5-year old hates "writing"
My toddler doesn't have problems learning. He likes activities - colouring, counting, puzzles...
But he is put off by writing. He doesn't like holding a pencil for writing activities such as tracing and writing simple, basic strokes.
I've tried encouragements, praises, rewards. I even tried bribing...didn't work. He says he's tired!
I certainly do not want to pressure him because it would be counter productive.
I'm just a bit concerned that he is lagging behind kids his age.
Should I worry?

Hi Raven
I am an early childhood professional. To answer your question I need to clarify a couple of things. In your title you refer to a 5-year old but then refer to your son as a toddler. How old is your son and is he in school or daycare?
In a general sense though, try not need to worry. Worry is counterproductive! Also it is important not to attempt to bribe or pressure your child into engaging in writing activities. Like most adults, children tend to resist even harder if they feel their right to choose in being circumvented.
Instead allow your son to come to writing rather than trying to bring writing to him. Make sure you always have writing materials available, and not just the common place pencils and paper. Offer him chalk to draw with on a board or the pavement. Put out paint with brushes of different thicknesses. Encourage the shapes of writing without an emphasis on letters - straight lines, swirls, arcs and ellipsis are all present in letters of the English language. Ensure he sees you using functional writing, that is writing letters, making lists etc and encourage him to help out. This might include asking him to add something he likes and want to the shopping list you are making.
Be careful not to judge your child against others 'his age.' While obviously there are developmental norms in child develop (children usually sit about this age, walk about that age and so on) all children develop at a different rate. In addition uneven development is actually the norm. That is some children will seem to grasp the concept of writing with both hands and be off like a shot, but in other areas their development might not be so advanced.
If your child is in school, you should be guided by his teacher's estimation of where his is in terms of average writing development. Beyond that if you really are concerned speak to your doctor or preferably pediatrician. Another avenue you could explore is having your child seen by an occupational therapist (O/T). Writing difficulties in children are sometimes less about a lack of desire to learn and more about physical issues.
My 9 year old for instance was very slow to develop her writing and struggled until I took her to an O/T. It was then that we discovered that the muscles in her hands were not well enough developed to apply sufficient pressure on a pencil and write well! After doing regular (and fun) exercises with her, her writing began to improve... and so did her desire to write! That was three years ago and now she is an avid writer of stories and poems!
In short, talk your concerns over with your child's teacher (or daycare staff), talk to your doctor or Pediatrician and perhaps consider an O/T visit.
I hope this long winded response helps!

The 2016 Tundra CrewMax has best-in-class legroom according to Toyota and offers the only reclining and sliding rear seat among pickups. The Tundra also offers one of the best-designed interiors, with plenty of storage space and easy access to the backseat area. The available 5.7L engine makes 381 horsepower and 401 foot-pounds of torque, with hauling and towing ability near the top of the segment.
Compare the 2016 Toyota Tundra 4WD Truck against similar models
Toyota has updated the stereos in all Tundra models for 2016. They now run on Toyota's Entune 2.5 architecture. This means better phone integration and faster performance, particularly with the premium sound system. A bigger gas tank on several trims and a slightly redesigned front fascia on the SR5 and 1794 trims are also new for 2016.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.
The Toyota Tundra is a full-size pickup known for durability. This second-generation Tundra was introduced as a 2007 model and updated for 2014.
For 2016, Tundra gets mild exterior touch-ups. Some 2016 Tundras get a larger fuel tank, and the infotainment system has been updated.
Only V8 engines are offered. Each performs smoothly, though trailing the full-size pack. The base 4.6-liter V8 is rated at 310 horsepower and 327 pound-feet of torque. Standard on certain versions, the 5.7-liter V8 generates 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet.
Rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are available.
Tundra falls short of domestic models in the number of available configurations, as well as fuel economy, though it comes with a choice of cabs, bed lengths, and trim levels. The range starts with an entry-level SR, progressing through SR5, TRD Pro (Off-Road), Limited, and Platinum, topped by a luxurious 1794 Edition named for the Texas ranch where the factory is located. Tundra Regular Cab models seat two or three and come with a long (97.6-inch) cargo bed. Tundra Double Cab trucks can have either a 78.7- or 97.6-inch bed. They include rear-hinged back doors and flip-up back seats.
CrewMax models are fitted with a 66.7-inch bed, four conventional doors, and a back-seat bench. Standard on Platinum and 1794 Edition trim levels, the CrewMax body style is the correct choice if six-footers wish to ride in the second row. Toyota's largest truck lacks certain utility features, such as lockable storage within the cargo bed, damped tailgate operation, steps, and handrails.
