New release: FF 60
How quickly the time has flown since FF 59, we can't quite believe it is release time again. With two new designs, two extensions and a myriad of updates we are delighted to introduce our latest release, FF 60.
The new designs
FF Marselis
From the designer of FF Cube and FF Speak comes FF Marselis. Jan Maack's newest design crossbreeds geometric and humanistic forms, creating a freshly dynamic sans serif family. All of the counters in the typeface are open; certain superfluous strokes have been eliminated – there are no spurs on the b or q, for instance.
Many designers chance upon using the same graphic shape for the lowercase 'a' and 'e' – indeed, the idea seems simple enough: just rotate the form 180° and you should be done! However, almost all attempts at this sort of theoretical simplification fail in practice. With FF Marselis, Jan Maack has found a key to making it work. Rather than whole letterforms, a tear-drop form repeats throughout the alphabet, not only in the bowl of the lowercase 'a' or 'e', but also in the 'k' and the uppercase 'Q'. Its distinct character makes FF Marselis a perfect choice for today's corporate and branding projects.
Introductory offer: You can get 50 % off any FF Marselis product (until 31 October 2012).
FF ThreeSix is a huge experimental optical type system consisting of six typefaces in eight weights, including four additional monospaced weights. It is the result of London-based Paul McNeil's and Hamish Muir's attempts to work within the restrictive rules of geometry to generate simple typographic forms emulating traditional type design principles, where a wide range of almost imperceptible compensatory optical tricks are used to create the illusion of evenness in the basic fabric of text.
The award-winning system – ISTD Premier Award and Certificate of Excellence – is based on a grid of 36 unit squares subdivided into 9 units and are constructed using only vertical or horizontal straight lines and circular arcs. Cap-height, x-height, ascent and descent measurements are consistent across all fonts and weights. The grid also determines character and word spacing, with all side-bearings and kerning pair values conforming to 9 unit increments.
As Wim Crouwel notes: 'It is a fascination for the use of geometric systems in design that has resulted in these remarkable typefaces.'
Updated and extended FontFonts

FF Meta Correspondence
Erik Spiekermann's best-known face is without doubt FF Meta. While it has proven its usability in almost any design task one can think of, its creator realized that it could be improved even more for use in the business world. The main features of the first version of FF Meta Correspondence included tabular figures (instead of oldstyle ones) and increased tracking, yet Spiekermann wanted to go a few steps further and take the typeface to another level.
Now, Erik Spiekermann and the FontFont team changed both proportions and shapes to a more robust style, removed contrast from accents and simplified forms and details to a more screen-friendly appearance. The very well-known lowercase g has been changed to a single-storey one, which is more common within the office environment. Above all, a set of useful arrows, icons, and office dingbats has been added. The resulting design is still FF Meta, but one that breathes Correspondence air.
The simplified forms and the high-quality screen optimization make FF Meta Correspondence a perfect typeface for use as a webfont or within the mobile environment.
New Office and Web FontFonts plus language extensions
Did you know our library contains over 2500 FontFonts? After a FontFont is released, the work doesn't stop, we continually tinker and update our beloved FontFonts to ensure that they are in tip-top condition and in the most up to date and useable formats. In FF 60, some of our earliest releases such as Just van Rossum's FF Advert, Ole Schäfer's FF Zine, and John Critchley's FF Child's Play have been brought up to date and now come in Office and Web formats.
All these faces have also been upgraded so that they are now also offered in Pro versions, meaning they now include more Latin-based languages (e.g. Polish, Turkish, Czech).

The a|ɑ-Team
Every now and then we are asked for typefaces containing alternative characters – the first letter of the alphabet is especially interesting in this respect as the Latin script knows two forms of the lower case a: the double-storey a is one of the most distinctive letters in a typeface while the single-storey a is rather neutral and decent. So you can considerably change the character of a typeface by simply swapping just one letter.
Thanks to OpenType both forms can be contained in one font and the user can easily switch between the two forms (in applications that support OT layout features, like Adobe's Creative Suite for instance). Many of the innovative FontFonts offer this opportunity:

New release: FF54
BERLIN, GERMANY, December 2010 – FSI FontShop International announced the latest additions to its award-winning FontFont® typeface library.
The new FontFonts
FF Basic Gothic — Due to its popularity online, Verdana has effectively become the basic sans serif. Yet in print it tends to looks too heavy and a little unwieldy. As a response to this FontFont releases FF Basic Gothic. Influenced by the early sans serif typefaces of the 19th century and developed for today's highest standards, it is a sans serif optimized for maximum legibility. With its functional, basic look, it is willful but pleasant at the same time. Inspired by the unique letter forms of Gill Sans and Antique Olive, designers Hannes von Döhren and Livius Dietzel searched for exceptional yet legible proportions. At the same time, the letters are stripped down to their basic forms, with precise curves and straight lines, making FF Basic Gothic extremely versatile for a multitude of applications.
Their extended weight range makes it interesting for corporate designers; TYPO Berlin 2011 already trusts on FF Basic Gothic (as well as on FF Scala). The type family performs especially well in small sizes, both in print and on the screen – thanks to the hinting experts of the FontFont Type Department.read more

Constitutional rights advocates sued the city of Lancaster on Tuesday to block a recently enacted ordinance banning registered sex offenders from going to - or even being near - the city's parks, movie theaters and other public and private locations.
"The ordinance basically violates the state and federal constitutions, and fails to protect public safety," said Janice Bellucci, president of a group called California Reform Sex Offender Laws.
"The purpose of the ordinance is to protect kids, but most children who are sexually assaulted are not assaulted by (registered) sex offenders but members of their family, teachers, coaches and members of the clergy," she said. "Also, most sexual assaults of children do not occur in public places but in very private places like homes and schools."
Lancaster city officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The ordinance, which took effect in October after being unanimously approved by the Lancaster City Council, imposes restrictions on registered sex offenders that go above and beyond those imposed by state law.
It prohibits registered sex offenders from coming within 300 feet of certain public and private locations in Lancaster, including the city's library, museum and parks, as well as privately owned movie theaters and arcades.
Bellucci said the ordinance would effectively kick registered sex offenders out of downtown Lancaster. She contended the restrictions violate the First, Fifth and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, which protect the right to peaceably assemble and the right to due process.
"People who are on the registry have already paid their debt to society and have already been deemed safe by law enforcement; otherwise, they wouldn't have been released from prison," Bellucci said. "What Lancaster is doing is continuing their punishment."
Other provisions in the ordinance allow only one registered sex offender to reside in a home, hotel, motel or inn. It also prohibits them from decorating their homes and answering the door to children on Halloween.
The city of Lake Forest in Orange County repealed its own additional restrictions on registered sex offenders Tuesday night, after Bellucci's organization also threatened it with a federal lawsuit.

However, with the integration of light and dark colours, often white and navy blue, Lim has managed to create a line that represents subtle chic and the new essence of the youth. This contemporary application of classical designs has managed to pervade the modern "hipster" culture, and has already begun to gain international acclaim.

