Apple Confirms iPhone Event for September 10

We're expecting to see the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C
Apple's iPhone event has been officially
confirmed for September 10
in its hometown of Cupertino.
According to the invitations sent to the press, the September 10 event will primarily focus on new iPhone offerings and will take place at 10 a.m. PST at the Apple Campus in Cupertino, California.
The event is expected to unveil the successor to the iPhone 5, which could possibly be named the iPhone 5S. The 5S should have a faster processor, an improved camera and even a gold color option.
For the first time ever, Apple is expected to present two iPhones at one event. The second is
the iPhone 5C
(stands for iPhone 5 color), which is considered the budget iPhone. It will have the same internals as the iPhone 5, but will feature a plastic backing that could come in multiple colors as well as a price tag of $99.
The event invitation's cover says "This should brighten everyone's day" with a bunch of colorful dots. This likely refers to the fact that the iPhone 5C will be colorful, and that the iPhone 5S got a new color option as well.
Color is also a key change behind the Apple's upcoming version of its mobile operating system, iOS 7. Apple showed the new OS off back at its Worldwide Developer's Conference (WWDC) in June, where we caught an early glimpse of iOS 7's dramatic redesign in regards to the look of the icons and menu. The color scheme is much brighter and gone is the skeumorphic design of icons attempting to mimic real-world objects. Many have described it as "flatter" but with a new sense of depth thanks to layers and the frosted glass effect.
The new OS also has some improvements like Control Center (allows you to swipe up from the bottom of the screen to quickly access Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Screen brightness etc.), AirDrop (allows you to quickly share files with friends that are nearby), FaceTime audio (high quality voice-only calls over Wi-Fi), Notifications Sync (if you dismiss a notification on your iPhone, it is also dismissed on your iPad), and "iOS in the Car." Siri also got a boost with new, high-quality female and male voices.
"Well, we didn't have anyone in line that got shot waiting for our system." -- Nintendo of America Vice President Perrin Kaplan

Akamai Drops 11%: Macquarie Cuts to Hold, Cowen, FBN Defend
Shares of Akamai (AKAM) are down $5.49, or almost 11%, at $46.38, after the company yesterday afternoon beat Q3 expectations but forecast this quarter's revenue below consensus.
The company had said in the report that it was in negotiations with its "largest media customer," which may be Netflix (NFLX) or maybe Apple (AAPL) — both are customers, and the company didn't specify, and analysts today can't seem to agree which it is.
Today, the risk of what may come from those price negotiations with Netflix are dominating analysts' thoughts.
The shares have received at least one downgrade today, from Macquarie's Kevin Smithen, who cut his rating on the shares to Neutral from Outperform, and trims his price target to $51 from $53, writing that "With visibility in the media segment impaired by a price renegotiation with Netflix, its top customer, we do not see a catalyst for the shares over the next few qtrs."
Smithen wants to see more progress on the company's "software-as-a-service" cloud compute offering, versus the traditional "content delivery network" offering:
While we continue to like CEO Tom Leighton and team and the long-term themes behind AKAM: Mobile, video, cloud and security, we think the rally in AKAM shares from $35 to ~$48.50 in the aftermarket has been driven primarily by the company's volume-based CDN business rather than improved execution in its newer SaaS businesses, which we believe is the key to sustained multiple expansion. Hybrid cloud optimization won't have an impact until 2015, so we need to see AQUA Ion and Kona growth in the mid to high teens in 2014 for the stock to move to $60, in our opinion. We are now forecasting 12.2% growth in 2014 for the P&S segment. Where could we be wrong? Mgmt. has done an excellent job improving gross margins while investing in sales and sales support. FCF is robust at $325mm est. for '14 and the company should end 2014 with $1.36bn in net cash even after an estimated $40mm/qtr in heightened share repurchases. Partnerships with AT&T and Orange could begin to contribute more meaningfully in 2014.
Others were already taking down their estimates for Akamai, while some bulls defended what may turn out to be an isolated event. Shebly Seyrafi of FBN Securities, reiterating an Outperform rating, and a $55 price target, writes that this upset may not be as big a deal as prior periods when there were multiple pricing resets with multiple customers at the same time:
Although the company had a nice revenue/EPS beat, uncertainty regarding its negotiation with a large media customer (we think AAPL) will weigh on the shares near-term. If the negotiation with the customer occurs in FQ4, then revenue could come in at the low-end of its FQ4 guidance, whereas if it occurs in FQ1 (likely), then AKAM could hit the high-end of its FQ4 revenue guidance followed by feeling the impact of the renegotiation in FQ1. Please note that AKAM has no 10% customers, but the customer in negotiations with AKAM has not renewed in five years, and the pricing is dated. Therefore, there could be a material change in pricing from this less than 10% customer. Still, we would note that this is one customer, and this is in contrast to FQ1 2011 when eight of AKAM's top 10 media customers were renewing contracts. Note as well that Performance & Security (now 44% rev.) continues to grow very well (up 19% Y/Y in FQ3). AKAM now has over 700 customers using its security products; this is up from 400 at the end of 2012. We think that investors should take advantage of the sharp pullback today to acquire one of the better performing cloud names for a ~10% stock price discount. Note that we are not reducing our revenue/EPS estimates by anything close to 10%.
Seyrafi thinks Netflix is not the culprit because Netflix signed with Akamai less than five years ago.
Seyrafi cut his estimate for next year to $1.79 billion in revenue and $2.05 in adjusted earnings per share from a prior $1.83 billion and $2.28 per share.
And Cowen & Co.'s Colby Synesael reiterates an Outperform rating and cut his price target to $54 from $57, while writing that "We believe the annualized downside [of pricing renegotiation] represents less than 2% of total revenue and in our view only minimally takes away from what we still believe is a very compelling/differentiated story including strong demand for current solutions, an expanding product set to cross-sell, and a ramping sales force."
Synesael cut his estimates for next year to $1.78 billion in revenue, $740 million in Ebidta, and $2.07 in adjusted EPS from a prior $1.8 billion, $772 million, and $2.19.

I know no one else seems to agree with the pick but I've still got my eye on Orson Charles as well. I've watched his entire career and he always sticks out. I know he doesn't have the ideal size but his athleticism and quickness is off the charts.
I also think McCants is going to be a riser. Hasn't faced the best competition but he's loaded with upside.

