Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Charles County
St. Charles, Missouri
Our Project:
Our After-school program/project ended with the school year being completed. From mid August 2014 through mid May 2015, we served children on a daily basis. We provided the necessary homework assistance to each child assuring them that they were prepared for class the next day. Without our help many children would go to school without being prepared and unable to participate in the class, thus falling behind and making it hard to realize academic success. The children participate in board games that are fun and help increase the desire to increase their vocabulary as well as other education games and projects. Daily each child was provided with a hot nutritious meal and snack before they went home for the evening. May of our children go home to an empty refrigerator. For many, their only meals are provided to them by their school and the Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Charles County. Without proper nourishment, a child will not flourish. It become hard for them to concentrate in school, They have a negative desire to succeed. They sometimes resort to unfavorable behavior which may lead to an adverse effect on the future. Improper nourishment for a growing child may lead to the onset of adult illness and obesity. The Food Program at the Boys & Girls Club also continues through the summer months. Hunger DOES NOT take a holiday. The children also participated in physical activities that resulted in healthy exercise, thus stressing the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. On Easter weekend, the children participated in an Easter egg hunt. For many of our children this was a first, as some live in such impoverished households that even an Easter egg hunt is not considered. It became necessary for us to build a new facility due to maintenance on the old Club became overwhelming and actually unhealthy and with security issues. We relocated one year ago and have been able to provide more program and the membership has doubled. We have a large debt on the new facility but it was no longer possible to remain in the old facility and closing the Club was NOT an option. The Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Charles County is a home away from home for many. This Club is a must in the community.
1500 candy filled Easter eggs, additional prizes and lunch for 200 children. 150 Back to School book bags filled with the needed items to participate in the classroom. Over 18,000 hot nutritious dinners and snacks provided to the Children during this time.

What's Up at Steil Club?
May 13th, 2011
Steil Club has been up to some fun things this Spring including:
Penny Wars
During the month of March, Club members and staff competed in collecting pennies to help with the relief efforts in Japan. There were four teams (broken down by ages) competing for the big grand prize, a chance to "slime" two staff members and two junior staff members. The Club raised over $100 for the cause, and the 6-9 year old team was the overall winner. Check out photos from the big sliming here!
Junk Day
During the week of Earth Day, Club members gathered in the gymnasium to find tons and tons of "junk." As part of a program to help them learn to reduce, reuse, and recycle, Club members took on the challenge of creating something amazing and creative from what others had deemed junk. The youth created many projects such as robots, houses, and more.

Learn More about Old Saybrook, CT History
Old Saybrook, CT was established in 1854, but its history dates back to the 1600s. Old Saybrook history tells us that Dutch explorers once made a temporary trading post in Old Saybrook. However, it wouldn't be until 1635 that the first real Old Saybook colony stood.
John Winthrop was selected as the first governor of the land, who claimed to have rights through the Earl of Warwick. His group supported Oliver Cromwell and remained in England during the Civil War of England. In the year 1644, leaders agreed to combine the colony with the Connecticut colony just a few miles away. The Flag of Connecticut's design actually comes from the original seal of the Saybrook colony. In the year 1659, settlers from Saybrook bought more land from the Mohegan Native American tribe. In fact, the area around the mouth of the Connecticut River first belonged to the Algonquin Nehantic Indians, even before Europeans came to the continent. Unfortunately, this peace-loving tribe was eventually conquered, not by white settlers, but by a warring Indian tribe called the Pequots.
Old Saybrook, CT history continued and settlers moved away from the original territory and branched out into their own parishes. The motivation? So that they could avoid extra long travel on Sunday mornings when church services started, of course! These parishes of convenience would later become the towns of Lyme, Old Lyme, Westbrook, Chester, Essex and Deep River. Early industries that helped develop the town include coastal trading, riverboats and, to some extent, fishing.
Another interesting point of history involves the Collegiate School of Connecticut, which would later become Yale University. For a time, it was chartered in Old Saybrook, before being moved to New Haven. Another historical curiosity is the Turtle, the first American submarine. A replica exists at the Old Saybrook Senior High School. You can come to Old Saybrook for the attractions, but don't forget to experience the history of Old Saybrook, a coastal town that is a significant part of New England's culture.

