PDResources Publishes New Online CEU Course on Understanding Children's Exposure to Violence
Professional Development Resources, an accredited provider of online continuing education for psychologists, social workers, counselors, and marriage and family therapists, has released an online course called Children's Exposure to Violence.
Unhappily, children in the United States are more likely to be exposed to violence and crime than are adults. A national study done by Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (the National Survey of Children's Exposure to Violence, 2009) found that more than 60% of the children surveyed were exposed to violence within the past year.
According to the study, "Children are exposed to violence every day in their homes, schools, and communities. They may be struck by a boyfriend, bullied by a classmate, or abused by an adult. They may witness an assault on a parent or a shooting on the street. Such exposure can cause significant physical, mental, and emotional harm with long-term effects that can last well into adulthood."
Even if they are not physically present, children may be affected by intentional harm done by another. Children react to exposure to violence in different ways, but all too often they undergo lasting physical, mental, and emotional harm.
They suffer from difficulties with attachment, regressive behavior, anxiety and depression, and aggression and conduct problems.
Worse still, they may be more prone to dating violence, delinquency, further victimization, and involvement with the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Moreover, being exposed to violence may impair a child's capacity for partnering and parenting later in life, continuing the cycle of violence into the next generation. This means that children who are exposed to violence may be more likely to become perpetrators of violence later on.
In light of these very damaging effects, families, teachers, police, judges, pediatricians, mental health providers, child protection workers, domestic violence advocates, and others who interact with children have a responsibility to (1) prevent children from being exposed to such violence and (2) create interventions, both physical and psychological, that decrease or prevent the harm when exposure does occur.
Both of these responsibilities are important, because children who are exposed to violence have a far greater risk of being repeatedly exposed, leading to cumulative damage. These children are the most likely to suffer serious long-term physical, emotional, and mental harm.
Children's Exposure to Violence (https://www.pdresources.org/
1. Seemingly minor incidents can have long-lasting and far-reaching consequences. Everyone – policymakers, practitioners, advocates, and the general public – must understand the degree to which children in this country live with violence in their daily lives and make a coordinated effort to help the children and their families who suffer these effects.
2. Adults like first responders who are involved in incidents of domestic violence and deal with victims in their aftermath (e.g., police, emergency room physicians and nurses, social workers, domestic violence advocates, and judges) should be aware not only of the adult victims but also of the children who may have witnessed the incident.
3. Clinicians and policy-makers need to collaborate to develop and expand effective screening tools that can identify children who are suffering emotionally, socially, physically, and developmentally so that they can reach out and help those children and their families.

Break Out the Bubbly
It's 2016! Happy New Year! I always love this time of year. It's a great time to reflect back over the previous year; all that has happened, what goals I reached and what challenges stood in my way. It's a learning experience every year and one from which I usually emerge energized and ready to make a fresh start.
Our New Year's celebrations have varied widely over the years. Some years we are traveling back to our current residence after visiting family for the holidays. Other times we spend the evening quietly, just my husband and I fighting off the sleepiness as we watch the TV and wait for the ball to drop on Times Square before heading off to bed. And still other times we invite the neighborhood over for a rousing good time, entertaining children and adults alike and enjoying food and frivolity over a few cocktails.
Even though we are never sure what our New Year's Eve will shape up to be, I still enjoy the celebration every year. The quiet, the chaos; it's all a consequence of our military life, where it takes us, and the people we are surrounded by. I usually imbibe in a bottle of bubbly every year; it's my own New Year's tradition – whether I'm drinking alone or with a bunch of my friends.
No matter the party atmosphere, it's a little more festive and inviting when the champagne is displayed on our beautiful rustic Glacier Country Countertop Wine Rack. It is the centerpiece of our buffet, showcasing the local wines I enjoy and the special holiday selections this time of year.
Happy New Year to all of you, no matter what your celebration shapes up to be this December 31st. Cheers to you and me and Auld Lang Syne!

Dear Santa
Dear Santa: I've been good this year. Well, I might have slipped up a few times. Okay, maybe a lot of times. But I always try to be good! Eat well, exercise, be nice to others (even when I really don't want to be!). I know this sounds selfish, but I'd really like to get a present for myself this year.
You see, I am in love with rustic barnwood furniture. I could easily fill my whole home with it, and the deck, and even the garden shed in the backyard too. The only thing holding me back is my checkbook and that whole "trying to be good" thing.
But I found a blowout deal on a barnwood vanity, Santa. It's a real bargain. I know I don't really need it for my bathroom. But I have a craft room that could sure use some organization. You see, it may be called a vanity, Santa, but it would sure fit the bill for my craft room too. It's nice and sturdy so it can be a handy work surface too.
So, Santa, I hope it's okay if I go ahead and place an order for this 48″ Wall Left Barnwood Vanity – Blowout Special!. After all, shipping is free so you won't even have to figure out how to haul it on your sleigh. And it will last me a really long time, since it's made out of real wood and all. It's kind of a no-brainer, Santa. I have to act fast, though, 'cuz there is only one left and it has my name all over it.
I know you'll approve, Santa. After all, I have been pretty darn good this year. And it will make me so very happy.

Red Barns: Fashion or Function?
Most of us have admired numerous barns across the countryside, but have you ever wondered why so many are red? Have you ever wondered why red was the color of choice for barn painters of the past?
Farmers often used linseed oil to seal the wood of their barns. This treatment yielded a rustic earthy color, and varied according to what additions were made to the oil. It has been said that farmers would commonly add ferrous oxide, commonly known as rust, to the oil. Rust was cheap and plentiful, and provided the benefit of a natural mold and moss deterrent. Of course, the addition of rust also yielded a red-orange color to the wood to which it was applied. Hence, the red hue of the barns.
Over time, barns bedecked in red paint became as much a reason of fashion than function. The bright red color provided a striking contrast to the traditionally white farmhouse. Once paint began production with chemical pigments, red was also the most cost efficient color to buy. This was, of course, appealing to the pocketbook of the typically frugal farmer.
While the barns of our landscape are usually some form of red, the beautiful barnwood furniture that some of us incorporate into our homes is anywhere from a chippy red color to mostly bare weathered wood. Lumber reclaimed from barns no longer has to be sealed with linseed oil to protect it from the elements. Its days of braving Mother Nature's weather patterns are over; instead its natural enemies are pets and children who play on or around it. The stately Rustic Mountain Barnwood Farmhouse Trestle Table is now a treasured accent piece of a rustic home's interior, sheltered by a roof and walls. The reclaimed barnwood furniture that now resides in our dining room is envied by its friends in the countryside, still left with their red coats to brave nature's fury.

