New on Blu-ray: Platoon
The 25th Anniversary Blu-Ray of Oliver Stone's award-winning film is packed with extras like deleted scenes, documentaries and behind-the-scenes vignettes.
Director: Oliver Stone
MPAA Rating: R
Studio: MGM/20th Century Fox
The 25th Anniversary DVD/Blu-ray combo of Oliver Stone's award-winning film is packed with extras like deleted scenes, documentaries and behind-the-scenes vignettes. Long before the Two and a Half Men fallout, the hookers, the partying, the goddesses and the reactionary touring carnival, Charlie Sheen was already "winning" as Chris Taylor—a young American who dropped out of college for combat duty in Vietnam—in Oliver Stone's acclaimed Platoon. The movie won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, and is disturbingly realistic because it is based on Stone's real-life experiences during the Vietnam War.
Chris thought it was unfair that only the poor and uneducated were fighting in Vietnam and decides to enlist, but his fellow soldiers think he is crazy. Chris soon thinks they are right as the bodies begin to pile up and his group endures ambush after ambush by the Viet Cong near the border of Cambodia in 1967. He bonds with the pot-smoking "Heads"—especially veteran King (Keith David)—and is caught in the crossfire between the more compassionate Sergeant Elias (Willem Dafoe) and the unhinged Staff Sergeant Barnes (Tom Berenger).
Elias and Barnes come to blows after the platoon raids a village where a food and weapons cache is stumbled upon. Barnes kills a protesting female villager after Bunny (Kevin Dillon) had bludgeoned her son to death with his rifle, and Elias reports the incident to his superiors. Later—in one of the most intense scenes in any war film—Barnes sees Elias approaching in the woods and shoots him. Barnes tells Chris that Elias is dead, but when the platoon escapes in a helicopter, Chris sees Elias stumbling away from the attacking Viet Cong with arms raised up to heaven.
The final massacre between the Viet Cong and the American soldiers is based on an actual attack that Stone survived while serving. Chris barely survives, avenges Elias's death, and returns home with the belief that the only war all of them were really fighting was the one inside themselves.
Platoon has never sounded or looked better than it does here on Blu-ray, but that doesn't mean the 1986 film has been cleaned up excessively. There is some natural film grain that is supposed to be there, but the bright greens of the tropical plants still pop and the details are sharp even in the inky-black jungle scenes.
Every single member of the ensemble cast—especially Dafoe—gives his all to Stone, including familiar faces in smaller roles such as Johnny Depp as the Vietnamese translator and Tony "Candyman" Todd as Warren. Sheen has gone on to crazier roles—most of them now off-screen—but "Platoon" remains his most winning moment.
Best extras: This Blu-ray debut has two feature commentaries by Stone and Military Advisor Dale Dye, deleted and extended scenes with optional commentary by Stone, two documentaries, three vignettes and three "Flashback to 'Platoon'" behind-the-scenes featurettes: "Snapshot in Time: 1967-1968," "Creating the 'Nam" and "Raw Wounds: The Legacy of Platoon."

Passed GPEN, next ?
How I prepared for it.
First, I attended SANS live training last year in Vegas and then bought the bundle for 4 months which gave me a vpn access to their systems to practice/hacking.
Also SANS provides their "ondemand" access for the 4 months which is a recorded training for the course and of course Ed Skoudis is amazing.
GIAC provides two practice test exams as a prep for the real thing. It is a representative of the real exam but not the real exam.
I listened to all the recordings, practiced all the lab and capture the flag, reread all the five text books provided and prepared indexes for the exams since it is an open book.
Then launched for the exam which I managed to pass for the first time.
My next goal is to take the OSCP training and test but according to the reading I have done so far, it sounds like this is more challenging than the GPEN.
For those who have taken the OSCP and GPEN, what is your feel? Do I have a chance or no? I have no programming knowledge but the rest of the requirments, I can get well along.
I am currently working with BT4 and practicing all the tutorial provided by the offensive sec on the metasploit unleashed in my lab.

How Is Your Focus?
The early church as described in the book of Acts lived incredibly in one accord, displaying doctrinal, financial, and ecclesiastical unity. That is until a controversy arose over unequal care between two groups of widows connected to the church. Some rightly voiced a complaint that the Hellenistic widows of the Jerusalem church "were being neglected in the daily distribution" of food (6:1). In response, the twelve Christ-appointed leaders of the church rolled up their sleeves and took to caring for these widows themselves. Or did they? No, instead they articulated clearly that they would devote themselves "to prayer and to the ministry of the word," while designating others to oversee a just distribution system that provided care for all widows.

Town Square
Out of Touch, In Touch
Original post made by Paul Losch, a resident of Palo Alto, on May 23, 2010
Palo Alto City Government at long last is confronting fiscal realities.
It is not unique to this town, it has been an elephant in many rooms city and state wide for at least several years.
In Palo Alto, here's who is out of touch:
--The leadership of the fire fighter's union
--the NIMBY's who oppose just about anything that changes their current way of life
--the commercial property owners who charge unrealistic rents to retailers, and then let their spaces sit vacant instead of lowering their rates
Here's who is in touch:
--Those in town that want things they value, such as Children's Theater, to become self-sustaining.
--Those concerned about how our kids get to and from school
--High Speed Rail Opponents
I am providing my list. There are many more which others can provide.
Who is in touch? Who is out of touch?

"Children's Theater, to become self-sustaining"
Paul, Really? I have not heard that the city is cutting is subsidy of the PACT. If so, then it is, finally, a move in the right direction. If there is a cut, how much is it?
a resident of Midtown
on May 23, 2010 at 11:27 am
I agree with most of Paul's points, especially about landlords and NIMBYs being big problems.
Also, parent groups that are working to improve safety around schools are very important to our community.
a resident of Midtown
on May 23, 2010 at 11:30 am
I haven't heard anyone on the council says they want PACT to become self-sustaining, though that is really the only path that makes sense. A lot of citizens say that, but they don't organize to wear colored t-shirts to council meetings or have pals on the Council who will protect their pet activities.
Hopefully out of our budget crisis some common sense leadership will emerge that will put us on a more sensible footing.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on May 23, 2010 at 11:37 am
Here's my "in touch" list:
All recreational areas to become as self-sustaining as possible. This could include:
Eliminate the subsidy to the Children's Theater
Eliminate any subsidy to the Junior Museum and Zoo
Charge a lot more for the use of Rinconada Pool for non-residents
Charge for renting large areas at any of the Public Parks
Rethink the use of our public spaces:
Do we need 5 libraries or do we merely want them. Is this a fiscally responsible use of money for ALL the residents or just a nice thing for a small, very vocal group?
Could we be using the land under City Hall, the Police Building, Downtown Library, the Main Library and the Art Center in a more useful manner. Could we consolidate some of those spaces?
Do we need to change some of our zoning and the "Palo Alto Process" to encourage business and $$ generating retail establishments?
City Hall Employees - just like the business world has used this economic downturn to eliminate non-essential positions, we should really streamline our City Hall.
Stop contributing to anything we don't need to contribute to, recent examples:
Senior Games (they would have come without our $$$)
Lytton Plaza
Public art - why are we paying for it? Have a contest, vote for the best piece, the artist gets recognition.
Stop trying to be "green" for the sound bytes. Being environmentally conscientous is a great goal, but not at the expense of common sense. Being green should also be a sound business decision, not just a bumper sticker.

