New GOP Voice in Gun Talks
WASHINGTON—Senate Democrats' efforts to tighten gun regulations are receiving late help from an unexpected figure: Sen. Pat Toomey, a conservative Republican from Pennsylvania.
Backed by tea-party groups when he arrived in the Senate two years ago, Mr. Toomey has until now focused largely on fiscal issues. But last week he began discussions with Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) about expanding background checks on gun purchases, just as Democrats' negotiations with another Republican lawmaker appeared to fizzle.
Sen. Tom Coburn (R., Okla.) had been working with Mr. Manchin on a bipartisan deal broadening background checks to nearly all firearm purchases. But Mr. Coburn has split with Democrats over whether to require unlicensed sellers to keep a paper record verifying that a background check had been conducted before making a sale.
While both GOP lawmakers have an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association, Mr. Toomey could have an easier time hashing out a deal with Mr. Manchin. In Pennsylvania, 94% of residents support requiring background checks for all gun sales, according to a Franklin & Marshall College Poll this year.
Messrs. Toomey and Manchin are working on expanding background checks to unlicensed sellers at gun shows and online, but not to other private sales, according to someone familiar with the negotiations. Currently, only federally licensed dealers must perform background checks and maintain a record of the sale. Mr. Toomey's office didn't return a request for comment.
Mr. Manchin had been working with Sens. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.) and Mark Kirk (R., Ill.) to expand the background-check requirement to include most sales by people who aren't licensed dealers.
Mr. Toomey would face re-election in 2016, and his stance could especially prove popular in the suburbs of Philadelphia and in the Lehigh Valley north of the city, said G. Terry Madonna, the Franklin & Marshall poll's director. "Those are the swing voters," and they tend to support efforts to tighten gun regulation, he said.
Meanwhile, some Oklahomans who attended Mr. Coburn's home-state public meetings last week said they were wary that paper records could lead to a national registry of gun owners.
Mr. Toomey's home state already has some tougher restrictions in place than the federal law mandates. In Pennsylvania, any individual or dealer selling a handgun must sell or transfer it at a licensed dealer or county sheriff's office, where an instant records check is required. Individuals may transfer rifles and shotguns without a records check, according to the NRA.
If he signed on to a background-check bill, Mr. Coburn, a noted skeptic of federal powers and a longtime advocate for gun rights, would provide significant cover for Republicans and red-state Democrats to do the same. Still, Mr. Toomey's conservative credentials on fiscal issues could help draw Republican support. He is a former president of the Club for Growth, an influential small-government group.
"His engagement would send a very strong signal to people who are wavering" that supporting expanded background checks would be, "if not a safe vote, then not as dangerous a vote as the conventional wisdom might hold," said Kristin Goss, a professor at Duke University's Sanford School of Public Policy.
It isn't yet clear which other Republicans might support a deal on background checks beyond Mr. Kirk, but Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) has said he is open to considering a bipartisan proposal, his spokesman said.
Still, even a bipartisan deal would face strong resistance from some Republicans. In a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, 13 Republicans objected to moving forward with "any legislation that will serve as a vehicle for any additional gun restrictions." Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) also would oppose bringing the bill to the floor, his spokesman said Monday.
However, other Republicans have said the Senate should vote on the gun measures, bolstering Democrats' chances of being able to bring the bill to the floor.

This looks like a good idea.
You might add some kind of frame holder/hangers in the sink or even above the sink on the opposite side you will be working from. Fill your frame let it hang and drip dry while you fill the next one. That way you don't spend time/energy shaking off the excess drops. Also will leave more sugar water in the sink instead of the floor.
I spent an hour last PM replying to the comments & questions here and sawthus AM my post isn't here???
Anyway thanks for all the feedback. I'll try to answer specific questions this PM but after wasting an entire hour yesterday doing just that & seeing my effort ended up floating around in cyberspace is a downer.
My final version should be on YouTube. I left my computer downloading the video last night & have not seen if it went up..the other unit someone posted is my prototype.
I got this idea from the French Bee Farm filling unit & adapted the concept to my scale/budget.

Challenger_ Thank you for detailed post. I really appreciate the time you put into sharing your creation. I would drop the full frames into hive bodies and pack them out to the yard. If dripping is a concern then sit the hive body on a tub or over a tub and the extra could be poured back into the tank.
As far as robbing I can't see why that would increase the robbing unless your using honey b healthy or something like it. Maybe someone could tell me what would make them do it.
Does the syrup need to be heated? I would think it would be fine.
Again thank you for the ideas to me it makes the most sense out of all the feeder I've seen out there.
I thought of another question....do the bees need to suck up the sugar water like nectar so if can be ripened like honey or do the bees eat it as is?
Pretty cool. So is this 2:1 syrup? Or something thinner or thicker?
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
Great video and very cool machine. Why do you have it partially wrapped with plastic wrap? Is there a lot of splashing?

I would think something like this would be even better for a large apiary or even a commercial pollinator but I am not either of those and I imagine they have their ways. Thanks
I filled frames and transported 12 in a tote to a friends apiary. The frames drain off in the tote and the excess syrup at the bottom is poured into a container and reused. The tote gets a bit sticky so a wet rag is always handy. This goes for me anytime I mess with syrup because a tiny bit on my hand gets transmitted to anything I touch so I just try and keep this at zero.
I am not trying to sell this system or idea. Just thought I would show anyone that might find it interesting. I have no plans to sell or dreams of marketing this thing.
Another thing that I found as a side benefit was using my home made HBH with this system. The HBH formula, home made or store bought, uses essential oils & I've found them difficult to keep emulsified in the syrup. If it separates out any bees that come into contact with some of these oils are going to die. Mixing it with the spraying action guarantees there won't be a concentration in the syrup that would harm the bees.
Another thing is medication. It would be super easy to include any water soluble medication in the syrup and give the bees the medication in a frame(s) of syrup. I've never used these so I don't know if it is a great way to administer medication such as Terramycin but I've heard there are some meds that are difficult to mix?
Thanks all,
Hampstead, NC

Keeping bees to raise money for chordoma.
I have such a frame filler. As pointed out earlier W. Kelley had such a unit for sale in the 70's. Beemaid (Canadian beekeeping co-operative) also sold those for awhile. I believe I have one of those models. They are ok on an emergency feeding system. The nice thing about Howardès is he is using an electric motor vrsus the gas powered one I have on my machine. The noise from that machine is irritating. Warm syrup is way better. I do not have a system where I can warm a large quantity of syrup. I find this type of system requires a lot of cleaning to keep the manifold clean. A lot of wax particles tend to accumulate and partially block the holes then next thing you know the syrup is spraying you or is ending up on the floor.
For commercial guys it is just easier to fill a frame feeder. This system is ok for hives that are not especially strong and would have trouble taking syrup because they are sorta weak and temperatures are cool yet they need feed.
It might seem silly but the shorter you can make the repetitive motion the better unless you are only going to do ten frames.
You can hirer an operator for less then 10 bucks an hour but a workman's comp case bumps that up to about 50. I built a lot of machinery based on those numbers.