Outside In
Many of my friends ask me why I have such a love for rustic furniture. I invite them into my house and they look around disapprovingly, looking for any trace of the décor they consider to more acceptable; posh, modern, sleek and sophisticated. I just smile and offer them a hot cup of coffee and a seat in my comfiest Beartooth Aspen Upholstered Log Chair.
My affinity for rustic is rooted in a deep appreciation of nature. I can spend hours hiking in the woods, sitting beside a creek, admiring a waterfall, or perched on a mountain overlook. Furniture that so closely resembles all that I love outdoors brings all those wonderful experiences and adventures into my home. I feel like Mother Nature knocked on the front door and delivered a big warm hug.
Although I love my friends, I also love my "sticks and twigs" furniture. I'm not about to give either one up anytime soon. Unless, of course, one of my friends makes me choose between one or the other…then someone's feelings might get hurt. Haha!

Deer Hunter Husband
The upcoming Christmas holiday makes for a festive and exciting time for many people. Shopping, baking, camaraderie, and family all abound at this most special time of the year. But for some folks like my husband, December signifies something else of great excitement…hunting season!
Although he gets giddy like a schoolboy, my husband's excitement is not completely focused on hunting deer. No, his ideal deer season is more about camaraderie with his buddies; chasing down whitetails during the day and sharing beers and stories at night. These are guys he grew up with, went to school with, that he has known almost his entire life. Hunting deer with them is close to one of the best things in the world to him.
He does get his deer & fill his tag. As if the meat for the freezer isn't enough, he also deems it necessary to mount his trophy. The big rack that simply cannot be cast aside, but instead must somehow be treasured for infamy. Every year a new trophy comes along. The first couple received the traditional treatment…a trip to the taxidermist to become a wall mount. But then my mighty hunter husband tires of the "same old" and seeks out new ways to display his bucks.
The trophies from a year or two can be combined into an antler chandelier. Speaking from a personal view, I'm a little more pleased to display his "trophies" in this fashion. I can imagine that other ladies with a hunter in their life might feel the same way. Everyone is happy; he can proudly point out his catch to visitors but the chandelier is stylish enough for the wife to allow it a prominent place in the dining room.
This deer season, if you have a hunter in your home, you might encourage him to consider turning his bounty into a beautiful Tamarack Whitetail Deer Chandelier. Remind him that a happy wife means a happy life! (And more cooperation when he wants to spend a week with the boys.)
Happy hunting!

The Perfect Marriage
I am an HGTV junkie. Have I admitted that before? I may or may not binge watch on an occasional weekend day (don't judge!). I get a boatload of inspiration from the programs! (Although, HGTV, if you're reading this: enough with House Hunters & Property Brothers already. They're great and everything, but I'd love some more Flea Market Flip!) But, I digress.
On a recent episode of House Hunters Renovation, the couple searching for a home had wildly different tastes in design. He liked rustic style with a lot of wood while she preferred a more contemporary theme in a home. It seemed this marriage was doomed to find a home that was decorated to suit both their tastes…or was it?
If this sounds like the story of you and your spouse, do not despair. Your marriage is not in jeopardy – after all, opposites attract – right? Or, maybe in the case of home décor, opposites call for a challenging but unique decorating theme. In the case of the aforementioned couple, the GroovyStuff Pronto End Table satisfies his love of rustic and reclaimed wood while the curved lines and funky features are a reflection of her contemporary style.
By combining characteristics of two styles, you make your home uniquely yours. Even if you and your spouse have completely different taste in design, you can create the perfect marriage in your home.

From Trunk to Shining Slab
Ah, the splendor of the holidays! It's a time of year that many love, but also causes a lot of stress for a lot of us. From meal planning to gift buying, travel plans; fulfilling holiday traditions, decorating…it can be a lot of commitment and demanding of an already overfilled schedule. Somehow "happy holidays" has turned into "stressful season".
This year I see signs that some people are changing things up. Efforts like the #OptOutside movement by REI encourage folks to enjoy simple pleasures instead of the madness of Black Friday shopping. Stores are announcing their intent to stay closed all day on Thanksgiving so their employees can enjoy time with their families.
At my house, we are doing things like buying fewer gifts and trying to create experiences instead. We are focusing on the true meaning of Christmas and spending time together as a family. I am even eliminating some of the clutter around the house and adding accent pieces that remind us of the simple joys in life.
With this mindset, replacing our too-small, too-rickety dining table took on a different flavor. We weren't interested in getting the biggest or the best or the fanciest, but instead something that fulfilled our needs, was sturdy enough to stand the test of time, and was made of natural materials. When we found the Black Walnut Slab Dining Table on Cedar Stump, a table crafted from a slab taken from a walnut tree trunk, we knew it was perfect for our family. Gathering around its natural beauty at dinner every night is a perfect reminder of all that we want to experience in life. And, at the holidays, it is the perfect place to display the centerpiece we create as a family project.
Here's to more happy this holiday and less stress for your season!

Winter Wear Hideaway
It's November, and even though it's a little difficult to believe…the snow will start flying here any day now. This year we've been blessed with a warm and colorful fall, but the cold winds have blown a couple of times and darkness of night comes a little earlier every day.
A couple of weeks ago, I dug into the storage closet and dug the winter wear out in preparation of colder weather. Even though I'm excited to enjoy the first snowflakes of winter, I dread the layers and pieces of clothing that comes along with outdoor fun in the snow. I cringe when I think of boots and mittens and hats shed inside the front door, littering the entry and cluttering up the floor.
This year I decided to combat the clutter with a handsome hideaway for all the boys' winter wear. I invested in a rustic reclaimed barnwood trunk with drawers that fits neatly in our front entry and offers three drawers in which to stash mittens, hats, scarves…and maybe even some toy snowplows.
Even though I'm a little sad to see the beautiful autumn leaves flutter away, I welcome winter to join us with all its snowy fun-filled days. Bring it on, Old Man Winter! With the Cottage Barnwood 3 Drawer Entry Bench, I'm ready for you now!

