Rob and Kristin will be married and I think it's wonderful!
Kristin,although typically acting her age is dating Rob, a more mature guy. I wish them both the best and believe that BOTH understand that love has many definitions but it is unique to the couple, and I sense that 'true love' exists.
Rob,lighten up;you're getting older and from one Englishman to another;it's time to 'take care of business'. Best of luck and God Bless…….

Taylor,you certainly are beautiful,but wake me up when you grow up. I know you're only 23 but god help me,although I truly like your music; my opinion of your behavior with boyfriends,and yes,it is through the 'never to be trusted media', which is only their opinion,which is frequently wrong.
A little advice,concentrate on your talent, and wait until at least 25,before you decide you know what love is!

text: I really hope we get this kid, I'm convinced that he is the sleeper pick this year. Potential defensive rookie of the year material. If it was up to me, I'd take him at 19 or trade up for him in the second. Guy has a nose for the ball, amazing instincts, fluid motion on his back pedal and turning his hips to run with the receiver. Hes nasty at stripping the ball. If he is still there in the second at 19 which I highly doubt, they better snatch him up. In the second he would def be worth trading up for. the niners and pats are already drooling over the kid. I would be so happy if he ended up a giant. Whose with me?

The blog, georgejessielove.wordpress.com, grew out of an e‑mail list that Ross, who lives in Brookline, launched to keep friends and family updated on the big changes going on in her household (which includes her husband, Rich, and a teenage son named Harrison). She waffled about "going public," but when Hotmail shut her down as a suspected spammer, her decision was practically made for her. "I had so many things left to say," she recalls.
Ross's posts are brutally honest, funny, and occasionally tear-jerking. A single entry veers from amusing — Ross insists one morning that Jessie wear a shirt long enough that her penis wouldn't be obvious in leggings — to moving, when Jessie reminds her mom, at the end of that day, "It's not what the body parts are, it is the soul inside. I am a girl."
In this edited interview, we talk to Ross about what sounds like an extremely positive, if complicated, journey so far — one that could provide a roadmap to parents, school boards, and policy makers who will continue to find themselves grappling with how to deal with, and support, young transgender kids.
WERE THERE ANY REACTIONS THAT YOU WERE NERVOUS ABOUT AS YOU STARTED TO OPEN UP WITH JESSIE'S STORY? I was not really worried about anyone's reaction other than the people that I don't know personally, but by association. Mostly, that is, the school parents. Not my friends, but the people who I know to say hello to in the hall, or our kids have been in class together, or I just recognize from the neighborhood. In fact, when the school became involved they agreed and said that it wasn't the kids that they were worried about; rather, it was the parents.
AND HOW DID THE SITUATION UNFOLD? When the announcement was made to the fourth-grade classes, I asked the principal to call me and let me know the general reaction. Most of these kids have been together at school for five years already and knew all about who Jessie was. . . . None of them was knocked over by the news. With our collaboration, the principal crafted a letter to the parents of the fourth-grade [students]. It was very matter-of-fact and made sure to remind everyone of the anti-bullying laws in Massachusetts. I requested to hear about reaction to that as well. Nothing but positive. In fact, one parent even sent a handwritten note to the principal commending her for how it was handled. I think that once the initial surprise wears off, most people have just taken it in and moved on. I can honestly say, with great amazement, that the transition has been seamless. Not a single incident. I give kudos to the school district for creating an environment that allows such a dramatic change to happen so gracefully.

A girl is found murdered in this latest effort from Korean director Bong Joon-ho, and the police, at a loss, pin the blame on Do-joon (Bin Won), a childlike local with not much going on upstairs, alternately brutalizing and bamboozling him into a confession. But they don't count on the power of maternal love.
Do-joon's mother (Kim Hye-ja) knows her boy is innocent, and she sets out on an investigation of her own. In the course of her crusade, she reveals the rottenness behind the façade of propriety, and she demonstrates that the primal bonds of blood are far more resilient, and ruthless, than the protocols of the powers that be.
In Mother, Bong synthesizes not only a host of generic conventions but also the elements unique to Bong himself: mentally disabled scapegoats, victimized women, bureaucratic stupidity, suspicious vagabonds, umbrellas. It's the finest work yet by a filmmaker who knows how to turn the toxins poisoning our lives into a figment of savage power and delight.

using SSL Tunnel to bypass IDS and firewalls?
I got a scenario,I need to do like this
I have a access to a machine in a target network,I need to maintain the access to the target host with out getting suspected by the remote firewall administrators of the target network,So at first 2 things comes to my mind ssh and ssl tunnels,but when the admins see an out-bound ssh connection,they will get more doubts,So decided to use a ssl tunnel,
1) is there any tools available out there that can provide a tunneled ssl connection between me and that target?
2)Also i am sure if they will have some stateful firewalls ,so if they see an huge amount of out-bound traffic to a specific ip,they will get more suspicious,So how can i manage this?
3)Also they may have IDS in place,mostly a signature based 1,they may have a signature detection for ssl tunnel,how we can use our "methods" to deviate from the IDS signature,I am looking forward to modify or do some changes in the attack pattern,which needs to confuses the IDS and need to bypass it's patterns?
how can i do this?
4)what are some of the other attacks i can use against a state-full firewall?
Looking for some help?...

Green Building requirements for remodel homes
Original post made by Aj, Duveneck/St. Francis, on May 8, 2013
We were recently planning on remodeling our house, which includes significant changes to existing house. Along with all the requirements and rules that the city provides, the green building requirements are the most vague. Do we need to do it? What are the ways we can avoid additional requirements? Does permit approval depend on getting these requirements fixed?
Information on this important topic is not clear.
Anybody can help?
Thanks for your help!

New codes, green or not green are specific to the changes you want to make. A new bathroom may have half a dozen new codes depending not he state of your old one.
Only way to avoid complying to a new code is to not make a change at all. Some codes make sense, and you may want to change with the new code.
Make a list of what you want to change, take it to the PA development office and ask them.

Thanks "depends", but thats a fairly obvious answer.
I am just wondering about the green building requirements, since it is relatively new. We have an architect to help out with everything else.
The city has one person dedicated to the green building initiative and she no longer is available at the development center.
What are other people's experiences with this?

We just remodeled our kitchen. Apparently , the previous homeowner did the previous remodel off-permit, and what a mess! Without inspectors, a lot os safety violations were committed, such as not updating the wiring, which could have burned down the house! The outside walls were not insulated, although the previous owners insisted they were, and there were holes in the drywall. All of this had to be corrected, which pushed the project way over budget and schedule.
When the project was completed, and the city inspector came out, he insisted on inspecting the entire two-story house as well as the kitchen. This included interrupting my DIL nursing her newborn son! It also included the inspector telling us that our one-year-old smoke detectors were out of date, our new carbon monoxide detector was out of date, and that they had to be replaced that same day with combination smoke/carbon monoxide detectors that were ionized and had lights ($$$). Otherwise, the kitchen remodel would not be approved!
The remodeler was ordered by the inspector to go out and buy the new detectors and install them before the inspector was to return two hours later, so the remodeler had to do this on his lunch and we had to pay for his time. Then, the inspector did not show up in two hours, but four.
I complained to the city, the inspector was reprimanded, but I am out money for new detectors I did not need, plus the cost of the remodeler's time, and the city does not wish to reimburse me. How about the inspector reimbursing me?
To complicate matters, the stress of this caused a relapse of a chronic condition that had been worsening at the time, and I now have a huge hospital bill for five days of infusions of a very expensive medication! I would certainly love to be reimbursed for what the insurance does not pay, and for the increase in my premium this will cause!!!

