Hello out there!
I had not posted on here in so long that I had to start a new account because I couldn't remember my login or related email account, so this is my "first"!
My family and I are moving back to Eugene, OR this summer (ideally). We lived there for a short time when our first child was just a toddler, so we did not look in to schools and remember very little about the area.
Can anyone weigh in on some of the schools I've been looking at? This being such a big move for my kiddos---all the way from PA---I want to get them into a school where they will stay.
A little background on us first---
My dd is going into middle school, 7th grade, next year. She started in a private Montessori, and from K-6 she's been in a wonderful public charter Montessori. She's quirky, loves to be involved in performing arts, and is a great artist and writer.
My ds went to a preschool that was arts-centered, then joined her at the public charter Montessori. He will be in 4th grade next year. He's pretty outgoing, also very artistic. He doesn't sit still for very long. And he loves to build stuff!
From afar---I am interested in Ridgeline Montessori, Jefferson Arts and Technology Academy,and the Family School. Also, Roosevelt Middle School seems to have good online reviews. I would LOVE for them to go to their new school together, but if we need to find separate schools that's ok too. I'd be ok with a public school for dd b/c I think it would work out just fine for her, as long as it wasn't too clique-y. She can be shy. For ds--he could be alright at a public school too, I don't know.
How competitive is the lottery process there? Would we have a fighting chance to pick a school in the middle of summer?
This seems really daunting to me and I would SO appreciate anyone's input that is familiar with the schools & neighborhoods.
Thanks...what specifically do you like about the family school? I was reading about it and it seems like it could be a good fit for us.
I thought it might be a problem, living far away and applying for the lottery. I am pretty sure we won't be able to afford private schools, so we'll have to aim for the best public schools?areas at this point I guess. There's always homeschooling, however I don't think that suits our family very well.
I'm hoping if I keep digging around I will find out more specifics about public schools.
Thank you for your input!
Oh, let's see....some thoughts in no particular order....
- Family School starts later than most (all?) of the other elementary schools in town -- 8:45 -- this works out really well for our family in terms of work and sleep schedules
- It's less than a mile from our house, so we walk or bike almost every day
- The families *seem* to generally be: mid- to -low-income, educated, crunchy, and concerned but not hippier-than-thou.
- Classrooms are mixed. My daughter's room is 1/3 1st graders, 1/3 2nd graders, and 1/3 third graders. The 4th & 5th grade kids are similarly split up. Kindergarten is single-grade.
- Classes aren't quite learn-at-your-own-pace but are pretty close
- I think that families are pretty mixed with regards to vaxxing. I know some who don't, we partial, I'm sure some kids are fully vaxxed.
- The kids seem to skew dorky/unique -- in a good way -- as far as I know, my daughter's never been teased for her clothes, her looks, her interests
- The most recent school fundraiser was through a seed buying company and they have a school garden
- They still do standardized testing, but there's not the strong focus on testing that we saw at our daughter's last school.
- Her Kindergarten school was Cesar Chavez. Many of the teachers I know in the district send their kids to Chavez, and the Chavez neighborhood is a relatively cheap one to move into. So, that might be something to think about.
- Eugene does have some language immersion schools that you might consider--spanish, french, and japanese. I would have liked to have enrolled our daughter in one of these schools, but distance became an issue. One of the things we love about Eugene is NOT having to drive all of the time.
- One plus for Chavez is that, even though it is not an immersion school, over half of the kids come from spanish speaking homes, so it's one of the more diverse schools in town.
- I don't know much about the middle schools; everyone seems to talk like South is the only decent high school
- Another thing to consider are after-school programs. Some of the "better" schools -- Edison springs to mind -- that are better funded have fee-based after school academic programs. These programs are not offered at the lower income schools because of the belief?/fact? that lower income families won't spend the extra money for the programs.
- If you qualify for free or reduced lunch, that CAN increase your chances in the lottery at some schools -- Edison, again, springs to mind.
- FYI, Edison is the elementary school around the university. Rentals are almost all student housing, so as a family it's next to impossible to either find a place that will rent to you or a place that you would want to live. You pretty much have to be crazy rich to buy a house in the Edison neighborhood.
Hope this helps and that some others who know about the other schools you mentioned can chime in!
est72---thank you!!! This is exactly the kind of "inside" info I'm looking for. It's funny, your description of the Family School sounds so much like the description that I'd give for my kids' current school. I will definitely keep it in mind. :)
Can anyone else out there speak from experience about some of those other schools???
Oh gosh, I haven't logged into this site for so long. This is probably my first post in years. :) I don't have anything concrete to tell you, but my girlfriend's daughter goes to Ridgeline and they LOVE it. They were dyed-in-the-wool homeschoolers, but life got in the way and this has definitely been the next best thing. She had been talking about wanting to move from Eugene before too long, until they found this school, and now she doesn't see them leaving. They went to Family School too but didn't have the same experience.
I'm jealous of the Eugene schools. My kids are in Seattle and we have found a good one, but it's not quite the same as the options that are in Eugene.
I got to visit Ridgeline when I was there last, and it's pretty neat. They love their teachers, and the classrooms and the school grounds were awesome.

