Rude Experience Spoiled Mother's Day
Original post made by Ram Dawani, Sycamore Place, on May 13, 2012
Today I had a very rude experience - I was shopping with my mother in law at one of the retail stores. An old lady was being a bit rude to my mother-in-law and soon she told us to "go back to your country". When I told her this is my country too - she asked me to prove it and threatened to call the police. I told her to be my guest and that we will wait right there for them.
Anyways, she left never to come back.
I believe Pleasanton is a great city and I've never had this experience in my life before. I will chalk this down to a random incident by a random person - there are odd balls all over the world- and not a reflection on our wonderful city. However, it did spoil the wonderful mother's day I was hoping to provide my M-I-L.

So sorry to hear that. I feel your pain as I too have been a victim of discrimination all my life even though I was born in this country. I am Asian American but still get treated like a foreigner because of the color of my skin. I wish I could be more optomistic and tell you it was an isolated incident, but it is what a lot of caucasians feel. This lady just happened to be more vocal about it.

Well, if it makes you feel better I allowed a Chinese family to cut in front of me at Costco today because they had no clue as to proper etiquette in standing in line one at a time. I just stood back and smiled...

Sorry to hear about your incident at the mall. I'm curious: You didn't mention what prompted the "old lady" at the mall to speak to your mother-in-law in the first place. Anyway, mental illness is more common than many people believe, so please don't let it ruin your day. She's the one with a serious problem, not you.

Pleasanton at it's finest! I'm surprised this is the first time that has happened. Pleasanton is the most conservative, uptight and pro american city I've ever lived in. Yes, I am looking to sell my home and leave this place. The people of San Jose are more accepting and polite to all!

Please keep in mind that this woman may be suffering from Dementia. My now deceased Aunt was like this and it wasn't until years later that we realized she had been in a state of decline for quite some time. I am so sorry you went through this.

How about accepting that she was just racist? Is that so far fetched? Do all racist people have dementia or what?

Its easy to judge based on a one sided story about those awful racist white people all over Pleasanton. No mention of what led up to this alleged confrontation, so the writer must be a victim of those terrible pro American people in Pleasanton.
Maybe the solution is to do what Chris suggested and move to wonderful, tolerant San Jose where there is no questioning who squats next to your home. I'm sure it's great, once you get used to those violent, Mexican gangs. Oh, tolerance.....

Mittens, you are racist and dont even know it. I am not sure what country (or planet) you live in, but America IS a land of immigrants, starting from the first English settlers and on. Anti- immigrant is about as anti-American as you can get.

The Native Americans, mistakenly called "Indians" by Europeans who did not know any better, were here for thousands of years.
But they are now a good example of what can happen to your culture if you do not have good controls on immigration.

I will agree with others about having a family member who has dementia. My own mother raised all of us kids to accept others for who they are rather than the color of there skin or their cultural heritage. However, as her dementia progresses I am constantly "on edge" about what is going to come out of her mouth. I find myself apologizing to others for things that she says to complete strangers that are very rude and hurtful. I love my Mom, but I don't have any more days with her where we can spend the time shopping together as this disease robs her mind.
Obviously I don't know if this "old woman" had dementia or not, but I am sorry that this experience was hurtful but hope it didn't really ruin your day. I am sure your M-I-L enjoyed the time you spent together and that is what counts.

Kind of hard to have an opinion on the matter when the facts presented were very vague.
How did this start? How did this evolve? What were the circumstances?

I don't get it. Every red-blooded American should have the right to question anyone they think might be in this country illegally. For those questioned, well, that's the price of freedom. It's especially important that police can question anyone who looks suspicious -- you know, like having brown skin or wearing a turban. Studies show that the more police and other people can inquire about others' legality the more likely illegals and suspected illegals will be to call police or cooperate with them. This is just good American common sense. It's worked really well in Arizona. Next time Obama visits, I expect I'll ask him to verify his citizenship.

To Asian Anonymous,
You have been discriminated all your life for being Asian in the Bay Area? Please...all us white people go around assuming you are fresh off the boat just because you are Asian? If someone doesn't like you or if you are shunned by others it is probably because you are a jerk...there are jerks in every race. As a white person who grew up in Hawaii as a minority, I faced racial remarks all the time (some of them from Asians) but I don't think all Asians are racist. Get over yourself and look inward....you might not like what you see if you are honest. Everyone is so sensitive.....an old lady makes a comment and people let that affect them all day? I assure you that most people in Pleasanton are not racist. Either she had dementia or she is a jerk (or both).

RESPECT FOR THE COUNTRY ONE IS IN. YOU DONT COME HERE CHANGE CUSTOMS OR IMPOSE YOUR VAUES OR LACK THERE OF, ON OUR PEOPLE. LET ME GIVE YOU AN EASY ONE. I DONT HAVE TO MENTION RACE FOR EVERYBODY TO KNOW WHAT GROUP OF PEOPLE I AM SPEAKING ABOUT, WHEN I SAY THESE FOLKS FLAT OUT SUCK AT DRIVING ON OUR ROADS. AND THEN THERES A FEW GROUPS WHO FOLLOW A CLOSE SECOND AND THIRD PLACE IN TERMS OF CURTIOUS AND SAFE DRIVING HABBITS. WHY YOU ASK ? BECAUSE THEY HAVE BROUGHT THEIR HOMELAND DRIVING SKILLS WITH THEM, AND REFUSE TO RESPECT OUR WAYS. THIS IS NOT RACIST, THIS IS FACT. THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG IN REGAURDS TO RESPECTING AMERICANS AND OUR WAY OF LIFE. THE OTHER DAY I HAD A CERTAIN GROUP OF PEOPLE PUSH THEIR WAY THROUTH THE GROUP I WAS WITH. NO EXCUSE ME, NO POLITE SHUFFLING AROUND TO BE ACCOMODATING, FLAT OUT PUSH US OUT OF THE WAY. WHEN YOU THINK OF THIS, THINK OF THIRD WORLD VALUES ANYWHERE.again i wasnt there and didnt see any of it, i only know what i do see. so ask yourself "did i respect / and act in the way a prudent, law abidding citizen of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WOULD have behalved or did i act in the way i would have acted in the country i have fled" ? REMEMBER THERE IS A REASON YOU ARE HERE AND NOT THE COUNRTY YOU FLED . THANKS , AND GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY 13 EXCLAMATION PIONTS ? WHY IS 13 IMPORTANT TO AMERICAN HISTORY ? IF YOU DONT KNOW, THAT MIGHT BE WHERE THE PROBLEM IS. KNOW OUR COUNRTY IS TO LOVE OUR COUNTRY. BY THE WAY YOU CAN FIND 13 IN EVERYTHING TRULY AMERICAN. DONT BELIEVE ME, START WITH THE DOLLAR BILL IN YOUR POCKET AND HOW IT GOT THERE.