Just did it - we recently remodeled a bathroom and as part of the process, we were required to upgrade all of our smoke/CO2 detectors too.

Same here. We just did a remodel and had to upgrade all our smoke detectors as part of the remodel. Our contractor knew about it. Your architect and and contractors should have known and told you. They are as responsible for this mishap as the city is.

Your contractor should have known about the requirement. It is not new and every remodel or new house is required to be up to date.
As far as green building goes - a lot of their stuff is a wish list, not necessarily required. What is definitely required are the demolition disposal specifications. You and/ or your contractor need to make sure to save every receipt and documentation or you'll get fined big time.

I guess the things that are upsetting me most are that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the detectors we had, they were one year old. Even the inspector's supervisor said that the inspector was wrong to insist in replacement. The dates the detectors were made we're on the backs of them, but he did not look at them.
Also, the inspector insisted that I climb the stairs not once, but twice, in spite of the fact that I have MS and am not supposed to do so. I had to literally pull myself up the stairs by the bannister! This exhausted me for the rest of the day. The next day I had to be hospitalized and infused for five days with a very expensive medication to put the disease back on remission. Have a 30% copay for this stuff, and it runs about &25,000 per liter per day. I had 1.2 liters per day! This on top of the room rate, intensive monitoring as the medication has serious side effects, etc. $$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!
Can you understand my frustration? It did not have to happen this way, the inspector made it unnecessarily expensive and stressful. To say nothing of the embarrassment my nursing DIL experienced! The guy was given an official reprimand, but that seems insufficient to me. I need kor compensation than that!

A grant of EPA funds was made available by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources in October 1990 to selected southwest Missouri poultry producers representing each of the five major poultry processing companies. The purpose of the grant is to demonstrate the feasibility of composting dead birds in an environmentally sound manner. The grant is administered by Southwest Missouri Resource Conservation and Development, Inc., with technical assistance provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and educational activities provided by MU Extension.
Bill Ball, of Carl Junction, Mo., representing ConAgra, agreed to participate in the demonstration project. Ball's concerns about future regulations pertaining to dead bird disposal, potential complaints from neighbors and environmental considerations were factors in his decision to participate in the project. This guide describes the composting project relating to Ball's poultry operation.
The Ball tom turkey operation consists of four buildings in which 6.5 flocks per year are grown to a market weight of 30 pounds. Table 1 outlines the characteristics of each building. Average mortality rate in these facilities is about 12 percent, with peak rates at 14 percent.
Table 1Building type and bird capacity in the Ball operation
The composter serving this operation is a pole-type structure with open sides and a wood-truss roof. Primary composting bins are located along either side of the structure, with the central part of the building used as a work area. Secondary compost bins are built along the rear of the building as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1Plan view of the Ball composter.
The eight primary compost bins are 10 feet wide, 6 feet deep and 5 feet high, and are made with treated lumber. The two secondary compost bins are 10 feet wide, 24 feet long and 5 feet high. Total composting volume is 2,400 cubic feet in the primary bins and 2,400 cubic feet in the secondary bins. Figures 1 and 2 show dimensional and structural characteristics of the Ball composter.
Figure 2Cross section of the Ball composter.
Ball estimates an average of about one hour and 15 minutes per day is required to properly manage the composter. This average includes the daily requirements to layer and cover the dead birds and the intermittent requirements to clean out and move primary compost to the secondary bins, to bring litter to the composter from the production buildings, and to field-spread the finished compost.
Ball uses a tractor with a front-end loader to handle litter, move compost and load spreading equipment. A beater-type manure spreader or litter hauling truck is used to spread finished compost. Finished compost containing significant amounts of straw is better handled by the manure spreader than a litter truck with spinner-plate spreader. Table 2 shows a laboratory analysis of the finished compost fertilizer value from the Ball composter.
Table 2Analysis of litter and finished compost in the Ball operation
The Ball composter design does not include a litter ingredient storage area. A storage area providing at least two months storage would help the day-to-day operation of the composter. Since flocks are rotated on two-month intervals, a litter storage period of two months would allow transfer from production buildings to the composter in conjunction with flock rotation. Ball currently uses several of the primary composting bins for ingredient storage because mortalities are not at a level requiring their use. However, this storage volume is not sufficient for maximum efficiency.
Based on his experience thus far, Ball estimates that 165 tons of litter per year will be used. At this rate, a two-month storage area of 1,840 cubic feet, or an area equal to six primary bins in the Ball composter will be necessary. The use of 165 tons of litter per year in the composter represents 20 percent of the litter produced annually in the Ball operation. Ball estimates that 175 tons of finished compost are generated annually in his composter. This figure comes from the annual input of 165 tons of litter, 83 tons of dead birds and 8 tons of straw into the composter. This mass balance implies that one-third of the input material weight is lost during the composting process.
Ball indicates that traditional markets (buyers) for litter may be reluctant to purchase finished compost due to perceived aesthetic problems (a few visible bones, etc.) even though the finished compost is very similar to litter in fertilizer nutrient content.
Composter costs depend upon many factors such as site characteristics, composter design, size, etc. Table 3 shows costs incurred for the Ball composter as constructed in November 1990.
The design of the Ball composter includes a relatively large covered work area in the center of the building. Some growers may wish to reduce overall costs with a design incorporating the work area on an outside concrete slab.

Question for the Editors
Original post made by Hmmm, another community, on Dec 7, 2012
I heard about the bad dog bite last month at the Menlo Park dog park which cost a woman her finger. I'm wondering why this wasn't reported here? In my experience, any time one of the pit bull breeds or mixes is involved in anything negative, the media are all over it. But when it's not a bull breed, much less is generally heard.

SunLine names interim GM
THOUSAND PALMS , Calif. - The board of the SunLine Transit Agency named Roger Snoble its new interim general manager at a special meeting on Friday. His hire comes during the ongoing investigation of general manager C. Mikel Oglesby for a "personnel issue." "I'm really honored to be asked to do it," said Snoble. "I'm excited to help out no matter how the outcome comes out."
Snoble comes with 43 years of transit experience. Most recently, seven years as the CEO of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (METRO). He retired in 2009. Now, he's back and ready to help SunLine. "What I'll start looking at are the issues with the audit, and the financial situation," said Snoble.
An audit which cost the company more than $800,000. SunLine missed an audit deadline with the Riverside County Transportation Commission. Consequently, the RCTC had to withhold $812,000 in state funding in April Later, the board placed Oglesby on paid administrative leave for a "personnel matter." "It's not a punishment in any way whatsoever," said SunLine attorney Jeff Goldfarb. "It's simply so that the investigation can go on without any of the parties any of the parties involved in the investigation being present."
Whether finances played a role in Oglesby's situation or not, it's clear that board's concerned about money. "What we're looking at are the finances, making sure that the finances are sound moving forward," said Coachella mayor and SunLine board member Eduardo Garcia.
That's why Garcia does not support Mr. Snoble's salary. The board plans to pay him about $25,000 a month for the next four months. "I think we need to be mindful when we're making decisions to approve agreements and contracts, that are reflective and we can live within the means of the agency," said Garcia.
The board ultimately voted to approve Snoble's salary. He offers this reassurance. "I hope it's money well spent because hopefully we'll be able to get this over with fairly quickly," said Snoble. "And maybe save some money along the way as well."
Goldfarb said the audit is now complete and SunLine will not miss out on anymore state funding. We have requested an interview with Mr. Oglesby.

