It seems to me that there are two schools of practice when it comes to loading a dishwasher. There are those, like Sarcasdad, who copiously rinse every dish before placing it inside the appliance. In my book this makes the dishWASHER more of a dish SANITIZER. Which is not a bad thing, but kind of defeats the purpose.
I rinse the dishes. Just not until they are squeaky clean. The exception being any bowl that was used to serve oatmeal or any oat based flake. Left on it's own, it takes on the properties of fast drying cement and requires a chisel to remove.
The other day I was loading up some plates when the CP came into the kitchen. He leaned in and said " Uh, Mom Mom, you may want to rinse that off some more."
Only 8, and already feeling the pull of the dark side.
Speaking of the CP, we may have to change his moniker to The Amazing CP. His every little boys' love of magic has developed into quite a passion, sparked in part by the opening of not one, but two, houses of magic in our city. We have taken in the Sunday family magic shows at both, and the CP has always managed to get on stage and assist in a trick. Both sell magic illusions and the CP is steadily adding to his repertoire. He and two friends did a magic act for the school talent show. It was just a few tricks, interspersed with a lot of slapstick. The boys executed the magic very well, and were a hit. They were also hams. When the scripted bit was done, they started improvising, showing no rush to give up the stage. If the teachers had a hook I think they would have used it. Instead the principal wisely stood up and began applauding. When the family went out for Easter brunch, the CP worked the table, showing great aunts and uncles his mastery of illusion. I think some of the other patrons were hoping he would come to their tables as well.
On his last trip to the magic shop he got a magic hat. Can't wait to see what he pulls out of it.

These Are All the Words
I found a Cinderella stamper in the leftover Easter merchandise at work. The top is a figurine of the Disney Princess, and the bottom is a stamp, that when inked makes the impression of a crown. I knew the ZM would love it. Unfortunately it did not come with an ink pad so we unearthed a set of stamps from the CP's stash of art supplies. There was just enough ink left on the pad to let the ZM embellish a few sheets of paper. We folded the paper to like greeting cards and the ZM dictated what she wanted printed on them. Some family members will be getting a nice surprise in their mailboxes !
When the inkwell truly ran dry she asked her Pop Pop if he could get her some pink ink. Of course he obliged and the ZM was back in production.
After dinner she brought me some of her pages and asked if we could fold them into a book. When the pages were ready the ZM told the story , and I did my best to write it all down. What emerged was a wonderful tale about a train. Se loves trains. I could not write fast enough to record every word. But every word I captured was hers. As each page was finished I read it back to her, to be sure she was satisfied. Because of the way I had folded the pages there were two blank ones in the front. The ZM found this unacceptable so we used one to record the date, and suggested that the other serve as a dedication page. The CP lobbied hard for a heartfelt and sincere homage to her big brother. Without hesitation she said "It is my book, and I dedicate it to me!"
The book, entitled The Train, would be an accomplishment for someone even older than the 3 years old she is. It is wonderful from the start, to my favorite part, the finish.
When she was all done telling the story, on the very last page, she told me to write "these are all the words"
Much more eloquent than "the end". Dontcha think?

A Little Tense
This is one of those little things, that I don't want to forget.
A conversation with the ZM(mostly) age 1 month shy of 3.
The CP(age 7 and 1/2): Mom Mom do you remember the sword I got on the Pirate Boat? It broke.
(me-that's a shame)
The ZM: Mom Mom, the thingy I got on the Pirate Boat didn't broke.
(me-that's good)
The ZM: I don't want it to broke.
(me-me either)
The ZM: It will probably broke eventually.

And Now, the Weather
Even though this blog is called Wednesdays Off, I am usually off on Sundays too. Sarcasdad is off on Wednesday as well, making it a real day off. Unless I've got something going on, I clean on Sunday. When Spring rolls around, I clean with a little extra effort, so when the triple H days of summer hit, I can slack off a bit. Anyone from this part of the country knows that those Hs stand for hazy, hot and humid. We are one of those homes without central air, by choice. Some days, when breathing is enough to make you sweat, and people insist on telling you that it is the humidity, not the heat that is the culprit, I question our sanity. But truly those days are only a few in a whole year. And we have survived this long, coming as we do from a generation where air conditioners were a luxury. We had huge window fans for those nights when sleeping was tough.
Anyway, I am glad I cleaned with gusto last week, because today is one of those too hot to exert yourself much days. I knew it would be. Today, is Star's birthday. She would have been 39. It is almost always a triple H day. The day she was born it hit 90. Her first birthday was celebrated with the whole extended family crowded in our first house, again without air conditioning and the thermometer hit 94. Year after year we anticipated the hot dry heat , and were rarely disappointed.
Since my chores are done for the day, I am going to take my Kindle, and sit under a tree in a park where we used to go to read on hazy hot and humid Sundays.

