Red Light Photo Enforcement Program
Since 2004, the City of Vista's red-light cameras have contributed to making city streets safer. The City believes red light cameras are only appropriate at specific intersections with high rates of red light running. Before red light cameras were installed, City Engineering staff underwent an extensive effort to identify major signalized intersections with high traffic volumes and substantial red light running rates. The five intersections listed below were selected for red light camera enforcement through this process. Total collisions resulting from red-light violations have decreased 57% at photo-enforced intersections since the inception of the program.
Enforced Intersections
- Civic Center Drive at S. Santa Fe Avenue
- Emerald Drive at W. Vista Way
- S. Melrose Drive at Hacienda Drive
- Vista Village Drive at N. Santa Fe Avenue
- Sycamore Avenue at Shadowridge Drive
How Do Red Light Cameras Work?
Watch the "How Red Light Cameras Work" video. Click Here to View Video.
Photo enforcement of intersections with traffic signals is an automated technology which law enforcement agencies can use to detect and record dangerous driving behaviors, such as red-light running.
Incident Detection: A camera system monitors approaching traffic. The system is only triggered to capture data of a vehicle – including a close-up image of the license plate, date and time of incident and lane number – if a potential violation is detected.
Evidence Collection: All data is transmitted and encrypted to a secure central processing center and digitally signed, preventing interception and manipulation of the evidence, while ensuring the highest level of protection to the chain of custody.
Evidence Review: Following a comprehensive review process, law enforcement agencies are provided with secure evidence packages containing potential violations. A local officer reviews and approves the evidence to determine if a violation is warranted. Drivers found in violation receive a citation in the mail.
All City of Vista photo enforcement systems are compliant with local, state and federal laws.
What Are the Benefits of Photo Enforcement?
- Automated enforcement cameras can save lives.
- Crash Prevention: Photo enforcement programs help prevent crashes, thereby reducing possible death, personal injury, property damage, traffic delays, and Police, Fire and EMT resources.
- Automatic Detection: Photo enforcement cameras are fully automated. No action is required by an officer at the scene to trigger or activate the system.
- All incidents pass a four-point inspection process prior to being determined to be a valid violation of the law.
- Police Force Multiplier: Photo enforcement programs serve as "police force multipliers" enabling local officers to refocus their energies on high-priority tasks, while still ensuring the safety and security of problematic intersections.
- 24/7 Deterrent: The presence of photo enforcement causes drivers to think twice before initiating any risky maneuvers. The camera systems serve as deterrents to breaking the law, 24/7.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is red light running?
A violation occurs when a motorist enters an intersection after the signal light has turned red. Motorists who have crossed the white stop line prior to a signal entering the red phase (e.g., waiting to turn left) are not considered red light runners.
Is red light running really a problem?
Red light running is one of the major causes of collisions, deaths and injuries at signalized intersections. According to a 2011 U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report, it is estimated that 20 percent of drivers do not obey intersection signals. Crashes caused by red light running result in more than 800 fatalities and 165,000 injuries each year, according to the NHTSA. The economic impact of red light running on society is estimated to be $14 billion annually. Other motorists and pedestrians account for nearly half the deaths caused by red light running crashes.
What are red light cameras and how do they work?
Red light cameras help communities enforce traffic laws by automatically photographing vehicles whose drivers run red lights. A red light camera system is connected to sensors that monitor traffic flow at the crosswalk or stop line. The system continuously monitors the traffic signal 24/7, and the camera itself is triggered by any vehicle entering the intersection above a pre-established minimum speed and following a specified time after the signal has turned red. A second photograph shows the red light violator in the intersection. Cameras record the date, time of day, time elapsed since the beginning of the red signal and vehicle speed. Tickets are sent by mail to owners of the violating vehicles after a review by a Sheriff's Department Community Service Officer of the photographic evidence. You can view your photos and video online at www.photonotice.com by entering the required information from the summons. The Citation Number is a nine digit alpha-numeric entry composed of the prefix followed by the Ticket Number. The city code is VST. If you do not have access to a computer, you may use computers in the public library.
Is not conventional law enforcement sufficient?
Red light cameras are designed to identify traffic law violators without depending on the presence of sheriff's deputies, who can be better used patrolling streets, essentially providing twenty four hour law enforcement as it relates to red light running violators.
I have heard extending yellow signal timing can be sufficient to prevent red light running.
The City of Vista has always had yellow light intervals that meet the State standards. This ensures that an intersection gains any benefit that yellow timing intervals provide to reduce red light running. However, long yellow timing intervals alone are not sufficient to substantially reduce red light running and decrease high accident rates. Therefore, when intersections are carefully evaluated, red light camera enforcement systems may still be appropriate at busy intersections.
Is photo enforcement just a thinly-veiled attempt by the government to generate revenue?
Photo enforcement deters aggressive and dangerous driving behavior and studies have shown significant safety benefits of automated traffic enforcement. Photo enforcement programs are completely violator funded and do not cost law-abiding residents anything. It is important to note; however, that revenues do not necessarily equal profits. Photo enforcement systems are a costly endeavor, including the cost of the equipment, installation, operation, maintenance, and program oversight. It is also important to note the City's vendor administering the program is paid the same fixed amount each month, and therefore, is independent of the number of citations issued for the month.
How does the City respond to critics who say the photo enforcement cameras violate motorists' rights to privacy and are another example of "Big Brother" invading the public's right to privacy?
Signs indicating that red light running cameras are in use are clearly posted in advance of the intersection to ensure motorists are aware of the cameras. A violation is mailed out and includes a link to view the video tape and photo of the incident along with detailed data. Cameras have become a part of our everyday existence. When shopping, using an ATM, or filling up your car, you're on camera. When you choose to travel on public streets, you have a responsibility to operate a vehicle in a safe manner and abide by all traffic laws. The technology is simply another legal tool available to the City to ensure drivers are driving in a safe and responsible manner for themselves and those utilizing public streets and sidewalks.
What do I do if I get red light ticket?
If you received a red light ticket in the mail that means the system captured a video and photos of your vehicle entering an intersection on a red light. Before a ticket is mailed out, a Sheriff's Department Community Service Officer reviews the footage to ensure a violation did in fact occur. Those receiving a ticket have an opportunity to go online at www.photonotice.com to review the alleged infraction in order to make a decision if they have violated the law. Additionally, those issued a ticket have an opportunity to contest their ticket in municipal court, just as they can with a traditional traffic ticket.
How much does a red light running ticket cost?
The State established the cost of a red light camera ticket at approximately $490. The majority of the fee goes to the State and to the County court system. The City of Vista receives $158 from a fully paid citation.
Who do I contact if I have a question about my ticket?
The public should contact the Sheriff's Department Community Service Officer at 760.414.3364.