"Who is out of touch?"
Hands down, it is the unions that represent public sector employees. As a lifelong supporter of unions, I'm sad to say it, but it is true. And of course, we'd have to mention the idiots running governments who promised workers more than the economy can deliver.
In the past, public employees have taken lower salaries in exchange for better benefits, but as the NYT pointed out on Thursday, this has not been true for years. The median pay for state or local employees in 2008, for instance, was 13 percent higher than in the private sector, and on top of that the public sector employees take gold-plated retirement plans and cadillac health care plans.
As private sector companies reduced pensions substantially over the last two decades, states and cities have added sweeteners like inflation adjustments and lower retirement ages.
These extraordinarily out-of-proportion hand-outs are bankrupting cities and states, and they'll have to stop. It would be good if Palo Alto could recognize that our city has been one of the most short-sighted and profligate, if we could get out ahead of the curve in cutting long-term public employee costs. We can't undo past promises, but the stick we have is firing.
The city should figure out what it can sustainably pay employees (salaries, pensions, health care included). Let's say that is 50% of what we are presently committed to. Then come up with a plan to cut 50% of workers, and see if the unions could be enticed to chop 50% of compensation. If not, then start firing. Once those people are fired (let's start at the top), open a dialogue and see if the union would now be willing to cut compensation.
Despite my deep sympathies for unions, I can't help but feel that public sector employees are swilling at the public trough and driving governments bankrupt.

Just one point to palo alto mom: You do realize that the Lytton Plaza remodel was 100% funded through donations, right? How did the city waste any money on the plaza?
a resident of Santa Rita (Los Altos)
on May 23, 2010 at 5:20 pm
Crescent Park Dad: "You do realize that the Lytton Plaza remodel was 100% funded through donations, right"
Are you sure? I thought the project was covered half donations/half city funds.
a resident of Midtown
on May 23, 2010 at 5:23 pm
From the PA Weekly archives:
"The group has raised $348,800 for the project and has shepherded it through the city's application process. Palo Alto is contributing $348,800 from its own coffers for plaza renovations and adding another $50,000 for sidewalk repairs."
So it sounds like about $400K went into the renovation.

High Speed Rail opponents? Try OUT-OF-TOUCH
--"NIMBY's who oppose just about anything" including things that won't even change "their current way of life".
a resident of Downtown North

Out Of Touch: Elitists who make lists of who is In Touch and who is Out Of Touch.
a resident of Evergreen Park
on May 24, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Crescent Park Dad thinks the Lytton Plaza remodel was 100% funded through donations, right?
The city agreed to pay half. And the price went up when the city agreed. It went up from the previous estimate by about $200,000.
Can you believe that thing cost $800,000?
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood

You have included Nimbys as being out of touch, but you include the opponents of HSR as being amongst those you call in touch.
I would advocate that it is Nimbys primarily who are opposing HSR.
Otherwise, you have listed well.
a resident of Palo Alto
on May 25, 2010 at 12:13 am
Paul Losch is a registered user.
There are many NIMBY's who oppose High Speed Rail, and understandably so.
I refer to many others, and I count myself among them, that think this whole HSR thing is a boondogle.
There is no inconsistency in what I posted. There is some overlap, for sure, but don't confuse the categories.
a resident of Downtown North
on May 25, 2010 at 10:11 am
"I would advocate that it is Nimbys primarily who are opposing HSR."
NIMBY is a name that people who are grateful something isn't being put in their own back yard call other people who don't want the thing put in their back yard either.
The NIMBY-caller's most desperate fear is that, if those NIMBYs over there win, the thing might get put in the NIMBY-caller's back yard.

In this episode, EC&M Magazine's Russ LeBlanc shows us an outdoor receptacle arrangement that doesn't meet the requirements of Sec. 406.9 of the 2014 NEC. He notes that the cover isn't weatherproof and the receptacle is not weather resistant.
Discuss this Video 3
From the looks of the rust on the lock nut, this installation has been there for some time. Is it possible that when this receptacle was installed, it met current codes? You seem to imply that everything you find must meet the latest Code requirements.
Keep in mind that this may not be a violation if it was installed prior to the Code having these requirements. The Code is not retroactive.
I see two others have the same thought I did. As the installation appears to be existing, it may have been compliant at the time.
On the flip side, I found the requirement for the outlet cover being weatherproof whether a cap is plugged-in or not to be in each Edition going back to the 2002 NEC (oldest version I have at hand.)
Besides, appearing to be a ball park with young children present wouldn't it be a good idea to at least replace the cover so it is compliant?

Just Say No to Mandarin Immersion
Original post made by Kate, Crescent Park, on May 8, 2007
How about all of those in the school district who are opposed to Mandarin Immersion, based on financial issues, start making it clear to the BOE that we will be voting as a block to deny any further funding to the district. Let the BOE know, via email, letter or phone that you support their initial decision regarding MI and expect them to honor that decision and to reject the threats being made by a few individuals in the district. Make your position regarding MI clear to the Board using financial leverage.
Mandy Lowell: firstname.lastname@example.com
Camille Townsend: email@example.com
Barb Mitchell: email@example.com
Dana Tom: firstname.lastname@example.com
Gail Price has been consistent in her position on MI and does not support it as proposed at this time.

How about all of those in the school district who are opposed to continuing the strife, controversy, and fanning of the flames contact the board and tell them to hurry up and vote, stop dithering, stop explaining and re-explaining themselves ad nauseum, and let's just move on. Hire some reconciliation experts. Let's move on to the future. Let's stop the vitriol. We all know each others opinions. Scandalmongering does the community no good.
a resident of Crescent Park
on May 9, 2007 at 6:37 pm
Perhaps you missed it, but the BOE already did vote. We did move on. The problem is that the proponents of MI didn't like the result and forced the issue to be re-opened in the community. Now, it's your opinion that everyone is suppose to be quiet and allow a second vote to take place without discussion or you accuse them of engaging in scandalmongering? How does "Scandalmongering" apply here???