Hail the new stars in figure skating, why bother bashing the old out dated Plushy. Sure he is afraid to face these shining stars in this WORLDS, so what. He will face them eventually in Olympics right? To be honest, at this point in his career, he does not need to gain any reputation by attending all competitions. He earns the status to pick the competition which suits him. End of story.
Face it, you want him to attend so that you can: if he won you can say that he is overscored and he wins only by reputation; if he lost you can say he is past-tense skater, he is nowhere close to those shining stars in the field now. Oh, maybe you can show a bit pity saying that he was a great champion but he really should retired, blablabla.
As for what Mishin said, yes he is so wise to say the obvious, so? So in your opinion only fans can complain the scores on this forum which by the way can affect so effectively on ISU's policy, other experts who work their entirely life for figure skating cannot say any obvious facts? (Not saying that Mishin's opinion will affect any thing for the judging system)

Wow, someone seems to be really dedicated to Plushenko and cannot wait for every single opportunity to jump on him. Such a curious choice of title, "Plushenko's coach" instead of Mr. Mishin, one of the most renowned coaches in figure skating.
Tsk tsk, as a fan, I kind of feel flattered of such dedication. Imagine how much time they have to spend each day on Plushenko and everyone around him. Shouldn't they spend more time on skaters that they love and enjoy? Human psychology is surely complicated,

Not everything in skating is predictable, and while I fully expect Plushenko to win Nationals, I can see some of the other guys skating well enough to make things interesting. And again - they're not Yags and Abt, but once you get past some of the top Russian skaters of the past, the level wasn't always that high anyway: Lutai, Borodulin, etc. Other than Plush, the last Russian to medal at Euros before Gachinski did was Ilia Klimkin in 2004, and the only Russians to medal at Worlds all went on to win OGMs.
It's Nationals, and you don't skip Nationals without a compelling reason even if the level of competition isn't as high. Euros is nearby and offers a great opportunity to get points, minimum score, etc. JO isn't as physically demanding. When you're 30 year old and have had multiple surgeries, you have to pick and choose. Going to Worlds as the sole Russian could be a problem; what happens if he has health issues and needs to WD halfway through like in 2005? Russia wouldn't get a men's spot for the Olympics and would need to qualify one next fall. It may be strategic, sure: maybe he feels he's not in top form at the moment, in which case, taking on the best skaters in the world - one of them on home ice, we've all seen what that can mean for various Canadian skaters - would be a strategic mistake. Or maybe Plushenko and Mishin just haven't decided yet how they'll play the rest of the season. You are not privy to their reasoning for doing what they do, you are not familiar with all the issues related to Plushenko's health, and while it's fine to speculate regarding their decisions, that's all it is: speculation.
And it is true. Yes. That will always be the case, and Mishen comments like this make the sport better if only for the reason that it keeps people in the sport re-addressing the issue to make sure that it doesn't get out of control.
I sometimes think on reading the comments that, even when we try to be unbiased on this site, we tend to cling to his/her celebrity rather than his/her ability (even after that ability seems no longer there). Some commentators seem to accept the lobbying/prejudice as part of the sport, while others see it as something that should be eradicated or lessened as much as possible. The thread on this site regarding Takahashi and Hanyu illustrates that.
Mishin's comments seem reasonable and appropriate to raise concerns, especially now in view of what happened in women's at NHK. Still, scoring is a lot better now than it has ever been IMO.

So, this is the latest feel good film from The Muppets. The story line is a bit shaky but it is well worth watching just for the music from Bret Mackenzie. He is genius at daft songs and they make me laugh out loud just thinking about it!
I didnt really expect too much from that movie, but I caught myself laughing out loud a couple of time! So If you can pass the first dull 25 minutes you might be pleasantly surprised!
The Muppets is a brilliant film, bought as a gift and they loved it, already watched it through about 4 times and only had it a few days.

I had never gone to 'fun and games' until someone mentioned this in the general formum for g2g, I'm glad I saw that post :-)
The fall Pecan Street Festival downtown on 6th Street is September 28th & 29th. It's a free festival downtown that happens once in the spring and once in the fall. Here's a link: http://www.oldpecanstreetfestival.com/ Since it's free it would be easy to meet as a group downtown at a restaurant, then wander around the festival and meet back up for an evening activity. (So it would be just under four months from now).
This is just an idea to get the brainstorming going - there are always lots of activities going on - post away!
[This message edited by persevere at 9:54 PM, June 3rd (Monday)]
my vote for the g2g is the weekend of this festival.

From Wales to New Zealand
13 January 2010,
As you may have seen reported in the press, I have decided to take up the post of Chief Executive at the Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa. It has been far from easy to reach this decision for a variety of personal and professional reasons; and, to say that it represents a big step would be something of an understatement.
It has been a privilege to serve as Director General of Amgueddfa Cymru. During this time, I have truly come to appreciate how integral culture is to Wales's national psyche and how we should never lose sight of its importance in underpinning Welsh society and shaping the nation's future. Our recent work regarding the positive contribution our museums make to Wales highlighted this fact, and we are committed as an organisation to working with other cultural organisations in Wales to take this research forward. Wales has strong cultural assets, and there is a job to be done in turning these into a more distinct brand and marketing them more effectively, both within Wales and beyond. There is a real danger, particularly during recession, of thinking that it's not worth worrying about culture but it is incredibly important to our country and our economy.
I am excited about the challenges and different perspectives that I will face in this new role, but undoubtedly my approach will be shaped by my experiences here in Wales and Northern Ireland. Museums can't shy away from telling national stories, no matter how intricate or controversial they may be, and Te Papa is world famous for its innovative approach to demonstrating how culture and community memory has moulded the history and identity of New Zealand's communities.
I won't be leaving immediately. Over the next six months, I will continue to update this blog and look forward to remaining involved with a variety of projects including St Fagans and the redevelopment of the West Wing.

PROOF of the existence of the elusive Welsh Dragon has been discovered, if this picture is anything to go by!
It has been claimed that after many years of 'following historical records and local folk memories' a group of 'undercover palaeontologists' finally found proof of the existence of dragons in the heart of the Preseli Hills last week.
An almost complete skeleton, showing full wing and tail detail can be seen in the picture which was sent with the message: "We think it's a full grown male based on some of the incomplete remains we've also come across.
"He's about five foot long with a wingspan slightly more than that.
"People might be surprised that it's quite small but judging by his dentition he was lethal even before he brought any fire producing capacity into play."
Anyone stumbling on the find could well believe in the existence of the mythical fire-breathing creature, however, the Western Telegraph, can reveal the creation is actually the work of art student Micky Tose who has been working on an AS art project under the title 'The World of Fantasy'.