Adoption of agroforestry systems by farmers in Masaka district of Uganda

|Botany Department, University of Hawaii at Manoa
|Sebukyu VB, Mosango M. 2012. Adoption of agroforestry systems by farmers in Masaka district of Uganda. Ethnobotany Research & Applications 10: 59-68.
|High population density in Masaka district, Uganda, has led to increased pressure on land. This has resulted in reduced arable land and decreased soil fertility. In view of this, the Vi-Tree NGO Project has initiated a study to investigate the adoption of agroforestry systems by farmers in Masaka district with focus on the types of agroforestry systems practiced, incorporation of multipurpose tree and shrub species, crops grown, farm land size and land ownership, production and marketing problems, and the main items on which families expend money on. Data was collected using open-ended questionnaire interviews administered to 88 farmers randomly selected throughout the 22 subcounties of Masaka district. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings showed that the main agroforestry systems practiced are agrosilvopasture, agrosilviculture and silviculture. The study revealed that 81 woody species (75 trees and 6 shrubs) are used. 69% of these are indigenous. The most important families are Fabaceae, Moraceae, Euphorbiaceae, Combretaceae and Myrtaceae. Bananas, cassava, beans, vegetables, maize and coffee are the main crops grown. The majority of farmers hold small farm lands (1-3 acres). Primary production problems are pests and diseases while marketing problems are many including low prices, long distances from village to farm, lack of buyers and price fluctuations. The main items they spend money on are school fees, medicines, and essential commodities. The adoption of agroforestry systems by farmers is relatively high in Masaka district. This is probably due to high demand for land, soil fertility decline, erosion problems, and demand for woody products (e.g., timber, fuel wood, and fodder, food), contact with the Vi-Tree NGO Agroforestry Project extension agents, and need to increase crop yield. High levels of personal land ownership has probably contributed to the adoption of agroforestry systems to promote long-term production.

Seattle City Light CEO Jorge Carrasco apologizes for lying, embarrasing events
Embattled Seattle City Light CEO Jorge Carrasco says he's sorry for a series of embarrassing events involving him and the utility.
Carrasco issued his apology in a news conference Thursday afternoon to address the issues, including his lying to KIRO Radio's Jason Rantz about whether he'd asked for a raise.
"I will be the first to admit that I handled the issue poorly and my answer was wrong," Carrasco said.
"The fact is that I did expect that my compensation would be adjusted as a result of the City Council adjusting pay band and I did ask the mayor to raise my salary…I should have been more open about it and I regret that and I made a mistake and I'm admitting my mistake."
Carrasco also apologized for City Light's hiring of online reputation company Brand.com to bury stories critical of the utility and Carrasco and replace them with more positive stories. And he took responsibility for getting scammed by con artists posing as Native Americans he allowed to steal copper from the utility.
"These incidents do not reflect the values that I believe in and that I hold dear. And I would ask you and I would ask the public to judge me on the basis of the entire track record over the last 10 1/2 years," he said.
While apologizing and admitting he lied when asked about seeking an increase to his $245,000 salary, Carrasco defended his request, saying the pay range for his position was supposed to be adjusted every two years but had only received one "modest" adjustment over the last 10 1/2 years.
Carrasco said he had been approached about several opportunities and notified the mayor about the most recent one, but that he preferred to stay with the utility in Seattle.
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray announced Wednesday he would not give Carrasco a pay raise because of "judgment" issues, saying the issue had become a "political football." The Seattle City Council authorized a pay raise of up to $119,000 for Carrasco last month.
When asked if he would seek a pay raise in the near future, Carrasco said he would not look at that now and instead focus on rebuilding trust and continuing the work of the utility. "And that issue should take care of itself," he said of a future pay hike.

Unanswered: What is DBase?
Can you help me with DBase? I need to know why it is out of the market. What was wrong with it? What were its advantages? Was it open source or proprietary? I need to compare it with Oracle and MySQL with respect to its efficiency, ease of use, memory consumption, accuracy and any criteria used to compare databases.
Thanks a lot.

dBase was one of the first PC databases, massiey successfull inits time, was always propriatory.. published by Ashton Tate, launched IIRC as dBase II. fileformat became a defacto standard, adoptedby other developers, led to xBase, Clipper FoxPro.
didn't make the transition into the windows/GUI world. largely replaced as a desktop dbby Access amongst others

dBase was orginally DOS based DBMS software
As the technology moved from CUI to GUI, GUI products became more attractive and CUI had to take back seat.
DOS based dBase is even today very useful, suitalbe for small bussiness applications.
You may wonder when I tell you that I still work with DOS based dBase
which produces web deployable reports.
Handling of data tables, accessing and modifying data, generating various types of reports all are very easy. Here you have the frontend and backend
at one place. Ease of creating applications will be know when one really works
with it.
It was not open source.
dBase Plus is the GUI version of DOS based dBase
Oracle, MySql are RDBMSs which is essential for very big business houses
which will have millions or billions of records to maintain.
dBase IV is capable of handling a million records per file

I'm visiting Montreal this weekend ( staying at the Ritz, any comments ) and have reservations at Ferraria Cafe Trattoria and Le Pied de Cochon for dinner Sat. and Sun. respectively. I was on the fence for others also- Area, Milos, Toque. I tend toward seafood when out and will definetely not be ordering organ meat or game- nothing against I just don't -so I don't want to spend money on a restaurant that shines in that area. Are the choices I made going to disappoint? Should I look at others or maybe visit them for lunch?
Also, I'm fom DC and even the best restos are business casual. Very few have coat and tie requirments anymore. Is it the same in Montreal?
Thanks for the tips

I put in a long, hard day at the offices of Bristol Financial as you can clearly see. Making sure that the foundation of our business is sound is not a task for just any pup, it takes a serious, mature canine to ensure smooth operations. My Dad Shawn jokes that I am the office "Wall Art" but he really should take me more seriously. Where would his investments be without my advice I wonder? Of course, this is also the best position to earn repeated belly rubs, and those are always great dividends!