Where I stayed
Tangga Bungalows
Gili Air, where we stayed, is quite small - about 90mins to walk around the outside. On two sides of the island there is almost untouched beachfront and the rest is made up of small restaurants and bungalows. The water is about 30 degrees over the reef so the snorkelling is incredible with turtles and stingrays swimming by.
There are no motor vehicles so the only traffic is from pony and carts that circle the island on a sand path. The background noises are from the wildlife, children playing, or from cows and chickens. This is the rainy season so pretty much daily a storm passes through so we spent quite a few days sitting on our bungalow porch just reading and listening to the distant thunder which just seems bigger and louder in this part of the world
The island is Muslim and there is a mosque in the village which broadcasts the calls for prayer 4 times per day which echos around the island making it almost hypnotic! We ended up using the calls for prayer almost as a way of telling the time of the day. One nice touch is that they are teaching a 10 year old child to sing the broadcasts so everyday during the late afternoon he has a go for a few minutes - cute!
Yet again a great accommodation offer found us on the boat over a resort of only two bungalows set back from the beach by about 100 metres across a field of coconut trees. The guy who runs it is officially the most relaxed person in the world; apparently absorbed and totally enthralled by his life there. Most days he spends working in the gardens or just sitting listening to the sounds of the island, smoking and always talks about how nice it is.
He'd often come up and sit with us on the terrace and hang out for a while then go back to pottering in the garden. He was also the chef and made a damn good banana pancake in the morning. He was also a dab-hand at frying almost anything for munchies though his on/off relationship with the deep fat fryer would often see him stood 3m away from the thing spitting away in the corner looking a bit scared
One evening we sat with him and some of his friends on the porch chatting, when all of a sudden one started talking to his mate close by in Indonesian and pointed at Gaby's legs. Wondering, what they were talking about her she asked and they guy asked her "You do sport? Have big powerful legs!". When she then explained that she's a PT it explained it all to him... though not something she was used to hearing: "Hey, check out your fat calves!"
Talking to the locals was really interesting - the guy running the bungalows lived on the beach for 10 years with no cover. In the early 80's before tourism reached the island there were no toilets (they just went in a bush). Power and TV (1 for the whole island) arrived in the late 90's.
One further highlight of the trip is that we were joined by our friend James from London - a great place to catch up! The scuba diving around the Gilis is excellent so Gaby decided to do the Advanced PADI course and James did the Open Water. As there weren't that many people around it was basically one-to-one tuition. James, fresh from reading an NLP book somehow managed to brainwash his instructor into getting around doing any theory at all, and the exam was held over banana milkshakes with the text book and us helping
The diving was incredible with the reef in really good condition and teeming with life. On one dive we swam over 12 turtles feeding in a coral garden. One turtle got stuck in the coral so super-Matt came to the rescue and lifted it out. That's my version of events anyway. The turtle wasn't available for comment.
James was officially an air-hog and managed to run out completely on two dives; his thought process being, "check air, hmm a bit low. Must tell dive master...ooo look, a fishy!" (see "theory avoidance" above!) On one occasion he came to me and showed the air gauge on zero and I pointed him in the direction of the dive master. Not the thing to do as everyone has a spare air source! (in my defence I thought it must have been a dodgy gauge as we'd only been in the water 15 minutes but I think this precludes me from becoming a rescue diver!!)
Apart from going around using twice as much oxygen than the rest of the human race James also has feet of jelly - both trainers and flip flops causing all kinds of sweaty wounds. (You don't walk much do you James?!) At least his ability to get restaurant staff running around in all directions making everything just right meant he didn't have to walk very much, "music a touch too loud, not enough bass, lemons not lemony enough...you have a lovely smile by the way...move that parasol an inch to the left..." Smooth!
Apart from diving and snorkelling around the island we spent most of the days reading, writing, and rather ambitiously inventing new religions after a Bintang (beer) or two.
After an initial plan of a week-long stay here, 18 days slipped by so we packed up and moved on further East, to Flores, which we heard great things about. Next update from there!

