CLEVELAND: Thirty-three thoughts for 33 victories this season following a 114-85 win against the Brooklyn Nets in the season finale…
1. Let's start with Kyrie Irving. He was asked again tonight about signing a max contract this summer (by my count the third time it has come up) and he again refused to say he would accept it. But he came closer than ever before.
2. "It's a big deal for me and my family if they do offer me that," he said. "It would be exciting and I'll make the best decision for me and my family. That's what it's going to boil down to for myself. I've been a part of this and I want to continue to be part of this."
3. I've said this at least 1,000 times, so let's go for 1,001: I have absolutely no idea what Irving will do this summer. None.
4. But I know the concept of getting him out of Cleveland has been very real since early in his second season. I also know there are those within the Cavs who question whether or not he's worth a max deal. Add it all up and … anything is possible this summer. Anything.
5. Irving could sign on for the full five years, he could ask for an opt-out after four or he could reject the deal outright. It would be a huge gamble to reject the deal entirely – no player on a rookie deal has ever done that.
6. Former Cavs GM Chris Grant had a strict belief of what a max contract meant: The full five years, no opt-out clauses. Anything less than a guaranteed five years wouldn't be considered a max.
7. But with Grant gone, the rules of engagement on the Cavaliers side may change. But that won't be known until the front office and coaching staff is sorted out. Ultimately, Dan Gilbert will have the final call on whether to give Irving an opt-out if that's what he desires.
8. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I think the Cavs have to at least explore the idea of trading Irving this summer. His sometimes pouty attitude has soured enough people, and there are enough people in the organization who question whether or not he's worth a max deal, that it makes sense to at least explore it.
9. I understand how ridiculous it sounds to trade a two-time All-Star (and All-Star MVP) who is still on his rookie contract. It also complicates trades, since most of the players they'd be targeting to get back make twice as much. But I'd have to think they could get quite a haul for Irving this summer and more importantly, teams start getting into problems with the cap when they start overpaying for guys.
10. And given his injury history, if you truly don't believe he's worthy of the max, I think it's dangerous to sign him to a max. Now if you think he's worth it, that's entirely different. But plenty of people in this organization have their doubts.
11. Now that I've mentioned his injury history, I also have to say he appeared in 71 games this season. Good on him. Sure, he still had a couple injuries pop up, but he needed to prove he can be durable and he did.
12. The way the Cavs finished this season should be enough to save Brown's job. Firing him would be a huge mistake. Teams can't continually reshuffle at the top and expect to have any success. And three coaches in three years, particularly for a team this young, isn't good for anyone.
13. Brown has a brilliant basketball mind. For whatever reason, he seemed to struggle this season connecting with these players. But it's quite remarkable he turned this into a top-12 defensive team in just one year. I don't think he's getting enough credit for that.
14. The Cavs were dead last in the league in defensive field-goal percentage last year. They ended this season 12th. That's a huge jump, particularly since the Cavs don't really have many individual defenders. Luol Deng is still pretty good and Matthew Dellavedova is tenacious. That's it.
15. The individual post defenders on this team are all below average. The perimeter guys have, at times, been a swinging gate. And Brown coaxed them into nearly a top 10 defense. That's remarkable.
16. The Cavs went 17-16 over the final nine weeks. That's nearly half the season of slightly-above .500 basketball – which is exactly what was expected of this team all along.
17. As Brown has hinted at multiple times recently and said again Wednesday, the start to this season simply left the Cavs buried in too big of a hole. They went 4-12 in November and 5-9 in December.