Deep Magic: The "Physics" of Sacrifice
An atheist blogger surprised me recently by quoting Hebrews: "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins." He was quoting it because for him it epitomized everything that's wrong with Christianity: barbarism, illogic, insanity.
On the one hand, I think he misunderstood the meaning of the phrase. He seemed to think that Christians might go around forgiving people by killing sheep, or cutting themselves like the priests of Baal.
On the other hand, I think his horror was a reaction to something real, and was therefore a credit to him, since he intuitively saw something that we Christians sometimes miss: that love always costs. For the thoroughgoing atheist, the problem of suffering might eventually be solved by means of technology and an ingenious rearrangement of political systems.
But the Christian knows that it takes blood.
I wrote a few months ago on my favorite things about being a Catholic. One of them was that we can offer up our sufferings for the good of others. This seems to me not so much an addendum to the spiritual life as the very heart of it. The fact that voluntary suffering is spiritually efficacious is no less than a spiritual law, in almost exactly the same sense that gravity is a physical law.
That is to say, it's not a rule in the same sense that soccer has rules. It's descriptive rather than prescriptive. It is the way the world works. If we are surprised that the spiritual world should have rules, it is because we have forgotten that the spiritual world is no less real, no less objective, than the physical world. More so, if anything.
Seeing things in this light has helped me gain a better understanding of the Redemption. If the Crucifixion was some sort of horrible deal that Jesus cut with God the Father—I'll let you subject me to agony and death, if you let them off the hook—then God the Father doesn't sound like anybody I'd want to spend eternity with.
If, on the other hand, sacrifice is a structure that is built into the universe, then Jesus' decision to be crucified looks a bit more like Frodo's decision to carry the ring into Mordor: it's going to be horrible, but what else is there to be done—and who else is there for the job?
I don't mean to say that Jesus was forced into the Crucifixion; love can always turn necessity into choice. And I certainly don't know whether it was the only way he could have done it—who can know that? If I seem to be implying that God, in submitting to the law of sacrifice, was submitting to something outside of Himself, well, maybe I am implying that. If God is bound by the law of sacrifice, He is bound by it in the same sense that He is bound by His decision to give us free will, the same sense in which what a priest holds bound on earth will be held bound in Heaven, and in the same sense that Aslan was bound by the Deep Magic.
What I do mean to say, at least, is that our sacrifices, both the ones we consciously undertake, and the ones forced on us, are efficacious, and that voluntary submission to suffering gives us great power over the forces of darkness. Not a bad thing to keep in mind this time of year.

New Exam for med students: Peer review
The ratings can flag habits that make for bad doctors
By Dawn Fallik (http://go.philly.com/askdawn)
The Philadelphia Inquirer, Nov. 4, 2005, page 1 (excerpts)
Spurred on by malpractice cases, increasing patient loads, and a new national "bedside manner" exam, medical schools are trying to find new ways to weed out bad doctors and teach the ones they have to survive in a new medical world.
Anonymous peer review is a way to get a glimpse into personality quirks - like continual lateness or callous behavior - that could be addressed in school. Dr. Ron Epstein, an associate dean at the University of Rochester School of Medicine who helped create one of the first surveys, says: "In the culture of medicine, errors tend to be covered up and personality problems tend to be ignored."
Counseling now could help catch the worse offenders later. A 2004 study of 68 former medical students at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), who faced disciplinary actions in the state found that many had received comments about unprofessional behavior at medical school.
A spokeswoman from the American Association of Medical Colleges said many schools have peer evaluations at the resident level, but only a few are doing so in the early years. Drexel University is one of the handful, along with the University of Rochester and the Indiana University School of Medicine. The way the schools handle the responses varies. At Rochester, each student discusses his reviews with a mentor. At Drexel, only those who receive comments at the very positive or very negative end of the scale hear about it.
Donna Russo, an associate dean at Drexel said: "Often students are stunned. They didn't realize how their behavior affected others. And they immediately change that behavior." So far, most of the peer comments have been about a lack of attendance, or dominating a group instead of letting everyone have a chance. Drexel microbiology professor Larson summed up: "We want to create physicians who are good with their patients, and the peer evaluations (help). It's such a team-based career."