Deschutes permit system to be down for conversion
BEND, Ore. - The Deschutes County Community Development Department conversion to the State electronic permitting system (Accela) will take place from 12:00 p.m. Friday, September 27 through the weekend. The new system is expected to be online Monday morning, September 30.
The new Accela system will offer residents a faster permitting process. The cities of Redmond and Sisters are also going online with the statewide system in the near future.
In order to facilitate the conversion process, CDD will be not be able to accept building, electrical, plumbing, septic, or land use permit applications or payments after 12:00 p.m. on Friday, September 27 through the weekend. Permits will also not be available online.
"I strongly encourage anyone planning to apply for a permit, to visit our office prior to noon on Friday, September 27 or on Monday morning, September 30. We will be open to the public Friday afternoon to provide information and to answer questions," said CDD Director Nick Lelack.
In addition, inspections on Monday, September 30, cannot be scheduled online or through the old permitting system. Inspections for this date will need to be recorded by staff, and then scheduled once the new software is in place.
Through the new permitting system, contractors will be able to apply for permits online, saving driving costs and valuable time. Tools within the system enable users to receive emails about the status of permits immediately upon inspection or, when they want to monitor what steps remain within the process.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Finding the Right Puppy (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/finding-right-puppy/)
- - Is a GSD the right dog for me? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/finding-right-puppy/406770-gsd-right-dog-me.html)
Is a GSD the right dog for me?
Hello! I came across this forum and saw a lot of useful information! I have been researching about GSD's for a while now and I am considering getting one. I'm considering the GSD because I like bigger breeds, and because of their loyalty, companionship, and energy!
A little about myself, I am a college student at the University of Florida and love dogs ever since I was a child! I have experience with dogs, but not with GSD's! I love the fact that they are so loyal and energetic. I am not planning to use him much for protection but for a companion. I know that the GSD's are typically protective over their owner and I am fine with that!
I am currently living in an apartment at the moment that DO allow dogs, but I just have a few worries. Will my puppy be able to hold his pee for longer than 4 hours? I leave for class at 10AM and return at 2PM Monday/Wednesday/Friday and from 12PM to 2PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I live with my girlfriend and she has access to my room and the puppy whenever. I'm just wondering when she's not home, will the puppy be able to hold it for a little while?
Also, barking might be an issue. I know that when puppies grow up and learn how to bark they won't stop until they're tired! I know exercise will reduce the barking, but I am only able to give the puppy my full attention for a long period of time is after class! I just don't want to get a noise complaint from the people living next door to me!
I do realize in my situation living in an apartment, a GSD may not be the best breed for me since it is an active dog and need a lot of space to run around, but I do plan on giving it plenty of exercise, whether it be walking or playing!
I have read that GSD's may not be a good dogpark dog and that worries me because that was my idea of playing with him and letting him socialize! I planned on walking him to the dog park which is about 2-3 miles from my home and letting him play in the dogpark!
I really do love the breed and want to do as much research as I can before I commit to a wonderful breed!
Some GSDs make ok dog park dogs, most do not. Their play is quite rough and can quickly escalate to a telling off. If your main exercise will be based around going to a dog park, you might want to look at other large breeds that fit in easily with other dogs in enclosed areas, there are many to choose from but the breeds I have seen that make great dog park dogs are Labs, Golden Retrievers, Weimaraners, Ridgebacks, Boarder Collies and quite a few mixed mutts as well.
In the first week or 2 of bringing puppy home, you will need to take him toilet after eating, drinking and waking up. If you feed him and take him out for toilet before you leave to go to school, then you might be lucky with no accidents within 4 hours, otherwise leave some paper or urine mats in an area. My 2 GSDs are 3yo and 5yo and I can leave them for 8 hours without access to toilet.
My experience with barking is that they will only bark if there is a reason to, if they see someone walking past their property, or hear someone etc. Otherwise they are generally not the sort of dogs to bark and bark and bark, but again, as long as puppy is well fed and exercised (not over exercised) then they do sleep a fair bit during the day.
I think GSDs can live quite happily in an apartment, so long as they receive adequate exercise, preferably morning and evening.
They are a wonderful dog, and good on you for doing your research, far better to really look into which breed is right for you than getting a particular breed that you become attached to and further on realise that you made a mistake.
Just a note on dog parks, PERSONALLY, in general I wouldn't really recommend them, especially if you're looking to socialize. The thing of it is, you can't control who comes to the park, nor their behavior while there. There are a lot of good people and great dogs that visit them, but it really only takes one person not watching their overly rambunctious dog to mess up your socialization. The thing to remember (especially since GSDs can be sensitive) is that "socializing" your dog means having your dog experience new places, people, and other dogs in a way that makes them COMFORTABLE. If the situation is scary, it does more damage than good. Any dog you get, you're better off going to a big open park to run around and work on obedience as opposed to a dog park, and schedule doggy visits in ways that you can control.
Here's a great article on it that shows a lot of behaviors that frequently go under the radar at dog parks and how they can harm your dog's socialization:
Well Socialized? No, Well Traumatized -
If you decide on a GSD (or any dog for that matter) it would be a great benefit to schedule his/her arrival during a break from class. Between semesters or spring break or something. That way you can dedicate a couple/few weeks to 24/7 house breaking, crate training, so things go well when you go back to school. The puppy will then be able to wait for potty breaks and will be used to the crate so it won't bark while you're gone.
Good luck.
Dog parks are a terrible place to socialize a puppy and if they haven't had all their shots yet, they can catch nasty diseases there. I personally will never take a puppy or even adult dog to a dog park because there are too many irresponsible owners who don't understand dog behavior and will allow harassing behavior to occur. I should know since I used to *be* one of those people.
A puppy is not going to be able to hold it for four hours at the age of 8 weeks. At 16 weeks, possibly if it is already crate-trained it will be alright. But keep in mind this is a baby dog. I'm not sure I would feel comfortable leaving a baby alone for long periods. Maybe you can get the pup over summer break and spend more time with him/her then?
Regarding barking, if you leave a dog alone for long periods, there is no guarantee they won't bark out of boredom or protectiveness, especially in an apartment. It's a risk you will have to take. There are things you can do to mitigate it but it's not a sure thing.
Have you considered rescuing an adult dog? You could choose one that is quiet and not too high energy. I have a lovely rescue who almost never barks and is excellent whether I want to spend the whole day hiking with her or have to leave her home for 8 hours. There are a lot of great breed-specific rescues that can help you find a GSD, although it will be difficult to find a breeder or rescue who will work with you because you are a student.

If I may make a suggestion, have you considered a rescue? They are equally as much work as a puppy, in a different way, but it sounds like an adult or older puppy (8mo. +) might fit better in your lifestyle. Larger bladder, less impulsive/jumpy/chewy/mouthy... Just a thought to do with as you will.
(edit: Just noticed Kaimeju beat me to the punch...)
You are currently a college student, right?
Well looking back at my life (and finances) when I was in college and for the first few years after graduating I would NOT recommend getting any dog right now.
A dog is a HUGE responsibility (and cost) for the next 12+ years of your life. And a big dog like a GSD is even more than a small pet. The TIME needed to properly exercise and train is something I didn't have when busy with classes and socializing and parttime jobs. I barely had enough extra money for my car insurance and gas let alone adding vet bills and training classes.
Plus, while you currently live in a place that allows dogs, there is no guarantee that will be the same when you graduate and depending on where you get your first job(s). Hate to have to limit your jobs due to a dog (or set you up to have to give your dog up in a few years because you can't take him/her with you).
So, based on my life in college and for a few years after. I feel the best decision is to focus on THAT! Great grades and doing well. Being able to be free enough to go anywhere in the world for the best jobs AFTER graduation. That way you'll be in an excellent situation in 5 years or so with a GOOD salary and a job that is more flexible to allow a dog and what that involves.
In the meantime, there is so much 'dog' you can do without your own dog. Work in a shelter or for a rescue. Is there any dog training you are interested in? If it's Schutzund then find a club in your area and ask if you can join to help and learn.
So I say to read/research/and learn about all the different breeds so when you ARE in a secure situation to get a dog it will be ideal for you and your dog for it's entire life.
> can you afford a dog?
> Vet bills, food, toys, crate,
training classes, sitter/walker,
price of the pup.
>barking. tell your neighbors
you're getting a pup. i told my
neighbors i was getting a pup.
i gave them a key to house so they
could come in and let the pup out
and treat him.
> when you're attending class find
a sitter/walker to come in and take
care of your pup.
> you need lots of time for training, socializing
and general care.
way it out. maybe you and the pup are better
off together if you wait untill you finish school
and you have a place to live and your making money.
larger bladder, yes, but they still have to go out.
impulsive, jumpy, chewy, mouthy are training issues.
Is a GSD the right dog for me?
First off, thank you for the replies!
I realize maybe a dog park may not be the best choice after all! There is actually a park right across the street that I can take the pup for walks and to play!
At the moment, I plan on waiting till spring break to get a pup which is in the beginning of March. I am a sophomore in college and will probably be in college for the next 6 years of my life because of dental school. Classes/apartment/food is all payed for by financial aid and parents. The money I have is a monthly allowance of 800$ to spend for extra food and for myself. I'm not saying that to brag about how much money I get, but to give a general idea if that's enough to care for a pup let alone a grown dog! Also, the apartments I'm living in for the rest of my college career will be in pet approve homes!
Oh and my girlfriend will have access to my room to take the pup out when I'm in class! Campus is only 5minutes away so I will be able to go home if anything is needed!
I want a puppy because I would love for it to grow up with me, but if I must get an older dog at a rescue, that may be a possibility.
I know vet bills add up and other accessories that may come with by owning a puppy but I'm willing to give up that movie night out to save money for my pup! I'm willing to invest as much as I can afford for the puppy to live a long life.
I'm still researching on the breed and I'm in love with the GSD but will consider other breeds if it suits my lifestyle and expectations.
Thank you all for the wonderful replies!!

