Democrats lead GOP in Nevada early voting
October 25, 2012
After four days of early voting, nearly one-fifth of Nevada's 1.2 million active Nevada voters had already cast ballots in advance of the Nov. 6 election day.
Figures released Wednesday by the secretary of state's office show 214,609 people had voted through Tuesday, either in person or by mail, since early voting began Saturday. Of those, ballots received from Democrats total 99,415, compared with 79,697 cast by Republicans. The remaining ballots are nonpartisans or voters registered with minor political parties.
The roughly 173,000 people who have voted in person are nearly 43,000 more than those who voted during the same period in the 2008 presidential election.
Through Tuesday, 4,284 Carsonites had voted early. Registered Republicans had voted 2,066 times, while Democrats had voted 1,506 times. More than 700 nonpartisan voters had turned in ballots. Carson has 25,747 active registered voters.
Early voting turnout, seen as a key factor in deciding the presidential and U.S. Senate contests in battleground Nevada, runs through Nov. 2. The polls at the Carson City Courthouse will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. through Friday. After Nov. 2, voters will have to cast ballots at their designated polling locations on Nov. 6.
The strong turnout of voters so far could result in an overall turnout higher than the 80 percent figure four years ago. The early and mail-in votes are expected to account for two-thirds of all ballots cast, with the remaining on-third being cast on Nov. 6.

Shimla Overview
You can reach Shimla from Gwalior by road in about using a cab upon driving using a cab.
Shimla formerly known as Simla, is the capital city of Himachal Pradesh. In 1864, Shimla was declared the summer capital of the British Raj in India. A popular tourist destination, Shimla is often referred to as the "Queen of Hills," a term coined by the British. With all its intricacies, history seems to have been the mortar for every brick and stone that has built Shimla. As the summer capital of British India for well over a century it was the seat of one of the most powerful governments in the world. From its cedar-shaded heights, one fifth of the human race was ruled and the decisions made those decades ago affect our lives to the present day.

Topic: What If My Insurance Company Refuses to Pay?

Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation Discussion Board → Insurance → What If My Insurance Company Refuses to Pay?
From Cancer Legal Resource Center, webconference:
Thanks for this, Marion. Will put it in our "back pocket".
You are welcome. Our Laurin (works behind the scene for our foundation) has registered to attend. Hoping for encouraging news. We need it.
Our Lauren attended and passed on the following information:
"When health insurance companies refuse to cover your medical claims, contact the Cancer Legal Resource Center, at 1-866-The-CLRC, www.cancerlegalresourcecenter.org. This free service will advise and guide you on how to complete internal and secondary external appeals to get your treatment costs reimbursed by your insurance. Health insurance companies often refuse patient's claims for reasons that can be overturned by the appropriate appeals. Prior to contacting them, take a moment to answer the following questions; First, who exactly denied your care? For example, was it the physician, the medical group, or the health insurance company? Second, why did they cite you were denied care? Is it not a covered benefit, does it require a high copayment or is it part of a preexisting exclusion? Many treatments are mandated to be covered due to the new healthcare reform act and yet they are not, the CLRC and their legal appeal resources can help you determine the best way to get your cancer treatments covered when the insurance companies initially refuse to pay. CLRC can offer suggestions on how to keep your own medical notes and track conversations with the insurance companies so that you have the documentation you need to get the coverage you deserve for your cancer treatments."
Thank you, Lauren. for this great report.

Snag Kate Mara's Perfectly Put Together Look for Less
Kate Mara rocked skinny jeans and a blazer during a television appearance last week in Toronto. Here's how to score her look for less!
-Lucia Peters
Rooney Mara may have spent the last couple of years building up a reputation for being a show-stopping fashionista—but her big sister, Kate, could give her a run for her money!
Kate was spotted in Toronto last week leaving Global TV's Morning Show studios after making an appearance on the show. The House of Cards star looked perfectly put together in skinny jeans and a blazer; killer black pumps and a satchel finished off her look. Incidentally, Kate has just landed a role in the new Johnny Depp film, Transcendence; according to the Hollywood Reporter, the flick will follow a man who creates a computer program that develops an awareness. Think 2001: A Space Odyssey meets Inception. Neat-o!
Read Recreate Jessica Alba's Black and White Look for Less
Love Kate's look, but don't want to go broke getting it? We've found a lookalike ensemble for less that will keep both you and your wallet happy!
Halogen three-quarter roll sleeve blazer in Dark Indigo Denim ($99, shop.nordstrom.com), Pleione drape neck print top ($48, shop.nordstrom.com), Anlo Ava high waist skinny jeans in Hyperion ($56.10, shopmanhattanite.com), DARRT black leather pumps ($99.95, stevemadden.com), Danielle Nicole 'Nola' canvas satchel ($58, shop.nordstrom.com), bareMinerals natural lip gloss in Sugar Cookie ($15, beauty.com).