I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY with CALL IT LIKE IT IS. Americans are the most polite and least pushy people in the WHOLE WIDE world (with the exception of a certain president who's in over his head, way over his head, who's very pushy and inconsiderate).
Americans are most beloved all over the world because we -- and by we I mean those of use who were born here -- are so humbly civil, patient and polite at air ports and train depose. I intend to give a lengthy speech on this, drawing upon my extended public speaking skills.

Steve, I never said all caucasians are racist, but you cant deny that there are caucasian racists, as there are asian racists (but not all asians are racist). And as far as my experience goes, yes I can say that some people have slighted me because I was a "jerk" and some people have been rude to me because they were racist.
So again, why is it that the old lady must have been provoked or crazy to say such a thing? Why not admit that there exists the possibility she was just racist?

Anonymous, what's your point? As far as I can tell, all you're saying is this:
Some Caucasians are racist.
Some Caucasians are not racist.
Some Asians are racist.
Some Asians are not racist.
Some people slighted you because you were a "jerk".
Some people slighted you not because you were a "jerk".
Some people slighted you because they were racist.
Some people slighted you but not because they were racist.
The old lady may have been a racist.
The old lady may not have been a racist.
The old lady may have been a jerk.
The old lady may have been Caucasian racist.
The old lady may have been an Asian racist.
Etc., etc, etc, ..............
Thanks for clearing things up for us.

There are always more than one possible explanation and most of us always jump to the one. I am happy to receive other perspectives that I gained through this post - including medical conditions that may cause such a behavior.
After a few days of this episode, I almost laugh at this incident. As long as I'm secure in my identity and my belonging to this community, I shouldn't let it affect me.
I'm happy that our community has places like PleasantonWeekly, where we are able to raise our voices and share our ideas freely. Afterall, thats is one of the things that makes this country great!

The elderly woman might have been so rude because of being frustrated with how rude she was treated by newly immigrated Asian. Asians who have lived here for awhile I find just as nice as the next person, but I have noticed a huge amount of newer Asian immigrants walking around with an attitude that we are inferior or that we are beneath them. It is very upsetting when we open up our country for them to come here to make a better life for themselves. If we are so inferior, our schools are so inferior then go back to your home and be happy there with your "superior" countrymen.

Honestly, the author doesn't like labels yet she has no problem judging the other person an labeling her as an "old" lady. Not labeling or judging needs to go both ways. Doing this makes the author look no better than the other party involved. I like diversity including our wise population that have lived a few years more than me.

Lookin' good - thanks for posting the pics We're rootin' for ya
Excellent idea using a 1919 spring
I'm moving along on the MG47 but had some questions. I got the FT mounted and removed the mousetrap spring in the cover and drilled and tapped the stud for a stop i made no other mods to the TC started feed testing with a ak spring clamped in the rec. i was able the back out the stop screw about an 1/8" and it will chamber a bullet every time so should i skip the other mods to the TC for now or do you think i'm going to have prob. down the road.
If it chambers, i'd say go with what you got. My TC is located back further in relation to the trunnion than yours, and all those TC mods I did may be unnecessary. That would be a big breakthrough. Have you been doing any belt-feed tests? Or only chambering?
I'm sure SS will have some input on this
Only chambering from a belt, but the TC is definatly grabbing and stabalizing the belt so i see no reason it wont feed the belt. I will work on the BC extention next so i can test cycle the whole system. I also think i left a little more of a stub on the pressure plate than in the other pics i've seen and even condidered heating and bending it a little more to help guide the bullet cause at first it was feeding to high and jamming then i just kept unscrewing the stop and it fed so i did it 3-5 more times to make sure it wasnt a fluke and it worked. I'll post some more pics soon.
I would have to agree with CNTR, if it chambers, go with it. I bent the stub on the pressure plate quite a bit on the MG47ES so the tip of it is even or just below the feedramp on the trunion. I also ground a groove in it to help keep the cartridge centered in the FT slot. I did not install a stop screw like CNTR but was considering it until I got the right combination of AR-15 Trigger spring pressure by bending it to replace that way to strong MG3/1 pressure plate spring. The ES chambers and feeds fine now from the belt, just spent half a day getting it to do that. I think CNTR's stop spring might be easier and more tunable but the the original MG47 works with a AR spring and no stop screw. I might install a stop screw anyway and try them both to see if one method is more reliable than the other.
Last edited by SHARPSSHOOTER5090; 04-01-2008 at 08:41 AM. Reason: Added bending the pressure plate tip to feedramp
Test firing the MG47ES today. Will post results and show a picture of it. Details to follow if test firing is successful.
Even if your test firing is only some what successful (feed or eject issues, these are minor issues and just need tweeking) please post some details & pics.
I've done some work on mine and it's ugly, I'm still going to finish it as I think it will still function, but Im going to need to redo the receiver later.
Thanks for the update
The MG47ES almost worked but the bolt was hanging up at the rear of the stroke because I had the feed roller just off of center enough (not supposted to be, just sloppy workmanship) to bind in the feed came at the rear of the stroke. I didn't realize what was happening until I way on my way home. Got it fixed now and will try it again next weekend. I think it should work, got plenty of rearward travel and if I just gave the BC a slight nudge forward it would feed fine. I clued in on it when I realized I couldn't open the top cover when the BC was at the rear. Moved the feed roller to where it should be and there is no binding and I can open the top cover with the BC held at the rear.
The ES is easier to build than the MG47 and should allow a whole new group of builders an opportunity to make a belt feed. As soon as I am sure it is working fine with no feed or ejection problems I will post pictures and details.
Did shoot the MG47 and it performed flawlessly. No miss feeds, use my drum magazine, ejected great. My son can shoot it almost as fast as a full auto. Really happy with it. I am sure I can get the ES to perform the same. I will try to post the pictures of the MG47 shooting as soon as I get them downloaded from the video camera.

