2013 session a banner year for mental health issues
2013 session a banner year for mental health issues
Sept. 7, I was fortunate to be the keynote speaker for Rural Wellness Conference sponsored by the group Wellness in the Woods that focused on mental health issues.
I congratulate Wellness in the Woods for this great accomplishment. Organizers had said it was their dream come true to sponsor a conference in Greater Minnesota about wellness and emphasizing mental health. This was a fantastic conference and one I hope continues in the future.
We know mental health and mental illness are serious issues in our state and country. Helping people with mental illnesses control and manage their conditions makes sense. It makes fiscal-sense, economic-sense — the economic cost of untreated mental illness is more than $100 billion each year in the United States — and it's the right thing to do. Providing support for people with mental illnesses is important in education, can help prevent homelessness and can help people climb out of poverty.
With that said, the 2013 session was a banner year for mental health. We expanded Medical Assistance for low-income Minnesotans, established family peer specialists, improved the teacher training law, added case management for youth, increased funding for school-linked mental health grants, funded mental health first aid training, added mental health education for youth, increased the safe-school levy, increased funding for housing programs for the mentally ill and homeless, and increased funding for mental health providers.
But our work is not done. We can't reverse years of cuts and right the ship in one session. These accomplishments made an impact, but we need everyone working together to move forward again.
I thank Wellness in the Woods for the opportunity to speak at the conference and congratulate them again for their work. I look forward to working with them and my constituents in the future on this important issue.
Rep. John Ward,
DFL-Baxter, District 10A

Following a year of preparations, one of Israel's most famous fictional bachelorettes is finally ready for American TV.
Michal Golan, the protagonist of 2007 Israeli comedy "The Mythological Ex," will make her American prime-time debut October 3 on CBS, now with a new name and language, but with a storyline already familiar to fans of the original series. The English version of the show, retitled "The Ex List," features what an ad calls "your basic 30-something all-American girl" and revolves around the character's search for her soul mate: an old flame with whom she has already broken up, according to a fortune teller she meets in the first episode. As in the Israeli series, the protagonist — reinvented here as a California surfing enthusiast played by Elizabeth Reaser — begins the process of tracking down and asking out the men she's previously dated.
"I thought it was really funny and sexy," "Ex List" executive producer Jonathan Levin said of the original show, which he first heard about while performing volunteer work in Israel. "I thought it could make a great romantic comedy in our form."
Though that form has been stripped of its most recognizably Israeli elements, the writer of the original series, Sigal Avin, is serving as a consultant on the CBS show, while Keshet Broadcasting, the production company behind the original version, remains involved behind the scenes of "The Ex List."
And is the American protagonist's name — Bella Bloom — a tacit nod toward the character's Jewish heritage, even if such a name might have been more plausible in Krakow a century ago than in contemporary California?
"It was chosen by ["Ex List" writer] Diane Ruggiero, who is of Italian descent," Levin said. "She just liked the name Bella, and thought Bloom was a beautiful name. I think it's a Rorschach test. To the Jews [on the set], she's Jewish, and to the others she's not necessarily anything in particular. Maybe someday we'll officially clarify that."
In any case, he said, the character's background is not what made the show appealing to the American network that is putting the show on the air. "Looking for true love is universal," Levin said.

At least three people fall victim to E-Tech scam
People stating to be a company called E-Tech Security have been calling residents around town claiming to be affiliated with Microsoft and correcting errors on computers, but it's all a scam.
According to office manager at Oasis Computers, September Bosch, she does not know where the scammers are calling from, but they are leading people to believe they have errors on their computers, and then, for a price of $269, [auth] offering to take care of the computer every three months so "you won't have any more worries." However, once obtaining personal information, the callers proceed to hang up, never actually fixing any computer errors.
"Anyone can say they are Microsoft certified, but the real company does not make phone calls of this nature," Bosch said.
The scammers appear to be knowledgeable with computers, but again, do not actually exist as an E-Tech Security company.
"The thing about it is, there are always errors on your computer of some degree or another, and they know where to tell you to go to find them," Bosch said. "And people go into panic mode because people are fearful of computers."
At least three people in the last week have reported this fraud, and Bosch's best advice is to hang up.
"If you get a phone call from a company called E-Tech Security, do not give them any information," she said. "In fact, don't even continue with the conversation. The minute they tell you E-Tech, hang up on them because it's a scam."