18. "I think the team in that locker room has a chance to be a playoff team and grow together, but I don't know if we're good enough to start (10-21) and think it'll be easy to make that ground up, especially with the inexperience we have in a lot of areas," Brown said. "Maybe we just weren't ready, but I'd like to take some of those games back so we wouldn't have been in as big a hole from January on."
19. Andrew Bynum's signing crippled the Cavs' progress. I hailed it at the time as a no-risk move, but ultimately it was probably the biggest reason why the Cavs started so slowly – and why they're out of the playoffs today.
20. But the creative structuring of that contract is also the vehicle that brought Luol Deng here for next to nothing. And Deng may not have produced the type of numbers expected, but he carried a much-needed veteran voice in the locker room that preached the same defensive message Brown was teaching.
21. Bynum, however, probably screwed up this team more than anyone thought possible. He wasn't practicing, which not only irritated some of the younger players, but made ingratiating him into the offense so difficult.
22. Brown was criticized for saying the early-season games sort of served as practice time, but he was right because Bynum's knees prevented him from actually practicing. So the only time Irving, Dion Waiters and the rest of them ever played with him was during games.
23. Bynum came here with a positive attitude and for a while was arguably the hardest worker on the team. But I've maintained all along when he returned to the floor and still had pain in his knees, he began to question if this was all worth it – particularly while playing for a team that was losing two out of three nights. And when his attitude turned, it turned fast.
24. By the way, I've spoken to a number of people who believe it's not a coincidence the Cavs finally started to play better when Bynum left. Similarly, a lot of people believe it's not a coincidence the Pacers crumbled once he arrived. Food for thought…
25. Back to the present.
26. "I'm proud of the guys and proud of the season," Brown said. "These guys have been pretty good for the last 2-3 months. I give them credit for it. I give them credit for trying to stick with it, trying to get better, trying to prove to themselves they can win in this league. I look at (this season) more as a positive except for those first two months. I wish I could take some of those games back."
27. This team still has its issues. I could see a path for all 15 of the guys on this team to not return next season. Of course, that's not going to happen. No NBA team will turn over its entire roster in one summer.
28. But the point remains that nothing is guaranteed at this point. Nothing is given. Everything is on the table and open for discussion. It's probably one of the more fascinating teams of this offseason.
29. This absolutely should be a playoff team. It is certainly one of the eight most talented in this pitiful Eastern Conference. And while it appears Washington, Charlotte and Toronto have passed them in the rebuilding cycle, I'd argue only the Raptors really passed them. And I'd also argue the Raptors don't have anyone nearly as talented as Irving.
30. The Wizards began their rebuild the year before the Cavs. The Bobcats, Cavs and Raptors all started at the same time. Steve Clifford did an amazing job with the Bobcats this season, but had it not been for that miserable start by the Cavs, they'd be in that same position. I'm not one to play the woulda, coulda, shoulda game, but I don't think the Cavs are that far behind where those other teams are. And I'm not sure the Raptors can hold on to this position going forward. We'll see.
31. What a season. It has been a brutal journey, but at the same time it has gone lightning quick. The Plain Dealer's Mary Schmitt-Boyer and I were reminiscing the other day about sitting in a coffee shop in Boston on the morning of Dec. 28. Everything worked out perfectly with our travel schedules, we just sat down for a cup of coffee a few hours before the game when she remarked at how well the day was going.
32. Not even 10 minutes later, the phone rang with news of Bynum's suspension. The rest of the season is a blur.
33. Thanks for coming back for these Final Thoughts morning after morning. I had no idea they'd take off and become as popular as they did this year. On many nights, I'd wished I'd never started it. It became difficult finding new material and new ideas, and some nights I gave up and went to bed, but I appreciate you coming back day after day. There is so much uncertainty regarding this team right now that it's bound to be a wild summer. Hold on tight and enjoy the ride. See you in October.