Seasonal Switch
I am a Christmas fanatic. It has always been that way; my paternal grandmother used to go over-the-top with Christmas decorations and I think some of that rubbed off on me, even when I was very young. Many years later, I don't even approach the amount of decorating my grandmother reached, but I do love to deck the halls of our home.
For most of the year, we display our patriotism and proudly drape red, white, and blue in every corner of our house. But after Halloween, and when the calendar turns over to November, a transformation begins to occur. The colors that never run take a long winter's nap as the snowmen come out to play.
Even the artwork gets a facelift for a few months of the year. Framed pictures are covered with seasonal prints like the Joy of Snow, snowmen, winter scenes, and Santas. The scented wax burners are filled with pine scented goodness, and the smell of evergreens permeates our living space.
Every fall I'm excited to make the seasonal switch. It's the bright spot of shorter days and colder temperatures. And somehow, when springtime rolls around again, I'm sad and hesitant to put the creatures of winter back into hiding until November rolls around again.
Season's greetings to all!

The Center of the Home
At this time of year, when the sun comes up late and disappears below the horizon so early in the evening, outdoor activities with the kids are limited to the short daylight hours. No longer do they play outside until bedtime; evening entertainment moves inside and mom & dad have to devise creative ways to channel all that youthful energy.
There is one tool I've found in the home that provides the center for hours of activities: the dining room table. I'm sure many would argue, but I consider it the center of the home. It's the foundation and gathering space for craft projects, homework, family game night, Lego towers, cooling cookies, and of course – family meals.
With all this activity, you want to be sure you have a table that stands up to the rigors of your family. Be prepared to suffer a scratch or ten as your kids create masterpieces on its surface. A rustic real wood table is the perfect choice to withstand the test of time and active children. If the table top happens to get scratched, consider it part of the character of the wood. Or, grab a little sandpaper and get to work on the spot, then cover it back up with a bit of varnish and voila – back to perfect!
Don't let daylight savings get you down. Invest in a sturdy Homestead Barnwood Square Kitchen Table to make your days – and nights – much brighter this winter. And then enjoy the giggles and wiggles that happen all around it on a daily basis!

"My cats love these. They are quick and simple to make. For anyone unfamiliar with the yarn that is suggested for the pattern, it is a fingering weight, 4 ply yarn that is 100 percent cotton. I used worsted weight and a 3.5mm hook for mine, so I wouldnt have to worry about the cats pulling the stuffing out through any holes."

"What does (K1. Inc 1 st in next st.) mean? I think st means stitch, but I don't understand how to do what it says. Thank you "
"This is absolutely stunning! I love it. I love vintage China and this is one way to display it. For my own personal taste I would use less pieces in the back, or even paint the background to make it pop more, and use the broken pieces on,y around the border as a type of frame. But that's just me. Alternatively, using less cups and just feature a ew with the broken pieces may set them off better. But all in all this is a great idea and display! Love it!"
Waste Canvas Leaf Table Runner

Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Purchased waste canvas allows you to cross-stitch on any type of fabric. Create a table runner with colorful leaves in cross-stitch, perfect for autumn entertaining or Thanksgiving. This runner from Dimensions matches the cross-stitch Leaf Place Mats.
- two Leaves of Autumn kits #35014
- two packages 14 count waste canvas: 12" x 18"
- 2 1/2 yards of medium weight fabric for the table runner
- 2 1/4 yards of lightweight fabric for the lining
- 5 yards of coordinating piping
- sewing thread
- permanent fi ne tip marker
- zipper foot for all machine stitching
- Leaf Patterns and Instructions [pdf]
This project includes many diagrams and leaf patterns, so please see the printable pdf above for full instructions.
Wash and dry the fabrics to preshrink them. Wash and air dry the thread from the kit to preshrink it. Mark the outline of the table runner as shown in the diagram (pdf). Use a pencil or the permanent marker. By not cutting your fabric right away, you can use a hoop to stitch if you like. Save the rest of the fabric for napkins.
Print two copies of each pattern sheet--pages 2, 3, and 4 of the pdf. Use the diagram (pdf) to identify the leaves on the chart from the instruction sheet.
To transfer the leaf shapes (pdf) to waste canvas, place the pattern under the canvas. Align the edges of the pattern with the blue threads of the canvas. Trace edges of the pattern and the black outlines with the permanent marker. The lines do not have to be perfect; you will be using them as a guide only. Cut out the pieces of waste canvas and save the patterns.
Using the color picture above and the diagram on page 2 as guides, place pieces of waste canvas in the desired positions. When you are satisfi ed with the position of everything, baste the waste canvas in place with sewing thread.
Start to stitch each leaf at the point marked with a blue arrow on the pattern. Stitch only the Cross Stitches, not the Half Cross Stitch shadows. Work the Cross Stitches over two canvas threads horizontally and vertically. Be careful not to pierce the canvas threads as you stitch and remember it's OK that your stitching does not match the outlines, you will be removing the canvas. When you finish the Cross Stitches, remove the basting. Dampen the canvas with water until the canvas softens. Pull out the canvas threads one by one with your fi ngers or tweezers. In tight spots, you can cut the canvas threads for easier removal. Add the Back Stitch details after you remove the canvas. Cut out the table runner fabric. Cut the lining to match. Pin the piping to the table runner, placing the piping stitching 1/2" in from the edge of the table runner. Clip the piping fabric at the corners to make it lie fl at. Allowing a 2" overlap at the end, trim the excess piping.
To finish, remove the stitching from the last 2" of piping. Trim the piping cord so it abuts the starting end. Trim the piping fabric so you can turn it under about 1/4". Reposition the fabric around the cord. Baste the piping to the table runner, working along the piping stitching.With the right sides facing, sew the table runner and lining together with a 1/2" seam allowance. Leave a 6" opening in one side. At the corners, trim the seam allowance almost to the stitching line. Turn the table runner right side out and press the edges. Slip stitch the opening closed.