Free Entry to National Parks to celebrate Spring
September in Cape Town is a special, celebrated time which heralds the start of the Spring season. With it comes not only the warmer weather but a great time for viewing the annual migration of whales to our shores and the dazzling kaleidoscope of colourful wildflowers on show in the veld, alongside the roads and at formal flower shows. Having endured a cold wet winter, the people of Cape Town love to get out and about during this time but the best news of all for visitors to Cape Town is that it is still regarded as part of the low season when accommodation rates are at their most affordable and many restaurants continue to promote special offers and discounts of up to 50%. Is it any wonder then that we call this the secret season of Cape Town?
South African national parks (SAN Parks) comes to the party by offering free entrance to SA residents at most of South Africa's 19 national parks between 9 and 13 September. The only exceptions are the Namaqua national Park and the Boulders beach Penguin colony which is part of the Table Mountain national Park (TMNP)where normal entrance fees apply. You should, however, remember to take a long your green bar coded ID document.
The closest of our national parks, the TMNP Park includes the Cape Point nature reserve offering spectacular views from the lighthouse of the meeting of the two oceans, game viewing and one of Cape Town's best but least utilised beaches which is at Buffels bay in the reserve. With a normal entrance cost of R250 for a family of four local people seldom can afford to enjoy this beach. Buffels Bay has an enormous and safe tidal swimming pool, a lovely white sand beach, expansive lawns and many braai or bbq pits, and clean changing rooms and latrines. Pack a picnic, or take along meat for a braai and take advantage of the free access to get out and enjoy this lovely family attraction.
Also in the TMNP is the Silvermine Reserve; situated at the top of Ou Kaapse Weg, which offers an ideal outing for the family. From the entrance and easy walk takes you through wooded glades and fynbos alongside a bubbling stream to the reservoir dam. The dam affords the opportunity for a cooling swim and on the shores are many picnic and braai (bbq) spots with stone benches and tables.
Another local attraction that romantic couples as well as families can enjoy free of charge during this time is Oudekraal, a small Sandy beach situated under the slopes of the 12 Apostles. The parking area is situated above the beach and is well signposted. The beach itself is surrounded by massive boulders that create a sheltered cove and many milkwood trees that create secluded nooks. Just above the beach to the left is a grassy area with braai places for afternoon picnics. This beautiful spot with its clear turquoise waters lovely white sand, milkwood trees and boulders is a peaceful haven as well as a popular location for wedding photographs.
Within less than an hour's drive from Cape Town is also the West Coast national Park, near Langebaan, where the Postberg section of the Park offers stunning natural displays of wildflowers as well as some game and a myriad of birds and is only open to the public during August and September of each year in order to preserve the wildflowers.
For more information please visit www.sanparks.org or call the SANParks on Tel: 021 689 4441

How lucky can a guy get with three girls over for a slumber party. I could just howl.! Playing puppy games. nibbling at their ears and pull some hair. What fun!
Woof Woof
I'm the little man of the house and I let everyone know it. I go outside to the back yard barking to let everyone know I'm here. Even though nobody can see me I'm there. I love my yard with all the soft green grass that I can kick up. The flowers that I can smell and dig up once in awhile. Which gets me in trouble. I'm out for adventure you see.
Today I got to run in my backyard. I let everyone know that it was me in the yard. I barked and barked to let all the neighborhood dogs know not to mess with me. Unfortunately my voice is high pitch like a girl. Lets Play its sunny outside and chase the birds.

From: Austin, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Groundcovers
Title: Native Groundcover for High Activity Location in Austin, TX
Answered by: Joan Singh
QUESTION:Howdy! We live in South Austin and have a smallish backyard that we're perennially working on. We have two young, very active dogs that spend a lot of time RUNNING and we never can keep ground cover alive. We've mainly tried grass -- bermuda & rye. It always dies off, especially in July & August. We were wondering, is there a native plant we could use for ground cover that would be better off for a varied shade, high activity location that would work well in clay soil? Thanks,
Mr. Smarty Plants ponders the combination of shade, high activity from the pitter patter of eight paws, and clay soils, and think we have the answer for you: MULCH.
It is unlikely that your small yard will accommodate native grasses or groundcovers that can thrive under the conditions you described. However, we have a plan to recommend: LANDSCAPING!
Let's look at this in detail. Mulch such as decomposed granite or shredded wood fiber is a good way to establish a play area for frolicking canines. It has the additional benefits of holding moisture in the ground, and protecting soil where the dogs "go". For a large area, mulch can be purchased in bulk and delivered to your address, or bagged mulch is an option. It will need to be replenished as it decomposes, but your yard will be less muddy when it rains.
Alternating different types of mulch in a pattern, such as wood fiber mulch under trees, and installing a path of decomposed granite mulch which can add texture and variety to your yard.
Shade-tolerant native plants can be found on the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center website by conducting a search. Try this: go to our home page, look in the upper right corner, and select PLANT DATABASE, and after that page opens, you can refine your search by selecting TEXAS, GENERAL APPEARANCE, then select HERB, then LIFE SPAN (All Durations); choose LIGHT REQUIREMENT (Does your yard have 2 hours of shade? More?). Then select SOIL MOISTURE. There will be choices for BLOOM TIME (leaving this unselected will give a wide range); and finally, select HEIGHT.
A variety of choices will allow you to choose what might be best for your yard, among them is Calyptocarpus vialis (Straggler daisy) otherwise known as horseherb. It can fulfill your light and moisture requirements, but read on: it is difficult to control! This could be a fast remedy because it is easily established and can be mowed. On the other hand, straggler daisy can take over your yard and some folks consider it a weed.
Some more options: Would you like to establish a small plant bed in a corner of your yard, or next to your house? A native plant bed will uplift your dreary yard, and you will be ever so pleased with yourself when your landscape displays native plants. Plants close to your house or in an area that receives the most sun can be protected with a short fence. Container-grown plants carefully arranged will create interest and varienty for your landscaping. Your pups can be encouraged to run on established mulched paths between raised plant beds or other types of containers.
Here is a previous Mr. Smarty Plants answer that not only addresses the same dog issue, but suggests some usable plants and has pictures. Another previous answer concerns keeping dogs and cats out of your garden. And one last word, on the health of your pets, read this previous answer on Plants that are Toxic to Dogs.
Our How-To Articles Undercover with Mulch and Container Gardening with Native Plants have some good suggestions.