Greek yogurt is all the rage in the dairy aisle and General Mill's Yoplait brand of the popular product and other new items made meaningful contribution to the company's second quarter sales.
General Mills singled out new products such as Yoplait Greek and Greek 100 calorie yogurts, Nature Valley protein bars, Peanut Butter Multigrain Cheerios and Progresso Recipe Starters sauces as making the strongest contributions to sales during the second quarter ended November 25. Other products making meaningful contributions included Lucky Charms and Chex cereals, Fiber One 90 calorie snack bars, Totino's frozen snacks and Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls.
The company said its total sales increase 6% to nearly $4.9 billion and operating profits increased nearly 10% to $959 million and net earnings increased 21.8% to $542 million.
"Our U.S. Retail segment posted gains in pound volume, net sales and operating profit," said Ken Powell, General Mill's chairman and CEO. "The Bakeries and Foodservice segment generated strong double-digit operating profit growth. And our International segment recorded good sales and profit growth for established businesses in addition to the incremental contributions from Yoki and Yoplait Canada."
Sales at the U.S. Retail segment increased 2% to nearly $3 billion, but operating profits increase 9% to $723 million.
Looking ahead, the company expects inflation in the 2% to 3% range with this past summer's drought expected to modestly increase second-half inflation rates.
"As we move into the second half, the global operating environment remains challenging," Powell said. "We are working to build on our good performance year-to-date. We're launching a promising slate of new products in our core U.S. market. And we have strong levels of advertising and in-store merchandising planned to support new and existing products in markets worldwide."

Reviews for this host's other properties
Great appartment & organization of our host!
very nice place close to everywhere I recommend
This is a lovely apartment, conveniently located in Nice. Salvatore was very helpful throughout the booking process and even offers a collection service from the airport direct to the apartment which also served as the check-in process. Despite our flights arriving earlier than check-in time, we were able to access the apartment earlier which we really appreciated. The apartment was clean and well-furnished. The only issue we had was the building works in the building, which started very early each day, but this is no fault of Salvatore or the team. Would be very happy to recommend. Slept 6 of us very comfortably.
We had a great holiday in Nice during Easter 2016.
The apartment is really nice, exactly as described, in a quiet position; I absolutely recommend it, especially for a short period (in my opinion, 4 people, especially if adults, in that apartment are not really comfortable at 100%).
It's 10 minutes far from Promenade des Anglais. Near the apartment are available supermarket, bakery, pharmacy ecc.
Salvatore and his cousin are affable and helpful.
Free to choose this apartment, you will not regret !!!
Nice appartement. Very friendly contact :-)
We had to pick up the keys at another location than the apartment; the boy was friendly and helpful.
We were disappointed about the apartment.
Very bad smell when we entered.
The apartment was not clean; floors were sticky and dirty.
Kitchen: bad smell came from the cooker hood.
Toilet did not functioning properly.
Pillows were not clean
Bed linen and towels crammed in a plastic supermarket bag.
Nice appartement in Nice. Big enough, good kitchen, two beds a bit old fashioned.
There was one bedlinen missing, the brought it himself the next day.
The smell was a bit curious, we opened the windows for fresh air. In the night we heard upstairs the TV, wich forced us to drink enough wine to fall a sleep.
Good place to stay in the center of Nice. We enjoyed it very much.
The apartment is very nice and located in a strategic point to visit all the city for both business and tourism. Salvatore was very helpful and really friendly.
Perfect! Great location in old town and just 2 minutes to Promenade. The appartment is furnished well and was just suitable for us (we stayed 7 nights). Salvatore is very helpful. Nothing to complain for!
nice apartment, great localisation, everything excellent!!! highly recommended!!!

I have 2 hives. Yesterday early morning when it was still a bit brisk out, hive 2 had some bearding on it. Popped the lid to peek thru my screened inner board and you could barely see any of the tops of the frames - meaning, no space between bees hardly at all - on tops of the frame. Couldn't see anything down between frames. I had to be at work shortly, so I threw on another medium with all new frames. My thoughts were they've run out space. My other hive (#1) had an extra medium on it from last year, with honey and empty frames alternated. So I know that hive had room to expand, they were not exhibiting this behavior, and there was still some room visible in it.
I will be able to inspect tomorrow to tell more, but ITMT does this seem "pre-swarm-ish"? Did I make a good decision to expand? When I open tomorrow, should I alternate empty frames with honey, and is now a good time to reverse? Running in the 70s and 80s all week with lows from 40s to 60s. Unusually warm for this period. THANKS!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Hello and welcome! Post some pictures of the '49!
New Rodder excited to going the forum
Hello everyone. For an intro about myself, I have been building muscle cars since 1995 as my hobby. I have worked on GM muscle from the 60s and 70s. I have always wanted to get into some of the older rods but have never been able to find the right car at the right price until recently. I came across a 49 Plymouth 2 door coupe that was sitting in a shed parked in the dark for the last 40 years! It was still titled to the original owner (I bought it from his daughter) and had 3800 original miles on it! I am doing a full custom build on it and aside from a few rat nests, it has held up very well. Extremely little rust and the black paint still shines when polished up! I am excited for this build as I have never had a car older that 1965. This is also my first Mopar car, so I appreciate any help and or tips that can be tossed my way. I also hope that I may be able to share a few of my nuggets of car knowledge with some of you.

Africa Water Week
"It's time for water," said UN-Water Chair, Michel Jarraud, at the opening of Africa Water Week this week in Dakar, Senegal. Over thousand delegates were expected at this fifth edition to seek solutions to Africa's water resources, and sanitation challenges.
Thanking the African Ministers Council on Water, the African Union Commission and Senegal for organizing the event, Mr. Jarraud said that water issues are getting increasing attention - both in civil society and in the political realm. "Our common voice is starting to get heard," he stated before giving a presentation on the importance of prioritizing water in the post-2015 agenda.
"While the outcome of the intergovernmental negotiations is uncertain, the United Nations system needs to stand ready to support Member States in achieving a possible water goal whether it's in monitoring and/or in implementation," Mr. Jarraud said and expressed the benefits of wide partnerships, support for research, capacity development and long-term commitment for monitoring progress.

Broncos fans waited 15 years; ready for Super Bowl win
Super Bowl XLVIII could be Denver Broncos third Championship
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Three people years apart in age have on hope in mind: that the Denver Broncos will win Super Bowl XLVIII.
At 15, 61, and 85-years-old respectively, three fans in Colorado Springs have been waiting 15 years to see their beloved Broncos bring home a Super Bowl win again.
15-year-old Joey Crochet was wearing his Super Bowl XXXIII jersey on Saturday. He was only 11 months old when the Denver Broncos won the Super Bowl in 1998. Joey was too young to remember that day, but Sunday (2/2/14) will be his first chance to catch his team win it all.
"I was watching replays of Super Bowl XXXII, Super Bowl XXXIII and now to actually be a part of it, seeing it happen live, it's really special," said Crochet.
He may be one of the most die hard Broncos fans for 15. Joey's entire bedroom is decked out in Broncos gear. He even has a hat signed by John Elway.
There are other fans who might have him beat, though.
"It is the greatest feeling in the world," said 61-year-old Suzanne DeRungs.
DeRungs doesn't have as much paraphernalia, but she's been on the Broncos side since 1976.
"My husband and I used to always say think they're going to the Super Bowl. I think they're going to win it," said DeRungs.
Her husband, Donald, died in 2010, but she said his spirit lives on through a Broncos blanket.
"I just feel like he's that much closer because I know he's enjoying this football," she said.
Myrtle McNally is 85. She's been a Broncos fan for 22 years.
"I'm not gonna say it will be the last. I'm gonna say it could be the last at my age. So far I still know up from down. So I'm in hopes I get to watch another one," said McNally.
Whether young or old, watching Super Bowl XLVIII will be a day all three will never forget.
"I always thought what if I got to see the Broncos win as an early birthday present," said Crochet.
"I can't wait for tomorrow's game. I really can't," said Derungs.
"I'm gonna cheer them on and there's no doubt they're going to win," said McNally. "I will always, always remember them."