Hello All:
So, I have a question for anybody/everybody. Has anybody else been witnessing unusual star activity in the skies? I have tracked the stars, watched the skies all of my life. I know the stars, I know where they belong. I know the constellations, I know the weather.
Over a year ago, I have been seeing unusual stars appearing in my skies. They have an unusual color pattern, and they move in strange ways. They do not appear on any star charts anywhere. I am not the only one who has witnessed them. My beloved has seen them multiple times. She and I have spent a lot of time tracking them. Also my mom, my children and a few others have witnessed them.
Basically, they move erratically covering large areas of the sky, they become more active when they are watched. They move at impossible speeds and change direction and angles in a way that wouldn't be possible for atmospheric objects. Yet at the same time, they don't always disappear when clouds should be blocking them. They appear and disappear at random, like they are struggling to stay visible. Lately they have been increasing in number.
Also, I have been noticing that the stars seem out place. Constellations are out place, showing up at the wrong times, facing the wrong direction. The moon has been visible at odd times and places too. I am aware of the procession of the equinoxes, and that's not what I am describing. I have noticed that Venus is unusually bright as well. So many strange things lately, I can't list them all. Strange weather, flashes of light, loud booms on clear days so I know it isn't thunder, dog looking at the sky crying, odd behavior from the local live stock, pets and wildlife, and on and on.
I have also been having overwhelming deja Vu more and more frequently. Strange and vivid nocturnal R.E.M. Activity, deep disturbances in my spirit. And so on, and so on. I am a firm believer in the UFO demon connection, I am convinced the link is firmly established, too.
Sorry for the lengthy post, just wondering if anybody else is experiencing anything similar to any of this anywhere out there.
Romans 8:38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers, nor things that are present, nor things to come, nor powers, 8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.February 27, 2017 at 9:14 am #128859

Haven't watched the stars but human behavior is off the charts.
The eyes of the Lord range throughout the entire earth, to strengthen those whose heart is true to him.February 27, 2017 at 12:30 pm #128864
You'll get no argument from me there. People are getting more violent and irrational daily. I've even noticed just day to day, people are getting more angry and impatient all the time. Nobody has time for courtesy and normal pleasantries any more. It's so hard to be surrounded by negativity all the time.
This is just for laughs, but my youngest son wanted to play a game that's allows complete carnage and violence and lawlessness. I explained the game to him, told him about my disapproval, but allowed him access to said game. He insisted he wanted to do open world driving and such wasn't interested in the violence. Well, he was playing the game, and I caught him using the game to do good deeds. Returning stolen property to people and such. Does my heart good.

In my life, in day to day dealing with people, I've noticed a surprising increase of goodwill and a little of the opposite – an increase of anger, impatience, etc. It makes me think that people are committing to one side or the other, rather than coasting along in the middle. I'm just blessed to be coming in contact with mostly nice people rather than meanies.
Venus does seem especially bright. I haven't seen any unusual aerial or space activity, and frankly I don't want to! For about the past year the moon has seemed to me to be in odd places, but I tell myself I probably wasn't taking note of moon positions in the past, it's probably just my imagination. Then why does it seem odd? My sleep patterns have changed a lot, and I find myself awake between 2 and 4 in the morning most nights. It's not insomnia, because I can return to sleep if I want to right away. But I like being awake at that time, don't know why. That's probably age!
Nothing seems abnormal or ominous, but I suppose we should not be surprised that things happening in the spirit world would have an effect here. It's important that we pray for protection, and I especially pray for protection for my dreams. Also, reading from the Bible a little is helpful to do right before going to sleep.
I used to hear the occasional unexplained loud booms, but not in the past few months.
Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.March 1, 2017 at 8:54 pm #128948
Yes. I have noticed. Tonight was the first night and I have no idea what it is.
There is a massive bright object in the sky that is it normally not there and it's not moving. It dwarfs planes that fly "by" it so it's not a drone. It's not a star that I am aware of and I am very familiar with the Arizona sky.

A Vendetta and a Threat
I guessed it must have been late evening when Jeremy Wayne appeared at the cell door. I was leaning back against the cell wall, staring up at the ceiling and examining the patterns in the mouldy stone. Vengeance had been dragged out for a fight around an hour earlier, trying to disembowl the guards as they wrestled with him, and nearly succeeding several times. No-one who came to catch Vengeance came out unscathed.
The cell was unusually quiet in his absence, so the sound of the bolt being dragged across the doorframe made me jump alarmingly. I got to my feet and watched as the door opened to reveal a tall man with pale blond hair and watery green eyes looking at me as if I were a sewer rat. He could have been well-muscled, but years of inactivity had turned much of that muscle into fat. Compared to my sparse physique, he was positively pudgy.
"Hello Gavin." said Wayne, wrinkling his nose at the stench in the room, "I'm surprised you're still here. Haven't those other cut-throats finished you off yet?"
"Surprisingly, no." I replied, smirking as the optimism in my voice triggered a snarl from Wayne. Gods knew that man hated my guts. Understandable, given what I'd done.
Wayne snorted, "Well then, I'll simply have to wait until your luck runs out. I didn't make sure you were sent here to watch you win these fights. I sent you here to get killed."
"I never would have guessed." I replied, my words biting into Wayne like midges.
The next thing I knew, Wayne's face was an inch from my own and his hand was clenched just beneath my jaw. He pushed his bullish face closer and hissed with a voice like a volcano that's about to explode.
"Don't make me angry," he snarled, "You do not want to make me angry now. If none of the low-lifes in here will finish you off then I damn well will! And you will die, Gavin Ryder, mark my words, you will die. I'll make you pay for what you did to Lucas!"
"That swine deserved what he got," I spat back, grabbing Wayne's pudgy wrist and twisting it hard, "If I hadn't knifed him then someone else sure as hell would have. He'd been messing in things that ought not be messed in. I warned him to keep his nose out of it, but he didn't listen. So I gave him what he had coming. And let me tell you something Fatso, even ending up in this place doesn't detract from the satisfaction I get when I think of how he screamed when I stuck my knife in his belly and gutted him like a-"
I never finished my sentence. The guard who had escorted Wayne in, having got wind of the commotion, presently strode across the room and gave me a sound thump across the face with his truncheon. I yowled and let go of Wayne, he wriggled out of my grip and made for the door, shouting back over his shoulder as he went:
"Your days are numbered Ryder! I won't let you get away with this! You'll die before the year is out, I swear it!"
I replied with a torrent of bad language, still fuming even as the bolt slammed home in the door behind them and Wayne's footsteps faded from hearing.
I swore that if I ever got out of the Arena alive, I'd make Wayne come for a visit.
With a horde of hungry lions for hosts.

Congrats...to the pistol-packin' momma...

Well today was the day for the wife to take her CHL class. I did my renewal and left the class about 10 a.m. Probably a good thing I left her on her own.
She completed her class, and did well, only missed 2 of the questions on the written test, and shot well. She wanted me to add up her score from her target but since there as a big hole in it I couldn't see all 50 shots. Apparently some of the guys there commented by saying, wow, your a pretty good shot to her. I think that made her feel pretty good.
When I went to picked her up, and asked her on the way home if she learned anything she replied, that she did but could list everything she learned. I asked her if she was ready to carry every day once she gets her license, her reply was well maybe not every day. This is great progress, and I am stoked.
So, hopefully in about 2 months she will be official. I am not worried about background check etc, since she has never even had a speeding ticket. Just time now.
Soon to have a pistol packin momma.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

Congrats to your wife. Know you are proud. I hope to be in your position one day next year...and be grinnin ear to ear when my wife gets her CWP.
Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.
Congrats to your wife. Hopefully the wait won't be too long.

