�Everybody was doing it,� he said about his closest friends and most people he knew.
His family knew vaguely that he was doing drugs and possibly abusing alcohol, but they never confronted him about it.
�I don�t know the whole situation (about Snead�s use of drugs), I�m not the kind of person he would tell that to,� said Sandra Ford, Snead�s sister. �He would hide that from me and he would never openly show me what he was doing.�
He never saw a negative outcome from using marijuana or methamphetamine. Marijuana and alcohol eased physical and emotional pain. Methamphetamine kept him up and active.
He could only recall one time when a friend of his was arrested for attempting to manufacture meth, but that was about the only time he saw any negative consequence for using the drug.
Snead, 43, has been arrested multiple times throughout his life had only once gone through drug addictions treatment.
�I fell through the cracks so many times that I thought I could just get away with it.�
In 2011 he was arrested for public intoxication. But he could still get away with using drugs while under treatment. Meth does not take long to leave the system, so Snead was still using meth while going under treatment, despite going through drug screenings every now and then.
He was still under treatment when he was involved in an accident that took the lives of Daniel Runion and David Anglemyer early the morning of June 7, 2012.
Runion, 19, and Anglemyer, 18, were riding their bikes east on C.R. 20 at about 5:50 a.m. They had just bought Anglemyer�s bike a few hours prior and were heading from Runion�s house to Anglemyer�s, in Goshen.
Snead said he had used meth the day before the accident. In the early morning of June 7 he drove his girlfriend to work release and was on his way back home when he fell asleep on the wheel.
�I started feeling a little tired, but I didn�t think I would fall asleep on the wheel. I had no idea that was going to happen.�
He remembers waking up from the impact of his car against a wall, but he doesn�t remember hitting the two teenagers. His first reaction was getting out of the car to check the damage.
�When I got out of the car and looked at the road I saw two people lying there.�
Snead doesn�t remember much of what happened next, although witnesses told police they saw Snead screaming and trying to help keep one of the teenagers alive before medics arrived.
Anglemyer died instantly after the accident of blunt force trauma. Runion was airlifted to Memorial Hospital in South Bend, where he died four hours after the accident.
Snead was taken to the hospital, where he was checked for any injuries from the crash. He also willingly gave a blood sample for the accident investigation.
Ford said her brother was taken to their mother�s house, where he lived for the next few weeks until he was arrested Aug. 30.
�He was so hurt and shaken by what had happened. He was in so much pain that he needed medication,� she said. �We could not leave him alone, he was suicidal.�
Snead was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder following the accident. He was prescribed two antidepressants as treatment. Inside the jail he refrains from showing his emotions to avoid being harassed by other inmates. At times he takes showers so he can have some time alone to cry.
Before the accident Snead did not seek counseling for prior events and disturbances in his life.
Snead admitted to having started using marijuana and alcohol at age 14 because it was viewed acceptable among his friends. Many other times he smoked or drank to �fit in� with his peers.
�(The drugs) scared me when I was younger but I kept using them because they changed my mood and they made me feel better.�
His personal life only made him vulnerable to falling into addictions.
Snead grew up in Elkhart with three sisters and a brother. His parents were in an abusive relationship that ended when his father and some of his siblings left to another state. He stayed in Elkhart with his mother and became the �man of the house� at an early age.
He had his first child, a girl, at age 19, but she died when she was only 3 months old of sudden infant death syndrome. A few years later his brother died. Snead stopped caring much about anything after that.
He started using meth at age 23 to get a stronger high. Meth causes increased activity and talkativeness, as well as decreased appetite and a general sense of well-being, according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse. Snead said the drug would make him good and active enough to complete menial tasks like cleaning his house. He said he never had to actually purchase it because it was always made available to him by the people he knew.
He never felt like he reached a low in his addictions, until the fatal accident last year. To him that was a turning point.
Snead will always live with his PTSD, said his attorney, Michelle Voirol. He will continue having nightmares about the accident and what resulted of it.
Snead pleaded guilty to two counts of causing the death of another while driving under the influence of a schedule II substance or its metabolite in the person�s blood Jan. 17. He was sentenced Feb. 21 to 18 years in prison, six years in alternative placement, and six years on probation. He is being held at the Elkhart County Jail waiting to be transported to the Indiana Department of Correction.
�The prosecution and myself worked very hard to come up with a solution that families could live with,� said Voirol. �And I know some of the family members wanted Daniel to receive the harshest penalty, but we believe that the sentence imposed was an appropriate sentence.�
Snead has tried to find the most appropriate words to communicate to the family of the victims.
�I would do whatever it took to make the pain go away. To make them feel better,� he said. �I know what it feels like to lose a child.�
Snead looks forward to getting treated for his addictions and taking some trade courses at the DOC.
What happens after that is up to him. A first attempt to rehabilitate Snead from his addictions failed when he continued using drugs even during the ongoing treatment.
�Rehabilitation didn�t happen with Daniel Snead and we need to find out why,� said Voirol in speaking about Snead�s public intoxication conviction. �Was it his fault? Yes, but (another question to ask is) what could the system have done to rehabilitate this man that it failed to do?�

Wish it was a little cheaper in price, but works as advertised. The rules work good. I was worried the app would have to stay open to make it turn on and off with a rule. It looks like the switch has some smarts and knows what time it is.