Registration is now open for SCALE 9X — register now by clicking on the winking penguin.
There are a lot of people around the planet who talk the Free/Open Source Software talk and walk the Free/Open Source Software walk. Fortunately for us here in the Silicon Valley — and those of us "over the hill" from the valley in the Santa Cruz Mountains — many of them live within driving distance of yours truly.
Mark Terranova is one of those FOSS activists in the San Francisco Bay Area who puts me to shame. Between Gidget Kitchen and the variety of distros he advocates, Mark is one of the people you want on your team if you want to get things done.
Mark wrote a blog item here equating some of the characters in "Star Wars" to some of the, ahem, "characters" in the FOSS galaxy.
Mark honored me with being the Yoda in this constellation. About halfway down the blog item, I'm teamed up with Quaid Gon-Jin, also known as Red Hat's Community Gardener Karsten Wade. Mark's mashup can be found here.
As long as I don't have to talk in disjointed sentences — disjointed sentences I will not talk in, hmmm? — I'd gladly say that I am both grateful and humbled by Mark's designation, and I hope I can live up to it. Thanks, MarkDude.
[Although one thing, Mark: I find it hard to believe that the mashup of Jono Bacon, as Han Jono, looks any different than Jono in his usual daily garb. But never mind.]

OSCON: The epilogue
OK, so I lied. I had planned to write this yesterday, but after an all night drive which consisted of drinking about two gallons of coffee, sleeping that off (ironically) on Saturday morning and then going to work, time became unavailable until now.
At first glance, OSCON was a huge success on several levels. First, it appears that as much as I'd prefer to have the event in San Jose for my own personal and selfish reasons, OSCON is at home in Portland. It's a tough concession for me to make, but it's true. Also, I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I'd be willing to bet that attendance is up — from the traffic on the floor and the amount of swag that flew out of the Fedora booth, I'd say it is way up.
People I forgot to mention: The first familiar friendly face I saw once the doors opened on Wednesday was that of Akkana Peck, GIMP guru without peer and my "neighbor" from over the hill in the Silicon Valley. Amber Graner, with whom a Linux expo would not be a Linux expo, was also on hand, with cameraman in tow for podcasts. My good friend and Gidget Kitchen chef Mark Terranova was also splitting time at OSCON between the Ubuntu booth and taking pictures on the expo hall floor, among other events at OSCON. There are more people I know I'm forgetting, but I promise to come back to you.
The city that really knows how: The motto "the city that knows how" is normally attributed to San Francisco — and it's a very accurate one — but the City by the Bay could learn a thing or two from Portland. A free downtown train for starters would be nice in San Francisco. Plus, people are generally very easygoing and polite in Portland, making it a great place to visit. Coupling my affinity for Corvallis with a growing affinity for Portland, the state of Oregon is rising on the charts as one of my favorite places.
Honorable mention in the swag department: While giving out the best in swag awards, I failed to mention that Code for America handed out what I think are the greatest posters that have happened along in quite some time. These posters are historic American quotes from U.S. government "system architect" James Madison and "accessibility expert" Susan B. Anthony written in binary. Go take a look here — I'll wait. I have the Madison and Anthony posters on the wall at the office in Felton. For printed matter, it definintely edges out the excellent Linux Journal calendar.
Thanks again, O'Reilly, for hosting such a great show year after year, and we'll see you again in 2011.

Our Boatwright / Boatright Family Genealogy
My name is George Boatright and I am a twelfth generation descendant of John Botwright (b. 1607 in England). I have collected information on many branches of the Boat(w)right family in America. I believe that almost all branches of our family descended from a single ancestor, John Botwright, who immigrated to America in approximately 1654. Unfortunately, many early birth, marriage and death records for our ancestors were lost to church and court house fires over the years. The relation of the various Boat(w)right family branches has been determined by utilizing DNA testing.
My goal is to include information on all branches of the family on this web site. If you can help me fill in some of the blanks, or correct errors and omissions, please e-mail me at email@example.com

Remember me in the family tree,
My name, my days, my strife.
Then I'll ride upon the wings of time;
And live an endless life.