Good point about the particles. Filling frames of comb dislodges debry in/on the frame. I spent a whole day trying to figure out how to prevent the holes from clogging. Then I just took a kitchen screen style strainer and placed it over the drain of the tub and no problem. Almost all the debry floats anyway so it is not a problem for my system except for the particles that can & will sink.
I put caps on the end of my spray bars so it will be easy to uncap them & run a bottle brush through.
I noticed today that some holes were spraying odd so when I was done filling I boiled 3 gallons of water and let that cycle through the machine as I used the drain hose to clean the tub. It cleared out the few spray holes that started acting up but I think I'll clean the bars out before using it again.
A bad spray pattern could easily lead to syrup leaving the tub.
What type of pump is on that machine? I wonder if an electrical conversion is an easy switch. Normally you can trade an electric motor at 2/3 the size of a gas motor. Just need to get the 3450 RPM electric motor.

Do you have a filter on it to reuse the over spray? Looks like a nice setup.
We sprayed over 6000 frame this winter for packages and splits for this year. Been doing the frame spraying for over 10 years now. Just wish the bees could fill the frames that FAST, that way I wouldn't have to.
Good luck,
The only filter I have is a large stainless mesh kitchen type strainer that I placed over the tub drain. It does a great job & being large it doesn't keep particles from choking off the pump.
The pump needs a good supply or it will start putting air into the syrup.
When I reuse the excess syrup from a previous session I strain it going into the tub as well. It is just a little precaution but is too easy to not do.

It would help if you didn't suck the syrup directly off the bottom. If you put a pipe in the drain to raise the inlet 1 or 2 inches off the bottom. The light debris floats to the top surface and the heavy debris sinks to the bottom. This would be typical for any hydraulic application.

Well I love it! going to build one with a jacket for running HFCS. Mocking it up this weekend with a Diaghapram pump I use to feed HFCS anyway (truck mounted hose reel)
One question I have you mentioned a syrup your buying thats surcrose and cheaper than HFCS?? what and where?

First off, the soldiers start trouble trying to loot a nice wine-loving Rasta lady on the island of the peaced-out Ciconians. "These Greeks, they want a bailout, man, what do you think?" say the red-beaked natives, peeved, before doing clanking, gravity-defying battle.
Our hero gets his men out of there, only to have them hang him up again on the next island: "Hey, smell this, man," invite the dredlocked Lotus Eaters, who themselves sniff so much "super pollen" from the Holland Lotus that their rainbow-swathed bodies spin, literally, in mid-air. "Have you forsaken your home for the decadent Lotus flowers?!" Odysseus bellows at his men, finding them sprawled in a pile of limbs with the giggling natives. "Pretty much, man," is the blitzed consensus.
Odysseus handily calls upon the spirit of Nancy Reagan to bring the soldiers to their senses, only to promptly land them on a shore with the big, dumb, hungry Cyclops. This time, the soldiers make their escape strapped in strapped intimately to the underside of the monster's cherished sheep, which, being literally double-jointed, are remarkably nubile creatures. Will the foibles never end for Odysseus and his men?
Not for another three gravity-defying episodes. The Greek guy's still got a long way to go, and there's a lot more yanking in store for his rod. Between sea monsters, ship-wrecking Sirens, and the insatiable attentions of a witch goddess, there'll be no sleep 'til Ithaca.

Fellow TDHers,
We have a number of new announcements to make so please read carefully.
After a recent assessment regarding ways in which we can better serve the members of TDH, we have begun what we hope to be a series of successful changes. The first change has already been implemented which was the addition of the "Dented Variants" forum to better accommodate those who wish to make Mandalorian style armor that is different than Boba or Jango.
I know many people have questioned why this has been done when TDH has always taken such a strong stance against custom mandalorians. As stated above and in previous threads, we have decided to do this in an effort to better serve our members. While custom mandalorians may not be Boba Fett, the techniques and item they use are often the same or very similar to what is seen on Boba and Jango and we do not want to continue to ostracize a segment of our membership as we have done in the past.
In that same vein, I am proud to announce that we are bringing Remo Locke and Jodo Kast 3 to moderate this new forum. Both RM and JK3 are long time TDHers as well as owners of their own custom mandalorian board. With their love for the material and experience as moderators, we are confident they will serve the Dented Variants forum well. Much like Dustin Crops Boy moderates the Zam forum, RM and JK3 will currently be moderating the variants forum exclusively, although we plan to work with them in the future with the possibility of expanding that forum in a category of its own.
Second, I want to announce that within a week or so, we will be moving the Sarlacc Pit from its current position on the board to the top of the board. We are doing this because the Sarlacc Pit is the most viewed forum and we want to make it more readily accessible to our members.
Third, effective immediately, we have incorporated the following rules into the code of conduct. If there is any question about the new rules, please do not hesitate to ask.
A member who makes any type of threat against another member, the administration or TDH as a whole will be immediately and permanently banned. This includes physical threats, legal threats or verbal threats. This policy will be enforced whether the incident happens on TDH or not.
Misrepresentation with the intent to harm any member, the administration, or TDH as a whole will result in an immediate and permanent ban. This includes but is not limited to any effort by an individual to besmirch the reputation of another member, the administration or TDH as a whole.
Fourth, I want to address a number of questions that we have been asked lately.
Q: Can I come to the admins with a question or concern without the fear of being banned?
A: Absolutely! No one has ever been or ever will be banned for asking a question or voicing a concern. We always appreciate a concern be voiced via PM or email but even a publicly voiced concern (posted respectfully) will not result in a ban. We do not want our members to be afraid of bringing concerns to us. We are human and fallible. If we have made a mistake or you feel we could do something better or you just want a explanation on why we did a certain thing, we encourage you to contact us.
Q: Is Brak's Buddy "The Dent"?
A: No he is not. Brak's is the founder and technically the owner of The Dented Helmet, but he is not The Dent. The reason for not publicly naming the Dent is due in a large part to what has been seen recently where individuals who believed Brak's Buddy to be the Dent, tried to use his personal information to their advantage. Because of the sometimes unpleasant nature of the Dent's job, the identity will remain unpublished in an effort to shield the Dent from personal attacks of this nature.
Q: Why did you ban member "X."
A: In the past we have often banned members without stating why as we did not want to make public private issues. However, we now see that this often leads to confusion on the part of TDH's members and often results in false rumors. In the future, any ban will be accompanied by a post in the Announcements /requests forum, with a short synopsis of why the member was banned and the length of the ban.
Q: Why was thread "X" deleted/edited?
A: As with bannings, in the past we have often edited or removed threads without giving a reason why, which has also led to confusion on the part of the members. In the future, any thread editing or removable will be accompanied with a post regarding why the edit/removal occurred.
Finally, there has been some rumors spread by naysayers that indicate TDH is on its way down and out. According to our board statistics, the opposite is in fact true. TDH is more active than it has ever been. There has been steady growth since we first opened. We have more NEW members, more NEW posts and more NEW threads than we have ever had. Each and everyone of you is to thank for this very positive trend. TDH is a success because of YOU. We hope the changes we are making here will help continue our efforts as constant improvement and will make your board experience even better. If there are any questions that weren't answered here, please PM a moderator or post in this thread.