A jury found Sylvester Mead guilty of public intimidation, in violation of La. R.S. 14:122. Sentenced as a third felony offender to a mandatory life term without benefit of parole, probation, or suspension of sentence, he now appeals his sentence as being constitutionally excessive. The record is unclear as to whether Mead properly waived his right to counsel during his most recent hearing. Accordingly, we remand to the trial court for a hearing as to his waiver of counsel or, if an appropriate hearing was held and a determination was made below, for a supplementation of the appellate record documenting Mead's waiver of counsel. In either event, we direct that this determination be communicated to us within 45 days of this opinion.
The facts of the underlying case are found in State v. Mead, 36,131 (La.App.2d Cir.8/14/02), 823 So.2d 1045, writ denied, 2002-2384 (La.3/14/03), 839 So.2d 34. Mead was charged with public intimidation for making threats against Shreveport Police
The trial court then adjudicated the defendant as a second felony offender and sentenced him to ten years. The state filed an application for writ of supervisory review, which this court granted. State v. Sylvester Mead, 38,129-KW (La.App.2d Cir.9/18/03). In that ruling, this court found the evidence supported an adjudication as a third felony offender. The matter was again remanded for resentencing. The pending appeal filed by the defendant attacking his sentence, State v. Sylvester Mead, 38,213 (La.App.2d Cir.11/20/03), was dismissed without prejudice as moot because the defendant had not yet been resentenced.
On the next remand hearing, the defendant was sentenced to the mandatory life sentence as a third felony offender. The defendant sought review of this court's ruling on the habitual offender issue, and the supreme court determined that the defendant was entitled to a hearing to determine if he was in fact entitled to an out-of-time appeal. State ex rel. Mead v. State, 04-0030 (La.1/7/05), 891 So.2d 680. After a hearing in the trial court, the defendant again appealed his habitual offender adjudication and his life sentence. In State v. Mead, 40,406 (La.App.2d Cir.4/19/06), 927 So.2d 1259, writ denied, 2006-1426 (La.12/8/06), 943 So.2d 1060, this court affirmed the adjudication and remanded the matter for reconsideration of the life sentence imposed.
On remand, the trial court found that the mandatory life sentence was appropriate in this case and sentenced the defendant accordingly. The defendant filed an application for supervisory writ of review in the matter, and this court converted the writ application to the instant appeal.
Defendant argues that the record lacks any proof of when or how the decision was reached that he could adequately represent himself.
The defendant argues, pro se, that he clearly advised the trial judge that he did not understand the proceedings on the day the hearing was held and the trial court erred in allowing him to represent himself. Further, the defendant contends his trial attorney was "not helping, neither explaining, nor was Attorney Swift trying to assist in any way."
Our jurisprudence relative to self-representation is well settled.
The defendant alleged that his counsel, Mr. Swift, had made "a lot of errors" in representing him, particularly the failure to serve subpoenas. The learned trial court explained to Mead that counsel had done all expected of him in the issuance of the subpoenas. During the hearing, the court made several references to Attorney Swift acting as standby counsel for the defendant and that the defendant would be acting as his own counsel. The record is silent as to when the determination that the defendant would act as his own counsel was made. At the hearing on the pro se motions, Mr. Swift was listed as counsel for the defendant. During the hearing regarding Mead's sentence, Mr. Swift was listed as both counsel and co-counsel with the defendant appearing in proper person.
From the beginning of the two-day hearing, the defendant acted as his own counsel. Mr. Swift noted that he was appearing as standby counsel on the defendant's motion. At the outset, Mr. Swift assisted the defendant with matters regarding subpoenas and whether his witnesses had been served. At one point during the hearing when a witness was not
• a supplementation of the record relative to the determination, if it was made below, or
• conducting a hearing to make a record on this point.
Defendant has requested other relief, which is pretermitted pending a determination of whether Mead made a clear and unequivocal waiver of his right to counsel.
We remand for supplementation of this record within 45 days relative to the propriety and sufficiency of defendant's waiver of counsel and request for self-representation.
Before WILLIAMS, PEATROSS and DREW, JJ.
The history of this case may be best reviewed in two places:
Nonetheless, a partial time line of the most relevant events follows:
Accordingly, the appeal of the trial court's ruling of February 8, 2007, is now moot, and is dismissed.
The appeal is DISMISSED.
This Second Ruling derives from the following three (3) remands from the Court of Appeal, Second Circuit:
In compliance with the above remands, this court did the following:
Based solely on the evidence presented during the June 2, 2008, hearing and the medical records submitted on June 16, 2008, by Defense Counsel after the hearing, this Second Ruling addresses the mandatory life imprisonment sentence without benefit of probation or suspension od sentence to determine whether a downward departure od said life sentence was warranted based upon unconstitutionally excessive reasons(s) as outline in State v. Johnson. This court specifically observes that the evidence previously presented at the August 30 and 30, 2006, hearing was not considered by this Court because said evidence had been presented during a hearing when Defendant had not properly waived his right to counsel and therefore, was improperly self-representing.
Fact Established At Hearing
Defendant's Case:
Defendant called the following witnesses:
Mr. Draughn did not know the purpose of the Court hearing or why Defendant had been arrested. He was not aware of Defendant's criminal history, did not believe Defendant would be a danger if released from jail, but would not have wanted Defendant to carry a gun around his sister if she were still alive.
Defendant was married by Ms. Smith's pastor to one of her friends and they continued going together to the same church. Her friend had two children prior to marrying Defendant. Her friend and Defendant had Defendant's first child (daughter) together. Defendant worked in the lawn service business with Ms. Smith's husband. Ms. Smith and her husband attended several barbecues at the house of Defendant and his wife. Defendant had a clean, well kept home like the kind Ms. Smith had wished she could have had. She considered Defendant funny and knew he liked to play card games and dominoes. She had high hopes for Defendant.
Ms. Smith, Defendant, and his wife had relapses and started using again. His wife was back in a half-way house while his daughter was living with his wife's sister. She knew Defendant loved his daughter, but that he had been taking her money to buy drugs and alcohol. Ms. Smith was not familiar with Defendant's criminal history. She believes his wife would be safe if Defendant was released from jail.
Ms. Smith kept up with Defendant until he went to jail. She was not aware of any threatening letters from Defendant to his wife. His wife never complained about Defendant being violent toward her. If Defendant were to relapse into drugs, she would be "concerned but not fearful".
4.) Sylvester Mead: Defendant testified that he is 47 years old, grew up in the Mooretown section of Shreveport, Louisiana, and was the oldest of his three siblings whom he had to watch while they were growing up. His mother still lives in Shreveport, Louisiana, but is in poor health and needs his help. His father had other children hut was helpful if Defendant needed anything. His father was a big influence on Defendant's life until he died.
Defendant went to school through the eleventh grade and attended church. He always had employment and never had a problem working. His father got him a truck and tools early on in his life. He built fences for a number of years, he learned to cook from his grandmother and worked as a cook and he had other types of jobs.
Defendant admitted his substance abuse problem. He was in a long term residential substance abuse program for 18 months where he actually lived for 14 months. He stayed sober for five years before relapsing.
Defendant's daughter is now six years old and living with her oldest sister and Defendant's mother. His daughter has visited him, along with his Mother, since his arrest including three or four visits at Angola. He writes his daughter every week to ten days.
Defendant stated he and his wife had bought a house together in Shreveport, Louisiana. He believes it is best not to have contact with his wife and decided a year ago to stop dealing with his wife and "let it go". Defendant and his wife were married in 1998, but are now divorced.
His wife's daughter was only 11 months old when he moved in with her. He was her only father-figure and trying to adopt her. He does not hear from her hut he last wrote her at Christmas, 2007. He does not want to make trouble for her.
Defendant has been in other prison facilities before going to Angola in February,
He currently has health problems where he has been treated in Houma, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Shreveport, Louisiana. His health problems include his eyes, stomach, back, and skin which currently do not affect his ability to work, but could in the future.
Defendant acknowledged his involvement in most all of his past criminal activities beginning with his first crime of Armed Robbery where he admitted having a gun to take money from a man he had lent money. He admitted other convictions of Simple Burglary, Aggravated Battery, and Forgery of checks.
Regarding the instant conviction, Defendant denied having a knife. He said the argument with his wife started over him wanting to give his daughter a piece of fish. He said he had too much to drink that night. He blames the alcohol in part, but also blamed the police officer for pulling him out of his house. He shares "some responsibility" for the incident that night.
Defendant stated he wrote letters to his child calling his wife a "B ... A ... Mother...". [This Court observed Defendant's demeanor when he was asked if he had stated during a previous hearing before this Court something to the effect of "standing over {his wife's} dead body".] He recalled writing the letter in 2002 to his wife.
Defendant acknowledged that most people say "bad things about him behind his back". He said "I'm a long way from being perfect". He is interested in going to Seattle, Washington, for himself and his daughter and living with his baby sister and mother. He said after seven years in jail, he could not say he was sorry enough. He never would have gotten married. He does not want to die in prison.
State's Case:
The State elected not to call any witnesses.
Discussion of the Facts and Law
In summary, this Court has considered the above testimony from the June 2, 2008, hearing and the exhibits admitted into evidence which included, Defendant's criminal history introduced by the State; copies of certificates and other documentation of Defendant's participation in educational, religious, substance abuse, and other self-help programs introduced by Defendant; the May 23, 2008, letter regarding Defendant's medical records introduced by Defendant; and the medical records submitted by Defense Counsel on June 16, 2008, after the hearing.
In reviewing the totality of said evidence, this Court makes the following findings:
Defendant began his youthful years without any remarkable disadvantages of means which would form a basis for this Court to find that Defendant was significantly deprived of the necessities of life. Of course, he lacked certain advantages but so did many, if not most, youths who grew up during his era. As he was growing up, Defendant also experienced significant relationships with his father and siblings. In fact, Defendant grew up with the will and means to employ himself and make a living. He was able to attain certain goals like many other individuals
This Court finds that regrettably Defendant developed a substance abuse problem, along with individuals he came to associate with, and perhaps this problem attributed to his poor behavior and choices on the night of the instant incident. However, Defendant had the opportunities to seek and find substance abuse treatment in an attempt to address his substance abuse (alcohol and drug) addiction and in spite of the number of relapses he may have suffered, Defendant still had treatment options available to him.
This Court finds that Defendant committed a number of prior felony offenses which have resulted in his current legal consequences. At least two offenses were serious enough for purposes of the Louisiana Felony Habitual Offender Statute, to wit: Armed Robbery and Aggravated Battery. Defendant's propensity to be violent has continued even during the time of his confinement at Angola as evidenced by the letters Defendant acknowledged writing and said letters were additional evidence that Defendant has the propensity to act poorly and make poor decisions.
This Court finds that Defendant has a long history of working to support himself and his family. This Court believes Defendant is physically able to employ himself and would undoubtedly continue willing to employ his skills if he was released from prison. Further, this Court acknowledges that Defendant has on-going medical concerns which will require treatment during Defendant's long term incarceration. If his medical conditions were to worsen, the State's prison system would bare the ultimate cost.
Further, this Court finds that Defendant has most certainly mitigated his circumstances by the significant number of educational, religious, substance abuse, and other self-help programs he has continued to participate in and already completed. While incarcerated, Defendant appears to have maintain his sobriety. Defendant especially has earned this Court's accolades for his self-improvement achievements and sobriety and notwithstanding Defendant's demeanor of aggravations displayed towards every Counsel assigned to represent him, Defendant never showed disrespect towards this Court as he pursued postconviction relief.
In order for this Court to depart downward from the mandatory minimum sentence under the Habitual Offender Law, Defendant must establish a favorable factual basis with respect to reason(s) why he "falls within those
With respect to the instant matter, this Court further observes the following:
See State v. Lindsey, 99-3302 (La.10/17/00), 770 So.2d 339; Wilson, supra; and State v. Mead, KA 05-40406 (La. App.2d Cir.11/06/03), writ denied, 2006-KO-1426 (La.12/08/06), 943 So.2d 1060.
Upon making the above findings and observations and considering the law, this Court cannot articulate a favorable factual basis that Defendant has established he "falls within those
This Court has unequivocally and steadfastly opined that Defendant should not have been found guilty of the offense of Public Intimidation. Given the actions of Defendant on the night of the instant offense resulting in his conviction for the offense of Public Intimidation, this Court strongly believes that Defendant should not be serving a mandatory life sentence without benefit of probation or suspension of sentence.
Nevertheless, no matter how long this Court were to deliberate about this matter, it cannot fashion a legal result to explain that the life sentence without probation or suspension of sentence is unconstitutionally excessive after considering the guidelines of Johnson, supra. Only the conscience of this Court would otherwise create a justification to depart downward from the mandatory minimum sentence as provided by this State's Habitual Felony Offender Statute.
Therefore, this Court concludes that Defendant is not entitled to the relief sought and his request for reconsideration of sentence to a downward departure from the mandatory minimum life sentence without the benefit of probation or suspension of sentence is denied.
Although a defendant should be made aware of the dangers and disadvantages of self-representation, there is no particular formula which must be followed by the trial court in determining whether the defendant has waived his right to counsel. State v. Carpenter, supra; State v. Turner, 37,162 (La. App.2d Cir.10/29/03), 859 So.2d 911, writ denied, 03-3400 (La.3/26/04) 871 So.2d 347; State v. Flanagan, supra. The determination of whether defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to counsel depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding the case, including the background, experience, and conduct of the accused. State v. Harper, 381 So.2d 468 (La.1980).
The adequacy of a defendant's self-representation and legal competence are not determinative of a valid waiver of counsel. State v. Kennon, 588 So.2d 1348 (La.App. 2d Cir. 1991), writ denied, 600 So.2d 634 (La.1992); State v. Held, 32,610 (La.App.2d Cir. 12/10/99), 748 So.2d 608. The propriety of allowing a defendant to make this election shall not be judged by what happens in the subsequent course of that representation. Rather, it is the record made in recognizing the waiver that controls. State v. Strain, 585 So.2d 540 (La.1991); State v. Drumgole, 31,294 (La. App.2d Cir. 10/28/98), 721 So.2d 956. In State v. Strain, supra, the Louisiana Supreme Court stated:
Whether an accused has knowingly and intelligently waived his right to counsel is a question which depends on the facts and circumstances of each case. Johnson v. Zerbst, 304 U.S. 458, 58 S.Ct. 1019, 82 L.Ed. 1461 (1938); Strain, supra. A more thorough inquiry is required to allow defendant to represent himself at a felony trial than is required to accept his uncounseled guilty plea to an uncomplicated misdemeanor. Strain, supra.