Great concept, but needs a lot of work.
This could be a great product - but the software is very buggy and unpolished. I bought two switches at my local Apple store and w This could be a great product - but the software is very buggy and unpolished. I bought two switches at my local Apple store and was excited to bring these home and try them out. I setup the first device with little trouble - but it takes an extremely long time "looking for devices" for the device to show up in the list. For a while I thought something was wrong, and then finally it showed up and seemed to work fine. But then it asked me to update the firmware - so I did and that's when everything got really bad.
I waited about 30 minutes but the app still said the 'updating firmware'. So I called Belkin and got someone on the phone and after 30 minutes of resetting with the support guy he just said the device was bricked and that I should return it to the Apple store. So I brought it back to the store and swapped it out for a new one.
When I got home I tried to set up the new device. The app crashed in the middle of the install. Ug. Then I started the app again, and the 'spinner' just kept spinning and after 5 minutes I quit the app and restarted it. Finally it got me back to the list of devices, and after a few more minutes it finally updated and both my switches were there. They seem to work ok now.
But then I went outside and walked a few blocks away so I could still see my window. I wanted to try the remote feature over 4G. That didn't work at all. I tried to refresh the list and then both devices disappeared. I waited a few minutes and nothing. I finally gave up and walked to the store. On the way back I tried again this time the devices showed up and could be remotely switched on/off via 4G. Just very inconsistent.
Now the app asked me to update the firmware again on the switches. Well forget that. I am on the verge of returning both of them. Right now they seem stable but overall a very poor experience - more like beta status - any more trouble and I'm bringing them right back. I'm really disappointed that apple would let such a buggy, beta product into their store. …- Written by Mark P from San Francisco

Ozone (O3) is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms. This molecule is created when ultraviolet radiation (sunlight) enters the stratosphere and smashes into oxygen molecules (O2), breaking them down into individual oxygen atoms (O). The lone atomic oxygen quickly combines with nearby O2 molecules to form ozone.
Although ozone is found in trace amounts throughout the atmosphere, it is not evenly distributed. Approximately 90 percent of all ozone is contained in the region of the atmosphere known as the stratosphere, which is situated between 15 and 50 km above the Earth's surface. The region below the stratosphere, known as the troposphere, is where our weather phenomena take place. The region of the stratosphere that contains higher concentrations of ozone is generally referred to as the ozone layer (approx. 24 km above the earth's surface).
The ozone layer is thinnest in the tropics and denser towards the poles, though there are large seasonal fluctuations.
Ozone plays a central role in both tropospheric and stratospheric chemistry: it is an important greenhouse gas and the ozone layer acts as a natural filter, absorbing most of the sun's biologically harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer would lead to an increase in UV radiation down at the earth's surface, where it could disrupt biological processes and damage a number of materials.
In the 1970s, scientists realised that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), related halogen compounds, compounds containing bromine and nitrogen oxides (NOx) could all deplete the ozone layer. CFC's are a common industrial product used in refrigeration systems, air conditioners, aerosols, solvents and in the production of some types of packaging. Nitrogen oxides are a by-product of combustion processes, e.g. aircraft emissions.
However, it was the discovery of a hole in the ozone layer which occurs each spring over Antarctica that focused world attention on the problem and the possible impact that human activities could have on life and human health, leading to unprecedented global action. Through the Vienna Convention on the Protection of the Ozone Layer in 1985, governments committed themselves to protecting the ozone layer and to co-operating with each other in scientific research to better understand atmospheric processes.
The thickness of the ozone layer has been measured for decades at a number of stations using ground-based measurements like spectrophotometers and upper-air in situ measurements with balloon sondes. Those measurements constitute a long-term database of ozone history, but the geographical coverage is incomplete since large regions like Africa and the oceans were left out.
Ozone has been measured using satellites ever since the early 1960s, but only about 15 years ago did the coverage and resolution improve to a point where satellite measurements of atmospheric ozone could become a useful tool in ozone layer studies. A major advantage of satellite measurements is the ability to gather data in remote areas.
Satellite ozone data are mainly used for monitoring the global and vertical distribution of ozone. The vertical distribution of ozone in the atmosphere is an important piece of information for climate study and climate change, while information on total ozone can help to forecast the weather.