Two of the hosts of TVNZ's new 7pm show have hit back at critics for writing off the programme before it goes to air.
Ali Mau, who will present Seven Sharp with comedian Jesse Mulligan and former newsreader Greg Boyed, said the public had been "misled a little bit, not by us [but] by commentators, who ... really know nothing about the programme".
Speaking to Newstalk ZB, the former Fair Go presenter said the show would feature interviews, live commentators and hard-hitting stories.
''[People] have been misled into believing the programme won't have any harder stories, and that's not true at all.''
Mau also revealed the show would use new software allowing viewers to interact directly with the hosts.
"The three hosts will have screens that we'll be able to select real-time comments from and debate with the viewers and bring their viewpoint directly into the programme," she said.
"You can't leave the viewers behind and expect them to sit politely on the couch and swallow everything you say, you have to give them a chance to respond."
Meanwhile, Mulligan responded to the critics with some scathing satire on his popular food blog.
The comedian referred to Seven Sharp as the fictional new establishment Seven, which he was certain would be the worst restaurant in Auckland despite not having eaten there.
He skewered those who objected to Close Up being taken off air and pointed out that Holmes was blasted when it debuted.
"When Seven opens on the 4th of February I certainly won't be eating there. It's going to be the worst restaurant in Auckland, and I'm going to spend that night like I've spent the last eleven nights: sitting on my couch at home angrily drinking shiraz, staring at the wall and wondering why I care this much about someone else's restaurant."
Mulligan compared Seven Sharp's promise to provide smaller segments of news to a restaurant serving tapas.
"Yeah, I know tapas are big in Spain. F*** Spain."
The show, which replaces Close Up, starts on Monday.
Mau said she was very excited about it, but also quite nervous.
"[I'm] quite confident that it'll be a hit."

MENT, KLAC, LRCX, AMAT Winners in Chip Complexity, Says Pac Crest
Pacific Crest analysts Weston Twigg and Monika Garg both weighed in on the shifting landscape of semiconductor manufacturing, with recommendations in the tools market and the electronic design automation (EDA) market, respectively.
Garg, following EDA makers Cadence Design (CDNS), Synopsys (SNPS), and Mentor Graphics (MENT), suggests all three can benefit from rising complexity in semiconductor devices, with the EDA industry having consolidated in the last decade:
EDA vendors have outgrown the semiconductor industry over the past three years, and we believe EDA vendors can continue to outgrow the semiconductor industry due to rising chip design complexity. Advancement of Moore's Law creates opportunities for the EDA industry. Due to increased complexity, the amount of investment needed at a technological node has gone up significantly, which benefits the EDA vendors. EDA companies offer tremendous value to semiconductor businesses. Without these companies, the semiconductor industry cannot build a chip. In our view, EDA companies sacrificed some of that value in the 2000s, and total revenue grew about 1.7% a year during that period, while semiconductor customers doubled revenue. But consolidation in the EDA industry, the move towards ratable models, along with the increasing design and verification requirements due to scaling challenges of Moore's Law, are causing value to shift to the EDA vendors [...] Our semiconductor industry R&D expense model, which is based on R&D expense of 20 leading semiconductor companies, suggests that R&D expense could increase 5% in 2013 and 6% in 2014 y/y. Rising chip design complexity leads to more design, verification and validation steps, which benefits electronic design automation (EDA) vendors.
She reiterates an Outperform rating on Mentor shares, and raises her price target to $26 from $24, opining that its "emulation" business may perform better than expected:
Emulation sales grew at 25% compounded annually over the past three years and we believe emulation could grow by double digits for the next several years. Mentor's emulation bookings more than doubled in the last reported quarter and Mentor's first-half booking in emulation were greater than its emulation revenue for all last year, which should provide momentum in the second half of F2014 and next year. Rising chip design complexity means emulation platform is used not only by chip design companies but also by system companies, which is expanding the TAM for EDA vendors.
Garg thinks Cadence stock is "starting to look interesting" trading at a two-year low valuation multiple, especially if it can increase its own emulation business. Synopsys is "an EDA leader with a strong position in IP and FinFET design."
For his part, Twigg writes that as the complexity of photolithography is increasing for chip makers, it is becoming a greater and greater part of chip makers' budgets:
[Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM)] TSMC has noted that lithography now accounts for 50% of its incremental capex, and lithography steppers have increased to over 25% of wafer fab equipment demand today from the high teens in the early 2000s. It is by far the most expensive equipment segment for customers. Leadingedge immersion tools cost around $60 million and upcoming EUV lithography tools may cost as much as $135 million each. By comparison, etch or deposition tools range from around $4 million to around $15 million each.
In theory, he writes, ASML Holding NV (ASML) would be a beneficiary, with a substantial position in litho tools. However, he sees customers "fighting back" by trying to avoid that increasing lithographic spend in creative ways:
NAND companies are moving to 3-D structures instead of following conventional planar scaling, and few if any new lithography tools are needed relative to planar NAND. Once 3-D memory arrays are in production, bit density can theoretically be increased by adding more deposition layers, not more lithography [...] Foundries are extending the 20 nm node for up to four years by adding a FinFET gate, and few if any new litho tools are needed to accomplish this. While the FinFET node will be called 16 nm or 14 nm, the performance gains are achieved through new materials and gate design, not a conventional lithography shrink [...] Optimize chip designs for lower lithography demand: Intel is using gridded design layouts, allowing it to achieve conventional shrinks with a lower lithography burden than its competitors. As a result, Intel won't need multiple double patterning steps until the 14 nm node, while foundries need it earlier, at the 20 nm node. If others adopt this effective design approach, it would be a negative trend for lithography.
Given the risk that customers are going to postpone the move to the next major step in lithography, "extreme ultraviolet," or EUV, Twigg recommends steering clear of ASML in favor of Applied Materials (AMAT), KLA Tencor (KLAC), and Lam Research (LRCX):
Applied Materials is benefitting from the introduction of new materials, new deposition steps and, to a lesser extent, new etch steps. Foundries are gaining performance at 16/14 nm FinFET by adding new materials, deposition and etch without adding lithography steps to support a shrink, which is a perfect example of why Applied should Outperform. Lam benefits from the same trends, but less from new materials (no epi or PVD) and more from etch (where it has high market share). KLA-Tencor benefits from higher process complexity overall, as critical layers and killer defects increase.