Bronwyn McAllister's future vocation was decided when, as a 13-year-old, she was allowed to choose curtains for her bedroom.
Looking at fabric samples, McAllister saw straight away which one would suit her room, and it was then she knew her future lay in making spaces look beautiful.
Three years on, she began pursuing that dream while still at school by working with the display team at a Palmerston North department store.
Following that stint, she worked with a professional window-dresser. The pair ended up working together for nine years, eventually becoming business partners.
After spending time working in sales, McAllister began her own visual merchandising and home styling business, Skyte, in Auckland.
Her creative flair is evident in the Northcote home she shares with husband Tim Dalzell and their 9-year-old twins, Mac and Will.
One of the attractions of the home for McAllister is the U-shaped central layout with an entertaining space that opens from the family room and dining area.
She says that creating intriguing and welcoming interior spaces is not based on any rules, but is rather "a knack for putting it all together and making sure a look is balanced so that your eye isn't darting all over the place".
Inspiration can be found anywhere. "Whether it's old or new, I can see potential in so much stuff. Even something that's cheap can be turned into something wonderful.
"I'll see something in a store and know exactly where I can put it; it's an instinctive thing and has nothing to do with how much something costs.
"Take the retro-inspired tea towel I've used as a chair cover, for example. It's given the chair, which was from our local inorganic rubbish collection, a new lease on life."
McAllister loves filling her home with antiques and pieces that have a story, such as a printer's tray that is hung like a display case on the wall.
"I attached a handle to the side, just for fun," she says. "It's always being added to or edited and I love the way the knick-knacks have their own little space in the different compartments. It's this kind of feature that creates an interesting look in a room."
Although certain rules can be useful in interior design, McAllister says people should not let them hinder their imagination.
"I wonder if some people follow too many rules that stop them from being creative."
Style tips
Inspirational words: McAllister finds new ideas and different perspectives on design by reading. She is enjoying Etc and The Stylist's Guide to NYC, both by Sibella Court. "Sibella is an interior stylist who owns a shop in Sydney called The Society Inc. She's a real inspiration to me."
Simple arrangement: One of McAllister's favourite things is to fill a glass jar with fresh flowers and place it with a candle. "It is the perfect way to dress up our little conversation table outside."

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — The federal government shutdown is having an impact on the court system, with U.S. attorneys shelving most civil prosecutions and immigration courts closed except for the most pressing cases.
A Justice Department directive says U.S. attorneys will continue to handle criminal cases without interruption "to maintain the safety of human life and the protection of property."
The department says civil cases are to be "curtailed or postponed" to the extent that can be done without compromising to a significant degree the safety of human life or the protection of property.
Nationwide, U.S. attorneys' offices are operating at 63 percent of their normal staffing levels, counting non-lawyers and lawyers.

Getting Phooey to Run
This is very interesting. Getting this apparently simple proof of concept working is difficult for me. I've tried on Suse 10.2 and Windows XP. files I used on XP:
The recommended wxwindows 2.4.2 requires a wxhaskell dependent on ghc640. The problem is that arrows require base >=2.0 I could update Cabal to 1.1.7 using darcs etc. But I find no instructions on how to update the base-1.0 which comes with GHC 6.4.0. Even with instructions I think it requires a C compiler or more?
I use WinXP, GHC 6.6, and wxWidgets 2.4.2. I compiled wxWidgets and wxHaskell from sources. Conal 23:47, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Yes, this looks nice; I can report partiual success on linux. I was able to build using ghc6.6 on Fedora 5, using wxGTK version 2.6.3 (built from source) and then wxHaskell. Phooey examples ran, however titles (window and panel) did not appear correctly, nor did text output, e.g. on the "shopping list" example the "total" field remains blank. On checking the wxHaskell demos, it seems the problem is in there. User:Djd 04:54, 14 May 2007
Thanks for the report. I expected wxHaskell to take care of cross-platform compatibility, but I guess not. Hm. Conal 17:26, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Outdoor bee work is winding down, so now it is time to get back to pollen sub...
In talking with beekeepers, there seems to be a couple of primary parameters that are important. I am not sure how to rank the following, but price, consumption rate, and protein content seem to be towards the top of the list, so that is what I am focusing on. Below are a couple of formulations I have been working with. They are pretty similar, but one has a higher protein content than the other. Sugar is a great feeding stimulant, so the formula with the lower protein content has more sugar. It all depends on what is more important to the bees and the beekeeper at the time.
I would appreciate any input, and if you like, mix some up and let me know what you think?
Sugar 33.0 pounds
Water 27.0 pounds
Brewers Yeast 18.0 pounds
Soy Flour 18.0 pounds
Corn Oil 2.5 pounds
Latshaw Pre Mix 1.5 pounds
Total 100 Pounds of Patties
As Fed % Protein Approx. = 17.5%
Sugar 37.0 pounds
Water 27.0 pounds
Brewers Yeast 16.0 pounds
Soy Flour 16.0 pounds
Corn Oil 2.5 pounds
Latshaw Pre Mix 1.5 pounds
Total 100 Pounds of Patties
As Fed % Protein Approx. = 15.5%

Justin Timberlake is shooting down reports that he slammed Britney Spears during his performance at Saturday's DirecTV Super Bowl concert in New Orleans.
"Ok. I see you. Wouldn't disrespect ANYONE personally. Ever. #Relax #ItsBritneyBitch I do love that saying though*with accent* #Respect," Justin Tweeted.

According to Hollywood Life, during the show, Justin told the crowd, "Sometimes in life, you think you found the one. But then one day you find out, that she is just some b***h!"

The "Suit & Tie" singer, who is now married to actress Jessica Biel, spoke out about his relationship with Britney in June 2011 during an interview with Vanity Fair.
"I wish her the best -- that goes without saying. We haven't spoken in nine or ten years," he said at the time. "We were two birds of the same feather - small-town kids, doing same thing. But when you become adults, and the way you were as kids doesn't make any sense. I won't speak on her, but at least for me, I was a totally different person."

Hey guys my name is Dave, Just recently was very lucky in getting a car i've been wanting for the past 4 years, as a graduation gift and late 18th birthday gift.
Its a Rally Blue 2014 WRX STi it is lightly used at only 6.5k Miles on it. Just wondering what are some tips and advice you can give me as a new owner and this being my first performance car. Also i wanted to do some mods, such as Coilovers, Blow off valve. But i believe my dad purchased an extended warranty with the car so i do not want to risk voiding the warranty or it will have been a waste of money for him. Will these mods void the whole warranty or only parts and if there is a loop hole of someway to get it through subaru or a certified specialist and it not void the warranty can you please let me know before i go further with these ideas! LOL
Thanks! Happy to be joining the community !

