes de Veille (1977) contain few references to public events but plenty of religious imagery. The more lyrical Bow Harp attempts to define the poet's faith, and La Veste d'Intérieur explores the isolation of the artist who lives in exile in a foreign culture. His novels are more political in nature. The Cockroaches details the lives of a French colonial and his African servants, and The Madman and the Mermaid investigates the mysterious deaths of two Congolese villagers. The stories of Dried Hand feature a surreal style, a mixture of French and African storytelling conventions, and a proverbial tone. Ces fruits si doux de l'arbre à pain focuses on family relationships, African mysticism, and Congolese politics.
Critical Reception
Tchicaya's literary work—no matter what the genre—has met with nearly universal critical acclaim, despite little attention from critics of African literature and general readers. Thomas R. Knipp called Tchicaya "the most prolific and gifted of the second generation of francophone poets," adding that "he is also the most difficult … an old-fashioned poet—even bookish and academic." The difficult nature of Tchicaya's poetry is a recurring theme in criticism of his work, however, Tchicaya's "mastery of his medium precludes his being dismissed as obscure or unintelligible," remarked Betty O'Grady. Many commentators have viewed Tchicaya as the most successful poet of négritude, although his verse as a whole has had little impact on the black world for reasons "more closely related to the political evolution of Africa than to literary merit," according to Clive Wake. Others have sensed a difference in Tchicaya's style of négritude, because it is more focused on the changing present rather than the traditional past. Chaibou Elhadji Oumarou suggested that Tchicaya's verse attempts "to build a cultural identity from within, that is, an identity geared toward the future. Such an identity has to be informed not by literary patterns imposed from without, but by pages of African history." Generally, critics have commended Tchicaya for the authenticity and universality of his work. Because of the religious nature of many of his poems, commentators have often attempted to reconcile the Christian and African elements to determine each poem's or collection's primary influence. Susan Erica Rein suggested that his poetry conveys a transcendent religiosity constituting nothing less than a unique "Tamsien religion," which combines features of African spiritual traditions and Catholicism. Tchicaya's fiction also has garnered praise similar to his poetry. Eric Sellin found that the novel The Cockroaches "significantly enriches the corpus of Francophone African literature," and that his stories "deserve the most careful intellectual scrutiny.

[In the following essay, Knipp examines the themes of negritude and the alienation of the modern African in Tchicaya's poetry.]
The Congolese Felix Tchikaya U'Tamsi is the most prolific and gifted of the second generation of francophone poets. He is also the most difficult. His surrealism reaches back through Aimé Césaire to André Breton and others in the 1920s. In this sense he is an old-fashioned poet—even bookish and academic. But his poetry, which in the hands of Gerald Moore, Sangodare Akanji and others seems to translate well, is...

[In the essay below, Wake provides a thematic overview of Tchicaya's works, suggesting "ways in which one might gradually penetrate the mysteries" of his poetry.]
Tchicaya U Tam'si is a major African poet, the most outstanding French-speaking African poet of the younger, or what one might perhaps call the post-Négritude, generation. His work has not, however, made the same impact on the black world as Senghor's, for reasons which are more closely related to the political evolution of Africa than to...

[In the following review, Sellin praises Tchicaya's literary achievement in Les cancrelats.]
African fiction of French expression has tended, since the early 1950s, to conform not only to French linguistic stringencies but also to French literary models. The African writer adopted certain forms which conformed to his predilections, notably the diary, the epistolary exchange, the autobiography and the short story or fable.
A new, more boisterous fiction, which made the French language and consequent literary tradition bend to its will rather than...

[In the favorable review below, Sellin maintains that the stories in La main sèche "deserve the most careful intellectual scrutiny."]
Tchicaya's short stories [in La main sèche], published the same year as his first novel, Les cancrelats, have the same triple thrust as that novel. First, there is the surreal and fascinating style; second, there is the blend of Western Christianity and African tradition; and third, there is the proverbial tone to the diction. Particularly salient in these tales is the fascinating blend of Christian...

Tchicaya U Tam'si's first two novels, Les cancrelats and La main sèche, both appeared in 1980. Now, after a lacuna of seven years, we have a third novel in the vein of the first two.

Although Tchicaya's brilliant novel [The Madman and the Medusa]—part of the acclaimed Caraf series—can be read in several ways, I would like to look at it as an epistemological and linguistic mystery. From the very first page we see the uncertainty principle at work.