Damn, I have to go to the goat locker and take a whiz quiz. I sure hope Cheif Porter isn't up there!

How to count to a zillion without falling off the end of the number line
Brian Hayes
Last year the National Debt Clock in New York City ran out of digits. The billboard-size electronic counter, mounted on a wall near Times Square, overflowed when the public debt reached $10 trillion, or 1013 dollars. The crisis was resolved by squeezing another digit into the space occupied by the dollar sign. Now a new clock is on order, with room for growth; it won't fill up until the debt reaches a quadrillion (1015) dollars.
The incident of the Debt Clock brings to mind a comment made by Richard Feynman in the 1980s—back when mere billions still had the power to impress:
There are 1011 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.
The important point here is not that high finance is catching up with the sciences; it's that the numbers we encounter everywhere in daily life are growing steadily larger. Computer technology is another area of rapid numeric inflation. Data storage capacity has gone from kilobytes to megabytes to gigabytes, and the latest disk drives hold a terabyte (1012 bytes). In the world of supercomputers, the current state of the art is called petascale computing (1015 operations per second), and there is talk of a coming transition to exascale (1018). After that, we can await the arrival of zettascale (1021) and yottascale (1024) machines—and then we run out of prefixes!
Even these numbers are puny compared with the prodigious creations of pure mathematics. In the 18th century the largest known prime number had 10 digits; the present record-holder runs to almost 13 million digits. The value of pi has been calculated to a trillion digits—a feat at once magnificent and mind-numbing. Elsewhere in mathematics there are numbers so big that even trying to describe their size requires numbers that are too big to describe. Of course none of these numbers are likely to turn up in everyday chores such as balancing a checkbook. On the other hand, logging into a bank's web site involves doing arithmetic with numbers in the vicinity of 2128, or 1038. (The calculations take place behind the scenes, in the cryptographic protocols meant to ensure privacy and security.)
Which brings me to the main theme of this column: Those streams of digits that make us so dizzy also present challenges for the design of computer hardware and software. Like the National Debt Clock, computers often set rigid limits on the size of numbers. When routine calculations begin to bump up against those limits, it's time for a rethinking of numeric formats and algorithms. Such a transition may be upon us soon, with the approval last year of a revised standard for one common type of computer arithmetic, called floating point. Before the new standard becomes too deeply entrenched, perhaps it's worth pausing to examine a few alternative schemes for computing with astronomical and economical and mathematical numbers.

Playing the now infamous "Born Slippy .NUXX" and "Pearl's Girl," along with "Crocodile" (from the soon-to-be-released Oblivion with Bells, their fifth studio CD), Underworld sounded like (and frequently quoted snippets from) Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, the Cure, Erasure, New Order, the Neon Judgment, and, yes, Frankie. In short, they showed themselves to be more of a glam band than a rave unit despite the presence of a DJ and the absence of a drummer and a bass player. And the sum of their quotes is a sound so lush, with so much swing between Hyde's froggy, Blood Sweat & Tears vocals and the electronic atmospherics of Price and Smith, that one heard not the individual trees but the entire forest. If their music remains rooted in 1985-'95, it also sums up the entire glam ideal — exemplified by Hyde, an art-school kid from Wales — that a poor boy can talk the talk, and walk the walk, of a rich man's world.
The music of Underworld is almost supremely funkless. Not so that of Australian superstar DJ John Digweed, whose dry, crinkly electro-techno opening set had hips swaying and arms bobbing to his funky beats and seamless mixes.

Last year, having spent $265,000 on picking up and carting away old tires, broken appliances, and busted furniture left in vacant lots and woods, Reading, Pa., Solid Waste and Recycling Program Coordinator Frank Denbowski figured there had to be a better way to identify culprits than conducting 24-hour stakeouts.
So he tried something his police chief recommended: motion-sensitive surveillance cameras.
Seeking a low-maintenance solution, Denbowski installed FlashCAM-880 "vandalism-deterrent" camera systems ( www.qstartech.com) at a dozen locations throughout the 10-acre city, where 82,000 people live. Retailing for about $5,000 each, the solar-powered cameras capture up to 700 high-resolution digital images that he wirelessly downloads to his desktop. The camera allows users to record a 14-second message-such as "Attention, you are being photographed"-while illuminating up to 100 feet around it with a bright flash.
"People are so startled they often look up into the camera to try to find out where it is," Denbowski says, thus providing a clear image of their face for authorities.
Denbowski moves the cameras around to keep potential dumpers off guard. So in addition to providing irrefutable evidence of wrongdoing, he says, his $60,000 investment is "a very effective prevention tool. Word gets around."
To keep defendants from claiming the city hadn't made them aware of disposal options, the city's illegal dumping ordinance includes a "presumption of ownership" clause: If an envelope or correspondence with address information is found in the trash, the city assumes the garbage came from that address. The ordinance also gives Denbowski the power to issue citations.
Even if a community has an ordinance against illegal dumping, Denbowski recommends notifying the state. Some violators may be wanted on other charges, or can be sued in civil court on other charges.
Because residents are a community's best enforcement tool, Denbowski publicizes arrests and convictions by sending press releases to local media. "Residents want clean neighborhoods, so they're becoming more cooperative," says Denbowski's boss, Public Works Director Charles Jones, PE.
In July, Denbowski's crews began collecting up to 12 tires/household for no charge (www.readingpa.gov/documents/2008_tire_collection_brochure.pdf), and "we've seen fewer tires in alleys," he says. That effort, combined with a toll-free, anonymous hotline recently initiated by the county (http://www.co.berks.pa.us/swa/lib/swa/crime_alert_berks_county_flyer.pdf), that rewards callers up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest of an illegal dumper, is going a long way toward removing eyesores around one of Pennsylvania's largest cities.