Sometimes the simple ideas are the best ones. That's what EzyMilk founders Richard Tiddy and Tim Shaffett are hoping.
The pair have developed the EzyCup, a device they say has many benefits in the milking shed.
Dr Tiddy, a veterinary consultant, first met Mr Shaffett, the inventor, on referral from Christian business network Business Edge.
Mr Shaffett is an American who came to New Zealand on holiday 20 years ago and never left. He admits he had no real experience in farming, apart from working as a casual milker to help a dairy-farmer friend during the busy period.
Mr Shaffett immediately found cupping repetitive and exhausting, and thought there had to be a better way to reduce the number of movements required to fit the cups.
His first idea was to connect all four cups using a plastic plate with holes cut in it. That didn't work, and he put the idea away until he thought of connecting cups with a more flexible device.
Mr Shaffett explained his concept to Dr Tiddy, who immediately saw the potential.
They calculated that a dairy farmer of 20 years, milking twice a day in a large shed, would make about 25 million movements changing 5 million to 7 million sets of cups.
Using EzyCups reduces the workload by about a third on average.
That was about a year ago, and the pair have put in thousands of hours of testing and progressed through 12 designs before launching the final product recently.
To improve marketability in the main dairying regions, EzyCups come in three colours - red, yellow and black - and can be assembled in any combination depending on your allegiance to Waikato, Taranaki or Canterbury.
"Blue is also available for second-tier teams," they joke.
But the developers say it is a serious product that has even more benefits than just reducing physical stress on the milker.
The cups can be fit to a range of cluster brands, to either one one or both pairs of cups, and adjusted to suit different styles of sheds and milking techniques.
They speed up milking, reduce cup slip, give better milk flow and the pair believe they are gentler on the animal's teat.
Cups fitted with EzyCups don't lie on the floor as readily when removed, which could improve milk quality.
Farmers report the EzyCups are easier on staff's shoulders, produce quicker milkings and better-quality milk.
Before patenting the technology, Dr Tiddy and Mr Shaffett did extensive international research and found there was nothing else like their product around.
Mr Shaffett also returned to the United States to attend the World Dairy Expo and was heartened by response to the product. He says American dairying is on a much different and larger scale than New Zealand, but sees the EzyCups being of benefit there also.
The pair are so confident in their product they are offering to do a complete install for local farmers and give them a seven-day trial.
EzyMilk is now advertising for salespeople to join the team, with the ultimate aim of going international. APN News & Media

McCormick Produce Partners Sour Cream & Chive Potato Mash - $1.89 for 40g
I found this sachet in a little basket among the potatoes at my supermarket. The name "Produce Partners" refers to the fact that you can mix this sachet of powder in with your mashed potatoes to get a sour cream and chive potato mash. "Just add: 800g potatoes, 125ml milk, 1 tbsp butter" it says on the packet.
Surely, I thought to myself, I could also just add a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of chives and achieve the same thing.
Ingredients (in order of greatest quantity first)
Maltodextrin - This is a form of sugar obtained by hydrolysis of the starches maltol and dextrin. It provides a sweet taste in processed foods.
Beverage whitener [Vegetable fat, glucose syrup solids, milk protein, emulsifiers (471,472e), mineral salts (340,451), riboflavin, anti-caking agent (554) - This is basically a liquid that emulates creamy milk by using oil and milk protein. In the US, people often use this substance instead of milk or cream in their coffee. Also in this product are the emulsifiers mono and diglycerides of fatty acids (471) and fatty acid esters of glycerol (472e) as well as mineral salts potassium phosphate (340) and diphosphate (451). Riboflavin is a vitamin B2 often used in processed foods as a food colour. And there is the anti-caking agent sodium alumina-silicate (554).
So we have nine ingredients imitating milk.
Sour Cream powder [(17 per cent)(milk solids, food acids (270, 330), culture)] - Milk solids are left over when you take the water out of milk. The food acids in here are lactic acid (270) and citric acid (330). The ingredient culture is interesting as technically a culture is alive, as in a yoghurt or real sour cream and would surely be not up to much in a powder such as this.
Salt - Quite a lot of salt in here, one 10g serve of this powder will give you 677mg of sodium.
Potato starch - Presumably this is in here to help thicken the mashed potatoes when you stir in this sachet.
Dextrose - This is another name for corn syrup, a sweet syrup prepared from cornstarch.
Yeast extract - This will be in here to provide a meaty flavour.
Sugar - For flavouring.
Onion - For flavouring.
Chives (1 per cent) - For flavouring.
Soy bean oil
Food acid (malic) - This is found naturally in fruits and has a strong acid taste.
Spice flavour - It says on the packet that there are no artificial flavours in this packet so I have to assume this is a natural flavour even though it is not labelled as such.
My recommendations
If I want my mashed potatoes to taste like sour cream and chives I'll just add sour cream and chives, not the 25 additives found in this packet. Yes, there is sour cream powder in here but it makes up just 17 per cent of the 40g packet or 6.8g.
However, I don't want to add beverage whitener to my already white and nicely mashed potatoes, nor do I want to add flavour, colour and the many other ingredients it takes to keep this powder from caking, to keep it dry and mixed together and to preserve it.
Instead invest in some real sour cream (125g for $1.59) and dried chives ($2.24 for 5g) and you'll have enough to make two meals of sour cream and chive potato mash and it'll only cost you 5 cents more than buying two sachets of this product.
It's not like you even have to do much to them, just throw them in.
Takes 25 ingredients to imitate two ingredients: a dollop of sour cream and chives.
No artificial colours, flavours or MSG.
Quite high in salt at 677mg per 10g serve of powder.

It is true that there are people who complained about Chanflation (particularly the haters) and these people are now jumping for joy that he didn't win and was beaten. But Patrick must know how to differentiate between the sincere and hypocritical critics. This is part of growing up and learning about the real world and people. I will listen to those who are sincere and stick my middle finger at those hypocrites. (Alright Patrick, don't listen to me. I can stick my middle finger but you cannot do it.... yet). Emdee will tell us whether Patrick will show off Dean's hat program this weekend.