"I didn't feel a drop," Hockey says, such was his enthusiasm for the task that lay ahead.
Hockey is careful about what he relays from the meeting with Bernanke, the most powerful economic official in the world.
"We did talk about quantitative easing, we did talk about the international financial framework, what's happening on the hill and the G20," Hockey says.
Hockey's caution is well founded. As a new member of parliament in 1996, he remembers all too well the trouble Peter Costello got himself into when the then treasurer's comments to The Australian Financial Review's Michael Stutchbury about a conversation with Fed chair Alan Greenspan caused the world's bond markets to move.
Hockey has come a long way since those days as a backbencher and then junior minister in the Howard government. As Treasurer, he is now representing Australia and forging relations with some of the heavy hitters of the world economy. It is a steep learning curve for a man that some in the business community about a year ago were doubting could rise to be of the Costello or Keating ilk as Treasurer.
"I feel comfortable," Hockey says."People find it refreshing to have that Aussie honesty."
Former treasurer
An opportunity for Australia
While Hockey has little regard for Swan and disagrees with the over-exuberant fiscal policy response, he is well aware what an opportunity this trip is to mark out a place for himself and Australia on the international stage.
At a precarious time for the global economy five years after it almost fell off a cliff, Hockey is gaining valuable insights from his meetings with International Monetary Fund managing director
After being sworn in as Treasurer less than a month ago, Hockey dined with G20 finance ministers on Thursday night and was scheduled to hold bilateral talks with US Treasury secretary
Beyond gathering intelligence on the world economy, including first-hand accounts from Congressional Republicans and Democrats about the dispute over the US budget, there is another reason why Hockey sees his visit to Washington as crucial. He is actively lobbying world leaders to attend the G20 in Australia next year. The forum presents an opportunity not only to promote Australia to the world, but also to push its priorities on the global economic policy front.
But the G20 has lost much of its zest since five years ago, when it influenced the response of global policymakers to the financial crisis. The G20's agenda has become erratic, weighed down by side issues, and it has achieved little in recent years.
In Washington, Hockey is acutely aware of this perception, and the unavoidable fact that Australia is a long way to travel for busy world leaders. There is a risk some key figures could be missing in action next year, unless Hockey and Prime Minister
"I'm doing everything I can to make sure they put aside the time to come to the G20," Hockey says. "They will travel to Australia if there is a worthwhile agenda."
Hockey has even promised to take the IMF's Christine Lagarde scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef if she makes the 20-hour flight from Washington to Australia.
Three major meetings
Australia will host three major G20 meetings; two meetings of combined finance ministers and central bank governors in Sydney and Cairns in February and September respectively, culminating in a world leaders' gathering in Brisbane next November.
To overcome inertia towards the G20, Hockey has been telling counterparts this week that he wants a simple agenda.
He has disclosed two likely items. The first theme, often more associated with Labor governments, is infrastructure funding.
Hockey is talking to the World Bank, IMF and finance ministers about new funding models for infrastructure, for the developing and developed worlds.
"It will be a focus for Australia in its leadership role for the G20 next year," he says.
The infrastructure theme also plays to the Coalition's domestic political and economic agenda. Abbott, with a hint of populism, has declared he wants to be known as the infrastructure prime minister.
After winning the September election and sensing business confidence would turn around with a new government, Hockey asserted that he wanted to see cranes in the skies of the cities.
As a supporter of small government and free markets, Hockey's basic instinct is that the private sector should be the first port of call to finance and build projects such as roads, rail and ports.
But he's coming around to the thinking of the likes of former Reserve Bank of Australia board member Warwick McKibbin, business confidant and Westpac institutional bank boss Rob Whitfield that government can use its balance sheet and AAA credit rating to access cheap funds to finance investment. "I'm meeting with the rating agencies next week in New York and I'm looking forward to those discussions," Hockey says.
"They are also going to focus on what we can do to ensure that Australia maintains its credit rating at AAA level, but at the same time we need to be more ambitious in the way we fund infrastructure in Australia."
These views are being formulated against the backdrop of the IMF's latest World Economic Outlook published this week.
Economy will grow at below average pace
The Washington-based fund forecast that the Australian economy will grow at below average pace until at least the end of next year, and the unemployment rate will rise to 6 per cent for the first time in a decade.
Hockey sees infrastructure investment as a way to offset the decline in mining investment over the next few years.
"Because ultimately we have to have a medium to long-term plan to fund infrastructure, to stimulate the economic growth with job stability and certainty to address the challenge of rising unemployment," Hockey says.
The second G20 agenda item that Hockey is pushing in Washington is tackling the erosion of the corporate tax base. The OECD has warned of the risks to the tax base of governments from companies shifting profits to low-tax jurisdictions.
The practice has proliferated as globalisation has taken hold, with the likes of Google, Amazon and Starbucks regularly cited as examples of companies paying little corporate tax in countries where they operate.
Australia is not immune. Getting finance ministers on board with his priorities will be a challenge.
There are divergent views on global economic priorities. The UK's Osborne favours fiscal austerity, US President Barack Obama's Treasury man Lew believes budget cuts forced by Republicans have hurt the economy and Brazil has been espousing its views on more regulations and extra taxes.
But Hockey believes he can win over counterparts. His travelling partner, Treasury Secretary
For Hockey, the fruits of this inaugural trip to Washington as Treasurer will be partly judged on who shows up to the G20's meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors in Cairns in September next year. The Treasurer will be hoping he can swap the early morning stroll to see Lagarde wading into the water with her snorkel and mask.

Amanda Bynes Thinks Her Case Is Getting Dropped, Has Words With Courtney Love Over Twitter
Honestly, in this day and age, why do celebs need publicists when they can just broadcast the latest need-to-know themselves on Twitter? Amanda Bynes took to Twitter today to announce that her lawyer is working on getting her case dismissed, by agreeing to not pursue charges that the arresting officer "slapped" her vagina. But she's still planning to sue him for a monetary sum, which, in combination with knowing he's not "handsome" enough to be her boyfriend, will be a punishment "worse than jail." So, that's what Amanda claims is happening with her case. No word on what the actual truth is.
Also, Amanda apparently has moved on from shit-talking Rihanna, because the latest object of her misplaced ire is Courtney Love. Amanda responded to an E! Online story in which Courtney advises Amanda to "get it together," by tweeting:
"Courtney Love is the ugliest woman I've ever seen. To be mentioned by her at all makes me and all my friends laugh!"
Putting aside the kind of ridiculousness of Courtney Love of all people telling Amanda to get it together, what the hell is up with Amanda's obsession with other peoples' looks? Her go-to insult is always to call the person ugly in some way. Everything about this situation is sad as shit, man. [Twitter]