Join us for a inspiring & energizing evening with a screening of HEIST, the explosive new documentary about the roots of the American economic crisis, which are traced back to a 1971 secret memo entitled Attack on American Free Enterprise System written by future Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell.
HEIST's step by step detail exposes the systemic implementation of Powell's memo by both U.S. political parties over the last forty years culminating in the deregulation of industry, outsourcing of jobs and regressive taxation, which led us to the global financial crisis of 2008 and the continued dismantling of the American middle class.
Moving beyond the white noise of today's polarizing media, HEIST provides viewers with a clear, concise and fact-based explanation of how we got into this mess, and what we need to do to restore our representative democracy.

Much more than maps, GIS is a window to the world
GIS specialists use data to create intelligent maps that address complex questions, such as how many houses will be impacted by a flood zone, whether proximity to a highway relates to residential crime, or how commercial development may affect endangered species. Private-sector companies and public organizations use GIS to harness their resources more efficiently when planning and making decisions. ACC has one of the most well respected GIS programs in the region, no doubt because a 14-member panel of local GIS experts helps create our curriculum.
What skills can I gain?
GIS students build expertise in computer-based data collection, input, storage, analysis, and cartographic technology.
Associate of Arts Degree: This is the first two years of transferable courses toward a four-year bachelor's degree in geography with a GIS concentration. This program includes two dedicated GIS classes and is exclusively for students interested in transferring to a four-year college or university.
Associate of Applied Science Degree: The broad, hands-on GIS instruction in this program is augmented with computer database training and core college academics. Students who wish to enter the workforce sooner rather than later but want to earn a college degree prefer this program.
Level I Certificate: This certificate is designed to be the first building block in the program. It includes entry-level know-how to begin working in GIS. All Level I courses transfer toward the Level II certificate.
Level II Certificate: Focused GIS education including the latest geospatial programming and web-based applications are detailed in this certificate. Individuals who use GIS in their current jobs often select this program to update their skills with the latest industry software. All Level II certificate courses transfer toward the AAS degree.
How long will it take to earn a degree or certificate?
It typically takes full-time students at least two years to complete an associate degree. The Level I certificate requires at least two semesters of study and the Level II certificate requires at least three.
Where can I work with this education?
GIS specialists work in a variety of settings including natural resource management, marketing, tax appraisal districts, law enforcement, land use and planning, geology, education, epidemiology, health care, government, archeology, and petroleum exploration. GIS graduates from ACC work in many areas of local and state government, for the U.S. Geological Survey, and for private environmental and engineering firms.
How do I get started at ACC and where can I find out about financial aid?
*All prospective GIS students are encouraged to schedule a formal advising session with the department before registering for class. Sean Moran at email@example.com or call (512) 223.4944.
Visit ACC's future student's page for admissions information. The financial aid page has links for eligibility and applications.

2004 Election Coverage
GTAGaming.com - General News | @ 08:07 PM MDT | By Kodo
Well the polls are closing nationwide so there's not much we can do now but wait anxiously for the votes to be counted. If you're looking for good election coverage I found great stats on the front page of CNN.com and there's also the full map results. You can even select a state to see how the voting is going in each county. The stats also auto-update so you don't need to refresh. It's been said that we won't know the results until tomorrow instead of the usual midnight but let's wait and see. A candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes to win the presidential election. At the time of this post Bush currently has more electoral votes but like I said just watch the CNN site for live updates. Or of course watch tv coverage for as late as you want to. I'm aware that a majority of this site's fanbase cannot vote but the least you can do is stay up to date with political news, because this election matters perhaps more than ever.