Viscidus Globule
Binds when picked up
Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
After a long time ignoring that boss because I didn't know how to kill him, last week I finally looked it up and done it on my 2 toons. Didn't drop on both tries. So yesterday I did it again and now I have two of them :D
If you still ignore that boss, look up on youtube, there are methods for every class, even for casters.
Actually, a interesting pet to pvp with. Weakness and dots...
Confirmed using hunter and Chimaera. Thank you Desdanova
I took a DK friend into AQ to help me with the frost part of the fight, and the pet dropped on the first kill. With two level 90's this guy goes down FAST. We switched to our alts to try our luck again, my Shaman used Frostbrand weapon and Frost Shock which worked to get him frozen. No pet, though I would say getting him on the first shot was pretty darn lucky! Bring a friend if you are having issues killing him once he is frozen, good luck!
Got mine from AH for 500g :) Was the last one needed for the achievement too.
Took my level 90 hunter (ilvl 527) with a Chimaera pet. I just went through my normal rotation, I did not have to use a melee weapon to defeat Viscidus. The fight was short and simple. This was the first time with a hunter, my other kills where with a shaman (no pet drop), and I got the pet. I was very lucky, this being only my fourth kill.
I see a lot of the same stuff about how to solo the boss, but relatively nothing beyond the battle rating on the main page of how this guy stacks up in battle. Is he something I should just be aiming to collect for collection's sake, or is he actually worth leveling to use in battle? Why or why not?
Finally Soloed this guy as an arms Warrior, used Weapon Enchant Elemental Force and DPS'd him down to 1 and froze him, then popped blade storm and melee'd the rest of the way to shattered! Although the pet did not drop.. :-( but now I know how to solo him! I did get my second Anubisath Idol though! Still looking for the mini mindslayer to drop as well... they will be mine! (insert evil laugh here)
I ran through the raid once and didn't get it. Then on the second rin I got it!! I was so thrilled. Somone said about trying to frreze the boos to kill him but the boss already did that. You might just get the pet when you see a lot of loot and it also comes when you least ecpect it. Happy hunting!
Not sure if this has anything to do with the pet dropping from the boss but the first couple times i killed him, he didn't disperse into multiple globules. The time i got the pet he did. So maybe the flavor text, "This small globule didn't make it back to Viscidus in time to re-form." is a clue to getting it.
So what am I doing wrong? I've solo'd this guy about 15 times so far and he NEVER drops the dang pet! Got all the other pets from this instance but this little guy NEVER drops!
This one is really cool in so many ways!
I wished I had caught the tameable oozling (was a nsc ooze which was tameable with same look like this pet) a while ago with my hunter, but I missed it - so sad about that.
Dont know why, but I named mine Ryanoozling...
As a hunter (and some other classes) you can buy a weapon which deals additional frost damage in Brunnhildar (Brunnhildar Bow) to kill viscidus.
Have fun with this fellow!
Caught this fella a while ago farely easily with my monk. I just dual wielded w/ Elemental Force x2 and it worked fine.
As far as priests go (keep seeing priests complaining about not being able to solo him). Just spam Mind Spike and pop a haste potion when he freezes and you should be able to get him down with no issues. Mind Spike deals Shadow/FROST damage which works fine to kill Viscidus.
(Had a friend attempt this with his priest and can confirm that it works.)
Soloed as SPriest and got him on first try. Used old transmog dagger with MOP elemental force enchant and my Barov Family trinket I had in my bank. Worked perfectly although I froze him to early and had to freeze him again them wait for my trinket to reset (10 min) to finish him off. Couldn't crack him with my fiend.
well just got this little guys, with a lvl 90 hunter and a lvl 85 death knight, didnt take very long to down the boss and thankfully this little dude droped out, and it was out first time in there.
good luck and happy hunting.
Just killed this boss as a shadow priest. Picked up a cheap green dagger on the AH and enchanted it with Deathfrost.
On my first attempt, once I got him frozen I popped shadowfiend and started meleeing him. I failed.
I ran out of the room to reset him, pulled up my Argent Gruntling and grabbed the C'Thun trinket and the Netherwing trinket and tried again. Froze him, started meleeing, and popped shadowfiend, C'Thun, and Netherwing. Worked just fine! Unfortunately the pet didn't drop, but there's always next week.
I can confirm that a ele shaman ( I would assume an agility shaman could to) can solo this boss. Frost shock for about 3 minutes. Pop your earth ele and hero after he is frozen to get the hits on to shatter him. Just stop casting and auto attack while hero and ele are going. done it two weeks in a row now. no pet yet. only one left in there I need ><.
I was reading on Wowhead and someone else (Brand) said this:
The Mists of Pandaria level enchant Enchant Weapon - Elemental Force can be used to freeze Viscidus, as the elemental damage done counts as frost damage.
I am a lvl 90 Ret Paladin, I tried this it took some time but I did manage to down Viscidus solo! However; still trying to get the pet to drop!
Soloed with a 90 feral druid. Saved CDs once I got him down 2/3rds of the way, but not really a problem - just a little slow to grind him down.
Pet dropped 1st attempt - I've never bothered to come this far into teh raid before (as couldn't solo it) so quite pleased so far.

text: I go into downtown St. Louis every now and then and I was thinking of installing a kill switch. A lot of vehicles are stolen down there. My question is would installing a kill switch be pointless? Since my truck has the circle plus transponder key, does it make the vehicle impossible to start for a thief? I was thinking about installing a kill switch for the fuel or ignition and putting the switch somewhere in the truck that a thief would take some time to find. Thanks.

How to Practice Shamatha Meditation
The Cultivation of Meditative Quiescence
In 1988, Gen Lamrimpa, a Tibetan monk, led a one-year retreat in the Pacific Northwest, during which a group of Western meditators devoted themselves to the practice of meditative quiescence (shamatha). This book is a record of the oral teachings he gave to this group at the outset of the retreat. The teachings are brought to life by Gen Lamrimpa's warmth, humor, and extensive personal experience as a contemplative recluse.… Read More