Although basic standard safety equipment is good, including eight airbags, the Tundra lags Ford's F-150 in active-safety features. Technology like adaptive cruise control and forward-collision warnings are unavailable.
Crash-test scores are better than they used to be, but still no more than average. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gives the Tundra four stars overall (five for side-impact protection). Some versions get only three-star rollover ratings. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rates Tundra Good, but only Acceptable in the small-overlap crash test.
The 2016 Toyota Tundra SR ($32,190) comes with fabric upholstery, air conditioning, AM/FM/CD stereo, smartphone connectivity, a 6.1-inch touchscreen, USB/iPod connectivity, Bluetooth hands-free phone/music streaming, and 18-inch steel wheels. A Work Truck package substitutes durable vinyl upholstery and flooring.
Tundra SR5 ($34,000) features off-road styling, adding foglamps, intermittent wipers, Entune Audio Plus, and satellite radio. Alloy wheels are optional. Tundra TRD Pro ($45,560) features off-roading upgrades, including Bilstein trail-tuned dampers, 18-inch TRD alloy wheels, skid plates, and black leather-trimmed seats with red stitching.
Tundra Limited ($41,720) gets leather seating surfaces, dual-zone automatic climate control, and 20-inch alloy wheels. Tundra Platinum CrewMax ($49,580) features perforated leather upholstery; 12-way power driver's seat with memory; heated/ventilated front seats; 12-speaker Entune Premium JBL Audio with navigation, and a moonroof. Tundra 1794 Edition CrewMax ($49,580) matches Platinum trim, adding special brown premium leather-trimmed seating with embossed and ultra-suede accents. (All prices are MSRP and do not include destination charge.)
Like other full-size pickups, Tundra emphasizes burly proportions, yet its overall appearance lacks the clean, crisply-chiseled appearance of Ford and GM models. Fans of big domestic pickups might even consider the styling gimmicky. Despite a mild freshening for 2014, focusing on the tall front end, some detail work seems unbalanced.
Bodysides and the rear end look more familiar, and the stamped tailgate comes across as rugged and understated. Cargo-bed utility trails the domestic pickups, notably the current Ford F-150 and Ram 1500.
Every button and knob is big, but the chunky controls are sensibly laid-out. Overall, the layout seems meant for riders who invariably wear work gloves. Still, the cabin is on par with a Ford F-150 or Nissan Titan. Trim work on Platinum models and, especially, the 1794 Edition looks comparable to a King Ranch Ford or Laramie Longhorn.
Seats are roomy, plush, and comfortable. The central console can hold a laptop. All told, the interior suggests refinement and quietness, though materials quality isn't quite up to domestic-brand pickups.
Double Cab models don't have much second-row space. In the CrewMax, seating for five is a realistic expectation, with sufficient leg space for every rider. Seats slide and recline, though the backrest reclining angle isn't too comfortable and cushions are somewhat low.
Powertrain choices are more limited than on American pickups. At 10,400 pounds, maximum towing capacity trails the domestic models. Yet, the Tundra can be a tempting contender.
Performing well generally, Toyota's two V8 engines feel similar, at least in city-street driving with an unladen truck. Low-end acceleration is good, and a Tundra is acceptably quick, provided that it's not loaded to its limit. Both V8s tend to lose oomph as speed rises or weight increases.
If you're pulling a heavy trailer, pick the 5.7-liter engine. The 4.6-liter Tundra starts to feel anemic when carrying four tons or so. Even with the larger V8, the Tundra isn't all that eager to attain freeway speed in, say, the length of an on-ramp. Ford, Ram, and GM pickups tend to feel more confident when accelerating with a substantial load.
Expect easygoing behavior when driving through traffic. Ride quality is reasonably comfortable, though pavement bumps and seams typically produce impacts beyond the normal range. Light steering isn't as quick as it would be in an F-150 or Ram.
In urban use, the Tundra handles well, in a mannerly way. Choose a TRD model with its upgraded suspension and tires, however, and the ride won't be quite so enticing.
Despite its 310-horsepower rating, the 4.6-liter V8 cannot quite compare with V6 engines from Ford and GM. Acceleration is hardier with the 5.7-liter engine, but even that V8 doesn't really match a Silverado V8 or Hemi Ram.
Both V8s use 6-speed automatic transmissions, which shift smoothly and respond promptly enough.
Gas mileage is a sore point. With rear-drive, the 4.6-liter V8 is EPA-rated at 15/19 mpg City/Highway, or 16 mpg Combined. A rear-drive Tundra with the bigger V8 is EPA-rated at 14/18 mpg City/Highway, or 16 mpg Combined.
