Reviews of this property
We stayed at Brigittes flat for 2 nights. Brigitte is a really nice host. Although the room is not very big it has all that is needed. The appartment has been clean and we did not had any issues during our stay there. Moreover it is really central located and easily accessible.
We really enjoyed our stay in Copenhagen also thanks to the accomodation. Next time we will come back to Copenhagen, we will surely stay with Brigitte again.
Thanks for everything, Brigitte!
Birgitte was a very good host; very friendly and helpful when we met, but not at all intrusive. The location was excellent, very central, and the room was very comfortable, with comfortable beds; but a shade on the small side for a double room. Overall, a very enjoyable stay in Copenhagen.
We stayed for 3 nights. Birgitte was very kind. It was a small and comfortable room and the bathroom was clean. The house and the neighbourhood were very cute and it's located in the center of the city. Probably the best part was the breakfast, I recommend to order breakfast there instead of in a coffeehouse. If I come back I'll repeat.
center of kopenhagen, building of 1825, our room in a romantic , quiet court. Brigitte a very nice person. for people who appretiate such a real luxury it is

You should not use this medication if you have ever had an allergic reaction to an immune globulin or if you have immune globulin A (IgA) deficiency with antibody to IgA.
To make sure you can safely use immune globulin, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- kidney disease;
- diabetes (especially if you use insulin);
- a history of stroke or blood clot;
- heart disease or high blood pressure;
- a condition called paraproteinemia; or

FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether immune globulin will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication.
It is not known if immune globulin passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Immune globulin is made from human plasma (part of the blood) which may contain viruses and other infectious agents. Donated plasma is tested and treated to reduce the risk of it containing infectious agents, but there is still a small possibility it could transmit disease. Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of using this medication.
How is immune globulin intravenous given?
Immune globulin intravenous is injected into a vein through an IV. You may be shown how to use an IV at home. Do not self-inject this medicine if you do not fully understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of used needles, IV tubing, and other items used to inject the medicine.
IVIG should not be injected into a muscle or under the skin.
Do not use the medication if it has changed colors or has particles in it. Call your doctor for a new prescription. Throw away any unused medicine that is left over after injecting your dose.
Use each disposable needle only one time. Throw away used needles in a puncture-proof container (ask your pharmacist where you can get one and how to dispose of it). Keep this container out of the reach of children and pets.
IVIG is usually given every 3 to 4 weeks. Your dosing schedule may be different. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results.
To be sure this medicine is helping your condition and is not causing harmful effects, your blood will need to be tested often. Your kidney function may also need to be tested. Visit your doctor regularly.
This medication can cause unusual results with certain blood glucose tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using immune globulin.

Gov. Rick Perry
UTSA hosts Gov. Rick Perry for July 31 ceremonial bill signings
By James M. Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(July 30, 2009)--UTSA President Ricardo Romo will welcome Gov. Rick Perry and state Sen. Leticia Van de Putte to the UTSA Main Campus for the ceremonial signing of two bills at 3 p.m., Friday, July 31 in the Main Building first-floor lobby. Authored by Van de Putte, Senate bills 93 and 297 will extend opportunities for access to higher education to the military community and families.
Senate Bill 93 relates to tuition and fee exemptions for certain military personnel and their dependents or spouses and permits those personnel to assign the exemption to a child. Senate Bill 297 relates to resident tuition rates and fees at public institutions of higher education for certain veterans and service members and their spouses and children.
UTSA students, military personnel and community business leaders will join Perry, Van de Putte and Romo at the signing.
UTSA is home to Air Force ROTC Detachment 842, The Roadrunners. In fall 2008, 226 cadets were enrolled in the unit. Approximately 21 cadets receive commissions annually with grade point averages near 3.29. There will be an estimated 33 program graduates in the 2009-2010 school year. Detachment 842 enhances Air Force diversity as the largest of six host detachments in the nation at designated Hispanic-serving institutions.
Through a cross-enrollment agreement with St. Mary's University, Army ROTC has been a part of UTSA since 1975. The UTSA Army ROTC Roadrunner Battalion was formally established as a host detachment in September 1983. During the 2008-2009 academic year, 144 cadets were enrolled in the program and 24 were commissioned as second lieutenants. This summer, a UTSA cadet was recognized for outstanding leadership and exceptional military skill during summer leadership training at Fort Lewis, Wash.
UTSA is one of the fastest growing higher education institutions in Texas and the second largest of nine academic universities and six health institutions in the University of Texas System. As a multicultural institution of access and excellence, UTSA aims to be a premier public research university providing access to educational excellence and preparing citizen leaders for the global environment.
UTSA serves more than 28,400 students in 64 bachelor's, 47 master's and 21 doctoral degree programs in the colleges of Architecture, Business, Education and Human Development, Engineering, Honors, Liberal and Fine Arts, Public Policy, Sciences and Graduate School. Founded in 1969, UTSA is an intellectual and creative resource center and a socioeconomic development catalyst for Texas and beyond.

Following a disaster, search and rescue professionals can offer vital assistance in recovery efforts. In order to nurture and cultivate a strong search and rescue community within Indiana, IDHS' Search and Rescue Training Section takes a comprehensive approach by offering training programs in K9 Search and Rescue, Search, Technical Rescue and Search Management.
A key component to IDHS' Search and Rescue program is the Mari Hulman George Search and Rescue Center (SAR Center) located at Camp Atterbury, Edinburgh, Indiana. The facility, originally constructed by volunteers in 1990, underwent renovations in 2001, and was eventually dedicated on August 29, 2001. The facility took on the name the Mari Hulman George Search and Rescue Center in recognition of Ms. Hulman George's support for providing care to animals affected by disasters.
The IDHS Mari Hulman George SAR Center not only offers numerous training courses but also has exceptional outdoor training facilities. In addition to a K-9 agility field and rubble piles, the facility offers venues to train in confined space rescue, vehicle search and hazardous materials response. The center, unique in the nation, is available for training by civilian volunteers as well as local, state, and federal emergency response and law enforcement agencies. Various military teams and teams from across the country also use the training facility and classrooms. Many of these same agencies have responded to major as well as minor disasters such as the Oklahoma City bombing, 9/11, missing person searches, and many other national, state, and local incidents.
The Center strives to meet the ever changing needs of Emergency Response agencies, by providing joint training and communicating through and the Search and Rescue Training Advisory Committee (SARTAC). The center has improved and will continue to advance Indiana's Emergency Response capabilities.