My wife isn't nearly into guns and CCW as I am, BUT she knows that she needs to CCW and she is diligent about it. Makes me feel a lot better.
Congratulations on your wife's progress.
Attached is a picture I like, it's not my wife, and in fact I wouldn't care about her wearing that statement, but the message is great nevertheless.
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
Congrats to you. It is very comforting going out knowing that there is at least one person that has your back if something goes down.
The other bonus for me is that my wife does not drink, so at my company's Christmas party last night, I was able to take advantage of the 4 hour open bar, and the wife was carrying my XD40SC in her clutch bag. On the way home we hit a traffic sobriety checkpoint, and we talked about how to handle things if the officer asked to see her license (no way to show it without exposing the pistol (very small bag)). He didn't, and CT has no disclosure law so we went about our merry way.

She appreciates all the replies. She asked me this morning when she noticed I was on DC if I told everyone that she passed her class. I said yes, and asked if she wanted to read the thread. She did.
She has since bragged to some of our friends that she has passed the class as well. So far it is just to those that have their CHL or their husbands do.
Now comes holster shopping time. During the class yesterday the instructor apparently said something about holster etc, that the people will end up with several more than likely. Her response was that holsters for men were like shoes for women, they just seem to keep piling up. The instructor apparently agreed, and suggested that maybe an organized holster swap might not be a bad idea.
Here is a picture of her target. In Texas we shoot 50 rds, from distances of 9, 21 and 45 feet. Not too bad for only having that ugly black G19 for less than a month and with only a few hundred rounds through it before the class.

I had a piece of luggage like this one growing up and I looked everywhere (toysrus, target, etc) and either couldn't find it or wasn't willing to pay over $40 bucks for it. So I ordered this one for my son in Lime green, which is not too too bright but just the right shade. It doesn't hold much, but if it held a lot, he wouldn't be able to carry it anyway. The whole point really is sooo my little man can feel like a big guy. If you need the extra space, I suggest ordering the rolling duffle. But it's still a great product!
This is just adorable - my other grand children each have one, and they love it - it's sooo cute

Donald Trump's win means the Supreme Court is potentially back in play — and that federal gun control is likely off the table (for now).
But that's not stopping powerful anti-gun billionaires from spending millions of dollars to pass even more restrictive gun control laws at the state and local level. (Especially in historically pro-gun states like Washington, Oregon, and Nevada.)
To stop those attacks, every pro-gun patriot — like YOU — will need to stand up for your Second Amendment rights at every opportunity.