Sophomore guard Allen Crabbe joined Gutierrrez on the all-conference first team and senior forward Harper Kamp received second-team honors for the second time.
Gutierrez is the only player in conference history ever to receive both the Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year awards. His accomplishment in the same year marks only the second time that a school has received both awards in the same season. In 2007-08, UCLAs Kevin Love was named Player of the Year and Russell Westbrook was chosen for Defensive Player of the Year honors.
Sophomore guard Justin Cobbs received Pac-12 honorable mention and freshman forward David Kravish was named to the five-man Pac-12 All-Freshman team. Washingtons Tony Wroten was selected as the conferences Freshman of the Year and was flanked by Huskies head coach Lorenzo Romar who received Coach of the Year honors. Washington States Brock Motum was named the leagues most improved player of the year.
Gutierrez has been instrumental in leading the Bears to their third 20-win season in four years and becomes the sixth Cal player to earn Pac-12 Player of the Year honors. He joins Jason Kidd (1994), Shareef Abdur-Rahim (1996), Ed Gray (1997), Sean Lampley (2001), and Jerome Randle (2010). Gutierrez averaged 12.9 ppg (12th in Pac-12), posted 5.3 rebounds per game, and a team-best 1.2 steals per game (12th in Pac-12). He is the active career leader for assists (408), is second in steals (145) and is third for points (1,189).
Defensively, Gutierrez has been a key for the Bears, this year. Cal has allowed its opponents only 61.2 points per game overall. As a team, Cal is in the leagues top-three for field goal percentage defense (.408), three-point percentage defense (.324), and rebounding defense (30.5). Gutierrez led the team in steals (36 total, 1.2 spg, 12th in Pac-12) and is ninth in the Pac-12 in defensive rebounds with an average of 4.5 ppg. He joins Butch Hays (1984) as the second Cal player to earn the honor.
Crabbe was last years Pac-10 Freshman of the Year and has continued to be a valuable cog to the Cal offense. He averaged 15.4 ppg, this season, and ranked second on the team in rebounds (5.6 rpg). Kamp has been as consistent a force for the Bears as ever. He started all 31 of Cals games, and has put in 11.3 ppg to go with 5.1 rpg.
Cobbs produced career numbers in all statistical categories, this year, and is second in the conference for assists (5.1 apg). He scored a career-high 28 points in a win against Oregon and had 13 assists against Oregon State; both Cal highs. Kravish has contributed 7.0 ppg and 5.7 rpg, this year. He leads the team with 36 blocks and grabbed a season-high 18 rebounds in a win against USC on Feb. 9.
Cal (23-8, 13-5 Pac-12) holds the second seed in the upcoming Pacific Life Pac-12 Tournament and will face the winner of a game between Stanford and Arizona State in the quarterfinals on Thursday, March 8, at 6 p.m. PT at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Nocturnes is a collection of supernatural novellas and stories which echoes the work of some of the masters of the genreM.R. James, Ray Bradbury, Stephen Kingwhile never losing the distinctive voice of the stories' creator, John Connolly. Here are lost lovers and missing children, predatory demons and vengeful ghosts. In the novella 'The Cancer Cowboy Rides,' a New Hampshire town is infected by the arrival of a tormented stranger; in 'Some Children Wander by Mistake,' a sinister circus returns to reap the fruits of seeds sown many years before; in 'The New Daughter,' a father comes to suspect that a burial mound on his land hides something very ancient, and very much alive; and in 'The Underbury Witches,' a pair of London detectives find themselves battling a particularly female evil in a town culled of its menfolk.
Finally, private detective Charlie Parker returns in the long novella, 'The Reflecting Eye.' The photograph of an unknown girl turns up in the mail box of an abandoned house once occupied by an infamous killer, forcing Parker to confront the possibility that the house of John Grady is not as empty as it appears, and that something has been waiting in the darkness for its chance to kill again...
"Connolly is an excellent storyteller, who combines his own unique voice with a wonderful sense of humour; his one-liners will have the reader laughing long after the book has been closed. These supernatural tales are beautifully written, with not a single bad story among them."
—Chapter and Verse Magazine
"All in all, an inventive, intriguing collection."
—The Irish Times
"Sometimes we read horror stories for a glimpse of the strange, a glimmer of the uncanny. And sometimes we just want to hear the author go boo. Of the two, it's easier to say boo. John Connolly is rather good at it."
—The Herald (Glasgow)
"Children go missing, lovers are lost, creatures emerge from below the ground and demons lurk in the shadows as Connolly, clearly having the time of his life, does his best to scare the wits out of his readers."
—Gold Coast Bulletin (Australia)
"With folk tales including monsters that linger in your mind, leaving you locking your doors and windows tightly, and the unsettling tales that leave you questioning your perception of the people and the world around you, Nocturnes is delightfully discomfiting.... "
—Lincolnshire Echo
"Spookier than mere pastiche, meatier than pure pulp, Nocturnes hits exactly the right note in reinventing the golden age of ghost stories."

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Thank you for contacting JustAnswer.
I am sorry to hear about the problems you are experiencing. It is extremely difficult to be in an abusive relationship, particularly because things are never all bad or all good. Your husband may at times act in ways that are not abusive, making it difficult to tell when he may revert to abusive behavior, and perhaps making you think that things may get better or that you should stay. Abuse is often about controlling the other person. It is understandable that you would react with anger to this type of treatment. I am glad to hear that you have been using your faith and support system to help you through this. You may want to consider individual therapy as well in order to get some support for yourself, build up your self esteem, help you to set boundaries, and work on deciding what is best for you. Remember that no one deserves to be abused. You may find the following website helpful: http://www.mentalhelp.net/poc/center_index.php?id=2
In the meantime, be sure to take care of yourself through healthy eating, exercise, rest and reaching out to supportive people in your life. As you have discovered, affairs are not helpful as they typically only serve to complicate matters further. They are generally only a symptom of the problem.
One thing I would add is that it seems that you have been doing quite a bit of emotional work about this relationship. In order for this to be a healthy relationship, we would expect your partner to do a relatively equal amount of emotional work (if you balance it out over time). This may be one way to evaluate if someone is committed to a relationship and to changing in order to make the relationship work. You deserve someone who will put the work into the relationship as well, since it takes two people to make it work. Also, I definitely believe in trusting your gut. It is often a very good indicator of red flags that should not be ignored. Feelings of love tend to be very irrational, while the gut is a good barometer of danger, both physical and emotional. I hope this answer is helpful. Please let me know if I can clarify further.
Thank you for sharing this information. It certainly sounds like a very controlling and emotionally abusive situation that you are living in. I can understand your wanting to stay there for your daughter's sake, although you may want to consider whether she would also be better off out of that situation. Whatever you decide, the healthier you are emotionally, the better it will be for her.
You asked how to cope or what to say when he says things that upset you. The first thing to remember is that past behavior predicts future behavior, unless someone really works on changing, so it is extremely likely that he will continue in these abusive patterns. The only control you have is how you respond to him and how much power you give to him to hurt you emotionally. When he makes hurtful comments, you can choose to walk away, not take them to heart, remind yourself that this is the abuse talking, etc. Remember that the more you respond to him, argue with him, or let him see that these comments bother you, the more they reward his behavior and make him more likely to continue. As you have seen, when he sees that the comments don't bother you he moves on to other topics. The key is to not let him have that power over you on any topic. As soon as he starts with any negative comments you can simply end the conversation by leaving the room or calmly stating that you are not going to discuss it. Use as little emotion as possible with this.
You asked what you can say to make him shut up about your exercising. The first step is to stop asking him or even discussing your exercising with him. Exercise is healthy and positive for you. There is no reason that you need to share your exercise plans with him. You can begin to take on the power for yourself to stop debating your exercising and just do it. I hope this answer is helpful. Please let me know if I can clarify further.
I am glad that this information has been helpful. I certainly do not share your information with anyone. Please note that, as per the privacy and security statement on the JustAnswer site:

Capping Lawyers' Tobacco Fees
Capping Lawyers' Tobacco Fees
WASHINGTON--One of Shakespeares characters wanted to "kill all the lawyers." Rep. Scott McInnis (R-Colo) just wants to cap their legal fees, at least in any national tobacco agreement. In introducing a bill to limit any legal fees from a settlement to $150 an hour plus expenses, Rep. McInnis noted that some states have entered into contracts with private attorneys that called for payments of up to 25% of funds collected from tobacco cases.
"I hope this legislation will serve to initiate the debate regarding how the money from a tobacco settlement deal is to be allocated," he said. "I believe that the funds would best be used to prevent underage smoking, not to line the pockets of a few trial attorneys."
For example, lawyers in the recent multibillion dollar Texas settlement stand to collect $2.2 billion under their contract with the state.