Experts and equipment are being brought in to help refloat the Endeavour River, which ran aground in Gladstone Harbor. A spokesman from the salvage company, Svitzer, says it is likely that efforts to refloat the ship will not be made until later in the week when the tides are more favorable. Svitzer is also bringing in one of its naval architects from Holland who will look at the structure of the ship. Additional equipment, including cables and shackles, is scheduled to arrive. Investigations are underway for the reason the bulk carrier ran aground but at the moment the focus is on refloating the the ship, fully loaded with bauxite. Source: ABC News

AOC Ratings and Reviews
Atmosphere was great. Music was at a perfect volume you could have a conversation. Service was okay. They yank the plates away pretty fast without asking if you are done. I asked for a DECAF DOUBLE ESPRESSO, it was 9pm.. and when I was wide awake in bed at 2am I realized it wasn't decaf. Also the charcuterie plate is good but they serve it with buttered toasted thick bread. ANd it really belongs with nice french bread... For a few reasons, one you can taste the cheeses etc. better then on a toasted buttered slab of thick bread. The fact that they served that kind of bread with such a plate cheapens the exeperience. I see them doing that Sharky's.
The atmosphere was wonderful. The food was delicious (especially the scallops). The wine list was endless. The service was personable and attentive. The butterscotch dessert was one of the main reasons I will definitely come back. Three of us were vegetarian at the table, so most of the food we tried was vegetarian as well - we started off with the Farmer's plate accompanied with some fox…(don't remember the full name of the cheese, but it's the one from Indianapolis); then we had the delicious scallops, the polenta platter with wild mushrooms and some other dishes split amongst ourselves. 1 appetizer plate, 3 smaller entrees, and the platter were more than enough for the four of us at the table. Then, 2 different desserts - the chocolate cake and the butterscotch. Having already expressed my feelings about the latter will say that I am not a huge fan of chocolate desserts but if you like chocolate cake, you will most likely love this one too.
I love to go to this restaurant especially for lunch because they serve the delicious focaccia turkey sandwich with fries or salad. The waitstaff is knowledgeable and friendly. The hostess is friendly and accommodating. Great ambience and the food is always fresh and delicious.
We were over 30 minutes late in arriving at the restaurant and they opted to hold our table for us. The menu contained a lot of unusual items and it was fun exploring the different tastes. Our waiter was helpful in recommending things to try. The service was good.
The food, as always, was great but the service was horrible. No one even talked to us for 25 minutes after we were seated. When I tried to get someone's attention, she made eye contact with me and then walked in the opposite direction. The food took another 30 minutes to come out. When our bill came, it included 2 drinks we didn't order. All around a poor experience saved only by the fact that the food is good
I am a big fan of Suzanne Goine and always take special guests to one of her restaurants. I took guests from London to AOC for brunch on Saturday 11/11. Unlike previous visits to Lucques and A.O.C., there were some issues with the service this time. We ordered drinks at the bar and my drink was not what I had ordered. Our food was very good. After our plates were taken away, two in our party ordered a cappuccino and a latte. About 15 minutes later, two lattes were bought to our table. We had been there nearly two hours by this time and did not want to send it back and wait more time for the correct beverage to be brought to our table. It was disappointing and I hope a "one-off" occurrence.
I understand it's small plates but 3 below average small shrimp for 20 dollars was pretty lame. Atleast make it 4 if they are that small.
I ordered a bunch and the sea bass was cold and all of the food was average at best.
The waitress was very rude and made a comment about us asking for the chef to remove the shrimp heads off (as it did not say on the menu that it would include the eyes and head of shrimp.) Some people don't like seeing that and the horrible waitress let us know we were wrong for asking it to be removed.
The whole experience for 200 dollars absolutely sucked and I will never go there again.
Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne have created the perfect casual dining experience. The food is interesting and flavorful. The ambience invites you to relax and the staff, each and every one of them is friendly, helpful and knowledgable. AOC has become one of my favorites in Los Angeles.
The three of us were disappointed with today's lunch. Spinach & chicken salad and two little gems with chicken. Food was not up the usual artfully plated standard nor did it leave us wanting more like it always does. Chicken texture felt like too much time was spent in a sous vide bath, and one of the little gems was a bit gritty. Service and ambience were outstanding.
Went here for my birthday breakfast. Sat outside on the patio and enjoyed every bit of the ambiance and decor. Food was yummy. I feel like the service could definitely step it up a notch. Receptionist/ front desk was very polite and personable. I would definitely recommend this place and come back.
AOC is an old favorite in LA. Old enough where it was slightly forgotten. A few months back we reconnected at the new location on Third. Loved that location when it was Orso. Love how they freshened it up and kept the greatness.
Food is inventive. Flavors are new and different without being 'experimental.' It's family style so we shared - fun for a date or group of friends. Good for foodies. Good for locavores.
Well done !
Terrific wine, food and ambience! I loved the original location but this one's even better. Sitting in the courtyard, I felt as though I were in my favorite restaurant in Barcelona. The kale with olive oil and garlic was so outstanding that we ordered seconds. When one of my friends asked for the recipe, the waiter told us that it's in their cookbook and brought out a copy to show us. I bought it for her and her fiancé, and the chef-author signed it with a personal inscription. The perfect end to a delightful evening. And I've never felt more secure in a ladies room ;)
Each time I visit LA I'm sure to stop by AOC. Excellent wine list (though quite expensive), and really inventive appetizers on the menu. Food ranges from easy to share small plates, to some incredible pastas that you won't want anyone else to touch except yourself.
Service is prompt and insightful - even when we said we were only there for drinks and apps before heading to a different restaurant for dinner, our server was kind and informative. Actually gave us recos for which menu/drink items to choose at the other restaurant as well.
Very inviting place. Diverse crowd. Delicious drinks--- try the green goddess mocktail --- . Spanish chicken and waffles was fabulous. Duck confit would have benefitted from larger pieces of duck . Brunchmenu offered lots of choices. Service was warm and excellent .
We were seated in the beautiful wine room overlooking the outdoor patio. Service was excellent and recommendation for the number of small plates we needed was right on.
The food was excellent. We shared 10 different selections from the 5 portions of the menu. All dishes were well prepared and plated.
The wine list was extensive as was the wine by the glass list. Only small complaint would be the price of the wines by the glass given the known bottle price.
Intimate space with cozy niches, comfrtable chairs and moody lighting not to mention lovely flowers and fireplace....the smokey smell of something delicous coming from the kitchen. Warm and inviting this is the perfect place for a romantic dinner or a place for friends to enjoy a meal and reminicse...
Never disappointed here.
My only criticism would be the same as for all restaurants in LA: the service is not as attentive & scrupulous as the cost of the meal should dictate. I supported myself for many years as a waiter in higher-end restaurants. I understand the job & the standards to be upheld, & in LA the casual approach seems to apply as much to those in the service industry as everywhere else. A diner should never have to ask for flatware or use a utensil for multiple courses or run out of water or look around for help. The solution to all that is simple. 1: Put as much emphasis on training for service as restaurants do on the food, drink, & dietary restrictions. 2: Staff the floor with waiters who own their stations & work closely with bussers who are teamed up with them rather than roving the entire floor largely unmanaged.