Next-Generation iPhone Photos Leak; Shows Longer Screen, Metal Backplates

Next-generation iPhone backplates
(Source: 9 to 5 Mac)
Next-generation iPhone frame

Next-generation iPhone front glass
(Source: 9 to 5 Mac)
The next generation iPhone is expected to make an appearance in the fall along with iOS 6
New photos of the
next-generation iPhone
have hit the web, and it looks like Apple fans have plenty of new changes to look forward to when it arrives.
Earlier today,
9 to 5 Mac
got its hands on the backplates and frames of the upcoming next-generation iPhone. From the images posted, it seems Apple is making some external and internal changes.
As with the iPhone 4 and 4S, the next-generation iPhone will be available in black and white. Both the black and white versions have backplates that are made of metal, with the plastic trim at the top and bottom. The metal antenna is molded into these metal backplates, likely as a way of making a unibody enclosure for stronger, yet thinner and lighter gadgets.
The new backplates and frames also show that the next-generation iPhone will be the same width, but it will be longer. The screen will reportedly be longer with a size of 3.999 inches diagonally and will have a resolution of 1136 x 640.
Other notable changes that are apparent from the backplates and frames are a smaller dock connector, redesigned speaker grills, a new opening between the camera lens and the LED flash (which is where a second microphone may be placed for better audio when recording video), the earphone jack has been relocated to the bottom corner of the iPhone, and the front camera lens has become centered above the earpiece.
It also appears that Apple will not feature edge-to-edge technology in this version of the iPhone, but the possibility of Micro-SIM technology (or maybe even no SIMs at all) is pretty strong. LTE and a better processor are a few other add-ons that are expected in the next-generation iPhone.
The next generation iPhone is expected to make an appearance in the fall along with iOS 6.
In addition to next-gen iPhone spec leaks, it was also rumored last week that Apple will release
a Mini iPad
later this year. The Mini version of Apple's famous tablet is rumored to be 7-inches.
Speaking of Apple prototypes, an
original iPad with two dock connectors
sold on eBay for $10,200 yesterday. Apple never formally released an iPad with two dock connectors, where one was designed for portrait and the other for landscape, but that rare gadget made its way onto eBay for an expensive Memorial Day bidding war.

Starting Position: Come to an all-fours (quadruped) position on the floor mat, with your hands under your shoulders hands fingers facing forward. Engaging your abdominals to support the spine, step back one foot at a time, coming to a push-up position (plank). You hands should remain under your shoulders. Reposition your feet as needed to allow full extension of your body. Do no allow the ribcage or low back to sag toward the floor or the hips to hike up toward the ceiling.
Upward Phase: Exhale. Shift your weight back toward the wall behind you. This will cause your hips to rise up in the air forming an inverted V position. Your head should be aligned with your spine or slightly tucked. Try not to lift the head. Press your heels toward the floor. If your hamstrings are tight, you may allow a slight bend in the knees. Work toward straight knees, reaching the heels toward the floor.
Downward Phase: Inhale and return your body to the starting push-up position, maintaining the alignment of all your body segments.

Skin & Nail Support
Our bodies are a stunning organization of various types of connective tissues. In the form of cartilage and bones, they uphold our bodies; in the form of joints, they allow our mobility; in the form of epidermal tissues - the skin - they form the bodys mass and protect us from and connect us to, our environment. As we age, many people experience calcium deficiencies and bone problems. Similarly, joint problems are among the most debilitating aspects of aging. Yet with the proper nutrients and lifestyle changes, the bones and joints can remain strong, flexible, and active well into old age. Likewise, healthy, beautiful skin is a matter of diet and nutrition: the skin should be nourished with fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins, and a nutritious diet gives the skin sufficient nutrients and antioxidants for protection.

Get ready, and get
excited; it's Homecoming
By Taryn Epperson & Montana Beckham
Shark Correspondents
Homecoming week is always a smash hit for the Sharks. Every day is something different to get the players ready and excited for Friday's game. Shark Pride was the theme for this week.
The last time Cedar Key School students participated in the state's Learning in Florida's Environment (LIFE) program, they did so with the help of the Cedar Key Energy Advisory Panel and Suwannee River Water Management District.
Today, when 50 students participate in a second LIFE program it will be with state funding. That's because an agreement with the state Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Environmental Education will establish the state's 18th Learning in Florida's Environment (LIFE) Program site in Levy County.

If you thought they might try to re-assess their hard-core platform of discredited beliefs, or try to find ways to participate in, and influence, the course of governmental action, you would be wrong.
As Rush Limbaugh has made clear, their path lies in seeking the failure of President Barack Obama and the Democratically controlled Congress — in predicting, and seeking, the massive and catastrophic collapse of America. Only that result can prove them right.
The stakes, to their mind, could not be higher: the American experiment is on the verge of running off its constitutional rails. "We are at a pivotal point in our nation's history," says Paul McKinley, a Republican state senator from Iowa.
McKinley is among hundreds of Republican lawmakers, all over the country, who are backing resolutions of "state sovereignty" — essentially empty gestures toward declaring the illegitimacy of the federal government. Of the many manifestations of conservative anti-government hostility, none is more striking than this sudden, nationwide movement: barely 50 days into Obama's administration, lawmakers in more than two dozen states have introduced these sovereignty declarations. Some appear headed for passage; others have prompted raucous demonstrations and public hearings.
Based on a thoroughly rejected reading of the 10th Amendment — which states that "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people" — the resolutions claim the federal government, in usurping powers and issuing mandates to the states, is in violation of the US Constitution. They call for Congress and the president to cease and desist in those (mostly unspecified) violations.
The resolutions generally avoid specifying how they would assert their claimed sovereignty — although a few threaten to defy the federal government, and to refuse to implement laws they dislike.
Some resolutions go further, claiming that the violations may constitute a "nullification of the Constitution." The most aggressive, which was recently defeated in New Hampshire, explicitly threatened to dissolve the Union.
As much as so-called Tenth Amendment Movement participants believe they are responding to a unique circumstance, they are actually treading old, and predictable ground. The exact same movement arose when the last Democratic president took office, in 1993. In fact, most of the resolutions circulating today are word-for-word copies of the ones introduced 16 years ago.
By late 1994, at least eight states had passed versions, with legislators in more than 20 states planning to introduce them in their 1995 sessions, according to a review at the time by the conservative Heritage Foundation.

