ALBANY, N.Y. -- New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday called for the "toughest assault weapon ban in the nation," using his State of the State address to lay out a seven-point plan for reforming New York's gun laws.
Using a mix of specific proposals and broad language, Cuomo said the state must end "the risk of unnecessary, high-capacity assault rifles" without targeting hunters and sportsmen.
"Gun violence has been on a rampage as we know firsthand, and we know painfully," said Cuomo, who owns a Remington shotgun. "We must stop the madness, my friends, and in one word, it's just enough. It has been enough."
Cuomo's plan calls for a ban of all magazines with a capacity of more than 10 bullets. Currently, high-capacity magazines are banned in New York unless they were manufactured before 1994.
The Democratic governor did not lay out specifics for what an acceptable assault-weapons ban would entail. The state's current ban includes semi-automatic rifles, but only if they include a certain combination of accessories, such as a bayonet and a flash suppressor.
"We need a gun policy in this state this is reasonable, that is balanced, that is measured," Cuomo said. "We respect hunters and sportsmen. This is not taking people's guns."
STORY: Biden: Obama may take 'executive action' on gun control
Republican state Sen. James Seward of Milford said the governor's proposal might alienate gun owners and manufacturers. Remington Arms operates a plant in Ilion, which is in Seward's district.
"We need a balanced approach to help us to maintain those 1,000-plus jobs at Remington Arms in Ilion and also to maintain the interests of law-abiding legitimate gun owners," Seward said after the speech. "I think we can solve this problem of creating safer schools, safer communities, without ruining Remington Arms.
"Let's face it: They do not have to be located in a state that is hostile to legitimate gun ownership, and that's the danger," he continued.
Rochester Police Chief James Sheppard, who spoke before the governor at Wednesday's event, said he thought the governor's proposals were fair and would not offend law-abiding gun owners.
In addition to asking Sheppard to speak, Cuomo honored the families of two Webster, N.Y., firefighters who were killed in a Christmas Eve shooting. Cuomo gave the officers' families New York flags.
"You just can't stand back, the way things are," Sheppard said after the speech. "You have to do something to make a difference."
Cuomo has been in negotiations with legislative leaders over the past several weeks to reform the state's gun laws. Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Democrat from Manhattan, told reporters Tuesday that a deal on legislation was "achievable."
"Weapons that are designed to kill as many people as possible, as quickly as possible -- we don't need them in New York state. We should ban them," Silver said after the speech.
He said he told members of his conference that there was a possibility the Legislature would vote on gun laws this week or next.
The governor's plan would also require a background check for all private sales of guns. There would be enhanced penalties for possessing illegal guns -- though Cuomo did not get into specifics -- and reporting by mental-health professionals about the risk of their patients owning a gun.
His proposals would also bolster background checks and registrations for gun holders.
Senate Republicans last weekend released their own plan for the state's gun laws, focusing on increasing penalties for gun crimes and illegally obtained firearms. The GOP has also pushed for a permanent form of "Kendra's Law," which allows courts to order outpatient treatment for the mentally ill.

In a hurry, I might add.
It's the lack of character development, stupid.
1. Tired, trite plot devices. Hey, old campy sci fi flicks and cartoons like The Simpsons and Futurama have used ye olde decapitated head floating in a jar trope and used it better because the trope was intended to be tongue in cheek. Sorry, can't take it seriously. Makes me giggle.
2. "Smell the Fart". We don't know Michonne. Last season's cliffhanger left us with the impression of a borderline insane, possibly psychopathic, cunning, mysterious kick ass female survivor. I couldn't wait to get to know her. Unfortunately we still don't know Michonne because she has fallen victim to Joey Tribbiani's 'smell the fart' syndrome. Remember when Joey landed a leading role in a soap opera? Well… Michonne is smelling the fart big time. And that's about all she's doing.
3. Boring writing = the kiss of death = Andrea = Who? The one survivor I really cared about from the original group (after Shane's character-assassination and murder), the woman I had high hopes for, has become a zombie without even trying, uh, I mean… dying.
4. I don't need record zombie kills. Zombies are nothing more than set pieces. I need flesh and bone– three dimensional characters who move the plot forward. Please don't resort to zombie attacks to create plot which leads me to the following:
5. As my son says, heroes are boring. Villains are not. Why? Because most of the time movies and television portray heroes as reactive rather than proactive. Villains, on the other hand, are proactive. In other words, villains have a plan. They have a vision. Which is probably why The Governor is more interesting than anyone else, heads in jars notwithstanding. (I must point out the borrowing here– themes from Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. Pay attention, it's in there.)
I worried the death of Shane might spell the death of the show for me. I hoped Andrea and Michonne would fill the void. Not so far. Nada.
Thus I'm thrilled to have found Faith on Hulu and I can't wait for A Game of Thrones because if nothing else Tyrion and Cersei Lannister will fill an entire hour with plots and plans, sorrow and joy, murder and mayhem.
Complexity rules. It's the characters, stupid.

As many of you know, this year is the 100th anniversary of John Cage's birth. Many arts and cultural institutions across the country are celebrating with John Cage programming, and the Henry is partaking in our own unique way. Within the past week we have staged a performance of Cage's 33 1/3 Performed by the Audience on Friday. Read more about the performance HERE.
Earlier today we held a sold out workshop on mushroom cultivation at home, Fungus Among Us. You might be wondering "how this is a John Cage related program?" John Cage was an amateur mycologist during his 80 years. Don't let the adjective "amateur" fool you though, Cage founded the New York Mycological Society with a small group of other mycologially-inclined people over 40 years ago. He also amassed a mycology collection during his lifetime which includes "correspondence, journals, newsletters, pamphlets, ephemera and realia related to mushrooms." Cage gifted this collection to Special Collections at the University of Santa Cruz, where it can be researched and perused at the McHenry Library. Honoring the music John Cage composed during his lifetime is obviously necessary in a celebration of his life, but so is mycology. You can thank our Public Programs Coordinator, Whitney Ford-Terry, for such inspired programming honoring John Cage as the multidimensional man that he was.
Fungus Among Us was a workshop held at the Henry which was an introduction in cultivating your own edible mushrooms at home. We provided shiitake Grow-At-Home kits from Sno-Valley Mushrooms for the participants and helped them with their first step, rehousing the logs. Then Pacita Roberts with Hildegard Hendrickson from the Puget Sound Mycological Society gave a fantastic presentation on foraging for mushrooms. See pictures above.
If you are sad that you missed out on these two events, you have another chance to celebrate Cage's multifaceted legacy in a unique way at the end of this month. On November 30th, the Henry is celebrating Cage's vast and tremendously diverse output by hosting a performance by Stacey Mastrian and Stephen F. Lilly who will present selections that employ the voice in its many facets. These range from the simple, ethereal "Experiences No. 2" for solo voice with text by e e cummings, to readings from Cage's prolific body of written work, such as Lecture on Nothing and Indeterminacy. Add the Henry to your calendar for November 30th, 7-9 pm, and buy your tickets here.