Some fun things are going on in my life this week... I'm finishing up my proposal for my graduate project. Dealing with finals (yay... psych). Procrastinating. Big time. And doing some Holiday shopping. Oh yeah, and also dealing with a butt load of snow. Not usually a big deal to me, but Eastern Oregon has this theory that when it snows, there are no plows on the farkin' roads!!) !@)(*$#(%*&$! Crazy stupid.
Anywho, here are some of the things that I've been shopping for lately.
New Gym Shoes.
Ended up buying these babies:
And I totally love them already. Seriously. They're amazing.
I did a little dream shopping on Net-a-Porter (they're having a sale) and then put this together on Polyvore with a couple of my loves.
Alexander Wang heavy sweater / Alexander Wang leather jacket / J Brand jeans / NIKE athletic shoes / Eddie Borgo ring, $260 / Stud earrings / Sheriff&Cherry black sunglasses
Somehow along the way, I discovered pictures of Victoria Beckham's Wedding. Total 90's. HA!
Still dreaming of some Frye boots, I especially love these Jenna Braid Stud Tall ones:
Oh, and of course, there's always Etsy. It's a problem, though for me. Sucks me in, big time, so I won't go into those finds.
What do you have on your Holiday shopping list?
What goodies have you found amazing deals on? SPILL!

The Health Status of Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians
We use unique survey data to examine the determinants of self-assessed health of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. We explore the degree to which differences in health are due to differences in socio-economic factors, and examine the sensitivity of our results to the inclusion of 'objective' health measures. Our results reveal that there is a significant gap in the health status of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, with the former characterised by significantly worse health. These findings are robust to alternative estimation methods and measures of health. Although between one third and one half of the health gap can be explained by differences in socio-economic status - such as income, employment status and education - there remains a large unexplained component. These findings have important policy implications. They suggest that, in order to reduce the gap in health status between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, it is important to address disparities in socio-economic factors such as education. The findings also suggest that there are disparities in access to health services and in health behaviour. These issues need to be tackled before Australia can truly claim to have 100% health-care coverage and high levels of health and life expectancy for all of its population.