Shanghai (AFP) Nov 15, 2011
Scores of mourners placed flowers and burned incense on Tuesday for the one-year anniversary of the worst fire since 1949 in China's commercial hub of Shanghai, which killed 58 people.
The fire engulfed a downtown residential block, injured 71 and became a focus of public anger.
A government investigation showed welders working for an unlicensed company accidentally ignited nylon netting around the 28-storey building, which was being renovated to improve energy efficiency.
But the fire -- Shanghai's worst since the founding of the People's Republic of China -- also raised questions about the close relations between the contractors and authorities in the district where the building was located.
Former building residents, relatives and others gathered in a fenced-in area outside the derelict building to place wreaths and offerings for the dead, such as food, on a makeshift altar under the watchful eyes of police.
One former resident, overcome with grief, cried for several minutes. "My heart feels heavy," she told AFP.
Another woman, who declined to be named, said she had come to mourn her cousin Wang Fang who lost her life in the fire.
"We came to remember her," she said. "The government is unfeeling," she added, referring to the dispute between the government and families over compensation.
Some 57 families have accepted compensation offered by the local government for their destroyed homes, but more than 100 are still holding out, the state-run Global Times newspaper reported Tuesday.
Shanghai jailed 25 people over the disaster and handed out administrative penalties to 28 officials for responsibility for the fire, it said.
Gao Weizhong, head of construction in Shanghai's central Jing'an district where the fire occurred, was found guilty of abuse of power and accepting bribes for awarding building contracts, and jailed for 16 years.
In a commentary, the official Xinhua news agency blamed the disaster on bad management and weak enforcement of safety regulations.
"This is a human disaster that could have been avoided," it said.

North China gas blast kills eight: state media
Beijing (AFP) Nov 14, 2011
An explosion ripped through a fast-food restaurant in China Monday, killing at least eight people including a child and shattering windows up to three kilometres away, officials and state media said. Among the victims were children who were passing by the building on their way to school at the time of the blast, the official Xinhua news agency said. Photographs taken outside the high-ris ... read more

Australian shares fell today, surrendering early gains on worries about earnings in the troubled retail sector and as concerns about the European debt crisis flared again after S&P downgraded Spanish sovereign debt.
The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index lost 13.1 points, or 0.3 per cent, to 4362.1, while the broader All Ords fell 11.6 points, or 0.3 per cent, to 4433.4.
Losses were led by the materials sector, which fell 0.6 per cent. Energy stocks shed 0.5 per cent and financials slipped 0.2 per cent.
"Apart from the high-yielding stocks like Telstra and Commonwealth Bank, most stocks struggled to gain traction," said IG Markets strategist Stan Shamu.
For the week, the benchmark index lost 0.1 per cent. Year-to-date, the market is up 7.5 per cent.
Traders hit 'snooze' button
The sharemarket looked a little jaded to end the week, with traders appearing to have hit the ''snooze'' button despite the solid performance of US equities in recent days, said CMC Markets trader Tim Waterer.
''Given the nice lead from Wall Street, 4400 looked to be there for the taking on the ASX200, however selling pressure on our heavyweight materials and energy stocks put those aspirations on hold.''
In a timely reminder that the eurozone debt crisis is likely to continue to affect the local market next week, Spanish 10-year bond yields this evening briefly topped 6 per cent again, a level that is considered unsustainable for the country.
And European shares fell in early trade after three straight days of gains as the move by Standard & Poor's to cut its credit rating on Spain by two notches hurt sentiment.
JB Hi-Fi sparks sell-off
Locally, retailers were sold off after a steep profit downgrade by former market darling JB Hi-Fi, which fell 6.3 per cent. Electrical goods chain Harvey Norman lost 2.4 per cent and department store Myer was off 2.9 per cent.
Mr Shamu said weakness across the retail sector highlighted the need for an interest rate cut, widely expected when the central bank meets next Tuesday.
Twenty-six of 27 economists surveyed by Bloomberg expect the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to cut its cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.00 per cent at its May 1 meeting, while one economist is tipping a 50 basis point cut.
Shares in Macquarie Group outperformed, climbing 3.0 per cent as investors welcomed a share buyback after the investment bank reported a slightly smaller-than-expected 23 per cent fall in second-half net profit.
PMP surges on bid
Shares in PMP more than doubled to 62 cents from 25 cents after the struggling printer and publisher said it has received a highly conditional offer in a range of 68 to 78 cents per share. That valued the company at between 220 million and $252 million.
On Tuesday, PMP shares had slumped after a profit downgrade due to a decline in the retail and publishing markets.
Shares in Sundance Resources jumped 3.2 per cent in early trade and ended up 1.1 per cent at 47 cents after the miner signed off on key terms on an iron-ore project with the Cameroon government.
That brought Sundance a step closer towards starting construction on its Mbalam project in west Africa and selling the business to China's Hanlong Mining.
Catering services firm Spotless asked for a trading halt to be extended until Monday, pending an announcement about takeover talks with Pacific Equity Partners (PEP).

Robert Zemeckis May Take Flight
UPDATE: He's going on the trip
Update: Prepare for take off! Zemeckis is on board and Washington's deal is apparently close to locked, according to the LA Times. It should be shooting by the autumn.
It turns out that sci-fi 'toon Mars Needs Moms crashing and burning at the box office might actually have a positive effect on its producer's career – as it appears Robert Zemeckis is now looking to get back into live-action filmmaking, entering an approach vector for Paramount's drama thriller Flight, with Denzel Washington loosely attached as a star.
Written by Real Steel's John Gatins, Flight focuses on a pilot looking to rescue his life from the spiral of drug and alcohol addiction. He's tested when the plane he's flying develops a serious mechanical failure, but steps up to the task and saves both it and his passengers.
And when the Federal Aviation Authority, which investigates such things, finds evidence pointing to his drug use, it attempts to shove it under the rug in order to help his recovery.
If he does bring the project in to land, this will mark Zemeckis' first foray into live action since Cast Away in 2000, and following his left turn into the world of motion-capture with the likes of The Polar Express and A Christmas Carol. But while he'd lined up at least one more using the technology, a remake of trippy Beatles musical Yellow Submarine, that saw its plug pulled following Mars' failure. The idea that he'll return to full live-action filmmaking has us cheering, so keep your fingers crossed...