The Original Boatwright?
A man from Normandy and his family had lived in a part of the area around Caen, France, which is just a stone's throw from Bayeux, for many generations. Bayeux was the launching point for the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 by William, Duke of Normandy also known as the Conquerer. The man told of an ancient ruined fortress on the coast called "La forteresse de Batuvrai" (literally, the keep of the boatbuilder), located on the coast near Caen. When I went there, I was a little surprised to actually find an ancient ruin of some kind still there. Later I discovered from a few of the residents in the area that it had been said that it was the keep of the royal shipwright to William himself.
If you travel to Bayeux and look at the famous tapestry, you can actually see the shipwrights constructing the longships that took William and his army across the English Channel. In the famous Doomsday Book written soon after the conquest, there is mentioned lands given to William's most faithful vassals and servants. Among them a shipwright ("Batuvrai").
Source: Michael Boatwright, who lived in France for 3 years and met the man from Normandy who related the story of the Boatwrights.
English Origins of the Boat(w)right Name
The English surname BOATWRIGHT, and its variants BOTWRIGHT and BOATRIGHT, is of occupational origin, descriptive of the trade or profession pursued by the initial bearer of this surname. The name is derived from the Old English word "bat" meaning boat, and "wyrhta" meaning wright, and thus, the original bearer would have been a boat builder or ship's carpenter. The earliest English reference to this surname dates back to the fifteenth century where one John Botwright is recorded as living in Suffolk County, England in 1469. In 1524 one John Botewrighte is listed in the "Subsidy Rolls" of Suffolk.
A Brief History of our Boat(w)right Family in America
Our ancestor, John Botwright, Jr. traveled from Cambridge, England to the new world of Virginia in the mid 1600's. John, Jr. signed on as an indentured servant. It must be emphasized that the indentured servants were not slaves, and that at the expiration of their terms there was no barrier, legal, racial, or social to their advancement. The terms of indenture not only took for granted that the servant, upon completing his contract would establish himself as a proprietor, but usually made it obligatory for the master to furnish him with the equipment necessary for his new life. In exchange for his passage to America, young John agreed to work as an indentured servant for four to seven years. This was a very common way of attracting people to the new world: the promise of a bright future, land ownership and freedom, in exchange for three to seven years of hard labor. John's headright was patented to Humphrey Dennis, of Virginia, in 1654.
Why did young John travel from England to Virginia? England was in turmoil in the late 1640's. The English civil war had just ended. Victorious Puritans would soon behead the King, Charles I. Oliver Cromwell was in the early stages of his protectorate and still battling competitors for supremacy among their Puritan comrades. As the Puritan government became established, Englishmen who supported the monarchy found that England was no longer a safe haven for them. Not only might they lose their financial wealth, some were in danger of losing their heads if they remained in England. The Stepney docks must have been frantically busy as entire families and their retainers sought passage out of England. Was it, perhaps, imperative that John leave the country at this time? Was John or his parents so closely associated with the Royalist cause that he had to flee for his safety? Or was John simply looking for a better life, the chance to own land and prosper? We will most likely never know the cause of John's immigration to Virginia as an indentured servant.
The Boatwright family established themselves in Virginia, settling in the county of New Kent and a portion of New Kent that became Hanover County in 1720. In 1714 William Byrd argued before the Colonial Board that the cost of the government in Virginia, which had become a burden on the King, could be defrayed by selling the land outright at 5 shillings for 50 acres. This produced a profound effect on the colony and by 1755 almost all of present Virginia had been claimed, mostly by descendants of the early colonists. Persons arriving in years after that were obligated to purchase land from the conglomerate landholders and speculators at the market rate.
With land in Virginia at a premium, branches of the Boatwright family migrated west in Virginia, to the counties of Cumberland and then Buckingham. Other branches of the family migrated to North Carolina and South Carolina during the second half of the 1700s.
In the early 1800s branches of the family moved westward to Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois and Ohio. In the south, branches of the family moved to Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. In the 1830s and 1840s, migration to Arkansas and Missouri occurred. The migration of the Boatwrights mirrored the migration within America in general, as families moved to undeveloped, former Indian lands, looking for better farming conditions and better economic opportunities.
For the first 200 years of our family in America, we were farmers. As the country began to industrialize during the 1850s and beyond, many of our family members left the farms and immigrated to the cities of America.

If you are looking for specific persons included in the Boat(w)right Family Genealogy in America, you will have better results using the list found at Name Index for John Boatwright Family.

It is quite literally what I did this morning.
I logged on to a blog I discovered in the tweeple jury list of nominees: The Bombay Talkies. Check it out: http://thebombaytalkies.blogspot.com
She had put up a funny, yet detailed post on the many shirts of Sid (Ranbir Kapoor in Wake Up Sid). It read:
"Over the course of the year Wake Up Sid has become one of my favorite movies. It's not convoluted or contrived or overly sappy, it doesn't try to hard to be cool, there's no faux-badassness or celebrity vanity showing through. It's just a sweet, simple story about two people and the lives they make for themselves.
It helps that Ranbir Kapoor's more than a pretty face–the boy can act.
What else can he do, you ask?
He can wear a freaking t-shirt. And seeing as how the production team went to great lengths to feature him in every version of "pop culturally-relevant graphic t-shirt" known to man, I feel it's only appropriate to ogle…erm, observe him in a few of them."
We ALL loved his t-shirts, didn't we? I had people in office asking me to do a shopping special on cartoon t-shirts. (I did, btw) I immediately got on the bandwagon of praises for WUS, wrote an extensive column and spoke with the costume designers.
Here's the page from the archives:

Which favourite cartoon would you like to have on your t-shirt? Which tee from Ranbir Kapoor's collection in Wake Up Sid is your favourite. Write in with your answers! I can't wait to read.

Graduate and Professional Education
Course Work Taken Elsewhere
Transfer Credit
Transfer of Course WorkThe Degree Progress Department in the Office of Academic Records and Registrar determines whether course work taken elsewhere is available for transfer credit. Faculty of the student's degree program determine whether such credit is applicable toward a specific graduate degree, subject to approval by the dean of the degree-conferring unit. The faculty's decision should be made no later than the end of the first year in a master's program or the second year in a doctoral program.
Credit will only be allowed for courses (1) from an accredited graduate school, (2) of a quality of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 grading scale, (3) constituting a fair and reasonable equivalent to current USC course work at the graduate level and (4) logically fitting into the program for the degree. Transfer course work is applied as credit (CR) toward the degree and is not included in the calculation of a minimum grade point average for graduation.
Graduate transfer credit will not be granted for life experience, credit by examination, extension courses not accepted toward a degree by the offering institution, correspondence courses or thesis supervision. Graduate transfer credit will not be granted for course work taken elsewhere after a student has been admitted and enrolled at USC unless the student receives prior written approval from the department. Students may not take courses elsewhere as a substitute for courses in which they have received grades that fail to meet departmental or university requirements.
Transfer work must have been completed within seven years of admission to a USC master's degree program (or 10 years for a doctoral program) to be applied toward that degree. Departments have the option of reevaluating transfer work when a student is readmitted to a USC graduate degree program. Requests for exceptions should be directed to the dean of the degree program for approval.
The faculty of a degree program may establish limits on the number of transfer credits stricter than those of the university, which follow:
(1) Courses used toward a degree completed elsewhere may not be applied toward a master's degree at USC. If courses were not used toward a completed degree, the maximum number of transfer credits that may be applied toward a master's degree, subject to departmental approval, is: four units in degree programs requiring 24‑32 units; eight units in programs requiring 33‑40 units; 12 units in programs requiring 41 or more units. Except in formally designated dual degree programs, the same limits apply if a student wishes to transfer credits from any advanced degree previously completed at USC toward a master's degree.
(2) A maximum of 30 units of transfer credit may be applied toward a doctoral degree.
(3) It is not permitted to apply more than 6 units of transfer credit toward a doctoral degree with Advanced Standing. Admission with Advanced Standing is based upon a completed graduate degree. The only course work available for transfer credit is course work taken after completion of that degree. No exceptions are allowed.
(4) A maximum of 4 units of transfer credit may be applied toward an approved dual degree program.
The University Committee on Curriculum (UCOC) must approve policies and procedures for considering individual exceptions within any specific program of study. Program exceptions to the transfer of course work policies require the approval of the UCOC and are listed in the departmental sections of this catalogue. Departments establishing lower maximum limits may waive their own policy (within the university's limits) by approval of the dean of the degree-conferring unit.