Zombies are certainly in vogue these days. Who knew fresh and lovely would give way to pale and undead?
This time of year, zombies tend to be more than a bit sinister � wielding angry chainsaws and growling incoherent threats. But at Holiday World, the zombies sing, dance, and pose for pictures with audience members.
Indeed, the cast of Graveyard Smash is a rather congenial bunch.
What other shows are performed during Holiday World�s Happy Halloween Weekends?
Well, let�s see. There�s Gourdon the Talking Pumpkin, Kitty�s Dance Party and even a Wild & Wacky Halloween Magic Show.
In addition to nearly all of Holiday World�s rides (coaster enthusiasts love the after-dark rides!) there are also amazing mazes.
Start with Holidog�s 3D Halloween Adventure and then head over to Mummy�s Treasure Maze. And be sure to take the hayride to the 12-acre corn maze.
How does Holiday World create its huge maze? Just watch this video to see the process, from �Corn�cept to Completion:
Holiday World's 2013 Corn Maze: From "Corncept" to Reality
If you visit on a Saturday, be sure to stay for the Halloween Laser Light Show. All the shows, attractions and rides are family-friendly. Because, well, it�s Holiday World! (And soft drinks, parking and sunscreen are free, just like during the summer months.)
Here�s a quick video showing a little bit of everything this Happy Halloween Weekends event has to offer:
And speaking of offers, if you purchase your Happy Halloween Weekends tickets from Holiday World�s website, they�re available for the discounted price of $24.95 for General Admission and $17.95 for Guests-under-54� and Seniors (60+).
And in case your children ask how many pumpkins are used to decorate the park – we counted for you: the answer is 2,913 pumpkins. Orange you glad we told you?

Rutherford County Genealogy
Sign up for our North Carolina Genealogy newsletter:
Rutherford County was formed in 1779 and was named for Brigadier General Griffith Rutherford. He had led a campaign against the Cherokee in 1776 and was in the Revolutionary War. In 1791 parts of Rutherford were used to form Buncombe County. Further land was used to create Lincoln and Cleveland Counties as well as McDowell, and Polk Counties.
The county seat of Rutherford County is Rutherfordton. The county is divided into the following townships: Camp Creek, Chimney Rock, Colfax, Cool Spring, Duncans Creek, Gilkey, Golden Valley, Green Hill, High Shoals, Logan Store, Morgan, Rutherfordton, Sulphur Springs, and Union.
Notable sites in Rutherford County are Lake Lure (Filming location of parts of the movie Dirty Dancing) and Chimney Rock (now a State Park) where parts of the 1990′s movie Last of the Mohican's was filmed. (Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeline Stowe and Wes Studi had prominent roles in the film.)

But this warning apparently needs to be updated to advise people that not only will anything you say, but also any rap lyrics you write can be used against you, even if they were penned years before the crime at issue.
Those are the very facts of Vonte Skinner's case currently pending on appeal before the New Jersey Supreme Court. Skinner was charged with the 2005 attempted murder of Lamont Peterson who had been shot several times at close range.
Earlier this week oral arguments were heard regarding whether Skinner's rap lyrics were improperly admitted by the trial judge. Here's just a sample of 13 pages of Skinner's lyrics read by the prosecution to the jury:
I love bringin' heat and to beef melt ya' Jeep. Two to your helmet and four slugs drillin' your cheek to blow your face off and leave your brain caved in the street.
Yo, look in my eyes. You can see death comin' quick. Look in my palms, you can see what I'm gunnin' with. I play no games when it comes to this war shit. If death was a jacket, you would see how the floor fits.
You get the idea. Unsurprisingly, Skinner was convicted despite the weapon not being found and conflicting testimony identifying him as the shooter.
I saw first hand when I was a trial lawyer that a jury -and even a judge- could be swayed by any one piece of evidence. Cases could turn on what might otherwise be perceived as lesser piece of evidence. Consequently, a defendant's rap lyrics could be the very thing that sways a jury to reach a guilty verdict because the words unfairly portray the person as violent.
And in Skinner's case, the lyrics at issue were written well before the crime- with some as old as four years before the shooting. It's also undisputed that Skinner's lyrics neither mentions the victim nor recites facts similar to his case.
I'm not arguing that all lyrics, or other creative expressions by a defendant, should never be admissible. But they should be clearly tied to the facts of the case at hand. For example, it would've been proper to admit the lyrics if Skinner had written about having a beef with the victim.
As former New York homicide prosecutor Paul Callan explained via email: "Had Johnnie Cash been charged with actually shooting 'a man in Reno, just to watch him die' his song lyrics would be relevant and admissible at trial. Otherwise, unless the lyrics help to prove something important like motive or a unique method of killing, they should be inadmissible."
Criminal defense lawyer Seema Iyer, also a former prosecutor, echoed Callan's sentiments. Iyer felt strongly that the "probative value" of Skinner's lyrics was clearly outweighed by the unfair prejudice it caused him.
Here's the even more alarming news: The Skinner case is far from being unique. As the ACLU noted in a brief it filed with the New Jersey Supreme Court, they found 17 other cases where court's considered the admissibility of a defendant's rap lyrics. Astoundingly, judges ruled in favor of admitting the lyrics in 80 percent of those criminal trials. (A few were overturned on appeal.)
If criminal courts continue down this path, will comedians have to worry that their angry, ranting jokes may one day be used against them in a trial? Or what if country singer Carrie Underwood were on trial in the future for a violent act, would the court admit the lyrics of her 2005 song, " Before He Cheats," in which she sings: "Took a Louisville slugger to both headlights, slashed a hole in all four tires. Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats."
Michael Skolnik, editor in chief of the hip-hop focused publication Global Grind.com that spotlights hip hop culture, explained to me that rap lyrics should, "never be allowed as evidence in a court of law since the lyrics range from being metaphorical, to bragging, to literal to a form of escape."
Brown University Professor Tricia Rose, who the ACLU quoted in their brief, noted that rap is a form of expression with its own "artistic and poetic conventions" often featuring "metaphors and boasts," "overblown accounts" and "outrageous lies," with the goal being to weave a catchy and compelling story.
Let's be brutally honest: there's a racial component to rap lyrics being introduced into evidence. We can't ignore the reality that rap lyrics will be used almost exclusively in criminal trials with black defendants.
As Professor Rose instructively explained, "rap music is a black cultural expression that prioritizes Black voices from the margins of urban America." Brown noted that since its origins, rap music has, "articulated the pleasures and problems of Black urban life in contemporary America."
Michael Skolnik, editor in chief of the hip-hop focused publication Global Grind.com, also believes there's a racial aspect to these cases, pointing out that it's, "another example of the demonization of young black men for listening to rap music- or as in this case, writing rap music."
The New Jersey Supreme Court should rule that Skinner's lyrics are not admissible. The Court should also articulate clear guidelines for New Jersey trial judges that a defendant's' creative expressions-be they rap lyrics or a comic's jokes- should only be admissible if it's directly connected to the facts of the case. Anything less will result in innocent people being convicted of crimes based on their art, not on the law.