Regional titles on offer
Media release
19 February 2014
Regional titles on offer
Click for big version.
Talented boccia players from all across the Lower North Island are currently honing their skills in preparation for the first major boccia tournament in 2014.
Hosted by Boccia New Zealand, with support from the local Palmerston North Boccia club, the Lower North Island Boccia Championships are due to be held at Arena Manawatu in Palmerston North on April 5-6.
Palmerston North's Greig "the surgeon" Jackson looks to retain his number one ranking after dominating the national scene in 2013.
"Boccia is a highly skilled and strategic Paralympic sport that tests each competitor's degree of muscle control and accuracy and can be played almost anywhere," Boccia New Zealand Director Luke Morriss says.
Seated, athletes throw, kick or use a ramp to propel six leather balls as close as possible to a white target ball, the jack.
The Championships this year are also likely to feature a range of challengers from Wanganui's Diederik Struijck to Wellington's Hyran Daymond, as well as a swag of other rising players who look to push for higher honours this year.
"For some players our regional Championships are a great sporting and social opportunity and probably serve as their first step into competitive boccia, whilst others such as Greig use these as a chance to track their progress towards success at the bigger tournaments later in the year", said Morriss.
Other international tournaments beckon this year with the Australian Nationals scheduled for May and the World Championships due to be held in Beijing in September. Last year New Zealand reluctantly handed over the Trans-Tasman Shield to Australia after a decade-long stranglehold on the trophy and will look to reclaim this following the Championships.
"Greig will undoubtedly play a huge role in helping us reclaim the Shield from Australia" said Morriss. "After impressively finishing 4th in last year's Asia and Oceania Champs, we also hope Greig has qualified and gets his 'golden ticket' to attend this years' World Champs".
For a sport that relies heavily on volunteers, Morriss says "the tournament is also highly beneficial for family members, friends, significant others and volunteers who are interested in becoming mentors / coaches or referees".

WHITTIER -- "This is absolutely shameful," said City Councilman Joe Vinatieri. "I'm going to say it again, this is shameful. "
The object of Vinatieri's disgust at the council's April 23 meeting was the federal government's record of long delays in providing benefits for U.S., military veterans, including those who are returning home from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The number of Southern California veterans waiting for more than a year for their benefits has increased from 262 in 2009 to the current 21,567, according to Veterans Affairs records reported in the Whittier staff report.
The typical delay for Los Angeles veterans has gone from 109 days to 431 days, and more than 3,000 Southern California veterans have been waiting for more than two years for their benefits, said the report.
"As it turns out," said Vinatieri, "Southern California has the worst record in the country. "
The VA blames the delays on a 50 percent increase in the number of claims filed. That in turn is a result of the double-hit of more veterans returning from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and Vietnam veterans requesting compensation for illnesses newly connected to Agent Orange, according to the staff report.
In addition, the VA has lost more than 2,000 workers who were temporarily paid with federal economic stimulus funds.
The problem came before the council after Vinatieri brought it up during the council's April 9 meeting and requested that it be put on the agenda for a future council meeting so members could discuss it.
"We don't normally get involved in federal affairs," said Vinatieri, "but we have so many veterans and so many people here in Whittier who are serving in the armed services who are going to be out and deserving of some of these benefits, I think we all agree we have a responsibility" to say something.
Vinatieri urged the council and Whittier residents to send letters stating their concerns to the director of Veterans Affairs as well as current and former members of Congress, county supervisors and state representatives.
Other council members expressed support for taking action.
"This affects so many of our citizens," said Mayor Bob Henderson. "It affects our homeless population, it affects our individuals who have submitted claims and are simply being ignored. And there is no excuse. We saw this coming. I mean it's been talked about for years about how this would come down with the ending of the Iraq and Afghan wars. And yet it's getting worse and worse and worse, so it's time for us to let our voice be heard. "
Councilwoman Cathy Warner said her mother filed a claim in November and it still has not been addressed.
"So we're feeling it personally as well," she said.
The council voted unanimously to send the letters and develop a resolution that will come before the council at its May 14 meeting,
"You can see, I'm a little steamed up," said Vinatieri. "I was reading this (report) and the more I looked at it, the more unhappy I got. "
"Let's get behind our veterans," he said.
Councilmen Fernando Dutra and Owen Newcomer agreed.
"Sometimes there's something you have to get heated up about," said Dutra. "Let's all get involved. Let's all do our part. "
The Obama administration has proposed a $152.7 billion budget for the VA for 2014, a 10.2 percent increase, according to the staff report. The increase is intended to expand access to health care and benefits, eliminate the disability claims backlog and end veterans homelessness. The budget would provide initiatives to reach the VA's goal of eliminating the claims backlog and processing all claims in 125 days by 2015.

Bibi Will Fail, Like Other PMs Who Evicted Jews: Begin, Sharon, Olmert (JEWISH PRESS OP-ED) By: David Wilder 04/05/12)

JEWISH PRESS Articles-Index-Top
I had just wrapped up a pleasant visit with my good friend Jack from the US. As he pulled away, the beeper beeped, with something of a blood-chilling message: Police have broken into Machpelah House and are expelling its residents.
Over the past few days, a number of important politicians had visited Machpelah House, including Ministers Yuli Edelstein, Yisrael Katz, Moshe Kachlon, Deputy Minister Gila Gamliel, and MKs Uri Ariel and Tzippy Hotoveli. And there may be others that Ive forgotten.
When Barak insisted on expelling the families from the building, others, including Gideon Saar and Limur Livnat, protested publicly.
Last night, as we were conducting a small dedication in Machpelah House, Bibi was meeting with a group of ministers to discuss the crisis. Unofficial results consisted of no decision yet and no change in status, at least until of end of April.
So when the storm-troopers crashed the party early Wednesday afternoon, very few people were home. Most were at their other homes, getting ready for Passover. It only took a few minutes for the hundreds of police, border police, soldiers and riot squad to round up a few women and kids, and see them to the door. Quiet, peaceful, almost pastoral. Almost. But not quite. Watching a group of about twenty Border-police women surrounding and escorting a young woman with her two very small children isnt really tranquility-in- action. Actually, its rather sickening.
So what happened? Yesterday Bibi said that wed have some time to prove our case. And today?
It seems that our Prime Minister, as we get close to the holiday celebrating our exodus from Egypt, decided to dress up as the Pharaoh and to assist with another exodus. This one from Hebron. Of course, his original great great granddaddy tried to keep us in Egypt. His great great grandson, the new version of the Pharaoh, is doing the opposite, which is, expelling us from our homes, our property, our land.
Good ol Bibi is the same Prime Minister whose actions took Hebron into Hell. The decision to split the city, leaving most of Hebron with Arafat, including the hills surrounding the Jewish community, led to massive gunfire directed at us for two and a half years. Leading to the killing of Shalhevet Pass, and to the injuring of others, physically and otherwise. Bibi promised us wed be safe. He lied.
In the government decision of January, 1997, Bibi promised to assist Hebron, building and developing its Jewish community. He lied.
A day ago, Bibi promised that Machpelah House residents would have a chance to prove that they really own the building. He lied.
A true Pharaoh at heart.
Bibis coalition is fairly right-wing. The people in his cabinet certainly lean right. Likuds MKs, for the most part, certainly lean right. His coalition partners certainly lean right.
Except for one: Ehud Barak. Barak is, for all intents and purposes, partyless. He left Labor, and doesnt have a spot in the polls. Hes a nothing, a political nobody. Yet he is Defense Minister of the State of Israel, and as such, wields tremendous authority. So much so that his lone opinion outweighs that of Netanyahus party, MKs, Ministers and coalition. So if Ehud says , Bibi does.
What a mighty, powerful Pharaoh!
Its clear that this is not an isolated incident. It fits, handin- hand, with Baraks plans to expel Jews from Migron, Beit El, and who knows where else. This is just the beginning of the rolling of the snowball, whose true goal is the deletion of all Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria.
Other Prime Ministers have expelled Jews from their homes: Menachem Begin, Ariel Sharon, Ehud Olmert. What happened to them?
Thats where Pharaoh Bibi is headed. In the same direction. He will fizzle and fail. And Machpelah House, as ensconced in the name (Machpelah means double), will double, triple and quadruple itself, many times over.
Guaranteed! (© 2012 JewishPress. 04/05/12)