|Have 4 of these washers in service. Two have come up short, so to speak. At first it appears to be problem with the door latch / door frame which has been documented here, but I pulled the door latch and have manually tripped it just after starting the machine, and then tried placing a switch across the BP1 - BP3 terminals (I think it was 1 to 3, I went with wiring diagram that shows which wires are NO and made by the switch once the bimetal unit heats).
Maybe one in ten tries this method works. The rest of the time the thing won't run. This includes refusing multiple times in a row to entire diagnostic mode by starting with dials at 9 and 6 o'clock respectively and holding pre-wash button while pressing the start button. But then the 9th time out of ten the thing enters diagnostic mode and goes through every diagnostic run like we the people.
So there doesn't really seem to be anything broken. I am physically making the door switch or cutting it out and the thing still won't go reliably. The door switch bimetal latch is actually live through the push button door sensor and switched on the neutral side out of the brainiac IC control. On attempted starts when gives up, it sends the neutral, the door switch bimetal does generally make on its own (although I have assisted several tries and jumped it out to make sure) and the drum turns maybe once around a couple times, then after maybe 25 seconds it drops out the neutral and of course the bimetal releases. So the brain is opening the door lock, I believe in response to lack of some input that it is ready to fly.
This thing is driving me to drink (only good thing about it) and I got two of these goddamn things doing the same thing. Next time I'm going after the Fridgidaire at Lowes that actually has a real friggin timer on it with cam driven contacts. This technology been working great for 100 years, what the hell possessed them to put an IC control on a goddamn washer.
Anybody have any religious experiences with these whirlpool labeled italian wonders? I have considered the semi-pro subscription to whirlpool assistance which is like $125, alot more than the small beer fund assembled here. I have 4 of these, so it might be worth it to protect the investment, but I don't know if I am going to get more sophisticated help with serious understanding of the theory of ops and what signal or lack thereof could be causing these machines to bag out. I've been fixing this stuff for 25 years and never been stumped. I've found it not worth it to repair some units but I was always able to figure out what was wrong. These are driving me crazy.
If they actually end up needing brains, which I'm not convinced they do but it wouldn't be worth it at going on $300 a machine (not to mention they got a separate ic controller for the motor). Just the damn bimetal doorswitch is $89 my cost from a wholesale parts distributor who, in my experience, treats me quite fairly. The friggin washers were not much more than $500.
They are a year and change out with relatively low hours so it would be good to save them. But I have a day and a half in between the two of 'em and another half day surfing the net to find diagnostic materials (thanks to appliance guru for having links -- too bad I didn't find this site first). If the whirlpool support for professionals behind servicematters.com or at least it was some link there that got me to a place where I could sign up, is good, I might take the chance. Anybody have any experience with that organization or these washers?

|definitely: LHW0050PQ
here are a few links to other threads discussing the same machine using that serial number.
these are eurotech's relabeled whirlpool. They have had a plethora of problems and every thread I've seen on them makes me think they are really tough to diagnose. Problems come and go. That is the way it was with the first one that went down. They said it wouldn't drain, i.e. stopped mid-cycle. So I go over restart it it drains and runs fun. Then a few days later it stops mid-cycle. Then it won't start. Then it starts.
The old won't stay broken problem.
The door switch and frame problem seemed a plausible explanation, but I have jumped those out to no avail. It runs when it feels like.
One of these posts suggest that the cycle selector switch was actually falling apart. I didn't take a real close look at mine. It wasn't obviously broken but I'm going to go take another look. It definitely has that feel of something that makes contact some times and not others.
Any other thoughts would be a great help. I thought these machines were an affordable effective solution, but they have caused me untold headaches.

|Well, you read my other post regarding the random start/stops that turned out to be the cycle selector dial. As I mentioned there as well, once I reattached the dial and made sure it was properly aligned (stop is stop, color is color, etc) I double-checked all the other electrical connections on the wiring diagram and found three that were close to coming disconnected.
Prior to that problem, I had two blown water inlet valves, which prevented the washer from running -- would return to an unlocked blinking start when it sensed it wasn't getting water. One other thing to check (from personal experience -- it sounds as though you have much more professional experience, so I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir) is that the drain pump is operational, since the washer also checks that prior to starting the cycle.
As mentioned by other on my post, check for crimped, cut, or otherwise damaged pressure tube.
These are from my personal experiences with the washer (which has been fantastic in the year since that last episode -- here's to ten more!). There's a link to the service manual from Pegi on my other post.
Best of luck to you!

I will be in Denver-Estes Park area in late September for a wedding. Never been there before. Can you recommend quilt shops to visit?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I will be in Denver-Estes Park area in late September for a wedding. Never been there before. Can you recommend quilt shops to visit?
Here's some to try out:
In Estes Park:
Denver area:
http://www.threadbearquilts.com/ (Longmont)
http://www.greatamericanquilt.com/ (Denver)
http://www.fabricexpressions.com/ (Littleton/Denver) http://www.harriethargrave.com/default.asp (Wheatridge/Denver)
http://www.emilyssewing.com/ (Lakewood/Denver)
Need any more suggestions? Along the "front range" of Denver and into Wyoming there are many very nice shops. You'll have a good time exploring, I'm sure!
In Addition, you might want to check out:
Creative Needle - Broadway & Ridge Road
Holly's Quilt Cabin - County Line Road and Holly
Tomorrow's Heirlooms - 132nd & I-25
Sewciety - Castlerock, Co
High Prairie Quilts, Parker, CO
I frequent Great American as well as all of the above when I am in their areas. I have not been to Sewciety, but know people who have. There are several nice shops down in the Colorado Springs area too that I have been to & like very much.
Happy Shopping & Quilting,
Tomorrow's Heirlooms is across from a new Walmart. great store. i'm in Broomfield and go there often.
There is also a fabric outlet shop in colorado springs. I have to go down there !!!!! It is called mill outlet fabric shop , 2609 N. Prospect. also ladybug hill quilts 955 E, Fillmore St.
Hope this helps
If you're there long enough look for the Denver Museum, they had a permanent quilt collection when I was there in the 90s Also the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum, which in addition to quilt exhibits has a neat shop
I frequent these shops as well and can vouch for them. There is a store called Denver Fabric that has all kinds of fabrics for good prices.Originally Posted by Angellight
Denver Fabrics used to have tons of cotton/quilting fabric, but they had a big sale a few years ago and got rid of all of it. They have started getting in some batiks and juvenile fabrics, but just a small amount.Originally Posted by GrammaNan
I was just in Denver Fabrics a few months ago and have a pretty good supply of quilting 100% fabric.
all the shops mentioned are good I frequent them all ...
I was in Denver last week visiting my son and family. I always make a trip to The Great American Quilt Factory when I am there. We also went to Golden to the quilt museum. Each time that I have been there, they are displaying different quilts.

Romney: This election is about jobs, not about Obama eating dogs
posted at 4:16 pm on April 18, 2012 by Allahpundit
C'mon. It's a little bit about Obama eating dogs. The data doesn't lie, my friends.
The sad truth: A few more months of weak job growth and The One might actually prefer an election about dog-eating.
Mitt Romney today asserted that the general election will be about "jobs not dogs," when asked by a radio host today about the media's focus on his former dog Seamus and the president's admission that he once ate dog meat.
"This campaign is ultimately going to become about jobs not dogs," said Romney in an interview with Bill Cunningham on WLW radio in Ohio. "You recognize of course that some members of the media, and certainly the DNC and the White house itself are going to do everything in their power to divert the attention of the voter from the failure of the president to try to turn around the economy."…
Romney appeared uninterested in furthering the story line about his own dog or the president's childhood meals, instead bringing the focus of the interview back to the way President Obama has handled the economy.
As president and would-be president, O and Mitt have to rise above the mouth-breathing stupidity of dog-themed talking points. Fortunately for bloggers like me who are hungry for cheap traffic, there are plenty of surrogates out there who don't. Tell 'em what's up, "Dogs Against Romney" guy:
The founder of the grassroots organization Dogs Against Romney called the Romney campaign "desperate" for dredging up the revelations that President Obama ate dog meat as a child in Indonesia.
"It seems desperate for the Romney campaign to bring up something that happened to Obama when he was 10 years old, not preparing his own meals, in a country where eating dog meat probably isn't all that unusual as if it compares in any way to Romney, as a 36-year old adult, in America, making the conscious decision to strap his family pet to the roof of a car for a 12-hour drive, and leaving it up there even after it got sick."…
"If President Obama had made the conscious decision to eat dog meat as a 36-year old adult, in America, claimed the dog liked being eaten, and still claimed he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, the Romney campaign would have a point and my pack would be on the president like a pack of wild, well….dogs," Crider wrote. "But that isn't what happened."
I love the fact that even for a meme as dumb as this, which is being pushed as a goof on how moronic the Democrats' "dog" attacks on Romney are, you've still got Obama shills very earnestly engaging with the subject to try to draw a contrast. But then, they have to, right? Like I said last night, the story about Mitt and Seamus really is part of Hopenchange's campaign strategy. They're not going to win on the issues but maybe, if they spend enough, they can create enough of a "likability gap" to nose out Romney at the wire. See streiff at Red State for more on that. Quote: "If he can convince you that Romney is a cross between Scrooge McDuck and Moe Howard who adheres to a very strange set of religious beliefs then he wins."
Here's Scarborough and company treating the "dog" wars with precisely the degree of seriousness that they deserve.