Once More, With Feeling
The first sentence always seems to be the hardest to write. And now that I have gotten that out of the way, on to why now, after all this time, even bother. I am not sure myself. I have not stopped composing posts. I blog in my head all the time. I am most prolific in the morning, with the best stuff emerging when I am brushing my teeth or as I am driving to work. If only those words actually made it to print. I am one heck of a writer in my head, if I say so myself.
My theory as to why I can string words together better at those times than , say, now, is that I am not distracted by other pursuits.Words with Friends, Draw Something, Pinterest, etc. While I am somewhat of an iPad addict, I do abstain while engaged in either of the aforementioned activities.
I remember how good it felt to get all the thoughts out of my head and onto the digital page. I miss that.
So here I go again. It's good to get the memories down. The other day I was telling Sarcas-sis how the ZoeMeister and her penchant for wearing dresses was reminiscent of her at the same age. The fact that she remembered none of that shouldn't have surprised me, as she was only 2 or 3 at the time. But it did. I have no idea if the ZM, the CP, or anyone for that matter will read any of this. But that's okay. I blog for me.
I had started, but never finished a post about an example between a grandson and a granddaughter. It was one of those men are from Mars/women are from Venus moments. Dinner was served. Whatever we were having was on the spicy side so there were hot dogs for the kids. I put one on the Cutie Patootie's plate. He looked at me with big puppy dog eyes raised under those long beautiful lashes and said in a little boy voice "Mom Mom. will you cut my hot dog?". The same seven year old who moments ago had been outside playing soccer, whose voice was echoing up and down the block enabling us to pinpoint his exact location at any moment, who just earned another belt in karate, needed me to cut his hot dog. I, being a sucker for puppy dog eyes and little boy voices, was happy to oblige.
Simultaneously, on the other side of the table, Sarcas-sis had put a hot dog on the ZM's plate, and as a the ZM is only 2, her mother started to cut it for her. The reaction was swift and immediate. The ZM balled up both fists, and in a voice that could be heard in a sawmill said "Noooooo! I do it myself!" . And she did, slicing the wiener with the dinner knife while her mom held it steady with a fork.
We have eaten together many times between then and now. Just last week , the CP asked me, again, if I would cut his meat. "Really? You need Mom Mom to cut your meat?" his mom asked. I let it be known I was glad to do it. Because someday he will stop asking, and I will miss him wanting me to. One of his parents, I can't remember which, very quietly said, "of course, he will be in college then"
In case you were wondering, in my absence, there has been no lack of sarcasm.

This One's for Me
I have lots of
reasons for not blogging. Time is a big one. I never seem to have any left over . At least not at the same time that I have the energy to string a sentence together. Facebook is another. Somewhat because it is sucking up some of the aforementioned time. I am a word game aficionado, as it turns out are many of my friends, and family. My word addiction is being sated through social networking. Mainly I think Facebook has superseded the need to blog, because it gives me an immediate outlet, and, I get immediate feedback.
Still, I miss this, sitting down to record some thoughts. Ones that I can save and recall at will. It occurred to me the other day , that the ZM is getting short shrift with this arrangement. She hasn't gotten near the post time that the CP had at her age. Not for lack of material mind you. She has provided me with plenty.
I am recording this memory for me. It made me smile when it happened and I am pretty sure that if I read through this post 10 years from now, it will make me smile again. If you get a smile out of it, that's a plus.
Sarcasdad suggested we take the CP and the ZM to the Jersey shore for a day trip, before our planned week long vacation. The CP has been , but this would be the ZM's first trip to the beach. At least then the ocean and the beach wouldn't be totally strange to her.
We had a great time, and the day went pretty much as expected. The ZM loved the big sandbox, and while not afraid of the ocean, didn't really seem to get the point of it. The CP was excited and wanted to do everything at once. With all the activity and new things to see, a nap was out of the question for the ZM, despite our efforts to convince her to lie down on the heat resistant blanket, inside the UVB filtering tent under the UVA blocking umbrella. When it was time to leave, she was beyond tired so taking her down to the water against her will to wash off the sand seemed inadvisable. I changed her into clean clothes in the car, but she still had sand stuck to her just about everywhere. We made good on a promise to get ice cream on the boardwalk before we left. The CP chose a superhero popsicle for himself, and a chocolate, vanilla & cherry Dora the Explorer on a stick for his sister. When they were done we cleaned them up as best we could with napkins and bottled water and headed home.
The ZM was asleep before we hit the causeway. "Mom Mom" the CP said, "isn't she cute?"
I turned in my seat to see him gazing at his little sister. Her head was leaning just slightly to the left, propped up by her car seat. Her blonde hair, wind blown, and full of sand was sticking up at odd angles. The faded trails of chocolate and cherry ice cream drips ran down her cheeks and chin. And, she was snoring. Pretty loudly.
Seriously, if the kid could find cute in that, then I pity the boys who will someday want to date his little sister.

Plaid is the New Khaki
The CP is intrigued by intrigue. He loves playing spies, and has amassed an impressive array of spy related gadgets. Such as binoculars that let you see behind you, and secret message writers and decoders. He has also been seen snooping through the house with a magnifying glass and a notebook looking for clues to a mystery he could be called on to solve.
The National Constitution Center in Philadelphia was offering an exhibit titled
Spies, Traitors and Saboteurs, Fear and Freedom in America.
They had the CP at "spy" and he asked repeatedly to go. Sarcasdad has a membership to the Center that allows us admission to all of the exhibits so we took him, even though we thought the content might be a little adult for a 6yr. old. As it turned out, there was enough to keep him interested as we walked through the exhibit. Some of the highlights for him were the FBI agents badge, which he claims to aspire to wearing one day; a pencil bomb; and, a piece of a police car found in the World Trade Center rubble.
To keep him engaged in the self guided exhibit, I tried to take the information presented and talk to him about it in 6 year old language.
Next to the glass encased pencil bomb was a display of French artillery shells. We talked about the big gun, "like a cannon" he said, that was used to fire them off. He looked at them for a while, touched them, and then asked a thoughtful question. "Mom Mom, do these come in other colors?"
It was hard not to laugh as I admitted that I did not know. In my head I pictured people huddled under cover, as artillery shells whizzed over there heads saying"oh look, a red one!". Admittedly, they did sort of look like a row a of crayola crayons when you open a new box and they all still have their unused sharpened points. Still, I wondered what he was thinking. What did he see when he looked at those man made weapons of destruction? Who knows ?
If the FBI agent gig doesn't come through perhaps he will channel his creative side. He could be an interior designer on a television show.
Like Trading Spaces
. Is that still on?
When it is time for the big reveal the family will return home to find their bedroom redone in early WWI, complete with a wall studded with ordinance, repainted a calming shade of blue.
I Googled. The show ended in 2008.