text: Well hopefully it all works out for the both of us however far we each take our business. I may not be the seasoned pro you are but I feel my 9-10 years of maintenance experience helps. I have many people that stop and give me compliments on the yards I maintain but end up hiring the cheap guy so the referrals have been slow but the couple I get every year helps for me and where I am at with this. The funny thing is I am always thinking I don't charge enough but still get beat out. It just makes me laugh now at how bad it is. No one that I currently have has left me for some other business so I havent had that enjoyment of them coming back because someone screwed up sooo bad. Well enough crabbing, good luck to you and maybe I'll run into you if I can get back to the southtowns.

Concepts and Approaches to Institutional
Heba El-Shazli
The Learning Organization
There is a simple exercise called the Hidden Triangle which is often used in training sessions: it shows a diagram consisting of a number of intertwined triangles and the participants are asked to guess how many there are. Usually, the answers lie within a wide range of numbers. The meaning of this exercise is to discourage people from jumping to early conclusions. Whenever looking at a situation or a problem, one should take the time to conduct a careful analysis before making a decision. The same exercise shows that when people work in groups they are more likely to come up with the right answer, because they need to consult with each other and agree on a number. It is the same situation with a problem; one person alone might get caught up in details and get confused, whereas working together with others will lead to the integration of different perspectives and ultimately, a solution.
The term learning organization is taken from a book entitled The Fifth Discipline - The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization, which introduces a quite interesting concept by looking at an organization as a learning organization. The underlying idea is that people can continually expand their capacity in organizations that nurture new and expansive thinking and collective action, i.e., one is constantly learning as a body (organization), not as an individual. This joint learning process also extends to the ways and means of working together, as a team, towards accomplishing a common goal.
This concept of a learning organization is called Metanoia, a Greek word that means shift of mind (meta = above or beyond, noia = mind) and usually refers to a fundamental change. In a learning organization this shift of mind implies a different way of looking at situations. Learning processes are often accompanied or followed by a change in values, thoughts, and perspectives, because learning creates new ideas and allows things to appear in another light. When learning something whether as an individual or an organization one usually applies it to his own situation and, consequently, changes accordingly. For a learning organization this basically means to continually expand its capacity in a future-oriented manner, i.e., by looking for new answers and ways of performing and operating, guided by the overall objective of the organization.
Learning organizations are based on a system of thinking that helps in allowing the organization to prosper and grow. The four main elements are:
Personal Mastery
There are different concepts pertaining to personal mastery but they have two elements in common: reason and intuition. The integration of these two elements is the basis of personal mastery. One cannot operate totally on reason or totally on intuition. Organizations do not operate in a vacuum, disconnected from the world, but within a society or certain community. Personal mastery means fostering the compassion and commitment that drive an organization, not for the sake of the organization alone but also for the sake of others. An NGO working on the environment, for example, is seriously and emotionally committed to protecting the environment.
Mental Models
A mental model is an image in ones mind; it is not necessarily articulated but it still affects a persons behavior and perception of the world and has an effect on how decisions are made. For example, a look at my passport shows an Egyptian name on an American passport - this forms a mental model, which is especially relevant in situations such as boarding a plane. A mental model can be developed by the mere name of an organization, a skin color, a political affiliation or any other feature that creates a certain stereotype.
Within a learning organization, people constantly deal with mental models and search for ways to get over or change them; for example, changing the communitys view of a certain issue or prevailing stereotypes could well be the goal of an organization.
Shared Vision
A shared vision is not an idea, such as freedom or liberty, but rather a force in peoples minds. It may be inspired by an idea or a belief but once it goes further and is compelling enough to acquire the support of more than one person, it changes from an abstract idea or belief into one that is shared. The story of Spartacus, who was the head of all slaves and led their rebellion against slavery, is a good example: when the rebels were surrounded by the Roman army and the Romans, who were searching for Spartacus, asked everyone "Are you Spartacus?" all the slaves said yes because they shared his vision of liberty and freedom and, thus, embodied the image of Spartacus.
A learning organization has to be clear about what it wants, i.e., what its objectives are. From there it will derive its vision, shared by all those involved in the organization. NGOs usually stand for a particular cause, which makes working in them more than just a job; if employees have a shared vision in which they truly believe, they are more dedicated, committed, and passionate about what they do and where their organization is heading.
A shared vision is very important for a learning organization because it means bringing everyone together to learn and progress as one body. A shared vision fosters risk-taking and experimentation among the employees because they know that they are not working alone and with sole responsibility toward a particular goal.
In order to build a shared vision among a group of people, all of whom have their own ideas, their personal views must be heard, discussed and combined into one vision that is agreed upon and shared by everyone. The starting point is the objective an organization wants to accomplish, which is also the reason and justification for its initial establishment.
Team Learning
Working in teams is a very important concept and part of the learning organization. Team learning is a process of aligning and developing the capacity of a group in order to create the results its members truly desire. To be a team is simple, but to act and work as a team is not. Team learning builds on the discipline of developing a shared vision, on personal mastery, compassion, and so forth. The notion of a team implies that the members sacrifice their individuality for the end vision, i.e., to jointly achieve a common goal. A jazz band, for example, consists of musicians, all of whom are talented and play their instrument beautifully, but what really matters is that they know how to play together. It is the same with a team in a work place: it is the sum of the parts that counts. Employees might be extremely talented people, but if they are unable to work as a team because of their egos and personal ambitions, the talent is wasted. To work in a team means to leave the egos outside the door, which is particularly important in the Middle East where education, social status and titles bear a lot of weight. This is where good leadership is needed: the manager or leader should be able to inspire and guide the team. Leadership be it in an organization or in politics - comes from the people that are behind the leader and back what he stands for. The leader functions as the spokesperson for the people, while his ideas and support are always derived from the masses.
Team learning has the following three critical dimensions:
The last point refers to the fact that one often finds more than one team in an organization, working on different, sometimes overlapping, issues. This provides a good opportunity to learn from and coordinate with the other teams. Team learning also involves dealing effectively with the forces opposing productive dialogue and discussion in working teams.
There is an important distinction between dialogue and discussion that one should be aware of. Dialogue is a truly open, free flow of ideas, a brainstorming, where everybodys ideas are heard. Discussion is a kind of competition where one side tries to convince the other side of his point of view. The word dialogue stems from the Greek dialogos, which means a free-flowing of meaning through a group and the groups capacity to suspend assumption and to enter into joint thinking in order to discover insights not attainable by individuals. Discussion has its roots in percussion and concussion and literally means a heaving of ideas, back and forth. It is more of a win or take all competition. Thus, in teamwork people should dialogue rather than discuss. A decision, eventually, should be based on a dialogue and then made following discussion. A dialogue can lead to a very fruitful discussion.
Needs Assessment
When an organization is first established, a decision is made regarding the type of work or service to be provided. The first main step is to do a needs assessment, which is more of an investment than an expense because a good needs assessment of the situation at hand will, in the long run, save much money, time, and efforts. There are six basic steps in performing a needs assessment:
The main method used for gathering information is conducting a survey, be it in the form of face-to-face interviews, telephone interviews, or written questionnaires.
Another method of analysis or assessment is benchmarking, which is used in the corporate world to analyze a single organizational element for an entire organizations operation. For example, one may look at how the secretary answers the phone, and if she uses the proper etiquette, etc. First, the target unit or organization is analyzed and compared to examples of success in similar areas among other organizations. Then, methods for achieving the same results are developed. This method is also called discrepancy modeling, meaning that objectives are set in accordance with a discrepancy that has been found in a particular area.
There are three types of benchmarking:
When assessing an organizations needs, it is absolutely crucial to first clearly understand the current situation of the organization. Comparing oneself with others without having acquired this basic understanding can easily lead to a waste of resources and time. Once the problem areas have been identified, the easy, manageable ones should be tackled first. This leads to success and will set a good pace and a model for the more difficult tasks ahead.
Once an organization has done its needs assessment and written its mission statement, it needs to find the talent to help accomplish its goals. The next step is therefore the management and development of the human resource.
The Environment
The environment around an organization relates to many issues such as public relations, relations with donors, networking, and advocacy. Communication is a very important tool and there should be an open channel of communication with everyone related to the organization, be it members, clients, beneficiaries, funders, etc. Communication is a means of public relations and an important way to influence public opinion. There are many ways or techniques to get a particular message out to the community in order to inform it or prepare it for events where action is required (e.g., organizing strikes in the case of trade unions). Oral forms of communication include giving a speech or an interview, conversing with relevant actors or holding public debates. Written forms of communication include writing headlines and articles, publishing newsletters and press-releases, as well as the design and distribution of leaflets and posters for special events.
With regard to printed materials it is always important to identify the who, what, where, when and how and to include contact names, phone numbers and the date of release. The purpose should be immediately clear to the readers, i.e., the main idea or point should be right at the beginning. The text should be limited to the subject in question and cover only items that are directly related to the main theme. Furthermore, the text should follow a logical system, use concrete terms, and avoid extraneous words, too many supporting details, and long sentences that divert the reader from the message. The headline should attract the readers immediate attention, be simple in form, larger in size than the rest of the text, and clear in meaning.
A successful press strategy can mobilize public opinion and allow good work to be easily recognized; a properly prepared press release therefore can be very effective. It should be printed on official letterhead, indicate the release date, be precise and logical in content, easily understood and factual. Press releases should be widely distributed, be it via mail, fax, e-mail, or distribution at news conferences or any other event.