A Walmart Neighborhood Market store in Springfield, Mo., was ground zero Thursday as the retailer showcased efforts to make food healthier and more affordable to First Lady Michelle Obama.
Three years ago, the First Lady created the Let's Move healthy food initiative and the following year Walmart unveiled five broad commitments that aligned with her vision for ending childhood obesity within a generation.
As Walmart EVP of corporate affairs Leslie Dach noted during a media briefing that preceded the First Lady's store visit, Walmart recognized that shoppers want to eat healthier food, but don't always know or have the information available to make the right choices and oftentimes cost is a consideration, especially given lingering economic challenges, surging gas prices and the impact of payroll tax changes.
"for years, the conventional wisdom said that healthy products simply didn't sell - that the demand wasn't there, that higher profits were found elsewhere, so it just wasn't worth the investment," the First Lady said while standing at a podium in the store's produce section. "Thanks to Walmart and so many other great American businesses, we are proving the conventional wisdom wrong. Every day, with their success, these companies are showin us that what's good for kids and good for family budgets can also be good for business."
One of the goals Walmart set two years ago was to help customers save $1 billion on healthy foods and that goal has already been surpassed, according to SVP of sustainability Andrea Thomas. Walmart has helped shoppers save $2.3 billion on healthy food through lower prices with three years remaining on the company's five year timetable for accomplishing its five main objectives.
Another key initiative involved the creation of an icon that could be used to alert shoppers to healthier options. The "Great For You" icon was launched last year and today can be found on 1,300 items including fruits, vegetables and select private label products under the Great Value banner.
"The icon is really helpful for parents because it gives them a simple tool to make healthy choices," Thomas said.
She added that Walmart evaluated more than 4,000 of its private label products and found that 32% of them were worthy of the "Great For You," distinction. More are on the way as Walmart opens up usage of the icon to branded suppliers next week during an event in Orlando known internally as the Year Beginning Meeting.
Another of Walmart's commitment involved opening stores in areas known as food desserts where residents lack access to affordable fresh foods. The Neighborhood Market visited by the First Lady was one of 86 such stores Walmart has opened in food deserts during the past two years and plans call for a total of 300.
As a result of those 86 opening, Thomas said 264,000 Americans now have improved access to fresh, healthy and affordable food.
To make food healthier, Walmart also sought to reduce sugar and salt and eliminate trans-fats by reformulating products. The company took a targeted approach by category and managed to reformulate private label and branded items without altering the flavor profile in a way that would disrupt sales. In the bread category, Thomas said sodium was reduced by 13%.
"We are proud of our work, but we have more to do. Our suppliers have been very positive and cooperative with us," Thomas said.

Including 20 Class B felonies
PRINEVILLE, Ore. - A 57-year-old Prineville-area man arrested after a raid on his home earlier this week now faces more than 20 charges involving child pornography, Crook County sheriff's deputies said Thursday.
Sheriff's detectives executed a search warrant shortly after 11 a.m. Tuesday at a home at 14555 SE Gatling Way, south of Prineville, seeking evidence of sexually explicit material involving underage children, said Sgt. James Savage.
Samuel Cleve Sorg was not home at the time of the raid but was later contacted at his Prineville workplace and arrested.
Initially, he was held at the county jail on two counts of displaying obscene materials to a minor, with a total bail of $10,000.
But Savage said the district attorney's office revised the charges Wednesday, based on evidence seized at his home.
Sorg now faces 20 first-degree counts of encouraging child sex abuse, Class B felonies, and one count of endangering the welfare of a minor, a Class A misdemeanor.
Sorg's bail was increased to $50,000, Savage said.

I have suffered with chronic arthritis for the last 24 years. Several years ago, I was openning a trailer we own (we kept junk in,) and I fealt something tapping on my hand. It was dark and I couldn't tell what it was, but when it stung the fire out of me I figured it out...BEES! I had arthritis then, but I started moving away in a fast manner. My wife and son watched all this from the safety of our family van (they say I moved pretty quick for a crippled boy.) Anyways, I had been experiencing some real discomfort with one of my thumb joints and I noticed it ceased bothering me for several days.
Later, I learned how they use bee stings in the orient and I thought this was very interesting. Now, I have not decided to become a beekeeper for this reason exclusively, but I do plan to do some experiments in this area. By the way, I am not allergic to bee sting, thank goodness.
Do some of you have some testimonies to this affect? I would be interested in hearing yours or how you use the bees, bee stings, or bee products for arthritis.
Thanks and God bless you all,

Disbarred lawyer Barry Hart has been found guilty of unsatisfactory conduct and fined $10,000 for ignoring a client and failing to progress her case for four and a half years.
It is the latest embarrassment for Hart, who was struck off by the Law Society in September for overcharging clients in a separate misconduct case. He is also fighting moves by the ANZ bank to bankrupt him over a $30 million debt.
In the latest case, the Legal Complaints Review Office named and shamed Hart, a rare move in itself, saying he had compromised his client's chances of victory and caused her "considerable distress".
The woman, known only as RI, approached Hart in 2006 after an alleged biopsy botch-up by a gynaecologist resulted in her daughter having "unnecessary and invasive" surgery.
She paid Hart $15,000 to prepare a lawsuit against the doctor and claims she was told they had a good chance of winning the case.
As they tried to build their case, RI found evidence from three laboratories backing up her claims.
Hart agreed to look for further evidence but failed to do that, the review office said. Email correspondence between the two revealed increasing "frustration, annoyance, anxiety and bewilderment on the part of RI", the office said.
The Law Society's Standards Committee initially dismissed the complaint and Hart said he would appeal the latest decision.

text: I take care of a small orchard for my fee for having bees on the property. yesterday while looking at the trees had a strange insect? fly in and land on a limb. so I went over to look at it, its was 2 1/2- 3 inches tall, looked something like a bat except on top of its head appeared to be antenas with bulbs on them(eyes). didn't get to see it for very long as it and another suddenly took off and started flying around my head, I beat a hasty retreat. what I thought was even more interesting is when they flew the made a sound like clak,clack,clack very loud. now I've gone through all the insect books, bat pictures online, and even started looking at some of the new inteligence gathering devices that the government is claimed to be using and can't find anything that remotely looks like them(note I hadn't been drinking yet). I really hate to start looking in the fish books for something similar as there is not much water around this year. If anyone sees my picture posted on a government site please let me know.