Wind Modeling in Fort Collins: CPP Wind
Named for the three scientists who pioneered wind modeling technology, CPP Wind is a forty-year old company in north Fort Collins that fills a specialty niche in the construction industry.
Drs. Cermak, Peterka and Peterson, all Colorado State University professors or grads, have taken wind engineering to new levels with their advanced systems of testing and modeling how wind will affect buildings and how wind affects pollutants in exhaust dispersion.
Recreating Wind
After touring their facility, one can see how important wind is to the construction of structures. CPP Wind has three wind tunnels and strive to replicate the physical environments of where their clients are buildingHong Kong, California, Australia, and more. While the tunnels look more like large Lego cities set up in complex terrain, there is advanced equipment taking detailed measurements of wind turbulence and pedestrian wind environments around each structure.
Wind and Indoor Air-Quality
A second business at CPP Wind is measuring how air exits buildings when it interacts with natural winddoes is go right back in the exhaust system? Is it blown into their neighbors intake fans? The outside of the building can impact indoor air-quality good to know when we spend so much time indoors.
CPP History
One of the first projects in CPP Winds portfolio, at that time known as Cermak Peterka and Associates, included the testing of the design for the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York City (1964). Since those early days, CPP Wind has branched out in many directionsthey have performed wind modeling for more than 2,000 projects including Invesco Field at Mile High, the Denver Art Museum, and the tallest residential tower in the world. Newer clients include wind modeling and engineering for solar photovoltaic arrays and wind farms.
Fort Collins is proud to be home to such an innovative company and the birthplace of this technology and industry.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I made the pants using a Civil War solider high-waisted pant pattern and the suspenders and shirt modified from store bought items. The gun was made from a resin model kit which I assembled and painted, and the coat is the official one from the show. My favorite part of the costume is the holster, which I made myself from a thick roll of cowhide and colored until I got the right shade. I learned a lot more about leather and metal working making this.
- Personal Thoughts:
- I'm a big fan of Firefly and Nathan Fillion in general, so when we decided to get a Firefly group together, I just had to choose the Captain. I even got to meet Jewel Staite (Kaylee) while dressed as Mal, and she called me Captain Tightpants. LOL

I dyed the ends of my hair purple yesterday. I had some Manic Panic dye left over from the summer. (When I got home from Sasquatch I put a streak in my hair but it washed out quickly)
The light in these photos is a bit misleading. My hair looks really blonde and really purple, but really in winter my hair turns a quite ashy blonde, and the purple looks kind of grey and blue in natural light and fluorescent light.

Garden History
History of the Garden
In 2005, Adeline Hall was demolished to provide an area where as many as three dozen residents are able to produce an urban garden.
The community garden located at 12th & Montgomery is on its sixth year of providing a space for residents to grow their own fruits, vegetables and even flowers. The goal of the garden is to put in place more sustainable practices and procedures that benefit the university and its residents. This spring marks the sixth year of a community garden on campus.

Motörhead is a British Heavy metal band formed in 1975 by Bassist, singer and songwriter Lemmy, who has remained the sole constant member. Usually a power trio, Motörhead had particular success in the early 1980s with several successful singles in the UK Top 40 chart. The albums Overkill, its follow on, Bomber, Ace of Spades, and particularly No Sleep 'til Hammersmith, cemented Motörhead's reputation as one of Britain's foremost heavy metal groups. More recent exposure has included providing wrestler Triple H's entrance music, performing live at WrestleMania events and in 2005 the band received their first Grammy.
While Motörhead are typically classified as heavy metal, speed metal, or thrash metal (and often regarded as a foundational influence on the latter two styles); Lemmy dislikes such labels, preferring to describe the band's music simply as "rock n' roll". Motörhead's approach has remained the same over the band's career, preferring to play what they enjoy and do best, their appreciation of early rock and roll is reflected in some of their occasional cover songs. Motörhead's lyrics typically cover such topics as war, good versus evil, abuse of power, promiscuous sex, substance abuse, and "life on the road." The band's distinctive fanged face logo, Snaggletooth, was created by artist Joe Petagno in 1977 for the cover of the Motörhead album and has appeared in many variations on covers of ensuing albums.

A Bill proposing tougher sentences for those who assault emergency service workers and more consistency in recording assaults could get top slot in Parliament's autumn debates. Rhondda MP Chris Bryant has put his choice of Bills to bring before MPs to a public vote, and his six options includes the Protect the Protectors Bill.
This is a significant step forward for our Protect The Protectors campaign, which saw Holly Lynch MP - who has been working closely with us on the issue - put forward a 10-Minute Rule Bill in February of this year calling for tougher sentences. The Bill ran out of time in that instance, but now has another opportunity.
Mick Hume, Secretary of the PFEW Parliamentary Working Group, said: "We are grateful to Chris for helping to bring this Bill to the fore, and to Holly for her continued support of this campaign. Being assaulted is not part of the job for police officers and emergency service workers - the law needs to reflect this. Getting this Bill a key spot in the autumn debates will be a significant step in the right direction, so please cast your vote for it now."
Please vote and share the survey below, so we can get this Bill the attention it deserves in Parliament.
The poll closes at 7pm on Tuesday 11 July.