Ninety years ago, a week-long winter sports "prelude" to the 1924 Paris Summer Games was held in Chamonix, France, a commune tucked away in the southeastern French Alps. This celebration of snow and ice was later renamed the first "Winter Games" by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The father of the modern Olympic movement, Frenchman Pierre de Coubertin, wanted the Olympics to incorporate as wide an athletic field as possible. Games played on snow or ice, however, initially presented a challenge. By 1909, technological advances enabled the production of artificial ice. Yet, de Coubertin felt that it was unrealistic to expect science to produce artificial snow of sufficient quality and quantity to last long enough to permit ski competitions over multiple days. "Thus, ice skating," he wrote, "is the only one of the three big winter sports that could have a place within the Olympics."
One world war later, this viewpoint changed. In 1921, the IOC decided to include winter sports in the Olympic fold. The following year, Chamonix was selected for its resort capacities: facilities, communications lines, and a guarantee of snow. Despite several weather- and construction-related setbacks, the games opened on January 25, 1924. Over the next 11 days, 258 athletes from 16 nations competed in 16 events. U.S. speed skater Charles Jewtraw was the first champion of the games in the 500m race. Figure skater Beatrix Loughran was the first female American athlete to medal at a Winter Games, and one of just eleven female athletes to participate at Chamonix.
While the Olympic movement still stands as a symbol of international peace, much has changed since then. Each successive Olympiad is larger than the preceding one. Today, over 3,000 amateur and professional athletes compete for medals in dozens of events, whereas in 1924 all participants were amateurs. The increased presence and reach of international media enables most corners of the globe to watch the festivities and competitions.
During the twentieth century, mediatization of the Olympics politicized the Games. Countries since the 1920s have used the quadrennial competitions to make statements or advance their domestic or international agendas. Athletes at times utilize their moment in the spotlight to advance a political cause. Joy has mixed with tragedy. However, Ssome of the more memorable Olympic moments are unrelated to winning the gold medal. Sometimes they are the excitement of watching compelling competitions. Sometimes they are illustrations of an athlete -- or a country -- overcoming personal or physical hurdles. At the end of the day, the Olympics offer us the chance to better understand other countries and cultures through the shared commonality of sports and the intersection of the human mind and body -- sports diplomacy at its most fundamental level.
About the Author: Lindsay Krasnoff is a historian in the State Department's Office of the Historian. Her academic research focuses on sports history.
This article is filled with information I never knew. I've been glued to my TV for the past week or so loving every minute of the Winter Olympic Games. For some reason I thought that they have been around for as long as the Summer Games. Now I know. Those black and white photos are such a huge difference compared to the high definition TV I am watching today. How things change over the years. My favorite events to watch are the downhill skiing. Those are just some amazing performers. Not sure why people are so into curling lately. The whole thing is just too slow for my taste. Thanks for the great read. Cheers!

Rumbleroller Deep-Tissue Massage Rollers
High-profile bumps are a distinguishing feature of RumbleRoller products. Those bumps aren't just the whim of a crazy designer, though. Their size, shape, spacing, and elasticity all contribute synergistically to their effect.
RumbleRoller products are carefully engineered to:
Only premium-quality materials are used to manufacture RumbleRoller products, and our company invests heavily in product development and quality control. This insures better product performance and durability, and that means better results for you.
Full-Size 31" or Compact 12"
If you plan to use your RumbleRoller in a single location -- e.g. at home -- you'll love the full-size model, because its extra length makes it more efficient for performing many exercises. It's long enough to roll the widest part of your back in one pass; you can roll both legs (quads, hamstrings, and/or calves) at the same time; and you can even transition from one IT band to the other without moving the roller. With the Compact RumbleRoller, you'll need to roll each leg separately, and will spend a little more time repositioning yourself between exercises.
The major advantage the Compact RumbleRoller has over the full-size model is its portability. At just 12" in length, it fits easily in your gym bag, backpack, or carry-on luggage. This makes it a favorite of many runners and triathletes who transport theirs from race to race. The Compact RumbleRoller's smaller diameter (5" vs. 6" for the full-size model) allows it to conform better to the curvature of some body parts, such as your neck. The Compact RumbleRoller also costs less than the full-size model, which may be important if your budget is limited.
Conventional Foam Rollers Compress Soft Tissue
Physical therapists, trainers, and athletes use foam rollers to relieve muscular pain and tightness (often called "adhesions", "knots", or "trigger points"). But conventional foam rollers have smooth surfaces that further compress soft tissue. Rolling on top of them improves blood flow and tissue flexibility, but the effect is limited and relatively superficial, unless you spend a lot of time rolling.
The RumbleRoller Manipulates Soft Tissue - Like a Massage Therapist!
The surface of the RumbleRoller contains specially designed bumps that are firm, but flexible, much like the thumbs of a massage therapist.
As you roll over the top of the RumbleRoller, the bumps continuously knead the contours of your body, gently stretching soft tissue (muscle and fascia) in multiple directions. This action erodes trigger points, helps restore flexibility, and brings quick relief to common types of muscular pain. By design, the RumbleRoller's bumps are firmer than muscle tissue, but much softer than bone, so they deflect out of the way if they contact your spine or other bony protrusions.
Through simple techniques, you can control the amount of pressure the bumps apply to your body. The bumps are closely spaced to one another (< 2" apart), so several of them simultaneously contact your body during most exercises. However, with a slight shift of your body, you can reduce your area of contact with the RumbleRoller, which increases pressure and provides deeper, more penetrating relief.
Add Another Dimension to Your Foam Roller ProgramThe RumbleRoller's massaging action can be further intensified by changing your movement from a back-and-forth rolling motion to a side-to-side rocking motion. That's because the RumbleRoller's bumps have an asymmetrical shape that allows them to flex more easily in one direction. During rolling movements (i.e. the most common roller exercises, with the roller moving beneath you), the bumps flex relatively easily, and provide a wiping-type massage pressure. However, if you rock from side-to-side toward the RumbleRoller's ends, the bumps are forced to flex in a direction in which they're designed to be somewhat stiffer. This creates a deeper "digging" pressure.