The death of Tchicaya U Tam'Si on 22 April 1988 at the age of fifty-seven sent shock waves through the world of African literature.

There's no one right way to do polyamory, but there are plenty of wrong ways – Miss Poly Manners
At OpenSF last month, a session on Negotiating Non-Monogamy gave me some food for thought on the perils of taking those first few steps into non-monogamy. The truth is that most couples who approach polyamory do so with the best of intentions. And yet, they often so diligently focus on the health of their own relationship that they can fail to consider the needs and health of the person that they intended to bring lovingly into their relationship. The result? Drama and pain for everyone involved!
A novel approach: the HBB speaks
Most books, articles and sessions on negotiating non-monogamy are geared toward the couple who is opening up a relationship. That makes sense; while there are many single polys, it's often a monogamous couple that is seeking advice on opening up a relationship for the first time. And these books, articles and sessions are inevitably written and developed from the point of view of the couple. But here's a twist, the secret no one will tell you: if you want advice on how to successfully open up a relationship, ask the people who would be interested in joining it. (Or run away screaming from it.) That is, ask the people you intend to date how you as a couple can put your best foot forward.
So that's the novel approach here: how to negotiate non-monogamy successfully, from the point of view of the HBB (Hot Boobiesexual Babe) that you hope to bring into it! If you want to know how to get a quality new lover that will get along with your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/spouse and present minimal drama, read on.
This is not a post about general poly skills you need to negotiate your first poly relationship. Instead, this is a list of specific do's and don'ts that couples often overlook when negotiating their first non-monogamous relationship. First, let's start with the positive: the do's.
Newly non-monogamous do's
OK! You've done the scary part and told your partner you want to be non-monogamous, and that partner didn't leave the room screaming. Great first step! So… now what? What often follows is a series of long talks and negotiations that are all aimed at one thing: protecting the existing relationship. Now, protecting the existing relationship isn't a bad thing per se, but if it's your primary concern, you'll find you won't have a very positive first poly experience. Most couples begin with this mindset:
"How do we move forward without damaging our current relationship and without my getting hurt?"
This may seem to be a logical question, but in the dating world, fear of change is self-defeating. Of course your relationship will change; you're adding another full human being to it! Not being open to changes, including those within yourself, is the #1 killer of first-time poly relationships. The first person you date outside your relationship is a human being with needs, quirks, desires, sarcasm, giggles and a whole wealth of emotions, just like you do. And adding another person to a family always changes the dynamic. Going into defensive/protection mode isn't beneficial for you, your current partner, or your new partner.
Rather, try asking yourselves this:
- What value do we have to offer to someone else?
- How can we/I make a new partner feel loved, comfortable and included like I do?
- How can we enrich this person's experience with us and with poly?
Think of it this way: if you as a couple discovered you were pregnant, would you sit down to have a lot of talks about how you are going to protect yourself from the damage the new child will do to your current relationship dynamic? Would you plan how you're going to keep the new child from threatening you and your lifestyle? Would you make a list of rules to prevent the child from crying when you're having a dinner party and kick the child out if she does? Would you insist on having veto power and kicking the kid out if he doesn't stick to his appointed nap time?
Well, you could, but it would be a bit cruel. If you're that worried about maintaining your relationship exactly as it is, you're probably not ready for a kid. And ditto with polyamory: if you're more worried about protecting what you have than welcoming change, you're not ready for a non-monogamous relationship.
Rather, when a couple contemplates a child, they tend to think less of the limits the child will place on their lives and the stresses it will place on their relationship and more about what they have to offer the child and how much joy they will take in watching the child develop and change them as partners and parents. They look forward to discovering a new dynamic with the child: will she bring the family together at her ball games? Will he need a ride to his dance recitals? How much fun will it be to chaperone her first sleepover? Who will support him when he's down and needs a shoulder to cry on?
OK, to some extent, it's a ridiculous analogy to compare a fully-grown adult to a child. But in another way, it's not. A new romantic relationship can change your relationship just as much as a new child will, and making rules to limit an adult's love and interactions can be just as cruel as making a list to limit a child's. In fact, it can be even more so, since the adult is fully self-aware and often capable of clearly stating and negotiating needs and wants, unlike a child.
So sure, be realistic about the relationship change, and make sure you have date nights and some alone time. But it's far more beneficial to begin opening up your relationship by anticipating the joys of the new relationship dynamic than by fearing the change it will bring. And when you approach polyamory in this manner, you'll enjoy the added benefit of treating your new partner(s) with respect and love rather than as a disposable test case for your own foibles.