Pueblo residents say water restrictions are too strict
Water restrictions in a Pueblo subdivision are keeping residents from watering outdoors, doing laundry and using their dishwashers.
"No flushing toilets, no swamp coolers, no outside watering, no washing your laundry," resident Melinda Ingo said.
Residents of the Zinno Subdivision in Pueblo County said they recently received a letter stating their new water restrictions. According to the letter, each household can use only 62 gallons of water a day. Exceeding that limit results in fines. Outdoor watering results in a $1,000 fine. A second violation of outdoor watering restrictions results in a customer's service being shut off.
Residents said these are too strict to follow.
"There's no way I can live in fear every day," Ingo said. "I have four children. I have to do laundry, I have to do dishes."
The Joseph Corporation gets its water rights from the Colorado Water Protective and Development Association. In its letter to residents, it says the water restrictions come from the CWPDA.
But according to residents, the problem is how their neighborhood is being treated. A letter from the CWPDA refers to it as a farm unit.
David Stanford, utilities manager at the Joseph Corporation, said the area once was a farm unit. And that tapping into another water source would result in extremely high rates.
This isn't the first time residents have had issues with the water company. About three years ago, they went without water for days. Residents said at the time, they attempted to get their water service from the St. Charles Water Division, but it didn't work.

Writing articles - using "you" or "it"?
not really technically but something I am thinking a little bit about.
The questions is if it is more "professional" or "better" to write something with using the word "you" or something in more general like "it" and not addressing to any person.
Examples what i mean:
1) Before you can use this feature you have to enable it in the settings.
2) Before this feature can be used it has to be enabled in the settings.
1) While the tests nothing odd happened.
2) While my tests nothing odd happened.
As English is not my main language I would like to know which is better to use and which do you personally prefer in articles, reviews etc.
Only thing I came up with is that you should use whatever you choose for the whole article.

Town Square
A house divided
Original post made by james m, Atherton: Lindenwood, on Jun 21, 2010
This is yet another unfortunate indication that something is terribly wrong with our Town government.
I dare say we need a new City Manager and a New Town Council, and maybe even a new police chief. Hopefully the electorate will bring us the breath of fresh air that is needed this November.

I'd be in favor of bringing in Chief Moore on an emergency/interim basis to save the police department. I was shocked that the police union wouldn't endorse him when he ran for council. This guy has done more for the Atherton police than anyone. I never figured out how the union could have the right to endorse a council candiate in the first place, but the fact they endorsed Elizabeth Lewis instead of Chief Moore was very troubling to me.
Obviously the police are trying to protect Lewis and her housing situation as she is their gal on the council.

With what has happened in the past it isn't too far fetched a notion that the PD will seal off Gruber's office with yellow crime scene tape and find something incriminating.

In response to James M.:
I'm curious as to what basis you draw your conclusion that there is a chasm between the APD and the Administration.
My perception was more along the lines of unqualified support and the San Mateo County Protocol of 'One Big Happy Family'. Perhaps, you could point to some facts which support this conclusion.
The City Manager has done nothing effectual or confrontative with the PD that I have known about, and the Council has the power of hire and fire over the CM. Where's the conflict?
In Response to Peter:
I have both affection and regard for your positions generally, but I really do feel that you need to try a bit harder to have empathy for those in positions of vulnerability. Just because you are wealthy and relatively unassailable by these people does not mean that others are as safe. Have a heart.

JAT has a very good point. The powers that be have crushed the less fortunate. There is only one persoon in Atherton's 2,250 households who have the resources, the will and the ability to take on the corrupt and powerful who are entrenched. That man is Jon Buckheit.
Jon Buckheit should be our next City Manager.
The day that Jon Buckheit becomes our City Manager cannot come soon enough.

I don't know if there will ever be an answer to this or not. I wish this newspaper would at least leave a trail of deleted comments. That way when a person or group of persons are finally getting the courage to post something that they believe is important, it either stays on this site or if it is deleted it says it has been deleted. Vanished comments are the ones I concerned about.
There is an Atherton elder alive today only because I saw a couple of comments that were posted before they were Vanished, in a matter of minutes from going up.

To the posters on this thread:
The Almanac edits or deletes posts that do not conform to terms of use, or use unacceptable language. In most cases we try and simply delete the offending material. We are also concerned about posters making unsubstantiated allegations about local officials or their character. Also, be aware that of the hundreds of posts on this site 99 percent are left up. If these terms are distasteful to you, you are welcome to post your thoughts elsewhere.

Atherton town employees have been threatened with termination if they speak out about what is happening in town.
When I return to town to work for the new city manager. Town employees will be encouraged to speak out and to speak freely.
There is a culture of fear and repression. [Portion removed. Avoid attacks on named individuals.]
I know because I have spoken with current and former employees.
The rift between the City Manager and the Police is real. It is a result of the Henderson Buckley incident.

I really appreciate this Town Square forum provided by the Almanac. I am learning a lot about what is going on in Atherton's town government, even if some of it lacks detail. Thanks, Almanac editor, for explaining why you have cut something out, and giving the reason for it.
I am discouraged, as an Atherton resident, that things are not going well in the town. People want a change of leadership on the council, but I don't see any obvious, really good leaders emerging. I know there are capable residents out there who have the best interests of the town at heart. But the kind of commitment needed right now to make things right is really huge. Is there someone out there who gets it and can help bring about constructive change? Please come forward now, before the filing deadline for City Council comes and goes!

This forum can be useful. But, given the anonymity, there are many "contributions" which are filled with inaccuracies, speculation, and often pure fantasy.
As for the Council, who in their right mind would step forward?
The dialog about the Town's leadership in this forum alone would have most reasonable people devote their time to more rewarding endeavors.
The lack of accountability for defamatory speech by those who know they can say anything without consequence would be enough to have most qualified people stay away.

Concerned citizen -
I would encourage YOU to step up and file. It isn't very difficult, the time commitment is less than you think and, perhaps most important, by virtue of your engagement, I suspect you are as qualified as any other person who might run.
Remember, no council members had any other public office experience before they were elected either.
Step forward. Take the initiative. You can make a difference.
a resident of Atherton: West Atherton
on Jun 25, 2010 at 5:10 pm
Thanks for the vote of confidence. But I tend to agree with Cheshire Cat's sentiment: who in their right mind would step forward? It is a thankless job, that's for sure. I would be willing to support a "slate" of candidates committed to hiring a city attorney who is a champion of the Brown Act and who would insist that all public business take place in public. Also, that attorney would know when he or she is conflicted and would be able to advise council members of the same. That would be one place to start.
a resident of Woodside: other
on Jun 25, 2010 at 5:20 pm
Concerned -
It's a start, I agree. But it's too easy to wait for others to step forward. We need good, engaged, reasonable people to take the initiative and take back their government. This is just too important to sit on the sidelines. If not you, who?
As I said before, not one of your current city council members had prior experience either. You can do it... but only if you WANT to.