This is more of a Rant than anything else, but we may all be subject to it sooner or later.
My bees came yesterday; the post office called my house and left 3 different msgs. I commute a long distance to work, so I was planning on getting them when I got home, which is roughly 10 minutes before the post office closes.
I was picking up 3 packages; I don't know if it's standard, but Rossman in Georgia sends them 3 in a row, in a very impressive frame. The post-person brought them out, at arms length. The first thing I noticed when he brought them out was the fact that 2 very large, very red, BOLD print labels that said "THIS END UP" were facing... me.
He had a bunch of questions, I was in a hurry and simply did a cursory inspection; I order 3 pound packages, so there is a lot going on, I saw activity in each cage, signed off on them, and ran out the door.
My daughter noticed as we were on our way home there seemed to be a lot of dead bees in the center box. When I finally got home and inspected the box more carefully, I noticed about 75% of the bees in that box were in fact dead, in a gooey sticky mass in the corner of the box. I am assuming the syrup leaked out fast enough to congeal the bees and smother/drown them, as there was syrup all inside this box.
Why is it so hard to do your job? You would think "This End UP" would be some kind of postal edict or something. I admit, I'm guilty of ignoring the same message on the side of something like a refrigerator box when transporting it, but these are live creatures.
I care nothing about the cost, or even my lost honey production but I do care the simple loss of "life". They went in a box in Georgia and were murdered before they even had a chance for Mother Nature to test their ability. If I lose them to swarms, disease, or simple absconding FINE, that's nature. This is simple human ignorance.
Now for input, on the issue, chime in if you care to share. I don't know if the queen is affected, I plan to try to load them either this evening or tomorrow. I have 2 hives that seem to be swarming daily. Could I "Steal" a couple of frames of bees from an existing hive and drop them in with this hobbled package?
Had I had a little more experience, I could have split these two hives several times and come up with what I wanted. It's been fun and not just a little adventurous trapping swarms, dropping them into new hives, only to go back and find them gone.
Whew, now I feel better. Been waiting all night to unload that thanks for reading.

I have the opportunity to pick up a couple of nucs around 9 pm or the next morning around 10am. Either way I will pick up the nucs and deliver them to my farm immediatly after picking them up.
What's better?
Pick up the nucs at 9 pm Friday from the delivery truck, transport to the farm and unblock the nuc entrance beside it's hive during the late evening (11 pm) so I can move them into their permanent hive early the next morning
Allow the nucs to remain on the delivery truck overnight, pick them up around 10 am Saturday, move them to the farm and set them by their hive at noon. I guess I would move frames latter that afternoon or the next morning.

Flying the American Flag on Memorial Day
Original post made by R. Donan, Old Palo Alto, on May 31, 2006
What the flag represents:
It represents justice and liberty for all Americans.
To the military, it represents a vowed duty to protect the people of this land, and to be willing to lay down their lives to serve their country.
For immigrants, the flag represents freedom to practice their religion, freedom to pursue an education and to get ahead in life. It also means liberty and justice.
For so many people living all over the world, it represents a dream of hope that they hold onto in their country, while awaiting to immigrate.
The flag also represents freedom to express oneself; to vote, to protest, and to voice one's political opinions.
The flag represents the 13 colonies, and the 50 states of the United States of America, and all of its citizens who have immigrated from all over the world.
It represents democracy!
Surely, from this rather short list, each American can relate and connect, in a positive way, to the American flag.
Personally, the flag represents my right to vote. It also reminds me of my brother who serves his country where ever he is deployed in the world. The flag represents my family who've immigrated to this country from Europe and Asia. To my grandparents and mother, it represents freedom from Nazi Germany during WWII.
I hope that Americans aren't connecting the flag to politics or to elected officials, because the flag does not represent politicians, it represents you, me, and every American citizen in this country and what we the people believe in.

I totally agree! I'm out of my house for a renovation project, but if I were home, I'd be flying Old Glory.

I believe that many of us here who are very cognizant of what is going on oversees and how the president is handling the war. I believe in supporting our troops, but many of us are embarrased by how much wrong the white house has been involved in.

Whenever I go back to the old PA neighborhoods, I feel sad for all us who were pushed out by the those who were, and, or pursuing the great American dream. Owning, and selling a home for PROFIT!
I served in the USN after graduating from Paly (1977), and when I returned to PA with a sailors uniform on, I was outcasted by many of home owners who were flying the old glory.
Think again about what the flag stands for!
To me, it stands for those feel comfortable buying multi millon dollar homes, and fly the flag to show that they are free and very rich!
Maybe if the past generation passed the many rent control, and housing control bills back in the 60's and 70's, you would see more of the American flag flying on the front porch!
Wake up everyone. Palo Alto is home of the RICH, not the free!

Barack Obama's presidential campaign was successful in part because he was able to cleverly negotiate and navigate the battles that have plagued the United States the last few years: the culture wars and constant red-state/blue-state bickering. Now, though, his leadership style is being placed at the center of a newly discovered confrontation, one whose rivalry dates back at least 100 years.
About a month ago, Noam Scheiber had a piece in the New Republic attributing many of the stylistic differences between Barack Obama and Bill Clinton to the fact that the former attended Harvard Law School and the latter Yale Law School. I'm sure that, when most non-lawyers hear of this conflagration, they yawn and wonder how, in this time of crisis, Harvard vs. Yale could be relevant to anyone. But as someone who graduated from Yale Law and once taught a course or two at Harvard, I think there's something to Scheiber's thesis. And, despite the surface snobbishness of such a debate, it says something important about this administration's approach to our problems — and how that might cause trouble for the country.
Obama is, of course, a product of Harvard Law, and his books document the important influence of his Crimson experience. He has gone on to populate his administration with fellow Harvard Law grads and current profs, from former dean Elena Kagan to Cass Sunstein.
But the bottom line is this: if Scheiber is right in his initial thesis, what the times call for is a Yalie, not a Harvard man (or woman). He argues that different institutions produce different kinds of leaders, just as the military produces a different leadership style than, say, the political world. In a unique crisis like the present one, it makes all the difference what a leader's intellectual instincts are. And, taking off from where Scheiber began, it may well be that, at least now, Obama has exactly the opposite instincts we need.
It all has to do with how each of these two major institutions structures its approach to legal education and public policy. According to Scheiber, the much smaller Yale sees its mission (or at least it did when Clinton was there) to encourage its students to be more creative — "to unlock students' innate brilliance in an atmosphere of freedom, intimacy, and intellectual ferment." And, Scheiber writes, as president, "Clinton was everything you'd want from a good Yale Law student: creative, deep-thinking, engrossed by public policy. But his White House was chaotic."
In contrast, Scheiber wrote, Harvard was more formulaic and traditional, priding "itself on instilling discipline . . . [It] was, in certain respects, a three-year hazing ritual." And Obama "absorbed the dispassionate, conservative, relentlessly logical mode of analysis a Harvard legal education was meant to convey."
It's certainly true, despite what Schieber writes, that the two schools are not that easily categorizable; there are plenty of Harvard types attending Yale or teaching there, and vice versa. And there is a bit of student self-selection that gives each school its personality: the kind of students who would turn down the better known Harvard to go to Yale are probably more apt to be a bit more non-traditional than their Cambridge counterparts. Certainly that may have been the case with both Clinton and Obama, who undoubtedly embodied some of the traits of their law schools long before they got there.