Diversity isn't aided by calling the state spruce a "holiday tree"
This performance has its origins in a public embarrassment last December, after the governor of Rhode Island decreed that the majestic blue spruce standing in the State House rotunda would be referred to as a "holiday tree"—on the grounds that calling it by its obvious name would be an affront to diversity. …
In short, Mr. Chafee has proffered the traditional gift of the enlightened class. A joyous ceremony was transformed into an occasion of acrimony and division. The decision was justified with an addled reference to religious liberty. And the American people were again reminded of the apparent inability of so many of our bluest bloods to distinguish between upholding religious pluralism and enforcing anti-religion.
Now, the Christian faith does not hang on whether the official evergreen of Rhode Island is called a Christmas tree. What does hang on it, says Eric Rassbach of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, is the long-standing American understanding of the proper relationship between government and religion. Mr. Rassbach notes the irony here: The tolerant and diverse society Mr. Chafee claims to champion is ill-served by a government that reads "no establishment of religion" as mandating official hostility toward even innocuous religious expressions of its citizenry.

What we can learn from the Joe the Plumber episode; Update: AOL Hot Seat Poll Added
posted at 11:05 pm on October 16, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
Honestly, I'm rather surprised that Joe Wurzelbacher and his rope-line dialogue with Barack Obama has managed to stay in the news for as long as it has. I knew when I first heard the exchange that it went badly for Obama. I didn't expect Joe the Plumber to be the main topic of the last presidential debate. And I certainly didn't expect Obama supporters to keep the story alive by their rabid character assassination of a man who did nothing more than ask a question — at random.
Now, we have people crawling over his tax records, his voter registration, his professional licensing, and whatever else they can find in the public record. Someone has linked him to the long-deceased Charles Keating, suggesting that somehow Obama managed to pick a McCain plant out of a ropeline full of people by accident. How much longer before a certain blogger at The Atlantic demands a paternity test to see if Joe the Plumber fathered Sarah Palin's baby — or Bristol's, for that matter?
There is a stench of desperation surrounding this, as if they sense defeat coming from a moment of honesty from Obama about his real intentions to institute a regime of redistribution. They want to discredit the man who only asked the question as if he's some political operative who magically forced Obama to sound … well, a little like a Marxist. Why? They want to distract people from Obama's answer by sliming the man Obama picked at random to ask a question.
And where's the Tanning Bed Media on this topic? Danny Glover lays it out:
Jonathan Martin of The Politico was among the first out of the gate, with blog posts noting that Wurzelbacher, affectionately known by most of America as "Joe The Plumber," has a tax lien against him and doesn't have a plumber's license. Martin conveniently forgot to mention that the law doesn't require one.) Bloomberg also has a story on the tax lien, and AP and The Washington Post did their part to make a story out of the "unlicensed" non-story.
Expect more of the same over coming days. In fact, don't be surprised if all of those investigative reporters sent to Alaska after John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate suddenly get reassigned to the plumber beat in flyover country. Joe The Plumber must be discredited at all costs! …
But why is it that political reporters only get curious when a conservative Joe America storms onto the scene? Why aren't they just as curious when liberals trot out, say, a 12-year-old boy to give a national radio address?
It has been almost a year to the day since journalists dropped the ball on telling America more about Graeme Frost, the boy who made the case for sinking billions of dollars more into the State Children's Health Insurance Program. But when Michelle Malkin and other curious conservative bloggers did the legwork the press wouldn't, they earned the scorn of their mainstream colleagues.
Indeed. And Joe Wurzelbacher didn't give a speech or make a commercial. He asked a question. He stood on a rope line, and Obama picked him to ask it. The Tanning-Bed Media seems to feel that they have a duty to expose every last part of Wurzelbacher's life, but that asking Obama to explain his political partnerships with Tony Rezko and William Ayers, and his long friendship and financial support of rabid demagogues Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger, are not just out of bounds but downright racist.
So what have we learned from this episode?
- Thou shalt not offend The One by asking him a question. Of any kind.
- Anyone who questions The One will have to undergo a public pillorying of a kind unseen since the Red Scare, or perhaps the Inquisition.
- The Tanning-Bed Media will happily participate in any inquisition, as long as it keeps them from investigating irrelevant issues like Obama's ties to the Chicago Machine, William Ayers, ACORN, or his record on protecting infanticide.
Don't ask questions. Don't check the records of people running for political office, but do check the records of those who dare violate Rule #1. No dissent will be tolerated. Our political and media masters have spoken.
I only ask one favor of the Left and the media: please keep this story alive for another three weeks. I can't wait to read Michelle's column tomorrow.
Update & Bump: I've added the AOL Hot Seat Poll to this post, and bumped it to keep in near the top for today's Top Picks.