I promised a reader I'd post this on his behalf. Can you help him out?
"I am considering installing touch-free soap/sanitizer dispensers, but notice that they are installed only by the sticky back. Have other facilities found these to be long-lasting, or do the dispensers require additional mounting in order to stay up on the wall?"
Having personally installed thousands of dispensers, I can say that It really depends upon the surface to which the dispenser is being adhered. A thoroughly cleaned and dried surface greatly increases the likelihood that the dispenser adhesive will hold. Anything less means a confounded surface that will inevitably compromise the permanency of the adhesive.
Many double-stick adhesive sheets common to these dispensers have a curing time of several hours. This means that once you apply the dispenser to the wall surface, press hard to ensure contact to the surface is comprehensive. Then let the dispenser sit empty and unburdened for several hours, perhaps overnight before stuffing them with the soap cartridge.
For touch-free dispensers held only by the adhesive I've had about 5% "fall off" in the first month.
I ask the facility manager if it is OK to drill. If so then I put a minimum of two mounting screws. You should have four types of drill bits handy: masonry (for concrete), ceramic (tile), metal (SS) and general purpose (for wood or drywall). You may need to drill--twice if the substrate behind the ceramic tile, SS or other surface differs from the outfacing surface.
If you are mounting in an order facility with concrete or asbestos--infused drywall then you will need vacuum as you drill to prevent a hazardous material from becoming airborne while facility users are present.
In reply to vkb:
Thanks for this great advice. I'll make sure to relay your comments.
He did mention that his options for placement of the dispenser are either on a partitian wall, mirror or drywall. Obviously, if the adhesive wont hold, mirrors are a poor option, unless you have seen successes in this area?