Freakin Nazis..
email sent.
At its next meeting on Monday, January 7, the Burlington City Council will consider a gun ban that targets semi-automatic firearms and opens the door to other harmful Second Amendment restrictions.
Good Lord,,, Here we go again. My damn finger tips are going to wear out pretty soon with all this typing. What part of the Constitution don't these people seem to understand???
I'll be starting,,,,, anouther,,,,, partition to call for his removal from office and I think each and everyone else should start doing the same in your state with, your local,, gun grabbers.
If you really want to retain these rights it's not time to sit back and do nothing, that's for damn sure. Put the fire to every single politicians feet and keep them off balance by the outcry against them or you won't even be able to have a cap gun. The only thing they understand is the "squeaky wheel" sindrome,,, time to get squeaking!!!!
Things aren't looking good when even here in Vt you have the politicians starting to get on the anti gun bandwagon.
We really,, are ,,,in a fight for our rights,, I fear. There's no doubt that one of these scumb balls will finally push someone ,,,Just Far Enough,,, and someone will snap and take one of them out.
Then all hell will break loose, just you watch. It's getting crazier every day.
I honestly think the end of this country as we know it may very well be at hand,, not only from the restricting of our gun rights ,, but all our rights,, the guns are just the first step in turning us into subjects unable to defend our self's.
Hang on folks ,, it's going to be a bumpy ride!
Stack it high and bury it deep ,,,,I'm thinking will be the future of our sport if these idiots don't stop and think for one moment. There just might be another civil war if they don't watch out, freedom loving people are only going to be pushed so far.
Well Went to the meeting,, couldn't get in as expected , but I was able to get a handle on what was going on from those inside, by hearing the recordings they made and first hand accounts.
There was some "hub bub" outside with the usual screaming obnoxious "rainbow" crowd that you see at every local protest about,,,, anything.
I kinda stayed on the side lines and observed both sides and listened,,sense there were a few agitators in the crowd. While I was there I observed a group waving signs in favor of the proposed new laws, and screaming like idiots. I kinda hovered around some just to hear what they were talking about. What a bunch of morons!!!! They were talking through there ass using all the usual BS talking points. Strange you didn't see that type of behavior from the pro gun camp!! Just American flags and a couple posters and a copy of the constitution being handed out by our side with no confrontations. The rainbow crowd was in people's face screaming at them. I saw one get knocked on there ass by someone that took offense by it. A fat ass,, pig looking, butch,, bitch too!! NICE!!!! Very funny CHIT!!!! I explained respectfully to the officer what I saw as well as others did,,,,long story short,,,,, butch bitch,,, got hauled away in cuffs,,,,YEA!!!!!!
Once things cleared out for a bit they, (the rainbow crowd), decided they were grossly out numbered so they formulated a plan as to what they were going to do with the rest of there evening. Sense they couldn't adgitate any more around there. I heard the comment by them,,,"lets go get a sandwich at Subway, than we can go burn a couple bowls and go to the bar",,,,!! A couple three said,, "they didn't have any bucks for a sandwich, to which others replied,, Don't worry Subway takes EDP cards" and you can get cash back there to to go to the bar with later !!!! DON'T YA JUST LOVE IT ????
Well that's the opposition crowd,,, folks,,, surprised ?? They don't give a shit about any particular issue,,, they just like to be obnoxious,, they succeeded in that!!! Very Well, and showed there ignorance quite well. They even had some of the other anti's giving them a wide berth buy the time everyone left.
Unfortunately,,,,,The resolution passed by city council vote,,,even though 75% of people there were apposed to it,,???? Guess they had an agenda and there was no way what anyone had to say was going to make a difference it was predetermined already. It still has to go through one more vote and be voted on by the people of BLT. We'll see what happens.
But that's the skinny from the scene folks,,,, back to you Jane,,, more breaking news as it happens.!!!!
I guess it's time to drop off my 2 AK's and accessories at the gun shop or on GB and put them on consignment. I really don't care for them all that much anyhow, and I'll never get as much for them as I can right now. There selling 410 Sagias for $1150 here right now,, I saw one come out of the box and be put on the shelf while I was picking up some reloading supplies,, and by the time I got to the register to check out,, someone was already doing the paperwork on it,,,, It wasn't on the shelf more than 30 minutes,,,, WOW!!! Wished I'd bought 20 of them junks to sell before they went nuts!! I think I'm going to make a better profit on these now than I've ever made on anything else before! Might's as well be a gouger just like the rest,, better than having them banned and getting 5 cents on the dollar for them later.
Thank you for the report twa. Interesting. So the commies won?
Strange, for a minute their I thought I was reading an article from 1774.
Did they not listen too the people? Do they not understand they work for the people? Do they not understand this country is not a Democracy, where they make the rules?
It is a Republic, where they listen too their constituents and the majority rules.
Oh well, they must not have said the "Pledge of Allegiance" they would have heard the word..
Good luck, thank you for the report. Keep yer powder dry.
Welcome Home Brother.

Report: Six Strikes Piracy Plan a Nightmare for Landlords, Businesses
Jason Mick
December 4, 2012 5:03 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Ambiguity will lead to the innocent suffering alongside the guilty, argues report
magazine's Matt Peckham has offered up
a compelling argument
on why the upcoming "six strikes" plan is fundamentally flawed. "Six Strikes" is the term bandied about for the
voluntary collaboration
by internet service providers (ISPs) and big media groups like the
Motion Picture Association of America
to "educate" users on the "dangers" of piracy.
The proposal -- unlike past efforts like the
failed SOPA
-- does not involve the government. And it does not involve
internet "capital punishment"
-- termination of paying customers. But if customers are found pirating by MarkMonitor -- the group contracted by the
Center for Copyright Information
(CCI) to filter ISP traffic looking for P2P streams with infringed IP -- ISPs will be liable to either slow users connections or force them to take "classes" to regain access to the connection.
The move is a win for ISPs; they'll likely be able to provide a lesser degree of service to many of their customers while claiming it's in the noble name of "intellectual property protection". Reduced service means
less bandwidth and data consumed
, which in turn means cost savings, which in turn means more profit.
And big media is clinging to the notion that if it can just get some habitual pirates to abandon their foul ways, they'll instead turn to legally buying all sorts of content, triggering a golden age of media profits.
Of course there's little signs of that being the case -- pirates actually tend to already be the biggest buyers of
content, so it seems relatively unlikely they'll buy
if forced to forgo their pirating.
Piracy warnings might sound good on paper, but a major issue is how to track the true offenders and who should be forced to pay for that tracking.
What's more, Mr. Peckham poses an intriguing scenario of why the current IPv4 based plan in simply too dumb to work. He comments:
My condo complex (I'm an owner) has 48 units. It was built in 2003, so it's relatively new. At the time, the builders had the foresight to wire each unit with Ethernet — a drop in each room, everything connected back to aggregate wire closets. Near my front door (and all the front doors of all the units) is a mini-wire closet with a switch/hub that connects my unit to a central switch/hub in a locked room on the property.
That, in turn, plugs into a high-speed cable modem — a cable modem that's shared across all 48 units. We're technically shielded from each other using a special box that "firewalls" each private IP and can control how much bandwidth it's allocated, etc. Whether we elect to use it or pay for our own service instead, all 48 units have access to this shared Internet.
He argues that for business owners or owners of residential units (like himself), the plan will create a nightmarish scenario of new costs and enforcement responsibilities, in which ultimately the innocent may suffer along with the guilty. He writes:
You can probably see where I'm headed. With "six strikes," any of the residents in the complex who — knowingly or unknowingly — engage in an act of copyright violation, could incur an alert. Who's going to see that alert? Probably me, as the technical contact for the ISP (that or our property management company, at which point it'll route back to me).
At this point I'm not sure what happens. The IP address MarkMonitor's software is going to see, presumably, is our public one, not the private address of the device that's been singled out on our condo complex's network. How do we identify the perpetrator? Should we identify the perpetrator? If our ISP says we're in violation, is it incumbent on us to run our own tracking software, somehow, to identify the person(s) involved? Are we supposed to somehow issue these warnings ourselves, since the ISP won't technically be able to?
See the problem? Who's responsible for each infraction? Who should be punished? The entire complex, by throttling or at some point terminating our Internet service? Each unit in the complex pays for shared Internet equally as part of our monthly association fees. We're not a business — there's no CEO. The few of us who manage the Internet on behalf of the rest can't act unilaterally to preempt potential infractions by blocking aspects of the service by introducing content filters the way a private company might.
He also takes the ISP/media union to task for failing to transparently disclose full details of the plan and how it will work. He says the collaborators decision to force consumers to "reverse-engineer" their rights is a big "transparency issue".
The plan, as he points out, has been
temporarily delayed
by the CCI as the power outages from Hurricane Sandy set back the MarkMonitor's testing of the scheme on trial partner networks.