Nov 29, 2013 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff WriterA verbal argument Tuesday between two men at the Fast Lane convenience store in Shoshoni had onlookers worried that a knife fight might break out.
One of the men involved in the argument reportedly was holding a knife, but officials said he never brandished the blade.
"He just happened to have the knife in his hand --he'd just bought the darn thing," Undersheriff Ryan Lee said Wednesday. "(He) was holding the sheathed weapon in his hand during the heated conversation. ... It wasn't drawn out, presented or anything."
In fact, Lee said the man handed the knife to his daughter during the altercation, and she took it with her to their vehicle.
"The knife was never involved; it just happened to be observed," Lee said.
Regardless, someone at the Fast Lane, 110 W Second St. in Shoshoni, called police at about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday to say a male subject in the parking lot was "threatening another (subject) with a knife." The reporting party said the men got into their vehicles after the argument and left the area; the one with the knife headed toward Riverton and the other went toward Casper.
Both men were stopped by law enforcement soon after the incident. The subject who had been traveling toward Riverton was a 39-year-old Fremont County man, who was cited for breach of peace and public intoxication with a blood-alcohol content of .2. He was not driving, according to officials, who said there were two women in the vehicle with him.
The other man was a 29-year-old from Aurora, Colo., who was cited for breach of peace. He also had two women with him, and officials said one of them --a woman in her 90s --complained of cardiac problems during the traffic stop. She eventually had to be air lifted from the area; her condition was unknown Wednesday.

As you probably may have noticed, the site's performance wasn't really that good the past time. It turns out that a faulty hard disk cable was giving some trouble. The cable has been replaced and the server should be working as it should be now.
Due to a variety of serious issues which have befallen those who were volunteering their time for this project, we are going to have to postpone the making of At Ease TV.
Thanks to all those who expressed interest in contributing. We must reiterate that we are only temporarily postponing this project, by no means are we completely abandoning what we still believe to be a wonderful opportunity for the fans and those of us who are involved.
We are aiming to take on this project later next year when we are assured of the time constraints and commitments of our volunteers.
Thanks for your support and understanding.

The Longhorns struggled to start the year, barely stayed above .500 in conference play and suffered from a myriad of inconsistency issues, including having the worst fielding percentage in the Big 12.
None of the mattered on Sunday, because Texas is headed back to Austin with the Big 12 Championship Trophy in hand. The Horns beat Kansas State 15-7 in Oklahoma City to take conference tournament title.
The bats were working for Texas on Sunday and the offensive performance of the day went to left fielder Russell Moldenhauer, who was 4-for-6 with two runs, two doubles and four RBI.
The game was knotted at one apiece after two innings, but the top of the third is when the Horns blew things blew open. Texas put up four runs in both the third and fourth innings to take a commanding 9-1 lead heading into the fifth.
The fifth, however, was where the only major hiccup for the Horns occurred. The Wildcat offense emerged from its slumber to drop down five runs in the inning and narrow the Texas lead to three.
However, three more runs for the Horns in the top of the sixth put things back on track for Texas. Longhorn head coach Augie Garrido was impressed with his team's ability to right the ship after giving up five runs in the fifth.
"We did a good job of putting runs on the board and continuing to answer and when they scored we continued to answer," said Garrido. "By the time we got late in the game, Austin (Wood) was in the position to come in and he took control of the game from the defensive side."
Riley Boening got the start for Texas, but it was Wood (6-3) who came away with the win. The junior left-hander came in for freshman Cole Green after Green surrendered five of the Wildcats' seven runs in the game. Wood carried Texas for most of the way out, giving up no runs and only one hit over three and a third innings. Freshman Chance Ruffin, typically the Horns' Friday starter, came in to close out the game in the ninth.
Kansas State managed to snag one run in the bottom of the ninth off of Ruffin with a sac fly by Justin Bloxom to score Carter Jurica, but Ruffin then struck out Kansas State's Drew Biery to end the game.
After the championship game, Garrido gave a great deal of credit to his pitchers, and his pitching coach, for the victory.
"I think Coach (Skip) Johnson did a good job setting up the pitching and the breakdown with Cole Green being the only glitch," said Garrido.
NCAA Regionals start on Friday for Texas. The Horns received a No. 2 seed in the Rice Regional and will open play vs. the regional's No. 3 seed, St. John's, at 2 p.m. The Owls will take on the No. 4 seed Sam Houston State. If the Longhorns win the regional and advance, they'll play the winner of the Texas A&M Regional in the Super Regional round of the NCAA Tournament.