Politicians will be politicians. They'll run over staff,they'll do favors for their friends if given the opportunity, and they'll fight like ally cats amongst themselves.
There's nothing wrong with the current City Council. There's everything wrong with the City Manager and City Attorney. The City Council is designed by the City's charter to have no power. The City's current problems are the making of the City Manager.
The Town is falling apart because the current City Manager is incapable of holding the City together. He's in way over his head. He's generally acknowledged to be a nice guy. However it is also generally acknowledged that he's in way over his head.
If one wants positive and lasting change, dump the City Manager in favor of a real leader. Dump the City Attorney too in favor of someone who has integrity.
Once the new city manager is in he should fire every single department head as the Charter gives him the right to do and then he should start a national recruitment for a team of professionals. When the Town stops paying top dollar for corrupt amateurs, the Town will begin to right itself.

there's nothing wrong with the current city council???!!!! Seriously?
You have one council memeber that thinks she's above the law, built her house illegally and assaulted a citizen in front of witnesses and participates in decisions involving zoning for which she is clearly conflicted. You have anohter council person that solicted a loan from someone that is suing the city and propelled a witch hunt against the town's former finance director that cost the city over $600,000. And you have another council person that did not recuse himself from a vote regarding a lawsuit against HSR for which he is clearly conflicted. Theres's nothing wrong the current city council? Are you out of your mind? Three members of this council are seriously ethically challenged, to put it mildly, and you don't think there is anything wrong with this council. Absolutley amazing!

Acknowledged this city council does have warts. Yes it is an overstatement to say nothing is wrong with this council. The point is, the kind of government established in atherton is designed to limit the power of crooked politicians.
Real power and responsibility rest with the City Manager. This City Manager has been a failure. To complain about the conduct of the Council detracts from what is really wrong with the Town, the incompetence of management.

Cheshire Cat complains about anonymous posts. An odd complaint for one who posts anonymously.
Cheshire cat has said allegations of misconduct by members of the City Council are defamatory. This is untrue. Elizabeth Lewis built a house in violation of the Town's zoning ordinance Charles Marsala asked for a loan from one who is suing the Town.
Councilman Jerry Carlson voted to oppose high speed rail. According to Zillow, Jerry Carlson's house on Mount Vernon Lane is worth $3 million.
Jerry Carlson should have recused himself but he did not.
In another post Cheshire cat tries to rationalize the self dealing of Jerry Carlson. Jerry Carlson broke the law. Jerry Carlson should be kicked off the Council.
There is a majority of the Council who have abused their positions to serve their own interests.
Menlo Voter is correct, the City Manager serves as the pleasure of the City Council. Until such time as the Town gets an honest and capable City Council, we will be stuck with a City Manager whose only interest is to protect his own job.

The Town's taxpayers have already wasted scarce dollars on the investigation into Marsala and Lewis. The Town Attorney has ruled. Voters are left to judge them on election day. That's the way it works.
Jerry Carlson is also to be judged by electors. Yet, he should be fairly judged on the facts, not on the innuendo and defamatory hearsay found in this "forum".
I present the California Attorney General's guidance on conflict of interest by elected officials:
"If an official has a financial interest within the meaning of the Act and the governmental decision in question will foreseeably have a material effect on that interest, the official still may not be disqualified from participating in the decision. One last variable must be considered: whether the decision will affect the official's economic interest differently than it does those of the "public generally." (§ 87103.) If the official is participating in a decision on an issue that will affect the general public's financial interests in the same manner as it does the official's own, the fact that it is affecting materially the official's interest does not create a conflict of interest for the official."
Web Link
I suppose someone can dig deep into their pockets and sponsor a suit to determine the meaning of "public generally" in the context of the Carlson "conflict". It seems to me there is a substantial number of Atherton parcels along the railroad right of way, including the Town owned HP Park, which could suffer a reduction in value (and tax income to the Town). And if the HSR were "above grade", the number of impacted parties would be widely expanded. The threshold is easily met.
Infrequent visitors to these "forums" need to know there is a (small) group of people who keep throwing issues at the wall hoping they will stick. The group is tied together by the common goal of seeking retribution upon the Town's Government for perceived injustices.
This alleged Carlson conflict of interest issue doesn't hold water unless one wishes to hold Atherton's elected officials to a higher standard than those imposed by law.
a resident of Atherton: Lloyden Park
on Jun 28, 2010 at 7:34 am
The Town of Atherton is 7 square miles, and contains 2,250 parcels and about 7,700 residents
Less than 14% of Atherton's households lie within the strip of land between the El Camino Real and Middlefield road, the area most heavily affected by High Speed Rail.
These observations are by no means conclusive as to whether Carlson has a disproportionate interest. However, when combined with Cheshire Cat's citation, they do strongly suggest that a review of this matter by the City Attorney is called for.
One other concern that has not raised. Councilman Carlson participated in deliberations during closed session. To the extent one violates the law during a closed session, the closed session is no longer privileged.
Additionally, any one bringing suit against the Town alleging a brown act violation may recover attorney's fees if under the Private Attorney General Act if one prevails.

Jerry Carlson is getting ready to run for reelection (or should I say election? I don't think he was ever elected in a contested contest in the first place) and it seems as if Cheshire Cat is his campaign manager. She would have us believe that Carlson's home, on the street next to the high-speed rail, will have property value affected by the rail as other homes in Atherton would "generally".
How can this be true, Cheshire Cat? How could a home West of Alameda be affected the same way as Carlson's on Mt. Vernon Lane? How could a come in West Atherton be affected the same way, or Lindenwood?
The "general public" exemption to financial conflicts of interest you quoted really means the issue affects every constituent in the same general way (e.g., the state government proposes a special $5,000/year "Atherton resident" tax, and Jerry Carlson lobbies against it). His home is simply too close to the high-speed rail to meet this legal test, but he refuses to disqualify himself. Why?
FACE IT: He's breaking the law. You would have been better off not quoting any laws, as the Atherton voters are smart enough to discern "general issues" from a home smack against the rail.
NEXT, another vivid reason Jerry Carlson does not deserve to be elected is he can't formulate his own stand on issues. For example, he voted to refund $1.6M of road impact fees to the developers who are behind Charles Marsala and Elizabeth Lewis, but was courageously delayed by Kathy McKeithen and Jim Dobbie. In the interim, a large outcry developed and now he's getting ready to try to make it look like he's saving the day by having a reduced amount refunded. BALONEY. He was ready to give it all back.
He was ready to give it all back because the only person who will support his candidacy (other than you, if you're someone other then Elizabeth Lewis... [portion removed]) is Elizabeth Lewis. [Portion removed; please stick to facts] I'd actually rather have Lewis than Carlson because at least you can figure out how she stands.
Finally, you would have readers believe that anyone who disagrees with Jerry Carlson is simply on a vendetta against the Atherton government in general because of perceived injustices. Really? Is everyone who disagrees with Jerry Carlson also against Kathy McKeithen? Please, you just look foolish saying things like this.
If Jerry Carlson runs, he's going to be humiliated. You need to face up to this and deal with it. No amount of propaganda is going to work. His own record contradicts it and will be brought out at every opportunity.