Town Square
Have we misplaced our community priorities?
Original post made by Diana Diamond, Palo Alto Online blogger, on May 23, 2007
The council was told that Stanford needs to build 1.4 million square feet of new facilities at the Medical Center, to replace 700,000 square feet of existing facilities. In large part the rebuild is dictated by state legislation that requires all acute-care hospitals to meet new seismic standards by 2013.
The physicians appearing before the council -- Dr. Jerry Shefren and Dr. Harvey Cohen -- carefully documented the need for more room. Stanford Hospital's emergency room frequently is at capacity, as is the hospital itself: 500 adult patients had to be turned away last year because of a shortage of rooms.
The hospital provides the highest level of trauma care, which didn't even exist when it was built in 1959. The demand for inpatient and outpatient care is increasing as the area's population ages. There's need for modern facilities to accommodate new medical technologies and to conduct more research.
Lucile Salter Packard Children's Hospital is almost at 100 percent capacity daily, and last year it could not accommodate 200 critically ill children a year because of lack of room.
"We are having to say no to children in our community," Cohen said.
So what were some of the first comments from our council?
Council member Peter Drekmeier said he knew this was a hospital rather than a university project, but he was worried about open space, and said the goal should be to dedicate more open space.
"The fear in the community is that growth is just happening," he said.
Councilman John Barton called this a "gargantuan project with significant impacts" that have to be "mitigated," meaning Stanford will have to give something to the community in return for the expansion.
Councilman Jack Morton went even further, saying Stanford was "threatening" the council by asking that discussion be limited to the Med Center. "I want this to succeed in a way the community is satisfied, (acknowledging) our love of open space, our love of the horizon. ... We value the overall environment and we wish you valued it the same way."
Funny, I thought the project under discussion was expanding a Medical Center to provide the community with more and better medical care.
Mayor Yoriko Kishimoto said she was worried about traffic, since the project would bring more people to Stanford and she wanted no new traffic impacts. And she and a few other council members have suggested to Stanford in the past that if the Med Center employs more people it needs to provide housing for these employees.
But the demands do not just stop at housing, for Stanford has been told if these employees require housing they might also require schools, parks and maybe even a library. Kishimoto talked about more bike paths and reintroducing the idea of redeveloping the train station area to include more housing.
"We are concerned not about just what happens in the study area but we are looking at impacts in a larger area," she said.
So we have four council members telling Stanford they want more housing, less traffic, more schools, compensation for three tall (130 feet) patient towers (that will probably house some of us when we are in the hospital), more open space and maybe even some land in the foothills -- all in exchange for a state-of-the-art medical facility that will serve thousands of patients for years to come. By comparision, Hoover Tower is 285 feet tall, Palo Alto City Hall is 127 feet, Palo Alto Square is 132 feet and 101 Alma is 140 feet high.
I've heard more than one council member say that Stanford is a rich university so it should in effect "pay" for the hospital expansion. Stanford may be rich, but the hospitals depend on patients for their income.
I, for one, would not want employee housing or bike path costs hiking up my medical bills.
Only council members Judy Kleinberg and Bern Beecham acknowledged that the council was talking about a medical center whose space and medical needs were of great importance.
Kleinberg was particularly upfront on her support, saying she didn't take Stanford's proposal to limit discussion to the Med Center as a threat. And while there will be more patients and employees, there also will be more benefits that are not just monetary -- such as saving lives.
As to the towers, she said she would prefer the hospital go up instead of out, to allow more space and more sunlight as well as greater functionality and efficiency in the hospital.
Why are some council members suggesting that if we expand the Med Center we are somehow endangering the quality of life in our community? Isn't the reverse true? By having a hospital that is one of the best in the country, aren't we guaranteeing that quality of all our lives will be improved?
As some residents pointed out at the study session last week, expanding the Medical Center is not simply a construction project that must be negotiated. The hospitals will be the center of our medical needs, particularly if there is a disaster. The Medical Center is a world-famous institution that is involved in cutting-edge research -- it attracts the best and the brightest of physicians and researchers, despite the high housing costs in our region.
And the Med Center does not just serve Palo Alto. It accepts patients from the entire area, even the entire country. As to requiring that housing be provided, it need not be up to Palo Alto alone to provide housing for hospital employees -- the entire region is available for housing, meaning a regional approach may be appropriate to absorb the housing impacts of a regional facility. Some communities, such as San Jose, are reporting a surfeit of housing.
The council needs to focus on what the Med Center is all about -- saving human lives. That is the top priority.

I think this discussion on the hospital/medical center's future will be illuminating as to character and motives of our city council members.

Stanford isn't just rich. It has an $18 billion endowment.

It was fun to watch the usual pro-development crowd shedding (real?) tears in front of the city council telling about their family members who were cured at the hospital. Maybe Stanford has hired Oprah for this project.
As though the good doctors have anything to do with the immense land development. This is a business deal.

Unfortunately, Forum Reader, I am not sure you know what an endowment is and what it is to be used for.
However, I can see where you are coming fun--maybe it would be much easier for all concerned if the City Council would be forthcoming in their feelings that the Stanford Hospital/Medical Center should not proceed with their proposed expansion/rebuild. That way Stanford will know if they need to start looking for a out of town new location for thier hospital and the city council will save themselves the trouble of thrwoing roadblocks in Stanford's way for years to come.

And move away from Stanford University? Surely you are losing track of reality.
You pose yet another straw argument. The council isn't even implying that they shouldn't build. It is just saying, let's see what the implications are. For example, several times they have refused to say how many new employees they expect. Though they have numbers from here to the moon on exact square footage, dollars, building plans, the whole deal. But because housing is in short supply and development is already out of control in Palo Alto, they won't tell nya, nya.
Maybe it isn't just Oprah they are imitating, maybe it is also Vanna White. They'll reveal the number when they are good and ready and everyone else is exhausted.

Stanford Hospital is moving many of it's clinics to the old Excite campus in Redwood City. There are plenty examples of university hospitals having separate locations from the main campus (Northwestern, Johns Hopkins etc).
It is something for Stanford to consider if the city council plans to play it's we want more housing/we want more open space ( a conflict BTW)/no more traffic games

Yes, and Stanford recently purchased that multi-acre site to do more biotechnology-based work. Palo Alto lost the opportunity tto co-develop a cultural center with Stanford. the gods only know how many other deals have been washed away, or not even proposed, because of the poor track record of our city's management and policy-makers working with Stanford.
The soccer fields at Page Mill and El Camino we somewhat of a win, but far from the massive victory that some made it out to be.
The bottom line is that we are rank amateurs when it comes to dealing with Stanford. What's most upsetting about this is that we have no fixed vision or plan for approaching our neighbor. We simply deal with things as Stanford brings them up. Aside from help Stanford sell football tickets with our downtown BID promotions, where are we with our world-famous neighbor? In the doghouse.
If we had any respect on the Stanford campus, we would be included in development talks of projects like the mall and hospital FAR before we currently are, but Stanford is too smart for that. They don't want to get bogged down in negotiable minutiae with certain plicy makers who don't seem to understand what it takes to forge strong municipal/commercial partnerships (even as they tout their Stanford-pedigree MBA's). Our City Manager, otherwise an effective guy, doesn't seem to have a clue how to manage the massive, dormant opportunity next door.'
btw, "not so fast" is correct. PA shuolod not take Stanford's current needs as a guaranteed opportunity to extract favors. What's amazing to me is how Stanford manages to trump PA in most areas, anyway, in spite of too-little, too-late efforts by some politicos to bleed a neighbor that shuould be our biggest benefactor and co-partner, instead of it's current status (in their minds) as a threat to our environment, our views, and so on.

Disclaimer: I an not and have never been affiliated with Stanford in any way.
For me, having Stanford as a neighbor is one of the best aspects of living in Palo Alto.
Several members of my family have received excellent emergency care at the Stanford medical clinic over the years. Forum Reader may wish to reconsider his or her Oprah/Vanna accusations the next time a loved one has a medical emergency.
While Stanford doubtless pursues its own interests, it generally does so in ways that preserve and enhance the quality of life for Palo Alto citizens. Almost everything I see Stanford do, development-wise, is win-win. They are a spectacularly good neighbor, all things considered. But Palo Altans discuss Stanford as though it were a noisy factory belching toxic waste.
The people who rant against Stanford's plans remind me of those who spend all day blasting capitalism and globalization but couldn't live a minute without their laptops, cell phones, iPods and imported cars. With just a bit more self-awareness, they could rise to the level of hypocrites.
To those who would obstruct Stanford in all their efforts to improve the university, medical center, and Palo Alto: be careful what you wish for.