A formal complaint has been filed with the Allen County Ethics Commission that accuses two county officials of a conflict of interest in connection with a traffic stop earlier this month.
Philip Pease, a former county information technologies employee, alleges that Sheriff Ken Fries and Councilman Paul Moss, both Republicans, violated county regulations by having a phone conversation early June 2 that resulted in Moss being allowed to leave the stop on Dupont Road without being subjected to a test to measure whether he had been drinking.
Moss told The News-Sentinel he was unsure why a county officer stopped his 2011 Cadillac, although he said he may have swerved while texting a friend of his daughter's. Moss said he was picking up his daughter and several of her friends from a bar because he did not want them to drive, and said he had nothing alcoholic to drink for several hours before the stop.
Moss said he called Fries not to seek special treatment but to speed up the testing process, which had been delayed because a Fort Wayne Police officer called to the scene had been diverted to another case. Moss said he would have been willing to go downtown for a formal test, but said he declined the field sobriety test because it might be inaccurate.
Fries has insisted that he also did nothing wrong and merely allowed his officer on the scene to use his discretion.
Pease, however, said Moss' council authority over Fries' budget created a conflict of interest in violation of the county's 2005 ethics policy. Moss also had a financial reason to avoid a situation that might have jeopardized his business or political career, Pease contends.
Commission attorney Tom Hardin said the board could consider the complaint at its July 20 meeting but was uncertain what authority, if any, the Commission might have. As elected officials, however, the board would not be able to fire either Moss or Fries.

Yes, you heard it right! IBE is releasing a new PH to the market.
We have had many great products in the past, but there is nothing and has never been anything offered quite like Boladrol. The potential for this compound is outstanding and a perfect bulking agent for the upcoming winter. This is a very wet compound that will require PCT and is strongly recommended to stack with a good cycle support product.
The new product Boladrol is 7, 17-alpha-dimethyl-androsten-3, 17-diol (Boladiol), the diol version of the steroid Bolasterone.
60 caps, 2mg per cap, Ready in 2-3 weeks!
Bolasterone is the 7, 17 dimethylated version of testosterone and has the reputation as being one of the most potent steroids ever sold. Bolasterone has an anabolic to androgenic ratio that shows it to be 6x more anabolic than methyltestosterone and 3x as androgenic.
Boladrol will be best compared to Anadrol if not stronger. This PH only requires a few milligrams to see strong anabolic and androgenic effects which we were very excited to see first hand during our alpha testing of this compound. Users have been reported to gain up to a pound a day but also not coming off as quick as reported with Anadrol gains.
We have already sent out about 15 bottles to beta-testers and we are still looking for some tester/loggers to try this amazing compound before the projected 2-3 week release date of Bolodrol to the public. We are giving away 30+ bottles total to our beta-test groups to get the best data logged as possible while the caps, labels and bottles are finishing up for our big release. If any of you guys are interested in beta-testing contact me via PM because we still have a few bottles left to send out.

Former South Surrey swimmer Richard Weinberger notched up a bronze medal for Canada Friday at the 2012 London Olympic Games following a tight race in the men's open-water marathon.
The 10-kilometre race, which took place in London's Hyde Park, saw Oussama Mellouli of Tunisia take the top spot, finishing with a time of 1 hour, 49 minutes and 55.1 seconds. Thomas Lurz of Germany took silver, coming in 3.4 seconds behind Mellouli and Weinberger rounded out the podium finishes coming in just 1.8 seconds behind Lurz.
The win cements the 22-year-old Weinberger as one of the best in the world in the sport, which comes as no surprise to former coach Brad Dingey of the South Surrey Pacific Sea Wolves.
Having worked with Weinberger during the Olympian's time on the Sea Wolves, Dingey saw from an early age that Weinberger had what it takes to make it on the world stage.
"Richard is just a fantastic kid, from the time I've known him even before he was in our program," said Dingey following Weinberger's win. "He was always worked really hard in the pool and always did it with a real sense of fun. None of the stuff he was ever doing ever seemed like work for him and I think that's always been one of his hallmarks."
According to Dingey, Weinberger trained with the Sea Wolves for about four years before heading off to Victoria after high school. During his time at the club, Weinberger showed a dedication and work ethic that Dingey knew could carry him to the Olympics.
Dingey also noted that Weinberger was at the club during the same time as fellow Olympians Brittany Reimer, and Hilary Caldwell.
"Within that training group we had kids who weren't afraid to work really hard and what Richard did was make it fun for everybody," said Dingey. "It didn't matter if it was 4:30 in the morning or 7:30 at night, Richard always did it with a smile on his face. He was there to work hard and have a lot of fun."
As for the future, Dingey predicts Weinberger will be remain one of the sports top competitors for years to come.
"He's the youngest guy in that Olympic field and so really, the only thing standing between Richard and being consistently very successful at this is that level of experience," said Dingey. "I think Richard probably does all of the work if not more than those athletes and he proved that he's easily the best in Canada and one of the best in the world."
Weinberger's medal was Canada's 17th of the 2012 London Olympic Games.