Newly non-monogamous don'ts
This list is far easier to make, since time and time again, new poly couples break hearts in their quest to keep their own relationship primary and protected. Advice from those who have fled unhealthy couples, don't:
- Allow veto power. Insist on communication rather than veto power. Veto power too often is a substitute for communication. It's not wrong per se, but it's quite often a cop-out and used to wield power instead of communication. Be mindful that you should only be expected to control your own actions, not those of your partner. Wielding veto power often shifts the balance of power in a relationship and causes far more tension and drama than those relationships that don't offer this easy out. "Because I don't like her" isn't good enough; insist on thorough communication, and trust your partner to make choices that benefit everyone involved.
- Say there's no hierarchy if there is. One of the things I love about Tristan Taormino's book Opening Up is this relationship structure she named, Partnered Non-Monogamy. This is the structure in which has as its base a couple, and the couple is primary with no other primaries allowed. The parties may have additional lovers, together or separately, but there is no desire or option for any relationship that would equal or rival that of the original couple. This relationship model is often desirable for the couple but can be less so for the partners entering the relationship, so it's a good idea to be clear if this is the desired relationship structure. If this is your structure of choice, be sure not to mislead new partners by saying "we don't believe in hierarchies" or "you're not secondary." Those phrases may be more politically correct, but they aren't true in partnered non-monogamy. Respect your new partner by being honest with him/her. And for goodness' sake, don't make this rule for one partner but then change it for another! That doesn't sit well with kids (ask anyone who was the oldest!), and it's equally unkind to do to adults.
- Ignore metamour communication. Roughly 50% of the emails I receive asking for advice are from a person in a couple asking how to deal with an issue that arose with a metamour. More often than not, what has happened is the relationship developed between partner A and the new lover, while partner B watched from afar and heard tidbits. Now, oh noes! There is an issue with the new lover and partner B, who have barely spoken before. What to do? Partner B doesn't have to be best friends with the new lover, but it's always a good idea to open up the lines of communication. Personally, I like to meet the new lover and then set up a coffee or lunch once a month just to chat. We rarely talk about relationship issues; the idea is to have a line of communication open so that if an issue arises, there is an already-established channel of communication and some trust in the trust bank. This makes dealing with relationship issues a breeze when they do arise. This is somewhat akin to a corporation setting up a blog and blogging on a weekly basis: communication, familiarity and credibility are established, so when a crisis arises (the CEO goes on a sexting binge with Newt Gingrich), there is a channel for communication already open to deal with the tough questions.
- Have the point of the vee moderate. In cases in which partner B has an issue with the new lover of partner A, and metamour relations have been ignored, it often happens that partner A (the point of the vee) ends up moderating between partner B and the new lover. Anyone who has ever had someone else speak on his behalf in an emotionally charged situation will understand why this is a terrible practice. It puts the full burden of communication among all parties on one person (the point of the vee) while absolving the others of any responsibility to communicate clearly with each other. It's a stressful situation for the point of the vee and disempowering for the other partners. In interpersonal relationships, every involved party should have a voice. Her own voice. It is simply bad communication practice to disallow a partner from participating in discussions that concern her. Even in hierarchical situations such as partnered non-monogamy, every partner deserves the respect of having a voice in the communications. No two people should ever make a decision in the absence of the third, no matter the hierarchy.
A case study
Here's common example of this dynamic that the couple might not even realize is disrespectful: partner A is dating a new lover, and the desire has come up for an overnight. Partner A says, "I'll check with partner B," and partners A and B have a long, intimate conversation about the merits and drawbacks of an overnight visit. The new lover is excluded from all communication and waits patiently outside the relationship, much like a child waiting to see if he gets a raise in his allowance or not. In this case, partners A and B undoubtedly didn't intend disrespect, but that brand of communication is setting up a power dynamic in which the new lover is essentially powerless to speak or negotiate on his own behalf. And it's a shame, because that particular situation is an excellent opportunity to forge a new and powerful dynamic by having all three involved parties meet, express their needs, listen to concerns and create a mutually-beneficial solution. In fact, it's difficult communications such as this that forge intimacy and trust and make for stronger relationships all around. Don't waste this valuable opportunity!