Civil Registration
- Introduction
- Finding civil registration records
- Information about Registration Services in Devon
- Obtaining birth, marriage and death certificates
- General Register Office Indexes
- Marriage Notice Books
The ancient system of recording baptisms, marriages and burials in church or chapel register was the only official way of recording a person's birth, marriage or death in England and Wales, before 1837. However, baptism was not compulsory, and with the rise of non-conformity, less babies were being baptised in the local parish church. The recording of all three events was not universal. By the early 19th century, there was concern that these important events were not being recorded for a significant proportion of the population.
Therefore new legislation was introduced, and on 1st July 1837, the recording of births, marriages and deaths began. The country was divided into Registration Districts, each under the control of a Superintendent Registrar. Each Registration District was divided into a number of smaller sub-districts.
In order to obtain the information which is held in these registers, you have to purchase a certificate. You cannot search the registers yourself. So, it is only for registered births, marriages and deaths from July 1837 that you can purchase a certificate. If a birth, marriage or death was not registered, you cannot obtain a certificate.
When civil registration was first introduced, it was the responsibility of these Registrars to see that births and deaths were registered in their own sub-districts. Each Superintendent Registrar gathered these records from the sub-districts and sent copies to the Registrar General in London, four times a year. This situation lasted until further legislation was introduced in 1874.
Births: note that parents were not bound to give birth information unless requested by the Superintendent Registrar. The percentage of live births which were registered was small at first, especially in crowded urban slums and in isolated rural districts, but increased over the decades. Some parents were not truthful about the date of birth, as they were supposed to pay a fee, if the registration was more than 6 weeks after the birth. Other parents continued to believe that baptism was a legal alternative, and all that was necessary, so they neglected to register their babies at birth. Since these babies were not registered at birth, you cannot obtain a birth certificate for them.
Birth Registrations - Special Notes: Children born before their parents were married should be searched for under both their mother's maiden name, and their father's name - in case the parents were living together under the pretence of having already married. Many illegitimate children were registered with their father's name as a middle name.
Up to 10% of marriages took place after the first or second child was born in the 19th century.
From 1837-1874, a mother registering an illegitimate child could name anyone as the father, without his permission or with him being present. This changed in 1874.
Marriages: from July 1837, marriages could finally take place in a local register office, instead of a church.
The Church of England, Jews and Quakers could conduct and register their own marriage ceremonies. Other denominations (Methodists, Baptists, Unitarians, etc.) had to apply for their chapels to be licensed to conduct marriages and could only conduct a ceremony there if a local Registrar was also present, in addition to the minister, to record the events in a Register Office marriage register.
This did not change till 1898.
A new type of marriage register was introduced in July 1837, to be completed for all marriage ceremonies. It required more details of bride and groom to be recorded, including the names and occupations of their fathers, if this was known. However a few Church of England ministers objected to the new form of marriage register, and refused to enter all of the additional details, which makes it difficult for today's researchers.
Two copies of the new type of marriage register were to be completed and signed by bride and groom – one was to be kept at the parish church, and the other was to eventually be deposited with the local District Superintendent Registrar.
From 1874, the newly introduced Births and Deaths Registration Act made registration compulsory, and the onus for registration of a birth was passed to the PARENTS, or the occupier of the house where a birth took place. Fines could beimposed on parents for late registration.
At the same time, the responsibility for recording a death was placed on a relation of the deceased. The registration had to be supported by a certificate signed by a doctor, and the death had to be registered within 5 days.
From 1929, the Marriage Act raised the age of marriage, with consent of parents, to 16 years.
Finding civil registration records
Records of all births, marriages and deaths registered since July 1837 used to be held at two locations – at the local District Register Office where the event was originally recorded, and also at the General Register Office, which was originally located in London. Each local Superintendent Registrar in charge of a District Register Office had gathered these records from the sub-districts and had sent copies to the Registrar General in London, four times a year. This is how the General Register Office compiled its collection of registration records for the whole of England and Wales. The General Register Office moved many years ago to Southport, Merseyside.
Both local District Register Offices and the General Register Office used to be able to supply certificates. However in recent years, many of the District Register Offices have closed, or have become Registration Offices which simply register current births, deaths and marriages, and therefore they no longer keep any historic registers. The historic registers have been sent to one local Register Office, which is centrally located, and which issues certificates for all births, marriages and deaths previously registered in the district register offices of that unitary authority or county.
The General Register Office and the local Register Offices therefore each have their own set of independent records and their own indexing systems.
Information about Registration Services in Devon
The historic county of Devon was divided into three separate local authorities in 1998.
Historic registers of birth, marriage and death for the part of Devon still administered by Devon County Council since 1998, are held by Devon Registration Service. These include registers for births and deaths and for marriages dating back to July 1837, but exclude records relating to the areas of Plymouth and Torbay.
Plymouth City Council and Torbay Council are unitary authorities, and since 1998, have not been part of Devon County Council. Each has responsibility for its own Registration Service and for the historic registers of birth, death and marriage in its own area.
Historic and current registers of birth, marriage and death for Torbay are still held at Torbay Register Office.
Historic and current registers of birth, marriage and death for Plymouth are still held at Plymouth Register Office.
In England and Wales, the public only has a right of access to the General Register Office indexes of births, marriages and deaths. To obtain information from the registers themselves, you have to buy a certificate.
Obtaining birth, marriage and death certificates
Obtaining certificates from the General Register Office
You may obtain a birth, marriage or death certificate from the General Register Office if you wish. If you do not know the exact date and place where the event took place it is best to search the General Register Office indexes to birth, marriage or death first. This index will supply reference details to enable you to order the correct certificate successfully either by telephone, online or by post, even if you do not know the exact date and place where the event took place.
Obtaining birth and death certificates from local Register Offices
If you wish to order a birth or death certificate for a person born in the historic county of Devon from a local Register Office, you firstly have to find out whether their place of birth now falls under Devon, Torbay or Plymouth, and then contact the correct office, as mentioned above on this page. Local Register Offices do not usually have indexes to their registers, so before a search of the records is made locally, you will usually need to provide the following information:
- full name of the person(s) included in the registration
- date of the event including day, month and year
- location of the event, for example, town or village
Obtaining marriage certificates from local Register Offices
Because a registrar had to be present at their chapels during a marriage, the pre-1898 marriages of Methodists, Baptists, Unitarians, etc., will appear in one of the local Register Office marriage registers.
However details of marriages which took place in a parish Church of England will only be available from a local Register Office, if a copy of the marriage register of that parish church has already been filled up, and deposited in that Register Office.
Most local Register Offices, including Devon Register Office, keep marriage records according to the place where the wedding was solemnized, and do not hold any indexes to marriages. They cannot supply a copy certificate from the reference number found in the General Register Office indexes. Unless you can supply the name of the church, chapel or register office, they need to search a number of registers to find any entry. You will therefore need, in these cases, to obtain a marriage certificate through the General Register Office instead.
Obtaining copies of marriage entries from a record office or heritage centre in Devon
For marriages which took place in a church or chapel from July 1837, a photocopy or digital copy of the marriage entry may often be made from the marriage register which was once at the church or chapel – should it have survived. This is not called a 'certificate' but is the most original version of a marriage entry which you will be able to obtain, and will include the original signatures of bride and groom. It will be less likely to include the transcription errors which sometimes occurred in the quarterly returns made for the General Register Office. Most Church of England marriage registers dating from 1837 are now deposited by law at a local county or city record office or history centre. Some (but not all) marriage registers of other denominations (Methodists, Baptists, Unitarians, etc.) are also at a local county or city record office or history centre, though not all have survived to be deposited. In Devon, some of these original marriage registers are held here at Devon Heritage Centre, or at North Devon Record Office or Plymouth or West Devon Record Office. A few are not deposited, and should still be held at the chapel or church to which they belong.
For a list of the marriage registers held at these three offices, and the dates which they cover, see the Parish Register List on this website.
Marriage certificates for Devon marriages performed at a register office, rather than in a church or chapel, can only be purchased from the General Register Office or the local Register Office holding the historic registers for that part of Devon. These registers are not deposited in a local county or city record office or history centre.
General Register Office Indexes
Information on where to find and search these indexes
General Register Office indexes to birth, marriage and death for England and Wales can be searched on-line through the Ancestry and Find My Past subscription websites. The indexes can also be found on the free volunteer-run website FreeBMD. The indexes on this free website are not yet complete, but 19th and early 20th century coverage is good, and each month more entries are gradually being added.
Free access to the above commercial genealogical websites is available at Devon Heritage Centre and at North Devon Record Office on our public access computers. Libraries and research centres in Devon also offer free access to either one or both websites.
For those who prefer to search the General Register Office indexes in microfiche format, it is believed that microfiche can still be found at the following Devon locations:
- Mormon Family History Centre, Wonford Road, Exeter (01392) 250723
- Devon Family History Society's Tree House Research Centre, King Street, Exeter (01392) 433212
- North Devon Athenaeum, Local Studies Centre, Tuly Street, Barnstaple (01271) 388607
- Plymouth Library's History Room, Drake Circus, Plymouth (01752) 305909
- Mormon Family History Centre, Mannamead Road, Hartley, Plymouth (01752) 668666
Other main libraries, genealogical research centres and record offices in other counties of England and Wales, and in overseas countries, also still hold microfiche copies of the General Register Office (GRO) indexes. You can use these too search for references before applying for certificates from the General Register Office at Southport, Merseyside.
An explanation of the information supplied in the indexes
Indexes to Births: The child's surname and first Christian name is given. Sometimes the full middle names are also given, but often only initials of middle names appear. From September 1911, the mother's maiden name is also included in the index.
Where a child was not named by the time of registration, it will be indexed under "male" or "female", followed by the surname.
Indexes to Marriages: Husband's and wife's names are not cross-referenced in the earlier original indexes up to December 1911, though online databases may have cross-referenced these, or may allow you to search for a matching spouse. It is otherwise necessary to look up both husband's and wife's names separately in the original indexes, and check that the reference number is the same, to be sure that you have found the correct marriage. From March 1912, the surname of the spouse is included i.e. when you look up the husband's name, you will also find the wife's maiden surname.
Indexes to Deaths: Early death indexes - those from July 1837 to March 1866 - record the name of the deceased only.
Indexes from March 1866 to March 1969 also give the deceased's age at death, and indexes from March 1969 also give the date of birth, if it was known by the informant who registered the death.
Marriage Notice Books
After the introduction of civil registration in July 1837, couples could marry in church if they so wished, but they also had the option of marrying in a licensed non-conformist chapel, with the registrar present, or in the register office.
In the case of a marriage in a chapel or the register office, a notice of the couple's intention to marry had to be displayed in the register office for three weeks prior to the wedding and the couple had to marry within three months of the notice being put up. A notice could also be displayed in the register office if the bride and groom were marrying in the parish church but one or both of them lived in a different registration district. One of the parties to the marriage had to reside for at least a week in the registration district before the notice was issued. If the bride and groom lived in different registration districts, the notice had to be displayed in both. The three week period was similar to reading the banns in church in that it gave time for anyone objecting to the marriage to come forward.
The notices were copied up into a register or marriage notice book, to make a permanent record, and objections had to be written in the register next to the relevant notice. The names of bride and groom were recorded, whether they were single or widowed, their occupation, their age and address, the length of time they had lived at that address, the place where the ceremony was to be performed and the registration district and county in which both parties lived.
Marriage notice books from Axminster and Tiverton Registration Districts in Devon were previously deposited in Devon Record Office (now Devon Heritage Centre), and those from Bideford and South Molton Registration Districts were deposited in North Devon Record Office.
Axminster Registration District's Marriage Notice Books dating from 1838 to 1876 were transcribed by Devon Family History Society as part of the Joint Small Projects scheme with the former Devon Record Office. These transcripts are available for purchase through the Devon Family History Society's Online Shop in booklet or pdf format.