Please perform a formulary drug search on your patient's member ID to ensure the prescription drug is covered under their benefit plan. The medication(s) in this medical policy may not be covered under a specific member's benefit plan.
DESCRIPTIONIn vitro and in vivo animal studies have shown that cromolyn sodium inhibits the release of mediators from sensitized mast cells. Cromolyn sodium acts by inhibiting the release of histamine and leukotrienes from the mast cell. Gastrocrom is indicated in the management of patients with mastocytosis. Use of this product has been associated with improvement in diarrhea, flushing, headaches, vomiting, urticaria, abdominal pain, nausea, and itching in some patients.
POLICYGastrocrom is considered medically necessary for individuals who have a clinical diagnosis of cutaneous or systemic mastocytosis.
POLICY EXCEPTIONSGastrocrom prior authorization is not required for Federal Employee Program (FEP) and State Health Plan members.
The coverage guidelines outlined in the Medical Policy Manual should not be used in lieu of the Member's specific benefit plan language.
Medically Necessary is defined as those services, treatments, procedures, equipment, drugs, devices, items or supplies furnished by a covered Provider that are required to identify or treat a Member's illness, injury or Nervous/Mental Conditions, and which Company determines are covered under this Benefit Plan based on the criteria as follows in A through D:
A. consistent with the symptoms or diagnosis and treatment of the Member's condition, illness, or injury; and
B. appropriate with regard to standards of good medical practice; and
C. not solely for the convenience of the Member, his or her Provider; and
D. the most appropriate supply or level of care which can safely be provided to Member. When applied to the care of an Inpatient, it further means that services for the Member's medical symptoms or conditions require that the services cannot be safely provided to the Member as an Outpatient.
For the definition of Medically Necessary, "standards of good medical practice" means standards that are based on credible scientific evidence published in peer-reviewed medical literature generally recognized by the relevant medical community, and physician specialty society recommendations, and the views of medical practitioners practicing in relevant clinical areas and any other relevant factors. BCBSMS makes no payment for services, treatments, procedures, equipment, drugs, devices, items or supplies which are not documented to be Medically Necessary. The fact that a Physician or other Provider has prescribed, ordered, recommended, or approved a service or supply does not in itself, make it Medically Necessary.
Investigative is defined as the use of any treatment procedure, facility, equipment, drug, device, or supply not yet recognized as a generally accepted standard of good medical practice for the treatment of the condition being treated and; therefore, is not considered medically necessary. For the definition of Investigative, "generally accepted standards of medical practice" means standards that are based on credible scientific evidence published in peer-reviewed medical literature generally recognized by the relevant medical community, and physician specialty society recommendations, and the views of medical practitioners practicing in relevant clinical areas and any other relevant factors. In order for equipment, devices, drugs or supplies [i.e, technologies], to be considered not investigative, the technology must have final approval from the appropriate governmental bodies, and scientific evidence must permit conclusions concerning the effect of the technology on health outcomes, and the technology must improve the net health outcome, and the technology must be as beneficial as any established alternative and the improvement must be attainable outside the testing/investigational setting.
POLICY HISTORY01/01/2014: New policy added.
07/20/2015: Code Reference section updated for ICD-10.
05/26/2016: Policy number L.5.01.430 added. Policy Guidelines updated to add medically necessary and investigative definitions.

text: Episode #47 of the Manleywoman SkateCast is up. David Jenkins won the bronze in the 1956 Olympics, gold in the 1960 Olympics, as well as winning three World Championships and four US titles. He was an amazing jumper in his day, truly one of the few skaters doing triples at all, and was the first person to figure out how to land a triple axel (see the 1957 video here on YouTube). He talks about training with his brother Hayes Jenkins (1956 Oly Champ), how he loathed figures, and his insanely sparse training schedule. Listen via the iTunes Store or from my website. There is also a contest with this podcast: a lucky listener can win a private box to Skate For Hope in Columbus, OH on June 18, 2011, which raises tens of thousands of dollars each year for breast cancer research and prevention. The box fits six people, so you can bring your five closest skating buddies. The cast is amazing and includes: Ryan Bradley, Johnny Weir, Rachel Flatt, Yankowskas/Coughlin, Emily Hughes, and Sarah Hughes as emcee. Details o how to enter are here. Please spread the word about the giveaway to friends everywhere. Every ticket from Skate For Hope contributes $$$ to Breast Cancer research, and its a great event, so even if you don't win, I hope you can buy tickets to go. Also, please let me know about the sound quality of the interview. This is the second one I've done from my laptop at home: for some reason when I listen to it initially after it's mixed down it sounds perfect, but when I convert it to an MP3, it sounds tinny, at least to me. This doesn't happen when I do them from my desktop at work. So I wonder if there's something I need to adjust somewhere. Thanks

I will not get into actual gunsmithing which would require a lathe/mill or any other special machines to accomplish the task.
As stated above, when I finally do get around to making the CD (after I find the kit that I want), it will have everything needed to build/teardown the
AR15. Which would be like barrel installation/removal, rear sight installation/removal/ and so forth.
While having a pre-built upper helps in getting the rifle ready to shoot, it does nothing for learning how to assemble/disassemble that same upper. And that rear A2 sight can be a real bear, even with the special tools to do it.