Topic: Storing CheckBox Values To Datastore
I ran into some interesting behavior. I have a form with some checkboxes on it. I have a database table attribute that corresponds to each checkbox value. So, if the box is checked,
I want to store 1 in the attribute. If unchecked, I want to store 0 in the attribute. I noticed that if the checkbox is unchecked, then there is no attribute/value for that checkbox passed in the params list to the controller. Right now, I have a solution for this in that I just populate a hidden input value with 0 or 1 and pass that. However, I have a bunch of these check boxes and for each one, I need to create a hidden input value.
A nicer solution would be to check in the controller whether the attribute/value pair exists
in the params list. If not, then I could manually populate the object attribute so that it gets saved to the database.
Here is an example of my create method and a comment of the code I need. What is the line of code that I need here?
def create
@assemblytest = Assemblytest.new(@params[:assemblytest])
@assemblytest.assembly_id = cookies[:selectedAssemblyID]
# How do I check the existence of a param here in the @params[:assemblytest] list?

In the Catbird Seat/Joe Kirkish
This week is usually filled with happy plans for the Easter table and in buying fancy new duds to suggest the season of Lent is almost over; but if you had been born in Ireland, once dominated by stringent religious codes and had Holy Week to face, here's what you would have endured:
Lent, the five week period leading to Holy Week, would be a time of deprivation, religious contemplation, and fasting. In the old days, Holy Week was once a full seven-day period of extreme denial, with meals including little more than black tea, dry bread, plain potatoes, and perhaps a little porridge until Good Friday, when some families denied themselves all but dry bread and water in recognition of the day of Christ's suffering and death.
Coming after so many weeks of partial-fasting & eating of herring to replace meat, Holy Weed was meant to be difficult so difficult that by the mid-19th century the final days of Holy Week were officially shortened to two days before Easter.
Still, Good Friday brought many self-assigned restrictions, symbolic of the suffering that Jesus endured prior to His death. Because that traumatic death was on a wooden cross, no woodworking or building could be done on Good Friday. Fasting was a widely known practice, but with the addition to fasting the people of old Ireland would remain absolutely silent from noon until three on Good Friday. Mass was included as a holy observation, along with a visit to ancestral grave sites. In general, the day was spent with reverence and respect for the memory of Christ, and for the community's coming together to show respect with suffering and contemplation.
Incidentally, since during medieval times, all bread baked on Good Friday was marked with a cross in remembrance of Christ's crucifixion. The custom survives on today's Hot Cross Buns and modern soda bread.
Easter Saturday was less stringent usually a day of preparation for Easter Sunday. Visiting with relatives and food preparations added to a sense of excitement for the coming day, lightening the oppressiveness of the past five weeks of fasts and food restrictions and whatever other personal abnegations that were self-assigned all accompanied by a ritual blessing of the home with holy water by the parish priest, who would go from house to house, blessing each, then taking time to visit the pastures and bless the family livestock. It was in preparation for a new season, with families walking through their homes and gardens to reflect on their present lives.
In older times, butchers, happily anticipating that they would soon be selling meat again, often organized processions which involved hanging a dead fish from a pike and carrying it through the streets.
A ceremony that persisted into the 20th century known as Whipping the Herring was popular; everyone was encouraged to whip the fish as the procession led to the nearest river where the fish was discarded.
Easter Sunday, after church services, was a day of feasting and drinking. Lamb, veal and chicken were popular treats, though among the poorer families corned (salted) beef with ham or boiled bacon was served with cabbage and potatoes.
Easter eggs, and plenty of them, were popular as a symbol of new life. A common man's breakfast might begin with the consumption of no less than six eggs served fried or boiled. Children celebrated with a "cludog" – a gathering with neighborhood children to search out gifts of food and flavored water, in a field or at a fireside, then to cook their eggs (often colored with herbs and weeds in boiling water). There was fun in rolling eggs down the hills of budding green foliage, and enjoying a Cake Dance, all in honor of the beginning of summer. At home, enjoying barm brack (current-studded bread) or a cake became the focus of a ceremony that would begin with the ceremonial displaying of the cake on white Irish linen, followed by the eating of it, music and dancing.
The Cake Dance was one of the most popular and widespread of Irish Easter traditions that continued into the 20th century. A dance contest would be held, the winners being those couples who danced longest or were judged most sprightly. They were declared to have the right of "taking the cake" and could then share it with their friends.
In general, Easter Sunday that began with a special Mass would be concluded happily, having been spent with loved ones in celebration, leaving Lent behind and looking optimistically toward to a brand new season.
HAPPY EASTER or PASSOVER!