~ Potential spoilers ~
The NMA forums have unearthed details and impressions gleaned from Canard PC magazine on a quest at REPCONN given by Boone, involving cultist ghouls, Stealth Boy-addicted Nightkin and a human scientist who believes that he's a ghoul. After failing an initial combat-based approach, the player managed to use the Courier's speech skill to diplomatically solve the entire, very detailed, quest, and stated that it was even possible to turn each faction against each other. Promisingly, the writer of the preview is a big fan of Fallouts 1 & 2 (he despised FO3) and was very impressed with what he saw from four hours with New Vegas, highlighting the game's quest design, dialogue, characters and music.
Translated by HawK-EyE:
"I [am] now almost certain to be in front of a true Fallout. And I found it hard not to see the relationship with the Ghost Farm questline near Modoc in Fallout 2: A quest seemingly obvious, pointing to an ideal bad guy that gradually became more complex...""
Note however that the journalist did make a mistake concerning the erroneous existence of Vault 69 in New Vegas, but there does seem to be a hint that one of the in-game vaults will be occupied by an as-yet unknown tribal faction. Personally, I'm hoping these guys are descendants from Sulik's tribe.

'Race and Science Fiction' is subject of May session course
Todd Shaw has taught "Race and Science Fiction" during May session for a number of years, but this year he will add a study of the film Avatar.
Todd Shaw
"Each year I try to incorporate the newest science fiction films along with the classic films," said Shaw, a professor in the Department of Political Science and the African American Studies program.
"In addition to Planet of the Apes, part if not all of The Matrix, and the television series Star Trek, we're looking at Octavia Butler's novel Kindred, and other readings,' Shaw said. "There are texts on race and science fiction, and we'll read one of those —Adilifu Nama's Black Space: Imaging Race in Science Fiction Film.
"A broad theme in the course is that science fiction can be a means to talk about race as a source of conflict, and Planet of the Apes is a striking metaphor for this," he said.
"A second theme in the course is that race can be a source of multiracial utopia, such as in The Matrix. A third theme I'm exploring a bit is the idea of race as found in the current minority politics, and Avatar speaks to this idea."
The course is a good one for May session, Shaw said.
"Given that we have two hours and 15 minutes for each class meeting, it lets us digest a film and discuss it without having to break it up too much," he said. "We study one theme during each of the three weeks of the sessions. It's a perfect structure for the course."