Ann is just parroting it and claiming it as if she was the first person to think this.
The fact that she support a flip flopping liberal like Mitt Romney tells you everything you need to know about Ann.
Yeah Ann choose a Socialist like Mitt Romney vs. the other more conservative Candidates. Why because he has an "R" by his name? He is still a Socialist! If you do that, then we have already lost the country.
Ah! The predictable Ann bashing.
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, "A man who is 80% my friend is not 20% my enemy". It seems like some Freepers require 100% agreement or the other person is evil incarnate.
As long as I am paraphrasing others, "The enemy of the Good is the Perfect". Voltaire? Franklin?

A Guide to Coding and Computational Thinking Across the Curriculum
- Introduction
- Curriculum structure K–12
- Definitions
- Developing coding and computational thinking skills
- Computational thinking in the K–10 curriculum
- Resources
Computational thinking is the thought processes involved in formulating a problem and expressing its solution(s) in such a way that a computer – human or machine – can effectively carry out.
Informally, computational thinking describes the mental activity in formulating a problem to admit a computational solution. The solution can be carried out by a human or machine. This latter point is important. First, humans compute. Second, people can learn computational thinking without a machine. Also, computational thinking is not just about problem solving, but also about problem formulation.1
The Digital Careers organisation says that students need experience and skills in computational thinking and computer programming (coding) to be successful in their future careers.2 The NSW syllabuses provide a range of opportunities to develop students' understanding of computational thinking and coding.
This guide draws out the areas where computational thinking can be applied within the existing NSW K–8 syllabuses. Like the syllabuses, it is organised into stages of learning and subdivided into learning areas, with suggested activities and links to online resources.
Not all resources and activities listed in this guide refer to coding explicitly, but they do aim to develop algorithmic and computational thinking skills to better enable students and teachers to reach a coding goal.
Curriculum structure K–12
NESA mandatory curriculum requirements provide all NSW students with the same guarantee in terms of access to learning opportunities.
Early Stage 1 | Stage 1 | Stage 2 | Stage 3 | Stage 4
All primary students engage in the K–6 key learning areas (KLAs):
- English
- Mathematics
- Science and Technology
- Creative Arts
- Physical Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE)
- Human Society and Its Environment (HSIE), including History and Geography.
This continues as students engage in learning from Years 7 to 12. Study in each of the 7–10 KLAs is mandatory for the award of the Record of School Achievement:
- English
- Mathematics
- Science
- Human Society and Its Environment
- Languages other than English
- Technology
- Creative Arts
- Personal Development, Health and Physical Education.
For the purposes of this guide, 'coding' refers to computer programming, where a 'high level' programming language is used to instruct a computer device to perform certain functions. High level languages are similar to spoken languages but have special commands that are understood by an interpreter (coder) to enable a computer's central processor to understand them.
Computational thinking
The term 'computational thinking' comes predominantly from the work of Jeannette Wing in recent years but stems from the early work of Seymour Papert, who himself was a student of Jean Piaget. Jeannette Wing defines computational thinking as 'the thought processes involved in formulating problems and their solutions so that the solutions are represented in a form that can be effectively carried out by an information-processing agent'. She uses the term 'computational thinking' to describe 'the mental activity in formulating a problem to admit a computational solution. The solution can be carried out by a human or machine, or more generally, by combinations of humans and machines'.3
The Centre for Computational Thinking at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh in the United States uses the following definitions:
- Computational thinking is a way of solving problems, designing systems, and understanding human behavior that draws on concepts fundamental to computer science …
- Computational thinking means creating and making use of different levels of abstraction, to understand and solve problems more effectively.
- Computational thinking means thinking algorithmically and with the ability to apply mathematical concepts such as induction to develop more efficient, fair, and secure solutions.
- Computational thinking means understanding the consequences of scale, not only for reasons of efficiency but also for economic and social reasons.4
Algorithmic thinking
An algorithm is a set of rules that tells you what to do in a given set of circumstances, for instance 'If the traffic light is red, I stop'. Creating an algorithm simplifies decision-making and increases the efficiency of a procedure. 'Algorithmic thinking' is the ability to think in terms of algorithms as a way of creating solutions.
Developing coding and computational thinking skills
Computing is ubiquitous, with application areas in virtually any field imaginable – from developing gene-sequencing algorithms, to designing methods for high frequency trading, creating computer-generated graphics and special effects, analyzing social data from internet communications, and creating embedded real-time systems for medical devices. In fact, according to the [US] National Science Foundation, '[K]nowledge of computer science and computer programming is becoming a necessary skill … in marketing, advertising, journalism, and the creative arts.' 5
Current approaches to the use of information and communication technology (ICT) and computing applications revolve around the concepts of CS + X: computing science plus whatever it is that you are passionate about or engaged with. IT systems are becoming more commonplace and all-pervasive, and the development of the Internet of Things and machine-to-machine communication standards will further our reliance on them.
In response to the need for a higher level of literacy around computer programming (coding) that this will create, the Federal Government has initiated an increased focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and on innovation in Australian schools. This will aim to provide students with the coding and computational thinking skills that will be essential for their future careers.
The 2015 report by Deloitte Access Economics for the Australian Computer Society makes clear the future need for STEM-capable workers: 'Demand for ICT workers in Australia is forecast to increase by 100,000 workers over six years, from around 600,000 workers in 2014 to more than 700,000 workers in 2020.' 6
Academic work supports the inclusion of algorithmic and computational thinking in schooling. It is becoming more common in world curricula to teach coding, with examples in the United States, the United Kingdom and Finland. The recently developed National Curriculum in England includes Computing, which includes coding. This supports STEM initiatives currently emerging in developed nations where the manufacturing economy is being elevated to that of the service economy and ICT is being used and embedded in all careers and in all aspects of life.
Where reference is made to 'visual programming' this is to mean that the programming interface used by students is of a visual or graphical rather than textual nature. Updated lists can be found at Wikipedia and a summary is provided here:
- AgentCubes
- Alice
- App Inventor for Android
- GameMaker: Studio
- GameSalad
- Kodu Game Lab
- Scratch and ScratchJr
- ToonTalk
- Visual Logic
Where reference is made to a 'non-visual programming language' this refers to the interface being text based. This is generally considered more difficult, as the level of abstraction is higher than for visual languages. There are many languages that are used in education. A list is available at Wikipedia and a summary is provided here:
- BASIC including QuiteBASIC, Small Basic, FreeBASIC, QB64
- NetBeans (Java)
- Pascal
- Python
- Ruby
- Squeak
Software that enables students to interface with the outside world via the Internet of Things includes:
Additionally, hardware devices include; Intel Edison, Intel Galileo, Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, BeagleBone, Makey Makey, littleBits, Arduino, Micromite, Intellecta and a growing list of other providers.