Barack Obama wanted to be a transformative president. One way he is doing so is by the kinds of appointments he has been making.
So the nomination of Elena Kagan as a justice of the Supreme Court bears close scrutiny. At age 50, she could serve on the court for decades, leaving a legacy for good or for ill for generations to come.
Kagan, whom Obama nominated May 10, would if confirmed be the first Supreme Court justice in 40 years to come to the high court without prior judicial experience. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though the lack of a "paper trail" makes it a little more difficult to know how such a nominee would vote in cases that come before the court.
We do know from other evidence, though, that the solicitor general and former Harvard Law School dean is pro-abortion and sympathetic to the homosexual-rights cause.
Americans have a right to know how she would decide on issues that impact the future of people's lives, especially unborn lives.
Issues that may come before the court over the course of the coming decades include same-sex "marriage," and Kagan seems sympathetic to that cause. It's foreseeable that the challenge to California's Prop. 8, which restricts marriage to one man and one woman, could soon make its way to the Supreme Court.
As solicitor general, Kagan defended the Defense of Marriage Act. But that tells us little, since it is the job of the solicitor general to defend American law before the Supreme Court.
She also said, during her confirmation hearings for that position, that she didn't believe there was a constitutional right to same-sex "marriage." She later clarified what she meant.
"Constitutional rights are a product of constitutional text as interpreted by the courts and understood by the nation's citizenry and its elected representatives," she wrote to Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., March 18, 2009.
As National Review legal blogger Ed Whelan pointed out, "Kagan was saying only that the courts haven't yet invented a federal constitutional right to same-sex 'marriage.'"
Of course, earlier in her career, she was under no obligation to defend U.S. law, so it's revealing that she took the audacious step of banning military recruiters from the campus of Harvard Law because she found the Clinton-era policy of "don't ask, don't tell" in the U.S. military discriminatory. In a letter to students in 2003, she called the policy "a moral injustice of the first order."
On the right to life, there is plenty of cause for concern. Pro-abortion organizations Planned Parenthood and Emily's List have endorsed Kagan, and she has contributed financially to the pro-abortion National Partnership for Women and Families. Kagan "listed membership in" the partnership in a questionnaire she submitted in connection with her 1999 nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, a nomination that ended when the Senate Judiciary Committee's Republican chairman Orrin Hatch scheduled no hearing.
Kagan has criticized federal regulations that prohibited recipients of Title X family-planning funds, taxpayer dollars, from counseling women to get abortions — arguing they amounted to the subsidization of "anti-abortion" speech.
As several states' attorneys general have brought lawsuits against Obamacare, it's worth wondering how a Justice Kagan might vote on the crucial issue of taxpayers being forced to subsidize immoral practices such as abortion.
Kagan is used to being grilled. Now, instead of testifying before the Supreme Court, she'll go before the Senate Judiciary Committee. But will that panel ask the questions you want them to ask?
This editorial will appear in the May 23 print edition of the Register. To subscribe, please call (800) 421-3230.
Mr. William Folger has hit the nail on the head. Thank God for some sanity in this crazy world. Maybe we are in the end times.????
"But will that panel ask the questions you want them to ask?" The answer is NO if we let mediamatters.org get away with misleading citizens via a *crucial omission* in their "Myths and falsehoods [explanations] about Elena Kagan's Supreme Court nomination"—that Brian offered as a link in his May 16 comment. If that omission goes unchallenged the Senate Judiciary panel will get far too little pressure on vital questions Elena Kagan *must* be grilled on.
Given Kagan's disturbing record on life issues and her apparently low regard for the Constitution itself, BEFORE the June 28 Kagan Hearings start we God-respecting citizens need to critically examine President Obama's long term self-serving behavior in the area of demanding EMPATHY be exhibited in governing, law making and judging.
So important did Obama make the "exhibiting" of empathy that Senator Obama in 2005 felt bound to vote against John Roberts' confirmation to the USSC on the *SOLE* ground that *he* saw almost no empathy exhibited by Roberts' rulings. Mediamatters *omitted* this very revealing Obama-bias which was further discredited even by "pro-choice", ranking Democrat Sen. Patrick Leahy's *opposite action* toward Roberts—his voting FOR Roberts' confirmation as a matter of *conscience*, no less! Obama simply feared the now Chief Justice Roberts being on our Highest Court.
Consider carefully reading Obama's real disposition toward empathy (first link below) as revealed by him in 2005: "that *last mile* can only be determined on the basis of one's deepest values, one's core concerns, *one's broader perspectives on how the world works*, and the *depth* and *breadth* of one's empathy". [emphasis added]
Note Obama's assigning TWO dimensions to signal just how vital empathy is to his nominee selections! So why should Americans be less concerned about Kagan? The "last mile" is his stated code for the really tough "5%" of cases where differences between a Scalia and a Ginsberg will be super-affected by the differences in their philosophies and depth and breadth of empathy.
A full reading of his 2005 speech suggests that later, during the heated 2008 election, the Obama team *learned for its future use* how to cleverly put empathy at *list's-end* to give it an unalarming "also ran" type description such as mediamatters' example in Brian's link: "Obama has said that he seeks nominees who are dedicated to "the rule of law" and "our constitutional tradition" and who *also* exhibit empathy."
Even more crucial for any trust "owed" a President is that Obama who still preaches "exhibit empathy", himself exhibits *none whatsoever* with his own professed Savior's feelings over HIS babies slaughtered daily in huge numbers via Obama's executive orders and his facilitations of legislation and composition of the courts. A president showing zero empathy toward his savior will treat us with no empathy if we get in his way.
Since Barack Obama as both Senator and President professes to be a Christian, our examination of the man Obama must include reference to St. John 1:3. St. John teaches that "Through [Christ] all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made". God's new children, no matter how undeveloped, are not exempt from the "all" in John 1:3 Therefore it is President Obama's *unnecessary* diligence in promoting, facilitating and protecting abortion "rights" that grievously offends Jesus.
Obama team web-crawlers likely came across the Jesus / Empathy conundrum with Obama in the following link, including its interior link to what Republicans failed to take advantage of, dating back to 2006, yet permanently available to Republicans if only they wake up during the *2010* campaigns:
Fellow Americans Call & Write the Senate Judiciary Committee members and be *emphatic* about their probing for the depth and breadth of Kagan's empathies. We know that nominees can dodge everything that *might* come up for a ruling. But continuing to play Russian roulette on the role of empathy is to destroy America. If the nominee wants the job, let's better understand what is inside them. While Obama touts "elections have consequences", that truth still has limits!
Consider that the topic of empathy is not yet as protected as is nominee comment on hypotheticals. If we value a responsibly-free America, nominees must be willing to reveal their core concerns, how they think the world works and their empathies – but not by being drawn out by "hypothetical cases". Rather, it needs to be that the nominees WRITE on those three areas *before* the actual Hearing time, with *their* choice of examples, as a matter of Respect for the rest of the 300 Million citizens to be affected by them perhaps for decades. If we let them insultingly write only with *trivial* examples as a dodge, then we are de facto telling the Supreme Court to go ahead and legislate from their benches. They are presumed to be bright; let that meaningfully show in their writing assignment.
Let the Kagan Hearings be America's first major response to almost Total Unaccountability of our Third Branch of Government. Our demand should be that empathy be both present and normal lest we have, for example, Kagan later ruling so much in favor of undocumented immigrants that Arizona citizens must live in constant fear because of "how the world works". These days it often works by Theory F = Fear, with individual "rights" allowed to unjustly dominate legitimate community rights.
Given what Nancy Pelosi asked of our American Catholic Bishops, the USCCB *owes* American Catholics a completely frank "white paper" explaining that some societal problems allow for *prudential* judgments as to what is right (e.g., quite possibly Arizona's new law) while others do not (e.g., procured abortion-killing of God's womb babies). Without proper attention to prudential latitude, the bishops who account for much of Obama's victory may again mislead America into a worse condition. They *owe* us sheep *clear explanations* in moral terms with explicit classification of the degree of "binding" and authority they assign to whatever is their position in the "white paper".
May I please offer these?
"Myths and falsehoods about Elena Kagan's Supreme Court nomination"
Legal experts contradict Limbaugh's claim that Kagan "doesn't like" First Amendment
How can anyone be surprised by the appointments of this president??? He does not honor life nor does he honor the Constitution; he does not honor Christianity nor does he honor this country. We can only hope and pray that he is a one term president and that the terrible damage he has done and continues to do can be undone…

Sometimes, it can feel like caring for a boy is just a little bit more challenging that caring for a girl, simply because we're girls ourselves. We all know the benefits and importance of spending one-on-one time with our sons, but it's easy and perfectly normal to find yourself with little energy left at the end of the day to engage our little men in something meaningful that doesn't involve tussles on the couch or mud on the floor.
It's true – boys do tend to thrive a lot more in physical activity, sweat and grime.
Don't worry – this list of 8 activities you can enjoy with your son will be just the thing to get you going! Oh, and an energy-boosting juice would probably help too.
1. Wash dad's car
Surprise Dad with a sparkling clean car, and get your son to be your accomplice! Even very young boys can help with wiping the car body dry or vacuuming the seat cushions. In case you've never cleaned a car before, here's a (commercial) video that shows you how!
2. Shoot some hoops
Who says only Dad can play basketball with his son? You can too! Get a ball and try dribbling with your son using shoes as cone markers. Practice passing to each other. Now it's time to shoot some hoops at the basketball court downstairs or at your nearest community centre!
Here's a video to help you:
3. Jump!
Work up a huge appetite with some crazy fun jumping for joy at Singapore's first and only trampoline park. Even if you've never jumped on a trampoline before, you'll get the hang of it in no time! Bounce away!
Amped Indoor Trampoline Park:ampedsingapore.com
4. Be a master builder
Did you catch the Lego Movie with your son? Most little boys love building and constructing all manner of creations, and blocks like Lego are great for inspiring creative little minds and developing their fine motor skills and spatial awareness. Invest in a model kit that you can work on together. Some examples below:
- For boys 0 – 2 years old: Farm Tractor
- For boys 3 – 4 years old: Juniors Construction
- For boys 5 – 6 years old: Police – The Great Escape
- For boys 7 – 8 years old: Fire Emergency
Bring him to: LEGO® BRICKBUSTA event from 4 – 26 October 2014 or KidsSTOP!
The event will give children aged 5 to 12 years old a chance to be real-life detectives, locate suspicious crooks and build their very own LEGO City Police Car! Cadets that successfully complete both activities will stand a chance to receive a LEGO City Police poster signed by a team of LEGO designers.