Tundra trails the domestics in performance and specification, as well as sales. In addition to a shortfall in towing capability, fuel economy and ride comfort, Tundra doesn't stand out in any categories that matter to full-size pickup buyers.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

With technology rapidly evolving, it's critical self-storage managers and owners be tech-savvy. They should be able to competently navigate their facility's management software for day-to-day operations and advanced reporting. Many management software programs remain Windows-based platform, but now operators can also choose Web-software applications. Self-storage operators are revamping their websites for better search-engine optimization for organic search results, and some are experimenting with pay-per-click advertising and third-party self-storage directories. Operators are boosting their facility websites to include real-time reservation and payment modules and other customer relationship management systems, along with blogs and articles with tips for consumers. Most operators recognize we live in a world filled with automation and consumers who want what they want when they want it. These operators are experimenting with unmanned sites, including self-storage kiosks and automated self-storage retrieval systems. Self-storage security is no longer restricted to keypad access and security gates. Today's facilities have sophisticated video-surveillance systems with digital video recorders, individual door alarms, online remote monitoring, unit overlocks and network video recorders.

A recent post told the story of Father Corby's absolution of the Irish Brigade at Gettysburg in 1863. A statue of the chaplain was erected at the battlefield on the 29th October 1910, and will soon celebrate its 100th birthday. To commemorate the occasion the Father William Corby Division of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, based in Fairfax Station, Virginia, are planning to visit the monument on the 29th October 2010. The event will take place at 1pm and will involve a color guard presenting the colors to the statue, as well as some music and a talk about Father Corby. Details of the event are available here.

Brevard bats come alive as Tornados take series win over Mars HillMarch 10, 2012
Daniels and Smith record victories in doubleheader sweep over Lions
Mars Hill, N.C. - Led by the bats of Chad Funkhouser and Kameron Armacost, and the starting pitching of Brennan Daniels and Casey Smith, the Tornados swept the host Mars Hill Lions in South Atlantic Conference play on Saturday afternoon, 7-5 and 4-1.
Brevard improves to 13-10, 7-5 in conference play on the season, while Mars Hill falls to 8-17 overall, 4-8 in the SAC.
Game One: Brevard 7, Mars Hill 5
Box Score
Brennan Daniels (3-0) picked up the win over the Lions in the first game of the doubleheader, backed by a strong performance at the plate by Chad Funkhouser as the Tornados evened the series score against Mars Hill with the 7-5 victory.
Funkhouser went 3-for-4 in the contest with a home run and a pair of doubles, while Bennett Hixson closed out the game with three scoreless innings in recording his third save of the season for Brevard.
The Tornados jumped ahead early, scoring three runs in the top of the first inning off Zach Davies as Cody Queen singled in Champ Stuart to start the scoring. Funkhouser added a sacrifice fly, scoring Tarron Robinson in the frame, while Kramer Clark brought in Zach Merriken with an RBI single to give the Tornados the early advantage.
Mars Hill answered with a run in the first inning as Joey Belviso singled in Michael Bueker, and the Lions took the 4-3 lead in the bottom of the second inning, putting up a crooked frame as Matt Mayo doubled in Ben Hunt and Mayo and Bueker came across the plate to score in the frame to give the Lions the lead.
Brevard and Mars Hill traded runs in the third inning to keep the lead in Mars Hill's possession as Funkhouser doubled in Merriken with one out in the inning, while Mayo answered with a single down the left field line, scoring Chris Peek to put the score at 5-4.
A two-out solo home run in the top of the fifth inning knotted the game up at 5 apiece as Funkhouser drilled a pitch over the fence onto the road up the hill in centerfield, tying the contest.
The Tornados pushed across the go-ahead runs in the top of the seventh inning as Kameron Armacost singled in Funkhouser with two-outs in the inning, and Armacost came around to score on a Mars Hill wild pitch from Thomas Timmerman (0-2) to give BC the 7-5 lead.
Hixson came into pitch for the final three innings for the Tornados, facing four batters over the minimum over the frames, striking out the final two batters in the contest to clinch the BC victory.
Game Two: Brevard 4, Mars Hill 1
Box Score
Casey Smith (1-1) bounced back after allowing a run in the first inning to go six innings in the contest, allowing six hits, while Zach Huneycutt recorded his first collegiate save as the Tornados completed the sweep in winning their first road conference series since the program joined the SAC in 2008.
Kameron Armacost was a perfect 3-for-3 from the plate in the second game, driving in two runs while scoring once himself as Brevard overcame a solo home run by Joey Belviso in bouncing back from yesterday's 15-12 defeat to the Lions.