State ranks low in logistics, manufacturing report
New York state ranks low in several categories in a national 2013 manufacturing and logistics report.
The Conexus Indiana 2013 Manufacturing and Logistics National Report has New York state ranking in the lower half of states in five of nine categories. The 2013 report shows how each state ranks among its peers in several areas of the economy that underlie the success of manufacturing and logistics. These specific measures include: manufacturing and logistics industry health, human capital, cost of worker benefits, diversification of the industries, state-level productivity and innovation, expected fiscal liability, tax climate and global reach.
The state received an F in two categories – tax climate and manufacturing industry health. The tax climate category ranked states when it comes to corporate, individual income, sales, unemployment insurance and property taxes. Only four other states also received an F in this category – Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey and Rhode Island.
The manufacturing industry health category judged states on the production of consumer durable and non-durable goods. Data includes the share of manufacturing economy, wage premium and per capita employment. Only four other states received an F -Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada and New Mexico.
New York state also ranked low in global reach with a D+. Global reach ranks states in manufacturing exports per capita, per capita income, export growth, reach of foreign direct investment, foreign direct investment value in manufacturing and demand index data. Thirty-five states had a better grade than New York in global reach.
New York scored a C- in both worker benefit costs and human capital. There were 30 states in the nation that ranked better than New York in both categories. Worker benefit costs ranked states when it comes to health care premiums, health care costs, workers' compensation rates and federal expenditures. Human capital measured states in education and skill level, health of residents, percent of high school degrees, bachelor's degrees and associate degrees.
New York ranked well in four categories. The state's best ranking was a B+ in expected fiscal liability gap. This category ranks states in unfunded liability per capita, percent of gross domestic product, average benefits and bond rankings. Only five states had a better grade: Delaware, Georgia, North Carolina, Utah and Wisconsin.
New York scored its second best grade of a B- in sector diversification. Only 13 states scored a better grade than New York. This category measured states through the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, which is a method of calculating diversification of industry sectors.
New York scored a C+ in productivity and innovation, with only 16 other states scoring a better grade. Productivity and innovation ranks states in research and development, patents per capita and average productivity.
New York scored a C in logistics industry health. In this category only 18 states scored a better grade. This section ranked states when it comes to transportation and warehouse industry groups that make it possible to store and move goods. The data includes employment per capita, commodity flows by road and rail, share of logistic economy, state infrastructure spending, commodities shipped, and highway infrastructure investment distribution.
The report was done by the Ball State Center for Business and Economic Research. Conexus Indiana is a private sector initiative focused on the advanced manufacturing and logistics sectors.

Mention the Sundance Film Festival to most pilots, and you'll get a blink or a shrug. That's because Sundance, which yearly showcases new work from U.S. and international independent film makers in Park City, Utah—and attracts large numbers of Hollywood types—doesn't usually screen films with a lot of aviation content.
Until now, that is.
Charlie Victor Romeo (Cockpit Voice Recorder) was named an official selection in the New Frontiers category at this year's Sundance. The film is based on a play in which all dialogue is taken directly from the cockpit voice recorder transcripts recovered after six airline emergencies. The show's message was so non-sensational that it was filmed by the U.S. Air Force as a training video for pilots. According to the website, one-third of the production's audience have been members of the aviation community.
Charlie Victor Romeo comes from 3-Legged Dog Media and Theater Group, and was directed by Bob Berger, Patrick Daniels, and Karlyn Michelson. We reached out to the production on Twitter for information about when and where you can expect to see it. Answer: "Looking forward to screening at film festivals and other events this year. Announcement soon. Thanks!" In other words, keep checking the film's website, or follow Charlie Victor Romeo on Twitter (@CVRPerformance)…or follow me (@jtallman1959) and I'll do my best to post updates.

Punk Emo Hairstyle
He is a little uptight and guarded so he needs volume to compliment that badass personality. This rocker dude knows how to fashion his hair. He had his locks set to explore dimensions and layers that start from the side swept fringe down to the neck. While he sports a reserved character, his hair refused to go with the flow so the black long strands sought for texture without gaining weight.