Say Goodbye to Unwanted Preservatives and Packaging
Liquid soap comes in all kinds of fancy packaging. Usually they'll come in a pump dispenser that uses up to three different kinds of plastic plus a metal coil. That's seriously difficult to recycle. Although the bottle can be put in the recycling box, the pump will definitely end up in the landfill. On average a person goes through about 3.5 bottles of liquid soap to wash their hands in a year. You may think that's not a lot, but is the equivalent of a pint of crude oil. By using our soap, you can take it away with no packaging, and reduce items going to landfill!
What's more our soaps have a palm-free base. Palm oil was used as a vegetarian alternative to animal fat. However over recent years palm oil is in such high demand that it is now not sustainable to continue using. Palm oil plantations cause severe deforestation, problems for indigenous populations and the animals that live there.
Cosmetic companies are responsible for approximately 7% of the world's palm oil usage. In 2007, we felt that it was time for us to re-invent our vegetable soap base and make it palm oil-free. This would stop us from using approximately 250,000kg of palm oil a year. It was a very ambitious task and we've had to work hard to get the formula right, but now you can wash in peace knowing your soap base is palm oil free!

The two prime sponsors of the legislation — Senator Josh Miller, a liberal Cranston Democrat, and State Representative John Edwards, a moderate Tiverton Democrat — had lined up significant support in the General Assembly.
And a January poll commissioned by the Washington-based Marijuana Policy Project showed 65 percent of Rhode Islanders in favor of decriminalization and just 24 percent opposed.
But just a couple of months ago, it seemed unlikely that the measure — turning possession of an ounce or less of pot into a civil offense on par with a speeding ticket — would pass this legislative session (see "The quiet push to decriminalize marijuana possession in Rhode Island," 4.18.12).
Advocates were unsure that they could win over Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Michael McCaffrey, a relatively conservative Warwick Democrat who had jurisdiction over the Senate version of the bill.
And there was broader concern that lawmakers, up for re-election in the fall, would shy away from any measure with even a whiff of controversy — no matter how sweet.
But on June 5, the House and Senate voted to approve the legislation by wide margins. And while Governor Chafee had not tipped his hand as the Phoenix went to press, most observers expected him to sign the bill — or at least allow it to become law without his signature. "If I were gambling money," said Edwards, the House sponsor of the measure, "I wouldn't bet the farm on it, but I'd put down a sizable amount of money."
So how did a bill that seemed destined for delay win passage this year?
Supporters used some of the classic advocacy tools. They brought in David Lewis, founder of the Brown University Center for Alcohol & Addiction Studies, for a rally at the State House. They got dozens of McCaffrey's constituents to sign postcards in support of the legislation. And they lobbied Senate President M. Teresa Paiva Weed's office.
But Miller, the Senate sponsor of the bill, suggests strong support in the chamber itself — reflected in the final 28-6 vote — may have been the most important factor. That and a key compromise between advocates and Senator McCaffrey.
The sponsors, at McCaffrey's behest, added a "three strikes" amendment to the bill: a third violation, under the law, would result in a criminal misdemeanor. But all three violations must happen within an 18-month window — a proviso that, proponents hope, will effectively neuter the amendment.
It is an interesting approach, but not unique. "Decrim" states including Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, and North Carolina impose criminal penalties for multiple violations.
The central argument for making small-time possession a civil offense: a criminal conviction can have life-altering impacts on offenders' employment, education, and housing prospects.
Rhode Island is actually among the most lenient states when it comes to these so-called "collateral sanctions." Some of the impacts felt in other states — on the right to vote or serve on a jury, for instance — do not apply here.
But Rhode Island employers can ask about job applicants' criminal histories. And local offenders are subject to federal rules, which can mean eviction from public housing or, for college students, bans on federal grants and loans: one year for the first drug possession offense, two years for the second offense, and indefinitely for the third.

[2:1] My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. [2] He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. [3] And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. [4] Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, [5] but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: [6] whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. (1 John 2:1-6 ESV)
So far John has told us that the life of God was manifested in the incarnation of the Son - the one whom the apostles saw and heard and touched. It is this life-giving Son of God with whom John invites his readers to have fellowship (and thereby have fellowship also with the Father and the apostles themselves), and the message that this same Son of God and font of life proclaims through his apostles is the message that God is light. Fellowship with God through the life giving Son brings a life lived in the light, no longer hiding in the shadows, no longer needing to pretend at sinless perfection. Life in the light through fellowship with the Son (which is nothing less than participation in the very life of the Triune God) frees us up to confess our own sins with the assurance that the the Son will cleanse us with the fiery light of his presence.
But John has more to say. He is no encourager of sin. While it is true that to deny our sins is to deceive ourselves and to make God a liar, nevertheless, John has written in order that those who here his message may not sin. St. John's writings thrive on these tensions.
Here at the beginning of chapter 2 the apostle tells us that his goal in speaking about the light and life and fellowship and forgiveness that has appeared in the manifestation, the incarnation, of the Son of God has been to keep us from sin. But ever mindful of his goal of encouragement he tells us almost in the same breath that if we do sin not only are we forgiven, but we are forgiven because Jesus Christ the righteous, the bringer of life, is our advocate. He stands in heaven not to plead with a harsh and uncompromising Father, but as the bridge between fallen humanity and divinity, the divine-human Son of God who in his death for sins by which he became a propitiation (that is one who bears wrath in our stead) has brought our human lives into the fellowship of the Godhead. And as if that weren't enough, John then tells us that Jesus propitiatory death was no mere parochialism, it wasn't the death of one man for a few friends, or a tribal God for a tribal people, but it was the world shaking death of the Son of God which is able to accomplish redemption for the whole world.
And how will we know that we stand covered under such a propitiation? (For we know that while Christ died as a propitiation for the sins of the whole world, there are those in the world who will reject such benevolence and refuse the fellowship offered.) We will know it by our actions. Now at this point we may start to get a little queasy; at times calvinistic Christians can seem almost allergic to talk about good works, righteous actions, or commandment keeping. Unfortunately this makes us allergic to parts of the Bible. While it is absolutely true that we can never put God in our debt by anything we do or don't do, it is equally true that God cares deeply about our behavior and our behavior manifests the kind of relationship we have with God.
And so John says that we can know that we know this life giving Son, this God of light, this one who has become a propitiation for our sins by noting that we keep his commandments. This means no worm theology. This means it will not do to adopt the modern reformed asceticism that wallows in the mire of total depravity and radical grace, never recognizing that the life of one who has been put into the light is a life transformed and characterized by obedience, which is the harbinger of confidence that we do in fact know God. Knowing God manifests itself in a growing family resemblance. God made us in his image, and as we come to know him and to have fellowship with him that image, which has been marred by sin, begins to shine through brighter and brighter.
But John's language gets even starker. He says that just as one who denies sin and the need for forgiveness, the need for a propitiation, deceives himself and calls God a liar, so the one who claims to know God but does not keep his commandments is himself a liar. For to know God is to be in the light because God himself is light, and no one who is in the light can continue to walk in darkness. Again, as we've said before this is not a call to doubt our standing with God any time we disobey. John has covered that. We have an advocate. Rather, John's point is that my confidence in that propitiation, and my confidence that it covers my sins is to be found in my obedience to his command, which is the evidence that I am in the light.
Again, the images swirl back on themselves. If I have life it is because I have heard the proclamation that God is light and been brought into the light and if I am in the light I will not walk as one in the darkness but according to light, just as He who is light walked among us (v.6), and thus I will keep his commandments. It's a package deal: life, light, forgiveness and obedience. You can't have any without having all.