File modes are the filesystem permission bits for who can read, write or execute a file.
In DiredMode you can set these with M
). TarMode and ArchiveMode have the same M
key, in those cases operating on archive members.
In Lisp there are functions file-modes
to get the modes and set-file-modes
to set them.
If you're an old-school Unix user and just want to go "chmod 660" etc while editing a file, then you might like the following M-x chmod
(defun chmod (mode) "Set the mode of the current file, in octal, as per the chmod program. If the current file doesn't exist yet the buffer is saved to create it." (interactive "sMode (3 or 4 octal digits): ") (or (string-match "[0-3]?[0-7][0-7][0-7]" mode) (error "Invalid mode")) ;; make sure the file exists (unless (file-exists-p (buffer-file-name)) (save-buffer)) (set-file-modes (buffer-file-name) (string-to-number mode 8)))
If you want "a+r" etc as accepted by the actual chmod
program then you're probably best to just run that. Lisp:misc-cmds.el has such a command.
But "a+r" and stuff is for whimps. A real man, or a real woman, or a real furry creature from Alpha Centauri should always use octal!
You can set the execute bit on a script with M-x executable-set-magic
. It adds or sets the #!
interpreter line at the start and sets up to make the file executable when you save it. You can customize which bits are set using the executable-chmod
variable. The default is 73 (0111 octal) adding executablility for everyone, you could change it to 64 (0100 octal) to do that only for yourself.
ShellMode has C-c :
) as a shortcut, prompting just for one of common shells (sh
, csh
, bash
, etc).
See also MakingScriptsExecutableOnSave.
To make your file filename
readable by just you and your group, use:
(set-file-modes filename #o440) ; equivalent to Linux permission "0440"
The assigned mode, in this case octal 440
, must be an integer. The lisp functions file-modes
and file-attributes
can be used to recover the current mode settings. Be aware that Windows filesystems offer less resolved access control, so the example presented may not work as intended in a Windows environment.

Like a slow boat ride down a river on a sunny day...lovely
By VelvetBullit (1 review) , 16 Jul 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
This is a gentle lovely film for adults and children alike. Based on The Borrowers (tiny people who live hidden in houses of big people) by Mary Norton, it concentrates on Arrietty, the young daughter of the borrower family. Lovely animation, with a great attention to detail, the plants and flowers were especially good. I really enjoyed this film, saw the subtitled version, although its now available dubbed.- Was this review helpful to you?

A Little Work of Art
By a customer , 11 Mar 2013A really lovely depiction of 'The Borrowers'. So beautiful, I watched it twice so that I could enjoy the almost perfect representations of both nature and the interiors of the house. As an adult who first read 'The Borrowers' many, many years ago and who knows the story very well, I was surprised to find myself so emotional at the end of the movie (even at the second viewing). Beautiful AND Touching.- Was this review helpful to you?

Ghibli Genius.
By LoveFilms23 (4 reviews) , 04 Dec 2012One of the best, if not the best in my opinion, from studio Ghibli. A joy to the senses, such a pleasure to watch. I like the Pixar films, but this is such magic, worked by the creative genius of man. Highly recommended for those who love animation.- Was this review helpful to you?

The Borrowers by any other name
By Nootlin (134 reviews) from London , 28 Nov 2012Ghibli movies are keeping the art of movie animation alive in an era dominated by Pixar. The Japanese company make gorgeous, sweet-natured movies, often with strong moral tales at their heart. Arriety looks great, no question, however when it comes to the simple story, it's Ghibli-lite compared to their other movies with similar themes of nature and family and survival: Nausicaa / Kiki's Delivery Service.
I'm not sure why Arriety wasn't called The Borrowers, as I'm sure it would find more viewers with a more descriptive and well-known title. (Maybe the main character rather than the book title is more well-known in Japan...) It is a perfect book for the people at Ghibli to draw upon, fitting neatly with their more favoured themes, I just think they missed a trick in not making this story more involved and interesting.
That said, it's a sweet film, and yet another Ghibli movie with a strong female lead. A fun but unfulfilling watch, recommended to families with young children (stricly 'U' all the way), and especially young daughters.- Was this review helpful to you?