5. Play with the animals
If your son is an animal lover, bring him to The Animal, where he can interact with animals in a rural, kampong – like setting, a sight you don't often see in modern, cosmopolitan Singapore. The Animal Resort provides a boarding service for pets, somewhat like an animal version of a hostel. Members of the public are free to explore the grounds and interact with the many animals there. For a token fee, you can also purchase feed for the animals.

6. Craft with cardboard
Make good use of those empty cartons that have been cluttering up your storeroom or house these past few months (or years) and turn them into something splendid. Here are some fun ideas:
7. Go cycling
Rent a tandem bike and go for a spin along the East Coast Park. This way, you won't have to worry about your son speeding on ahead too fast in front of you, or lagging behind, and you'll work together to get the bike and yourselves to your destination. If your son is too young to ride a bike just yet, consider renting a bicycle with child-seat, so he can perch there comfortably and safely while you cycle.
Here are some parks and to cycle in Singapore.
8. Go on a nature trail
Take a long walk with your son. It could be around the neighbourhood, or in a park, or, if you're more adventurous and fit, up Bukit Timah Hill! Bring along a disposable camera, and let him have a go at snapping his own pictures. Pick up fallen leaves and twigs to examine. Stop to look at an interesting bird or to water a parched plant. Enjoy nature, enjoy life!

Why Did God Lie To Glenn Beck?
Glenn Beck claimed that Ted Cruz was anointed by God to be President of the United States. Speaking before the Indiana primary, Beck claimed that Indiana would be a "place of miracles," implying that Cruz would win the state. A few hours later Trump won Indiana in a landslide. And Cruz dropped out of the race.
This episode illustrates that even in (the current year), God is an important topic in American politics. And while most of White Europeans might be atheists, the Islamic invaders which are replacing Europeans are quite devout.
A few decades ago it looked like religion was headed to the dustbin of history. Now it looks like atheism is being replaced around the world.
The question of God, and his role in our lives, has been considered by many great thinks such as Leo Tolstoy. Roosh has a good article about the matter:
3 comments:
I was raised Christian and culturally I still consider myself Christian. But my belief in God is less literally "Christian" and more "Christian-influenced-spirituality" these days; although I still follow the main Christian religious observances out of a sense of culture. I don't think any organized religion has all the "right" answers, but Christianity is what I was born into and it's part of my heritage, so it's with the Christians that I cast my lot.ReplyDelete
By the way, any time I see the Book of Job mentioned, I am reminded of Terrence Malick's 2011 film "The Tree of Life" -- in my opinion the most beautiful film I've ever seen.
"Where were you when I laid the foundations of the Earth?... When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?"
The majority of White Europeans are not atheists, they're just watered down Christians like you are. Do you go to church, pray, do everything that a Christian should ? Neither do White Europeans.ReplyDeleteReplies
"they're just watered down Christians like you are"Delete
With a few notable exceptions, chiefly: (1) I've got 3 (soon to be 4) children; (2) I won't let Islamic thugs rape my sisters/daughters; and (3) I'm very well-armed.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - June 20, 1995, New Braunfels, Texas Tuesday, June 20,1995 ■ HeraJd-Zeitung ■ 7World, Nation Briefs ' Bosnian troops prepare for I sustained offensive I SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina ; (AP) — After last week's three-day blitz, government troops appeared to be settling in for a sustained offensive to wrest supply arteries leading into the capital from the control of rebel Serbs. The government and rebels alike claimed Monday to have captured or scattered enemy troops. But both sides limited access to strategic locations, making independent confirmation difficult. Government forces made substantial gains around Sarajevo last week, and at least temporarily cut two Serb supply roads, U.N. officials said. The Bosnian army appeared to be shifting troops around Sarajevo to maintain its offensive. Associated Press reporter Maud Bedman saw a large government army convoy in Kiseljak, west of Sarajevo, moving south toward another government town, Tarcin, the staging point for attacks on a Serb supply road. The army battled rebel Serbs all day north and northwest of the city, said Jim Landale, a U.N. spokesman. Chechen rebel make clean getaway BUDYONNOVSK, Russia (AP) — Chechen rebels who stormed a town in southern Russia returned today to their battered republic with up to 150 human shields, hoping to escape the police who shadowed them by fading into the Caucasus Mountains. After a circuitous journey through remote backcountry and a three-hour roadside stop this morning, the convoy of seven red-and-white buses — and a refrigerated truck carrying the bodies of slain rebels — passed into Chechnya. The rebels apparently were headed toward the southern town of Vedeno, where they plan to fade into the rebel-controlled mountains and elude Russian security forces. The ITAR-Tass news agency said the rebels also planned to release their volunteer hostages in that region. But Interior Ministry officials, who spoke on condition their names not be used, said their forces had the column under watch and the rebels would not escape. lf th* shoe fits, present It In court LOS ANGELES (AP) — If the gloves don't fit — see if the shoes do. That was the prosecution's tactic in the OJ. Simpson trial Monday, when an FBI shoe print expert testified that Simpson's size 12 feet match bloody shoe prints from a pair of rare, expensive Italian shoes. The next witness is a shoe salesman from the Bloomingdale's department store in New York, which stocked the Bruno Magli shoes linked to the prigts found near the bodies of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Shoe department manager Sam Poser was to testify today. He has told investigators that he has seen Simpson in the store, but has no receipts — or even a clear memory — showing that Simpson ever bought a pair of Bruno Magli shoes, sources said. Indeed, the prosecution's shoe evidence appears to be among the weakest of the extensive physical evidence in the murders of Simpson's ex-wife and her friend. Man executed today for fatal stabbing 18 years ago HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — A man who said he snapped after his wife didn't cook a casserole the way he liked it was executed by injection early today for a fatal stabbing. "I would like to say that I have no animosity toward anyone," John Fearance Jr., 40, said in his final statement. "I made a mistake 18 years ago. I feel like I'm not responsible for what I done because I had a bad psychotic break." rm i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i bi ATTENTIONAll GVEC Members!!