Although it has been some time, I remember very well that it was a great experience to stay at this appartment for some days. We even stayed longer than intended and that was no problem at all. Beautiful view when sitting on the rooftop at night or day. The slanted walls throughout the whole appartment give it a funky feeling, but is a bit inconvenient for very tall people. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting a Lisboa city experience, as it is very central and close to most sights.

Great apartment in a perfect location. Highly recommended!
We had a very nice stay in an amazing apartment in an amazing city. Very good contact with the host before and during the travel.
10/10 would book again.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Upsides - Absolutely amazing location. Beautiful apartment. Friendly staff. Bottle of wine on arrival. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay.
Downsides - hot water service would heat up once, then shutdown and had to be reset 2 hours prior to every shower. Pillows were really flat and little. Tried to charge extra 30 euros/night when I requested a 3rd bed to be made up. Left waiting for an hour after arranging the arrival time by email and had to make an extra phone call. No hand towels in bathrooms. Had to buy more toilet paper. A partial roll in each bathroom is not sufficient for a 4 days stay for 3 people!
We had a wonderful stay in Lisbon. The location is terrific if you wish to be a part of the famous Fado neighborhood. Great restaurants directly across from the Fado Museum. The climb to the apartment is around 100 steps, but once you get there the view from both sides is well worth it. The apartment is very comfortable and very clean. It would comfortably sleep 4
Amazing apartment, amazing location, amazing host.
Perfect location for Bairro Alto where there is alot of restaurants, cafés and bars. Also short distance to Chiado and all transportation to go where ever you would like to go. The apparatment is big anough for 3, maybe 4 people/family. It has one big bedrom and to sleeping couches. There is a bar on the corner so there are some noises, especially in the weekends. I will absolutely recommend this appartment.
Great apartment in the very heart of town. I'd recommend it to everybody!
Mooie locatie in een levendige buurt, vlakbij metro Cais do Sodré. Het appartement zelf is ruim en comfortabel, en heeft gelukkig heel isolerend glas want de buurt is nogal rumoerig 's nachts. Bij het woord 'luxury' (en voor die prijs) had ik wel verwacht dat er iets van douchegel voorzien was, of wat basics in de keuken. Niet dus. En nog een minpuntje: check-in is pas om 16u.

I aim to provide a dynamic and interdisciplinary perspective of the natural world. Class time is an opportunity to capture students' interest, and I constantly adjust my approach to ensure that they are engaged. We use discussions, writing assignments, presentations, laboratory activities, and field trips to learn the material, working together and learning as a team. Course assignments offer the opportunity for me to judge student performance, but also for me to evaluate my effectiveness as an instructor so that I can improve. The most rewarding part of teaching is when students understand a topic that had been intimidating; they become proud, confident, and interested.

B BIOL 495 Investigative Biology: Experiential Evolution
I study how evolution is understood. Within the biology education community, I research how students overcome the conceptual difficulties surrounding evolution. Within the evolutionary biology community, I research the ecological and phylogenetic influences on anatomical characteristics. More information can be found on my personal website.
I am co-Principal Investigator (with Dr. Kathryn E. Perez, University of Wisconsin at La Crosse) of a grant from the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) to explore students' misconceptions about evolution more broadly and to develop concept inventories (CIs), research-based tools for quickly assessing students' conceptual understanding of particularly challenging scientific concepts. Our Working Group is developing concept inventories for genetic drift, evo-devo, dominance-recessive relationships and population thinking.
I have developed numerous activities for teaching evolution. These activities help students engage and learn in a supportive classroom where they can seek clarification. The feedback that students provide during the activities helps instructors tailor their teaching to the students' needs.
I study the effects of different ecological variables on the marine snail, Nucella lamellose on growth rates and eating rates. To explain why the individuals of N. lamellosa in intertidal populations are so much smaller than individuals in subtidal populations, I conducted a laboratory study to test the hypothesis that daily episodes of emersion impede growth more than daily episodes of limiting food (Price 2012). My results supported the hypothesis. Therefore, the difference in size between intertidal and subtidal individuals may be due, at least in part, to phenotypic plasticity.
I encourage undergraduates who are interested in independent study to contact me. Many components of research offer practical experience important for anyone, and we can work together to identify a project for you to study.

Noel Judicial Complex in Warwick and often involves contending with defense attorneys who want to minimize the plight of the victim and to minimize her role as advocate. Victims themselves will also minimize their abuse, she said, and blame themselves for what happened to them.
"Domestic violence cases are some of the most difficult cases to work with because victims often return to unhealthy situations rather than try to get themselves out of those situations," said Leahey. "Victims aren't perfect, they make bad decisions." Yet Leahey remains undeterred.
She said, "I and my colleagues feel very strongly that abusers need to be held accountable. We want them to get the message we're trying to send – their behavior is not acceptable in our society."
Leahey graduated from Rhode Island College in 1998, with a double-major in justice studies and sociology. She said she became interested in victimology when she took a course in that area with Pamela Irving Jackson, professor of sociology and director of justice studies at the college. Following Jackson's course, Leahey engaged in an internship at Day One (formerly known as The Rape Crisis Center), where she had her first opportunity to witness the impact of crime on victims.
"I remember being really nervous when I met with victims at hospitals or at the police station making their initial report, but I received a great deal of training and support from colleagues at Day One," she said. "The point they kept driving home to me was not to feed off of the victim's crisis by getting upset. Even if they are crying or hysterical or angry, refocus them and calm them down, because they need to be calm to absorb the information I'm giving them."
Today, she is manager of advocacy services for the Elizabeth Buffam Chace Center in Warwick, with her main office situated at the Governor Philip W. Noel Judicial Complex. Her goal is to increase the successful prosecution of cases and support victims throughout the lengthy investigation and court process.
Leahey has also been proactive in training police cadets on assault and domestic violence issues at the police academy, and she is working with the attorney general's office to create training for city and town prosecutors. "When police, attorneys, judges and advocates work together on a case, there is more likely to be a good outcome for the victim," she said. "Though my job is challenging, it is one that I am so proud to do."
Jackson, Leahey's former teacher, expressed pride in Leahey's induction into the Criminal Justice Hall of Fame. She said, "Her interest, involvement and expertise in working effectively with multiple agencies in policing, courts and advocacy have propelled program development in domestic violence protections forward."