This coding across the curriculum document is provided to assist teachers to engage with computational thinking at a level comfortable for them and in their own context.
All links were active in October 2015.
The NSW Technology curriculum has a long history of embedding design thinking into syllabuses, giving students opportunities to 'think outside the box', be innovative, learn to fail in a process leading to success, and develop the skill to forestall final answers and solutions so that better solutions may be found. These are fundamental concepts in technology and engineering education, design and technology education, and STEM education, and they underpin the skills necessary for computational thinking.
This guide shows how the existing NSW syllabuses can be used to develop computational thinking across the curriculum.
Computational thinking in the K–10 curriculum
The K–10 curriculum documents refer to Working Mathematically, Working Scientifically, Working Technologically, historical inquiry, geographical inquiry skills, problem-solving, critical thinking and design processes. These thinking processes are analogous to computational thinking and develop students' abilities to think abstractly – a key aspect of computational thinking.
The English syllabus allows teachers to develop integrated units of work that may emphasise areas of focus, such as computational thinking, and its application in the real world. The support document Suggested texts for the English K–10 Syllabus provides examples of texts that require computational thinking, for example encouraging analysis of the content and layout of a text, and providing opportunities for problem-solving and abstraction from a given situation.
The Mathematics K–10 Syllabus includes many opportunities for applying mathematical concepts in computational thinking. Applied mathematics problems are the best way to integrate computational thinking as they enable students to experience and visualise mathematical concepts and see a practical application. Examples include:
- Stage 2: Two-Dimensional Space 1 and Position 1
Using coding software, manipulate and draw 2D shapes including special quadrilaterals. When programming the movement of the cursor using programs such as Pencil Code, this exercise includes elements of Position 1 for directions and distance between points.
- Stage 1: Multiplication and Division 2
Explore the use of repeated addition to count in practical situations, eg create an algorithm (procedure) to count the number of people in a room using simple algebra. See the YouTube clip What's an algorithm? by David J Malan, which uses this example to demonstrate the nature of algorithms, explaining that 'Algorithms are a set of instructions to solve a problem'.
Science and Technology
Computational thinking is a major part of the Science K–10 (incorporating Science and Technology K–6) Syllabus and is seen in the use of applied problem-solving and construction. Designing, making, data collection and analysis are incorporated into the skills categories Working Scientifically and Working Technologically. After researching a problem, students should be given an opportunity to explore concepts by applying knowledge in experiments and designing models through personal and collaborative inquiry.
Creative Arts
Computer coding can be used in the creative arts to design and develop artworks and program devices to create artistic works.
Physical Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE)
Computer applications are now commonplace in health, sport and physical development. Tracking physical activity and health status is a growing field.
Human Society and Its Environment (HSIE), including History and Geography
The ability to 'step back in time' with virtual or augmented reality combined with GPS tracking is available to those with a smart device.
GPS, mapping technologies and the interconnectedness of devices make geographical study more engaging for students.
The collection and analysis of data in historical and geographical contexts provides opportunities for students to engage in digital technologies.
Languages (mandatory)
Solving problems, understanding and reproducing language systems, and understanding human behaviour in a global context are essential elements of language programs. In Language classrooms students learn to decode and code language systems. Research suggests that even a brief exposure to a languages program fosters flexible cognitive processing, divergent thinking and intercultural awareness. The use of translation software can illustrate algorithmic thinking, as can the development of speech to speech translation systems.

Skip to comments.Stray cat befriends lynx after sneaking into its zoo enclosure [video]
Posted on 06/23/2014 12:29:16 AM PDT by Slings and Arrows
This video is so adorable Im surprised every server in the western world hasnt crashed since it was uploaded.
Its a lynx befriending a domestic cat in a YouTube clip! Its like something the Illuminati would come up with during a brainstorming session about SEO.
Apparently, the stray cat made its way into the zoo in St Petersburg, Russia, and wandered into the lynxs enclosure.
The new pals then started grooming each other in a show of feline solidarity and relentless human fawning.
This must be that famous calico cattitude that I've heard about.
Wow, at the brainstorming session what else was discussed by the way?
Cat videos are one of the few growth sectors for the world economy.
Aaaaahhh . . . . . Late night Freeping, always the bestest kitty videos.
We're always angry. But, this is a wonderful age. Every day we see Youtubes of wonders that we never thought possible. These will be remembered long after the things we argue about are forgotten.
Will not!
Everything's funnier with sleep deprivation!
is it just me or is that house-cat kind of fat?
He's just big-boned.
Ok. First of all, Slings, Thou must submit video to the folks at Cheezeburger.
Second, if it involves the Illumuminuti, Giorgio must be notified. Perhaps the lynx in question comes from Caturn? If only Art Bell was still on the air, That man loved cats, he use to show his kitties off when he did his live csm shows. He'd get to the bottom of this.
Seriously, way cute and happy. Now at 5 am I'm going to have really sweet kitty dreams.
I dub that cat Cartman!
Cartman's cat, Mr. Kitty.
I don't know if it likes cheesy poofs.
He's fluffy.
Absolutely adorable, Slings. Thanks for starting my Monday off with a smile.