Belviso put the Lions up in the bottom of the first, driving a solo home run over the left centerfield fence, clearing the hill at Henderson Field to put Mars Hill up 1-0.
The Tornados answered in the top of the second, knotting the game up against Mars Hill starter Josh Dean (3-3). Christian Christopoulos reached on a two-out double down the right field line and Armacost followed with an infield single, scoring Christopoulos from second to tie the game up.
Brevard took the lead in the contest in the top of the fourth inning as Chad Funkhouser and Kramer Clark both moved into scoring position with one out on a wild pitch. A sacrifice bunt by Christopoulos scored Funkhouser, while Armacost beat out an infield single, allowing Clark to score from third base to put BC up 3-1. Champ Stuart followed two batters later with an RBI single to left field, plating Armacost to give Smith a commanding 4-1 lead at the midway point of the ball game.
Mars Hill threatened the Tornados lead in both the fourth and the fifth inning, loading the bases in the former before Smith retired Michael Bueker on strikes to end the threat, while getting Thomas Timmerman to pop-out in the fifth inning to keep the BC lead intact.
Huneycutt came in to close out the game in the bottom of the seventh, retiring the Lions in order to record the save as Brevard keeps its conference record above .500 four series into SAC play.
Brevard returns home to Gil Coan Field on Tuesday, March 13th as the Tornados host Indiana University of Pennsylvania for a non-conference doubleheader. First pitch between the Tornados and the Crimson Hawks is set for 1 p.m.

ContourPlot and lines vrs. 8.0
I would like to plot a contour plot of two different functions. One of
them is a line in the contour plot. The problem I have is that the
plot only shows the line and only ONE curve of the other function.
What I would like to have is a usual contour plot of the function and
the line of the other function. Below you find the code of the contour
\[Alpha]h1 = 16;
\[Alpha]h2 = 16;
ContourPlot[{(\[Alpha]h1 xh - xh^2) + (\[Alpha]h2 xf - xf^2),
xf - (\[Alpha]h1 - xh) == 0}, {xh, 0, 10}, {xf, 0, 10},
Contours -> 250]
Here is the contour plot of the first function only. It would be great
to have this plot with only one line expressed by the function xf - (\
[Alpha]h1 - xh) == 0.
ContourPlot[{(\[Alpha]h1 xh - xh^2) + (\[Alpha]h2 xf - xf^2)}, {xh, 0,
10}, {xf, 0, 10}, Contours -> 250]
Thanks for help,

Hey everyone, quick question for you. I was reading some code this morning and ended up in a great debate with myself and colleagues.
Has anyone ever seen an "Allow" or "Public" header from a web server when doing a HTTP OPTIONS request that resulted in a HTTP 301, 302, or 303 (some type of redirect)? As far as I can recall I've only seen "Allow" or "Public" on HTTP OPTIONS when a HTTP 200 - Ok is received (so you'd have to follow the redirects).
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.

Great Harris Tweed in a Casual Style
By Daryl
from San Francisco, CA
In a world of synthetic materials and mass-production, isn't it great to find handwoven cloth? If you agree, then this jacket might be something you want to consider. The Harris Tweed of this jacket is an autumnal brown. Often we find Harris Tweed in sport jackets but if you want Harris Tweed in something more casual, then this is one of the best available. Note the leather trim used for the pockets.The only potential downside is the two button collar. I use it on cool days to keep out the wind but if you're one who tends not to use it, you might not like the two long ends of the collar protruding out underneath your chin.

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer
OLYMPIA — An alliance of government forces on Friday renewed their battle to retool the state's public records law to help them beat back requests of those whose motives they question.
Representatives of cities, counties, school districts and prosecuting attorneys told a House panel that exorbitant amounts of time and money are being spent on requests that seem intended to harass employees rather than uncover wrongdoing.
Several cited the situation of Gold Bar where a rising tab of requests and lawsuits could force the city into bankruptcy.
They urged members of the House Local Government Committee to support a bill allowing public agencies to use the courts to block requestors and to limit the hours spent compiling records.
"The public interest is suffering," said Whatcom County Prosecuting Attorney Dave McEachran who cited as an example the 135 requests from a former county employee that will take until 2016 to fulfill. "This is a huge waste and this bill will help address that."
But community activists and newspaper representatives countered the legislation, House Bill 1128, turns the Public Records Act on its head by letting agencies sue when they don't like the nature of a person's request.
"This can be a tool for intimidation," said Rowland Thompson, lobbyist for Allied Daily Newspapers, an association which includes The Daily Herald.
Bill Will, executive director of the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association, which represents weekly newspapers, predicted the power will not only be used against people with vendettas but also those with legitimate requests for information about their government.