Why should a citizen who has stepped up to the challenges and responsibilities of elected office care what anonymous posters have to say about their performance?

Menlo Voter states:"not have to worry about an opinion costing you your livelyhood."
I think the breast beatings on fear of retaliation used by anonymous posters are far out of proportion to the probability of any such action. In fact, history shows that the best protection for a true and honest whistle blower is to go public because then any attempt at retaliation will cause a strong protective response by the press and by fellow citizens. How could I ever hope to protect someone whose identity I do not know?
And when I was employed in the Federal government, academia and the private sector I was equally outspoken but NEVER off-the-record or anonymously.
Speaking out anonymously is a very comfortable habit to get into but speaking out in your own name is more powerful and more rewarding. Try it, you will like it.

Peter: I was not speaking so much form a whistle blower stand point but as one that does business in this community. With some people my opinions could cost me business. That's why I prefer the anonimity and that is why polite people don't discuss politics or religion.

Peter finds it disturbing that an anonymous poster would criticize an elected official, but he seems to be okay with an anonymous poster defending the same elected official.
I find this to be a logical contradiction. Some people fear retaliation for their posts. As Menlo Voter pointed out, the retaliation doesn't have to be a bunko squad taking them from their bed in the middle of the night.
I do not see a valid reason why a supporter need remain anonymous (unless it is a facade).
Anyway, the issue of should anonymous postings be allowed on these forums has been beaten to death, Peter, and the general consensus seems to be they should be allowed.
The real topic of this conversation is does Jerry Carlson have a conflict of interest to vote on high speed rail lawsuits. If his house is indeed a stone's throw from the rail, there would obviously be an appreciable decrease in value if the rail were to come here, and there is a clear conflict of interest.
If Mr. Carlson is truly concerned about the residents of Atherton, he would recuse himself from the high speed rail issues because of this conflict of interest. Otherwise the proponents of high speed rail can and will use his involvement as a reason to discount the opposition of the Town of Atherton. There are plenty of qualified residents in Atherton who do not live very close to the high speed rail who can lead this fight.
What am I missing?

One should always think twice before sending a post. I may regret not heeding this advice.
I object in the strongest possible terms to Peter Carpenter's post about whistleblowers being granted protection.
POGO has reminded me on more than one occasion that everyone knows what happened to me. Accordingly I will refrain from retelling my story.
However I will say that I speak with authority on what happens to whistleblowers.
Peter Carpenter. I mean no disrespect but you are "california dreamin" if you think the whistleblower protections you speak of have any practical effect.
I respectfully submit that the whistleblower who isn't crushed by the powerful and corrupt is a rare commodity.
I have empathy for those that post under an assumed name.
Mr. Carpenter. This is not breastbeating. This is the voice of experience and of reason.
Again I mean no disrespect but however I do, quite frankly feel a sense of outrage at the following statement you made
"In fact, history shows that the best protection for a true and honest whistle blower is to go public because then any attempt at retaliation will cause a strong protective response by the press and by fellow citizens."
My experience was just the opposite. I was criticized in this paper after having been terminated. I was ostracized by the very people who you say would rally against a whistleblower.
My experience was that the time people began to rally around me was when they saw I had a winning case. Help was not there when I needed it. I had to dig down deep, steel myself and fight for my life alone and afraid.
Mr. Carpenter when it comes to how whistleblowers are treated in this community, you have no idea of what you are talking about.
By the way. I wasn't the only one who suffered. A colleague of mine who was seen as being allied with me lost his job and wound up having to spend a year living out of his car. He didn't get a dime for his troubles, he didn't have the resources to fight for himself.
He is still in need. If you feel and the rest of our community feel like rallying around him let me know, I'll tell you where to send the check so that he can get back on his feet.

John, you didn't need to think twice before sending your post. You lived through incredible retaliation for speaking out. In Peter's defense, most people who have not directly experienced this tend to think "the system works". Yes, there are whistleblower laws in California, and this is why Atherton ultimately settled with you and conceded you were 100% right in doing what you did through issuing you an unprecedented public commendation. But they knew that those laws really only practically apply if you can get to the courthouse steps. Most men would have crumbled long before you did, perhaps after getting fired, perhaps after being subject to a nine-month long criminal "investigation" by Stephen Wagstaffe designed to intimidate you and force you to give up hope.
I have also met the colleague John refers to who had to live in his car after being retaliated against. This is as real as it gets.

To use an expression Pogo has used before. Peter Carpenter suffers from a shocking lack of situational awareness.
Where have you been for the past 2 years Peter Carpenter? Have you been on another planet? Have you been vacationing in Europe?
Do you have any idea what is going on in this town?
Wake up and smell the coffee.

Peter, like most elected officials, believes that simply passing a "Whistleblower Ordinance" somehow solves the problem. It does not. As Mr. Johns stated, the reality is a world away from the intent...

Menlo Voter states:"you've been lucky enough to NOT know what you're talking about."
Not true. I try to always speak from experience and in this case I think I have more than any of the other respondents. When I was a member of the Senior Executive Service in the Federal government I blew the whistle on a sitting Cabinet officer. My resulting interviews with the investigators resulted in almost 400 page of sworn testimony - I left the government and nothing happened to the Cabinet officer.

Is Peter Carpenter in fantasy land?
In one post he talks about whistleblowers being protected. In another post he speaks of his own experience of being a whistleblower.
As Peter describes his own experience, there is no mention of front page headlines by the Washington Post, or marches on capitol hill by an angry electorate. Just Peter losing his job and the target of his whistleblowing siting pretty.
Mr. Carpenter\'s own post seems to be a powerful argument for allowing anonymous tips and anonymous posts. Maybe Atherton should set up a toll free fraud hotline, just like some of the major accounting firms did after the Enron scandal.
No doubt Peter Carpenter heard about Deep Throat. This guy was a national hero, but he didn\'t reveal his identity until he was on his death bed. Ever wonder why Peter?