As a psychiatrist who specializes in working with teens, I hear "it" discussed often - quietly, tentatively at first, until the teen decides that I am "OK." Usually the words are whispered until the teen feels more trusting . . . Does this doctor really want to hear what I have to say about this or is she going to give me a lecture? Can I ask her my questions or will she think I'm stupid? I bet she never had this problem. In fact, I bet no one has every had this problem, but maybe I could tell her it was some other kid, not me . . . never me.
All teens have stories to tell, stories that need to be listened to, stories from which we can learn a great deal. Listening closely, I have realized that teens want to talk about sex, but with adults they trust. They want to be listened to, and they want nonjudgmental conversations. Conversations about sex are unusual among adults, so it is not surprising that they are even more rare between adults and teens. Often, adults have to start these conversations; at the very least, they have to be ready to pick up the teen's clues and listen.
It has been my experience that camp counselors and staff are willing to listen to teens and that conversations about sex are taking place. Many teens have told me that camp offers them a place to try out new things, and this includes the sexual arena. They take risks - both healthy and unhealthy - and test parts of their personality that they have kept hidden. Experimentation with sexuality is a vital part of camp for many kids.
What do camp staff members need to know about this important area? Will they recognized the teens clues? Will they be ready to listen when the topic is raised? Will they ask for help if they need it? Will they recognize that they have done a good job?
The following stories illustrate some of the challenging ways that sex can come up at camp.
Case Study: Rachel and Monica
Eighteen-year-old Rachel, a camp counselor at a California wilderness camp, came to see me after she had just finished struggling with a thirteen-year-old camper, Monica. Miles into the California wilderness, on the first night of a week-long trek, Monica, stimulated by the physical and emotional warmth of the campfire, told her fellow campers and counselors that she was being sexually abused by her stepfather. Rachel and her fellow counselor met and talked nervously after the girls climbed into their sleeping bags. What could they do about this? How should they handle it? Radio back to camp, yes, but pack her out? The trip was just starting. This was the first time Monica had every spoken about this to anyone. She seemed OK, but then how would they know? What was really going on inside her head? She was probably fine.
Monica was fine, for the night. By the next day, she seemed anxious, hands shaking, and at that evening's campfire, she appeared frozen, sitting and staring. The other girls on the trip were worried about her and privately told the counselors their fears. Rachel and her co-counselor were worried, too.
The next day, although the temperature was over ninety degrees, Monica was shivering and could not say a word. Rachel found herself spending all of her time with Monica, rubbing her back and trying to comfort her with soothing words. Late in the afternoon, Rachel and her fellow counselor made the decision. They would have to get Monica out and work with the other girls, who had also been affected by this. They called the base camp for help and got it.
Rachel decided to leave with Monica, staying with her until she was hooked up with a trained social worker from Child Protective Services. Then Rachel, although exhausted, went back to the wilderness site and rejoined her group.
Two weeks later she came to see me, believing she hadn't done enough for Monica. She had lots of questions. She and her fellow counselor should have seen what was happening that first night and stopped it, shouldn't they? Rachel believed that they had made it worse for Monica by keeping her with the group. Maybe the campfire conversations had been too stimulating, just what had the group been talking about, anyway? Should they have stopped Monica at the beginning of her story? Rachel had experienced a funny feeling in her stomach when Monica had begun to speak. She had known what was coming.
I asked Rachel what the directors of the camp said about how she had handled the crisis. Reluctantly, she admitted that they had told her she had done a good job; they were proud of her. In fact, one of the senior staffers had told Rachel that she couldn't have done everything that Rachel did for Monica and the other campers. But, Rachel didn't believe what they said. Monica needed even more help than she had given
her . . . it wasn't enough.
I agreed. Monica needed more help than anyone could give her at this tough point in her life. Rachel had done as much as she could. When I questioned her, she remembered that one of the directors had asked whether Rachel should rejoin the group and commented that it was a lot to take on after just dealing with Monica.
Helping campers cope in a changing world
Rachel's and Monica's story is dramatic, but it highlights much that camps are facing in the area of adolescent and child sexuality. First, many teens tell me that they feel their camps are safe settings. Feeling safe, at least during the moment, Monica chose to disclose something about her stepfather, something frightening and deeply painful. Monica was like many teens. Sexual abuse is only one of the many secrets teens hold; fears that they have a sexually transmitted disease or are pregnant or bisexual or gay or even asexual are also common. Their myths and misconceptions about sexuality are often shyly volunteered, usually with a disguise: "I have a friend . . . ."
It is also important to understand that the pace of teen sexuality is stepped up in today's world, running faster than it did thirty or even ten years ago. Teens are developing physically two years faster than they did twenty years ago, due to improved nutrition and less frequent disease, but their minds are not any more advanced. This results in children's minds inhabiting fully developed sexual bodies. There are many consequences to this. It clearly impacts the early age, now sixteen on average, when teens have their first experience with sexual intercourse. It might also be affecting higher rates of sexual abuse.
Our culture's view of adolescent sexuality has also changed. Though still largely restrictive, it is primarily confused, alternating its message between restrictive and permissive (promoted by the media) and violent as well. Violence, or at the very least, coercion, is a component of sexual abuse. One third of all girls and 15 percent of all boys will be abused during their teen years or even younger.
Although Monica's story reminds us of the frightening aspects of teen sexuality, we also see Rachel, another teen, identify and care for her. It is more than Rachel can handle, but it shows the potential strength and courage of young people struggling with an impossible problem.
Case Study: Experimentation
The same summer I was contacted by Rachel, I was called by a camp owner who was grappling with an even more common situation. One hot, summer evening, three fifteen-year-old boys and two girls had sneaked out of their cabins and met at the camp's swimming pool. Not surprisingly, they had gone swimming, but that was only part of the story. One of the girls and two of the boys had had oral sex. They had sneaked back to their cabins undetected, but the next morning one of the girls, the one who didn't have sex, told.
Things at the camp went smoothly at first. The camp had a protocol, which was followed. When he phoned me, the camp director sounded frustrated though. The father of the girl who reportedly had had oral sex with the boys was threatening to sue. He had also obtained the e-mail addresses of all the camp parents and had sent them an unflattering account concerning the camp's handling of the matter. The camp director and I had several discussions, following his steps as he met with and calmed the parents, consulted an attorney, and struggled with what he could do with his campers. Eventually, he decided to have campsite discussions in small groups led by individual counselors and the camp nurse. In preparation for this, he scheduled training for his counselors and all the staff, including himself. He learned many important things, among them that many of the teens attending his camp had participated in little or no sexual education. Complicating this even further, they saw camp as a place to experiment.
Addressing myths and misconceptions
One of the most important changes in the sexual landscape during the past twenty years has been the advent of HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus. The lethal risks associated with HIV have been frightening for adults and teens alike. One quarter of those infected with HIV acquire it as teenagers; one-half of those who contract the virus acquire it during adolescence and young adulthood (up to age twenty-four). The crisis has encouraged the United States to begin examining its attitudes about sexuality.
In a recent interview I did with Dr. Joycelyn Elders, the former U.S. Surgeon General, she said that she believes that HIV has done more to change attitudes toward sexuality and sex education than anything else in the past decade. It has forced the United States to look at an area of taboo. Conversations about teen sexuality have started. However, Dr. Elders also said, "We need to know what our teens are doing in the backseats of cars, and we don't." She's right about that, and of course it's not just what is going on in cars. Teens are sexually active everywhere - most commonly in their homes. Before we find out where teens are doing what sexually, we need to be able to both listen and talk with them about sexuality.
Kids have misconceptions about HIV. The camp director at the camp mentioned earlier discovered that many of the kids believed that they could not get HIV from oral sex, which they thought of as good protection. The campsite discussions addressed this myth. The director also discovered that the strong and narrow gender roles that existed in the 1950s - macho boys and passive, objectified girls - are alive and flourishing in 2000. Earlier puberty, women's position in the culture following the feminist struggle, media images, and lack of sexual guidance all contribute to these limited roles for both boys and girls. This, too, was a topic for campsite discussion.
The director feared that parents would protest his efforts. They did not. They were more in the dark than he was, and he informed and educated them about the process. He also feared that it would stir up sexual risk-taking among the campers. Here again, his fears were unfounded. He recognized that teenagers have sexual lives, whether they're talking about them or not. An important part of adolescence is thinking about and experimenting with sexuality. He also saw that adults need to educate themselves about this process so that they are ready to guide and to listen.
The sexual landscape has changed for teens in the past twenty years: there is earlier puberty, earlier age of onset for sexual activity, and increased rates of sexually transmitted diseases and HIV. Narrow gender roles continue to constrict development, and perhaps most important, the American culture transmits a schizophrenic message regarding sexuality to its youth, highlighted by explicit use of teen bodies in the media and extreme prohibition. Conversations with trusted adults, at camp and in other parts of their lives, help teens to navigate their own paths and make their wisest choices.
Lynn E. Ponton, M.D., is a psychiatrist who specializes in working with teens. She is the author ofThe Romance of Risk, Why Teenagers Do the Things They Do, and the soon-to-be-released bookThe Sex Lives of Teenagers. Dr. Ponton lives and works in northern California.