Love this brand. The smell has the slightest perfume scent, a little flowery, but not too much. Not the best masque, but definitely good. Love the plain simple black and white packaging.4

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Is Here!
Go inside the link for the trailer.
What a franchise. It should be in everybody's top ten. Can you believe I have a friend who has not seen the LOTR yet. Blasphemy!
Anybody knows what happened to the dwarves in LOTR. Never read The Hobbit. Did their entire civilization get wiped out by Sauron.
Just finished reading the whole history of the dwarfs in the Hobbit/LOTR realm. Pretty cool stuff --->
I think when you look at fantasy books many can trace their lineage back to J.R. Tolkien and that includes Harry Potter, Game Of Thrones, among others. What a timeless story with rich characters.
The LOTR series are some of my favorite movies and this looks to be cut from the same cloth. I'm sure it'll be great.
Thanks for the pics, I am pretty sure I saw this before a movie the other night. Looks like a good one. I'm going to it on the night it opens, already bought a ticket because my cinema always gets sold out for new flicks.
Yeah I am definitely going to see this one as soon as it opens, I don't care what the critics of the LOTR movies say, these films are entertaining as all hell. If I'm gonna be a picky nerd I'm gonna say Thorin Oakenshield looks way to much like a stud and Aragorns little brother than a dwarf.
This thing is going to be a disaster.
It's at 75% on RT already. Once reviewers who aren't on the take start to get their hands on this thing it's only going to go down and down.
Compare that 75% to the absurd ratings other book-based blockbusters like The Hunger Games tend to get early on before the legit reviewers get their hands on it, and it doesn't look good.
The first time I saw how they designed the dwarves for this thing I knew it was going to be awful. I'll stick with the animated film which is absolutely phenomenal.

August 30 marks the 25th anniversary of the final game that was played at War Memorial Stadium -- known as the Rockpile at the corner of Jefferson and Best on Buffalo's East Side. WBFO & AM-970's Eileen Buckley put together a audio feature complied with audio provided by former Buffalo Bisons play-by-play announcer Pete Weber, now the voice of the Nashville Predators. Weber was the Bisons play-by-play voice from 1983 through 1995. Play ball!: Bisons start 25th season of downtown baseball By Jay Moran • Apr 11, 2012 WBFO News photos by Eileen Buckley Wednesday's landmark celebration at Coca Cola Field offers a chance to reflect on the high expectations that came along with the 1988 opening of the $56 million stadium. At its inception, it was known as Pilot Field, a new-look baseball stadium that was going to be the catalyst for Buffalo's efforts to acquire a Major League Baseball franchise. Pete Weber was behind the microphone on April, 14th, 1988, broadcasting history as the Bisons opened their new home with a 1-0 win over the Denver Zephyrs.