This story originally aired Nov. 10, 2007. It was updated on June 24, 2008.
Tioga County in upstate New York is the kind of place where people go to escape the problems of the big cities.
So when 35-year-old Michele Harris disappeared, it mystified State Police Captain Mark Lester. "Normally you would expect at some point along this way we're gonna find her," he says. "And we still haven't been able to find her remains."
As correspondent Erin Moriarty reports, in the early morning hours of Sept. 12, 2001, Michele's van was found at the end of her driveway.
But getting a search under way wouldn't be easy. "It's the day after 9/11. We had just sent five or 600 troopers to New York City the night before. Most of our canines had been sent to New York City. Most of our aircraft was working with New York City. So, trying to gear this thing up quickly wasn't happening as easy as it normally would," Lester explains.
Adding to the pressure was that Michele was the wife of Cal Harris, a prominent businessman from a wealthy and influential Tioga County family.
The patriarch, Dwight Harris, bought a string of car dealerships for his three sons to help him run.
Michele, fresh out of college, was working as a secretary at one of the dealerships when she caught the eye of Dwight's youngest son Cal.
"Michele was just like a magnet. She was beautiful. She was full of life. And she smiled all the time. And she was a happy person. And she was young, I think that that was something that thoroughly attracted Cal," remembers Barbara Thayer, Cal and Michele's nanny housekeeper.
And Cal was a catch -- an outstanding athlete in high school, an all-American lacrosse player in college, and by the age of 27 a successful businessman.
Michele, the older of two children from a working class family, had never met anyone like Cal. "Michelle came from a small town, not a wealthy family or anything like that," Barb says. "And then here's this man that kinda sweeps ya off your feet. And you know, you travel and you go to Hawaii and you do fun things. Life could be pretty rosy, you know?"
It was a fairytale romance and no one was happier than Michele when she married Cal and became pregnant.
By the time she was 33, she had four children under the age of six. And Cal provided well: the couple lived on a 252-acre estate, complete with a private lake.
Cindy and Tom Turner spent most weekends with the couple. "You could tell they loved each other very much," Tom says. "I mean, they always wanted to be around each other."
If there were any marital problems, Michele kept them hidden from friends and family, including her sister-in-law Shannon Taylor. "I thought that her life was absolutely perfect. You never saw her when she wasn't smiling or laughing," Shannon remembers.
That is, until Michele's fourth child was born. That's when Shannon would learn that life at the Harris house was no longer quite so perfect.
Michele began talking about Cal's temper and his controlling behavior. "Everything just had to be absolutely perfect," Shannon says.
Asked what would happen if things weren't perfect, Shannon tells Moriarty, "He'd scream. He'd yell. He wanted her to dress a certain way."
"He wanted her thin. He wanted her to look good. And she would lose weight for him," recalls Cindy Turner.
But nothing she did, Michele told friends, seemed to please Cal. "Cal had told her that she was born in Tioga Center, raised in Tioga Center, and she'd die in Tioga Center, like 'You're small town. You're beneath me. You're never going to be up to my level,'" Barb says.
And then Michele discovered Cal was having an affair.
Cal and Michele tried to save the marriage, but in January 2001, after 10 years, Michele filed for divorce. But according to Shannon and Michele's brother Greg, Cal did not want the divorce.
Greg says it was a bitter split, as Michele fought with Cal over money, demanding a full accounting of his businesses.
The situation was made even worse because the couple, forced by the courts, continued sharing the house.
But on Sept. 9, 2001, while horseback riding, Barb remembers Michele seemed happier. "And we were coming back down towards the barn and she said 'I'm so happy. I can't believe it.' She says, 'I'm finally getting my life back. I can't believe how I feel,'" Barb recalls.
Michele had not told her husband yet, but she had decided to accept Cal's financial offer and finalize the divorce. Three days later, just hours before she was supposed to meet her lawyer, Michele disappeared.

What I really wanted to do was initialize my multi-value parameter to the list of possible values that existed in my data table (as was listed in the UI for the parameter on the Silverlight ReportViewer).
After doing more research I found that perhaps my multi-value parameter had to be set to a collection of string values. I found no way to do that from the UI dialog. More research suggested using an ArrayList and setting the value in my report code. I attempted to do this in the constructor for my report, but this caused an exception. I happened across an example where the parameter was initialized with a static list of values using new object[] {"123", "456"}. I test this and it worked! Now all I had to do was copy my ArrayList into an object[] and assign that to the parameter. Below is the working code.
public partial class HighRiskClientsReport : Telerik.Reporting.Report
public HighRiskClientsReport()
/// <summary>
/// Required for telerik Reporting designer support
/// </summary>
// TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'clientDataSet.ClientDataSetTable' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
ArrayList clinicNumbers = new ArrayList();
foreach (DataRow row in this.clientDataSet.ClientDataSetTable.Rows)
if (!clinicNumbers.Contains(row["Clinic_Number"].ToString()))
// not sure why, but these variations caused an InnerException so I added the code below and it works
//this.ReportParameters["ClinicNumber"].Value = clinicNumbers;
//this.ReportParameters["ClinicNumber"].Value = (object)clinicNumbers;
// working code
object[] obj = new object[clinicNumbers.Count];
for (int n = 0; n < clinicNumbers.Count; n++)
obj[n] = clinicNumbers[n];
this.ReportParameters["ClinicNumber"].Value = obj;
catch (System.Exception ex)
// An error has occurred while filling the data set. Please check the exception for more information.