Legendary investor Vinod Khosla's VC arm—Khosla Ventures—revealed today that it led a Series C investment in hot enterprise cloud storage startup Nirvanix. Lots of coverage on Techcrunch, Venturebeat, SearchTechTarget, DatacenterKnowledge, and Gigaom. {editors note: SiliconANGLE has been covering Nirvanix (and other soon to be hot startups) and it's great to see the mainstream traction. Well deserved Nirvanix.}
The $25M round represents the first investment by Khosla in the cloud storage services sector and demonstrates further validation of Nirvanix's enterprise cloud technology—cloud tech already deployed at the likes of IBM, USC, Relativity Media, National Geographic, NBCUniversal, Cisco, VMware and other large multi-billion dollar companies around the globe.
I spoke to some folks about this around the valley and Khosla liked this deal because it reminds him of what Sun Microsystems would have looked like if they were a startup today. For the folks who don't know the tech history Sun Microsystems was basically built to be one big file system. That is what Nirvanix's cloud storage basically is.
Nirvanix has been on a tear lately. I spoke with the CEO in Las Vegas at NAB. They booked more revenue in Q1 of 2012 than nearly all of 2012, according to CEO Scott Genereux, whom we recently met with in Las Vegas at NAB. Armed with the deep coffers of Khosla behind them, Nirvanix is now better poised to accelerate its growth curve and take on the cloud service giants such as Amazon and Google—as they try to focus more on the enterprise space—and the cloud hardware vendors such as NetApp and EMC—who keep pushing boxes as the answer to cloud. While Box.net of the world get tons of attention they (Box) have very little storage in the cloud. I hear from sources that Box.net has less than 10 Petabytes in the cloud in one datacenter. Cloud storage customers alone should be by themselves in the >10 Petabyte range.
Box.net and Dropbox are still stuck in the sync 'n' share consumer cloud arena and have yet to crack the petabyte-scale customer barrier. Box and Dropbox have more in common with Apple's iCloud and Sony's forthcoming PlayMemories than anything Nirvanix is currently offering.
Nirvanix informs us that it is also planning to effectively double its cloud storage node count from 9 to 16 or more locations including Las Vegas, London, Singapore, China, Brazil, Russia, Dubai and others. Customer demand is forcing fast expansion, as the company recently opened up a second data center in Dallas.
Nirvanix is also planning to double the size of its engineering organization, opening a new Cloud Competency Center in Colorado, which will be home to an army of engineers working on next generation scalable cloud storage solutions to meet the big data challenge.
Big data needs big clouds and that's where Nirvanix really comes in—storing it all with an architecture built for scale. With Khosla's backing, Nirvanix is definitely a startup investors and storage heavy weights need to pay much closer attention to.
Nirvanix is storing the biggest of the biggest data sets out there and Khosla obviously sees this traction in the enterprise and will provide the fuel for the Nirvanix sales machine to really take off. Cloud storage is about reliability, scale, and performance and if Nirvanix can continue to crush the other upstarts and take share from Amazon and Google then Nirvanix will be either bought fast or hit the IPO route.

I just realized last night that I've never told you all how The Boyfriend and I came to be. It's actually a pretty simple story. It was a warm August evening. The law school's welcome barbeque had just ended so my new roommates and I headed over to the courtyard to grab a drink and meet some of our fellow first-year law students. As I approached the keg, I noticed a handsome, tanned, dark-haired guy in sunglasses handing out cups of beer. I had no idea who he was so I just smiled shyly, took my beer, and walked away.
School starts, I get to know my classmates and, eventually, some upperclassmen, too. Turns out the stud with the beer was just one year ahead of me and the vice-president of our law students association. Hot and ambitious? Just my type.
Fast forward to spring and it's election time on campus. The studly v-p who handed me the beer was running for President. I didn't really know much about the candidates so I went to a lunchtime event to hear their election speeches. And to get free lunch, but that's beside the point. Afterwards, the studly v-p stopped me in the hall to ask what I thought about the speeches and to discuss the election. As boring as that convo topic sounds, he still managed to make me laugh. Turns out, he's a pretty funny guy. I like funny.
We became Facebook friends - because that's what you do these days - and started chatting every now and then. In the evenings, during classes (scandalous!), just a few exchanges here and there. As the temperature rose and spring became summer, our chats became more frequent and a friendship developed. And I was totally convinced he saw me as nothing more than a friend but I didn't mind. He's one of those guys that you just want to have in your life, whatever the title may be. So if we were just going to be friends, then at least I knew I'd have a really awesome friend.
The following September (over a year after he first gave me that beer), he sent me a text on a Saturday afternoon asking if I wanted to come over and hang out that evening. Totally something a "just friend" does, right? I did not think for a second that this was a date. If I had known, I would've made a little more of an effort to look cute. I mean, it's not like I showed up in sweats but I certainly didn't pull out all the stops.
Turns out, it kinda was a date. We talked for hours, rented a movie, made homemade pesto - it was the absolute best way to spend a Saturday night. I guess I looked cute enough because we've been together ever since. And sometimes we still spend our Saturday nights with a rented movie and (gluten free) homemade pesto.
And, yes, he won that election.
And my heart.
(Awwwww...... what? too cheesy?)

Examining taxing districts part of city goals
The Pequot Lakes Economic Development Commission (EDC) is looking into how and why the city's two taxing districts are taxed at different ratios.
When the city and Sibley Township merged in 2002, the annexation agreement set an urban (city of Pequot Lakes) and rural (Sibley Township) tax differential.
Mark Jurchen, chair of the EDC, is reviewing what happened during the annexation to cause the different taxing districts, whether it can be changed and how much tax capacity comes from each district.
Jurchen planned to report to the EDC on this issue this month.
In addition to the taxing districts, city staff, boards, commissions and the council are beginning to work on other visioning goals the council set earlier this year. Following is a update on the progress toward the goals:
• Sibley Lake Park: Mayor Nancy Adams and Park Commission Chair Cathy Malecha developed a survey to determine what people would like to see at the park. The survey was distributed to area residents and is on the city's website at www.pequotlakes-mn.gov/.
The Park Commission will walk through the park at the end of this month to generate ideas for park improvements.
• Mayo Lake Park Preserve: The Park Commission is working with area residents and others who are familiar with the land. The commission's goal is to develop trails in the park this spring.
• Branding/marketing: Adams is working with the chamber to research the idea of placing banners throughout the city.
• County road turnbacks to city: Staff has begun preliminary steps to identify the roads that could be turned back to the city as part of the Highway 371 expansion project.
• City gateways: The Planning Commission has begun studying County Road 11 as it relates to becoming the gateway to the city in connection with the Highway 371 expansion project.