How to help out your favorite artists when you don't have any money
I post something like this about once a year, because I get a lot of messages from people who enjoy my art but feel guilty about not buying things from my store or subscribing on Patreon or getting things from my wishlist, etc. You really don't need to do ANY of those things to help us out! Eyeballs on artwork is what we want, and just that is really helpful. But there are lots of other, free things you can do, if you want to, that will help us.
- You can reblog our work, with credit! Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, showing people next to you in class or at the library, whatever. The more you reblog our stuff, any kind of stuff, and especially if it has a name and/or link attached, the more followers we get, the happier we are, and the easier we can sell art and pay rent. This is such a vital part of our continued existence and it is difficult to overstate how grateful we are when it happens.
- You can like, comment, subscribe on Youtube, reply on Twitter, and generally make our little numbers go up. Even if you don't want a drawing on your blog, hitting "Like" helps. If people are browsing your liked posts (if you have this option available in your sidebar or in a separate page) they will see our work. Additionally, higher note counts translate instantly to "more worthy of being looked at" when parsed by an idle, browsing brain. That's the price of being a member of a social species, and it stinks because it doesn't reflect "quality" or "innate value" of art, whatever that is, but a post with 4 digit notes is going to get more positive regard than a post with a 2 digit notecount. And really, it makes sense. If lots of people like a thing, it is likely, if only statistically, that you will too.
- You can talk about your favorite artists to your friends. A lot of us idle on skype and irc all day, talking about new album releases and games and twitter beef. It doesn't occur to a lot of us to talk about how so-and-so just did a cartoon of a fat bird that is making our day slightly better, but that URL pastes just as easily into the chat as any other. Don't be annoying about it, but like Homeland Security always says, if you see something, say something!
- You can look at/click the ads on our websites. You can disable AdBlock on our websites, too. I have two little Project Wonderful boxes at the top of my blog. They pay me very little per day, but when I need $20 to stop an overdraft fee or buy a food, Project Wonderful has my back. This has happened about a dozen times, enough to teach me the value of having that last, tiny bit of cash just slowly snowballing in the background.
There is probably other stuff that I'm forgetting, so please feel free to reblog and add them.

Becahi and Spring-Ford Girls advance to Hershey
The Becahi and Spring-Ford girls both advanced to the state championship round in Hershey on Tuesday with semifinal wins.
Becahi advanced with a 44-39 win over Villa Maria, a win that featured another big night from Kalista Walters who had 20 to lead the Golden Hawks. That win puts Becahi in Hershey on Saturday where they'll try to win a title.
Spring-Ford beat a good Cardinal O'Hara team 53-49 in the AAAA semifinal round. The Rams, who are ranked 22nd in the country, had to battle to the final buzzer to advance. They'll play for a state title on Friday.

Stain Shadow Box Fence
Just installed 320 foot shadow box fence. Looking to stain this project!
Material is Southern Yellow Pine.
Was looking to use Olympic Maximum Semi Transparent stain W/ 718 Neutral-Tone Fir-Pine additive. Lowe's has this product at 148.00 + tax and cost of additive for 5 gallons.
320 foot on both sides = 640 foot X 6foot high = 3,840 sq. ft.
According to Olympic I can expect 150 to 250 sg. ft. coverage per gallon. Being realistic on new wood I would expect 150.
150 into 3,840 = roughly 25gallons @ say 165.00 per 5 gallon pail = 825.00.
I have a couple of local folks who stain fences and have told me they use a garden sprayer and have great results. I can vizualize the product dripping on the ground and the original 825.00 going up to 1,000 to 1,500.00 which is out of my budget! They told me they do not backbrush or roll just spray and go. Their cost 300.00.
Next breath, I have 2 Wagner Airless units and the .015 tip recommended for this stain. My wife is on my case telling me to get off my #$%^ing butt and spray it!
Please! What method is the best? I think the bug sprayer is sort of archaic and might be wasteful. I want to make sure this liquid gold goes on the fence not the ground! Maybe a cheaper product?
Appreciate any thoughts! Thanks Much!
You can spray it. Just have a brush on hand to catch any runs. Maybe have the wife go behind you as you spray. I haven't used Olympic Stain, but I know thier paint is canned garbage. Sikkens is a much better stain. You don't want your $825 project to turn out sub-par to save $100 on stain. Get the good stuff.

Since Galileo Galilei and Newton, the assumption is valid that inert and heavy mass are equivalent. This is, however, questioned by new physical theories such as the String theory.
Now, the equivalence principle is put to test with so far unachieved accuracy within the scope of the "Microscope" space project - a German-French cooperation. PTB has developed the manufacturing and measuring methods for the test masses which are required for the acceleration experiments in a near-Earth orbit, and has manufactured the first test pieces.
The validity of these acceleration experiments decisively depends on the quality of the test masses used. Only if mass, form, density and thermal expansion of the cylinders are known with great accuracy, can the possibly very small differences between inert and heavy mass be observed anyway.
PTB's Scientific Instrumentation Department has now succeeded in optimizing the manufacturing process for the test masses (made of a standard titan alloy and a very special platinum rhodium alloy) in such a way that the deviations in form and dimensions lie in all three space dimensions of the metal cylinders in the range of 1 µm.
This precision represents an enormous technical challenge in which the theoretical production limits of the usable manufacturing machines were almost reached. This is why a comprehensive measuring technique had to be integrated into the processing station.
The prototypes manufactured so far were checked by the respective technical laboratories of PTB. They meet the accuracy aimed at and will be used in the Centre of Applied Space Technology and Microgravitation (ZARM) in Bremen – a coo-peration partner in the project – for measurements in the drop tower which are performed before the orbital experiment is carried out. After evaluation of these measurements, PTB will manufacture the actual test masses for the satellite experiments.

I'll try to help out by writing but my best suggestion is to learn in person. If you lived near Connecticut I would say to bring a 12 pack and I'll teach you. If anyone else is interested reply to this thread and if there are enough people I'll start a thread and set a date.
Buy yourself a good industrial grade high speed orbital buffer with variable speeds. Makita makes a good one and Porter Cable is good as well. Also you need to use ONLY foam pads. 3M makes the best so that's my reccomendation. Tan pads are for compound, grey pads are for polishing. They come in packs of two and you can pick them up at any auto body supply shop. DO NOT use wool pads if you intend to compound, they cut too way fast for a novice and you will most likely do more harm than good.
First and most important: Use a decent masking tape to mask off ALL the edges on the surface you intend to use the buffer on. This will prevent you from burning through the edges where the paint is thinnest.
Apply a decent amount of whatever material you are working with to the surface. Remember that you will work in small sections. IE: a hood should be done in at least 4 sections. Set the buffer at 1500 RPM and make sure the ENTIRE pad is in contact with the surface. Use a slow back and fourth motion and overlap your last pass each time. If you are using a compound, you will know when you are done because most small surface scratches will disappear. Work the material until it is gone and a satisfactory gloss is achieved. Don't expect a wet look from compound as it MUST be followed with polish and hand glaze.
This is a pretty broad overview but should be enough to get most people started. Don't take any guesses at anything, if there is a doubt about something make a post and I'll try to help out.