Malaysia is more prosperous than Indonesia resulting in the influx of over 1.5 million immigrants. The two nations are seeking to create friendship and cooperation in order to assert their influence in southeast Asia, but stereotypes separate the two nations. Indonesians complain about "arrogant Malaysians" while Malaysians view their neighbors as "incompetent Indonesians." Most reports indicate widespread discrimination against Indonesian immigrants who frequently work long hours at low pay and encounter continual physical abuse.
It is fascinating how the power of stereotypical thinking separates rather than unites people. It is also interesting how similar stereotypes emerge in the world. Some group is always castigated as being inferior while another is viewed as being arrogant.

Johan Djourou has been passed fit for the Premiership game at Chelsea on Sunday but William Gallas is definitely out.
The Frenchman hurt his thigh on the eve of the Champions League tie with Hamburg a fortnight ago. Djourou picked up a niggle in his hamstring in Wednesday's 0-0 draw at Porto. With Kolo Toure suspended, Arsène Wenger will be relieved to have seen the Swiss centre back pass a fitness test on Friday morning.
"Gallas is out, Rosicky is out and Henry is out," he said. "We have lost Kolo Toure through suspension but Johan Djourou should be OK."
The manager has not put a timescale on Thierry Henry's return. However he indicated the captain would miss both Wigan on Wednesday and Portsmouth next Saturday.
"We have had a chat about how he feels and when he will come back," said Wenger. "There is no target for him to make a comeback. First you have to wait till he has no pain anymore and then you have to prepare. In this job you need your body."

For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that teens will probably want to see this pitch-black comedy, but it's better for those just exiting high school and up. This film goes to extremes portraying the cruelness of the popular crowd and the rebellion against it. The popular kids are murdered by poisoning and shooting and their suicide notes are forged. There are two more "real" attempted suicides, some self-mutilation, and bulimia. There's lots of gunplay by the main characters and one bloody scene. J.D. attempts to blow up the school and all its students with dynamite. Teens have sex (outdoors and at a college party) and speak crudely about it. Two boys are sexually aggressive. And there's plenty of harsh and homophobic language.
- Sexual Content
- Lots of teenage sex (outdoors and at a college party) and crude mentions of sex: "spin her around on my Johnson like a goddamn pinwheel." Veronica is the victim of a rumor that she had oral sex with two jocks in one night. Jocks make a nerdy student say "I like to suck big dicks" outside a church. Two jocks strip down to their boxers. Veronica is forced to kiss J.D. and a college student against her will.
- Violence
- One poisoning where the victim falls through a glass table. Plenty of gunplay by J.D. and Veronica: at school with blanks, in the woods resulting in two deaths. J.D. and Veronica fight each other with guns, shooting off a finger; lots of blood. Dynamite is planted under bleachers of school kids at a pep rally, then strapped to and detonated by J.D. Teen suicide is a huge focus and faked suicides lead to real attempts by two students. J.D. admits that his mother probably committed suicide. His father blows up buildings. Veronica burns herself with a lighter on purpose. A Barbie is hung in Veronica's room as a threat and Veronica pretends to hang herself.
- Language
- The F word is used frequently in over-the-top expressions like "f--k me gently with a chainsaw," "f--king psychotic," "stupid f--k," "they all want me as a friend or a f--k."
- Social Behavior
- Extreme bad behavior is intrinsic to this dark comedy. J.D. thrives on chaos and death and drags Veronica down with him. When she starts to resist him he stalks her and threatens her. High school pecking-order stereotypes are rampant. Parents and school administrators shown as bumbling and ineffective in dealing with the "suicide epidemic." Suicide notes are forged, then circulated and revered by students and faculty. One Heather uses holy water to fix her hair at a funeral. The fake suicide pact of two male athletes is staged as a gay tryst with "gay artifacts" like mineral water and played for laughs. Cow-tipping. Kids pander to TV crews in a display of public mourning and one asks for a copy of the tape for his Princeton application. A college boy and J.D. act sexually aggressive toward Veronica. One Heather throws up lunch every day. J.D.'s dad blows up buildings and gloats about it. Girl gets laughed at for attempting suicide for real and living. Veronica does learn a lesson in the end about popularity and befriends the most laughed-at girl in school.
- Consumerism
- Swatch, Coke, Limited, MTV, Barbie
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- Veronica, J.D., Veronica's dad, and a teacher smoke. A teen smokes pot under the bleachers. High schoolers are drunk at a college party and Veronica throws up.
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it

Question about difficulty in some fights.
I have been playing for a reasonable amount of time (lvl9 and on the 3rd dragon quest) and I still run into fights that are completely impossible. Is this just part of the game design or it is Ergos mod?
I normally play crpgs on the hardest available difficulty and am a veteran of the realms of arkania games but some of the fights in this game are ridiculous. For example I just had a random encounter with 8-9 dragon cultists and they down my party in probably about 30 seconds. Fogrimm has 20 ST 17CN and max willpower lvl 2 shields and a decent shield and ruhlana (sp?) isn't much worse and I have a mod8 elf pet fighting as well as my melee spec rogue. The elf only has time to get off a couple of spells but nothing seems to have any significant effect. The other fights that are causing me problems are the ratqueen and ruhlanas side quest against the black amazons. The thing is, the rest of the fights have been quite easy (once I figured out how important willpower is) so I don't want the overall difficultly turned down.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is it just a matter of luck and running away and waiting till I am higher level?
Mother Rat is very tough, and you shouldn't encounter it too early on.
My Fixpack makes the game slightly harder, though you receive Xp also slightly faster so it shouldn't be too different.
And take care that your party members don't go to a situation where any of them is encountered by too many enemies, because you can only have 2 parries (or 1 without shield) per round, thus you can only parry one or two encounters at the moment.
thanks for the info, I guess I just wait another couple of levels…
Been playing quite awhile now and my characters are level 12ish and most fights are getting to be quite easy. The game has really drawn me in and I am finding it one of the best rpgs I have played in quite awhile. The only possible weakness is perhaps the crafting system, I haven't really found much use for it and money is a bit too easy to come by.