H & N High School Hoops Classic Coming to Oregon Tech
Apr 10, 2014
(KLAMATH FALLS) -- Oregon Tech and the Herald and News are bringing together the first ever Herald and News High School Hoops Classic, Sunday, April 27, in a partnership that looks to honor Klamath Basin upperclassmen basketball players.
Proceeds will help support the OIT women's basketball program.
The girls will kick off the classic at 4 p.m. at Oregon Tech's Danny Miles Court, and the boys will play at 6 p.m.
Tech women's basketball coach Scott Meredith said: "The way the Klamath Basin appreciates sports, I think it has the potential to be a successful event to recognize the local seniors. It gives the Klamath Basin one last chance to watch these kids play."
Admission will be $5 for the general public, and seniors over age 65 and all active military personnel will be charged $3.
"We are using it as a fundraiser for our women's basketball program to help pay for things like traveling to the national tournament, equipment, recruiting," Meredith said. "There are a lot of little things that can go on like car washes and bake sales, but we're doing what we do best, putting on a basketball event."
Twenty boys and 20 girls will make up the two teams, which will be coached by OIT basketball players. Once rosters are finalized, the community will have the opportunity to vote for the starters of the teams online.
"I think (an online vote) is a fun way to choose a starting lineup," Meredith said. "It helps develop interest in the game. It's a neat component to get the fans involved and give them stake in the game, as well.
"The first year is about getting the event on the map. It's something we are going to want to continue to do, year after year, and it's something you have to start at square one," Meredith said. "So far, the response has been really positive from the participants. We want to build this event to the point where we can pack Danny Miles Court." Coaches for the boys game have yet to be determined, but, for the girls game, Meredith's four seniors from the Hustlin' Owls team that won the Cascade Collegiate Conference tournament and advanced to the NAIA DII national tournament will lead the two squads.
"I think (my players) are really excited," Meredith said. "Kassi Conditt and Maria Ramirez will coach one team, and Karissa Dixon and Kiana Caban will coach the other."
The Herald and News High School Hoops Classic looks to become a highly anticipated annual sporting event in the Klamath Basin for years to come. "We want to get the Hoops Classic established and give the fans in the Basin a couple more good basketball games," Meredith said.

OSMENT, DR. LAMAR S. April 9, 1924 to August 2, 2012 Lamar Sutton Osment, M.D., 88, of Mountain Brook, Alabama, died August 2, 2012. A memorial service will be held at Mountain Brook Presbyterian Church, 3405 Brookwood Road, Birmingham, Alabama on Friday, Aug. 24, at 11 a.m. A reception at the church will follow the service. Dr. Osment is survived by his wife, Nelda Dutton Osment; his daughter, Rachael Osment Pippen and her husband, Harris A. Pippen III, of Mountain Brook; his grandchildren, Virginia Parker Pippen and Katharine Harris Pippen; his brother, James Parker Osment (Helen) of Orlando, Florida. He was preceded in death by his parents, Eugene and Julia Lowry Osment of Birmingham; his paternal grandparents, Henry and Martha Lowry Osment of Birmingham; and his maternal grandparents, James and Florence Ayres Lowry of Coffee County, Tennessee. Dr. Osment was born on April 9, 1924, in Pascagoula, Mississippi, and moved to Birmingham in 1926 where he lived the remainder of his life. He was a graduate of West End High School (1941), of Birmingham-Southern College (1945), and of The School of Medicine of The University of Alabama at Birmingham (1951). In undergraduate school, he was elected to the Student Council and to the honorary leadership fraternity, Omicron Delta Kappa. In medical school he was chosen to be a member of the scholastic fraternity, Alpha Omega Alpha. Dr. Osment served in World War II as a gunnery officer of DE 221, U.S.S. Solar. While unloading ammunition at Earle, New Jersey, in 1946, an explosion took the lives of seven men and left Lt. JG Osment with extensive second degree burns that required prolonged hospitalization. Upon graduation from medical school in 1951, he completed a residency in Dermatology at University Hospital of Birmingham and entered private practice adjacent to St. Vincent's Hospital of Birmingham. He was on the professional staff of several local hospitals including University Hospital of Birmingham, the VA Hospital, Children's Hospital, and St. Vincent's Hospital. He served on the faculty of The School of Medicine from 1951 until his death. At the time of his death, he held the academic rank of Emeritus Professor of Dermatology. He was the author of several scientific articles and book chapters. He was a member of several professional societies including American Board of Dermatology, American Academy of Dermatology, American Dermatological Association, Alabama Dermatological Society (President: 1958 and 1978), Southeastern Dermatological Association (President 1981), Southern Medical Association Section of Dermatology (Chairman 1983). Dr. Osment was included in Who's Who In America and Who's Who in Alabama. In 1990, Dr. Osment's former residents and trainees made donations to the Department of Dermatology at UAB in order to establish the Lamar S. Osment Endowed Lecturer Fund. Membership in community organizations included Mountain Brook Presbyterian Church, Arlington Historical Association, Alabama Historical Association, Birmingham-Jefferson Historical Society, Poinsettia Men's Club (charter member), The Medallion Club (charter member), Birmingham Museum of Art, Alabama Genealogical Society, Birmingham Audubon Society, Vulcan Power Squadron (Life Member), Silent Partner's Club (President 1990), the 811 Club of retired physicians, the St. Vincent's Emeritus Club, the Destroyer Escort Sailors Association, and Disabled American Veterans. He especially enjoyed his membership in the Utopia Tent of the Sons of the Desert, a Laurel and Hardy appreciation club. He acquired a large collection of movies featuring the boys as well as many Our Gang two-reelers. Other interests included the study of several foreign languages, the novels of Charles Dickens as well as many 19th Century British novelists. Dr. Osment was a member of the Dickens Society. He read extensively on the races of mankind and their movements. He took special pleasure in preparing the annual edition of a Birmingham-Southern Class of 1945 newsletter. Dr. Osment loved music. Specifically, he loved classical works, traditional country music, and traditional bluegrass. He could play several musical instruments including the mandolin, ukulele, guitar, and French horn. Most recently, Dr. Osment had an essay published in Arlington: Birmingham's Historic House, a collection of essays edited by Carolyn Satterfield. For his entire life, Dr. Osment took particular pleasure in traveling extensively with his wife. Their travels took them across Europe, the continental United States, and Mexico. Since the 1940s, one of their favorite places to visit was the Florida panhandle and, specifically, Ft. Walton Beach, where they owned a condominium on Okaloosa Island. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made in Dr. Osment's name to Arlington Historical Association, 331 Cotton Avenue, Birmingham, Alabama 35211. >

Police: Man tried to eat counterfeit money
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Three people are facing charges after police say they tried to use counterfeit money at some local restaurants.
According to Johnson City Police, Michael Herron and Adam Dillingham, along with a minor, attempted to pay for their order at IHOP when employees became suspicious.
The three suspects left and went to a nearby McDonald's, where police say employees there also found the suspects suspicious and called them.
The three were still at the scene when police arrived. Officers say Dillingham attempted to eat several of the bills he had hidden in his shoe.
Dillingham is charged with 24 counts of criminal simulation and one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Herron is charged with seven counts of criminal simulation. Both will be in court Wednesday.
The minor was released to his legal guardian. He is expected in juvenile court on Wednesday as well.