Encyclopedia Entry: "Arts"
Tyler Cowen. The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics. 2d ed. Indianapolis: Liberty Fund, 2007.
General economic principles govern the arts. Most important, artists use scarce means to achieve ends—and therefore recognize trade-offs, the defining aspects of economic behavior. Also, many other economic aspects of the arts make the arts similar to the more typical goods and services that economists analyze.

Addresses the real truth behind what happened with the Williams fight, his hand, his coming mandatory, rumors of alcoholism, and potential fights with Bute, Williams, and the winner of the Super Six. He's on for about the first 20 minutes of the podcast.
Here's hoping Kelly can get through this mandatory (admits hand is not ready, wanted to wait till late Jan but couldn't or he'd lose his belts), get his hand right, and that he gets a chance to put Paul Williams on his back in the spring. I'm dying to see that fight. And it's clear, it's the fight Pavlik wants.

Solar Impulse returning home from MoroccoMonday, July 16th, 2012
UPDATE: Solar Impulse is safely on the ground at its home in Switzerland.
The Solar Impulse prototype, now in Madrid after visiting Morocco, will head out tomorrow July 17 for either home in Payerne, Switzerland, or if weather is bad, Toulouse. If they go, you can follow the action live from inside the cockpit. Once home the prototype is to rest in its hangar while its bigger brother is constructed for the world flight in 2014. The main spar of that aircraft–that is 28 feet longer than the spar of the prototype now flying–failed a test while the prototype was returning from Morocco, and now the schedule for the world flight is uncertain.