The looming fiscal cliff has been a constant reminder for millions of taxpayers that tax returns checks won't be as much as they were in the past.
"This could really create a lot of havoc. It already is going to, its just how much havoc is it going to create? That's the question," said Carlos Lopez, CEO of Lopez Tax Services.
Lopez said there are several changes expected to take place starting Tuesday. And while it may cause some headaches there is a small light at the end of tunnel.
Lopez said there are several things you can do to reduce your taxes before the new year.
First, maximize your 401K or IRA. "Look into your retirement planning to try to lock away a little extra if you can," said Lopez. He said this may be the ideal time to reduce your tax rate.
Another option, clean out your closet, garage and attic and donate what you don't need. Charity donations of over $250 can be a write off, and helps you increase your charitable contribution for 2012, that will help decrease your tax rate. Remember to always keep the receipt of your donated item.
Thirdly, for anyone who owns a house, try and make an extra interest payment now. "If you can afford it, I know it's the holidays," said Lopez.
Lopez said capital gains will increase so if you own stock that has appreciated value this may be the year to sell it.
Bottom line: "Prepay any taxable expenses this year and make sure you keep receipts," said Lopez.
For any business owners planning on purchasing equipment, doing so before the end of the year, is ideal to get a higher write off. Right now, businesses are allowed to write off up to $500,000 but that is expected to go down substantially next year.
Also, if your employer requires you to have a cell phone or they require you to pay certain expenses, its a good idea to prepay some of those now.
Experts also say if you are in your first four years of undergraduate school, to pay your January tuition by the 31st.

Digital should not remain a barrier for diyAudio beginners. Before the digital age, diyAudio was about designing a PCB and soldering through-hole components on it.
Nowadays, diyAudio encompasses digital. It requires designing a PCB hosting SMD (Surface Mounted Devices), and it requires creating a DSP (Digital Signal Processing) program. Those are the two new difficulties.
Ten years ago, most diyAudio enthusiasts would have failed building a digital audio system from scratch. The situation has changed. There are more and more hobbyists dealing with 32-bit microcontrollers. There are more and more hobbyists overcoming the SMD difficulty.
Here is a digital audio system built from scratch. Diptrace got used for drawing the schematic and converting it to a PCB.
The PIC32MX2 gets debugged and programmed using Microchip MPLAB ICD 3 ($189.99) . A simple experimental application would read the stereo audio entering the WM8731, apply some processing like filtering, equalizing, splitting, dynamic compression or expansion, then deliver the processed audio on the WM8731 stereo outputs.

Art palette
A local artist showed off her talent at Wallace Community College Monday.
Jeannie Maddox has been painting since she was a kid.
She's known for her photo-realist paintings.
Maddox talked to aspiring artists about what it takes to be a painter.
"I would say you have to stay with it. You don't paint when the mood hits you, you set up certain hours every day and you work at completing those hours."
Maddox says an average painting takes her about 3-months to finish.

Meeting your customers' expectations
In many ways, developments in electronic commerce are setting the standards for the rest of the business world to follow. Nowhere is this truer than in the area of customer relations.
Doing business online has a number of advantages for customers and clients:
- A personalised environment over which they have a high degree of control
- Easy access to detailed product/service information
- The space to 'browse' at their leisure, free from the intrusions of predatory sales staff
- Extended choice and the ability to personalise products and services
- Fast and efficient transactions
- Increasingly sophisticated after sales support services
As customers and clients grow used to these benefits, they are coming to expect them across the board - even in more conventional business settings such as the shop and the office. Today's customers and clients demand more recognition, more choice, and more control over the purchasing process.
Customer driven strategies
Businesses that want to survive in the new millennium must develop customer driven rather than product or service driven strategies:
- Products and services must be designed to meet the specific needs of the customer/client
- Impersonal, mass marketing must give way to 'permission marketing,' in which the prospect has a say in what information he or she receives
- Traditional, predatory sales techniques must be replaced by 'consultative selling,' in which the customer is treated more as a partner than as prey
These trends are set to continue throughout what has been dubbed the 'Customer century'. Businesses will ignore them at their peril.