As a forty year resident of Palo Alto, who has aging parents living in Palo Alto and two elementary school children attending Palo Alto schools, I have had the opportunity to personally experience the value of a world class hospital as our neighbor. From friends and relatives who have sought cancer treatment or had major surgery at the hospital, going to the ER for broken bones, and delivering our children at the Children's Hospital, the care and expertise we have received has been exceptional.
As I understand it, the overall project encompasses the main hospital building, the original hospital Hoover Pavilion, and the existing single story medical office buildings on Welsh Road. This distributes the additional square footage over many buildings.
Having the main hospital renovated and upgraded to meet health care needs of a more populous Palo Alto and surrounding communities, we are better prepared for not only the next fifty to one hundred years of continued excellent health care, but in the case of a major health catastrophe, we would have the best resource in the county in our back yard.
Additionally, if the facility is planned is a sustainable way, it can be a model not only for other healthcare facilities, but businesses such as HP, Google, Sun, Xerox, and other Palo Alto businesses who do not have green design as a criteria in their construction. I am amazed that Palo Alto lags behind other communities in requiring new construction to be sustainable and green. This could include better public transporation to the hospital.
We are not losing open space or detrimentally impacting our quality of life in Palo Alto. We are finally gaining world class hospital buildings to support the exceptional healthcare providers and researchers in our community.
I see this as a win for Palo Alto and would hope for strong support for a project that brings such great value to our community.

Diana Diamond's next to last paragraph reveals a basic confusion behind this discussion. Stanford Hospital is, as noted, a regional facility and the region *should* reasonably be expected to bear the costs of such a facility. However, that is not the way it works out: The relevant law and policies of the State of California have nothing to do with "reason." The State law fails to take into account the existence of regional facilities and imposes on the *immediate* locality the costs of this type of project. Thus Palo Alto taxpayers will effectively be subsidizing the medical care for residents of Atherton, Woodside, Los Altos Hills, ...
When Ms. Diamond writes "I, for one, would not want employee housing or bike path costs hiking up my medical bills." she fails to explain why she *does* want to pay even more via her taxes.
Stanford was well aware of the absurdity of State law and its impacts on Palo Alto, but chose to do nothing avoid the current situation, despite many years lead time. If Stanford regards these costs as so trivial that it can cavalierly and unilaterally attempt to impose them on Palo Alto, then why can't Stanford pay for them itself?
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Jun 6, 2007 at 6:38 am
Shouldn't the city of Palo Alto have done something if the law is so absurd? If it is a regional issue, isn't it the duty of the cities of the region to try to change the law if it is so absurd? Wouldn't a city trying to change the state law have more leverage than a hospital?
Maybe this is part of the areas problems--that the neighboring cities cannot work towards regional solutions to problems and instead are only interested in what is inside their own borders

The reason that the various cities in the area have not been able to get these absurdities addressed is that there are too many special interests, including Stanford, that make too much money off the current situation.
As an organization, in many areas is more like a city than a corporation (including having its own Post Office) and is on par with many of the area cities. Plus it has been very effective in lobbying the State to grant exceptions in areas such as this.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Jun 6, 2007 at 1:37 pm
I didn't realize that Palo Alto was a "victim" in all this. Stanford Hospital and clinics are a non-profit, so I am not sure how they are making money "off the current situation".
If people consider Stanford to be more like a city, then maybe they should be spun off from palo alto's control.
Posts like the one above--which foster the belief that relations with Stanford must be adversarial do not help. Please read some of the posts above from Otto and others with regard to how Stanford should be handled and how Palo Alto has benefited from Stanford Hospital and Clinics.

Stanford isn't "like a city" it IS a city.
It has about 19,000 students, thousands of staff, thousands of faculty, its own hospitals and shopping center, police and fire, roads, restaurants, and homes, and zip code.It produces its own energy.
According to the Stanford president:
With more than 46 miles of roads, a 49-megawatt power plant, two separate water systems, three dams and lakes, 78 miles of water mains, a central heating and cooling plant, a high-voltage distribution system and a post office, the university is a self-sustaining community. Stanford also provides or contracts for its own fire, police and other services.
There are more than 670 major buildings at Stanford that incorporate 13.1 million square feet. Ninety-five percent of undergraduates live on campus, as do nearly 60 percent of graduate students and 30 percent of faculty members. There are 850 owner-occupied housing units for faculty on campus, as well as 628 rental units for faculty and staff.

OK so basically I have 4 clips (different dudes) in other word I'm missing 1 clip to my "Top 5". Well fine 3 awesome clips and 1 not that bad (but I would love to get smth better since I wasn't amazed by it like other 3)
Anyone would like to "try his luck" and submit his clip?
Or maybe you don't mind if 1 would be from me? To be honest I rather not mix my clips with submissions cause that would be unfair to others specially if I would place it higher then #5
I can't tell you who s clips I'll be using cause what's the point doing the vid if I would tell that
Well I won't be around this weekend and I would like to make "Episode 4" from submissions (well I can make #4 from my clips and #5 from submissions if I won't get enough clips)
I feel like I'm grabbing a wild-goose chase with this whole "Top 5" . Maybe if I had more subscribers cause 1.500 subs and like "30 views" on vid is pathetic. Well fine I have more on others but I'm talking about my recent vids from TLoU (Let's Play" type of vids).
IF you know ANYONE who can record (preferred with something better then potato or toaster) LET THEM KNOW. SPREAD THE WORD !
I don't know... Like... SPAM others on youtube or something xD
If you saw my "Episode 3" for example you know I'm doing my best to make it as much professional and entertaining as it's possible

Iowa Democrat prayer: Thank God for abortionists!
posted at 7:21 pm on August 29, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
Hey, this could be progress. About time last year, the Democratic National Convention booed when the platform committee tried to backtrack and add a mention of God that had been earlier removed. In Iowa, at least Democrats have gone back to openly praying, but perhaps they should be hoping that God isn't listening:
They made the unusual decision, for Democrats, to begin the event with a prayer. This was likely in response to a prayer vigil being conducted by pro-life activists at the same time nearby.
Des Moines activist Midge Slater took the podium and spent five and a half minutes thanking God for abortion rights, abortion doctors and taxpayer funding for abortions. She also referred to the decision to have an abortion as "a blessing".
During the entire prayer, State Senator Jack Hatch and Rep. Tyler Olson, both of whom are running for governor, kept their heads bowed and eyes closed, joining in the group prayer.
The Iowa Republican transcribed a bit of the prayer, which goes on for quite a while:
"We give thanks, oh Lord, for the doctors, both current and future, who provide quality abortion care."
"We pray for increased financial support for low-income women to access contraception, abortion and childcare."
"Today, we pray for women in developing nations, that they may know the power of self-determination. May they have access to employment, education, birth control and abortion."
"Today we pray for the families who have chosen. May they know the blessing of choice."
Here's my favorite part, very obviously aimed at the pro-life demonstrators:
"We pray for women who have been made afraid by their paternalistic religion."
Afraid? For feminists, they don't seem to have much faith in women to decide for themselves whether to live as Christians and follow its tenets without fear forcing them into it. However, based on this prayer for blessings on abortions and the demand to spread it worldwide, I'd guess that they're less interested in faith than they are in their own political agendas anyway.