Small retaining wall needed here.

Shitty morning on the golf course. I was back on it in less than an hour.
In progress.
Before pic.
what is your work schedule like with working on the golf course and landscaping
Non stop 24-7. Basically 5:30am-1:30 at the course then work afterwards. This will be my last year at the course. It's hard to keep up. I need a day off.
i feel you on that one, i work 6:30-3pm then mowing mowing mowing, 6 calls yesterday alone and 3 approaches while mowing other yards. i'd like to learn a bit more on the landscaping side of things, if you ever need help with anything on that let me know, if i'm not mowing i'd be glad to help out just to learn more
At least your all right, and better sand trap than water...
I feel your pain on the working a job then mowing and building your business up afterwards. I used to attend the University full-time then mow after classes but man thats a drain to start your day at 2pm. I withdrew from the school and haven't looked back, ok maybe a glance or two, but business is growing and I am supporting my family so I cant complain.
Wish you the best of luck in the transition to full-time.

I had the chance this week to talk to some Republicans involved in the transition to Branstad administration and the significant changes that took place in the Iowa legislature. Though my friends were upbeat, they were also very serious about what might be expected in the next two years.
A lot of tactical issues will likely absorb most of the time for the Governor and the legislature, particularly with the Democrats still holding a majority in the Senate. Thus, all Iowans, particularly Republicans, need to manage expectations. Just how much constructive, positive change will take place is a matter of conjecture but managing expectations seems to be in order.
There are a lot of things taking place outside of Des Moines that will have influence on what goes on inside the legislative chambers, but the problems at home are not insignificant. Just how the legislature and Governor are going to make up for the shortfalls caused by the irresponsible acceptance of one-time funds from DC is likely to be the greatest challenge. Depending on who one talks to, that shortfall may amount to hundreds of millions of dollars.
Given the state of the economy here at home, revenues are likely to be down for at least the next two years, so the problems are more serious than one might have thought. Given the seriousness of these shortfalls, not much else is going to be done. Getting at tax reform, education reform, immigration legislation and government reorganization are not likely to get top billing—at least this year.
Another factor that surprised me a bit was that there seems to be a disturbing comfort level for incumbents from both parties, so expect to see friction occur when the new, fresh faces in both the House and Senate run headlong into the "old boy" network that has the expectation that the perks of office outweigh the costs of standing on principles.
Like the cartoon that displays the coyote and the sheepdog, party disagreements might be confined to the limited time legislators on the floor debating issues and voting. After the deals have been made, such activity is merely theater. One wonders how the interests of the citizens of Iowa are being served if the way things are now remains the way things will be in the future.
Like the movement in the nation to ban earmarks in the US Congress, the Iowa legislature ought to take up defunding lobbyists as the first order of business. Next, the freshmen in the legislature should make it clear that establishment, machine politics is not what the people in Iowa want—certainly not on the Republican side (maybe the Dems still see it that way). Business as usual will not cut it through another election cycle, particularly with the likely activism that will occur during a presidential election year.
Iowans are expecting courage, hard decisions and accountability in the legislature. To think that fellow citizens will accept a sop here and there is folly and an extremely risky strategy for anyone thinking they are going to cruise to election again in 2012.
With reapportionment taking place at the state and national level, a lot of politicians feeling safe and comfortable might need to reassess their career choices in a couple of years. For those who might have trouble giving up comfort for responsible leadership, Iowans are ready to help with the calculus. If one needs evidence, look no further than the judge retention vote.