Every ounce of their art has that distinct Massive Black flavor of awesomeness, which translates beautifully in the pages of Ballistic Publishing's Massive Black Volume 2 [2] -- a visual tour de force that chronicles many of their artistic achievements from 2008-2012.
Massive Black Volume 2 shows the evolution from concept to completion in everything from the biggest games, movies, TV shows, and properties known today. Game players and game artists alike will be enthralled at their work for such titles as the huge Suckerpunch's "InFamous 2"; Konami/Climax Studio's brilliant "Silent Hill: Shattered Memories": and the recent "Starhawk" from Incognito/Lightbox. There are hundreds of individual character, vehicle, weapon and creature designs to flick through and nurture your own ideas.
There is also much for movie fans and movie-makers, with Massive Black's work on the "Transformers" films, and their toy designs on G.I. Joe, which influenced the content of things in the film. For those interested in how to make big TV campaigns, check out their work with Coco pops, V-Energy Drink and "Dancing with the stars". There's all this, and much, much more to be found in the 208 pages of Massive Black volume 2.
For the serious lover of art, Massive Black 2 is also available in an exclusive collector's Limited Folio Edition. Limited to only 400 copies, it features a White Cromwell Bonded Leather and has Silver Foil for the cover and spine, with a larger than normal full colour tip-on. All of the text on the cover and spine are silver foil. It has a matching hand-crafted presentation case with a ribbon to easily remove or place the Folio Edition in its box. Rounding-off this Limited Folio Edition is an individually-numbered and personally-signed certificate by Massive Black. The Special Edition cover uses White Cromwell Bonded Leather and has Silver Foil for the cover and spine, with a larger than normal full colour tip-on. All of the text on the cover and spine are silver foil.
EXCLUSIVE A3 POSTER & Massive Black Vol 1 Slip cased Edition
Limited to those who buy both Massive Black 1 and 2 Folio Editions, is an incredibly rare poster, which features imagery from the upcoming game "Zombie Playground," and is signed by Massive Black artists. They will also receive a brand new copy of Massive Black vol 1 (slip cased edition). Another A3 poster will be given exclusively to the first 200 buyers of any Edition of Massive Black vol 2. It features stunningly complex artwork from "Transient" by the wildly talented Justin 'Coro' Kaufman, Art Director and Co Founder at Massive Black.
ALSO AVAILABLE: Massive Black Volume 1
To complete the collection, we've delved into the best-selling Massive Black Volume 1 [3] to create Limited Folio [4], and Special Leather Editions [5]. These gems for collectors will be in black leather to perfectly complement the white of Volume 2.
Massive Black is owned, operated and championed by artists. This book is the second volume of work as a studio available in print. Be inspired by Massive Black Volume 2, and learn what it takes to become an art studio of the highest order.

Matte Jersey Floral Tee
Item# 5056719
Sorry, this item is no longer available!
- Fluid matte jersey in modern watercolor floral print
- Flattering draped neck looks great under a jacket or cardi
- Versatile style can be worn out or tucked in
- Lightweight and packable, great for travel
- 100% Polyester
- Machine wash, gentle cycle.
- Imported
Better than the picture...
The picture used to advertise this floral tee does not do it justice. If paired with a pair of dark gray or black pants and a cute pair of sandals, it makes a wonderful work outfit or transitions nicely as an evening outfit. Silky fabric lays well and it is long enough to tuck it in for a polished look.

Debugging conference anti-harassment policies

Yes, it could be interpreted as an unterminated recursion.

That's even worse!
Posted Feb 1, 2011 19:15 UTC (Tue) by dneary (subscriber, #55185) [Link]
I didn't say I was offended. Angry is what I am.
You're not me. You don't get to decide what does & does not offend me. And don't try to impose your world view of what should & should not be offensive on me.
My position: conference organisers should agree on a standard, and adhere to it. Now & again something (like mpesce's presentation) will be in a grey area. The standard will get recalibrated, one way or another. People uncomfortable with the standard won't go to the conference. Companies uncomfortable with the standard won't sponsor. Some attendees will get offended at the conference. And that's fine. Because the standard was known, agreed on, publicised, and adhered to by attendees, presenteres and organisers.
And if people take offense, and something is in a grey area, then apologise - it was not intended, I understand you were offended, this does fall under the policy, I'm sorry. It won't happen again. We're going to tighten the loophole so that people know where they stand next year.
And if you notice, that's exactly what happened - my compliments to Mark & the organisers.
The *only* people turning this into the mud fight are the people who are complaining that someone should take offense in the first place.
> Is there any way your post can be interpreted as anything but > straightforward hypocrisy?
Apparently so.

>You're not me. You don't get to decide what does & does not offend me. And don't try to impose your world view of what should & should not be offensive on me.
Is this a parody? Have I been trolled? Or do you somehow not see that what you are saying applies precisely to your own behaviour?
>The *only* people turning this into the mud fight are the people who are complaining that someone should take offense in the first place.
You are joking? If not, your hypocrisy is staggering.