The real estate development community in Atherton is big business. Billions of dollars of real estate has gone up in Atherton in the past decade. The real estate developers currently control two council seats [Portion deleted. Please don't use Town Square to accuse named individuals of wrongdoing.]
When someone gets in the way of that money train, that someone is going to be crushed like a bug. What Mr. Johns has spoken of here nearly cost him his life. Another colleague was put out to live in a car for a year. Have you ever lived in a car, Mr. Carpenter?
If anyone thinks an Atherton employee, a regular working-class individual, can speak out without losing their job because they're going to be "protected" as a "whistle blower", just look at John Buckheit. The cops tried to falsify a police report against a millionaire, and they still haven't had to answer for it. If they got away with it against him for so long, how can a normal person who is just making ends meet hope to put up any resistance to this gauntlet? More specifically, if the filthy rich residents of this town can't fight these thugs, how can the people who work here?
Buckheit and Johns have somehow been able to keep up the only sustained attack on this morally bankrupt team of thugs. I say thugs, and I mean it. There are street criminals who have more sense of right and wrong than these people. These two fighters deserve our support and thanks. But don't assume they haven't taken a lot of arrows, or just anyone can do the same thing they've done.

Menlo Voter asks:"And your income was effected how Peter?"
I lost my job and therefore lost my income - not that it is any of your business. Suffice it to say I am personally well aware of the consequences of whistle blowing. I made my charges over my own signature, paid the price and moved on.
I still am opposed to anonymous postings of unsubstantiated charges of elected and appointed officials. And I frankly don't care if others have a different opinion and set of values - that is their choice.

and then you got another job didn't you Peter? In this economy the fact that one is still employed is enough for them to keep their mouth shut or to want to be anonymous.
As Cautionary tale stated if the powers that be in your town would try ot take down a millionaire, they would have absolutley zero compunction against taking down a lowly city worker.
By your own experience you know whistle blower laws don't do squat to protect the whistle blower.

"The cops tried to falsify a police report" They didn't try they DID falsify it.
As for Whistleblower being protected.......Not in San Mateo County
To the list of John Johns, Jon Buckheit I can think of at least 10 others but one specific case comes to mind.
Paul Schmidt Systems Operator in the District Attorney's Office 1996
He lost his job at the San Mateo County District Attorney's for reporting a high ranking employee in the DA's office committing a felony.

I don't get how a portion of my response was deleted. Since when can't the public complain about their elected officials? I thought that happens all the time on these forums (for example, "Steve Schmidt says he won't run for council").
The FACTS are:
1. When John Johns went after certain developers breaking building codes, the cops went after him. This is documented.
2. Elizabeth Lewis, not the former police chief Dick Moore, received the police union endorsement for council. This is documented. She also received most of her campaign money from real estate developers, and is a real estate developer herself. This is documented.
3. In Atherton, we have not even have a discussion about freezing police salaries (the biggest part of the budget), outsourcing, or changing the pension system. This is documented.
4. Opinion: There is a linkage between these facts, a quid pro quo.
Here's another set of FACTS:
1. Wynne Furth exonerated Charles Marsala.
2. Wynne Furth exonerated Elizabeth Lewis.
3. Wynne Furth exonerated Jerry Carlson or will exonerate him for High Speed Rail issues.
4. These three council members protect Furth and her massive legal billings. Even now that her law firm has closed down, and the "big law firm" was the justification used to hire her in the first place, she will continue as city council through the actions of these three corrupt council members.
It's all one big, happy family. Elected council members, cops, and attorneys not working for the best interests of the citizens of this town, but for the big real estate developers. When one of them gets in a jam, the others come to their rescue. They stick together, and they're organized. In fairness to Jerry Carlson, he's just doing it to fit in with the only person who supports him, Elizabeth Lewis. But the end result is equally as bad.

The more I read Peter Carpenter\'s posts, the more I respect him.
We may disagree with him. However we must acknowledge that he is well informed. He writes with dignity and with the kind of authority from having \"been there and done that\".
One thing that I have learned is we can draw different conclusions from similar experiences. This is because none of us see life through the same lenses. Our perceptions are colored by the vast majority of experiences in life that our own and only our own.
Learning is largely accomplished through free expression amongst those whom we know.
Peter is right to discount those who post anonymously, not because the anonymous lack courage or are by default untrustworthy. We should discount the opinions of those who post anonymously because we do not know where they are coming from.
We do not know how to interpret what the anonymous are saying because we are unable to understand the perspective from which the viewpoint is being shared.
I know where Peter Carpenter stands. I have met him I have read his C.V. I do not know Menlo Voter, POGO, Concerned Citizen or Cheshire Cat. For all I know these are from one person who suffers from multiple personality disorder. I have know way of knowing.
It is true that I have read Pogo\'s Menlo Voter\'s Concerned Citizen\'s and Cheshire Cat\'s posts and that I have learned something from their posts. However I perceive Peter Carpenter\'s posts as far more credible, because I am in a position to judge for myself Mr. Carpenter\'s credibility.
I may think Mr. Carpenter is prone to \"california dreamin\" once in a while. However I will always take into very careful consideration what he has to say.

or should i just keep breeding my bee's and only use my queens ? I know i'll be making nucs and catching swarms to keep my numbers up so i can lose some but will my bees one day become mite resistant? The steps i'm taking this winter is to read all i can about the Varroa Mites and Viruses and i think i'm the only beekeeper for miles and the bee's i have now i made off three hives i had last year i bought from a cemical free beekeeper and 3 nucs i got from another cemical free beekeeper this year the rest i made I had 19 last month and i let the weak{4}ones die out mite pressure i'm quessing one was queen problem.
So as of right now i have 15 cemical free hives and would like to keep it that way .

Witch way would you go?
Thank you.