"It'll become political. It'll become a mess," he said.
Rep. Marko Liias, D-Edmonds, a committee member, said, "Clearly there are horror stories. I want to craft something that prevents an employee from harassing an agency. I don't want to stop the press from investigating an official. How do you balance them?"
As written, the Public Records Act requires most documents maintained by state, county and city governments and special districts be made available to the public. The law allows a person to go to court when they feel their request is not being properly handled.
House Bill 1128 would make two significant changes to the act.
First, it would permit a public agency or an employee in the agency to get an injunction against filling a request.
To do so, it would need to convince a judge the purpose of the request was made to harass or intimidate an agency or its employees, in retaliation for an action by the agency, creates an undue burden on the agency or assists in criminal activity.
Liias said the bill language seemed too broad. He wondered if requests for years of records in that case could be considered an undue burden under the bill.
The second change sought by the bill would allow a government body to spend as little as five hours a month responding to requests. In order to curb the hours, they need to make sure several types of records such as meeting agendas, budgets, salary schedules, ordinances and some contracts are available online.
Last year a similar bill failed to get a hearing in the House but did get an airing in the Senate, although it never reached the floor for a vote.
This session could turn out differently.
Twenty-six representatives signed on as sponsors, including Democratic Reps. Mike Sells of Everett, Luis Moscoso of Mountlake Terrace and Cindy Ryu of Shoreline.
At the close of Friday's 90-minute hearing, the prime sponsor sounded prepared to press ahead.
"I'm not sure this is the right bill with the right language," said Rep. Dean Takko, D-Longview. "But I think there are some problems out there we need to deal with."
The House Local Government Committee could vote on the bill next week.

In 1999, researcher Floyd Romesberg and his group started by synthesizing the original letters that make up the base pairs of DNA.
"Twitter is a huge, massive, endless free-flowing conversation with lots of interesting, witty people," says Floyd.
The party had "naked girls everywhere" and was attended by the likes of Chris Brown and Floyd Merriweather.
Floyd Landis was a superlative natural talent, even more so than Armstrong ever was.
"He has a big column in The Guardian every Friday, and he writes about anything he likes," Floyd says.
Violet has poured a cup of tea and motions to Floyd, who comes to sit beside her.
But, Floyd, you look like a Turkish pasha or an Arabian emir.
The idea of Floyd Grandon, traveller and explorer, whirling round in a giddy waltz!
O Floyd, how good you are, and how very, very happy it makes me!
But in the morning he goes on the last journey, holding Floyd Grandon's warm hand in his nerveless grasp.

"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
--Article II, Section 4 of the United States Constitution
Never has a public issue been so heatedly and contentiously debated as the recent impeachment and trial of President Clinton. Impeachment and trial are regarded as agents of the last resort to constitutionally accuse and remove federal civil officers who commit crimes against the state; or misuse their office in such a way that threatens our system of government and laws. William Jefferson Clinton is the first President to be impeached since Andrew Johnson in 1868. Johnson was acquitted in his Senate trial by a single vote. In 1974, President Richard M. Nixon decided to resign before the entire House of Representatives could vote on articles of impeachment already approved by the House Judiciary Committee. The recent plight of President Clinton underscores the importance of understanding the basics of impeachment and trial, how the process works, possible grounds of impeachable offenses and a historical review of the Johnson and Clinton cases.
The following segments are detailed below:
The Basics (menu)
The framework for impeachment is discussed in the Constitution of the United States. The United States House of Representatives has "the sole Power of impeachment (Article I, Section 2)." Impeachment is an accusation or, more precisely, a set of formal accusations brought against the President, Vice President or any other "civil Officer" of the United States government for "Treason, Bribery or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors" (Article II, Section 4). These formal accusations are codified as articles of impeachment. Prior to the impeachment of President Clinton, there have been only 13 impeachment trials of federal civil officers in the Senate. All but two were federal judges.
Each charge or offense is listed as a separate article of impeachment on which the House votes. A majority of the members of the House who are present must vote "yes" on at least one of the articles of impeachment for a trial to be held in the United States Senate. If none of the articles are approved, the process ends. On the other hand, when one or more articles of impeachment has been approved by the House, the official is "impeached" and will stand trial in the Senate.
The articles of impeachment are then brought before the Senate for trial. When the President of the United States is on trial, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides (Article II, Section 3). Civil officers who can be impeached include cabinet officials, federal judges, presidents, vice presidents and Supreme Court justices, but not members of Congress[1].