Hi there,
I am trying to do the exact same thing, but with Telerik Report Designer.
How would I set this:
Expression Operator Value
=Fields.MyField = =IsNull(Parameters.ProductName, Fields.ProductName)
From the Standalone report designer? I don't quite understand Where I should be writing that.
When I write my query and proceed, I get a list of Parameters used in my report, I get `Configure data source parameters` window with three columns
Name: has list of @Parameters
DbType: has DbTypes (int32, DateTime etc)
Value: values
I click on Values and select 'New Report Parameter' but don't see where I can enter the expression anywhere.
I want something simple as
Select * from Product
Where ProductTypeId in (@ProductTypeIds)
I can configure @ProductTypeIds to be multivalue and it all works fine, but sometimes I just need to select all products (ProductTypeId is nullable) so I would like to not have the filter at all.

London-based Meridian Power announced this month that it has selected former Tupelo mayor and Advance Mississippi Chairman Glenn L. McCullough Jr. as chairman of its biomass businesses in the United States.
The company has chosen Mississippi to be the site of its first power plant, due to the abundance of timber biomass in the state.
Meridian Power plans to develop several 100-150 megawatt, large-scale biomass-fired power plants in the Southeastern United States, each with a total consumption of over 1 million tons a year. The company was formed in 1997 to specialize in renewable energy and has completed several clean energy plants in the United Kingdom.
Each project will require more than $400 million in investment, according to a company presentation at the 9th Annual Southern BioProducts and Renewable Energy Conference held in Tunica in April.
"I am delighted to join Meridian Power in order to accelerate its efforts to build a large-scale biomass business in the Southeastern United States. Biomass power generation provides long term security to local timber businesses, and creates new jobs while generating clean energy," McCullough said.
McCullough said no details were yet available on the location of their first plant: "We're really at the early stages of planning on our first project."
The company will focus on using tree biomass. Some companies are exploring uses for other types of biomass, such as poultry litter, which is more suited to smaller plants than the ones Meridian intends to build.
McCullough's role will be part-time support in strategic business development to Jackson's Mark Frascogna, the full-time director for Meridian's U.S. activities.
McCullough said his new role will not conflict with his leadership position in Advance Mississippi, which exists to promote "superior energy policies that foster economic growth." The non-profit was founded by Entergy Mississippi and North American Coal Corporation, among many others. McCullough also serves on the board of Mississippi Technology Alliance.
Meridian Power CEO, Marco Dell'Aquila, said, "Glenn is a highly regarded professional with a distinguished career in the power sector and Meridian Power is delighted that he has joined us to build a significant biomass business in the US. Biomass power generation is an important but often overlooked source of clean and locally 'grown' power. It helps to stimulate the creation and maintenance of long term jobs. Biomass power generation is green, economically viable and produces power 24/7."
In 2001, President George W. Bush selected McCullough as chair of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) board of directors, a position which he held until 2005.
During that time, McCullough also served as a member of the National Advisory Board of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and as a member of the Executive Committee of the Board of the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). He served on the Executive Committee of the Board of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and as a director of the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO).
McCullough has 14 years in private business as vice president of McCullough Steel Products, Inc. and worked for five years on the staff of former Gov. Kirk Fordice.