11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Does not actually apply to The Spiritual War, but a Specific Battle in the Spiritual War, in which, as I said, there is really no War, but a massicre and bloodbath. That is not the everyday battles fought in this war...its a picture of Jesus when he takes charge and when he does that, its game over....Something that doesnt happen outside of revelation.
But at least you are presenting viable counters
You cant possibly think that because thats absent from the commandments its any less of an abomination to GOD...and yet he tollerated it. People seem to assume that Angels dont have a mind of their own...They may not have complete free will, like we do...but they must have some....because a lot of GODs problems have been caused by Rebels in the Heavens suddenly deciding to do things contrary to GODs Commands...is that not sinning?? and if Host can do it...then we have to ask ourselves...can ALL created Life sin?? and therefore is it a certainty that they all WILL?
Here is another thing....Regardless of who can and cant sin...Salvation isnt offered to everything. GODs free gift is only on offer for Humans...I dont see where he offers Eternal Life to Angelic Host...They may not be able to die or reproduce...but if they are Created, then their eternity is only a potential. GOD can distroy anything he makes.
Suppose for a second, not only was that Michael...BUT that he also sinned (I Do not believe it on this occasion...but that is another possible interpretation) Tell me...What use is The Commander of The Army of The Lord...AFTER the Lords victory? What exactly is it he will be fighting against?? We do not know what happens to Host after Armageddon, we do not know if they are judged...all we know is they CAN sin, because some of them undeniably have...and that at some point, Post Ressurectional Human Beings will be incharge of a great number of them (from Pauls text) beyond that...we actually dont know.
I already gave you the proof. The Commander accepted worship, thus He must be GOD or more specifically a pre-incarnate Christ.
We all know that Christ has existed for eternity and He didn't just pop into existence in Bethlehem 2000 years ago. So why is this a problem? He temporarily took on human form on rare, important occasions in the OT, however, no one is claiming that he was fully human and born of a virgin in any of these instances.
As for post-incarnate appearances, yes, in theory they would be possible. However, Jesus already told us what the circumstances of His return would be, so we can say with almost 100% certainty that Jesus has not returned to Earth since His Ascension 2000 years ago.
As for the descriptions of Jesus appearing on earth "willy-nilly," I find that to be more than a little blasphemous, because I don't believe we should trivialize anything GOD does.
As for you not stating your opinions with absolute certainty:
2) where does it say in scripture that such a thing as a pre-incarnate Christ exists. that is MERE Jewish Speculation to try and reconcile the issues of idolitry. At least admit, your view is based on as much presumption as mine.
3) whats the point in being born then? whats the point in the whole incarnation if Jesus has appeared many times, to do many important functions...also...I dont remember Jesus EVER saying he had walked in the form of a man on earth before...so Why do you assume...if he has, that he wont also come back before the second coming...coz he evidently hasnt told us ALL the visitations. You would have to accept that Jesus post incarnate only speaks about his visitations with regards to Salvation. That doesnt rule out him walking on earth RIGHT NOW so long as it is not to make an impact on his visitation 2000 years ago, or his Visitation during the Millenial Reign. Talking to you is like trying to get blood out of a stone. At least be logical and admit the flaws and options in your arguments
4) your the one trivializing. Your the one claiming he appears to do almost nothing. Jesus on Earth is a BIG Deal...what happened with Joshua moments before the taking of Jericho is insignificant. So insignificant, most people wont even be told of this apparition. So Jesus appeared...to do what? Tell Joshua to take his shoes off...The LORD Almighty, took human form simply to do that when he has a gazillion Host SPECIFICALLY designed for such task, CREATED for that sort of purpose alone. I find that personally an outragous suggestion. I admit its a valid interpretation if you can find no way of reconciling the worship issue...but what is the point? When you were in the forces...did you ever see such a High Ranking Official do anything without great purpose? Would your Chief of Staff...your President, come to your base to stand by the gate and say Goodmorning to you?? Would he lead you on the Battlefield? Would he fight by your side??
Yet you suppose that the same situation in the heavnely realm involves the opposite. All the grunts doing nothing, and only the Highest Ranking Officials doing the most menial of tasks. I simply dont understand how you can possibly think that makes logical sense?? You simply want to discount Angels as being unimportant. Thats what I think you are about. You neither care, nor give probably any time to how, in practical matters, the Kingdom is run. Nothing matters but the King...and I understand that, Truely I do...but I have always had a heart for those who end up doing all the work, those who get overlooked, those who work tierlessly and never get any recognition, those who are seen not to matter...and Angels...largely have been completely wipped out of history, all of them.
Yet for someone who places zero emphasis on Host...you really do have a lot to say about what is wrong, and what is evil. Yet you NEVER comment on threads where that comes up outside of biblical scripture...and let me tell you...it still happens...demons and angels didnt vanish with the early church. we are surrounded by a vast cloud of witnesses...and I dont think when Paul and Jesus say that they are talking about the faithful...I think they are talking about the Host...that we are surrounded by the spiritual world, fit to burst with spiritual beings we cant see with physical eyes...but whose voices we can, and hear constantly chattering in our heads and whispering in our ears...and those thoughts you think are yours, arent always yours at all.
5) Im certain of my believf...Im not certain that belief is true, and what I show you there is my workings out...how I came to my belief...I am always open to the possibility that one or more of the premises I have made might not be accurate, and therefore the wrong conclusion drawn...which is more then I can say for you, in the whole time ive ever known you, never once have you ever given doubt on a religious issue that your conclusion is not just thought, by you, to be the truth, but that is actually IS the truth and there is no uncertainty in that. I am full of uncertainty...I even change and update my own theology and evaluate my own theology over time, because I think im undergoing a process of revelation...and the more indepth you go, the more it changes...a little like studying a science...you study it at GCSE...and the first thing they tell you at A-Level is that half of what you studied, whilst true is so simplistic as to almost on some levels be false. I think Spiritual progression is learning, evaluating, and growing. GOD might be changeless, but im always changing...and the closer you get, the more detal you notice that wasnt there before...like approaching a planet...it just looks like a glowing ball at first...and then you can see crators, and then as you get closer you see more and more.
6) I said that was a possible interpretation. I did not say I believed that Interpretation. I believe your view is a possible interpretation, but I dont believe that either.
I spoke to Mother about this...she seems to think that Joshua worshipped GOD because the Angel told him he was standing on Holy Ground.
That seems far more simple then angel idolitry, pre-incarnate christs or sinful Host doesnt it.
Wish I'd just sat back and actually read the passage with its proper inference