Why did you delete all you Double K stuff?
How do you get such smooth lines? Freehand?
I like your comics but I think you may be being a little harsh on Simon. Other than that your art is awsome and the comic is really funny
Have you ever considered drawing Lupin the 3rd and the gang? Cause your style really reminds me of those comics. Especially Zenigata!
Also a big fan of that Double-K comic. Great job!
Some good stuff man, can't wait for the next chapter. Kanimas even more badass than ever (though of course, whether it be his speeches, big brotherness with Simon, jokes, or just being badass, no one can capture what made kanima awesome) also it was a little annoying at first with Simon being a lot more of a pussy than he ever was, but I'm used to it now. I want me some of that spiral now!

UK Man Questioned for Photographing Daughter in Shopping Center

The photo that Chris White took of his daughter Hazel in the Braehead shopping center
(Source: BBC News)
UK citizen Chris White took his daughter, Hazel, to the Braehead shopping center near Glasgow on Friday and ran into trouble when photographing her within the mall
The U.S. has had its share of photo-related issues when police officers were
arresting citizens for videotaping or photographing them
while on duty. But a recent incident in the UK took the prohibition of photography to an entirely new level when a citizen was told he was not allowed to photograph his own daughter.
UK citizen Chris White took his daughter to the Braehead shopping center near Glasgow on Friday and ran into trouble when photographing her within the mall.
According to White, he had photographed his daughter eating an ice cream while "looking cute on the back of a Vespa seat at an ice cream bar." He had uploaded the photos to Facebook.
White was then approached by a security guard, who told him to delete the photos he had taken. The security guard also mentioned that there were signs within the establishment saying that photographs were not allowed. Apparently, employees at the ice cream bar had told security that they were suspicious of White for taking pictures at their counter, and had thought that he was also taking pictures of them.
White told the security guard that he had already sent the two photos to Facebook, and that's when the
police were called
. They took White's information and noted that they could take the mobile phone as well under the Prevention of Terrorism Act. White was then allowed to leave.
A spokesman for the Braehead shopping center assured that the police were polite about dealing with the situation, and that the matter was handled correctly.
"Our priority is always to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for all of our shoppers and retailers," said the Braehead spokesman. "The member of our security staff acted in good faith. We have a
'no photography' policy
in the centre to protect the privacy of staff and shoppers and to have a legitimate opportunity to challenge suspicious behavior if required. However, it is not our intention to -- and we do not -- stop innocent family members taking pictures."
Superintendent George Nedley, of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde division, said a "full review" has been launched in regards to a complaint regarding White's photography incident.

Tuskegee Airman, Lt. Calvin J. Spann, Spoke to SRO Crowd at Miller Branch's 10th Annual Black History Month Program
The Jersey City Free Public Library proudly hosted a standing room-only audience of over 300 for the presentation of one of our country's true heroes – Tuskegee Airman Lt. Calvin J. Spann – who was a featured guest speaker at the 10th Annual Black History Month program of the Miller Branch Library on Wednesday evening, February 29, 2012, whose theme was "Service, Honor, and Respect, Strengthening Our Culture and Community."
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated, working in conjunction with the Miller Branch to produce the 10th annual Black History Month program, first presented Stomp Exhibitions and a special award to Chief Darren E. Rivers, Jersey City Fire Department. Live performances of song, music and dance, a skit by Playtime Productions, and drills from the cadets of the Eagle Flight Squadron, Inc. Youth in Aviation program rounded out the program.
The honored guest spoke because of the generosity of state, county, city official, library and foundation trustees, employees and friends, all of whom have contributed toward Lt. Spann's speaking fee, because there has been no program money over the last 3.5 years due to the severe cuts to the library's budget. All donors who made this program possible were formally thanked within the souvenir program.
There were other Tuskegee Airmen in the audience, honoring one of their own. In his remarks, Lt. Calvin J. Spann told of his experiences as a pilot during World War II – and a few jokes, too! He was a poised, well-spoken man, with a youthful man's energy, belying his 87 years.
Lt. Spann proved his mettle as a remarkable hero for the ages. It was a pleasure for the Miller Branch Library Staff of the Jersey City Free Public Library to have presented such a national treasure. The audience was in awe when Lt. Spann walked into auditorium. He saluted his fellow Tuskegee Airmen, who saluted in return. Lt. Spann received a standing ovation.
Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy gave Lt. Spann the Key to the City, and proclamations were presented by NJ State Senator Sandra B. Cunningham (31st LD) and Councilwoman At Large Viola Richardson, as well as representatives for US Congressman Donald Payne (10th CD) and Hudson County Freeholder Jeffrey Dublin. Library Board President Sondra E. Buesing Riley and Secretary Alicia Bass, along with Library Foundation Board Members Roselyn Jackson and Tony Gardner, attended.
After the program, Lt. Spann indicated he was impressed with the crowd and the awards he received, not with false humility, but with pride for having served his country well. At the program's end, Lt. Spann graciously held court and signed autographs for anyone who wanted one.
A precocious and smart young man, Calvin Spann was a Golden Gloves boxing champion at age 16 and left to join the war effort during his senior high school year. He passed a two-year college equivalency test, and at age 17, was called to serve in the Army Air Corps, one month before he would have graduated.
This "Red Tail" fighter, named after the tail of the P51 Mustangs flown by the Tuskegee Airmen, hails from Rutherford, NJ, and lived in Englewood only until one year ago when he moved to Allex, TX.
Enduring his father's death while in high school and being the oldest male in his family, Lt. Spann was not told by his mother that his home had burned down since he was recently stationed in Italy. She did not want to jeopardize her son's military service, because the Red Cross would have sent him home.
Lt. Calvin J. Spann volunteered for the Army Air Corps and was sent to Tuskegee, AL to start aviation cadet training in 1943. After training completion, Lieutenant Spann was sent to Italy as a replacement combat pilot and given an instruction manual to fly the P51 Mustang fighter plane. His assignment was with the 100th Fighter Squadron, part of the 332nd Fighter Group. Lt. Spann flew 26 combat missions in Europe before the end of World War II, and leaving Italy, was honorably discharged in the United States in 1946. He remained in the Air Force Reserves until 1961, though did not formally retire.
Lt. Spann opted to leave the reserves because of the limited scheduling opportunities allowed for African Americans to fly. "I was trying to go to school at nights and work during the day. I couldn't spend the weekends trying to get a plane and not even get one. They didn't allocate enough planes for people to get their time in. And pilots have to fly at least four hours a month to qualify for flying pay. Not getting a chance to fly, I decided to get my discharge."
Furthermore, Spann eventually worked in pharmaceutical sales, taking that job after his applications to fly commercial planes after the war were grounded. Only after a 1963 U.S. Supreme Court ruling to force the major commercial airlines to hire African Americans as pilots, which happened too late for Lt. Spann's pilot career, did desegregation in commercial aviation occur.
Previously, on July 29, 1948, through the efforts of U.S. President Harry S. Truman, the U.S. military formally desegregated, and it was the Tuskegee Airmen, a segregated military unit, that opened the skies for all others to fly.
Lt. Calvin J. Spann distinguished himself while serving in the Army Air Corps, 100th Fighter Squadron, 332nd Fighter Group, receiving many military awards, among them the Air Medal with one oak leaf cluster, a Presidential Unit Citation, and the Mediterranean Theatre of Operation ribbon. In addition, this Tuskegee Airman earned the American Theatre and World War II Victory button.
Lt. Spann has received many other prestigious honors, including being inducted into the New Jersey Aviation Hall of Fame, and being invited to The White House by President Barack Obama, along with other Tuskegee Airmen and their families, for a Veterans' Day event. In 2006, Tuskegee University awarded Calvin a Doctor of Public Service degree.
When describing his flying missions, which were escorting bombers and doing reconnaissance work, Lt. Spann has joked, "That first ride is a thrill, even for a young crazy guy." Believe it or not, he didn't think his missions were scary. "We were trained to feel that if something was going to happen, it would be to the other guy, not you. Prayer has always been in the forefront of what I've tried to do."
Yes, truly… On a wing, and a prayer…
QUITE AN HONOR… Jersey City Library Board President Sondra E. Buesing Riley greets Tuskegee Airman Lt. Calvin J. Spann at the Miller Branch Library Black History Month program.
WELCOME! – Miller Branch Library Head Reneé Moody welcomes the SRO audience of over 300 to the 10th Annual Black History Month program on February 29, 2012.
THANK YOU – The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., which co-sponsored the Black History Month program at Miller for the last several years, gave the library the book, What Color Is My World? The Lost History of African-American Inventors by Kareen Abdul-Jabar. Priscilla Gardner, library director for the Jersey City Free Public Library, accepted the book.
STOMP! – The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. performed a rousing stomp exhibition of several drills.