I've been in the midst of a bathroom remodel and veterinary issues, so my prop building has slowed a lot.
I'm coming out of the hole, and have started working on my new gauntlets!
This is them, right out of the box:
Filler / sanding was all done, so they were basically ready to rock. One thing I really liked was the use of caulking for the seam at the flame thrower, rather than putty/bondo. Stays flexible, and won't chip out over time.
As for mods, I removed the molded in dental expander and flame thrower buttons, to be replaced with other stuff that I have waiting.
I didn't take pics of the primer. We've all seen primer. Grey. Uninteresting.
Here they are, painted silver, shown next to my Ruffkintoys gauntlets for size comparison:
The liquid masking I did in bed at 3 in the morning, so no pics. I used latex masking fluid, and the MoM fett reference pics on this site.
Fast forward:
and a shot in direct sunlight to get a better feel for the true color:
I tried something new with the paint, and am really happy with it. Rustoleum America's Finest Claret Wine comes recommended in a lot of places. It's decent, but WAY too red.
It also covers like ****. It usually takes 3-4 coats for your stuff to not look pink.
Once I masked these, I painted them flat black, then misted layers of the Claret Wine satin over it until I got the look I wanted. The black base made SUCH a difference!
Still do do: switches and buttons, LED, closing mechanism (thinking magnets), padding and some hand painting, then weathering.
The rocket is either psberetta or russrep. I think the former, but I forget. Cast metal dental expander that I got from fettpride a while back. Real MQ-1 keypad. psberetta darts.
So far, so good! These gauntlets are geat! Totally worth the wait!

The tragic Boston Marathon bombings have generated powerful conversations about homegrown terrorism versus attacks by foreigners. About how easy it is to jump to conclusions in the wake of disaster, and about how difficult it is these days to feel truly safe.
I wonder, then, if this isn't the perfect weekend to attend one of a series of forums related to the controversial National Defense Authorization Act, the military spending bill that includes a provision allowing the executive branch to detain US citizens indefintely and without due process.

Rapid Fotos of Plants in the Tropics: Español, Português
a brief guide for field inventory:
In this situation, you are not taking fotos as art or for a magazine, you are taking them mainly so that you can either identify the plants, use as a voucher, or use for a simple field guide. There is usually not time to use a tripod. Sometimes you are lucky and your fotos are both practical and artistic. It takes time to get good at it, and a better camera helps, especially one with a stabilizing mechanism in the camera body or the lens.
Look for dark background or make dark background.
Light behind a subject not only distracts, it also makes it more difficult to adjust contrast and other settings on the computer afterward. When the subject is at hand, you can train yourself to turn the subject or yourself so that the background is as dark as possible. When looking through the viewfinder always look at the background as well as at the subject, and you might be able to move to avoid sunflecks. Otherwise, you can carry the plant to a darker place, or arrange a dark cloth behind the subject.
Avoid distracting backgrounds.
Try not to take a foto with the subject placed on the ground (unless that is its normal habit), or in the middle of other vegetation in the same plane of focus. I.e. try to put some distance between the subject and the surroundings.
Use flash.
A flash photo, though not "natural", improves sharpness, color saturation, and focuses attention on the subject while reducing other distractions. Better cameras have settings that allow you to "force" the flash even when there is enough light. Otherwise, the best time to take fotos is in early morning or late afternoon because most cameras have settings that will automatically activate the flash when light is low. Fotos at night are possible for most cameras, but it is usually more difficult to focus. Flashes use up the batteries more rapidly, so come prepared with extras or a way to recharge them.
Reduce exposure for flash closeups.
Better cameras have a setting for reducing or increasing the exposure, either by reducing the aperture or reducing the power of the flash. You will usually need to refer to the camera manual to do this, or else just by searching the menus available. I have found that most cameras overexpose the subject when taking a close up with flash, especially for white and yellow flowers, and I put a setting that reduces the exposure by 1.5 or 2. You might want to increase exposure for dark tree-trunks taken a few meters away.
Hold the camera steady or brace it against something.
Most older and less expensive digital cameras do not have built-in image stabilization, and slight shaking blurs the foto, especially if the camera is held in one hand and the plant in the other.
Don't trust the automatic focus.
Auto-focus, even if it is accurate, usually focuses on lighter objects that may be behind the subject The viewfinder may be small, but is important in confirming that your subject is really correctly focused.
Vertical/Portrait orientation.
Since plants grow vertically, and leaves, flowers, and fruit are usually longer than broad, it usually fills the frame better to take vertical portraits of plants, just as you would a standing human. For animals, a horizontal/landscape orientation is more appropriate.
Size of image.
Set the camera to take images that are 1-4 megabytes in size, if that is an option. A 3 megapixel camera that only takes images smaller than a megabyte can be adequate, but only if everything else is good, i.e. in-focus, stable, and with good lighting conditions. A 5 or 6 megapixel camera is better, an 8 or 10 megapixel camera is overkill.
Take at least two or three fotos of each fertile plant, and at different scales.
For identification, it helps to see a plant at different scales: a more general foto that shows branches and the arrangement of the leaves and inflorescence on the branches, a foto of a single inflorescence with a couple of leaves, and a close-up of flowers or fruit that shows both the base and apex of the organ. It helps that new cameras mostly use zoom lenses. A close-up may not be necessary if a larger scale foto is very sharp and can be zoomed in on the computer. A hand or finger can be used as a measure of scale in the larger scale fotos, but is not needed in the close-ups.
Put leaves in same plane of focus as flowers or fruit.
Leaves are very important for identification, especially of species with no or only small flowers. Give them importance in your fotos, and make sure they are in focus along with the inflorescence. Most pictures of pretty flowers forget to include the leaves.
Emphasize underside of leaves, and include the tip and base of the blade, and junction with branch.
Leaf undersides have many more characters for identification than does the upper surface which is often covered by wax and epiphylls. However, if there are important glands/nectaries on the upper surface (i.e. Inga, many Euphorbs), it is important to also take fotos of these. To take a foto of long leaves and to get upper and lower surfaces of compound leaves, one can fold the leaf to show characters of both upper and lower surfaces and tip and base of the leaf, all in the same image.

During the Democratic convention yesterday, the overwhelming majority of Democratic delegates actually booed God, when it was up on their platform vote! The Mayor of Los Angeles called for votes three times on whether to include any reference to God on their platform, and each time the overwhelming majority voted against God.
I would suggest any undecided voters really think about this issue, when voting in November. The Democrats have no problem in asking for our money for all their increased taxes, although our U.S. currency states on it, "In God We Trust".
Do we really want a God less nation?

Starting out with 2 10 frame hives. Been getting info from a couple friends at work and a whole lot of reading. Can't wait! I do manage purple martins too. 3 gourd racks with 48 cavities. 13 years now and thriving. That could be a problem especially on drone congregation areas? I visit the purple martin forum once in awhile and I'm a member of the purple martin conservation assoc. I enjoy gardening. A huge veggie garden and many flower beds. I use to be in merchant marine as a engineer about 18 years. Got a shore side job in "96" and got married. I have 2 boys/2 girls ages 5 to 12! Also a lovely step daughter age 20. I made up for lost time. I really enjoy being outside at home. I'm working in a powerhouse now at a tire company. I look forward to gleaning all I can from this site. Back to work now.