Southeastern Louisiana University's teacher preparation program
has been given "straight As" on the annual institutional report cards released today (April 8) by the Louisiana Board of Regents.
Earning an overall performance label of "exemplary," the university received an "A" for institutional performance, which is based on the passage rate on the PRAXIS examination required for teacher licensure and on a survey of graduates' satisfaction with their teacher preparation program. The university also earned an "A+" on the Quantity Index, which is comprised of both the raw number of program completers and additional recognition for producing teachers in critical shortage categories such as special education, mathematics and science teaching, and minority graduates in all areas of certification.
Southeastern was one of a dozen institutions rated as "exemplary," the highest performance label. Last year the university was judged as "high performing," the second highest of five general classifications for rating teacher preparation.
Southeastern's PRAXIS passage rate was 97.2 percent, just short of the 98 percent required for an "A+" grade. A total of 278 of the 286 students who completed the program in 2002-2003 passed the PRAXIS. The figure includes 232 completers in the regular teacher preparation program and 46 in the alternative certification program.
Overall, Southeastern graduates judged the university's program as "excellent" in their responses to 33 questions about factors such as planning, instruction, management and school
"The report reflects what has always been a major mission at Southeastern, namely the preparation of quality teachers to serve our area's schools," said Southeastern President Randy Moffett. "The credit for this success is directly due to the efforts of the administrators and faculty of our College of Education and Human Development and the College of Arts and Sciences. Preparation of teachers at Southeastern is a coordinated effort designed to ensure that graduates have excellent academic content knowledge as well as a strong basis in teaching methods."
I am especially pleased that Southeastern scored well in terms of both quality and quantity, said Martha Thornhill, interim dean of the College of Education and Human Development. Not only are we preparing a large number of teachers to meet the critical shortage of certified teachers in Louisiana, but we also have clear, objective evidence that those teachers are highly skilled in their craft. Certainly, they will have direct positive impact on the future learning of Louisiana's children.
Thornhill said since fall 2003, Southeastern students are now required to pass all parts of the PRAXIS examination before student teaching.
Moffett said he was especially pleased to see high scores from Southeastern graduates who are now engaged in classroom teaching. Graduates graded their preparation programs in the areas of planning, instruction, classroom management and school improvement.
"This is a strong indication that we are appropriately preparing new teachers for their profession," he said. "They know what to expect in the classroom and how to apply the knowledge and skills they have learned."
Southeastern is one of Louisiana's largest producers of teacher candidates with approximately 300 graduates per year. The total number of students admitted to the program in 2002-03 was 856, with 285 students participating in supervised student teaching or internship programs. The university employs a total of 65 full and part time faculty in professional education, maintaining a student to faculty ratio of about four to one in student teaching supervision.
Southeastern was the first teacher preparation program in the state to actually guarantee the performance of its graduates in area school systems. In 2000, the university promised that its graduates will have strong knowledge of their subject, can teach to a diverse student population and know how to infuse technology into the curriculum. If teachers fail to meet specified standards, Southeastern will re-train them at its expense and provide them with an experienced mentor.
The teacher preparation program was also the first in Louisiana to be reaccredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education in 2002 under NCATE's revised stringent standards. NCATE is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as the primary accrediting body for teacher preparation programs.
Other highlights about Southeastern's program noted in the report card included:
the opening of a new $8 million annex to the Cate Teacher Education Center in 2003. The annex features 10 new general classrooms, a 200-seat lecture hall, technology classroom and technology laboratory classroom, and three conference rooms.
replacement of its non-degree alternative certification program with a Master of Arts in Teaching degree, a program available completely on-line to non-certified teachers who are currently involved in classroom instruction. More than 800 students were accepted into the program since summer 2002, with over 400 students participating each semester.
strong success in keeping teacher graduates in the classroom through the Teacher Scholars Program, an accelerated master's degree program that provides intensive mentoring for first year teachers. After six years, 97 percent of teacher participants are still in the classroom.
receipt in 2002-2003 of a $1.3 million federal grant to provide quality professional development to teachers of limited English proficient students in four neighboring parish school systems: East Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Livingston and Tangipahoa parishes.

From Earl Brown
4/3/09 Ukiah, Mendocino County, North California
The success of this mixed light industry, agriculture and eco-village is largely dependent upon the re-opening of the North West Pacific Rail Road track to Willits. There has been some investment into the rail system in Sonoma County and the Cloverdale rail station has been rebuilt. The track coming up from Cloverdale is open, or can be opened easily, to Ukiah. The track from Ukiah to Willits is open except for where it slumps crossing the top of the slide zone on the Willits Grade; this could be fixed with minimal time and expense. In fact, it would be a simple effort (non-politically speaking) to get the rail line re-opened to Willits. Tourism, particularly eco-tourism, is a virtually untapped economic resource for Mendocino County, utilizing our regions existing natural gifts and beauty to attract visitors at no expense, or investment. However, it does require financial investment into infrastructure (trails, campgrounds, transport), alternative power sources, support industry, and visitor accommodations. The ocean, rivers and mountains already exist we just need to add the tourists and sustainably move them around.
Mendocino County is the interface between the remaining wild-lands and the urban zones reaching up from the Bay Area. Ukiah and Willits are the gateway to experiencing the northern Mendocino County wilderness, the coast and points north. Although U.S. Highway 101 connects us fuel prices and the awareness of the hidden costs of oil (war, oppression, racism) will soon cut into people's ability and desire to burn fossil fuels for personal pleasure. Affordable mass transit will be a necessity in the future. The existing rail system, to Willits, stands ready to be utilized for commuter transit, transport of local produce and products south, bring needed supplies north, to give tourists, specifically ecologically minded tourists, access to Mendocino County. The rail system can also be used, via the Skunk Train, to Fort Bragg and the Mendocino Coast. Already largely dependent on tourism, the Coast would quickly respond to the additional tourism with pleasure. During transition the train may have to use diesel but quickly fossil fuel could be replaced with veggie-diesel, other bio-fuel and/or possibly by solar power. Increasing eco-tourism brings income into the county, uses existing infrastructure, provides visitors with a memorable experience and educates the populace to the need for healthy ecosystems and communities.
An eco-village at the Masonite site would be a destination in itself and a step off point for local attractions as well as a rest stop on the way north to Willits, or Fort Bragg. Ukiah Valley has Lake Mendocino and the Russian River as its two main attractions. Hiking and biking paths along county roads, urban streams and the banks of the Russian River would add a lot to the local attractions and water sport activities could add to the attractiveness of the area. Although there are currently hazards in the Russian River channel (Norgard rubble dam, metal erosion control structures) between Ukiah and Cloverdale, with effort this stretch of river could be opened to commercial and recreational uses. As well as accessing local sites and businesses a shuttle from the eco-village could also take visitors to Clear Lake, Lake Pillsbury, Cache Creek, Bartlett Springs and other locations in Lake County. Ukiah could be the first destination inside Mendocino County for the Eco-Train with the potential benefit to the local economy.
North of Willits the track passes an old lumber mill and then runs along the edge of Outlet Creek, crossing several trestles, to the confluence of Outlet Creek and the Main Stem Eel River. The track turns north and follows the edge of the Eel River, passing through Tunnel One, a short tunnel through a rock outcropping, to about 3.5 miles north of the confluence where a large landslide is covering the track. The track is then closed for over 50 miles of "wild and scenic" Eel River wilderness canyon to Alder Point, northeast of Garberville. Day use access to the Main Eel River, with proper facilities and picnic areas, could become a popular outing for local hikers, bikers, boaters, and other river enthusiasts, as well as visitors. Willits is the gateway into Covelo Valley, the Middle Fork Eel River, the Yolla Bolly Wilderness, the Sinkyone Wilderness Area, and Southern Humboldt County, all of which has something to offer any visitor and especially eco-tourists.
The old mill site just north of Willits could be turned into another eco-village destination, similar to the Ukiah village and be the end-of-the-line for the typical visitor. A previous stop at the Willits Station could be the connection to the Skunk Train and the Mendocino coast. The Skunk Train ridership is about 60,000 people per year and stands ready to accommodate many more. With an increase in Skunk ridership the City of Fort Bragg could afford to create additional attractions for visitors to the Coast. From the Willits eco-village a shuttle train (solar or veggie oil) could take both locals and visitors out to the Eel River, along Highway 162, for river day use, hiking, swimming and boating. The end-end of the track would be Tunnel One, which would be converted into a visitor center, hostel and trailhead for wilderness access. The tunnel would be fitted with a solar panel array for power, a re-charging station for the shuttle train, contain emergency medical supplies and limited sleeping accommodations for visitors staging for multiple day excursions. A shuttle to Covelo and the Yolla Bolly Wilderness would be operated out of the Willits eco-village for people wishing for a distinctly remote wilderness experience.
People could get on the train in San Francisco, or Sacramento, take a dinner ride up to Ukiah for a weekend of wine tasting. They may take in a leisurely bike ride around the valley or maybe rent a kayak on the Russian River. They would stay in local hotels and Inns, eat in local restaurants and purchase locally produced products. Some people would continue on up to Willits for a weekend on the river, or to go to Fort Bragg and the accommodations on the Coast. After a relaxing weekend enjoying the out of doors, leisurely train rides through interesting landscapes, good food, good entertainment and healthy communities, they take their experiences back anticipating their next weekend get-away.