Students, parents apologize to bullied bus monitor
ROCHESTER, N.Y. – For the past three days, the shattered glass of a broken iPad has been Karen Klein's window to the online world.
There, and on television, the 68-year-old school bus monitor has watched herself make international headlines and be interviewed multiple times about the video that shows her being taunted and harassed by middle school students on a bus.
"I still can't believe this is all about me," Klein said Friday on the porch of her Greece home. "I see me on the TV or the front page of the newspaper and wonder, 'Who is that woman?'"
With the fruits of an online fundraising effort, Klein will be able to buy a replacement iPad and much more. Within just three days, the fund on crowd-funding site Indiegogo.com that was set up to help send her on a nice vacation has surpassed $500,000 and is still climbing. More than 25,000 people have donated. When told Friday how much the fund had amassed, Klein teared up.
And that's not the only outpouring of sympathy and compassion the grandmother of eight has received. She's been deluged with thinking-of-you cards, bouquets of flowers, gift cards and all kinds of other offers.
On Friday, Greece police gave her apology statements written by some of the boys whose taunting was captured on the video.
The Democrat and Chronicle is not fully identifying the boys or their parents because of death threats the families have received.
"I feel really bad about what I did," wrote Wesley. "I wish I had never done those things. If that had happened to someone in my family, like my mother or grandmother, I would be really mad at them."
Josh wrote: "I am so sorry for the way I treated you, When I saw the video, I was disgusted and could not believe I did that. I am sorry for being so mean and I will never treat anyone this way again."
The boys' parents also apologized.
"It made me cry to see how cruel my son and the other boys were being to you," wrote Wesley's mother. "I am deeply sorry for what my son did. I wish there was some way to make it up to you."
Luis' father wrote: "We apologize, from the bottom of our hearts, on what happened. We wish this will never happen again, to nobody and from nobody."
Klein said she isn't sure she believes the apologies. "They were so brief and to-the-point," she said.
"One of the fathers came over (Thursday) and gave me a hug and apologized in person; I'm sure he was sincere."
Klein said she's still not sure whether she's in a strange dream.
The fundraiser was launched by 25-year-old Max Sidorov of Toronto, who was moved by the brutality displayed in the video.
Sidorov launched the fund drive on the site Indiegogo.com, with modest goals. In an interview with the National Post newspaper in Canada, the kinesiologist said he was astonished at the generosity of complete strangers.
"It is ridiculously more than I expected," Sidorov said. "I just had an idea. It's the people who took it and ran with it."
The vacation fund aside, Klein can take her pick of free trips to Disneyland and Disney World, Disney cruises, Hawaii trips, a weeklong all-expenses paid spa stay and more. Someone wants to give her a new car. Someone else wants to take her on a helicopter trip. A Hollywood agency wants to talk to her about a book or movie deal.
"It all doesn't feel real," said Klein, as yet another television van parked in front of her house Friday afternoon to set up for a live broadcast and she waited for a telephone interview with the BBC. "You know, when I see that cash in my hand I'll believe it."
Indiegogo spokeswoman Rose Levy said the company would ensure Klein gets the money.
Doug Hendee, vice president and sales manager at Brighton Securities, said Klein is liable to pay taxes on the value of whatever straight-out gifts she accepts and would have to declare that amount as income.
For example, if Klein accepted $500,000 all at once, she would have to set aside 45% of those funds for tax purposes. However, if any of the gifts are coming through a foundation or trust, she would not owe any tax on those amounts, Hendee said. If money is coming from a foreign country, that also complicates matters.
Klein said she would take steps to protect herself and set aside any money needed for taxes.
The spotlight and outpouring of community sympathy continues to shine on her.
Locally, The Mall at Greece Ridge plans to honor Klein on Saturday afternoon with a $500 shopping spree and basket filled with products from several stores. The mall will also honor area school bus drivers and monitors this weekend.
With the money that's been raised, Klein could take her entire family on the trip of a lifetime. Or she could book a discount spaceflight for two, via Virgin Galactic.
And with 29 days left in the fundraising campaign, the sky's the limit.

REDLANDS - A manual by the Street Tree Committee that will provide city tree guidelines has been adopted by the Redlands City Council.
The manual will outline which trees can be planted in the city, how to care for them and which areas around town are best suited for planting.
The item was on the agenda of Tuesday's special council meeting, where commission members explained the manual's details.
After a short discussion and some revisions recommended by Councilwoman Pat Gilbreath, the manual was approved by a 4-0 vote.
Mayor Pro Tem Paul Foster was not in attendance.
The manual was prepared over several years, and several community members volunteered to help establishguidelines and offer feedback, including a staff member of a public works department in a neighboring city for more than 20 years, said Chris Sedmack, chairwoman for the Street Tree Committee.
She said that the manual was to "provide policy level guidance on the best practices to manage our valuable and highly cherished urban forest."
Several committee members attended the meeting, and Sedmack took the presentation's lead.
"Redlands is a community which recognizes its trees as one of its most valuable resources," she said as she explained the manual to the City Council. "It is for this reason that your Street Tree Committee has dedicated itself to the preservation, proper maintenance and continued enhancement of our community forest of the approximate 47,000 street trees."
The document will be updated as needed.
Mayor Pete Aguilar thanked to advisory committee for its work, commenting that the document has been a long time coming.
Councilman Jon Harrison echoed Aguilar's statements.
"Not only will (the manual) serve our staff, but also serve the citizens of our community to have a place to go where they could get some good information to guide their street tree decision making," he said.
Janet Ward, a committee member, said that Redlands and Calimesa were the only cities which did not have a guideline for trees, and added that the manual will make Redlands run better.
"This is just the beginning of improving the care of the city trees and saving money - and making money," she said.
West Coast Arborists handles the inventory of the city's trees, its $100,000 fee is paid through a private fund, said the committee.
Once revisions are made, the manual will be made available to read at the A.K. Smiley Library, the city's Quality of Life Department and online on the city's website at www.cityofredlands.org.

What one man is doing for homeless animals
Leo Grillo, his former wife and veterinary assistant Stacy Grillo, and veterinarian Dr. Gaylord Brown work out of an exam room at the fully-equipped veterinary hospital at Leo Grillo's DELTA (Dedication & Everlasting Love to Animals) Rescue complex in Acton, Calif. Nearly 35 years ago, Grillo thought he could get people to stop dumping dogs and cats in the forests and deserts of Southern California. After more than three decades, there is no end to the number of animals he finds discarded on the side of the road. Delta Rescue is now the largest no-kill, care-for-life sanctuary in the nation for abandoned pets, home to some 1,500 dogs, cats and horses with 50 employees, a state-of-the-art hospital with full-time veterinarian, and his own fire department. Here is his amazing story.