If you were injured in an accident that was someone else's fault, you may be able to pursue legal action against them to recover money for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, or any other damages that directly resulted from the accident. The only way to know for sure whether or not you have a case is to meet with a personal injury lawyer. Fortunately, most lawyers who specialize in personal injury cases offer free consultations. During this consultation, they will evaluate the evidence surrounding your accident to determine whether or not you have a case.
Scheduling an initial consultation with a few New Jersey injury lawyers is easier than you might think. First, you should take some time to research lawyers to find one who has a good reputation. Online reviews can be helpful in this process. You can also check with your state bar association. If you have worked with a lawyer that you trust for another unrelated issue in the past, you can also ask them if they can recommend anyone who specializes in personal injury law. Oftentimes, these types of professional recommendations can help you find a lawyer who is reliable and well respected by their peers.
Once you find a lawyer that you are interested in, give them a call to set up a consultation. Be sure to ask what you need to bring to your meeting. In most cases, you will need to bring any documentation or evidence surrounding your case. This can include everything from police reports to paperwork from your insurance company, photographs, videos, medical reports or other types of evidence. Anything that you think may be useful in helping you win your case should be included. The more information your lawyer has, the better job they can do of helping you mount a successful case.
During your meeting, your lawyer will go over the evidence and determine whether or not you actually have a case. They should be able to give you a good idea of your chances of getting a settlement or winning if your case goes to court based on the evidence that you have and the circumstances surrounding your accident.
Throughout your meeting, keep in mind that this is not only a chance for your lawyer to get to know you and your case. It is also a chance for you to get to know your lawyer. You should pay attention to how clearly they communicate and how interested they seem in helping you win your case. If the lawyer brushes you off, talks in a way that you don't understand, or doesn't seem interested in taking your case, you may need to look for a different lawyer instead. Don't feel discouraged. Simply pick up the phone and schedule another consultation. The next lawyer you speak to may see things differently.
Scheduling an initial consultation with a New Jersey personal injury lawyer is a relatively easy process. Just be sure to choose a lawyer who has an excellent reputation and who seems genuinely interested in helping you win your case.

This past Sunday, September 9, Rush Pikes Peak Soccer Club began its Fall Thunder Soccer Program. The Thunder Program is a 6 week soccer course for children of all ages with cognitive and physical disabilities. The program is free of charge and is open to anyone who may benefit from it!
This season started off with participants working through a variety of stretching and dribbling exercises, then some shooting and finally, a game! The match was a hard fought battle between local rivals the Orange Hawks and the Yellow Dragons. The final score could not be tallied as several times there were 2-3 soccer balls on the field, but many goals were scored and everyone had a great time! The session ended with a great run and goal from Mia Barone.

Bienvenido N. Santos 1911–
Filipino short story writer and novelist who lives in America and writes in English. See also Bienvenido N. Santos Twentieth-Century Literary Criticism.
As the leading fictional spokesman for his fellow expatriates, Santos sensitively captures the pain of their homelessness. Scent of Apples includes stories selected from a 25-year span of writing, and its American publication has provided wider access to his work.
Leonard Casper
The imagery of return … [is consistently present] in the fiction of Bienvenido Santos. Yet, how the sense of humaneness which is Santos' trademark elevates this return into ritual, without becoming sentimental, is in some ways best illustrated from his poetry…. Appropriately, the voice of Bienvenido Santos' fifty poems, entitled The Wounded Stag (1956), is elegiac, scraped raw by havoc—yet heroic in its acceptance of the need to be responsive, to be responsible. It is the sound of endurance, denying that it must drop into silence unheard. Consequently, there is dawning vigor in each dying phrase.
In his introduction to this collection, Manuel A. Viray identifies three specific periods in...
(The entire section is 1317 words.)
Leonard Casper
Thematically, the novels of Bienvenido Santos share a natural affinity with his three volumes of short stories. His concern, consistently, has been with man's imperfect attempts to satisfy an innermost need to belong to others—to be able to say of a family, a community, a culture, a kind, that these are his. However, although the anguish of incomplete attachment is common to characters in both Santos' novels, the narrative surfaces of these two works make a striking contrast. Villa Magdalena is densely textured, highly organized, and unpredictable. In style, The Volcano, is open, direct, unsophisticated; in structure, straight-forward except for conventional flashbacks and shifts in angle of vision....
(The entire section is 1271 words.)
Rustica C. Carpio
[Brother, My Brother] is a collection of 23 stories, depicting the life of the Filipinos at home…. [In his introduction] Leonard Casper calls this volume "a painful journey" to man's heritage….
"Early Harvest" and "The Naked Eye" which both use the war for background are less interesting than the others. "Early Harvest" is told from the first-person narrator point of view. Selmo is the narrator, the eye-witness who gives the reader a close-up of incidents…. Selmo here recaptures the Christmas of 1941 when the Japanese come to [his] barrio….
["Early Harvest"] is too obviously contrived and the constant shifting of tone impedes its flow. Although the story uses the...

Doreen G. Fernandez
When war broke out, the U.S. Office of Education asked [Bienvenido Santos] to tour America and lecture about the Philippines and Filipinos. This he did, meeting along the way fellow countrymen surviving in distant places … and many Americans who called him and his compatriots "you lovely people," thus causing him to change the title of the book [to You Lovely People] from the originally planned "The Hurt Men."
For the men and women to whom Bienvenido Santos gave a voice … [in these short stories] are indeed hurt. Santos uses his own voice and that of Ambo … to tell of these hurts. There is the hurt of spending a cold Christmas alone in a school dorm, without the warm Filipino...
(The entire section is 300 words.)
Leonard Casper
The difficulty of reconciling the Filipino dream of solidarity with the American dream of individualism, of unity risking and enriched by diversity, is implied in the mestizo form of You Lovely People. Many of its episodes are self-contained; others, with Ben at the circumference or Ambo (Pablo) at their center, provide a kind of continuity compatible with change…. Santos deliberately keeps center and circumference subservient to the circle of Pinoy compatriots—such is the book's socioesthetic. Both Ambo and Ben exist in that purest of compassions: shared suffering, as concelebrated offering.
In all of Santos' fiction, this compulsion to belong consistently raised images of departure and...
(The entire section is 892 words.)
Paul B. Phelps
Most of Santos' fiction examines the problems of progress and nationalism in the Philippines since 1945, but in this collection ["Scent of Apples"] he deals with those problems indirectly, through the stories of Filipinos who find themselves stranded in the United States. These stories form a loose suite, alternating between two narrators in order to portray two different generations of exiles. Ben, the first narrator, is an autobiographical figure, and the group of "hurt men" in his circle of poker-playing college friends—sons of landowners and professionals—who have been caught in wartime Washington….
These privileged young Filipinos remain self-absorbed until Ambo, an old gambler, introduces...
(The entire section is 385 words.)
Maxine Hong Kingston
The stories [in "Scent of Apples"] have their settings in San Francisco, New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Kalamazoo and many other cities of the Midwest—places where Filipino men, who have left families and communities behind, make precarious American lives. To protect themselves against brutality, they befriend one another and try not to forget Filipino manners, establishing a civility in skid row…. Mr. Santos's writing is very delicate, very fine, gently rendering "the hurt men," or "the boys," as they jauntily call one another….
The later stories are about pairs of friends who watch over one another. Western literature ought to have more such writing in praise of friendship, a strong...