Hey - you're only as old as you feel. And over the last twelve months, I have been made to feel all ages from a baby to a pensioner! One of my housemates compared me to her grandfather, and some of the people on the Visionaries group have talked about cartoons that they enjoyed that I caught on the way out of "cartoon age" - making me feel old. And another online friend has referred to her youngest son as her little baby, and he's a year older than me - making me feel like a baby - there's no way to win! AARGH!!!!!
The difference between genius and insanity is merely the difference between success and failure.

Topic: Rails vs Django
I apologize if this has been posted already (did a search and didn't find it), but I really am curious about the strengths and weaknesses of each framework. They seem to have similar philosophies, and I would love to use both. Here was a reply by one person to my question "What does Django offer "for free" that Rails doesn't?":
- Production-ready admin interface. It uses reflection rather than generated code. That way when you update your models/tables, all the admin forms show the new fields and stuff.
- Extensible authentication framework
(http://www.djangoproject.com/documentat ntication/)
- Internationalization (http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/i18n/)
- Extremely flexible URL design. This has been crucial for us designing a RESTful API, and makes it a snap to change how your app is arranged.
- Built in Syndication framework (http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/syndication/)
- Sitemaps framework (http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/sitemaps/)
- Cache framework (http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/cache/)
- Automatic generation of forms (http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/newforms/)
- In Django, a "view" is equivalent to a "controller" in rails. Many times these views are repetitive (list objects, edit objects, archive by date, pagination, etc). Django has something called "generic views" which allows you to get all this functionality for free, just
by configuring your URLs properly. (http://www.djangoproject.com/documentat ric_views/)
There's a ton of other stuff out there, like the Comments app, ContentTypes, all kinds of cool stuff. After using both Rails and Django, I see no reason to use Rails anymore. On top of the
frameworks themselves, Python as a language is much more mature and proven. Deploying django apps is a breeze. Rails, well, not so much (at least in my experience).
Not trying to start a religious war between the two frameworks, but I would really like to know if there is anything to it. Always the right tool for the job and I would like to know what jobs Django is good for.