Micron Jumps On Q1 EPS, Revenue Beat
Micron (MU) was up more than 6% just after reporting better than expected fiscal first quarter earnings.
Micron said it earned 77 cents a share on revenue of $4.04 billion. Analysts were expecting the company to earn 51 cents a share on revenue of $3.7 billion.
Revenues from DRAM products grew 69% quarter-over-quarter, while sales of NAND flash products grew 8% quarter-over-quarter. Consolidated gross margins widened from 25% to 32%.
Micron, which rose 5% during regular trading, is up more than 185% in the past year. It was the second best technology performer in the S&P 500 in 2013, behind Netflix (NFLX), so there has been plenty of speculation about whether or not the stock has room left to run. The shares garnered a downgrade last week.

Reacting to denied gun bill
A proposal to expand background checks on gun sales is defeated in the U.S. Senate. The plan failed to get the 60 votes needed to pass.
The final tally was 54-46 and many have local views on such a controversial topic.
Melissa Dean says she was disgusted, but unfortunately not surprised, "Very strong supporters for the right to bear arms and such think it is hurting their rights but it is not."
Dean thinks background checks are the only way to prevent tragedies like the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary and the Colorado movie massacre from happening. Both have one common denominator-- mental illness. She believes checking for these factors will help, but not everyone agrees.
Joy Frizzell says, "They shouldn't punish everyone because there's one person that's nuts.
Some feel no matter what today's outcome there wouldn't be much change.
Matt Reimer with Shooters Edge says, "I have to do background checks anyway for whoever comes in my store and the same thing for gun shows."
Reimer says the only thing that would have been affected is private sales which he says is hard to regulate anyway.
He thinks there is already enough legislation, "There are laws on the books in place to keep the bad guys from getting guns in their hands."
One issue some people say they would like to see monitored more closely is mental illness.

Lukas Podolski was "proud" to don Arsenal's colours for the first time against former side Cologne on Sunday - and says he has felt at home at the Club since day one.
Podolski scored twice as the Gunners rounded off pre-season with a comfortable 4-0 victory at the RheinEnergieStadion.
The Germany international concedes scoring against his boyhood club was difficult but hopes his promising debut is just the beginning of a memorable career for Arsenal.
"I have felt like a part of Arsenal from the first day and I am very proud to play here and wear the shirt," Podolski told Arsenal Player.
"I enjoyed it a lot. Before the game a lot of the players were surprised about the city and about the stadium. It was a great match and in my first game I scored two goals, so it was very good. It was a good test for us and I hope we can win against Sunderland next week.
"It was not so easy [to score against Cologne]. I played a lot of games for a lot of years in Cologne. They were my club when I was a young boy, so it is not easy to score two goals against your team.
"You see after the game that [the fans] still love me! I was very surprised about the Arsenal fans because there were a lot in the stadium. I heard them cry my name and I was very surprised!
"We have been having two sessions a day, now it is back to London, a day off and then we can start to concentrate on the game against Sunderland."