Bob Berney's Picturehouse, WestEnd board The Great Gilly Hopkins
EXCLUSIVE: Bridge to Terabithia writers reunite on young-adult novel; Kathy Bates and Danny Glover among cast; Stephen Herek to direct.
Bob Berney's recently re-launched Picturehouse has taken US rights to Katherine Paterson adaptation The Great Gilly Hopkins in a deal struck with the producers.
WestEnd is selling international at the EFM.
Stephen Herek (101 Dalmatians) will direct the comedy-drama with William Teitler producing. Kathy Bates and Danny Glover are attached in supporting roles, while Avy Kaufman is casting for the lead.
Paterson's young adult novel, published in more than 20 territories, follows a wisecracking 11-year old who is moved between foster homes. When she is placed in the home of Maime Trotter, the strangest foster mum yet (Kathy Bates), she fights her way out - but all doesn't go according to plan.
WestEnd describes the comedy-drama as "Annie meets Bridge to Terabithia".
The 2007 Disney adaptation of Paterson's Bridge to Terabithia grossed $140m worldwide. As with Bridge, Gilly has been scripted by David Paterson, who will also produce with John Paterson under their Arcady Bay Entertainment banner. Filling out the producing team is executive producer, William Kay.
The US shoot is due for spring 2013.
Picturehouse CEO Berney said: "Stephen Herek and Bill Tietler understand the importance and success of the Katherine Paterson pedigree around the world. The story is heartwarming and true, funny and touching.
"The film will register with young audiences and families because of its authentic approach to the material. We look forward to working with the creative team and West End Films to make this movie a break-out success."
Industry veteran Berney re-launched US distribution outfit Picturehouse earlier this year, picking up documentary-drama Metallica Through the Never and inking an exclusive output deal with Netflix. He also secured a first-look relationship with Warner Bros. Pictures International for films to which it has international distribution rights.
While at IFC Films and then Newmarket Films, Berney handled the releases of My Big Fat Greek Wedding and The Passion of the Christ as well as Memento and Alfonso Cuaron's Y Tu Mama Tambien.
During the former incarnation of Picturehouse, he acquired and released the likes Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, Olivier Dahan's La Vie en Rose and Sergei Bodrov's Mongol.
At FilmDistrict he released the likes of Insidious and Drive.

"Over there, captain! I can almost see my sense of shame!"
Rebecca Gayheart was spotted topless with her husband, Eric Dane, on a chartered yacht during their vacation in Porto Cervo. Which might actually be exciting if she was hot or if I knew who the hell she was. Or if she was juggling live rattlesnakes. Because, really, that's all I'm looking for in my topless celebrity shots. Live rattlesnake juggling.
Most of these are NSFW.
UPDATE: Apparently in 2001, this Rebecca Gayheart character ran over and killed a 9-year-old boy. So, uh, that's horribly morbid.