Easy choice, the M&P. The Ruger isn't $850. more of a gun.

The SR556 *is* a piston gun. These two rifles are red apples to golden apples. Not entirely different, but still very distinctive.

Snow is just unavoidable when you live in upstate New York. So the fact that I had to use my snow blower on my driveway isn't news, but that it took until almost the end of January for that to happen is! It snowed very lightly a few times before this but it was gone by the end of the day. This week was the first time using a machine to clear the driveway was necessary.
Yesterday we took the kids to see Disney on Ice at Blue Cross Arena. Rachelle found some crazy deal on the tickets which ended up being around $10 a seat. I expected to be up in the nose-bleed section, but was delighted to find that we had fabulous seats!
Of course Claire had a great time, but Nolan also had a great time and was plastered to his seat the whole time. He kept giving the dude in the next seat the stink-eye, but he eventually got over that.
Nothing says New Year's Day like getting rid of your Christmas tree! We didn't have snow for Christmas, but we seem to be getting a little now.
Resolutions? I don't really have much in mind. I'll probably just try to be more productive at work. Although my current output level is not for lack of effort; I've been at work for 6 days of my Christmas break so far. Boooo.
Many years ago we got rid of our home phone service. We both had cell phones, nobody knew the number, we never used it; it was just a waste of $30+ every month. Once Claire arrived I knew at some point we'd need to get some kind of phone service in the house, at least for emergencies.
What I ended up doing was getting VOIP service over our broadband. I have an account with voip.ms and registered a DID number in my area code with them. Since you can pick your own number, you can pick one that either means something to you or is just easy to remember. I got a killer number with a bunch of repeating digits, very easy to remember. Then I just had to buy an analog phone adapter to bridge my analog phone with the VOIP provider.
Once you own the ATA the cost for the service is basically nothing. Sure it depends on your internet, but ours is pretty stable. I don't use this phone often, but when I do it's never not worked. Rachelle actually called me this morning using this phone and it worked great. It sounded like any other phone from my end.
I've been using IPv6 at work for a few years now. Fibertech gave us a /48 with our service and it's worked perfectly since it was setup. I had to do quite a lot of setup on my switches/routers to get it working, but once that was done I haven't had to touch it since. Currently only servers have IPv6 addresses. I'm currently thinking about letting workstations use it, once I overcome a few implementation hurdles.
For a while I've been wondering if I can get IPv6 connectivity at home, but knowing Time Warner Cable I wasn't holding my breath. Regardless of whether TWC supported it, I knew the router I was using didn't support IPv6. It was an old Linksys WRT54GL flashed with DD-WRT. I've been using it for years and it's been great. After a bunch of research I found that a different variation of DD-WRT did support IPv6. So I flashed my router with that firmware and could see the options for IPv6, but they didn't work. A ton of wasted time later, I decided to retire this router.
I got a $19 TP-Link WR841N on Amazon because it was cheap as hell and supports 300Mbps 802.11n wireless. Sadly, it didn't support IPv6 out of the box or with an upgraded official firmware. The only version of DD-WRT that would actually boot on this router also didn't support it. But I found out that OpenWRT does! So I downloaded the latest version of OpenWRT for my router, flash it and rebooted. To my amazement, the router not only picked up a /128 IPv6 address on the WAN port but it picked up a separate /64 subnet and started handing them out to all my LAN clients that supported it!
So far this has been pretty painless. I'm happy this only cost me $19 and that upgraded my hardware to support 5x faster wireless speeds too.
Nolan is sleeping in our room in a pack-n-play and I thought we'd be getting up at god-awful o'clock because he'd wake up and see us. But I hung a sheet up so he couldn't really see us, and so far he's been sleeping until 8ish every morning.
Claire has been loving the beach and the ocean. She got clobbered a few times by waves in the surf but it didn't seem to bother her too much. Nolan on the other hand wanted nothing to do with the ocean at all. He seemed to like playing in the sand a bit but he wouldn't go anywhere near the water. He loved the hottub though. Unfortunately the way it worked out it's basically high-tide the whole day when the kids could be at the beach, so Claire hasn't gotten too far into the water.
We cooked dinner on the grill these two days. Even though by dad and brother-in-law both brought small gas grills, which I'm used to cooking on, we had to cook for so many people I used the larger charcoal grill on the property. The first day we used new charcoals that already had the lighter fluid added. This worked great, it started right up and was ready to cook in like 10 minutes. The second day I used the rest of an existing bag of charcoal I found at the house. I had a very hard time getting this to burn and finally get hot enough to cook on. It worked out in the end though.
Today was the first day of our vacation in the Outer Banks. My alarm went off at 3:20am (!) in order for us to get out the door at 4:10am and to the airport at 4:30am for our 5:50am flight. The kids got up surprisingly easily and seemed to be ok with the early hour. In the car Rachelle asked Nolan if he was okay and he said, "No, Sleep!" That pretty much summed it up.
Even at 4:30 in the morning, Rochester International Airport was very busy. The line to get through security was huge. But it moved quickly and our flight took off without a problem. We were actually early landing at BWI and had to sit there and wait for a gate to open up. That was the worst of the air travel.
When I picked up the rental car in Norfolk, they upgraded me from a full-sized sedan to a Ford Expedition at no additional cost! I was super excited about having the extra room. I guess they had a bunch of big cars available and were offering to upgrade everyone. The poor kids finally got to take a nap in the car on the 90 minute drive to Nags Head. It wasn't long enough, but I guess better than nothing.
Since we were the first to arrive in town we stopped by the rental office to pick up the keys. We were a few hours early, but the house was ready and they had no problem with the timing. The house was rented by my dad who has the same name, so I assumed I could get away with checking in for him, but they never asked for identification.
Aside from the ludicrisly early start to today, it was a great travel day. Hopefully the rest of the vacation goes as smoothly.