Kid's Backpacks: Lighten the Load!
Backpacks can make carrying a lot of items easier and kids often use them to haul their schoolbooks to and from home and classes. They have pretty much become a part of many children's personal dress code. When backpacks are used properly, they are actually very handy.
Unfortunately, if your child is carrying too many heavy objects in their backpack they could start experiencing severe back pain.
Lots of studies have been done on the impact of overloaded backpacks on school children. A recent study from Northern Spain points out that children carrying more than 10% of their body weight in backpacks, report more back pain than those carrying lighter packs. Most people would say that's just common sense. But lots of parents don't realize just how heavy their kid's backpacks get throughout the day.
1,403 school children took part in the study at Hospital da Costa in Burela and University Hospital Son Dureta in Palma. The study was then reported in Archives of Disease in Childhood.
Most doctors and physical therapists recommend that kids carry no more than 10% of their body weight in their packs.
Measurements were taken from students- aged 12-17 - from 11 schools in Northern Spain. It showed that nearly two thirds of pupils had backpacks that broke the 10% rule.
The weight of the bags was then analyzed for back pain. They were measured as - at least 15 days in a year- with back pain.
The pupils were split into four groups based on the weight of their bags. Pupils in the group with the heaviest bags were 50% more likely to have reported back pain than in the group with the lightest bags.
The report said back pain was a bigger problem in schoolgirls and that the risk increased with age.
Backpacks are not likely to go away anytime soon, so how can you help your child use one correctly?
Kidshealth.org offers several ways to lighten the load and discusses how backpacks affect a child's body.
To begin, start by choosing the right kind of backpack for your child. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that parents look for the following when choosing the right backpack:
- A lightweight pack that doesn't add a lot of weight to your child's load (for example, even though leather packs look cool, they weigh more than traditional canvas backpacks.)
- Two wide, padded shoulder straps; straps that are too narrow can dig into shoulders.
- A padded back, which not only provides increased comfort, but also protects kids from being poked by sharp edges on objects (pencils, rulers, notebooks, etc.) inside the pack.
- A waist belt, which helps to distribute the weight more evenly across the body.
- Multiple compartments, which can help distribute the weight more evenly.
Help your child understand how to use their backpack wisely. Proper handling can result in viewer injuries.
First of all, lighten the load. No matter how well designed the backpack, doctors and physical therapists recommend that kids carry packs of no more than 10% to 15% of their body weight, but less is always better. If you don't know what that 10% to 15% feels like, use the bathroom scale (for example, the backpack of a child who weighs 80 pounds shouldn't weigh more than 8 to 12 pounds).
Use and pick up the backpack properly. Make sure kids use both shoulder straps. Bags that are slung over the shoulder or across the chest, or that only have one strap aren't as effective at distributing the weight as bags with two wide shoulder straps, and therefore may strain muscles. Also tighten the straps enough for the backpack to fit closely to the body. The pack should rest evenly in the middle of the back and not sag down to the buttocks.
Once a child heads out the door with his or her backpack - the responsibility of preventing injury and packing lightly becomes theirs.
- Encourage kids to use their locker or desk frequently throughout the day instead of carrying the entire day's worth of books in the backpack.
- Make sure kids don't tote unnecessary items; laptops, cell phones, and video games can add extra pounds to a pack.
- Encourage kids to bring home only the books needed for homework or studying each night.
- Ask about homework planning. A heavier pack on Fridays might mean that a child is procrastinating on homework until the weekend, making for an unnecessarily heavy backpack.
- Picking up the backpack the right way can also help kids avoid back injuries. As with any heavy weight, they should bend at the knees and grab the pack with both hands when lifting a backpack to the shoulders.
- Use all of the backpack's compartments, putting heavier items, such as textbooks, closest to the center of the back.
Again, many of the tips offered seem like simple common sense strategies, but school children don't usually have the life experience to understand what is and isn't common sense. It's a good idea for parents to review these backpack safety tips with their children, so they can understand how the weight they carry affects their bodies.
If your child complains about back pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in their arms or legs have them seen by your pediatrician or family doctor.

These assessments serve a number of purposes, including determining the client's current health status, tracking progress and motivating a client. (See Table 11-1 on page 293 for full details.) Here's what you need to learn from these chapters: What are these different assessments telling us? Who are they appropriate for? And are there any contraindications? Chapter 11 reviews the different body-composition and body-size assessments one can use with a client. Body composition looks at the content of an individual's mass (fat mass vs. fat-free mass), while body size is simply an absolute measurement (height, weight, girth measurements, etc.). Both have advantages and disadvantages, so this chapter breaks down which assessment is more appropriate in various circumstances. Both body composition and fat distribution can provide important health-related information; however, when someone is very overweight or obese, skinfold measurements can be inaccurate. In these cases, girth measurements would be a more appropriate assessment. Also, keep in mind that these assessments can be uncomfortable and embarrassing for a client; therefore, an overweight or obese client doesn't need to be reminded that his or her percent body fat is in the "obese" category. For this reason, girth measurements can also serve as a helpful tool because you're not classifying the client in any category; you're simply getting a starting measurement from which to track future progress. Finally, keep in mind that these assessments are always an option and never a requirement, so if the client doesn't feel comfortable doing them, don't! Hopefully with time he or she will be more comfortable with assessments. Chapter 12 cover the types of physiological assessments one might want to perform with clients. Again, going back to the question of who the assessment is appropriate for, clients who are starting in Phase 1 of cardiovascular training do not need to perform a cardiovascular assessment until they reach phase 2. You can, however, gain valuable information your client's mobility and stability by using the other assessments, regardless of whether your client is a beginner or seasoned exerciser. These assessments will help you create a workout program for your client that addresses any compensations that may become evident. Chapter 11 Key Points: Body-composition Assessment and Evaluation Understanding Body Composition: Body-composition models—essential fat for men and women; body composition and health risks—waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratios (WHR) and related health risks; desirable body weight and percent body fat—percent norms for men, women and female athlete triad; ideal body weight—knowing how to calculate ideal/desired body weight (see example in "Apply What You Know" on page 297). Body-composition Assessment of Morbidly Obese Clients: Methods such as bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) may not give an accurate reading, so girth measurements might be the best choice. Also, keep in mind that we want to creat positive experiences for our clients, so if they aren't comfortable these assessments, don't do them! Body-composition Assessment Techniques: For each of the following techniques, you will want to know who the assessment is appropriate for, the basic procedure, and any advantages/disadvantages: body mass index (BMI), circumference measures, skinfold calipers. -BMI: know how to calculate it and the BMI Reference Chart (Table 11-5) -Circumference Measures: Anatomical locations of different sites (Table 11-6); how to calculate waste-to-hip ratio (WHR) and the norms (Table 11-7). Note: you do NOT need to know the body density (BD) equation on page 301 for the exam. -Skinfold measurements: Three different sites for men and women and how to interpret (NOT memorize) Table 11-9 and 11-10 -Know what and how the following might be used: bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), hydrostatic weighing, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), air displacement plethysmography (ADP), near-infrared interactance (NIR). Chapter 12 Key Points: Physical-fitness Assessments General assessment guidelines: Know the considerations listed on page 316-317 Baseline resting measurements: Know the basic procedure and function for each of the following measurements: -Heart rate: resting heart rate, exercise heart -Blood pressure: What the normal responses to exercise are and classification of blood pressures (Table 12-2) Cardio assessments: Know who these assessments are appropriate for, any contraindications, and any advantages or disadvantages of each (e.g., with the 1-mile walk test you can assess multiple people at one time). -Ventilatory threshold testing: VT1 (submaximal talk test) -Treadmill test: Balke and Ware treadmill test -Field tests: Rockport 1-mile walk test Static posture, balance, and core function assessments: Know the objective (what information you gather) of each assessment, contraindications, and why you may or may not elect to use these assessments with a client. -Plumb line -Stork-stand balance test and Sharpened Romberg Test -McGill's Torso Muscular Endurance Test Battery (trunk Flexor endurance, trunk lateral endurance, trunk extensor endurance) -Mobility assessment: modified body-weight squat test and overhead reach