The Senators sit as judges, interrogators and jurors. In this sense, their role comes closest to that of Supreme Court or other appellate level judges. Senators can make up the rules that govern the trial proceedings, ask questions through the Chief Justice and pass judgment on the guilt or innocence of the accused. To convict, two-thirds of the Senators present must vote "guilty" on at least one article of impeachment to remove an official from public office. In addition, the Constitution states that an official who has been convicted is then disqualified from holding any other public office (Article I, Section 3). There is no constitutional punishment beyond this. However, "the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment, and Punishment, according to Law (Article I, Section 3)." Once someone has been removed from office they can still be tried and convicted in a civil or criminal court, and possibly go to prison. To summarize, the House has the sole power of impeachment while the Senate the sole power to conduct the trial.
How the Impeachment Process Works (menu)
Listed below are eleven important steps in the presidential impeachment and trial process. The Chief Justice only presides at presidential impeachment trials and will serve as our example to illustrate the process. In non-presidential impeachment trials, the Vice President or Senate pro tempore (temporary president of the Senate) presides at the trial. The process includes constitutional requirements and rules which are adopted by both House and Senate regarding the internal process of impeachment and trial. A presidential impeachment trial is the only time when all three branches of government intersect in a constitutionally mandated process.
What Qualifies as an Impeachable Offense (menu)
The impeachable offenses of bribery and treason mentioned earlier are easily defined and understood. The interpretation of "other high Crimes and Misdemeanors" as grounds to impeach and convict a federal civil officer has been disputed by constitutional scholars. One thing the scholars do agree upon is that the adjective "other," in Article II, Section 4, implies that the high crime and misdemeanor must be on a par with a crime of treason or bribery. The crime would have to undermine the legal, institutional or democratic foundations of our system of government. To gain a better understanding what the Constitution says about impeachment, it is first important to become acquainted with the origins of the impeachment process and the Framers role in shaping it for our Constitution.
Origins (menu)
The origins of the phrase "high Crimes and Misdemeanors" comes from English Common Law in 1386. The phrase not only referred to common criminal acts but also acts such as "maladministration" (i.e., incompetence) or other serious political offenses such as "misconduct in office." Later as British democracy began to blossom, the House of Commons was given impeachment power and the House of Lords removal power. However, the Crown had to sanction to such actions. Impeachment became a more common practice in the late 17th century as the dominion of royalty began to recede while the Parliament became more powerful in Britain. One of the most famous cases involved the Earl of Clarendon among whose crimes was selling Dunkirk to France in the 1660s without permission from the Lord Protector of England, Oliver Cromwell. This impeachment was symbolic of a larger issue dividing Protestants and Catholics in England[4].
The Framers Role (menu)
The Framers were concerned that impeachment not be used as a political tool as it had in England. In all likelihood, this is the reason they deliberated over impeachment for four months during the Constitutional convention of 1787 before coming to a solution. The initial drafts of what became Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution tried different approaches to define what an impeachable offense was: "mal-practice or neglect of duty," "treason, bribery and corruption" or "treason or bribery" or "maladministration" appeared in early drafts[5].
The breakthrough occurred when Colonel George Mason of Virginia made a suggestion which would serve as the foundation for Article II, Section 4. The phrase was "high Crimes and Misdemeanors against the state." Masons suggestion was further refined by the Constitutional Convention to read: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors against the United States"[6].
The Committee on Style and Arrangement of the Constitutional Convention, who were in charge of grammar and syntax deleted the phrase against the United States because they considered it to be repetitive. The clause still meant that actions taken by a civil officer must threaten the legal or political system in such a way that irreparable damage would be done if unpunished. For example, if the President murdered someone "besides the injury done to individuals, they (i.e., the crimes) strike at the very being of society. " How does this apply today? The controversy in the Clinton impeachment trial regarded whether or not the alleged acts of perjury (lying under oath) and obstruction of justice, in fact, "strike at the very being of society" undermining our system of laws and justice[7].
Possible Grounds for Impeachment (menu)
What is an impeachable offense? After all, it seems that the term "other high Crimes and Misdemeanors" is somewhat vague while treason and bribery are quite obvious. The categories discussed in this section cannot possibly cover every possible instance of an impeachable crime; but they do represent the major types of impeachable offenses. We start with the narrowest grounds of impeachable offenses and end up with the broadest grounds of high crimes and misdemeanors. One could argue that all six categories are impeachable or one could contend that only the first category applies or a combination of several of the categories. The different classifications of possible impeachable offenses, which follow, are explained below. Only treason and bribery are not discussed because those high crimes and misdemeanors are self-explanatory.