Let's be straight.
Video marketing is HARD.
Yes, even when you've got a tool like Viddyoze.
You're going into competition with people who have a lot of experience. They know all the tricks and the strategies.
That's why we want to make this absolutely clear…
That's why after the very first Viddyoze launch, we ran 3 pure-content Masterclass Events, open only to Viddyoze customers.
These sessions were designed to give your business a MASSIVE kickstart. Letting you completely skip the learning curve.
They contained everything we'd learned from our combined 13 years of business experience.

Not everyone took us up on the offer.
But those that did became some of our most successful users...

You'll hear from, not one hyper-successful marketer... but three.

Here's what you'll discover in each masterclass session:

How to make a quick-killing in the offline world, even if you have no intention of staying there and just need a quick cash injection for your online biz.
A "see for yourself" real life demonstration of our own results of using video… (and how you can mimic our success just by soaking up the master class sessions).
Even more deep-insider secrets—including results, strategies and what's banking big in the offline world.
The single most important part of any sales video (as far as we know no sales video in the history of mankind has been successful without this one critical item).
The 5 little known video persuasion secrets that can turn even bumbling, muttering-stuttering, camera shy, wallflowers into selling dynamos overnight.
Discover why "simple" is your new best friend...
How to leverage free (or low cost) resources and produce high quality videos that your friends will swear blind have been created in a studio.
When and why you should NEVER use tools like Explaindio and VideoMakerFX (Avoiding these common mistakes, made by even experienced video marketers, will put you ahead of the competition...)
The BEST time to use products like Explaindio and VideoMakerFX for maximum attention, engagement and conversions.

The 3 incredibly easy ways to find leads in the offline world. (Once you know where to look they're everywhere... and they all NEED video.)
The "Mute's Paradise" — A 100% hype-free way to sell to any business you choose - without ever having to 'speak' to anyone.
The "Santa Technique" - the counter-intuitive way to make bags of sales by giving stuff away for free... (Warning: this isn't some hokey internet marketing 'tactic'... but a proven client magnet that makes you more popular than Christmas).
How much to charge (Hint: It's probably waaaay more than the number you have in your head right now).
The fool-proof "just-put-one-foot-in-front-of-the-other" method to create an overnight business selling Viddyoze animations.
PLUS, a detailed case study on how to partner with videographers and create easy 4 and 5 figure pay days - with little-to-no work on your part...

SK Tech is an IT service provider.
Not sure I follow your question, but if the printer LED says it is online yet it wont print, have you checked the print spooler is running?
Is the printer USB or networked? If it is the latter can you ping it?

In 2001, they opened Ricardo's Mediterranean Kitchen. Building on Ricardo's Italian heritage, many of the dishes are inspired by Ricardo's own mother's recipes. In 2006, Ricardo's parents Giuseppe and Concetta moved to the Okanagan and have been involved with the restaurant's daily operations ever since. Ricardo's father grows much of the fresh produce and his mother helps perfect the traditional Italian flavors for many of the dishes. A true family establishment, three out of Ricardo's four children also work in the restaurant.
Ricardo's lifelong commitment to the hospitality industry and strong Italian roots, has earned him multiple restaurant awards including "Best Restaurant", "Best Service" and "Best Italian" from multiple publications.

Shatter Matter
Early in the morning of Sunday, May 19, a 48-year-old male cabbie was preparing to leave off a passenger on 80th Street. The cabbie put his taxi in reverse and accidentally struck the front bumper of another driver's vehicle, causing the other driver to get angry. The driver of the other vehicle approached the cabbie and tried to open the passenger-side front door of the cab. The cabbie locked his doors, and the other driver ? angry that he was unable to enter the cab - hit the front right windshield of the taxi with his fist, shattering the windshield. The mad motorist then took off in his vehicle, heading eastbound on 80th Street. Fortunately, there were no injuries to the cabbie or his passenger. Still, the hack may need a better backup plan.

A really nice collection. But I see that the original post was published more than two years ago. Was there are any update for this elsewhere on the page?
I do like the way you have framed this particular concern and it does indeed offer me a lot of fodder for thought. Nonetheless, because of everything that I have observed, I simply just trust as the comments pile on that individuals remain on point and in no way start on a soap box associated with some other news of the day. All the same, thank you for this superb point and even though I do not really go along with this in totality, I regard your point of view.
I perform tons of number gathering for these types of games because I think that the past will usually give us an idea of what can happen in the future. As you know it may be impossible to figure out the winning team in professional football. This is why I recommend using statistics for football.
So great to see some genuine content on the web because i've been finding lots of badly written content lately, right until i came across this one of course. keep up the good work.
Are Smaller Breweries Nonetheless Successful?