Dednutz Ruger 10/22 1 inch Rifle Scope Mounts will accept most rifle scopes assuming the height is appropriate for the diameter of the objective lens. This is a unitized one-piece base and ring system. Because the rings are integral with the scope base, you won't encounter any potential misalignment between the front and rear base. You also eliminate the need to keep the rings torqued securely to a separate base. The rigid Dednutz design has no moveable parts between the firearm and the scope.

International Studies Show Mixed Results Among U.S. Students
American Stars of Teaching
Close-Up: No Child Left BehindImproving Student Achievement Through Technology
On the Horizon
Tests' Key Findings
New Resources! Celebrating Black History Month, Presidents Day
International Studies Show Mixed Results Among U.S. Students
The latest results of two major international studies present a mixed picture of the academic abilities of American students.
In the 2003 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), American fourth- and eighth-graders significantly outperformed many of their international peers. While eighth-gradersincluding boys, girls and minority studentsimproved their scores compared to past TIMSS studies (1995 and 1999), scores for fourth-graders remained static in both subject areas.
In the 2003 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), U.S. ninth- and tenth-graders (15-year-olds) performed below the international average in math literacy and problem-solving. This lag among high school students, says President Bush and U.S Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings, underscores the need for annual learning assessments for all students in grades 9-11. Under the No Child Left Behind Act, such assessments currently apply only to students in grades 3-8. (For both studies' findings, see Tests' Key Findings.)
The PISA results were released in December 2004 by the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. A report on America's PISA results, published by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is available at http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/pisa, or by calling 1-877-4ED-PUBS with identification number ERN3787P, while supplies last.
The 2003 TIMSS results is the third release since 1995 from the Amsterdam-based International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement. For NCES' report on the U.S. TIMSS results, visit http://nces.ed.gov/timss, or call 1-877-4ED-PUBS with identification number ERN3791P, while supplies last.
American Stars of Teaching
ED Program Recognizes Stellar Teachers
The U.S. Department of Education is focusing attention on exemplary teachers who are successful in raising academic achievement for all of their studentsoften through the use of innovative classroom strategies. Last fall, these teachers were recognized as American Stars of Teaching, part of the Department's Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative honoring educators who have made a difference in their students' lives.
Nominated by their peers, honorees were selected by a committee of former teachers at the Department of Education based on their success in raising student achievement. American Stars of Teaching have been identified in each state and in the District of Columbia, and represent all grade levels and disciplines. The following is a small sample of these 51 American Stars.
Patti Berkley,
Oologah Lower Elementary School,
Oologah, Okla.
Teaching to the level of each student in her class, Patti Berkley (photographed below) uses academic and learning-style assessments to understand each child's strong points. "I teach each child through his or her strengths," she explained.
Berkley noted that the assessment results generally fall into three main groups, which allows her to organize students into small groups to ensure that each student masters the required skills.
As a first-grade teacher, Berkley weaves various strategies throughout the reading curriculum as well as the schoolwide social studies- or science-based thematic units that integrate the arts. This comprehensive approach to learning was adopted by the Oklahoma A+ Schools network, of which the Oologah Lower Elementary School is one of 19 participants.
"The neatest thing about teaching first grade is convincing the kids that they can read," she said. "Every year there's that moment when you put the first sentence on the board and their eyes light up. You can see the spark when they know they've read their first sentence."
Donna Sollars,
Tiffin Elementary School,
Chillicothe, Ohio
With the challenge of teaching math, social studies, science and health to fourth-graders, Donna Sollars summarizes her teaching strategy. "I have an interest in each child," she said, explaining that she does whatever it takes to help her students learn, including providing extra help beyond the school day.
The strategy is working. Tiffin Elementary, where Sollars has taught for 13 years, has been recognized as an Ohio School of Promise for three years, with more than 80 percent of its students passing required reading and math achievement tests.
"Each day is different," said Sollars. "Seeing students achieve makes every day rewarding."
Sharon Turner,
George Elementary School,
Jackson, Miss.
Students in Sharon Turner's fifth-grade class have busy hands. Using hands-on learning techniques, she develops lessons that involve students in making, seeing or doing things while learning math and science.
"Paperwork was boring when I was in school," she notes, "so I try to use manipulativesdominoes, cards, diceinstead of worksheets." She also encourages students to use the chalkboard to work out problems.
Turner uses student achievement information and progress monitoring to plan her lessons for both large- and small-group work. She considers herself part of a team of teachers who have worked together to make George Elementary School one of three Jackson city schools ranked Level 5 (superior-performing) on the state's accountability system, up from Level 1 (low-performing) in 2001.
Describing her role in preparing students for life, she said, "It's wonderful to make a difference in their lives."
Meghan Little,
KIPP DC: KEY Academy,
Washington, D.C.
Spirals dominate Meghan Little's fifth-grade math programnot physical spirals, but curriculum spirals that keep math concepts coming back at more complex levels throughout the academic year. "The spiral curriculum shows students the interrelatedness of concepts," she explained. "They get a chance to review these concepts throughout the year."
Working from a yearlong plan, Little uses six-week assessments to check student knowledge. In small groups, she works with individual students to help them master specific skills. Her school, KIPP DC: KEY Academy, a charter school in the District of Columbia, has recorded the highest math scores in the city.
Little says she looks for a change in students' attitudes about math as a measurement of success. "When I can see in kids' faces the point at which they go from being confused to saying, 'I'm going to attack this; I can do this,'" she said, "that's the most special moment for me."
American Stars of Teaching is part of the Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative, which includes regional workshops, a teacher toolkit and regular e-mail updates. For a complete listing of the 2004 honorees, visit www.ed.gov/teachers/how/tools/initiative/american-stars.html.
Close-Up: No Child Left BehindImproving Student Achievement Through Technology
The technology that has so dramatically changed the world outside the classroom is now changing the environment within it. According to a new report from the U.S. Department of Education, at least 15 states provide some form of virtual schooling to supplement regular classes or to provide for special needs students, and about 25 percent of all public schools now offer some type of e-learning or online instruction.
Toward a Golden Age in American Education: How the Internet, the Law and Today's Students Are Revolutionizing Expectations examines the state of educational technology and offers recommendations for maximizing its contribution to improving education. It also focuses on the role of the No Child Left Behind Act in bridging the "digital disconnect" between Internet-savvy students and their schools in order to align technology with improved learning.
The 68-page report, which serves as the Department's National Education Technology Plan, details seven major steps, which address: leadership; funding; teacher training; the development of e-learning and virtual schools; greater access to broadband communications; the transition from print to digital media; and the integration of data systems, such as technology-based assessments of student performance.
In addition, the report also profiles a sample of pioneering schools and school districts across the countryin Alaska, California, Florida, Missouri and Virginiaalong with state initiativesin Arkansas, Idaho, Louisiana, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginiathat have successfully enriched students' learning experiences through multimedia, simulations and interactive software.