KAMLOOPS - If the city wants to be considered for new RCMP officers in 2015-2016 a decision will need to be made this week.
City council is being asked to authorize a letter of 'Approval in Principle' for two new officers. It is believed these officers would be required to help support the proposed nuisance abatement bylaw and 'other resource requirements' though the new officers would only be required if council does choose to adopt such a bylaw.
The city funds 90 per cent of police services with the other 10 per cent coming from the federal government. The federal fiscal year does not line up with the city one, which is why a letter about planning and is not a formal approval, is required now.
Two new officers would increase the overall police budget by $304,327, or 1.4 per cent.

Legendary broadcaster David Dimbleby has received this year's lifetime award at the annual Royal Television Society's Awards.
The 72 year old, brother of current affairs presenter Jonathan Dimbleby and son of World War 11 broadcaster Richard Dimbleby, is currently the host of BBC flagship show, Question Time.
Dimbleby called the news of the award "one of the best moments in my life", despite the fact that he has been made an honorary graduate at a number of British universities.
But the veteran broadcaster will have to go some to surpass the achievement of the late Barbara Cartland.
The romantic writer - who died in 2000 at the grand old age of 98 - received 5 lifetime awards for contributions to literature.

He was a Scotsman, a hero of mine, and for years I had wanted to do the very Scottish thing of putting a stone on the cairn on top of his grave. The only problem was that his body had vanished into the ocean on an unmarked sand spit on the Skeleton Coast of Namibia, far, far away.
His name was Angus Campbell Macintyre, and he was the first mate of a South African tugboat sent on a failed attempt to rescue the crew and passengers of a British cargo ship, the Dunedin Star, which had foundered off the coast in 1942. I had read the story of the eventual successful rescue years before, when I was sheltering from a storm in a Scots-built farmhouse in southern Patagonia: it had been a tale that kept me up all through a howling night, and I had promised myself that one day I would get to the Skeleton Coast and find the wreck and Macintyre's grave. It became, I confess, something of a minor obsession.
A year ago I got my chance. I flew to Windhoek, and from there, on a Cessna, I reached a tiny camp among the dunes near the Agate Hills, from the summit of which I could see some of the immense extent of this bleak coastline: the ocean on one side, the Namib Desert on the other.
The Skeleton Coast extends 300 miles, from Walvis Bay north to the Kunene river and the border with Angola. Aside from a couple of small and ephemeral rivers there is no fresh water – meaning almost no chance of the sailors driven ashore surviving. The dunes are trackless and endless – and impossibly beautiful.
It is an unforgettable place – and made all the more so by the dozens of wrecked ships that still lie here on the beaches where they were stranded. The Dunedin Star was one of these.
We had a Land Rover equipped for desert travel, and knew only that the wreck had been about 20 miles north of a seal colony at Cape Fria, and so that was where we made for.
After driving all day along the hard sand at the ocean-edge, we came to the cape, with seals and the jackals who stalked them. Then, as the sun was lowering and the sea turning golden, we saw what remained: a line of decayed boilers, scores of wooden boxes holding unbroken lightbulbs, which I knew the Star was carrying, and, the remains of the crude shelter the survivors had built, and in which they huddled for a month before a rescue convoy reached them by land.
But then, a few miles south, the object of my real purpose: two rusting spires rising from the surf, all that was left of the tugboat. On the sand stood the tiny grave: a brass plaque to Matthias Koraseb and Angus Campbell Macintyre. Macintyre's body has never been found.
I had collected a tiny sandblasted glass bottle from the wreck of the Star. I wrote a note to the men: "Thank You for Trying, Now Rest in Peace", and signed and dated it. Then I slipped it under a rock and a pile of whalebones.
A message in a bottle, left in a cairn, a memorial to an otherwise forgotten Scotsman. Maybe in time, there will be other messages, other stones placed on his cairn. It would seem a very Scottish thing to do.