So I was sitting at Wal Mart, eeking out my meagre living, listening to kids jumping and dancing over the cookie jars that talk when you open them. I could easily put it out of my mind, knowing that when I got home, I'd be watching Paul McCartney. So I get home, and what do I find? Heather playing with my nemesis, the damned 'stop, move away from the cookie jar' jar.
I enjoyed the rest of the show, but disliked the edits in songs. I hope that the DVD shows these songs complete. Also, it was a good chance for me to see what the band looked like in action, which was totally awesome. Abe Laboriel is just mad with those drums, Rusty is a better guitar player than I thought (and I thought he was bloody brilliant), and I liked Brian Ray's work, handling the two instruments with ease.
But poor poor Wix...did you see him during 'Can't Buy Me Love'? In the back behind the keyboard, in the dark, bopping all alone. Poor fella...

Dear Readers,
As Promoting Low Carbon Transport in India enters its second year, we are happy to report that we are beginning to make progress towards our goal: creating a policy environment that is conducive to building sustainable transport systems in India. In this second edition of our project newsletter, we focus on cities, with an examination of the issues surrounding sustainable transport planning, and the tools the project offers to meet those challenges. In particular, we look at Low Carbon Comprehensive Mobility Plans, which will be the focus of an upcoming capacity building workshop. In addition to news about our activities over the last year, this edition will also detail our plans for 2012, which include an assessment of the Indian transport sector, a framework for climate proofing transport infrastructure, and a study of Indian fuel efficiency policy, and continued capacity-building activities.
Articles in this newsletter include:
Launched in November 2010, Promoting Low Carbon Transport in India is a collaboration between the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Government of India and the International Climate Initiative of Germany (ICI).
We hope this second edition of our project newsletter will be useful and informative, and invite you to continue visiting our website for the latest news and events.
Yours Sincerely,
Rob de Jong,
Head, UNEP Transport unit.
Three-Day Training Session on Developing Low Carbon Comprehensive Mobility Plans in New Delhi
India Habitat Centre, New Delhi
A key element of Promoting Low Carbon Transport in India is the development of Low Carbon Comprehensive Mobility Plans (LCMPs) in up to four Indian cities. Building on the methodology used to prepare Comprehensive Mobility Plans (CMPs), a step-by-step approach is used to develop LCMPs. The first step is to understand future mobility demand and how it will be met if business-as-usual policies are followed. The next step uses four sustainable strategies-public transport, non-motorised transport, urban structure, and technological change-to simultaneously meet mobility needs and improve the environment, equity and safety. The final step is to evaluate if these strategies help achieve the goals of India´s overall climate strategy. If these sustainable strategies fall short of this vision, then a backcasting approach is used to identify additional necessary measures. So far, three cities, namely Visakhapatnam, Rajkot and Ludhiana have expressed interest in developing LCMPs.
City Missions
In December 2011, UNEP Risoe Centre (URC) carried out two city missions in collaboration with Indian partners. The first was to Visakhapatnam, a city located on the southeastern coast of India. Vizag, as it is popularly referred to, is the seventh largest city in India and has a population that is growing even faster than other Indian cities. As a result, there is an urgent need to expand urban infrastructure to meet residents´ mobility needs.
The LCMP approach is both timely and appropriate for Vizag. Led by Commissioner Sh. B Ramanjaneyulu, municipal authorities organised a city stakeholders´ meeting. URC and the Indian Institute of Technlogy (IIT), Delhi made a presentation illustrating the LCMP approach and answered questions from the audience. In the afternoon, discussions were held with the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) about the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between URC and GVMC. An agreement was reached and the MoU was finalised for executive approval. The MoU was subsequently signed by the commissioner on 23 February, 2012. A newspaper article on development of the LCMP for the city was published in the local paper. To view this article, please click on the link below:
The second mission was to Rajkot, a city located in the west of India. The city has a strong industrial base and is experiencing rapid growth. Lead by Commissioner Sh. Ajay Bhadoo, the municipal authorities organised a meeting of city stakeholders. URC and CEPT University in Ahmedabad made a presentation on the LCMP approach and answered questions from the audience. The stakeholders had already approved the MoU, which was then signed by the commissioner.

The aim of transport planning is to provide safe mobility for all. But in order to achieve this goal, transport planners must define who they mean by "all″and what their needs are. It is essential to consider the travel patterns of all city residents, regardless of their socio-economic group. This includes understanding where people live, work, go for recreation, etc.
An alternative planning paradigm is required for sustainable low-carbon transport systems. The key difference between conventional transport planning and this alternative approach is the priority the latter gives to people and environment. It takes into account the mobility needs of the diverse user groups in Indian cities. This requires viewing streets as public space, rather than as space dominated by private cars.
One of the common mistakes made in conventional transport planning today is conversion of general travel demand (comprising of all kinds of people, and utilizing all kinds of transport modes) into equivalent Passenger Car Units (PCU). Road width is then determined based on estimated PCU volume. Thus, road widening is seen as a solution to congestion. But in reality, congestion is a problem that mainly concerns car users who are a minority on Indian streets.
Indian city streets are filled with para-transit vehicles, bicycles and other non-motorized vehicles that share the streets with pedestrians. Cities have mixed land use patterns; there is a large disparity of income in the same geographical space. This situation calls for a different approach to urban transport planning.
Indian cities are also characterized by a large ' informal,´ but very active and productive population. Estimates show that 30 to 50 percent of residents in certain cities live in ' informal´ or ' illegal´ settlements. These populations fall outside the formal planning paradigm, and for all practical purposes are obliged to plan for themselves. Yet they are essential service providers and have a symbiotic relationship with the ' formal´ sector. Today´s planners must recognize this sector as an integral part of the urban landscape and include it in their plans.
Vendors, for example, are omnipresent in Indian streets, and for good reason. Vending activities are actually demand driven: vendors provide essential services to pedestrians, cyclists and people using
public transport. They´re indispensible and must be an integral part of any public transport system in India.
Transportation planning requires establishing a hierarchy where pedestrians and cyclists (the most vulnerable group) are at the top and car users at the bottom. To do this, planners need to assess the impact of their decisions on safety, socio-economic issues, and the environment. Among other things, transport planners need to change their fascination with speed. Instead of simply trying to reduce travel time by increasing speeds, planners need to develop ways of facilitating manageable speeds that meet the various criteria mentioned above.
In India, smaller cities manifest the highest use of low-carbon transport (walking, bicycles, and para-transit systems). However, low carbon modes do not disappear in medium-sized or even big cities. India´s current transport scenario is, in fact, substantially low-carbon. The challenge is to retain this share, and then, to increase it. In medium-sized cities, a large number of people use two-wheelers, which are highly flexible and cost-effective. In the future, motorized urban transport will be dominated by these two-wheelers, which will pose huge challenges for public and sustainable transport planners. The latter in India need to acknowledge this fact and devise a system that can compete with the mobility provided by two-wheelers. Urban planners and transport planners must work together to find a solution to this continuing challenge.
Laying the groundwork for the next phase of Promoting Low Carbon Transport in India, a three-day stakeholder´s consultation workshop was held in New Delhi, India from 18-20 October, 2011. The project´s preliminary results were shared with workshop participants, who also discussed sustainability indicators, assessments, and methodologies.