But as the delayed system moves forward to rolling out in weeks to come, one has to wonder how many scenarios like the one Mr. Peckham laid out might occur. If they do, the wrath will likely largely be shouldered by the ISP, and they may find themselves losing paying customers.
And when things reach that point one has to wonder whether the fragile union between the content hording big media and the service providers will be capable of surviving the financial friction.

Easy Community Project in Stuart
Cause Areas
WhenIt's flexible! We'll work with your schedule.
Where119 Front StStuart, IA 50250
This is an easy project for organizations, groups or a couple of individuals. It does not require a lot of people.
You will work with Goodwill to hold a donation drive in your town. You can pick the dates and hours for the donation trailer to be open. Many communities hold the donation drive in conjunction with their city-wide garage sale days or a special local event. Typically the trailer is open a couple of hours on Friday night, several hours on Saturday and a few on Sunday. However, that is up to you and your group. We do ask that the trailer be open at least 8 hours while it is in town.
We will usually bring a semi-trailer and leave it over a Friday, Saturday and Sunday for a donation drive. Hopefully, you can help us find a spot where we can park the trailer for that time. If not we will work to find one.
Next we need volunteers,individuals or groups, willing to oversee the donation trailer while it is in town. This will mean opening and closing the trailer and handing out donation receipts while the trailer is open and accepting donations.It does not mean you have to handle all the donations. There will be a ramp or stairs for the donors to take the items up into the truck.
You will be helping to provide a great service to your community by offering a convenient and easy way for local families and businesses to donate items. You will also be helping the environment. Goodwill Industries of Central Iowa recycles over 22 million pounds annually. So, even if Goodwill can't use the items in our stores we can keep most of them out of the local landfills through our recycling programs.
The donations collected will help change lives by supporting Goodwill programs that provide training and education to individuals with barriers.

Missoula runner tells Boston Marathon story
MISSOULA, Mont. - Monday NBC Montana spent the day calling Montana runners who were signed up to run the Boston Marathon.
The Boston Marathon website shows 41 runners from around the state registered.
In our viewing area a number of people were running, including seven from Missoula, two from Kalispell, one from Superior and one from Huson.
Vo Von Sehlen and his wife Jen, both avid Missoula runners, were just 350 yards away when the explosions rocked the finish line.
Von Sehlen, a former NBC Montana colleague, called our station Monday evening to tell us that he was OK and fills us in on his story.
"We knew that something was wrong because you could have heard a needle drop to the ground…and it was really eerie at that moment," recalled Von Sehlen.
He told us he and his wife thought the loud blast might have been a celebratory cannon.
"The noise level of the spectators went down about half and then about five or six seconds later there was another explosion," said Von Sehlen.
He tells NBC Montana his first thought was safety.
"We thought 'OK, what's the safest thing for us to do now to get away from this' because we didn't know how many more there might be," said Von Sehlen.
He tells us police stopped runners, sirens and smoke filled the air and he and his wife realized patchy cell phone service was going to make it impossible to call for help.
"Traffic was an absolute nightmare so we just started walking -- not knowing exactly where we are because we've never been there -- for several hours," he said.
Following the explosions the city was shut down, public transportation was unavailable and having just finished a 26-mile marathon Von Sehlen and his wife found themselves without a ride home.
They walked for nearly five hours until their host family was able to pick them up. Von Sehlen tells us there was a lot going through his mind.
"The very first thing, because I just finished a marathon, and my balance was really not there I was like 'Please don't push me over and trample me to death,'" he said.
Von Sehlen told us he can't believe a day meant for fun and families turned into such a nightmare.
"My heart really goes out -- and my prayers -- to the victims and families," said Von Sehlen.
NBC Montana has personally confirmed six of the seven runners from Missoula are safe and the seventh likely didn't make it to the race.
We also spoke to Dr. Richard Briles, of Kalispell, who finished the race and got out of the area before the explosions occurred.

Edward McShane goes Voyage-Air
Edward... who?
Okay, turns out that Edward McShane is a guitar aficionado : a guitar nut that really appreciates the finest qualities, and the most subtle details of an acoustic guitar. Now, he's a big fan of Voyage-Air guitars.
He recently sent us this note:
"Dear Voyage-Air:
"I can't recall ever writing a company praising their product – even the great ones – but the Voyage-Air guitar is a special case for me. I think any guitar-loving addict like me would feel the same way.
"It is all about being able to take a great sounding guitar with you in the overhead storage rather than having it languish with the luggage and in the baggage bowels of airports.
"I interviewed all the "travel" guitars that were in stock at the San Francisco Guitar Center. They were all wanting of a decent guitar sound. Then, the salesman told me that they recently had a full sized folding neck guitar that really did sound great and that really could be easily folded and put back into play again (with a little tuning.) He said Guitar Center had the guitars on order but I didn't want to wait so I took a chance and ordered the Voyage-Air VAD-2 dreadnaught model online: sight unseen and unheard!
"I figured I would return the guitar if it didn't meet my quality standards.
"I should state here that I have a forty year old Martin D-35 and a Taylor 12 string. I may not have "golden-ears" but I do know what a quality guitar sounds like.
"My new Voyage-Air passed the audition with flying colors. The sound is very good and will only get better with age. The construction and materials are quality, and I can take it anywhere.
"My excitement over this guitar reminds me of when I purchased the first generation iPod: finally I was able to conveniently take my music with me – just like I can now take my guitar with me.
"For a lover of music and guitar playing, who could ask for anything more?
"Now I'm thinking about that electric Voyage-Air.

New FontFont map
Five years ago we made this handy wall map, with the help from our friends at Punchcut. Since then, our library grew further, so we did it again. Welcome the FontFont Map 2011. You will even find FontFonts that have not yet been published, but will be out by the end of this year.
The FontFont Map sheds new light on the collection, making it easier to find the most suitable face among a cast of thousands. Breaking from the tradition of alphabetical or categorical order, the poster presents the library in an organic, intuitive way. It is a cloud map of typographic forms in which fonts are organized by their visual relationship. The word "Slang" represents the main components of the latin alphabet — uppercase, lowercase, ascender, descender, rounds, and straights. The size of each font sample is relative to the family size. A count of styles and weights is shown in the box next to the font name.
Attendees of the TYPO conference in Berlin received this poster last week, another chance to get one is at the ATypI conference. You can download the PDF here (913 KB) or send us an email with your postal address to get a printed version.