VIENNA, Oct. 24 (UPI) -- The wife of Austrian politician Joerg Haider has stopped the cremation of his remains amid concerns the Carinthia governor may have been killed, sources say.
Sources said Haider's wife, Claudia, is concerned that the 58-year-old politician's death on Oct. 11 in a car crash near Klagenfurt may not have been an accident as initially thought, The Daily Telegraph in London said Friday.
The former Alliance for the Future of Austria head was killed after his car hit a pillar and flipped over. Investigators said Haider's blood-alcohol level was nearly four times the legal limit at the time of the crash.
But the sources said the lack of any braking marks at the crash site has led Haider's wife to suspect the Austrian official may have been drugged.
The Daily Telegraph said the concerned woman withdrew her husband's remains from a scheduled cremation last Saturday and is calling for an autopsy of his remains.

Krispy Kreme and local law enforcement team up for good cause
Fri, 13 Jun 2014 14:40:00 GMT —
Krispy Kreme and local law enforcement took advantage of local resident's sweet tooth today to raise money for a good cause.
The groups teamed up to raise money for the Georgia Special Olympics today during their annual 'cops on doughnut shops' fundraiser.
Local officers and Special Olympics athletes collected donations from customers at the Krispy Kreme on Slappey Boulevard.
Customers who donated money to the cause got a sweet treat in return, ranging from a free original glazed doughnut to a complimentary doughnut party for generous corporations, organizations or individuals donating $1,000 or more.
"We face many challenges in society, in law enforcement and in the public safety arena," said Dougherty County Sheriff Kevin Sproul, "but the men and women who go to these Olympics face challenges every day that we never know about until we actually rub shoulders with them and get to watch them at these events and spend time with them and just live life with them. And that's the special purpose behind it all. That's what hits home so much."
The event will continue on Sunday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. at the same location.

For what it's worth, here's my question to Mazda USA and their reply back to me...
To : email@example.com
> Subject : Ownership & Maintenance - Service
& Maintenance
> Date : Sat, 26 Feb 2011 19:14:13 GMT
> The Mazda maintenance schedule and manual for my 2009 CX9 doe not mention anything about changing or flushing the transmission fluid. The dealer tells me it should be changed every 30K miles, or when dirty. What is Mazda's official recommendation on proper transmission fluid maintenance? Leave it alone since it's not mentioned in the maintenance schedule or owners manual (even if it looks dirty), or have it changed when it appears dirty (no longer pink like new fluid)? I don't want to spend $150 every 30K if I don't have to. Thanks for the information.
Thank you for contacting Mazda. I understand you are inquiring about the transmission fluid for your 2009 CX-9. Mazda would advise to have your tranmission fluid checked two times a year. Like for instance Spring and Fall. If at the time of inspection the color of the fluid has changed or there is burnt material Mazda would recommend replacement. Miles or time is not a factor in the replacement. Thank you for your time.
Jennifer Cota-Robles
Mazda Customer Assistance, Representative
Anyway...thought I'd put it out here so people know Mazda's "official" recommendation on the matter (or at least that of the customer service rep that relied to me, which I would assume is representative of their "official" recommendation).

Big "L". This time around, we are testing the Optimus L7 II, the larger of LG's two new mid-range second-generation "Optimus L" models. Its smaller sibling was a decent smartphone, albeit a bit unremarkable - does the same hold true for the L7 II as well?

The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) is the principal system of mass transportation for the Atlanta area. It primarily serves only Fulton and Dekalb Counties, with bus service to a few outside areas (Six Flags, Cumberland Mall) and rail service to Hartsfield International Airport in Clayton County.
Initially a bus service formed in the early 70s, by the 80s it also incorporated rail service, which has been expanding ever since. Chamblee was connected in 1987, rail access to the airport was established in 1990, and the Bankhead Station in West Atlanta is scheduled to open in December 1992, followed by the Indian Creek Station, outside the East Perimeter, in summer of 1993. Because of resistance from Clayton and Gwinnett Counties, the service primarily runs only north-south and east-west lines, more or less along the routes of I-85 and I-20.
Several locations important to the Kindred population are directly accessible by rail (making them a useful place for the Scourge, "Loco" Lucille, to patrol for unannounced Cainites). Little Five Points is near the nexus of all the principal rail lines; the CNN Center, Georgia Tech, Fabulous Fox, and Grady Hospital are also conveniently close to stations, to name a few. Unfortunately, the rail lines cut off at 1 AM, potentially leaving Kindred stranded in the early morning.
A substantial portion of the rail lines are beneath street level, especially in the downtown area, providing a potential habitat for the city's Nosferatu denizens. Rumors that these tunnels intersect some kind of more extensive, secret routes beneath the city are likely pure speculation.