In 2015, fitness centers and health clubs registered $24.2 Billion in revenue, and as health and fitness become more popular, fitness boot camps offer an alternative experience to the traditional gym or yoga class. They often emphasize intense, outdoor cardio exercise done in a group or team setting. Instructors inspire and encourage their attendees, advising each individual with nutritional information to help them accomplish their goal. If you're thinking about starting your own fitness boot camp, there are some things to consider:
1. Location:
The area should be convenient and easy to find. Furthermore, a nearby bathroom or changing area will make things easier on your customers.
2. Functionality:
Your location should take into consideration the space needed to perform the exercises, and whether or not neighboring businesses will be disrupted by your boot camp.
3. Put it in Ink!
Starting a new business can be a little overwhelming at first, but it doesn't have to be. The best way to avoid getting lost in the day-to-day affairs is to create a thorough fitness boot camp business plan to outline your finances, pricing, marketing efforts, short and long term goals, and everything else in between. If you don't know how to write a business plan, don't sweat it, there are plenty of great resources online to help you through the process, like this one from the Small Business Administration.
4. Marketing:
In the digital age, advertising your services has become easier and more cost effective. Social media outlets like Facebook and Yelp can help generate a buzz with the addition of word-of-mouth referrals. First and foremost, you need a good, catchy name to establish brand recognition. Here's a few we found:
Boot Camp L.A.
AYY! Fitness & Nutrition Program

Interest in 'Fitness Boot Camp' over time:
The truth is, naming a business can be frustrating and downright time consuming…
Your company name is important, there's no doubt about that, but it's really something you need to 'get out of the way' so you can focus on the nuts and bolts of the business. So the question is…
"How do these companies get such good names?"
One option is hiring a 'boutique' branding agency to handle this critical step, and this does NOT come cheap. Some of these branding agencies charge as much as $100,000 for a brand that SELLS tons of product…
Does it work?
Of course it does, but for a small business with a careful eye on its cash flow, dumping tens of thousands of dollars for a swanky agency to sit back in their plush offices and promise you the next Google could spell disaster.
This is what they WANT you to think:
"Our branding agency charges a lot because what we do is incredibly difficult."
It couldn't be further from the truth, and the truth is that there are a core set of branding principles that can be reliably and affordably applied to ANY branding effort…
…and Branditory has done it for thousands of businesses, for every industry imaginable, in over 20 different countries, for just $97…
You name it, we've named it. The names we come up with are just as good (we think a little better) as anything a high priced agency could provide.
This unbeatable price comes with unlimited revisions and optional logo design for just $70.
Don't believe it?

MILWAUKEE -- The quest for No. 82 will have to wait at least two more days.
A day after snapping a 20-year string of consecutive losing seasons, the Pittsburgh Pirates' quest to record the franchise's first winning season since 1992 was put on hold due to a 9-3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night.

Nixon meets Elvis
Of all the requests made each year to the National Archives for reproductions of photographs and documents, one item has been requested more than any other. It was neither the Bill of Rights or the Constitution of the United States, but the above photograph of Elvis Presley and Richard M. Nixon shaking hands on the occasion of Presley's visit to the White House.
Although Richard Nixon abhorred modern art, and even forbade its presence in the White House, his advisors told him that publicly supporting the arts would boost his image. As a result, Nixon oversaw a six-fold increase in funding for the National Endowment for the Arts and the Public Broadcasting System (PBS). [To Nixon's horror, these funds went to Erica Jong's novel of sexual liberation, Fear of Flying.] Nixon was also known for his star-filled parties at his "Western White House" in San Clemente, California, and for his association with glamorous personalities like the Reagans and Frank Sinatra. However, it was not Nixon who initiated this meeting. On the morning of December 21, 1970, Elvis Presley paid a visit to the White House, with a six-page letter of introduction written by himself.
In the letter, he requested a meeting with the President and asked that he be made a "Federal Agent-at-Large" in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. Presley also brought some gifts–a Colt 45 pistol and family photos. He was received at 12:30 pm, and received a thank-you note from the president, but the fictitious position of 'Federal Agent-at-Large' was not created for Presley, who himself would succumb to the influence of drugs less than seven years later.
You can see all memoranda and less famous pictures from the meeting here. Photos by White House photographer Oliver F. Atkins.

Is it poignant or ironic that Elvis asked to be a "Federal Agent-at-Large" in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs? I wonder did he really want to narc on dealers who were plaguing him, or was he looking for a carte blanche?

Being Sheriff is a hard job, even in a town like Midsummer. The law is the law, and when magic is thrown into the mix, everything gets more complicated. Kirby is lonely and worn out, and his latest unpleasant duty is contacting the brother of a recent suicide. Given the complications surrounding the tragedy, and just how loathed the deceased man was in Midsummer, meeting his brother is not something Kirby is any hurry to do.
But when he arrives, Merry is nothing like his deceased brother-nothing like anything Kirby has seen in a long time, and quite possibly a reason to feel things Kirby thought he'd never feel again.