Impeachments and Trials of Presidents (menu)
Andrew Johnson (menu)
After Lincolns untimely assassination in April of 1865, as the Civil War was ending, Andrew Johnson assumed the Presidency from his position as Vice President. Johnson was an anti-secessionist Democrat who ran with Lincoln on a bi-partisan ticket and was elected with him in 1864 as Vice President. Since Johnson was a Democrat and the Congress was controlled by Republicans, it was not surprising that there would be clashes over Reconstruction policies when he assumed the presidency.
While acknowledging the reality of the liberation of Blacks from slavery, Johnson did not support the call for civil or voting rights protections under law. Furthermore, he did not believe that the South should be harshly punished for its actions in the Civil War. These policies enraged many Republicans who overrode President Johnsons vetoes on civil rights legislation. In another move, a group of a fiercely abolitionist Congressmen and Senators, known as the "Radical" Republicans, restricted the presidents power to fire cabinet officials by passing The Tenure of Office Act of 1867 over the veto of President Johnson[14].
The Tenure of Office Act stated that the President could not remove cabinet officers from the United States government unless the Senate consented. He did have the right to suspend cabinet or other appointed officials from their duties when the Senate was not in session. That suspension, however, would end once the Senate was back in session unless they passed a resolution agreeing with the Presidents actions[15].
The impeachment controversy began when Andrew Johnson fired his Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton with whom he had been feuding with for nearly a year. Stanton was popular among Republicans and had served ably in his position during the Civil War under Lincoln. However, behind the scenes he had been disrupting the Reconstruction policies of President Johnson. When Johnson sought to remove Stanton, it violated the Tenure of Office Act. Rather than test the constitutionality of the law before the Supreme Court, the House acted immediately by approving eleven articles of impeachment against President Johnson. All but two were related to the removal of Stanton. One of the articles regarded speeches "that had been inflammatory and reflected badly on Congress." The last Article of Impeachment was a series of unconnected charges[16].
Under the Constitution, the President is given the power of appointment of "other public ministers" under Article II Section 2 with the advice and consent of the Senate. In addition, the President takes an oath to see that "laws be faithfully executed" under Article II Section 1 of the Constitution. Chief Justice William Rehnquist has written about how President Johnsons counsel skillfully argued for acquittal. The counsel stated that for a President to faithfully execute the laws, he "must be able to appoint subordinate officers whom he can place his trust, and be able to remove them when they cease to have his trust." Furthermore, the Presidents counsel argued that the record of the First Congress confirmed this interpretation[17].
Although, Republicans held a 42-12 seat advantage over Democrats in the Senate, three articles of impeachment were voted down. President Johnson survived by only one vote, on each of the three articles. Two-thirds of the Senate were unable to find the President guilty of a high crime and misdemeanor. The other eight articles of impeachment were never voted on by the Senate. Interestingly enough, none of the articles which were voted on related directly to the Tenure of Office Act of 1867; but it appears that the Presidents counsel had convinced enough Republicans with his presentation not to remove Johnson from office[18].
William Jefferson Clinton (menu)
William Jefferson Clinton is only the second American president to have been impeached and tried in the nations history. Unlike the public duel between Andrew Johnson and congressional Republicans, the Clinton impeachment process grew out of a private relationship that, for better or worse, had public consequences.
Whitewater Independent Counsel, Kenneth Starr, was given the opportunity to enlarge his investigation, by the Attorney General, into the President when he believed there was evidence that Mr. Clinton and his friend, Washington attorney Vernon Jordan, may have helped former intern Monica Lewinsky get a job in order to secure her testimony in the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit. Ms. Lewinsky denied that she had a sexual relationship with the President in her deposition before the Jones attorneys. About a week later, on January 26, 1998, President Clinton made his first public statement on the Lewinsky matter, stating, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." Clinton had already given a deposition before the Jones attorneys and testified to the same thing[19].
During the spring of 1998, Independent Counsel, Kenneth Starr called numerous witnesses before a grand jury investigating charges of perjury (lying under oath about a sexual relationship), obstruction of justice and other wrongdoing with President Clinton as the main target. During the summer of 1998, Mr. Starr secured the cooperation of Monica Lewinsky. Before a federal grand jury, Ms. Lewinsky recanted her earlier story in the Jones deposition and now testified to having had a sexual relationship with President Clinton.
On August 17, 1998, the President in a federal grand jury appearance stated that he engaged in "inappropriate intimate contact" with Ms. Lewinsky. It is this phrase, more than any other that has served as the basis of the prosecution and defense in the Clinton impeachment trial[20].
The Independent Counsel and congressional Republicans contended that Clintons answer demonstrated that he was failing to tell the truth about a sexual relationship to a Federal grand jury by being evasive and uncooperative. They argued that he refused to provide details of his relationship with Ms. Lewinsky in the Oval Office which would corroborate Lewinskys story. The White House and some congressional Democrats argued that anyone could read between the lines regarding what the President meant and that he was not more specific to avoid further embarrassment to himself and his family.