Course Renumbering Guide - Guideline of how numbers were determined
Course and Program Framework Alignment - List of programs that follow the framework or deviated from the framework.
Since 1995, the Nebraska Transfer Initiative has involved all six state community colleges establishing common learning objectives for 30 transfer courses. In addition, all six community colleges have jointly developed associate degrees in Electronics, Criminal Justice, and Early Childhood Education with potential common curricula being examined in Library Assistant, Nursing, Business, and online courses. This large-scale collaboration has created enhanced visibility for the community colleges, seamless articulation among them, leverage for the six colleges to expand articulation with four-year institutions, and greater accessibility for students.
Despite this extensive collaboration, MCC remains the only Nebraska community college that continues to use a three digit framework for course prefixes and course numbers (e.g., ENG 101 vs. ENGL 1010). At its most basic level, this involves moving from a three-digit prefix and three-digit course numbering system to a four-digit system.
These new prefixes and course numbers will become effective in the Fall of 2005 and will appear in the 2005-06 College Catalog and Fall Mailer.
Examples of the new course numbering format include:
ACC 101 – Bookkeeping will change to ACCT 1050
MAT 132 – College Algebra will change to MATH 1420

I see most of the Walmarts around here being remodeled to accommodate for grocery isles, but so far all of the ones that went through the change still carry handgun ammo (when they have it, that is).
This is a discussion on Walmart ammo... OK, what's going on here ??? within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I almost never buy my ammo from Wal-Mart it is almost always from local gun stores or chain sporting goods stores like Sportsmans Warehouse....

i got five wal marts in my town with several more within a 20 mile drive. so when i am out i can check 10 or better wal marts in a week. only one is located close to the "inner city". this store does not carry any pistol ammo and a small section of rifle/shotgun ammo. a very small section. i was talking with the person that runs the sporting good section and he told me that because of the store location next to/inside the inner city they were directed not to sell pistol ammo and guns. i have seen that the stores that are away from downtown still have a large space setup for ammo and they also have long guns. they don't have pistol/rifle ammo, just empty space. but they got shotgun ammo. maybe shotguns are the way to go.

Red State State of Mind
I prefer to buy ammo at a local Ace Hardware -- a few hundred yards from a Walmart -- rather than support gun control and China wholesale.
...and one usually needs an extra mag when in one of their parking lots.
Are you saying...?
My local Wally World has more than I would have expected of handgun ammo. Of course the 9mm goes quickly. Last year I hooked up on bulk ammo (Target Shooting) at a local gun show.
It's always different. I went into one walmart and was told they no longer had handgun ammo. So i went to another one and they only had about 3 boxes of Federal FMJ. Bout a month later I went back to the first walmart that supposedly didn't have handgun ammo and they had dozens of Federal FMJ and about 4 or 5 boxes of Winchester pdx1... pretty confusing. I think it pretty much comes down to ammo availability.
"Shotgun bullets are bad for your health"
-Ice Cube
ROFL. So the one thing that is flying off the shelf, faster than they can stock is somehow going to be completely eliminated from their inventory? Wal-Mart didn't get to be a big, successful company with 'logic' like that.
I think it is far more likely that individual Wal-Mart stores choose what to stock, according to local demand. Any store manager that makes a decision like this for political reasons should be fired.
I think there may be something to this. I was in my WM today to pick up some 30.06. I noticed that they didn't have anything but rifle ammo behind the locked case. They didn't have spots for pistol calibers on the shelves, either. $13.97 for a box of Federal Powershock 30.06. Sports Authority wanted $40 for a box of Winchester
I had pretty much given up on finding handgun ammo at WM anyway. My local gun shop always has it in stock and is usually the same price or lower than Wally.
I talked with the local Walmart manager here in north Ga. last Thursday and he told me they will not be getting any 380 because a hold on ordering 380 & 357 has been put in effect for all Walmarts nationwide. Sounds to me like they may be having a spat with manufacters.
Walmart General managers are allowed to decide what their store carries to some degree.
For example, several Walmarts are removing their craft areas entirely. No more fabric, yarn or even kid projects. Other stores are removing/severely limiting their firearms, hunting, and ammunition areas.
This is supposed to be based soley on what is good for the store, however I have seen several cases where the decisions of the General Manager were based upon political, cultural issues instead of fiscal.
Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men.
The Wal Mart that I have talked to here in San Antonio have been trying to eliminate all gun stuff. Dont know how true it is but the Manager that I talked to last visit said that some of the big city Wal Marts are not even selling rifles any more. I just wish that they had 45 ammo at my local walmart I am tired of pay $30 a box for practice ammo.
I saw some .40s&w on the self in my local WM just the other day, as well as some .45 acp.
Wallmart's in CT still carry pistol ammo, although they seem to have found out about the supply and demand concept, the prices keep goin up.
"A free people ought to be armed." - George Washington
Sounds like it's at the Manager's discretion. My WM has shelf space for ammo and the common handgun calibers are mysteriously always out (38, 380, 9, 40, 45). Any first-year business major will tell you that you need to stock MORE of a hot-selling item. I can't see any reason for having constantly empty shelves unless they're just planning to nix the category altogether.