Using the results of an expert workshop held in Ahmedabad in August, 2011, as well as feedback from an online survey conducted in October, participants fine tuned sustainability indicators on both a macro and micro scale. Macro indicators will be used in conjunction with national scenarios, while micro indicators will be used at the city level by city managers and consultants. Participants employed a three-stage process that resulted in the identification of 17 macro indicators. The same results were also used to develop a final list of micro indicators that included modal shares, travel time, trip length, land use parameters, infrastructure quality, ease and comfort, safety, and security, among others.
Drawing a Roadmap
One of the presentations during the workshop was a low carbon transport assessment methodology based on an integrated modeling system. Two scenarios for this methodology were discussed. The "Conventional″ scenario followed the supply-side and climate-centric approach. The "Sustainable″scenario followed a development-centric approach that aligns climate stabilization measures with national development goals. Energy efficiency, modal shift, urban design and behavioral changes were important for both scenarios, though they were more present in the Sustainable scenario. In the Conventional scenario, nuclear energy and end-of-the-pipe solutions like Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) had greater impact.
Strategies for Reducing Emissions from Transport
Participants agreed that the methodology for city LCMPs contains several elements that need to be consistent with national level assessments, including technological choices, investment requirements, access and affordability. The challenge is to align local, national and global policies; short-term actions and long-term goals; and macro and micro perspectives.
Transport Interventions in India - Are They Sustainable?
The workshop examined recent transport interventions in India and how to measure their success in terms of sustainability. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems was the subject of one of these discussions, which looked at two different studies: a quick overview of the BRT experience in Indian cities, and a detailed assessment of BRT in Ahmedabad. The latter is in the process of being conducted through surveys of travel needs for the urban poor and other vulnerable groups. These surveys will be used to make recommendations for a better, more inclusive transport system.
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Systems in Indian Cities
The Delhi Metro, which was commissioned in 2002, is one of the most successful metro systems in India. Currently accounting for 4 to 5 percent of trips in the city, the metro benefits from various subsidies and tax exemption schemes, but still faces significant challenges. These include high capital, operational, and maintenance costs; displacement of households and businesses; and permanent structural changes (elevated metro) that impact the landscape.
By the end of the workshop discussions, it became clear that when analyzing a transport system, the needs and socio-economics of different urban communities must be taken into account. Other important issues include the disaggregated state of the urban transport sector in medium size cities, and the need to promote and implement sustainable transport systems in light of the fact that 75 percent of JNNURM phase 2 funding will be allocated to urban roads. Fortunately, there is a wide range of viable solutions for sustainable, low carbon transport in India. The challenge lies in promoting these solutions and making them a reality on the ground.
Project Brochure
2012 is a key year for Low Carbon Transport in India. The following reports and project results will be released:
The second largest contributor of CO2 emissions in India, the transport sector is also the country´s largest consumer of fossil fuels and is responsible for traffic congestion, air and noise pollution, road fatalities, among other impacts. This report assesses the Indian transport sector for the period spanning 2010 to 2050 for both business-as-usual and low carbon scenarios using an integrated modelling framework. The assessment employs scenario methodology for policy analysis and summarizes the scenarios using a number of sustainability indicators.
Transport infrastructures like roads, railways, ports, and undergrounds are all long-term assets, therefore understanding the impact of climate change on these assets in the long run is very important. This framework will help policy makers understand how changes in temperature, rainfall, sea level and other areas can impact transport infrastructure projects.
The objectives of this fuel economy study are to map current vehicle technologies and policy environment, and to conduct an analysis of future emissions from passenger and freight transport. The study will examine how technological characteristics can be influenced to move towards a sustainable transport system. These objectives will be achieved through:

good maca
Posted by Reviewer2851911 on Apr 04, 2010
Taste isn't as bad as many people say about maca. I eat it one teaspoon everyday. It really works. I'm going to order another one for sure.
Great value

My husband and I have started to take maca, have not yet seen any effects but we haven't taken it that long. I would like to lessen the pains from menstruation and ovulation and maybe increase my libido. A too big of a portion (more than one teaspoon) will cause stomach aches for me but not to my husband so you might want to try and increase the dosage step by step when start using maca. We really don't like to flavor or the smell and have difficulties in finding something to take the maca with which could disguise the quite unique taste. The big bag is a great value though!
love this!

Good flavor, excellent nutrition, better price.
Posted by Reviewer2463518 on Apr 11, 2010
I cannot say enough about this product. I use it in my smoothies and it's delicious. I use maca powder and raw chocolate cacao powder (amongst other things) and it tastes just like ovaltine
Good value

Much better value than in capsule form.

Heath Springs businessman Gary Horton has withdrawn from the November race for the Lancaster County Council District 6 seat.
Citing personal time constraints, Horton, owner of Horton Machine Shop, notified the Lancaster County Republican Party and the Lancaster County Voter Registration Office on June 5 that he was dropping out of the race.

Lancaster County Capital Sales Tax Commission members have begun parsing the details of public proposals and comments gathered over the past month that will help determine the future of the county's 1 cent capital project sales tax.

Lancaster City Council heard numerous requests at its Tuesday, May 27, meeting, ranging from giving furniture to a neighboring law enforcement agency to a chance for local residents to become homeowners.
Police Chief Harlean Howard approached council with a request to transfer used furniture from the Municipal Justice Center on Arch Street to the Pageland Police Department.
An unnamed company has the potential to bring significant investment and jobs to the county, though the exact nature of the company is still unknown.
During its May 19 meeting, Lancaster County Council discussed the preliminary framework for a fee agreement between the county and the company, which is currently only known publicly by the code name "Project L." The specifics of what the company manufactures or where it would be located were not discussed.