Enlightenment Guide
WIP: This wiki is currently a Work In Progress. As the last version of The Bodhi Guide to Enlightenment is created in this 'new' wiki, links to each section will be gathered here.
- List at bottom should all be links to wiki pages
- If a page doesn't exist is should be created
This Bodhi Guide to Enlightenment is intended to be your resource for using Enlightenment and getting the most out of it. New Bodhi Linux users may also want to check out our brief introduction, the Quickstart Guide, which is available online and locally on your system, accessible via the Main Menu.
One of the beauties of a Linux system is the plethora of choices for a Window Manager, and Bodhi Linux uses Enlightenment as its default. But what exactly is a Window Manager?
According to Wikipedia, "A window manager is system software that controls the placement and appearance of windows within a windowing system in a graphical user interface … They work in conjunction with the underlying graphical system which provides required functionality such as support for graphics hardware, pointing devices, and a keyboard, and are often written and created using a widget toolkit."
Basically a Window Manager controls the way you interact with your computer, at least in the Graphical User Interface (GUI). Over time, many Window Managers have been extended to become full-fledged Desktop Environments. A Desktop Environment is generally considered to be a Window Manager that integrates common applications and services, which are often built using the same widget toolkit, into the GUI.
Enlightenment is known as a Window Manager, but provides most of the functionality found in much more resource-hungry Desktop Environments. You could say that it straddles the line between a Window Manager and a Desktop Environment.
The first version of Enlightenment was released in 1997. In December 2000, it was completely re-written using the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL), and remains in active development to this day. The current incarnation of Enlightenment is 0.1.9, often referred to as simply E19. It is officially stable. E20 is in the works, though a stable release is far into the future.
In the Fall of 2010, the lead-developer, Jeff Hoogland, began working on the idea of a new Linux distribution utilizing a current and relatively stable version of Enlightenment, built on the rock-solid EFL foundation, as the Window Manager, with an Ubuntu Long Term Support release as its base.
Enlightenment and Bodhi Linux
Enlightenment is the natural choice as a Window Manager in Bodhi Linux, as it fits in perfectly with two of the most important Bodhi Linux ideals:
- Minimalism – A default install of Enlightenment will run in less than 100 MB of RAM. That is FAR less than most modern Window Managers, not to mention complete Desktop Environments. But it doesn't come at the expense of great looks or functionality. Enlightenment is one of the most elegant Window Managers available, and is highly extensible through the use of Modules. Which brings us to the second ideal …
- User Choice – Enlightenment is likely the most highly configurable Window Manager in existence, so you can make your system look and work the way you want.
There are other Linux distributions that use Enlightenment as their Window Manager, but none (that we know of) deliver such frequent Enlightenment updates, ensuring that you always have the best Enlightenment has to offer.
Another great advantage of using Enlightenment in Bodhi Linux is that two active Enlightenment developers (Stephen "okra" Houston and Christopher "devilhorns" Michael) are also active developers on the Bodhi Linux team. This relationship benefits both parties. Any issues that appear in the E19 version that Bodhi Linux is using can be addressed and corrected quickly. And those fixes can then quickly go "upstream" to the main E19 development and out to the wider Enlightenment community as a whole.
We hope you find this guide useful.

Guns and schools
We hear a lot about gun control but maybe the GOP had a better plan when they wanted to teach our children more hate control in schools. After the Columbine, Colo. school murders almost all of the GOP members of Congress voted to post the 10 Commandments in school, but most of the Democrats voted against them. Even one Supreme Court judge said this might help.

Is Classical Music Too Arty-Farty for Its Own Good?Posted by sequenza21 in Classical Music, New Romantic, Tonality
Is classical music too pretentious? Is that perception off base to begin with? Do you have any personal experiences with pretentious behavior inside the world of classical music? Drew McManus asks the questions in an article in Partial Observor.
Elsewhere, but not unrelated, Randy Nordchow confesses to have abandoned "ironic-superficial-complexity with a conceptual bent and a little dark humor thrown in" in favor of the New Romantic.
Not to mention Tom Myron's "lovely" Violin Concerto.

Pueblo health department issues air quality alert
The Pueblo City-County Health Department on Friday issued an air quality health advisory because of smoke related to wildfires in neighboring counties.
Smoke and ash particulate in the air are very small and can be inhaled deep into the lungs.
Even healthy individuals should avoid exposure, but certain groups are more at risk.
Dr. Christine Nevin-Woods, director of the health department, advised Friday that everyone minimize their exposure when the skies are hazy with smoke.
"In general, if you can see or smell smoke, it is recommended that you avoid outdoor physical activities," said Nevin-Woods.
"If visibility is decreased in your neighborhood to less than five miles, smoke has reached levels that are unhealthy."
Even in healthy people, smoke can cause inflammation and temporary reductions in lung function — both of which can, in turn, impact the immune system, Nevin-Woods said.
Children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with respiratory conditions are especially susceptible and should stay inside with doors and windows closed until air quality has improved, Nevin-Woods said.