Ronda and Greg both love to garden.We have lots of area on the grounds for a garden, but we decided to build a raised bed garden for many reasons. We built the frame from 2×8 red cedar purchased from a local sawmill. The cost was about 1/5 of what lumber yards wanted. The bed is 15 feet across the back with 2 legs protruding 5 feet from the front. The width of each bed is 5 feet so we can easily reach the center of the beds from either side. The depth is 24″. From the ground up: 1/2″ hardware cloth to keep out moles and armadillos, landscape fabric to keep out grass and weeds, 3 " of river gravel for good drainage, and a mixture of top soil, composted goat manure and sand. The first year, we only filled the bed 16 inches deep to leave room for soil amendments. Thanks to the neighbors horses that are kept in our pasture we have a couple of compost piles working. We plan on adding that to the growing medium next spring. We also plan on extending the legs next year but only 16″ deep.
The raised bed is easier to care for as there is no getting down on our knees to care for the plants. We never walk on the soil, so compaction is not a problem. Also, we can adjust the soil properties in each section for specific needs of the plants growing in the section. The following posts show our progress in photos. We hope you enjoy our adventure as much as we do.

IMEC unveils 60-GHz multiple antenna receiver
Post a comment
Although 60-GHz wireless connections offer the promise of transmitting massive amounts of data over short distances using radio frequencies in part of the spectrum that are pretty much unutilized, the technical challenges of designing and building a complete transceiver in CMOS are daunting.
While CMOS is clearly the technology of choice for cost-effective fabrication, its performance at ultra-high frequencies leaves much to be desired. Power is one issue and gain is another.
Moreover, at 60 GHz, high path losses and interference created by people walking though the room and the like must be addressed. One way of doing this is by utilizing a phased antenna array approachand this requires a programmable phase shift capability.
IMEC, the research consortium based in Leuven, Belgium, has taken an important first step in solving these problems by designing and demonstrating a 60-GHz, multiple antenna receiver in CMOS. The prototype was officially unveiled at the ISSCC meeting in San Francisco today.
IMEC's device contains two antenna paths, each consisting of a low-noise amplifier and a down-conversion mixer. A programmable phase shift is realized on the same chip. It starts from the quadrature signals of an on-chip quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator (QVCO). This QVCO design combines the highest oscillation frequency with the largest tuning range ever reported in CMOS, according to IMEC.
IMEC's multiple antenna receiver is the first step towards a complete CMOS-based phased array transceiver for 60-GHz wireless personal area networks. Applications could include multi-gigabit-per-second kiosk downloading, wireless high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI), and other applications.
Interestingly, the digital air interface has to be co-developed with the RF because designers have to live with the fact that the performance of a 60 GHz front end is not very good. For that reason, the IEEE 801.15.3 working group developing a 60-GHz standard has been evaluating modulation schemes in the context of how complimentary they will be to the RF portion of the system.
In the next phase of development, IMEC plans to implement four antenna paths using 45nm CMOS technology and to integrate other subsystems such as the phase-lock loop (PLL), analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and the patch-antenna array itself. IMEC will also begin initial experiments for a power amplifier.
These results were achieved in the unique multi-disciplinary 60GHz technology program. The research combines system-level aspects, algorithms, CMOS IC design, antenna design and module design, which target a low power 60 GHz communication link based on adaptive beamforming using multiple antennas aligned with ongoing standardization activities.

I am not concerned about time right now as I have only a few hives. I don't like the idea of treating with chemicals such as apistan, checkmite etc.
I use SSB's and would like to know what treatment is the most efective and the least stressful for the bees, succrocide, oxalic fumes or drone brood foundation? I am also open to any other ideas. To date I haven't treated with anything but I find myself buying bees every spring now and that is getting old.


text: That is a great idea on putting the projects like that on a page. They sort of do that on the inside cover don't they? I will have to check now that I am thinking of it:)I do know that the back cover, the inside back cover brings in great revenue in advertising and prob the reason they don't put the projects there. All mags should put their projects somewhere easy to look at though! Great ideas make the world go around much easier...Skeat

Bearcats Victorious In Season Opener Against Mount St. Mary's Yancy Gates records double-double; Kilpatrick scores 21 in collegiate debut
CINCINNATI - Freshman guard Sean Kilpatrick made the most of his debut wearing a University of Cincinnati basketball jersey, scoring 21 points off the bench to guide the Bearcats (1-0) to a 69-59 season-opening victory over Mount St. Mary's (0-2) on Monday night at Fifth Third Arena.
After a 5-0 run by The Mount in the early going, the Bearcats called a timeout and went on an 11-2 run over a 4:23 span to take an 18-11 lead with 11 minutes to go in the first stanza. Two minutes later, Kilpatrick and Yancy Gates put UC on their back and ran out the half with a 22-6 run for a 40-21 halftime advantage.
Kilpatrick scored 13 points, had two steals and an assist during that stretch and Gates, who finished the game with a 15-point, 10-rebound performance, scored six points and had three rebounds during the run.
Gates recorded the first UC double-double since Lance Stephenson scored 18 points and had 10 rebounds against DePaul on Feb. 24, 2010. Kilpatrick was 4-for-5 from the floor and 3-for-3 from long range helping UC to shoot 46 percent from the floor in the first half. The Bearcats had nine steals as a team (UC averaged 5.7 steals a game a year ago) and scored 16 points off of turnovers en route to the first half lead.
In the second half, UC struggled shooting from the floor, finishing 7-for-24. The Mountaineers didn't go away, using a 19-7 run starting at the 15:24 mark to pull within nine, 53-44. With 1:21 remaining and UC holding a 60-51 lead the Mountaineers scored three free throws, a layup and a 3-pointer to get as close as four, 62-58. Cincinnati spent the final minute of the game at the charity stripe, connecting on 7-of-8 and holding on for the 10 point victory.
Ibrahima Thomas scored nine points for UC and Rashad Bishop was 6-for-6 from the free throw line, finishing with eight points. Justin Jackson was scoreless for the game, but finished with four rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and three steals in his freshman debut.
The Bearcats out-rebounded the Mountaineers, 38-33, and UC finished with 12 steals - the most steals Cincinnati has finished with in a game since 15 thefts against Arkansas Pine Bluff on Dec. 22, 2008 (79-49 victory).
Mount St. Mary's had three players score in double figures, led by Shawn Atupem's 14 points.
Cincinnati will play next on Nov. 20 at 1 p.m. against IPFW at Fifth Third Arena.