Repeat offenders, extreme case backlogs and limited court time all impact the way local criminal cases are handled, and each was up for debate May 21 during a forum for two candidates running for the 6th Circuit solicitor's seat.
Since April 1993, Lancaster Police Department officers have had some leeway in issuing "careless driving" tickets instead of a charge with more serious ramifications, but that policy came to a screeching halt at the Lancaster City Council meeting Tuesday, May. 14.
District 44 Rep. Mandy Powers Norrell's sexual assault education bill passed final reading in the S.C. House on Thursday, May 1. She posted the following message to Facebook after the vote.

Just because Lancaster County Council passed a measure to allow Mattamy Homes to build more than 800 houses on the 622-plus acres TreeTops property on Van Wyck Road doesn't mean it's a done deal.

Stocks Jump on Budget Optimism
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The major U.S. stock averages surged Wednesday on fresh hopes that the Democrats and Republicans will be able to work out a compromise during U.S. budget talks and avoid the fiscal cliff.
Both President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner made positive statements about the progress being made on Capitol Hill.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose nearly 107 points, or 0.83%, to close at 12,985, after having been down by more than 100 points earlier in the session. The blue-chip index, which ended a two-day losing streak, is now up 6.3% so far in 2012.
Breadth within the Dow finished very positive with winners ahead of losers, 27 to 3. Prominent gainers among the blue chips were Hewlett-Packard(HPQ) , American Express (AXP) , and Chevron(CVX) .
The biggest percentage losers were Boeing(BA) , Cisco(CSCO) , and DuPont(DD) .
The S&P 500 added 11 points, or 0.79%, at 1410, while the Nasdaq gained 24 points, or 0.81%, at 2992.
Every sector finished higher, led by conglomerates, consumer cyclicals, and services.
Apple (AAPL) shares, however, fell 0.31%. The iPhone maker reportedly fired William Richardson, the tech giant's senior director of iOS services, over the failure of its new Maps app. Richardson was fired before Thanksgiving, the report said.
Volume totaled 3.34 billion on the New York Stock Exchange, and 1.73 billion on the Nasdaq. Advancers ran ahead of decliners by a 2.3-to-1 ratio on the Big Board and 1.4-to-1 on the tech-heavy index.
BNP Paribas economists said in a note that "we remain optimistic that a deal will be reached before year-end that will defer the bulk of the fiscal cliff."
However, the BNP economists added that the base effects and ongoing uncertainty over the fiscal cliff and the near-term impact of Hurricane Sandy are likely to leave investment growth negative in the fourth quarter.
"After the fiscal cliff, it's going to be the debt ceiling, so there's always going to be these potential issues on our forefront ... there's always these continuing issues," said Brian Peery, co-portfolio manager at Hennessy Funds. "So I think right now the American public is just so disappointed that they're acting more like children than like Congressmen and I think if we can just turn that situation around and have our politicians looking really for our best interest as a country, I think everybody will feel a lot better about it."
The Census Bureau reported Wednesday that new-home sales fell to an annual pace of 368,000 in October from a downwardly revised 369,000 in September. Economists were expecting new-home sales of 390,000 in October.
BNP Paribas economists noted that October's 32% decline in the Northeast was likely a result of Hurricane Sandy's disruptions at the end of the month, and offset by a 62% jump in sales in the Midwest, as the South and the West experienced smaller movements in the month.

The Future for Social Work in Juvenile and Adult Criminal Justice
Critical contemporary issues in juvenile and adult criminal justice are identified followed by an examination of particular issues for social workers, including the increase in incarceration, the over representation of people of color, and the numerous negative effects on children. The various roles for social workers in the criminal justice systems are presented and discussed. The paper also addresses the decline of social work professionals in the criminal justice systems and why it is imperative that the pattern be reversed now that there is growing interest in the rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders.

Home >> Perfect Fit Blinds >> Blinds Measuring Motto… "Measure Twice… Buy Once!"
Everyone makes mistakes! We've been measuring and installing blinds for 20 years now, and occasionally a blind is mis-measured! For us, there's nothing more displeasing than a blind not fitting when we visit a customer to install – firstly, it's not the smooth experience that our customers have come to appreciate, and secondly, it's costly for us!
It may sound corny but our motto here is "Measure twice…. Make once"! Kathryn, the owner of the business, insists that all measurements are double checked.
When ordering made to measure blinds online via NewBlinds.co.uk, it is critical that you measure your window correctly. Since our made to measure blinds are manufactured specifically to your requirements – sizes, fabric colour, we unfortunately can not accept returns if you have measured or ordered the blind incorrectly.
When we receive your order it is processed and then sent to our manufacturing team. Once they receive your order they will create your blinds from raw materials such as fabric and head rail. Each component is cut down to match your specification. If you were to ask to return the product after we have made it we would have to refuse as we would have no use for it - it is specially made for your window and to suit your tastes!
So, we recommend that you adopt our mantra for yourself…. Measure twice…. BUY once!
When measuring your window it is best to follow our instructions to ensure you measure correctly and avoid any complications later on. Perfect Fit blinds are measured differently so we have a different set of instructions specifically for them.
If you are purchasing a large number of blinds and are not confident in your measurements, we recommend ordering a "test" blind, so that not to much is lost if you get it wrong. Alternatively if you are local to us we can offer a full survey and quotation service free of charge.
If you don't live locally, and have any queries, you can give us a call on 0161 367 9013 or ask a question below in the comment section
Our measuring instructions for made to measure blinds can be found here. Perfect Fit Blinds measuring instructions can be found here. And remember, "Measure Twice…. Buy Once"!!

Hey Everyone!
Thanks for coming to watch my film, all who were there last Sunday! It's gonna be screened again in the cafe every evening at 5pm from Sun 20th-Wed 23rd March, so if you didn't catch it, wanna see it again to refresh your memory of what you saw, or know of anyone who hasn't seen it who wants to... there's your opportunity. I have also left a copy at Old Hat Books, so you can borrow it from there whenever you like:-)
As mentioned at the screening, I made this film largely for an audience that may not know that places like The Forest exist – may not have come across the idea of organising 'non-hierarchically', and might have questions about how an 'autonomous' community operates. But I also envisaged that it may be a good opportunity to spark off discussion amongst ourselves about how we run/operate internally and in relation to others, etc.
I was really happy that the post-screening discussion brought up a lot of topics that I thought might come up – but it was more a forum for bringing issues out in the open, rather than it being the place to continue discussion or have any questions satisfactorily answered.
That's what I'd like us to do here...
To jog people's memory ever so quickly, here are a few things that came up:
The Forest 'Barring' process – collective 'values', and how they are enforced.
Behaviour in meetings – how non-hierarchical are we? How much does it matter?
Money and transparency, money and how it's spent (and who gets a say in that)
How we communicate our 'mission' and our organisational structure (and how to get involved) to people who may not yet know.
And probably lots more, but I don't have my notes on me at the moment...
So who's gonna start us off?