I am not a big music fan. I appreciate good sound, but I have never really chased the latest greatest sound system out there and my iPod has been collecting some serious dust for quite some time. Therefore, it had to be other reasons that dragged me into getting myself the Bose QuietComfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones. To be accurate, I purchased the Limited Edition, which only differs by its blue color from the original silver one.
I heard about the noise cancelling technology before and the principle behind it is rather simple, applying an opposite signal to the one of the surrounding noise to simply cancel it out, so to speak. For more details there is a pretty good self explanatory video on the Bose website.
I was definitely curious about the benefits of this technology, having struggled myself with easily distracting surroundings. I had to give it a try and stopped by the Bose shop. I must say first that these headphones don't come cheap, at a retail price of $299 and even slightly more in Europe. Therefore as a rather "ungifted" musician, I had never really planned to invest in expensive music gears. But this was before the tryout… Continue Reading "Review: Bose QuietComfort 15 Headphones" »

Do you not want to see win it all?

Do you not want to see win it all?
I see 4 teams the Giants dont have a rivalry with. That is the Broncos, Seahawks, Texans and Falcons (kind of)
HATE the Harbaughs, (arrogant a-holes), so no "Nein"ers or Ravin's. No fan of Cindy Brady, so no on the Pats. No on the Discount Double Checks. Fauxcans and Texans eh dont care for them so much either. I'd be ok with Seatle as long as they don't beat the Broncos to do it. Pulling for Eli's big bro to pick up ring #2. Just a fan of the Manning clan and Eli and Payton, especially.
How could everyone NOT vote for the Ravens, Pats, Falcons and 49ers?
Those are the teams I voted.
I'd like to see the Broncos, Seahawks or Packers win.
Don't want the Pats or 49ers to win it all, though would be okay for the ravens to give Ray Lewis his last hurrah (especially if he beats up Brady along the way)
Also don't want Broncos to win because Ring Count is the only argument that Eli has anymore to not just be the "******* child"...
screw the 49ers....surprised that many people want them to win
If we can't win it I want fresh meat to taste victory. That means Atlanta, Seattle, or Texans.
I don't want the 49ers to reach 6 and I hate that team's arrogance.
Rodgers and Matthews really annoy me lately so no Packers.
Broncos I like Peyton but I hate the franchise.
Pats, no.
Raisins, no. I will never get past XXXV.
The Texans annoy me (maybe by osmosis from Dallas) and I think they think they're hot stuff.
Same for Atlanta.
So that leaves Seattle. They have a good defense and are SB virgins.
Rooting for Manning vs. Rogers.
San Fran.. that is all

You might think so keeper. We shall see.
I would think it a bit more than a cleaning activity sqkcrk or wouldn't seem like any kind of cleaning activity I can think of, you?
It was a very nice, warm sunny day outside and sunlight is the best for vision. I had shaken most of the bees from the frame but a handful at best of nurse bees remained. No bother and nothing unusual. Can you think of a better place to be than out among the bees doing your thing? Pretty peaceful place to spend the day I think.

It was a great pleasure to stay at the apartment of Christophe and Alexis. From the first moment we felt welcome.
Such helpful and cordially hosts I never met before.
This lovely apartment lacks nothing.
The facilities, the cleanliness, everything was perfect!
I know I'm going to visit Montreal again and I sincerely hope that I may stay at you again!
Thank you for all, Christophe & Alexis!
A charming spot in the heart of the Plateau. Our hosts were most helpful and even left us a litre of OJ and one of milk. The kitchen was well supplied for us to cook and the apartment was very tastefully decorated.
Many thanks to Christophe and Alexi
We had a pleasant stay in Montreal, thank you to Christopher for his warm and very friendly welcome. Very well located studio close trade and restaurant ... highly recommended
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour à Montréal, merci à Christophe pour son accueil chaleureux et très sympathique.
Studio très bien situé, proche commerce et restaurant ... vivement recommandé
We spend 11 days on Christophe's apartment in Charming Plateau in Montreal. It is centrally located to restaurants, shops and Mont Royal for the morning jogg - we had a great time there. The apartment is nice and clean, probably originally a shop, no walls inside. Therefore we think it suits best for 2 persons, but it went on well with us 3. Christophe is a friendly and very goos host with whom we had excellent communication snd the service was great. We are well satisfied.
Christophe was great, when I arrived his flat was exactly as in windu's picture, was clean and he gave me lots of advices of his city, the best places for sure.
I recommend his place 200%! It's like to be at home.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Top location. Nice place and very friendly host.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Christophes apartment has a nice atmosphere. It is not a cold modern spot, as you can see on the photos. It is more an original for individual travelling people. Maybe a little bit tight, but I liked it and would recommend it in terms of price and quality relation. The possibility to sit on the backyard terrace is a plus too. But that spot is also open for another apartment next door. It is a nice street, by the way, not too loud. Christophe is a very friendly host and is always good for some good advices.
Be sure to ask if you will be really getting Plateau #3 because the apartment I got was not like the pictures. Maybe I got Plateau # 2 or #1. yes - the small front terrace is the same but the actual apartment I got was not the same. The kitchen sink + counter was old and low - hard on the back! Yes - great, central location for getting to métro or rue St Denis. Clean, safe place. Bed pretty comfortable. No TV but said there would be one. Pretty quiet but there were kids above running around one evening. L'Gros Luxe restaurant nearby - yes - great prices and great food - convenient.
- Quality assured accommodation