The Ticking Debt Ceiling Time Bomb
With only a week to go before the August 2nd debt ceiling deadline, nether the Democrats or the Republicans can come to some sort of an agreement as to what to do to save the country from defaulting on it's debt. Both side are more concerned with next year's election than actually doing what is necessary to cut the deficit.
There are billions of dollars being spent on programs that do nothing to increase jobs in America or to raise GDP. Instead of talking about those items, both parties are using scare tactics about Social Security and Medicare. Two things that will get the American voter engaged in doing something next year at the booth.
At the same time, the Democrats are feeling the pressure from the labor unions telling the Dems to stand firm on Social Security and Medicare. While I strongly believe in keeping the benefits of the two programs in place, there are other areas of the programs that can be cut. Such as administration costs of the program. We all know that government offices have to many employees in each of the different offices. They can not tell us that there is no way to cut at least 15-20% of staff within each of the programs. Most of the system is automated and to have so many employees in the system is taxing on the program itself.
The federal government has known about this issue for months now and have touched on the subject, but they wait until now to really get involved in it. Why is it that they wait until the last minute to do something? It's because with the pressure of time, they can push the bill through quickly and claim later on that they didn't realize what was in the bill since they didn't get adequate amount of time to go through it. Of course the American people have short-term memory and forget that they waited and that's what the politicians hope for, so they can do it again.
So as we see the politicians are trying to draft anything to get a majority of the politicians to vote yes on extending the debt. The Republicans in the House of Representatives have unveiled a two-tier plan that will cut $1.2 trillion over a ten year period and will only raise the debt ceiling for a few months. Obama has already expressed that he will not sign it because it's a temporary fix.
Meanwhile the Democrats have presented their own plan to cut @2.7 trillion over the next ten years, but with a debt limit hike that will carry it through the 2012 elections. An election where Obama and many lawmakers will be up for re-election.
As we see over the last decade that the situation is getting worse as in the politicians doing what is necessary to get the fiscal condition of this country back in order. It's always a temporary fix and not a permanent one. Each time the debt ceiling has come into play, politicians never cut the spending that is needed, instead they draft plans that cut spending in the future, not in the present. What happens is the cuts never come, but the spending and the raising of taxes always do.
We are coming to the end of the fuse and if we, the American people don't do something to change the mindset of Washington, we will be finished sooner than later. This has gone on for way to long and it will come to an end one way or another.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Thumpers' started by crankshaft, Sep 6, 2011.
Yes, do tell about the head. My buddy has a flow bench. Might have to put him to work this winter.
Gros Buck - Assembler!? I read the manual, once .
Went out for some late afternoon urban dirt yesterday, ended in bed. Started ride with 15 minute idle reset. Thirty mins of city travel had a number of stalls. Got to dirt and stalling / rough running increased to point where I headed back to road after just 15 mins.
Cut the bike off while waiting on a train and wouldn't restart. Let it sit for a bit and try again, nada. Finally got a sign of life but turned into a back fire which separated the throttle body from the motor. I'm not in one of the better parts of town so opt for phone and charge card evac before sun goes down and drug lords come to check on their labs.
Back at the house, refix tb, starts right up. pos.
I know a guy with a nice XR600R he'd probably sell you. I think you already have his number
Got my head back from the guy that cut the valve seats. He thinks that the seats were originally cut wrong on the right side from the factory. The left side exhaust was still at 2 mm which is new spec, while the right side exhaust was 1.1 The right side intake had no seat at all and the left side was at .9 mm. Anyway, all 4 are at 2 mm now so should be good for another 27K miles at least.
He also confirmed the valve guides were good. Now I just have to get around to putting it all back together.
Thanks, a google search could not help me. Appreciate it.
If you are not going to do ride in deep ruts or between big rocks the Fastway Adventure pegs are fantastic for giving stable and comfortable footing all the time, even better than the KTM Rally Replica pegs.
For enduro type riding both are a bit too wide IMO.
I like my Pivot Pegz. you can configure them to lower 10mm, and move rearward 5mm. They cost about the same as the KTM Hardparts pegs, that give the same amount of relocation. I have not put hands on the hardparts pegs, but I think the PPegz mounting system is better. IMO.
If you need even more legroom Motobau makes "Bear traps" which are 3 cm lower than the originals:
No doubt. .
Starts with choke, idles with choke, bogs and dies with throttle. We are going for carb rebuild this afternoon. At least no Austrian code monkeys in play. Cooler will be open, game on small screen - wanna swing by
I'm changing my stock tires out.
Should I be able to remove the spacer in the rear sprocket?
When I spin the spacer, it feel kind of grimey. I want to take it out and re-grease it, of course.
I can't remove the dang thing. I dont want to pry it out because the sorounding metal "nilos ring " is very soft.
On other bikes I have I can, so I was wondering....but in the 690 owners manual, it doesnt mention removing and inspecting that particular spacer.
Maybe it was overtorqued in the factory? Should I go to my crappy dealer? Doubtful there is any real problem.....besides being anal retentive...just wondering.
I wanted to do the same but no luck. Sounds and feels like there's sand in there and I want it out!
Guess the only way is a new one...
Really?! :eek1
Crap! :huh
This seems like something that can happen over and over again, even if you replace the bearing,nilos ring and spacer....
Here's the link to the microfiche
I think the bearing is ok because of the nilos ring?
Oh another question...are the stock tubes for the bike HD?
I swapped them out for HD tubes I bought, but I really couldn't tell the diff.
Yeah, I'm dumb.
Either way, the stock tubes seem pretty decent (Pirelli).
Stock tubes aren't HD unless there was some kind of change in their spec.
There is a big difference between the stock tube and HD. Very apparent in comparison. But if you didn't notice...
It's worst then you think ... Each and every CPU has his own assembler. Piles of manual to read. One of many good reasons why assembler disapeared except for very low level routines.
Nice motor support ... Well done. Do you rebuild those motors that often ????
Is your bike still under warranty
Paul Jr
Sorry for the delayed response as I was riding in the Lincoln National forest (NM) last week. I had one of the early threads about the 690 fuel pump issues. My my fuel pump problem seems to have been solved by installing a CA Cycleworks pump. My fuel pump stoppages occurred at all temperatures and altitudes and were very intermittent, sometimes running perfectly for more than 500 miles. It never left me stranded and would always eventually start running again. The first time it happened, I nearly ran down the battery trying to restart. I later learned that it would not start until the fuel pump prime sequence occurs (which you can hear when you turn the key on). Just wait till you hear the prime, then it would start. The pressure regulator is a passive pressure relief valve which is not connected to the ECU. It returns excess fuel to the plastic pump housing for cooling purposes. There is (from the 690 wiring diagrams) one connection of fuel pump power to the ECU to switch/prime the fuel pump. I do not believe there is any other relationship between the ECU and fuel pump other than turning it off/on/prime. The TuneECU folks tell us the ECU must be reset before the 15 minute idle and throttle calibration are meaningful. There is a TuneECU switch for this as well as an automatic reset when loading a new map. Disconnecting the battery may also do a reset. The ECU (from the 690 wiring diagrams) have connections to the following devices:
Lambda sensor
Front wheel speed sensor
Evap valve
SAS valve
Ignition coil
Combo instrument
Throttle position sensor
Intake air temp sensor
rollover sensor
side stand sensor
Accelerator position sensor
Ambient air pressure sensor
Engine coolant temp sensor
fuel level indicator
crank position sensor
clutch switch
Manifold absolute pressure sensor
map select switch
I have not yet disassembled my OEM fuel pump but I'm guessing it will look ok like yours did. It is possible that the ECU is turning the pump off because of some software glitch (I know something about computer science, being a retired CS prof) but, if so, it doesn't seem to happen anymore to the bikes which are running the CA Cycleworks pump. So the mystery continues, but I'm happy my bike runs like gangbusters. I actually trust it again (which is easier for me to do because mine never left me -- just slowed me down)
Spacer should be able to be removed, but mine, on the old bike, was stuck last time I tried too. I have that same indent from the screwdriver in my soft ring too now.
nice job, eagle eyes! hahaha!
i was pissed when i did that. it didn't take much, did it? i was like "wtf!!??"
you live and learn,and there's no serious damage.
it just took me by surprise and i've never seen a nilos ring before on any other bike i've had.
it must be a ktm thing.
i had to google what it was.
good info
and here
The same problem is with blackSP's bike, and that's an 2012.
So you were once able to remove the spacer?
The carb rebuild I had planned for the afternoon was dragging a deer out of the woods this morning so I ended up with options. Since the bike started right up last night, thought I'd see what would happen today.
I've got an hour long town loop that does what it can. No dirt but would at least let me run it a bit. Like a champ, it was. I thought certain Santa shimmied down the exhaust and gave me a firmware upgrade last night while I was sleeping it off.
Fifteen minute idle reset, again. Ride was cooler today, temps were similar (high seventies) but overcast and less stop go. Stalled for first time at end of ride, fan was running as I waited at a couple of lights. Let it sit back in the shed - 5 mins for 'train time' Did start but rough, wouldn't hold idle, needed gas.
So - temps seem to matter - out of the blue, maybe.
Given y'all's posts, my attack order is: Injector clean. Battery - maybe low volts? - oem @ 4 years. CA fuel pump. ECU.