UDR Inc.'s UDR, +0.25% second-quarter profit surged as the real-estate investment trust saw income from its discontinued operations soar, although funds from operations climbed more moderately.
Analysts have been concerned about the high prices UDR has been paying for properties in New York and Washington. Earlier this month, Dow Jones reported UDR is pushing forward with its plan to build up its portfolio in those cities while jettisoning properties in markets where it doesn't want to expand, despite the concerns.
The company has a higher level of debt than some of its peers, which it has been working to reduce. UDR has sold more than $600 million in property this year and in May issued about $540 million in new stock. Robert W. Baird & Co. earlier this month estimated total debt after the stock offering and asset sales at $3.44 billion.
UDR reported a profit of $150.4 million, or 62 cents a share, as compared with $14.7 million, or six cents a share a year ago. Income from discontinued operations climbed to $179.4 million from $49 million a year ago.
Funds from operations--a key performance metric for REITS--were up at 33 cents from 31 cents. Core FFO--which excludes all nonrecurring items--was 32 cents last year. Rental income increased 18% to $177.5 million.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters most recently forecast FFO of 33 cents on rental income of $183 million.
Same-store revenue grew 5.6% while the occupancy rate was flat at 95.8%.
Shares of UDR, which backed its full-year guidance, closed at $26.93 Friday and were inactive premarket. The stock is up 7.3% so far this year.

Guidelines For Managing Records of the Annual Conference and Local Church
This manual is for local church history and records committees and for the annual conference commission on archives and history, because these are the groups responsible for the creation of arecords management program for the local church and annual conference. This manual is also for the local church historian and the conference archivist; often the ones who must implement these plansand perhaps even assist in designing them.
This is a manual of examples and ideas. It is not meant to provide an exhaustive or comprehensive records management plan; that only can be done at the local level. The intention is to provide enough material and ideas, and some examples, to assist in starting a records management program for the your local church or annual conference. Some of the ideas mentioned here can be used directly in a local program, while others just offer a place to begin.

Like most Texans, I'm proud to sing our State song and proudly respond "Texas" when asked where I'm from on foreign travels. But with two kiddos under six now in tow, my trips normally consist of the grocery store and the carpool lane. So for a "getaway," our family took a daycation to explore some of Fort Worth's greatest landmarks and give our kids a real understanding of what is the "City of Cowboys & Culture" – in just eight hours.
Pony Up for the Fort Worth Stockyards
Always ready to chow down on anything cooked on a grill, we found a bench at Cooper's Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que. Since you start the experience by ordering straight from the hot pit of all things juicy meat from brisket, sausage & smoked promise ribs, select your other fixins', then belly up to a community bench with butcher paper plates, this #1 rated BBQ joint is ideal for families who don't want to worry about keeping your elbows on the table. We did a little bench toe-touching Waylon Jennings over the sound system while licking our fingers as we bit into the beef ribs, sausage and of course, the jalapeno mac n cheese. After washing down our first taste of Fort Worth with the obligatory sweet tea, we took off to walk off our smorgasbord and let the kids just be kids with a walk in the Fort Worth Stockyards.
It's always a requirement for anyone who travels to Fort Worth, and this time it was fun to point out all the activity happening like horses in the stalls, cowboy stagecoaches to ride, and our favorite, the bull. For just a few dollars, the boy was able to mount an electric bull and ride it rodeo style. The kids began pointing out all kinds of fun things to do including checking out the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, racing through the Cowtown Cattlepen Maze, and taking old timey family photo at Uncle Charlie's. Mom and dad also eyed a few activities for our own bucket list like staying for a night at the Stockyards Hotel and for a dinner at the award-winning Lonesome Dove Western Bistro.
And while we could have made an entire weekend of just checking out the history, heritage and fun of the Stockyards including the free, daily cattle drive through the Stockyards (11:30 a.m. & 4 p.m.), we rounded up our little pokes and ponied up for our next Fort Worth adventure - into culture.
Explore the world at the Fort Worth Museum of Science & History
Fort Worth may be known as "where the west begins," but as the home of many world-renowned museums, it's also an epicenter for learning where we've been, how we've gotten there and, of course, where we are going. No adventure to Fort Worth with kiddos in tow is complete without a stop at the Fort Worth Museum of Science & History.
We found ourselves in The Children's Museum play area designed for kids - ages birth to 8 - to put their imagination to work with everyday activities: grocery shopping, water works, playing doctor and looking at snakes. While we could have spent the whole afternoon enjoying make-believe and building blocks, we couldn't help but see the huge DinoLabs and DinoDigs exhibit where you can "dig" up fossils. After a trip to the most amazing gift store and a quick slide down the dinosaurs tail, we begrudgingly left the museum to hit a few more stops before the end of the day.
With such a fun day upon us, a cool treat at Sweet Sammie's was a must. Nestled inside the West 7th development, a short walk or drive from the Museum, families can get their cookies and ice cream fix at this locally owned sweet shop to build the perfect ice cream sandwich.
Kid-Friendly Museums Not-to-Miss
- Amon Carter Museum of American Art
- American Airlines C.R. Smith Museum
- National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame

Downtown Living in Sundance Square
Sundance Square is the heart of Downtown Fort Worth with 35-blocks of entertainment, restaurants, and more. At the center of the district is a ground fountain that invites kids (and adults alike) to cool down in the summertime by dancing in the water under the blue skies from 2-6 p.m. only. Swimsuits not allowed. The tables and restaurants line the perimeter, inviting you to sit down and stay awhile.