REVIEW: Hangover III
This epic crew returns in a soft way as Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) find themselves on another adventure. This time though, it is 100% sober and sans a face tattoo. Doug once again joins the group to help in an all-out awkward situation, get Alan to a "friendly" mental institution.
Their trip is sidelined though as a new villain enters the scene. Marshall (John Goodman), is a very angry drug kingpin with a mission for the pack. Find Lesilie Chow (Ken Jeong) or lose one of their own.
Determined to save their captive friend Doug, the crew travels from Arizona to Mexico and finally arrives in their own personal hell, Las Vegas. Tricked, beaten and torn apart by chickens they rush against the clock as they chase the insane international criminal Chow.
A fun ending without the actual "Hangover" plot point, this movie once again spotlights horrible situations and awkward moments. And while not my favorite of the trilogy, it has some memorable moments for fans.
Grade: B-
MPAA Rating: R
Running time: 1hr 40min.

Written by a former Mainer, The Global Class War barely mentions Maine, but it explains what is happening economically in our state — as well as in the world. Jeff Faux tells the harsh truth about globalization, and he presents an alternative to the miseries it creates.
Why have Maine's manufacturing industries — like textile and paper mills — virtually collapsed? Why are the service industries we thought would take their place — like call centers — now threatened? Why do the politicians — like John Baldacci — respond to this scene by kissing the asses of multinational-corporation executives who are the problem, not the solution? When Georgia-Pacific held a press conference in March to announce it was closing the Old Town paper mill, our governor practically patted the G-P executioner on the back as he administered the lethal injection.
Maine is suffering because of "the China price." As Faux relates, Mr. Coffee factory workers used to get $21 an hour in the United States. But Mr. Coffee's parent corporation Sunbeam moved production to Mexico, where the workers got $2.36. Production then was moved to China, where the workers get 47 cents an hour. Faux notes that "60 percent of China's exports are shipped by foreign firms." Many are American-based multinationals. The China price also is the India price, as we know from the accents of the telemarketers who call us at dinnertime on behalf of American companies.
If unrestrained, the China price — the globalization of goods and services as corporations roam the world hunting for greater profits — must lower our standard of living, "if we are to compete globally." Have you heard that line as your good-paying job was eliminated, your pension was cut, or your health-care plan became too expensive? And, "if we are to compete globally," forget about saving those nice animals of the Arctic National Wildlife Preserve from the destructions of oil drilling.
We're not even being sacrificing to benefit the poor masses of China and India. In those countries, globalization's increases in income are extremely inequitably distributed, and environments are being wrecked. Let's not mention near-slave labor in many developing-world factories.
But some people in the US and worldwide, including China and India, are doing very well from globalization: the rich who own, manage, or serve the international corporations. They also own and manage much of the news media and the political system, so you don't hear a lot about alternatives to globalization. Sucking up to the corporate rich — like both Democrat Baldacci and our Republicans do — it seems the only way.
There is another way. First, we have to recognize that it's the global rich against the rest of us, writes economist Faux, founder of Washington's Economic Policy Institute and, for nearly 15 years as he studied and wrote, a resident of a modest Cape Cod house in Whitefield, Maine.
His taboo-breaking title has attracted attention. The Global Class War came out only a few months ago and is already in its fourth printing. In a jargon-free, fact-filled style, Faux describes how the corporate class sets the political agenda in this country, Canada, and Mexico (he concentrates on North America) as well as in the world. He details how the neoconservative movement (outside the US, it's called neoliberal) sold laissez-faire ideology and practice to Clinton Democrats and Bush Republicans — "American's bipartisan governing class."

This weekend has been so beautiful and warm, I have spent most of my time outside doing yard work while i am in the mood and CAN! Suppose to rain again Monday... :( I should be done with my project and ready to mail say by wed.
I am still working on mine, I have had some setbacks with being sick, my kids, and my house flooding. I hope to be done and ready to mail by Wednesday. I'm sorry if I am holding anyone up, but life happens and it has been happening a lot.
Things happen & there's things that can't be avoided. As long as your family is safe, that's all that matters.
The first group is ready to ship and has been notified by email. So.....go check your box! :)
Well I took my Beau Beau to the doctor this morning and besides his crazy allergies, he has strep throat. This weekend he has been coughing a lot more and started chocking on his food, I looked at his throat and his tonsils were so swollen and red they looked like they were touching. So ten days of antibiotics, and he doesn't act like he is sick. I did find some sore throat suckers that he can have to help with the pain. Hopefully he will mend quickly.
No productive sewing for me this past weekend - people in and out all day Saturday and yesterday my wonderful kids wanted to celebrate my birthday early as my son works on Tuesday and he won't be able to make it for dinner; great fun day bbq'ing hamburgers and bratwurst - with some camper beans and salads; blueberry cream-cheese dessert; baby girl brought appetizers - left over crawfish boil from Friday nights mardi gras party - YUMMO; local tavern hosted a cajun style mardi gras party Friday night - they had live crawfish flown in from Louisiana - made jubolia - it was a lot of fun - guess my weekend was full of celebrations and no sewing. This morning we are back at the grindstone shoveling snow - 8 inches of heavy slush snow; my arms still feel like rubber from all that lifting.
I got my notice today from DM - ten days and counting.
dabbler you know that all that armwork is great on the bo.. i mean bust upward movement! no snow here, hence the bean bag chest.. half filled and enjoying gravity. send your snow quick!
I mailed my package priority this afternoon so I think we will see a picture soon. I stupidly did not photograph it for me however. duh. So please secret partner post a picture if you could be so kind? I was mostly pleased with what I sent. Now to see if the colors work, crossing fingers....
oh Brat - I have such broad shoulders now I don't need anymore bulk - what needed bulking years ago has headed south or is in hiding somewhere under the armpit. More snow called for again this weekend.
Finished with table runner/topper swap project now to get going and finish this one - I've done several like this before so there shouldn't be any snags - actually DM has been cracking the whip making sure we stay on task; who's been giving her all the pointers - she's doing a great job moving us all forward.

Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band go Voyage-Air!
|Voyage-Air Guitar created quite a stir at a recent Jimmy Buffet show at Shoreline Amphitheater near San Francisco. Already a well traveled Voyage-Air Guitar player, Jim Mayer (the Buffet bassist), turned his band-mates on to a demonstration of the new TelAir electric guitar.
Jim Mayer's brother, Peter, (lead guitar player for the Coral Reefer band) has now been added to our roster of endorsers. The legendary Sonny Landreth was even impressed with the Voyage-Air, sticking around to test it out and take pictures with Voyage-Air V.P. Michael Ferrucci and Artist Relations Director, Virginia Cannon.
Since Sonny Landreth has played with guitar icons like Eric Clapton, Mark Knofpler and Eric Johnson, a guitar has to be exceptional to catch his attention... and the Voyage-Air guitar did just that!
Jim Mayer took his Voyage-Air Guitar on a recent trip to Paris with Jimmy Buffet and the Coral Reefer Band, which sparked the interest of the entire band. The result? Jimmy Buffet is now a proud owner of a Voyage-Air Guitar!

Brandon Spikes' ill-advised humor attempt backfires on Twitter
FOXBOROUGH — No stranger to controversy, Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes is at the epicenter of a social media whirlwind over a homophobic joke he posted on Twitter.
Spikes, a third-year linebacker out of the University of Florida, posted a comment on his Twitter feed Wednesday afternoon which read: "I'm homophobic just like I'm arachnopobic. I have nothing against homosexuals or spiders but I'd still scream if I found one in my bathtub!''
Although he meant it as a joke, Spikes backtracked when he was rebuked by several followers for his ill-advised attempt at humor. Three hours after posting his original comment, Spikes tried to clarify his intent by tweeting, "PEOPLE!!!! It's a joke …seriously a JOKE!!! Chill out.''
Spikes seemed to be paraphrasing a monologue by British comedian Jack Whitehall, who said 18 months ago, "I'm not homophobic. Well, I suppose I'm homophobic in the same sense I'm arachnopobic. I'm not scared of spiders. I'm not scared of gays, but I would scream if I saw one in my bath.''
According to Patriots spokesman Stacey James, "The team has no comment.''
Although Spikes was not available for comment in the Patriots' locker room during media availability Thursday, his teammates were left to deal with the distraction.
"You know what? I haven't seen anything, so I can't really comment on it,'' said wide receiver Wes Welker, who generated headlines himself this week for his ill-advised attempt at humor. After making 13 catches for 104 yards in Sunday's 31-21 victory over the Broncos, Welker was asked during a TV interview about his performance and replied, offhandedly, "Sometimes it's nice to stick it in Bill's face,'' in reference to coach Bill Belichick.
Welker, like many of his teammates, deflected repeated attempts for comment about Spikes's tweet.
"I'm just concentrating on Seattle, so I really don't have any comment at all about it,'' Welker said.
When asked if he was a big tweeter, Welker replied, "Yeah, [but] I haven't really tweeted in the past month or so, so I haven't really looked at it at all. I've just been concentrating on the season.''
Jerod Mayo and Vince Wilfork kept their attention on Sunday's game at Seattle.
"That's where all my focus is, on the Seattle Seahawks, so I have nothing to add to it,'' Mayo said.
Said Wilfork, "If it don't have nothing to do with Seattle, I don't care about it — plain and simple. That's my first time hearing about this. I'm too focused on playing football right now.''
Asked if he was embarrassed by Spikes's remarks, Wilfork, a defensive captain, replied, "If it has nothing to do with Seattle, then I don't even know about it. I watch SpongeBob SquarePants, you can ask anybody. So I don't have time to look at everything else being said [on Twitter], because that's my life at home.''
Spikes was embroiled in controversy during his rookie season for being in a pornographic video that was circulated on the Internet. Later that year, Spikes was suspended four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
Spikes said in a statement the substance was neither "a performance enhancer or an illegal drug'' but rather part of "a medication I should have gotten clarification before taking.''
In college, Spikes was disciplined for attempting to gouge the eye of Georgia running back Washaun Ealey in top-ranked Florida's 41-17 victory over the Bulldogs Oct. 31, 2009. Spikes was suspended for the first half of the Gators' next game, but he effectively suspended himself for the entire game, saying he didn't want to be a distraction to his team.

As part of the fourth annual Live Free Weekend, the University of Colorado Boulder community is being encouraged to take a pledge to forego all alcohol use for 96 hours from Oct. 4-8.
Presented by the CU-Boulder student group Oasis and Counseling and Psychological Services, the pledge also includes no recreational drugs for all participants. Numerous free activities including a film screening, ultimate Frisbee tournament, intramural sports, rock climbing and yoga sessions will be offered throughout the weekend to highlight substance-abuse-free lifestyles.
"One of our goals is is to give people who binge drink and use drugs a chance to take a step back and look at what they are doing," said Matthew Tomatz, substance abuse coordinator at CU-Boulder Counseling and Psychological Services.
The CU Intercollegiate Athletics department will help kick off the event with the Live-Free Kickoff Lunch on Thursday, Oct. 4, beginning at noon on the south side of the Balch Field House. The free lunch, available to those who take the pledge, also gives participants a chance to meet others who are taking the challenge.
"We are excited and proud to be able to get involved with Live Free Weekend," said Chris Schaefbauer, CUSG director of health and safety. "It's important to have events like this on campus, where we question the things we do and the choices we make. Live Free Weekend gives the student body a great way to engage in dialogue within our community about alcohol and other substance abuse, because the truth is, it's a problem among our students and college students in general."
Live Free Weekend is sponsored by CU-Boulder Housing and Dining Services, CU Parents Association, CU Intercollegiate Athletics department, CU Volunteer Resource Center, Residence Hall Association, Community Health, GLBTQ Resource Center and Veteran Services.
To sign the pledge and see a complete list of events visit www.colorado.edu/livefreeweekend.