Former competition chief and current Rugby League commissioner Graeme Samuel says the federal government must ramp up its regulations of how movie, music and sport content gets distributed to stop telcos locking in exclusive rights and killing competition.
Mr Samuel, the previous chairman of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, also slammed a series of government-funded reviews into the national broadband network as having a "political tarnish" that relied on guesstimates rather than reality.
He told the Telecommunications Society in Sydney on Wednesday that Telstra's phone and internet networks were already properly regulated, despite claims that it unfairly dominated the Australian market.
Instead, the right to exclusively distribute content such as movies and sports was the new battlefront and the government had to give the ACCC the right to police such deals.
"The only primary source of differentiation [apart from telco bundles] will be the content provided by individual retailers of broadband services to their customers," he said.
"Telstra's significant advantage in this area lies in its increasingly developed content offerings including movie libraries, apps, Bigpond and ... its interests in Foxtel and the wide content offering it controls."
He warned that letting larger established companies lock in content rights could stop smaller and newer players from getting any traction in the telco market.
"This could deprive consumers and advertisers of choice and quality, not only for broadcasting but also for voice, internet, [internet television] and innovative communications services," he said. "If you can't control the arteries then at least get hold of the blood.
"It's not altogether certain that the ACCC has a legislative remit to prevent incremental accumulation of valuable and compelling content even if it leads to an anti-competitive market structure."
Mr Samuel is also the Australian Rugby League Commissioner and said anti-siphoning rules that force major sporting codes to sell content rights to free-to-air TV stations were anti-competitive and that scrapping them could result in customers winning.
Sporting codes largely support getting rid of anti-siphoning regulations because it would increase the pool of potential bidders and therefore raise the price of broadcast rights.
He also said the government-funded reviews, including a cost-benefit analysis by Dr Michael Vertigan and an investigation of how Labor's NBN was born by Bill Scales, were flawed, politically tarnished and therefore of less value for future plans.
"We've had multiple reviews at vast cost and they've been completed [and] primarily focused on demonstrating that the Labor government's NBN concept was flawed or less economically viable than the Coalition's," he said.
"[Bill] Scales' review was probably the least valuable and is ... factually wrong on the role of the ACCC.
"Scales has been insulting and offensive to the remarkable intellect that constituted the expert advisers engaged by the previous government to advise it on all aspects of the NBN."
The Vertigan panel's reviews were of more value but still relied on "guesstimates" to forecast Australia's future broadband need as well as how much customers were willing to pay for faster access to the internet.

Let's Build a Compiler
by Jack Crenshaw
Number of pages: 277
This fifteen-part series, written from 1988 to 1995, is a tutorial on the theory and practice of developing language parsers and compilers from scratch. Before you are finished, you will have covered every aspect of compiler construction, designed a new programming language, and built a working compiler. At the end of this series you will by no means be a computer scientist, nor will you know all the esoterics of compiler theory. The author intended to completely ignore the more theoretical aspects of the subject. What you will know is all the practical aspects that one needs to know to build a working system.

Baroque Bistro For A Very Blogger Christmas
We all know how incredibly hectic the Silly Season can be. I wanted to make sure that before all the mayhem started that I would catch-up with some of my favourite Food Bloggers. So I sent a quick email to find out when the girls were free and settled on a Tuesday night. Since it's for Christmas I thought Secret Santa would be fun. Lorraine picked names from her hat and sent us all emails to tell us who our Secret Santa was.
When we all got to the restaurant we settled in and caught up before we all gave Lorraine our presents. Everyone took turns closing their eyes so they couldn't tell who their present came from.
Trisha, Lorraine and I decided to share some entrees and mains. I think this is a great way of tasting more of whats on offer. It also stops me from getting too much Food Envy.
We decided to order the snail and asparagus salad $13.00 and the black pudding on puff pastry with roasted apples $15.00 for our Entree.
The snails were soft and the salad was delicious. I only ate a few snails as I was really looking forward to the second entree. This was my first time tasting black pudding. It was really nice with the apple and the pastry. It didn't have a very strong flavour like a Filipino dish that I eat called Dinuguan. This is basically a blood stew that has a very strong flavour.
Trissa and Betty both ordered the baked eggs, porcini cream and toasted baguette $13.00. I had some of Trissa's and it was really nice although I am not really a big fan of runny eggs.
Ellie ordered the poached chicken, witlof, mango with a soy vinaigrette $16.00. It looked like a very summery Entree.
For mains we chose the Ocean Trout Fillet with carrot puree $24.00, Braised Beef Cheeks with roasted parsnips $25.00 and the Confit Lamb Shoulder $25.00.
When there are beef cheeks on the menu I always end up ordering it. I like slow cooked meat. They were very soft and sticky. The roasted parsnips were also nice.
Ellie ordered the butchers cut of beef with fries and eschallot jus $25.00. The fries with this dish were freshly cut and had a slight garlic flavour.
Dessert was shared by the entire table. We ordered the breton shortbread with apple and nougatine $15.00, Croquettes of chocolate caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream $13.00 and the Vanilla creme brulee with pistachio ice cream $13.00.
The croquette innards was a pool of dark chocolate. It was lovely. I really couldn't taste much of the caramel sauce though.
The brulee was ok. I've had a lot of creme brulee and this was not the best. I don't think the ice cream had enough of a pistachio taste.
The breton shortbread with apple and nougatine was my favourite dessert. This came with cute little macarons. Speaking of macarons, they gave us some complimentary macarons.
Baroque is a great place to go for a casual dinner with friends. The menu is affordable and the atmosphere is very relaxed.