So... how good is the Windows Defender in 8? I've been running either Avira or MSE for awhile now and I just got my wife an ASUS Laptop with 8 on it - I know NOTHING about the OS, really... And half the damn search results I'm finding online are from before march of this year -.-;; If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be grateful. Thanks.

Defender in Windows 8 is the same as MSE in Microsoft's other operating systems.
Is all you need.

Pilling: Breckenridge road crew deserves credit for Herculean plow effort
February 19, 2014
Congratulations and thank you to the Town of Breckenridge road crew for their more than two weeks of sustained effort in clearing the roads after back-to-back-to-back heavy snows.
Your 24/7 efforts (with a little help from Mother Nature) have transformed Main St. and most all other roads from 1.5 – 2 lane passageways to full curb-to-curb byways.
Understand your efforts have been noticed, noted and very much appreciated!

One truly unique aspect of listening to a book rather than reading the printed word is the feeling of existing within that narrative. There is no need for me to stop reading to cook dinner or run errands since an audiobook keeps reading the story to me wherever I may be. And never have a felt that sensation as strongly as I do now as I listen once again to Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series in preparation for our November Speaking of Audiobooks column. Finishing the fourth in the series, Drums of Autumn, by November 1st, means listening 2-3 hours a day and I must admit that at times I feel as though I am living in 18th century Scotland while my frame of reference swirls around the happenings within this series. When I think of the vegetables I used in last night's salad, I'm reminded of Jamie's reasons for leaving Helwater. When I think of folding laundry late last night, I recall Claire's buying that Jessica Gutenburg dress. Yes, I am truly immersed and loving it.
It looks as though the selection of upcoming audiobook releases is somewhat limited for October but a smaller choice does not translate into less excitement for me. Both Reap the Wind by Iris Johansen and Shades of Twilight by Linda Howard will be added to my audio library as soon as they are available.
Leftovers from September
Looking back at audiobook releases always provides us with a number of new audiobooks that failed to make our previous month's list. Here are just a few that merit mentioning.
Laurens, Stephanie – The Reasons for Marriage
Murphy, C E – Walking Dead
Sands, Lynsay – A Quick Bite
Showalter, Gena – The Darkest Whisper; Lords of the Underworld, Book 4
Snyder, Maria V – Sea Glass
Audiobook Romances on Sale in October

Hamilton, Laurell K – The Lunatic Cafe Abridged CDs (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter) [AUDIOBOOK] (Audio CD)

Recent Additions to My Audio Library
Drums of Autumn – Diana Gabaldon
Replacing my audio cassette collection of the Outlander series with the more user friendly MP3 format, I'm still amazed that when I last listened to this, Book 4 of the series, just 5 years ago, I changed or turned over a cassette 44 times before finishing.
A Civil Contract – Georgette Heyer
Still trying to find my way through the maze of available/not-so-available Heyer audiobooks, I chose A Civil Contract based upon friends' recommendations of the printed book as well as favorable reviews of narrator Phyllida Nash.
Killing Time – Linda Howard
For me, Linda Howard is a Big Deal so it was with surprise that I realized I missed this one somehow. I seem to remember some less than favorable reviews upon its release but after following a recent favorable thread on the Let's Talk Romance Novels message board, I decided it's past time I had this one in my audio library. Narrator Joyce Bean is one who usually delivers winners for me.
Tempt Me Tonight – Lisa Kleypas
My latest purchase, this one is in keeping with my new determination to listen to the audiobook first rather than read the printed version of a highly anticipated new romance release. Although I'm not familiar with narrator Rosalyn Landor (she has narrated 3 of Kleypas' historicals), the sample sounds delightful.
Now for Your Thoughts
What new releases are you looking forward to?
Do you know of any October releases that failed to make this list?
What are the latest additions to your audio library?
What are your latest audio successes or failures?
Ending Notes
A number of old romance favorites are scheduled for release in audio format before year end and include The Bride by Julie Garwood, Ravished by Amanda Quick, and Son of the Morning by Linda Howard.
The first week of November, our Speaking of Audiobooks column will be dedicated to Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. If you have not yet listened to the first book in the series, Outlander, there's still time and I encourage you to do so.
For those new to our Speaking of Audiobooks column, be sure to check out our audio archives for further recommendations and discussions.
See you again in October.

Mute Witnesses to Horror in Rwanda and Cambodia: The Stations of the Skulls on the Looney Front
They are 5,250 miles apart, one in Asia, the other in Africa. But in each, huge piles of human skulls bear mute witness to the genocidal horrors of the last quarter of the 20th century when the world should already have learned better from the enormity of the Nazi Holocaust. Once the Chao Ponhea Yat High School, Pol Pot turned it into Security Prison 21 (S-21), where of the nearly 20,000 who passed through its satanic doors only a dozen survived. It was just one of scores of such hellholes where prisoners were beaten, tortured with electric shocks, burned with searing hot metal and water-boarded among other torments.

Reviews of this property
Comfortable little flat in the centre of Pest. Everything really close and reachable by walking. I definitely suggest to stay at Szabolcs's place: he is also a very nice and friendly person.
Very cozy apartment. It is all thought out to the last detail. I was quite surprised after finding even hand cream. There is everything you need for a tourist. Housekeeper is very nice and caring. We were very unfortunate with our transfer from the airport, so the hostess very clear and very quickly wrote us how to get the apartment from the airport by public transport. Apartment is located in a good place, in the center of city. So we got very easily to the all attractions. If I return to Budapest, I necessary will get in contact with him, and rent this apartment again. Thank You, Szabocs, for Your attention to us! :)
We lived in a very nice, renovated flat in a central and well developing part of Budapest, like Berlin-Kreuzberg - near an interesting alternativ an cheap "market hall"
Very clean, we had two good, but short nights ;)
no problems and good communication. Thanks,
Really nice and well-renovated apartment in a very quiet house! Absolutely clean! Well located, next to the metro station can be just 5 minutes. From there to the city center and not far ists.