Tests' Key Findings
The 2003 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) revealed:
- In fourth-grade math, the United States ranked 12th out of 25 nations participating in that portion of the study. In eighth-grade math, the United States ranked 15th out of 45 nations.
- In science, U.S. fourth-graders ranked 6th, and eighth-graders, 9th.
- The performance of American fourth-graders in both areas was lower in 2003 than in 1995 relative to the 14 nations that participated in the studies, while the performance of American eighth-graders in both areas was higher in 2003 than in 1995 relative to 21 nations.
Key findings from the 2003 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) included:
- Of the 39 industrial nations participating in the study, the United States was outperformed by 26 in math literacy and 28 in problem-solving.
- American white students performed above the PISA average (literacy: 500; problem-solving: 500) in both topics, but black and Hispanic students performed below the average.
- Males outperformed females in mathematics literacy in the United States and in two-thirds of participating countries. However, there was no difference in performance between males and females in problem-solving.
New Resources!
Celebrating Black History Month, Presidents Day
February ushers in a month of celebrating American history. In observance of Black History Month and Presidents Day (Feb. 21), the federally supported Web site for hundreds of learning resourceswww.ed.gov/freewill feature historical collections contributed by various federal agencies, including the National Archives, the National Park Service, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Library of Congress.
Starting the first of this month, and each day thereafter, the Federal Resources for Educational Excellence (FREE) Web site's home page will feature a new teaching resource specifically about black history. These resources draw from a wealth of materials that explore the heritage of African Americans, including The African-American Mosaic, a guide that covers topics such as colonization and Liberia, abolitionists and slavery, and western migration and homesteading. Also highlighted on the site are prominent individuals such as United Nations diplomat Ralph Bunche, who became the first person of color in the world to receive the Nobel Prize for Peace, and Jackie Robinson, the first African-American to officially play on a Major League Baseball team.
Midway through the month (Feb. 16-22), in honor of Presidents Day, the FREE Web site will focus on the American presidency through the speeches, diaries and other manuscripts of former U.S. presidents. The "Thomas Jefferson Papers," for instance, is the largest collection of documents belonging to the third president, with 20,000 digitized images of various correspondence, manuscripts, commonplace books and financial account books. For a more comprehensive view of the American presidency, the "Presidents of the United States" collection offers a biography and photo of each leader.

What is the best way to change over from our deep hive boxes to all medium.
What is the best way to change over from our deep hive boxes to all medium.
Assuming a five frame nuc: Put five frames in medium box and place it on a bottom board. Put five frames in another medium box and set it on top of the first. slide all frames up and down to one side and put your five frame nuc in the empty space. If an undrawn or broodless frame comes with the nuc, do not put it in colony. slide a frame containing brood to the outside. The bees will abandon brood rearing on that out side frame and when the brood has all emerged remove it and slide the next deep frame with brood against the outer wall. Repeat process refilling empty space up and down until the last deep frame is removed and you are done. If you had been laying the deep frame on its side on the top bars, the bees will have robbed it out. When the frames are robbed out, remove them from service or cut them down on a table saw to medium size. That is the simplest way Ihave thought of.
Vance, that sounds workable for working with nucs but I think he's talking about full size 8 or 10 frame hive boxes.
I won't say this is the best way, but this is what I'm thinking of doing. I've got one colony that I need to work a 10-frame deep out of...I've got 8-frame mediums on top of it. I'm planning on making sure she isn't in the deep and in one of the mediums above it. Once I insure she is in a medium I'm going to place a queen excluder between the deep and the mediums on top of it...effectively keeping her out of the deep while the brood in it finishes emerging...once 21 days is up then remove the deep. Doing it like this there is no need to go in and out of the hive numerous times...just wait the 21 days. At least that's my plan until something better is presented to me.
I'm all ears for other folk's ideas and suggestions.
Think of the deeps as something to be removed. The best time to remove anything from the hive is when it's empty (most likely in the early spring) or when it's full of honey and there is a flow (anytime during the flow). Just keep removing them. If you need to consolidate frames from more than one hive to get a box of empties, do that. If you need to put an occasional medium in a deep box, do that. If you need to put an occasional deep frame down into two mediums, do that. You can cut the excess comb off and tie it into frames later.
People often want bees out of what they are in/on and in a different kind of home. Here are more general directions in that regard:
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
Spring time instead of rotating hive bodies, remove the bottom box, & add a medium on top. Keep adding medium boxes as necessary. Might want to feed 1:1 to speed things up.
Assuming you have 2 deeps the second one can be removed the following spring if not sooner.
Very timely. I have been thinking about this myself.
This time of year with no brood and the bees moved up, take the frames to the bandsaw and cut them down, comb and all. Tack on a bottom strip and your done.
Thank you for all your help.
Michael when I was on your sight, which is excellent by the way, I didn't see a "search" anywhere. I moved to another section and couldn't get back to this link. Did I just over look it or is there a menu somewhere?
Intheswamp I will try to move from both deep nucs and deep hives so all recommendations will help.
>I didn't see a "search" anywhere.
If you were looking, for example, "feral", go to google.com and try:
feral sitehfarms.com
> I moved to another section and couldn't get back to this link. Did I just over look it or is there a menu somewhere?
The menu is on the left. From the main beekeeping page, pick "Feral Bees" under "Queens" and you'll find that section near the bottom of that page.