Let me try once more to explain. I feel a little misunderstood, even though I feel like I've been clear here.
Taking offense is a very subjective act.
It's entirely possible for me to offend someone without meaning to - it happens all the time because of cultural differences, or when people have different expectations of a situation.
In that situation, I tend to apologise, because I don't like offending people. It might be appropriate to just explain that no offense was intended, but not apologise. What is not OK is getting upset with the person because they were offended.
Now, let's transfer to this specific situation. I looked at the slides. I'm not offended by the slides, but I can certainly see how some people would feel uncomfortable with the bondage imagery. Apparently you are also not offended by the slides. Some people were.
Let's give a name to a hypothetical person who was offended - Anne. Anne comes from a conservative catholic family, and changes the channel on the TV any time scantily clad women appear on the screen. Anne is a 35 year old free software developer, mother of 2, big into her Ruby, and at her first tech conference. Anne didn't really like the playful S&M photo - it was outside her comfort zone. The language bothered her a bit, but you know, she can live with it. The road sign was funny. But Anne felt really uncomfortable with the lesbian bondage photo. And everyone around her seems to have no problem with it - they're well into the mood. So Anne feels out of place.
These are certainly sexualised images in public, and thus covered by the anti-harrassment policy.
Now, Anne's not the type of person to go blogging & tweeting afterwards, but (in considerable evolution on the part of our community) there are others who will.
My point is: it's not my place to tell Anne to get a life, that it's her problem. Anne felt uncomfortable, and now as an individual, I have a choice how to deal with that. I can deal with that by saying "Anne, you know, you're really not the type of person we were expecting", or I can say "I'm so sorry - we're making a real effort to reach outside our usual constituency, and we really did not want this to happen", or I can say "Anne, you're more than welcome here, but this kind of thing is to be expected - Mark was pushing everyone out of their comfort zone in some way".
Whatever I do, the fact that offense was caused cannot be undone by telling Anne to get a life (as I saw on Twitter), or calling her a "prude" (as I saw on the LCA chat list).
Have I cleared up any confusion on what my position actually is?
> You are joking? If not, your hypocrisy is staggering.
As Inigo Montoya said to Vizzini, "you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means".

"Let me try once more to explain. I feel a little misunderstood, even though I feel like I've been clear here."
In your story, you are conflating the fact that Anne originally took offence, with the subsequent behaviour of Anne or others, complaining about that fact and and demanding that something be done about it.
I don't think any reasonable person is annoyed or offended by the former; only the latter when it is taken to excess (where 'excess' is obviously subjective).
By all means we should reassure Anne that she is welcome and safe the third of your suggestions seems best to me.
But what do we do about the people outside with pitchforks, who seem to be talking about the presenter's behaviour as if it were an actual physical assault? And who then turn on people who calmly express their concerns about that reaction, saying that those people are also causing people like Anne to feel "threatened, hurt and upset", and applying cheap ad hominem labels.
Please, do not conflate annoyance with the pitchfork mob, with annoyance at Anne for her original fragility.
Going off at a slightly different tangent, I'd observe that I don't want to live in a world where I am never challenged and made to feel uncomfortable either intellectually, religiously, emotionally or in other ways. That way lies boredom, complacency, fragility and intolerance.
We have words for people who have never really been challenged in any of those ways, and learned to take those challenges in their stride.
They include "child", "patient", and "fundamentalist".

very true, yet you seems to feel very comfortable in making sure that _I_ won't be able to enjoy such material in a conference anymore because _you_ were offended.... funny how that argument seems to be a one way street for you.
"Because the standard was known, agreed on, publicised, and adhered to by attendees, presenteres and organisers." Clearly not. this thread being a case in point.
"The *only* people turning this into the mud fight are the people who are complaining that someone should take offense in the first place." These people reacted to an aggression. I'm pretty sure most of them don't give a damn if someone take offense but they do care when that someone lobby to deprive them of content because of their 'religion^Hsensibility'.
No one was chained to his chair, each could have leave the room at any time. But no, that fundamental freedom is not enough, they want to make sure that no-one could see what _they_ consider 'inappropriate'. oh, and that is not a monopoly of such conference: http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2011/01/magazine-co...

Tried to e-mail them and no response since yesterday, $1,800.00, for all collectors out there, I'd avoid that auction.

Community by Design | Creating a Place to Belong
When designing campus residences, it's easy to get caught up in location, room design and amenities. Yet just as important is the wealth of research that shows us how buildings can help students develop the sense of connection and community identity they need to thrive.
Engaging students on campus has much to do with programmatic decisions, but a physical environment that is designed to help students connect advances the sense of community and makes programming more effective. (click the pdf above for the entire article)

Well President Obama just moments ago calling on congress to act -- -- -- the fiscal -- The president says he's optimistic.
Modestly optimistic that is that a deal can be done here's the president.
I still -- -- get this -- -- the right thing to do for families.
For businesses and for our entire economy.
The hour for immediate action is here.
It is now.
We're now the point where in just four days every American's tax rates are scheduled to go by wall.
Every American's paycheck.

Considerably smaller.
And that would be the wrong thing to do.
Well no kidding we've been telling you that for weeks.
Look I think at the ended the day Democrats and Republicans alike should renamed their parties the procrastinate nation parties.
That's because like a lot of college freshman they've left their work until the last minute.
Most notable of course 800 billion dollar fiscal clip that we been talking about.
800 million dollars from expiring bush -- -- tax cuts -- major across the board spending cuts to pentagon in domestic programs.
Sure there's been a lot of promises we're gonna do something we got more tonight but it hasn't happened yet.
It's not like the deadline comes as a surprise to anybody at all the least of all congress.
They -- the ones who extended the bush tax cuts originally passed back in 2001.
To 2010 and then 2012.
So for two years now they've not only issue was looming and they chose to do nothing at all.
But that's not the only thing that's lame duck congress has to do before the end of the year.
A five year farm bill passed last summer to help farmers hit by the drought has to be extended.
Into the next year -- past and if they do nothing.