Day after

I hate to bring this up...but.
Which lightweight battery is working out the best now and where to buy them?
I am going crazy reading about Shorai and Shorai problems.
I need one, pronto.

Talking parrot purloined in Miami-Dade burglary
Published: Friday, August 30, 2013 at 12:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 30, 2013 at 12:34 p.m.
MIAMI — Call it the case of the purloined parrot.
Police in Miami-Dade County are asking local residents to be on the lookout for a talking parrot that was recently stolen during a burglary.
Investigators said Friday the yellow, blue and green macaw was taken from the backyard of a home earlier this month. Surveillance video showed man and bird getting into a silver, four-door BMW with dark tinted windows. Video surveillance captured the crime but authorities haven't identified the perpetrator.
The bird's owner says it frequently mimics these names and Spanish words: "Jonathan, Alex, Elvira, Rodo, chaky, que paso papo, flaca, ladra and tose."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at http://www.miamidade.gov/police .

I have had a similar problem with my radeonhd 7670m, for which I also spent several months trying to solve it, sadly without success.
When I look through your post though, it seems that you have installed the open source radeon-driver, rather than fglrx.
(Steps 6-7)
Could you paste the output of 'fglrxinfo', 'lsmod' and 'lsmod | grep fglrx' here please?
It would help me out a lot, since I have been practically going crazy over this one, and I want to try WPA cracking with GPU :-)
Thanks a lot in advance!

Chad Harbach on 'The Art of Fielding'By Robyn Creswell
The Art of Fielding, Chad Harbach's first novel, is a book about baseball in the way that Moby-Dick is a book about whaling—it is and it isn't. The shortstop at the center of the novel is Henry Skrimshander, an idiot savant in the field, who is recruited to play for the Harpooners of Westish College, a small school on the shores of Lake Michigan. Harbach was kind enough to answer a few questions by e-mail from his home in Brooklyn.
What was your position?
Over the course of my twelve-year baseball career (which ended when I was seventeen), I played the middle infield—short and second both.
Did you have any hopes of playing in college?
Not really. I was Henry-like (though with hardly a shred of his talent) in the sense that I was a good athlete who was too small and slight. I blame my parents for starting me in school early and making me forever the youngest guy on the team. Read More

Gatwick is the second busiest airport in the UK and the second biggest in London after Heathrow. Interestingly, it has the busiest single runway in the world which is able to handle up to 55 flights per hour.
Gatwick is a large international airport which plays host to a number of major airlines such as British Airways, Aer Lingus and Cathay Pacific. Destinations that can be travelled to from this airport include Dubai, Amsterdam, Prague and Geneva. Gatwick airport was built on top of what was an Airfield and a racecourse which was operational from the 1920's. However it isn't until 1936 that the first commercial flight between the aerodrome and Paris Le Bourget took place. After World War 2 following the decommissioning of the airport by the British government and with the rapid expansion of air travel, passenger traffic at the airport never ceased to grow.
There are currently 18 car parks at Gatwick on offer on our website; so there is something for everybody to choose from. While onsite parking is hugely popular at this airport due to the fact it offers easy access to the terminal, the Cophall Parking Park&Ride service offers great value for money. It is only a 10 minute transfer away from the airport and a 24 hour patrol is on operation at this site.
As you would imagine, at Looking4Parking we think that the safekeeping of our customers vehicles is of major importance so that is why we have made sure our team of experts has carried out a thorough inspection of each car park. This process puts us in a position to confirm the presence of the latest security equipment at all the car parks on offer at this airport.
Do not hesitate to contact our expert customer service team should you require any further information about the car parks on offer at this airport.

Green Day's Billie Joe featured on new Lonely Island album
Listen to Green Day on iHeartRadio | Listen to The Lonely Island on iHeartRadio
Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong is part of a star-studded group of musicians helping to make the Lonely Island's new album a little less lonely.
Andy Samberg and his fellow comedy rappers have announced the guest list for The Wack Album, which will also feature Maroon 5's Adam Levine, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Pharrell Williams, Kendrick Lamar, and more.
The third Lonely Island collection - which they say gets its name from a combination of the Beatles' White Album and Jay-Z's Black Album - is scheduled to hit stores on June 11th.
In the weeks leading up to that day, the trio plans to put out a new video or song every Wednesday. For this week's inaugural "Wack Wednesday," they unveiled the video for "Spring Break Anthem," which co-stars James Franco, Zack Galifianakis, and Edward Norton.