Q: What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
A: Last year, while on vacation in Costa Rica, I went on a zip-lining adventure through the rainforest. I was over 350 feet from the ground and it truly felt like I was flying. At a speed of over 60 mph, it was a thrilling and unforgettable experience that I would love to do again one day!
Q: Do you cook and/or bake anything? If so, what are your special dishes?
I love to cook and bake! I come from a big Italian family so my favorite things to make are homemade cannolis and pasta! My baby sister is the "real" chef!
Q: If you were handed 10 million dollars, what would you splurge on?
A: I would save enough money to pay for the college tuition for my sisters and myself. I would buy something special for my parents, a house on the ocean where they could enjoy sunsets. I'm not really a materialistic person, however I would probably splurge on matching diamond bracelets for my sisters and me!
Q: If you could meet one celebrity, who would it be and why?
A: I would love to meet Oprah Winfrey! Ever since I was a little girl I have always wanted to be just like Oprah and have my own talkshow. I would love to pick her brain about all of her successes and how she got started in the entertainment industry!
Q: What is unique about you (something no other contestant can say about themselves)?
A: As a child, I walked with my feet turned inwards. Very few people know that my feet are the reason I am in this pageant today. I had surgery when I was a little girl to correct them, and after that my mother enrolled me in runway school to get my brain to remember to walk straight. I ended up doing my first pageant and won! Ever since then, I have never looked back and my crazy feet are the reason I have made it this far!

Already four weeks into the school year, and I have a couple juicy tidbits to share with you, Dear Readers, about Principal Man and his Merry Band of Idiots.
First off, under a new schoolwide policy decreed by PM, our faculty has been ordered to "Wag more, and bark less!" I think he even included a smiley face in his back-to-school memo. Along the lines of the Ladybug Inservice, which was so juvenile and embarrassing to all concerned that I've only touched on it once in this space.
The new attitude infusing the halls of Our Humble High School really fit into my lesson plans until I was jumped (only in the figurative sense of the word, praise the Lord!) by our new Director of Student Services (that would be the person who bosses the guidance counselors around) for, in her words, "attempting to determine student schedules."
Rehashing the whole sordid tale, which thankfully only took place via e-mail, would bore you to tears, but here's the freeze-dried version. My yearbook editor wanted to switch into my AP Lang class. I said, basically, "Fine with me. I've got 32 cherubs already crammed into 2nd period, which is a tad overwhelming for 7:30 in the a.m., but if you can find a seat, I don't mind."
You see? I was trying to go along with the program. I'd say my response to the child definitely smacked of wagging, and not one little ol' bit of barking, correctamundo?
Well, little Miss I'm in Charge of Student Schedules pretty much busted a gut when she found out how pleasant I'd been. She basically staged a technological meltdown. I could see steam (figuratively, Dear Readers) coming out of my laptop when I clicked on her electronic missive to moi. Which she copied Principal Man on, natch.
I'm in charge, you're not, how dare you. That kinda thing. After attempting four drafts of a civil response, I settled on a polite but firm reply. In my 16+ years in charge of Room 215, I've never attempted to change a student's schedule. Nor could you pay me big bucks to be a guidance counselor. No sir, missy. Not goin' there in a heartbeat.
Of course, our Principal is a Man who often finds himself drowning in a flood of fools, so I guess I should have expected what happened the following week. I had no sooner put out one brush fire than I had to man the water canons once again.
PM decided this year to locate his four minions ~ known to the school population as Assistant Principals ~ in more visible office space throughout the building. Makes sense, I guess; more visibility from those in charge equals fewer disruptions to "instructional time." Fewer fights, less theft, quieter hallways. I'm all in favor of that.
Well, in all his ultimate wisdom, The Man with the Plan located one of the APs, as they're known, in a space across the hall from my Journalistas. As in the cherubs who attend Camp Kumbaya each year about this time.
The shot above shows my new neighbor's door, with its officious sign and its happy fall door dec (she previously supervised smelly 13-year-olds in a middle school), along with the reflection of my journalism computers. Yup, we're that close.
In my defense, I tried to make friends. She's new to our school, and she's older, and I figured I'd get on her good side by getting to know her. Well, a certain level of detente did exist, until she started questioning my cherubs and their motives, for goodness' sake.
A newspaper editor stepped out in the hallway ~ it's about a 5-second journey, I assure you ~ to get a drink from the water fountain.
"Where's your pass?"
Yours truly scurried down the hall (about 50 feet) between lunches to nuke her Chinese carry-out in the faculty microwave. Our new AP buddy sticks her nose into my classroom.
"Where's your teacher?" (Yes, I leave them alone sometimes for short stretches, like lunch or when I gotta go. It's not like they're playing with power tools, although they have been known to crawl out the window, on occasion.)
Then, my cherubs ~ at 3:45 in the afternoon, mind you, almost two hours after the final bell ~ were having a little fun while cobbling together the first deadline of the year. General guffawing, music blaring and all that jazz.
"Guys, could you please keep it down! This is a school!" Oh, sorry...we hadn't noticed.
In the meantime, miscreants in other quarters of the campus have vandalized both the baseball field and the football stadium; backpacks are disappearing from the gym locker rooms and there was a near-riot at a recent home football game when someone from the visitor's side deigned to walk through our senior section. OK, I'm exaggerating on the last one, but I think you get my drift.
Sounds like PM and his BOIs should wag their little bee-hinds over to the communal hydrant of bad behavior in our school, and stop peeing all over the good folks. I know one little doggy, though, whom I'd like to muzzle.

About the Danelectro Cool Cat Drive pedal
The Danelectro Cool Cat Drive is a good looking, retro overdrive pedal that responds just like a valve amp would; low end/mids increase with gain – saturating and fattening the overdrive. Knock back the drive, keep the volume up, and the sound cleans up to a driving rhythm crunch that's good and solid for those nice crunching chords. Beside the usual controls, the Danelectro Cool Cat Drive has an Input Sensitivity trimpot that allows the user to customise the drive to suit the output of their guitar – match it to single coil or humbucker output levels for optimum response. It also has a "Lo Fi" DIP switch so that you can choose a second frequency range for a increasingly raw and unrefined drive tone.