Nanoscience at the ACS San Diego Meeting
Among the more than 9,200 papers being presented at the ACS National Meeting in San Diego this March, approximately one in seven will focus on biotechnology or nanotechnology/nanoscience.
Collectively, ACS technical divisions will present more than 80 sessions addressing "nano", and more than 70 focusing on "bio". This emphasis mirrors the growing importance of these two rapidly developing multidisciplinary fields.

- Where can I get more information?
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking oxcarbazepine (Trileptal)?
You should not take this medication if you are allergic to oxcarbazepine.
To make sure you can safely take oxcarbazepine, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- liver disease;
- kidney disease; or
- if you are allergic to a similar medicine called carbamazepine (Carbatrol, Tegretol).
You may have thoughts about suicide while taking this medication. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening depression or suicidal thoughts during the first several months of treatment, or whenever your dose is changed.
Your family or other caregivers should also be alert to changes in your mood or symptoms. Your doctor will need to check you at regular visits. Do not miss any scheduled appointments.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether oxcarbazepine will harm an unborn baby. Having a seizure during pregnancy could harm both mother and baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication. Follow your doctor's instructions about taking oxcarbazepine while you are pregnant.
Oxcarbazepine can make birth control pills less effective. Ask your doctor about using a non hormone method of birth control (such as a condom, diaphragm, spermicide) to prevent pregnancy while taking oxcarbazepine.
If you are pregnant, your name may be listed on a pregnancy registry. This is to track the outcome of the pregnancy and to evaluate any effects of oxcarbazepine on the baby.
Oxcarbazepine can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while you are taking oxcarbazepine.
Do not give this medication to a child younger than 2 years old.
How should I take oxcarbazepine (Trileptal)?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results.
Oxcarbazepine should be taken twice daily.
Take oxcarbazepine with a full glass of water.
Shake the oral suspension (liquid) well just before you measure a dose. To be sure you get the correct dose, use the oral dosing syringe provided with this medicine. If you did not receive an oral syringe with your medication, ask your pharmacist for one.
Give the oral liquid directly from the oral syringe, or mix the medicine with a small glass of water. After using the syringe, rinse it with water and allow it to air dry.
Use oxcarbazepine regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.
Do not stop using oxcarbazepine without first talking to your doctor, even if you feel fine. You may have increased seizures if you stop using oxcarbazepine suddenly. You may need to use less and less before you stop the medication completely.
While using oxcarbazepine, you may need blood tests at your doctor's office. Visit your doctor regularly.
Wear a medical alert tag or carry an ID card stating that you take oxcarbazepine. Any medical care provider who treats you should know that you are using oxcarbazepine.
Seizures are often treated with a combination of drugs. Use all medications as directed by your doctor. Read the medication guide or patient instructions provided with each medication. Do not change your doses or medication schedule without your doctor's advice.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Throw away any unused liquid 7 weeks after opening the bottle.

Why do contract authors want CSS control? With our focus on separation of content from presentation, I think the user should have complete control over how content is rendered. If the contract authors have a "preferred default" CSS spec, we can just include it in default.css > Either way, the default.css (1.) or all from (2.) *have to* be defined in the default.fv > as e.g. <forrest:css url="default.css"/>. +1 > If no CSS is defined in the view then *no* css will be linked in the presentation. I don't think this is a very good idea. First users of forrest are often novices, and by default, we want to output a slick-looking site. We've already heard reports of people turning away from Forrest because none of the default skins were striking. So we *definitely* want a nice looking default implementation, at the same time making it easy for users to use their own CSS from scratch. > That will drop the need to UNDO the properties of the CSS files and open a > more efficient way to provide a custom css implementation for the contracts > ("simple option that controls inclusion of default CSS"). Right. If our default implementation resides in default.css, then users can simply use something like <forrest:css url="user.css"/> or something similar to use their own CSS stylesheet. Further, if they still want to inherit the default CSS and make changes on top of that (instead of starting from scratch, and this will lower the barrier to entry), they can simply import the default.css in their user.css > *Point 2 - css theming* > Have a look at this document and search for "theming": > "The view is creating the html-skelleton that is used for theming. > Themes are view dependent but e.g. you can write one theme for x view derivatives. > Theming adds colors and general appearance info. In html it's css files for example, > or the skinconf color information." > So my understanding is that we might want to retain things like "colors" across various views (HTML, PDF etc?) which is why specifying colors in skinconf is a good idea since doing colors in CSS only would restrict them to XHTML output. Or did I miss something? If thats the case, it sounds fine to me. > The idea (having point 1 in mind) should be to have 2 layers for the theming. > One adds the general appearance (default.css) the other enables color information (default.color.css). Lets avoid putting in two "default" CSS files. If we need to include color specs in CSS as well (apart from skinconf), lets just do it in default.css itself. IMHO, having something like default.color.css just makes things more confusing. Cheers -- Diwaker Gupta http://resolute.ucsd.edu/diwaker

The application to demolish the modern office block at the top of Canynge Rd and replace it with 5 flats at the rear of the site and 3 townhouses facing Canynge Rd was deferred by BCC's planning committee on Oct 19th 2016. Subsequently it would seem that the developers were unwilling to modify their scheme to take account of objections made by residents and councillors, and have instead decided to lodge an Appeal.
The matter came before councillors again on Feb 22nd when they were to decide the specific grounds on which they would resist the Appeal. However, mindful, it appears, of budget deficits at BCC, councillors took the surprise decision not to take any part in the Appeal proceedings in order to save money.
This planning application was first made two and a half years ago. It has been opposed by CHIS from the onset as being an over-development of the site, the buildings too tall, too close to the road and to the backs of 1-6 Canynge Square, thereby depriving them of light and privacy. Further, CHIS deplores the loss of mature trees, including the roadside plane tree, shrubs and other plants and replacing them with townhouses built right onto the pavement with no front gardens.
Another concern has always been the loss of the offices, where over 100 people are employed who daily patronise businesses in Clifton Village. The loss of their trade would certainly impact unfavourably upon the Village shops.
The design proposals for these new buildings are so unsympathetic to the architecture of surrounding listed buildings and other nearby buildings of merit that our architectural advisor has described the development as "Potentially far more harmful than any other Clifton application in recent years."
For these reasons CHIS will, despite the regrettable stance taken by BCC, support local residents in resisting this development, by being heard at the Appeal which is likely to take place before a planning inspector in May.