It would be pretty difficult to sell lingerie without using sex.

Maybe this is all a little too obvious, but sex sells, among other things, lingerie. And it employs some pretty interesting marketing tactics to do so.
As a for instance: Who is Victoria's Secret targeting with the on-screen Gatsbian seduction? Their wares are most notably made for the fairer sex (though we won't rule out some of the more curious members of the cruder one), yet the ads themselves seem off the demographic mark. With their Mansionesque sexual allure, Victoria's Secret seems to be either cruelly playing into an insecurity or else playing up the unrealistic expectations of a few stitches of fabric. But perhaps it's neither.
While it is indeed true that ours, a man's physique, is not exactly tailored for teddies, it is nevertheless our sensibilities (and wallets) that Victoria's Secret is trying to tap.
A recent survey polling 2000 men and women, ages 18 to 44, found that 56 percent of men simply know not what they do, that they would be more inclined to buy seedy sex store lingerie that comes with a garter belt and rash warning than make a more commonsense purchase, like, say, one from Victoria's Secret. Meanwhile, 38 percent of women polled said a set in the latest styles, colors and prints would probably get their motor running.
And so perhaps Victoria's Secret is not so much perpetuating a negative body image as providing a public service for every woman married to an overimaginative man: "Men, if you're gonna buy your woman lingerie, come buy it here:"

Homeless Camps In Colorado Springs
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Homeless camps lined Fountain Creek some three years ago in Colorado Springs. Since then the city enacted a no camping ordinance, so homeless camps are now prohibited on city land without a permit.
The homeless camps are less visible, but have not gone away. Only this week have signs of them become more visible near downtown Colorado Springs. KRDO NewsChannel13 talked to one homeless man Monday afternoon. He wanted to remain anonymous, but said he has lived under a bridge at I-25 and Cimarron for months.
About six or seven other people call the bottom of the bridge home, but the Colorado Springs Police's Homeless Outreach Team came to the camp on Friday and warned everyone they had to move out or face possible jail time.
It is illegal to have homeless camps in Colorado Springs, but it is not stopping those in need, especially because bridges provide a good respite from the winter weather.
"Under the bridge is a wind block. The cars driving on it keep it warm, so it is pretty warm under there," said the homeless camper.
For now, the camper said he plans to find a different place to camp until he is able to return to a shelter in January. He said he found a place where he can set up a tent and propane tank, so he will be warm for the new year.


text: When involved in an accident, larger vehicles usually cause more damage to other vehicles and the passengers in them than standard-sized cars do. A few auto insurance carriers are beginning to recognize this fact of highway life and have started to boost liability premiums on SUVs and pickup trucks to reflect the higher risk. The flipside: If you don't drive an SUV or pickup and your auto insurance carrier doesn't charge owners of bigger vehicles higher premiums, you may be overpaying for your liability coverage. Among the auto insurers that recognize that smaller vehicles pose less liability risk are Geico (www.geico.com), Allstate (www.allstate.com), and Progressive (www.progressive.com).

Mitchell Park Library
Original post made by AnnoyedParent, Palo Verde, on Jul 26, 2006
So, we headed to the library on Tuesday - around 4:00pm ... only to find the library closed with the same note about the building being too hot! Now - this was annoying not only to my family, but to the three other families who had come there with their children.
I respect the fact that the library staff is concerned about the health hazard due to heat - but can't the city put in an air-conditioning unit?? I am not saying get the state of the art fancy units - central air the whole building - but can't the city put in the little window type units sporadically through out the building to keep the temperature at a tolerable level?
Who is responsible for this type of work? Agreed Palo Alto was never so hot in the past, Palo Alto gets a few of these hot days during the summer - but for those who have noticed, the number of hot days is on a rise and the city needs to do something!

My two year old and I went to the Mountain View library off of Castro after our second visit to a closed Mitchell Park Library.
(A nice person we encountered outside the library told us how to get there.)
It was very nice, with underground parking and was well set up for children. The man at the information booth told us that Palo Alto residents can get library cards there.

I also went to the library that day, and saw the sign.
Funny thing was, when I put my books through the "return" slot, the air felt COLD to my hand!
This lead me to conclude that the library staff were having problems with more than mere heat that day? Like overuse of electrical system was causing overheating circuits and therefore problems with the computers and means of checking out books.
In any case, as a woman with a cane remarked after putting her books in the slot "Gee, it would have been nice if they had told us this with a sign down at the parking lot..."
And I think they should have explained the situation to patrons in more detail.

Just a thought... I've been to the Main library branch on Newell many times over the past 6 months and it can get pretty hot. One fact many people haven't mentioned (in general, not specific to the library comment) is that this is a 50-100 year record heat-wave in terms of both duration and intensity. I have two ideas why they might have closed the library.
1. Perhaps it was done to conserve electricity? Many government buildings around the state voluntarily closed or severely reduced energy consumption over this heat wave. Some larger buildings also agree to pay more for energy during peak load times, so this may have also been done to cut costs. My workplace for example has turned up the temperature on the AC, turned off all of the lights, and closed all shades - and this is in a high-rise place of business.
2. Perhaps the AC could reasonably cool a closed library, with all of the lights off, doors closed 100% of the time, and computers off. However, computers, lights, people, and doors opening can severaly increase the heat in a structure. It is very possible that the building was cooler than the outside and thus felt cool, but at normal usage would have been too hot for safe use. Two co-workers have told me that their normally adequate AC just didn't cut it over the weekend.
I do support more adequate environmental controls at all libraries - but this should be accomplished in an energy and cost efficient manner. Putting in temporary window units would be fairly inefficient, consume costly amounts of energy, and not solve any long term issues. High R-value insulation along with efficient central air conditioning are probably the best way to go - but I'd leave that to the pro-s to figure out.