organic, gluten free and no high fructose corn syrup! These are pricey, but quality costs more. These are also a once-in-a-while special treat and not an every day lunchbox or after school snack splurge. They also get some in their Christmas stocking and Easter basket. They love the twisted rope shape.

Yesterday was a meeting of the Thorn clan: – My daughter & I, my Dad, my 'little bro' and his brood, my two half-siblings and their kids, plus associated partners. One thing that came up in conversation was a book that has now passed through a number of hands and across generations, but has been loved by all…
Amazingly, the actual book still exists and current custodians are my brother's girls – they went to retrieve it. What arrived was a volume with a faded and scribbled on lilac cover, no spine, and delaminating boards – it looked even
worse more loved than this copy on the right. Originally it would have looked more like the copy below with it's gaily coloured dust-jacket.
366 Goodnight Stories, illustrated by Esme Eve et al, was published by Paul Hamlyn in 1963 (reprinted '64). Our 'family' copy was given to me for my birthday in May 1965.Inside is an anthology of little stories and poems, for each day of the year. Some are no more than a single verse, other stories are a page long, afew of the poems are old classics from Lear, R L Stevenson et al.
There are two particularly charming features of this collection I want to tell you about though …
Firstly the illustrations – each day has a picture or two. The spreads alternate between four illustrators, all with different styles – sadly I couldn't tell you which is which. To the right is one of my favourites – bright and cheerful.
Secondly – the seasonality of the book is lovely. It is arranged starting with spring, so the first story is for March 21st. Many of the stories and poems relate to the seasons in the countryside, the weather, flora and fauna. See below for a typical late spring page, featuring more of my favourite illustrations.
In between the nature stories are many more – about toys, trains and cars, dolls and teddies, parties and celebrations. Interestingly, the story for the 29th of December was a cautionary tale 'Warning' about excess guzzling – pity the poor child who had that one on their birthday!
I hope the big pictures didn't take too long to load for you, but I had to share some of this wonderful book with you. It has been read by three of one generation to four of the next, and so far two of the following one. I wish I'd known it was still in the family when my daughter was a toddler – she'd have loved it too. I've vowed to return it to my nieces who, although they're now teenagers, are rather loath to let it go – they can guard it for me, or pass it on to the next younguns in the family perhaps, but I think I'll have to scan in a few more pages before handing it back!

→ Handlers
Description Edit
The OnReceiveDrag handler is called when the user has dragged an icon with the pointer and dropped it on this frame.
Arguments Edit
Note Edit
OnReceiveDrag doesn't tell you anything about what the user dropped on the frame, but you can use GetCursorInfo() to find out whether it was an item, spell, macro, or amount of money, and the specifics thereof. This works because there is still an icon on the cursor when this handler is called; the API doesn't automatically clear the cursor for you. Use ClearCursor() or the like if you want the icon to go away after the user drops it in your frame.