I'd like to thank Trissa from Trissalicious, Betty from Betty's Bites, Ellie from Almost Bourdain , Lorraine from Not Quite Nigella and Trisha from Sugarlace for joining me for dinner and Secret Santa. Meeting you girls has been one of the highlights of my year and I look forward to many more meet ups.
Trissa I can't wait to see your post with you grating coconuts on your new coconut graiter.

Between July 15 and Aug. 7, law enforcement officers throughout Pierce County will be part of a statewide effort in search of speeding drivers. With summer upon us, there are a lot more people out and about, both as pedestrians and drivers. Unfortunately some driving habits such as speeding don't change. It's an alarming fact that even driving at 30 miles per hour on dry pavement requires a stopping distance of 41 yards. That's eight car lengths or almost half of a football field!
How much do you know about the dangers of speeding? Take this short quiz below.
TRUE OR FALSE: About 20 percent of all traffic fatalities in Washington involve speeding drivers. FALSE. More than 40 percent involve a speeder. (Source: Target Zero: Washington State's Strategic Highway Safety Plan 2010)
TRUE OR FALSE: A speeding ticket can cost as much as $411. TRUE. The average speeding ticket in Washington is $156, but as your speed increases, so does the fine. In fact, a speeding ticket in Washington could easily cost more than $411. (Source: WTSC based on the AOC Bail Schedule)
TRUE OR FALSE: Most of Washington's traffic deaths occur on freeways. FALSE. Most of Washington's fatal and serious-injury crashes occur on rural roads, which are often unlighted and undivided. (Source: Target Zero: Washington State's Strategic Highway Safety Plan 2010)
The Washington Traffic Safety Commission and theTacoma-Pierce County DUI and Traffic Safety Task Force urges all Washingtonians to take this speeding quiz. Visit www.considerthisyourwarning.com for these and many more brain teasers. Results will be tabulated on the accuracy of Washington drivers' answers and available in August.
"Speeding is a major contributing factor in fatal and serious injury crashes in Washington, and therefore, is a priority of Target Zero," said Lowell Porter, Director of the Traffic Safety Commission. "Well publicized and highly visible speed enforcement is a proven combination that reduces fatal crashes. Obeying speed limits is something everyone can do to support highway safety in Washington."

The row between central and local government over high speed rail reached a new zenith this month, when nine Conservative councils were accused of misusing public money. Graham Evans, Tory MP for Weaver Vale, asked the Audit Commission to investigate whether councils have broken lobbying rules by creating a fighting fund to oppose the project.
Wrongdoing has been denied by the councils in question, but the accusation highlights a growing rift between ministers and local authorities over the high speed rail project. A potential backlash from Tory councillors is a worrying development for a Conservative-led administration, particularly one that has sold itself on localism.
Questions are now being asked about the government's commitment to decentralising power, particularly when it comes to decisions with ramifications for the economy. A vocal section of local government groups have questioned the decision to promote a scheme such as high speed rail using a hybrid bill, which seeks approval by a parliamentary vote rather than through the usual planning process.
Bob Stevens, Conservative councillor and deputy leader of Warwickshire county council, says: "If we're going to localism we must go the whole hog. The government should abide by localism or go by its hybrid bill. It can't do both. You're either going to be localist or you're not."
Originally promoted by Labour, the high speed rail project now enjoys backing from all three main parties. MPs from both sides of the political spectrum have disagreed with Stevens' black and white assessment of the situation, disputing that arguments in favour of localism apply in this case.
Stuart Andrew, Conservative MP for Pudsey and co-chair of the all party parliamentary group for high speed rail, disputes the assertion that it has anything to do with localism. "The two issues are entirely separate," he claims. "HS2 is about a national infrastructure project. We're always going to have those sorts of projects once in a while that the whole nation needs. When it comes to these big projects they need to be dealt with on a national basis or nothing would ever happen."
Graham Stringer, Labour MP for Blackley and Broughton and the other co-chair of the group, agrees. "This is a national infrastructure project that is being dealt with outside the planning framework by hybrid bill. Individuals and councils have been consulted; some have supported and some have objected."
But Stevens is not alone. Neither are concerns about the government's commitment to localism restricted to the issue of HS2. The ongoing row between ministers and middle England over proposed reforms to the planning system is refusing to go away. Parallels are being drawn between the two rows as evidence that ministers are only supporters of localism when it suits them.
Devolution of power
Nick Rose, Conservative councillor and leader of Chiltern district council, says the concept of localism is to devolve power to local communities. "But the national planning policy framework consultation is saying in so many words that it doesn't matter. That makes localism a rather sick joke. It just makes nonsense of it. Coming back to HS2, the same argument applies."
Ministers have repeatedly promised local people power over decisions in their area. The haste with which the localism bill was introduced reinforced this commitment. But it's hard to imagine that it was ever the intention to give residents from one area the final say in decisions of national importance. Now that has become all too clear – and some suggest that all the talk about localism raised expectations too high.
Clive Betts, Labour MP for Sheffield south east and chair of the communities and local government select committee, says: "The government set out with its planning policies saying anybody can get together and say what they don't want in an area. It started off saying it's all about localism, now it's all about growth. The government has got itself in a real mess by promising people a veto when that can never be the case."
Most local authorities accept that there are some decisions which can only be taken by central government. Chris Murray is director at Core Cities, which represents the eight cities in the UK with the largest economies outside London. All have pledged their support for HS2. "Localism to me means placing responsibility for the levers of control at the right level. Infrastructure of this level – ultimately it's a government decision," he says.
National decisions
But while many authorities agree that there are isolated cases where decisions can't be taken locally, there is widespread disagreement that this is the case with HS2. Some authorities feel that the government has failed to prove that the benefits of the project warrant overriding their concerns.
"The issue is national interest. That has got to be proved so strongly and beyond any possible doubt if it is to trump localism. Of course it is possible that national interest can take precedent. But the case has got to be very, very compelling," Rose says.
Martin Tett, Conservative councillor and leader of Buckinghamshire county council, believes that such an argument is lacking. "It seems as if central government can step aside from evidence base requirements," he says. "I accept the principle that there will be occasions when there is a bigger picture. But in that case the onus should be on the promoter of that scheme to provide a robust business case. In the case of HS2 there is no robust business case."
Despite little indication that opposition is abating, the government appears resolute in its support for high speed rail. It is becoming increasingly clear that localism can mean many things to many people, and HS2 will be a government decision. But the fact remains that a large section of local government feels its voice is not being heard. For as long as this remains the case, promises of localism, by any definition, will sound rather empty.