on Jul 26, 2006 at 3:08 pm
the libraries closed because the interior temperatures reached over 90 degrees-- unsafe! don't care if your hand in the slot felt cold, that was some kind of weird quirk. don't assume that librarians are slacking off-- they're hard-working and underpaid.
yes of course it would be nice to have air conditioned libraries-- considering that the city council won't fund the current status of the libraries, what makes you think they would spring even a dime to upgrade the facilities.
Aim your complaint at the city council, not at the underfunded library system.
a resident of Adobe-Meadow
on Jul 26, 2006 at 4:51 pm
The biggest irony in all of this is that Mt View with just one library is able to concentrate all its resource to build a modern facility that is immune to outside weather, while Palo Alto, a city boasting several libraries, does not have enough resources to upgrade the facilities for all-weather operation.
It's high time Palo Altans seriously debate the issue of how best to run the library system here. At issue is the limited resourse available to the city that are not sufficient to support so many libraries.
The downtown and children's libraries should be axed (I think Terman branch has already been axed but should be also if not) and the money saved should be used to fortify the Main and Mitchell libraries.
a resident of University South
on Jul 26, 2006 at 9:28 pm
Hi Ray,
Best I can tell, Palo Altans just spent the better part of the past two years debating the issue and came to a firm conclusion. A majority of Palo Altans prefer having multiple walking distance libraries in our communities rather than a single main library.
I'd personally far rather have a library a short walk away that is wonderfully useful for ~ 360 days of the year than a single library available an extra couple of days that is outside of walking distance.
You mention that a single library is a best solution, but at the same time you say that we should keep two libraries. I just looked up your neighborhood and surprise surprise! All of Adobe-Meadows is within about 6 blocks of the Mitchell *BRANCH* library.
I'm pretty sick of all these people pretending we just didn't have a survey, city council election, and drive the library director out. The full set of Palo Alto communities has spoken and a strong majority wants to keep our branch system. Lucky you Ray, you live near one of the two largest *branches* with the best hours and collection.
Plain and simple, it's an obvious case of geographic discrimination. Sure - you want a *BRANCH* library in your neighborhood, but you want to close down the smaller, cheaper, open fewer hours, smaller collection branches in two other neighborhoods. Do you have any suggestions other than a massive consolidation, that your community has clearly opposed? Any suggestions at all other than closing every branch other than the two you use most?

Noah, dear, I do not believe I said anywhere about wanting a single library. I was using Mt View's example in saying that when you have a limited resource, less can work better than more.
I don't know of any other city of Palo Alto's size with so many library branches. Palo Altans have gotten too spoiled over the years and as a result have gotten selfish as well. They don't want to give up anything even though budget shortfalls are staring right at them.
In my previous post, I suggested concentrating all avilable resources to the Main and Mitchell Park libraries. This means a library for the North and one for the South. If you can't walk to your "neighborhood" library, you can bike or you can walk to a Crosstown or Embarcadero Shuttle stop and ride free to either branch.
Let's get real. The money saved from downtown and children's library closures should help upgrade the remaining two to a comfortable level, allowing them to stay open even on the hottest days.

I heard that they closed at 2:15 pm that Friday, and that it was over 90 degrees inside. (I think it got to over 100 degrees outside, so it was probably about the same inside later that afternoon.)
I was in there when it was "only" 85 degrees, and it was horribly stuffy. I got my books and got out fast.

It's clear that we can't afford to maintain all the small libraries in this town. How about moving the art center to Mitchel Park and, using that whole complex on Arastradero/Newell, concentrate our financial resources to build a state of the art library at that site. Forget about inadequate neighborhood libraries--our town is small enough that having one great library, WITH AIR CONDITIONING, won't be an inconvenience.It seems like some people in this town believe that their needs are more important than the greater good--"I want a library in my own neighborhood" "I want the school district to provide MY child with Mandarin instruction, full time, from kindergarten through high school" The rest of us can just suck it up and make do with the leftovers! I'm sick of it!

I have been working and volunteering at the Mithcell Park Library for a few years now and I have never before experienced the temperatures from last week. We had every single electric fan running and all the working windows open and still there was a ten degree difference from the outside. These are the conditions that Palo Altans and staff members must deal with because of insufficient funds. We're having five branches with only enough funding for two and a half. As a community with such high quality schools and comfortable standards of living, it's an embarassment to have our libraries in this kind of state.

News: Tagged as Comp Fonts
Web FontFont updates
Comp Fonts now included in Web FontFonts
Once again FontFont is leading the charge in webfont technology and making the lives of designers much easier! It's now even simpler to integrate great typefaces like FF Meta Web, FF DIN Web, or the new FF Sero Web in all phases of website creation. We know that during the design process it may be necessary to create page layouts of the proposed design using applications that don't support WOFF/EOT fonts (e.g. Adobe Photoshop or InDesign). Therefore, Web FontFont archives now contain corresponding TrueType-flavored OpenType fonts for the offline design phase. As reflected in the amended EULA, these Comp fonts may only be used for this specific purpose.
1.300+ Web FontFonts are already available. Browse them here.
Comp fonts can be used with desktop publishing apps like Adobe Photoshop
Safari 5.1 Gets Support for WOFF
Not only can we celebrate the launch of our Comp fonts, but we can also cheer the current release of WOFF-supporting Safari 5.1. Safari is the latest major browser, joining Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Opera to support the common webfont format WOFF, giving Web FontFonts a browser compatibility rate of more than 95% (according to NetMarketShare), without relying on any third party service!
Improved Web FontFonts
Additionally, Web FontFonts have been improved to ensure that you end up with a smaller file size (up tp 60%), additional optimization for new versions of Microsoft Windows and improved vertical metrics for consistent baseline positions in all browsers. Most Web FontFont files even allow you to choose between proportional oldstyle figures and tabular lining figures using Subsetter. If you've already purchased Web FontFonts and would like to enjoy these enhancements, then please login to your account and download the upgraded files at no additional cost. If you haven't purchased any of our webfonts yet, just try one of the fonts which are available for free for a limited time from our Goodies page.permalink