Short, Sexy and Steamy!
Paul Moreys sex on a stick vocal chops!
All of it, it's only two hours long.
EVERYTHING! The man could recite the phone book and make it sexy.
Don't poke the brooding sheriff.
Kirby is the town Sheriff in Midsummer, he is also a pretty talented witch. He's been alone for a very long time, having met his true love when he was just a child, then losing him when they were teenagers in a car accident. Kirby can understand the pain of loss, so the last thing he wants to do is contact Kerry's twin brother Merry, and tell him his twin is dead. That he died on Kirby's watch.
When Merry roll's into town to settle his deceased brother's affairs, Kirby is immediately smitten with the little blonde that has a penchant for leather, lace, lipstick and nail polish. Kirby has always been attracted to blondes that can pull off the sexier side of the goth look, and Merry fits that bill to a T. The attraction is mutual, but the two supernatural creatures live eight hours apart. Will the bond that is growing be strong enough to go the distance?
Megan Derr and Paul Morey continue to carry this series of short stories with a wonderful marriage of dialogue and words. This book amped things up a notch from the last book though, thank god. We finally learn the reason why Kerry was cursed inside the city limits of Midsummer, and why while he and Merry were identical twins, they couldn't have been more opposite. It was a lot of fun listening to Merry tame the sometimes moody and often temperamental Sheriff that has mastered the art of scowling.
This one was short, sexy and steamy… my three favorite colors! Not only was the story well written and rich with content, it was flawlessly narrated by the sexiest voice on the planet, Paul Morey. I seriously think the man could sit down and read from the phone book and have me hanging off of every word, his voice is so damn sexy!
A must read if you are a fan of shifter stories, Derr's writing, Morey's vocal chops or just love a short, sexy read.

You totally ruined my planned comment with your first line stating that you are not looking for a boyfriend.
Actually, I was going to mention that I am looking for a sex partner, which is different from a girlfriend, so maybe I can fit that here.
God..I don't know what to say. Especially after having an exhausting day. There are um BLCU, BISU, BXXU,XXXU,BXXX etc. And then there's you. If someone wants to learn a language, he will have no tourble at all making the decision 90% of people on this planet would make. They would probably choose BLCU or whatever over you. I like tea too. So let's all drink tea instead of exchanging languages.
Actually I don't like tea at all. I have no idea why I said that.
JZ, that's a good idea. Although you seem to have realized I'm rather insincere in my attempts to bang people on this website, I would indeed be open to a "language for sex" exchange. Any takers? Girls, you can teach me whatever language you want, and I'll... uhm... bang the bejesus out of you. Sounds like a fair trade to me.
Minimy, 我怎麼能不知道呢?我老在這裡泡你,你老是你這輩子也不會跟我打炮,不是嗎?
Don't you guys ever get tired of of the verbal masturbation sessions that go on whenever a new post is made on here?
Hahahahaha ... Daniel, so this is "verbal masturbation", huh? Then I cannot help but wonder what is "verbal intercourse" and does it come with any contraception? Who can tell me?
I prefer Japanese tea over Chinese tea ...
I like beer.
Da fan,
1. Astroglide
2. Viagra
Minimy, ready when you are (retired).
I met someone from here accidentally in person before I ever did intentionally. If only some of the people I accidentally met were cuties trying to hook up ons.
I wish I could claim 'Verbal masturbation' as my own, but it comes a line from a song by Placebo that stuck with me from when I was a teenager.
Here, it means the messages people write to threads with no other reason than to pleasure themselves by promoting their own superior identity at the cost of the original poster.
I'm not against it in theory, I've done it myself and Dando does it regularly in a way that's consistently funny, but lately nearly every thread I open on this forum starts with 'Topic/Question/Request' and is followed by a series of 'Look at me!' posts, and it just gets tiring after the nth time someone masterfully links language-exchange to sex. I get it, I do, you're awesome, but try being awesome quietly for a bit, please?
And before I've hypocritically de-railed this thread, I will say to the original poster that I wish I was around Lido as I' m currently looking for the same thing here, but failing at finding decent people to practice with.
Hahahahaha ... Laban ... it sounds more like a doll (that drinks tea) than a real person ...


text: Take a picture, gallery, share, upload to picasa. On your computer, go to web albums dropbox, hit the download button and save it to your computer - see if windows can open it (windows picture and fax viewer). I can't get it to work. File size downloads as smaller than what web albums is saying it is. I can email myself the same file and open it fine (in this method file size is retained). I emailed the file to a nexus one user, confirmed the file was the exact same size, he saved it on his phone - gallery, share, upload to picasa, etc.. and he also can't open the picture once downloaded to his computer. Further testing: It only screws up portrait mode. I can open it in irfanview, rotate it and it's fine, but something in the upload/download process is hosing something. Curious if it's just this droid, if it's repeatable, and if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks!