Friends, what is the best approach for a typical backyard beekeeper to inspect a deadout? More specifically, what should be looked at short of sending samples to the lab? I say this because I don't think my bees were fresh enough to send off. I have experienced my first deadouts since I picked back up beekeeping in 2009.
I processed three deadouts at one yard... (more on these in a moment) and I have one more deadout to process at the local park (next to a hive that is still alive) I considered it a really good hive during the season having a very prolific first year queen bred by my mentor. No problems with SHB or varroa and it was the one hive (out of all) whose populations were above average at final season check. So, I'm really trying to be proactive on what happened and share with my club. The hive has a carpet of dead bees out front. Next to this same hive is another hive that is still alive an only a few dead bees in front.
Regarding the three deadouts at my first yeard, at last fall hive check, my populations were very low. I had SHB problems that I felt I got back on top of by the end of the summer (evidenced by few beetles and most in multiple oil traps) but I think the damage may have already been done. I was diligent on my sugar dusting for varroa and use the bellowed applicator. Few mites on my sticky boards.
All hives had plenty of honey in them... around and above the cluster... and a candy board that they never made it to. Adequate ventilation and no sign of condensation. All had screened bottom boards and a hole in the candy board at the top. I found no mites (on or around the dead bees) as I processed three deadouts. These hives could have been dead for 2 weeks or longer before I got to them though.
Not discouraged and ready to do it all over again next season... but I feel having one more deadout to process, I'd like to be armed with the best knowledge from the group. Thanks.

When your average motoring journalist gets hold of something like a Rolls-Royce, the immediate temptation is to do something wildly inappropriate with it. I consider myself very average indeed, so when I got hold of the latest Phantom Series II I did something very inappropriate indeed: I drove it myself.
In case you don't know your Royces, the Phantom is the largest, most exclusive and most expensive model. It's a motor car mainly for those who like to sit in the back, enjoying sumptuous leather and utter silence. Privacy too, for the rear seat of the Phantom is positioned so that the face of the occupant is slightly obscured by the substantial C-pillar. Although said occupant also sits 18mm higher than the driver, for an uninterrupted view ahead. One would expect no less.
That said, most other luxury carmakers place rather a lot of emphasis on the driving experience and this is something that has not been lost on Rolls-Royce. It has produced the smaller Ghost, which is very much a car to be driven. Most of the changes for Phantom II are focused on the people up front, not the ones in the back. Let's face it, the latter have always had it pretty good anyway.
In Series II form, the Phantom's 6.75-litre direct-injection V12 drives through an eight-speed automatic transmission and new-design differential. It's all sourced from the parent company, BMW, and brings the Phantom into line with the smaller-but-newer Ghost. The new powertrain brings smoother performance and a 10 per cent improvement in fuel efficiency. Yes, thought you'd like that.
The Ghost remains the quicker conveyance, of course. But the Phantom is far from tardy (0-100km/h in 5.9sec) and can be ordered with a dynamic package that brings firmer suspension, different calibration for the transmission, a thicker steering wheel and visible exhaust pipes. When you can see the pipes on a Royce, you know it means business.
This is a 2.6-tonne car that's nearly 6m long, so it's a bit like steering a Riva speedboat. But once you overcome the "worst-case scenario" mindset, it's amazing how quickly the Phantom can cover ground. Sheer straight-line speed helps, but it also has a relaxed gait through corners once you learn that it's soft but exquisitely controlled.
Larger wheels are not on the agenda, not really possible: standard size for the Phantom is a 21-inch rim, which still looks kind of small. Without the privilege of seeing one in traffic, that's the best indication of how large this car is.
Inside, the Phantom Series II has an upgraded satellite navigation system, larger 8.8-inch touch screen and driver assistance features including surround-view cameras for parking.
You can spot the new Phantom by its new front bumper and one-piece stainless-steel grille. It's the first production car in the world to have 100 per cent LED headlights.
Luxury? Don't get me started. It can be ordered with anything and everything. Customers often dream up outlandish items of equipment and Rolls-Royce Bespoke makes them.
But gadgets, high-quality materials and superlative refinement you can have on any number of luxury cars.
What makes a Rolls-Royce special is on-road presence and the knowledge that everything is built by hand. I could easily fill this issue of Driven with a detailed description of how each Phantom comes together: 60 individuals contribute a total of more than 450 hours.
But as a snapshot, consider this: the wafer-thin silver pinstripes on our car were painted by hand. You know, by a man with a brush. Each line took three hours to apply, using only squirrel- and ox-hair brushes.
If you're a Rolls-Royce purist, the Phantom is still the real one because it's based on a bespoke aluminium spaceframe, whereas the Ghost is built on the underpinnings of the BMW 7-series. That's why the enormous Phantom is still only 100kg heavier than its smaller stablemate, which is remarkable.
The Phantom is also still a Rolls-Royce that's available only to an extremely select group of clients. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Auckland does not like to talk about the price of a Phantom because each one is built to order and 95 per cent of customers employ the services of Rolls-Royce Bespoke. But $780,000 is an indicative price for the vehicle you see here.
So a Phantom exists on a plane that mere motoring writers cannot really identify with. It's hard to put the car in context because it's hard to put yourself in the shoes of a potential buyer.
Perhaps that doesn't matter, because the Phantom aims to be larger than life. I can tell you that it's really good fun to drive.

A mother's fear: What might her son do next?
Gap in mental health help leaves parents concerned.
BEND, Ore. - In the wake of the Newtown school tragedy, many parents have questions about mental health issues and their children. We spoke to a Central Oregon mother who wants to remain anonymous, but has great fears about her son's future actions.
"I might be that parent, going, 'Why did my child just do something so horrible?" she said.
After last week's massacre left 26 people dead, 20 of them 6- and 7-year-old elementary school students, this mother fears not for the safety of her own son, but for the students around him.
Seeing the profile of the shooter, the mother is concerned that her son displays what she calls alarming similarities.:"He likes guns, things of that nature. He's tries to go after kids in the neighborhood, and we've had to stop him."
Some mothers around the country share her concern with their own children, saying they too fear what their sons are capable of.
She goes on to explain, "Our house is like a fortress -- we lock everything up, we don't have firearms in our house and lock everything up that could start a fire, we even hide knives."
She says her son has seen several doctors and has had many referrals to mental health specialists.
Barrett Flesh at Deschutes County Behavioral Health says, "There are services available. We try and get to every child most children are eligible for OHP (Oregon Health Plan) in our state, which is a great thing, so it allows us to try and provide those services."
Due to an increase in income, the Oregon Health Plan is no longer available to this family; trips to specialists are now an enormous financial burden.
The Central Oregon mother goes on to say, "The school staff doesn't know what to do with him. They suspended him -- a 6-year-old -- they told me indefinite until we have a meeting and find out what to do with him."
After being transferred in and out of different school,s she says her son has no connections to people: "No, he doesn't have any friends."
Alone and scared, this mom can't help but feel she's failed her child.
"I'm scared some day I won't be able to handle him, or he'll get hold of a knife. You think, 'What am I doing wrong? Why did two of my kids turn out right and one didn't?'"
Terrified that some day, people may turn to her and wonder why she didn't do something to help her son. she says, "I wish someone could figure it out before he ends up like one of these kids who's shooting up the schools. I wish somebody would listen, that somebody would help."
According to the mother, Deschutes County Behavioral Health Services, has evaluated her son, but he is not under their treatment.
Officials tell us most of these issues are systemic and working with the whole family has a better outcome for the child and the adults.