Hearings were held before the House Judiciary Committee where articles of impeachment were drafted against the President. The four articles of impeachment were: 1) perjury before the grand jury; 2) perjury in the Paula Jones case; 3) obstruction of justice into the Independent Counsels investigation; and, 4) abuse of power. These articles of impeachment were then put to the House of Representatives for a full vote. The article of perjury before a federal grand jury passed by a vote of 228-206 and obstruction of justice into the Independent Counsels investigation passed by 221-212. The other two articles failed to pass the House. The articles adopted by the entire House were then placed before the Senate for trial.
The House managers arguing the case in the Senate trial contended that the President is the chief law enforcement official in the country. If the President lies before a federal grand jury about a sexual relationship, it is perjury, a crime which has put ordinary citizens and government officials in jail. Why should the President be held to a lower standard than any other citizen?
Second, the House managers argued that the President "prevented Paula Jones from obtaining truthful testimony and evidence that might have helped her lawsuit" against him by getting Monica Lewinsky to testify falsely. Such an attempt to cover-up the Presidents actions represents an obstruction of justice because he was trying to impede Ms. Jones right to a fair trial. Furthermore, the House managers argued that a womans ability to win a sexual harassment suit would be weakened if the chief law enforcement official of the nation, who willfully violates the law, is given a free pass by the Senate. Therefore, the House managers stated that the President should be removed from office[21].
The Presidents counsel argued that the Mr. Clintons actions were neither perjurious nor did they obstruct justice. The President counsels case was based on the following grounds: (1) Monica Lewinsky testified that the President never asked her to lie before a grand jury; (2) the case was nothing more than a "he said/she said" dispute with no other direct evidence showing that high crimes were committed; (3) there was no direct evidence that the President told White House officials or anyone else to cover-up his activities to obstruct justice; (4) that lying about a separate sexual relationship under oath which was not directly related to the facts of a sexual harassment suit (the Paula Jones case) could not be perjurious under the United States Federal Code of Laws; and, 5) even if they were crimes, they would not rise to the level of "high crimes and misdemeanors." The main premise of the last part of the President counsels argument was that even if the President lied about a sexual relationship under oath, that lie neither imperiled the country nor its institutions of government and democracy[22].
Alternatives to Conviction and Removal (menu)
The possibility that the Senate considered other options to conviction or acquittal of President Clinton was certainly not envisioned by the Framers of the Constitution. Whether these alternatives are constitutional is another matter. The censure option means that the Senate condemns the actions of President Clinton without any penalty. Censure was used in the past to condemn actions of Presidents Jackson and Buchanan, for example. Since censure is non-binding and not punitive, it probably is constitutional[23].
The finding-of-fact option calls for two votes: 1) a resolution stating that the President committed the crimes he was charged with by the House; and, 2) a vote on conviction or acquittal. However, the finding-of-fact alternative has caused concern among some legal experts. As University of Virginia Law Professor John C. Jeffries, Jr. stated: "The sanction for conviction is removal from office....Thats the constitutional command." There is no constitutional precedence for this option in any impeachment trial in the past. Some are concerned that such as action would carve out new legal territory unsupported by the Constitution. On the other hand, a finding-of-fact gives the Senate a stronger alternative to censure arguing that the President did commit a crime, but that crime did not warrant his removal from office[24].
For political scientists and other interested political observers, there is no way to assess the long-term impact of the Clinton impeachment trial on the American political system at such an early date. We do know that a series of weaker Presidents followed both Andrew Johnson and Richard Nixon. Will the presidency be weakened again after the Clinton era? We do not know how our political system will be affected in the short-term. All we can know is that in the long-term, our system of checks and balances among the branches of government is not likely to be destroyed by a single impeachment struggle, and will remain resilient as the Framers designed it to be.

is it real or fake?
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
Well i haven't started downloading it yet. Guess i'm gonna wait a few days until official release.
...still hoping it leaks out ^^

I am not judging you by the number of your posts but the way you are acting.
I am very curious too about all the new features but it is nothing I must have so bad that I start downloading dubious torrents. To be honest it won't matter at all if it will take another week or month or year. It will be out, when it's out. But nothing I need so bad that I ask the same question which has been asked thousand of times and we (as in the community) have been asked to have the patience to wait until it is finally released. BT3 is working like a charm and fits all the purposes it was made for.
The first thing you should learn when considering using any cool of these Hax0r t00lz is to have patience since rushing head first into something isn't good most of the time