Maybe someone could help me identify this wooden typeface. I wonder if there is a digital version of it.
Thank you,
I don't have a specific ID for that, but, according to the Rob Roy Kelly book (American Wood Types), that general style was known as Concave Tuscan. Also, a lot of wood types didn't actually have names, only numbers.
Nick Curtis has a selection of wooden types at http://www.nicksfonts.com/, but none are very close to your sample. I also looked through the Solotype Catalog, to at least find a name, but this typeface only resembles a few types that were all upper case and more elongated. The other problem is that not much of the Solotype collection was digitized. The rights to the collection now belongs to Castcraft, so they claim.
Donald, Unfortunately I didn't see an exact match for this in the Solotype book. Castcraft site starts at http://www.castcraft-software.com/. It may take some hunting to find the information that they acquired the rights to Solotype. I have heard that inquiries to them may never be answered, so I can't give you a very positive feeling about dealing with them. Frankly, I think you would be best off just searching for Wood types, Tuscan types or Western types and seeing what is available. The closest resemblance to this I know is a font from the old FontBank colelction called Old West. It is an open face style, but I think it could be called concave tuscan too. You can see and buy it here.
You might check Woodentype Fonts too, if the site ever comes back
online. I visited it just last week; hopefully it will return. The fellow had
several Tuscans, although I don't recall if any matched your sample
Take a look at the wood-and-and metal type prints and posters done by Chris Stern of Grey Spider Press.
He works with wife Jules Faye, where they print in an old barn in Northern Washington state.
Chris has taken wood type broadsheets in a completely different and exciting direction. Every typopgrapher needs one of these sheets on the studio wall. (and I get three cents for every one I sell)

Chueca is a neighborhood in Madrid. It is located just to the north of the downtown core and old city, centered around the Plaza de Chueca and Chueca metro station. It is well known as the main gay village of Madrid.
A decade ago it was a dangerous area where drugs and male prostitution were rampant. However, Madrid's increasingly growing and affluent gay community has made Chueca one of the most fashionable and cosmopolitan areas of Madrid. During the day the majority of activity is concentrated in the numerous shops and boutiques of both international and independent designers, and the chic cafés. At night, the area is known for its innovative restaurants, bars, and clubs. In addition to this, there are other businesses oriented to the gay community such as travel agencies, lawyers and video stores.
It has become a popular spot for people of all types, not solely gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders. Madrid's gay and lesbian community stages a large pride festival each year, drawing revellers from all across Spain. This celebration has gone far beyond its gay-lesbian roots and is now one of the biggest festivals in the annual calendar, for gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders and straight people, with well over a million people on the streets.