These are the coolest bracelets! The Honk Quack Bang Fowl Life Survival Bracelet is made with a distressed duck band woven right into it. This fun Survival Bracelet features three colors of 550 para cord. It's also reversible, so it is like having two bracelets in one. The colors along with the inner and outer stripe, define this bracelet and is part of the Fowl Life Signature Series. Perfect for men or women.They're stylish, lightweight and feature a comfortable quick clasp closure. Made in USA.
The Fowl Life Signature Series is a product line of Honk Quack Bang and is inspired by Chad Belding of the Fowl Life and Team Maniac. The folks at Honk Quack Bang met Chad last year at the Game Fair in Minnesota. They had just started making their Para cord jewelry with the duck and goose bands. Chad bought the first banded necklace they ever made. A couple of months later, they received an email from Chad. He wanted to let HQB know all the inquiries he was getting about the necklace and was sending folks their way. Chad wears the necklace on his show, The Fowl Life with Chad Belding, airing on the Sportsman's Channel.
Team Maniac are madmen - dedicated waterfowl hunters, traveling in constant pursuit of ducks and geese. It is their passion and way of life. This inspired HQB to make a product line that is stylish, tough and represents the waterfowl hunter's passion.
Please read the following information about sizing and measuring before you place your order for any Honk Quack Bang items as they are made to order so they will fit properly. It is recommended that you measure your wrist and/or neck before ordering so your bracelet or necklace will fit properly.
TO MEASURE: You will need a strip of paper or a piece of string, pen or pencil, and a tape measure or ruler. Place one end of the paper or string around your wrist or neck and wrap it around where you will be wearing your bracelet or necklace Make sure it feels comfortable; you should be able to rotate the string or paper. (Note: when measuring your neck, it is recommended you use the string for measuring.)
Mark a line on the paper or string where the ends meet. Take the paper or string and lay it flat on a table, and measure from the end of the paper or string to your mark. Now you have your size. Do Not add in any extra length, this is taken into consideration when your bracelet or necklace is made. The bracelet will be made longer than your actual size because of the thickness of the material. If you add length to your bracelet or necklace, it will more than likely be too large. The average wrist size of a man is 7-8 inches and 6-7 inches for a woman. The average neck size of a man is 18-20 inches and 16 inches for a woman.
When you order, select your size from the size choices above. If you are in between sizes, pick the next 1/2 size larger.

OUTLAW GOLF will be available for Xbox in Spring 2002.
With a hardcore physics engine and a take-no-prisoners attitude, OUTLAW GOLF
takes the sport to the extreme. Outrageous courses include the
far-from-the-professional-circuit Newark Municipal Course, where you can
enjoy the ear-splitting noise and vibrations from planes taking off at
Newark Airport; a very sandy course somewhere in the Nevada desert; and a
course built (with much forethought) on a swamp, where caddies are in mortal
danger from attacking alligators.
The golfers in OUTLAW GOLF are all rejects from the classier private clubs.
There's Doc Digler, with his stripper girlfriends and more malpractice suits
than you can shake a club at - talk about hacking and slicing...and we mean
in the operating room; Killer Miller, a convicted murderer who was on Death
Row until he got released on a technicality; and a host of other social
outcasts from an "Eminem" wannabe to a pimp, who happens to have excellent
OUTLAW GOLF also includes a driving range, which can only be described as
somewhere between a carnival funhouse and a roadside freakshow. Here,
players can compete in skill building competitions like golf darts -- where
precision is everything -- and automobile windshield smashing -- where the
more windows you destroy, the higher your score.
In OUTLAW GOLF, you'll also find our scientifically perfected Composure
Response System (CRS). The better you play, the smoother the controls
become; but the worse you play, the harder the controls get -- just like in
real life, the worse you play, the harder it is to regain your composure and
focus. But don't worry because the CRS helps you regain your composure -- by
beating up your caddy! Yes, each golfer comes complete with his or her caddy
full of advice and with the ability to withstand a terrible punishment. Of
course, if you push that delicate balance, your caddy will leave and you'll
be on your own. Till then, take it out on your caddy and get back in
control. In OUTLAW GOLF your daddy's pastime becomes a full contact sport.

Before you complete your Measure C Ballot
Original post made by Community courtesy, another community, on Apr 3, 2009
**Received from SRVUSD today**
SRVUSD appreciates Iron Horse neighbors willingness to communicate with our district management about Measure C concerns.
Just so you know, there is a meeting scheduled for April 16, 7:30 PM at Stone Valley Middle School. This is a factual presentation regarding the current and future budget outlook for our school district, as well as the mail-only parcel tax (Measure C) for which registered voters will receive their mail-in ballots next week. Our superintendent and a member of our school board will be there to present to the Alamo community and answer questions.
SRVUSD encourages neighborhoods to let as many people as possible know about the meeting and encourage them to attend and ask questions.
Thanks again for your support!

I keep having my comments erased. I'm sorry my opinions are too real for people to take. Your censorship won't stop me. I went to los cerros and monte vista. I'm 27 and I think 75% of the teachers were total losers. I remember my math teacher used to flirt with the 8th grade girls and hide behind the projector screen like a 4 year old. We don't need more money. We need less teachers. When my parents went to school, there were fifty to ninety kids per class, and they learned more. Why? Because everyone shut up and listened. We need discipline in the class. One way to break down discipline is to amp the kids up on sugar. We should not have candy and sodas sold in schools. The teachers unions fought getting rid of jumk food in schools because they want to tax it to give the money "to the schools," ie: to them. They don't give a damn about the kids. Their demands for smaller class sizes is because that means we have to hire more teachers. By the way, we already have plenty of money being sucked from our property taxes to go to our schools. The problem is, we don't spend it on our kids. We send it to Oakland and Richmond, on bilingual education for illegal immigrants and group home kids who murder our children (Rylan Fuchs.) No doubt, 90% of the extra money that they wish to take from us through prop C will within a few years be allotted to other schools.

With the U15, U16, and U17 Nike Girls teams winning their titles earlier this spring the Rush took Delaware by storm by adding 8 more State Cup Championships to it's resume on June 2nd. The U12 Boys Nike, U12 Girls Nike, U13 Boys Nike, U13 Girls Nike, U14 Boys Nike, U14 Girls Nike, U17 Boys Nike and the U18 Boys Nike (at right) all were victorious in their State Cup Final.
Rush will have an opportunity to add to this list as the U15 Boys Nike team will play it's final on June 6th. 11 (and maybe 12) is nearly a record, but not quite as the Colorado Rush won 13 titles in 2000 in the U12-U19 ages. 11 is the most Cup winners from a Rush club in the last decade!
Delaware Rush will send an unprecedented number of teams to the Region 1 Championships in Rhode Island June 27th - July 2nd. With 11 teams and a possible 12th representing Delaware at Regionals, Rush will be well represented in Rhode Island. This dominance as a club shows the hard work of all players, staff and parents alike. We are very proud of this accomplishment and look forward to continued success at the regional level!
The impressive haul from Delaware brings the season total of Rush State Champs to 37 winners and an additional 8 teams qualifying for regional play as wild card teams.
See all of Delaware's winners here.