MY NEIGHBOR Sim Van der Ryn, in the April 27 Marin Voice, made a number of irrelevant and confusing statements about the role that science has and should play in restoring wilderness at Drakes Estero.
Calling for more "science" is a well-known delay tactic, especially when the best available science, and abundantly clear law and policy, call for ending commercial operations in Drakes Estero.
Congressman Jared Huffman has rightly called the most recent unfounded claim of National Park Service scientific misconduct a "witch hunt."
My neighbor supports that witch hunt, but scientific disagreement, even honest errors, are not misconduct.
The shellfish company is following the same strategy as its big-oil Koch brothers supporters, exposed in "Merchants of Doubt." There, historians Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway explain how a handful of scientists with political connections obscured the truth on issues from tobacco smoke to global warming.
While the shellfish company and its supporters warm to the task of castigating Park Service scientists, their own claims of science are little more than smoke itself.
Their smoke screen persists not because of scientific integrity but rather because it is fueled by smears.
As the Interior Department Solicitor's March 2011 report noted, a key shellfish company supporter "immediately attached labels of 'false,' and 'misrepresentation' and 'misleading' to every scientific assertion with which [he] disagreed."
Further, the executive director of the federal Marine Mammal Commission described the non-peer-reviewed science submitted on behalf of the shellfish company as "troubling," "wrong," "inaccurate," "unreliable" and containing "fundamental flaws" that render it "incorrect on multiple grounds."
That is the sunlight that my neighbor fears on the shellfish company's smoky science, so he wants to distract you with conspiracy accusations against the Park Service's peer-reviewed science.
Shellfish operations have a range of negative impacts, both in type and degree, and Park Service scientists are required by the "Precautionary Principle" and their federal policies to manage the estero in the manner most protective of natural resources.
In its 2012 study, the National Academy found that the Park Service was correct in concluding that the shellfish operation resulted in more negative impacts than its absence.
Peer-reviewed science does not always agree. But my neighbor attempts to re-paint these natural shades of gray by whitewashing the shellfish operation's impacts and criticizing Park Service scientists. These park scientists, who are also our neighbors, are doing their job and should not be persecuted for it.
Whether the noise from the shellfish boats separates mother seals from their pups at a distance of 1.5 miles or 0.5 miles, the fact is that these disturbances occur as a result of commercial activities in an area that Congress intended to be free from commercial activities.
No one disputes that restoring native oysters can bring environmental benefits that were provided for thousands of years in the rocky areas from which these oysters have been extirpated. However, Drakes Estero has been sandy for thousands of years and has provided habitat for clams, not oysters.
The Miyagi oysters cultivated in Drakes Estero suppress the growth of native clams. In San Francisco Bay, Miyagi oysters are considered a threat to native oyster restoration.
My neighbor confuses this important scientific distinction between native oysters restored to their natural habitat and commercial Miyagi oysters grown in Drakes Estero.
Congress knows that any business feeding from the public trough could rationalize science to support its continued feeding.
That is precisely why Interior Secretary Kenneth Salazar's decision was not based on science, but rather on the well-established Congressional policy that bans commercial activities in wilderness areas.
Dominique M. Richard of Inverness served as chair of the Tomales Bay Working Group and is a community-at-large
representative on the Gulf of Farallones National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council.

Says she's dropping civil suit since he was convicted
PORTLAND, Ore. - Not only did the victim of now-sentenced Bend rapist Thomas Bray go public in a newspaper interview published Tuesday -- after her identity was protected during an investigation and non-jury trial -- but she told The Oregonian that she is dropping her nearly $2 million civil lawsuit.
Jennifer Bennett said she only filed the suit in case the former COCC anatomy instructor was acquitted and still needed to be held accountable for the violent attack.
Bennett, 23 at the time of the Feb. 2011 assault, was in court late last week when Deschutes County Circuit Judge Stephen Tiktin imposed a 25-year sentence on Thomas Bray, 38.
The newspaper noted, "Bennett's case stands out for the intense scrutiny -- fueled by advances in social media-- of her personal life."
It notes the defense investigators' unsuccessful attempts to review her Facebook accounts, email, laptop and -- in a first-of-its-kind ruling in Oregon -- her Google search queries.
Bennett also didn't expect the sharp criticsm from anonymous online commenters who called her stupid for going to Bray's downtown Bend condo on a first date, or money-hungry for filing a nearly $2 million suit against him.
"Yes, I was raped," Bennett told the paper. "It doesn't make me a bad person. I didn't make poor choices. I was not the criminal."
The system allows for a terrible intrusion, she said, but she also told The Oregonian that wants people who suffer similar attacks to know that they have the power to put their attackers behind bars.
"It's the one nugget that I could hold on to through all of this -- that a dangerous criminal will be off the streets," said Bennett, who now lives in Seattle.
Bennett also said she has decided to drop her civil lawsuit against Bray, which she saw as another means to hold him accountable for the attack, in case he didn't go to prison.
Bennett also said she is dropping the civil suit because she wishes to be done with long, drawn-out proceedings that invade her privacy.
Bennett is undergoing counseling for post-traumatic stress disorder and has been unable to work. But despite that, she encouraged other victims to know their rights to privacy and pursue convictions.
"It's not OK that we live in a society where a victim would consider whether they want to report that crime," Bennett told the paper. "If someone came up to you and beat you with a baseball bat, you wouldn't think 'Should I report that?'"

- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two Guests in a Standard Room with Daily Breakfast, a Bottle of Champagne On Arrival, and One In-Room Movie, Fridays through Sundays ($134) or Mondays through Thursdays ($174)
The Destination
Few places can claim as colorful an origin history as Mobile, Alabama. Once a ward of three different European states and named for the Native American Mobilian tribe that lived along the shores of Mobile Bay, this Southern port city is a little French colonial, a little Spanish spice, and all American fun. Bustling streets bloom with stately magnolia trees and old oaks that shade white columned porches and and garden balconies that craft an image of Southern romanticism that is simply one of a kind.
The Digs
Situated in the heart of the city's entertainment and shopping district—with easy access to the Mobile Regional Airport—the newly renovated Marriott Mobile Hotel features a 2,200-square-foot fitness center, plenty of meeting space, and an outdoor pool. In addition to offering breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres, concierge-level Deluxe rooms are well appointed with Marriott's Revive Bedding and LCD TVs. When dinner calls, the hotel's on-site Sage Restaurant and Bar dishes out classic American cuisine.

Supported Employment State Grants
Program Office: Rehabilitation Services Administration
CFDA Number: 84.187
Program Type: Formula Grants
Also Known As: Supported Employment for Individuals With the Most Significant Disabilities, Title VI-B State Grants
Program Description
This program provides grants to assist states in developing and implementing collaborative programs with appropriate entities to provide programs of supported employment services for individuals with the most significant disabilities who require supported employment services to achieve employment outcomes. Grant funds are administered under a state plan supplement to the Title I state plan for vocational rehabilitation (VR) services designated by each state.
Types of Projects
Supported employment grant funds are used to supplement funds provided under the state VR grants program for the costs of providing supported employment services. Program funds may be used to supplement assessments under the Title I program and supplement other VR services necessary to help individuals with the most significant disabilities find work in the integrated labor market. Funds cannot be used to provide the extended services necessary to maintain individuals in employment after the end of supported employment services, which usually do not exceed 18 months.
Additional Information
To be eligible for this current-funded formula grant program, states must submit a supplement to their Title I Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants program plan. States may carry over unobligated funds to the next fiscal year. Funds are distributed on the basis of population, except that no state receives less than $300,000, or one-third of 1 percent of the sums appropriated, whichever is greater. The minimum allotment for territories is one-eighth of 1 percent of the sums appropriated.