Elegance in historic surroundings
Chris Shaw's and Colin Varndell's latest garden visit has taken them to Cranborne Manor
Published in July '09
Cranborne Manor was originally one of many hunting lodges used by King John in his pursuit of game on Cranborne Chase. Early in the 17th century it was granted by King James I to Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, when work was put in hand to add much of what can be seen today. It remains a delightful small manor house, centred beautifully in its gardens. The adjacent garden centre has gained a reputation for roses which have been used extensively in the various planting schemes that surround the Manor.
A circular tour leads from the garden centre through the walled Kitchen Garden and then into the main Manor Garden. Only a step away from the bustle of commercial activity, you enter the green calm of wide open spaces, beautiful trees and orchids among wild flowers. Druid, a mighty bronze bull, stands in the meadow facing the house. Sculpted by Nicola Toms in 2003, he is a tribute to White Park cattle, the most ancient breed, one of which was knighted 'Sir Loin of Beef' by James I in 1617. The adjacent beech avenue provides vehicular access to the house, leading through brick gatehouses with wisteria and clematis scrambling up the walls and two stone elephants shouldering tree paeonies aside as you enter.
A circular drive of old stone and brick surrounds a pond with a stunning water feature, a metal waterlily-like sculpture that opens and closes with the build-up of water along its leaves. Seats are tucked in against the walls, where wide herbaceous borders are packed with colour. Philadelphus and lily-of-the-valley, hebe and buddleia, perovskia and agapanthus, all flourish in the warm shelter of the old walls. A Magnolia grandiflora on the house adds a touch of formality, but pots of lilies and huge containers of daisies, pelargoniums and sweet peas keep the theme intimate, entirely in keeping with the pretty porch with its Jacobean decoration and dainty niches. A deep blue hibiscus mixes well with rose-pink climbing pea. This private garden is not always open, but it would be a pity to miss it.
Just beyond the courtyard is the Lump Garden, with balls, domes and geometric shapes of clipped box and yew, a formal contrast to the park trees and immaculate croquet lawn adjacent. The lawn is hedged with clipped yew and buttresses in a no-nonsense style. On the far side of the lawn, through the hedge, is the Sundial Garden, which is believed to have been laid out by John Tradescant. The sundial tops a small mound which gives a good overview of the eight surrounding beds, all enclosed by clipped box. The inner beds are filled with Lavender 'Hidcote'. The four corner beds are much larger and contain herbaceous plants such as palest pink sidalcea and Clematis heracleifolia, some shrubs including roses, and rustic supports with clematis and ramblers. Clematis heracleifolia 'Wyevale' is eye-catching. This herbaceous clematis is often overlooked in favour of its climbing cousins but, left to rampage over a supporting low shrub, it gives a mass of colour over a long period. In my own garden it smothers a spreading cotoneaster for weeks on end.
A bowling allée to the north gives access to the Winterborne Garden. The yews that form this narrow space are some of the oldest in the garden, the allée being a frequent inclusion in Jacobean design. The winterborne – the River Crane, running along the garden boundary – is edged with large shrubs and trees. This is an altogether wilder area, the wind in the trees making it sound even in mid-summer as if the stream is in full spate. There are plenty of crab-apples, cherries and other flowering trees under-planted with daffodils for spring colour.
The White Garden, on the north face of the Manor, is one of the highlights and it is worth timing a visit to coincide with the flowers and perfume it contains. The path is edged with apple trees, trained as espaliers, with a carpet of white dianthus beneath. The borders are full of astrantia, phlox, choisya, potentillas, hibiscus and roses, all white or pale in colour. Clumps of variegated grasses provide interest after the main flowering season has finished, as do the tall stems of Macleaya cordata, the plume poppy, with its soft, grey-lobed leafs. The house terrace is balustraded in stone, a shadier part of the garden where huge hostas thrive. There is a wisteria grown as a compact tree, borrowing just a little support from the balustrade: a pretty idea for a smaller garden, perhaps?
To the east of the house lies the church, approached along Church Walk. In July it is vivid with coral penstemmons, agapanthus and white nicotiana following a spring planting of forget-me-nots, wallflowers and sweet williams. Halfway along the walk an apple tunnel leads off at a right-angle, under-planted with giant Allium christophii which looks so much like a burst of spangled fireworks. On the far wall, Victoria plum trees bear masses of fruit and there are brick-edged beds of dianthus and roses. As the path turns beneath a pergola along the churchyard wall, there is a beautiful collection of roses to enjoy: 'Étoile d'Hollande', 'Guinée', moschata, 'Bleu magenta', 'Seagull' – all climb and scramble above iris and hellebores.
There is also a Pergola Walk running parallel to Church Walk, with a very pretty stone-in-cobble path edged with Iris 'Jane Phillips' and Verbena venosa. I was interested to see how closely the climbing roses are tied in to train them over the supports. Soft string ties bind them securely about every six inches. I went home determined to do better on my own pergola, where R. 'Paul's Himalayan Musk' gets the better of me every year. This was a classic case of buying what I liked instead of what was most suitable for the position. It is a rambler as opposed to a climber and really needs a thirty-feet-high tree! However, it is a mistake I live with for the pleasure of its massed pink cherry-like flowers every June.
The Green Garden, Chalk Walk and Cottage Garden are interconnected and lead back to the exit. The first, as its name implies, concentrates on foliage with a box parterre and beech hedges around a hexagonal pond. The broad borders and large beds of Chalk Walk are a return to herbaceous planting, an emphasis on yellow and blue with potentillas, Veronica austriaca and the taller Veronica longifolia. Large acanthus spreads impressive foliage beneath tall spires of pale pink and lilies are studded in between. I love the 'windows' in the yew hedge on the boundary of this garden, allowing just a glimpse beyond.
Cranborne Manor Garden is open every Wednesday from March to October. There is such a lot to see, so be prepared to spend at least half a day enjoying the surroundings. If the roses don't tempt you into the garden centre before you leave, nothing will!

Hello hounds. After visiting a friend with an ice cream maker this weekend, to put it mildly we are obsessed.
I know there have been a lot of postings on this topic, mostly this time of year in prior years, but I was wondering if anyone could point me specifically toward a maker that does not require any parts to be placed in the freezer prior to use. Due to limited freezer space, freezing a bowl isn't really feasible for me. I realize that this eliminates a number of the less expensive options in the marketplace and am willing to spend a little more to accomodate.
We would appreciate any suggestions / feedback any of you may have on this.
Thank you in advance.