Opinions on these posts...
Hi y'all! I am going to start off with a disclaimer before my question. I've been searching and reading various threads on here, and I have the intention of consulting a residential structural engineer before actually doing anything.
That said, we are in the market to buy a house, and have a property in mind. While the paperwork is all processing, I am spinning my wheels and trying to stay occupied, and that energy takes the form of planning future projects. The house we like has two posts dividing a formal and casual living room area, and I would like to knock those posts out to open up the space.
I know only an onsite inspection can tell me if these are load bearing, and if that beam running across the top is structural or decorative (I'd leave the top beam in place, regardless). But I would like your opinions on these pillars and the possibilities of taking them out. This post is just for fun/speculation.
If they are load bearing, I would consider removing one beam and building a bookshelf between the wall and remaining post.
What are your thoughts? It's a single story ranch, no basement, about 30-50 years old.

I like it open. Maybe a small book shelf. I like the wall planking. I had the same stuff in the house my x got. I put my book shelf on a wall.
Attachment 84684
Attachment 84685
I was hoping to do a built in bookshelf of a similar nature on the wall perpendicular to the posts, but if I can't remove them both, I may wrap it around to the side as well.
Really hoping I can remove them without issues; it's such a funky placement. They aren't very decorative looking, and really look more like framing that was left undone and just covered up with paint. But who knows...
I don't like those 2 white vertical posts. Personally i feel they have to be removed because i like the open concept and they disturb me
We really can't tell much from that photo---
what is above that beam? Attic? second floor?
The beam is to small to be of much use---it looks more like a decorative trim ,perhaps used to hide the scar left when a wall was removed.
More info needed---and ,yes, you need someone on site if assess the structure.
Get an engineer in there and figure out a way to remove them.
Sent from my Motorola MicroTAC 9800X
Getting rid of the need for columns and fully open the space would cost more money than the previous owner was willing to spend.
Build the bookcase in a way that *incorporates* the column.
I'd still suggest an engineer inspect what was done to be CERTAIN that what was done in their compromise didn't compromise anything else. In particular I'd be concerned about the HVAC ducts that were cut out and probably a few electrical outlets.
I think it is pretty obvious that there once was a wall there which someone had removed. If you look carefully, you can tell there was a pass-through or something at the one end.
I'm guessing that if it was possible and/or easy, whoever did this would have removed the posts at the same time.
Many people like "open concept" but buildings like this thing called support. I doubt the span you're showing was built to be self-supporting 30-50 years ago.
They are obstructing the area, You are going to need a bigger beam to remove them both.
Have you thought of moving them farther apart, and widening the opening. And shelving on both ends.
And interesting that you mentioned the ductwork; the house was unlisted for two months and then relisted, saying new ductwork and HVAC had been done and septic as well. Definitely not going into this with rose colored glasses...
Thanks for all the comments, guys!
It is almost always possible to remove a structural element like a post or two from a house. The only question is how much is it going to cost to remove the posts. I assume you are going to have a professional inspection before you put an offer in on the house. You may want to hire a local contractor with experience in structural work, possibly a structural engineer, or an architect to evaluate what needs to be done to remove the posts, and to estimate how much it will cost. Then you can make an offer of X - cost to renovate.
There is simply no way anyone on an internet chat forum, which is what this is, can tell you what size beam you would need if you remove the columns, and how much it would cost to do the work. For that kind of information, you need a hands on inspection by a professional with structural knowledge.