RescueTime, Save Me from Myself!
It started where it always does, with me wishing for more time. Since 24 hours a day is all any of us get, I'd need to be more efficient. Enter RescueTime, software that records, in a very Big Brotherish way, where you spend your time on your computer. As you use Word or Excel, shop at zappos.com, or play Farmville on Facebook, RescueTime is running in the background, mercilessly recording ever minute of it.
Initially I thought it was cool. The very first day, RescueTime awarded me a blue ribbon and told me I was in the top two percent of users—oh, the rush! But it turned out I hadn't properly launched the program the day before, and those stellar results were only for the previous five minutes.
I have several computers I use throughout the day for different projects. Every time I returned to the computer on which I'd installed the software, RescueTime demanded to know where I'd been. The default responses include "Leisure" and "Other work" and the program allows you to customize. (I created a category called "Doggy management," since I have a high maintenance dog.)
Often it was tough to be accurate. On a normal day, I might be away from my main computer for four hours, during which I've worked on a client's project, thrown meat in the crock pot, and played tennis. There's no way to log those activities individually, unless you remember to return to your computer between each one.
Furthermore, I sometimes found myself responding to the constant "where have you been, young lady?" like a recalcitrant teenager, clicking on the "None of your business (don't log this time)" button, even when the time had been spent productively. While this tactic was personally gratifying, it did not help my productivity score.
To its credit, RescueTime did curtail my Facebook habit. I work alone and Facebook is to me what the water cooler is to office workers. RescueTime noticed when I lingered there too long (something you can set in the preferences) and notified me. I learned how to go to Facebook, skim my friends' status updates, comment on a few, and leave. No more disappearing down the rabbit hole!
That worked great until a friend emailed me a link to Superwolf Ogles, a Facebook page written by a cat who is in an open relationship and has political leanings (Meo-ism).
Impossible to resist, right? I took a quick peek. Soon I was looking at a picture of a young woman named Steffani sitting on the Great Wall of China, and then at wedding photos of another complete stranger.
RescueTime waggled its Big Brother finger at me, but, already on my way to the video clip of Jim and Pam's wedding dance (on "The Office"), I just sneered. The only one who can rescue my time is still me.

New Summerfield boys trounce Panthers by 72 points
Case Wilkerson, a 6-foot-5 sophomore post, poured in 25 points on 11-21 (52.4%) shooting from the field to propel the Hornets of New Summerfield to a 109-37 blowout victory over East Texas Christian Academy of Tyler Tuesday night at Hornet Gymnasium.
The Hornets improved to 5-3 with the win, while ETCA fell to 0-8.
McCown named NFC Offensive Player of the Week
Jacksonville native Josh McCown has been named as the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 14 of the NFL campaign.

Lady Hornets get 21 from Saurez to blast ETCA, 37-16
Tanya Saurez, New Summerfield's sophomore point guard, gave East Texas Christian Academy fits on both ends of the floor Tuesday night, with the Lady Panthers inability to keep the quick and speedy Saurez in check having a lot to do with New Summerfield being able to etch out a 37-16 decision over the young ladies from Tyler.
Athens strikes fast to top Tribe, 80-59
Athens' Anthony Sanders was the District 15-3A Most Valuable Player last season.
He is making a case to earn that honor once again as a four-point play by Sanders ignited Athens to 80-59 victory over Jacksonville Tuesday evening, which gave the No. 23-ranked Hornets their fourth victory of the season over a Class 4A team.

In a low scoring affair, Brook Hill hopped out to a 23-13 halftime lead over cross town rival Bullard and then made the advantage stand as the Guard (5-1) put away the Panthers, 43-34, Saturday on the final day of the Tommy Young Boys Varsity Classic, which was hosted by Brook Hill.
The Guard moved to 5-1 with the victory, while the Panthers slipped to 5-2 on the year.
McCown has career game as Bears drub Dallas, 45-28
As a young boy growing up in Jacksonville Josh McCown followed the Dallas Cowboys, just as many East Texas youth have done for decades.
On Monday night the Dallas Cowboys had the opportunity to check out McCown, who was making his fifth-consecutive start as quarterback of the Chicago Bears.
And what the Cowboys saw from the 34-year-old McCown could have very easily had a nauseating effect on them.

On a unseasonably cold December Saturday in Bossier City, the Jacksonville College Lady Jaguars warmed things up inside the Health and Physical Education Complex at Bossier Parish Community College by roasting the Lady Cavaliers, 71-56, giving head coach Leasa Ailshie her first-career Texas Eastern Conference victory.