Eli choked real bad at the end of the game there with the INT.
3 for the night and 15 already for the season? Dang Eli the Choke Master will break NFL record for INT. My prediction is 28 INTs for the season assuming that he doesn't get benched or traded to another team.
He can be Romo's backup for sure.

Camden County, located in the Coastal Plain region of northeastern North Carolina and bordered in part by the state of Virginia and Albemarle Sound, was formed in 1777 from Pasquotank County and named for Sir Charles Pratt, earl of Camden, in gratitude for the support he gave to the colonists. The Tuscarora and Weapemeoc Indians, who left North Carolina in 1774, were the first inhabitants of the area; by 1650 English settlers had arrived, many drifting south from Virginia. The county seat, Camden, dates to 1740, when it was known as Plank Bridge. Its name was changed to Jonesborough in 1792 and, by 1840, to Camden. Other Camden County communities include South Mills, Belcross, and Shiloh.
The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge covers parts of Camden County, and farmland makes up 33 percent of the total acreage of the county. Important agricultural products are corn, potatoes, wheat, swine, soybeans, oats, barley, chickens, cotton, and beef cattle. Because the Camden County terrain features a great amount of water, North Carolinians and others travel there for boating, fishing, swimming, and waterfowl observance. The large wild turkey population also attracts hunters.
Historic sites in Camden County include the county courthouse (1847); Sanderlin-Prichard House (1851); Milford (1744-46), North Carolina's oldest remaining two-story brick house; and Shiloh Baptist Church (1729), the state's oldest Baptist church. In 2004 Camden County's population was estimated to be 8,500.

FedEx brought my 1919a4 kit today. Holy crap, is that thing heavy!! I still need to go through all the bundles to make sure everything is present and accounted for, but it looks complete.
The bore on this thing is almost as nice as my Imbel kits. It looks unfired, but I know better... The other parts are just in need of a good degreasing and cleaning. It'll get blasted and parked when I build it. This thing is so cool!!!
Mine is .308, but you can get 8mm Mauser and 30.06 barrels and parts for them. I would HIGHLY advise anyone who is even thinking about a 1919 to IMMEDIATELY get a kit from Weaponeer while they're available. At $325, they are the best priced kits and I would say superior in quality to other vendors.
I'm going to get an 80% RSP from ORF. Todd engraves the plates with the correct info. It's a little more expensive, but it's way better than I can do. If I recall, ORF side plates only need to be drilled and chamferred for the rivets and a couple minor machining steps.
Thanks to Gary and Shortrnd from Weaponeer!!! I'll be sending a M.O. for a site contribution some time in the next couple of days.
Now I gotta buy links and maybe a belt, lots of .308, make a linker, make a tripod, make a mount for the MG (and I don't mean machinegun), pick up a headspace gauge tool...

Although it was pretty evident (if you're an actual MJ fan) that he didn't molest any children, I see an overwhelming population of people who still trash talk Michael Jackson anytime you mention him.
So, even though he was found NOT GUILTY for his child molestation charges, and both accusing children eventually said that their parents told them to do it...
Do you think this man was a pedophile?
I obviously don't, and find people who think he was are ignorant and usually arrogant.

text: TELL Mass survey results now public Do you want to know what teachers and administrators think about working conditions, class sizes, community support, student discipline, the quality of professional development, the atmosphere of trust and a whole host of other issues involving your school? Do you wonder how your school's results compare to results in other schools in your district or in neighboring communities? This information is now available to all schools in which at least half of the instructional staff filled out the online Teaching, Empowering, Learning and Leading Massachusetts – TELL Mass – survey last spring. Detailed reports with anonymous survey results went live in early July and are available for anyone to view at www.tellmass.org. Click on "View 2012 Survey Results" for district and school results. The MTA is urging members to study the results carefully and encourage dialogue with school and district administrators about them. Positive findings should be honored and replicated, while problems should be identified and addressed. "Teachers tell us they want their voices to shape practices in their schools. The TELL Mass survey is one way to express that voice and give teachers and administrators a tool to use in driving improvements in their schools," said MTA President Paul Toner. The MTA and the NEA, along with the governor and other supporters of public education, sponsored a similar survey four years ago. The state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education took over the survey this past year under the federal Race to the Top grant, contracting with the New Teacher Center to administer it. In both cases, more than 40,000 teachers and administrators participated, or a little more than half of those currently employed. The MTA received reports indicating that in some schools, participation was stymied because principals did not distribute the codes needed to log on to the secure survey site. Both the MTA and the DESE established help desks to aid members in participating. "If your school didn't reach the 50 percent mark, you need to figure out why," said Toner. "If the reason was that the principal did not encourage and facilitate participation, that could be a sign of a serious problem. If you believe that is the case, we recommend you work with your MTA field representative to explore other ways that teachers and other staff can voice their views on important educator working conditions and student learning conditions."
