For Constellation I filled a 4 foot length of PVC pipe with lead bird shot. It weights in at 42 pounds. It has two 1/2 i.d. tubes through it with SS connector nuts friction fit inside. A SS socket-head bolt threads into the nuts from below. SS threaded rods drop through aluminum tubes in the hull and thread into the connector nuts from the above. I'm going to have a socket head welded to the top of the rod, but there's a nut there for the time being.
You'll find this arrangement very similar to the SC&H models and to the mods DanL made to his Syren
The point is you can easily remove 40+ pounds from your model when you transport and move it. That's a lot of weight and inertia and it can make a difference in how much damage is done if you bump into something holding a 30 pound model compared to a 70 pound model. It also gets most of your weight deeper than is possible by putting it IN the hull, while adding only about 3" to her draft. No molten lead casting, not expensive, and made from easily obtained materials. I'll be painting mine black, BTW.
As for Wawona's finish: I vote to make her look like what she is - a lumber schooner - paint her.
|Jul 09, 2010, 08:13 PM
My wife and son say DON"T paint it, I said but it needs paint to look scale, So They told me to leve it as is for at lease one year so every one can see the work I put into It, so I agreed.
That is the same thng I had see done some where on the boards, it may have been your thread, it's removeabal I like that, I'm sure after all the rigging,fittings ETC. It will take less weight to bring her to the water line.

Re: paint, sounds like a fair solution, Roger! I would be torn myself... scale vs. being able to see the nice planking.

Uff, man, she is just beautifull. I would be torn between painting and the so beautifull wood. If it were my boot, she wood stay naked. Your wood work is so beautifull.
|Jul 09, 2010, 08:54 PM
Thanks guys
It wouldbe hard for me to pain it. there are 6 thin coats of epoxy on the hull, yes sanded smooth between each coat. Maybe thats why there were no leaks at the float test.

If it is just straight epoxy, you might consider a clear coat with UV protection... Varnish or exterior Polyurethane.
Epoxy will haze and loose clairity after a while.
(Clear coat would have to be sanded before paint... which would be a good reason to keep it clear finish)
|Jul 10, 2010, 09:56 AM
I would normaly shoot with clear coat, but it will be painted in a year, I try to build to scale, she won't look to bad painted green, will she? Well thats the color that was put on her in Seatle at the port Museum, I beleve that she just had tar over her hull to help seal her, and didn't have a proper paint job, they built this type of ship to work not to be pretty.

Green won't look bad. that is a surprize that it was green... would have thought black.
Thayer, down here in the SF bay area is black with a little bit of trim. If you ever make it down here, that is an absolute must see... the recent restoration on it is amazing.
|Jul 10, 2010, 09:12 PM
Black would be the right color for that era. I watched the rebuild on the web site for the Maritime Museum. there are lots of pictures of the rebuild. It was in pretty bad shape when they started.

I'e been laying down the decks , and thought " I wonder if other wood boat builders use these" that is a HOOK SCRAPER, I use them to take down the high spots on my hulls and decks before I start to sand, it save me a lot of work this way, and a lot of sand papper?

Circulating Message Claims a Dog Died after Playing With a Poisoned Filled Nerf Football
Circulating Facebook message claims that a dog playing at a community dog park died minutes after picking up a poison-filled Nerf football he found.
© Depositphotos.com/ Rossella Apostoli
Brief Analysis
The message remains unsubstantiated. The warning does not name the park, the city, or even the country where the alleged poisoning occurred. Nor are the dog's owners identified. So far, I have not found any credible news reports about the incident described. However, dog owners should certainly remain vigilant. Dog baiting does occur, including a recent incident in San Francisco in which two dogs became ill after eating poisoned meatballs left on the street.
Last night my sister's dog, Jake, was at the community dog park. He was playing and running and having a blast. He picked up a Nerf football that was just laying around. He immediately dropped it and shook his head. He got a drink and played a bit longer. Then all of a sudden he wanted to go home. When he got home a few moments later, he laid down and in minutes he was dead. This was a wonderful, healthy 4-yr old Golden Retriever mx. Apparently someone didn't like the dog park and had left the ball full of poison. So NEVER, NEVER, NEVER LET YOUR DOG PICK UP ANYTHING THAT HE DIDN'T BRING WITH HIM! Any toys abandoned should immediately be put in the trash! This was a horrible loss and my sister is devastated! I doubt they will ever know who did this, but don't be the next victim. Spread the word--SAVE A LIFE!
Detailed Analysis
This message, which is currently circulating via Facebook and other social media sites, describes a case in which a dog died after playing with a poisoned-laced Nerf football he found discarded at a community dog park. According to the warning, four-year-old Golden Retriever, Jake, picked up the ball, but immediately dropped it. The message claims that Jake died a few minutes later after returning home. It advises people to never let their dogs pick up anything they didn't bring with them and asks that people spread the word to warn other dog owners.
However, the claims in the message are so far unsubstantiated. The message does not indicate what park, what city, or even what country the alleged poisoning occurred in. Nor does it identify Jake's owners. It is thus difficult to track down any information about the incident described. So far, I have found no credible news reports about such a case.
The message does not indicate if the cause of death was officially identified as poisoning by animal health authorities. Nor does it state what kind of poison was used or if police are investigating the incident.
The message claims that the dog simply picked up the ball and then immediately dropped it, but still died within minutes. Thus, if Jake really did die of poisoning, the substance must have been extremely toxic. It is also not clear why a dog baiter would go to the trouble of hiding the poison inside a toy, when a laced piece of meat or bone would likely be more effective. While many dogs may not be able to resist an unexpected snack they find in a park, many would not bother with a discarded toy.
The story cannot be confirmed as true without at least some basic collaborating evidence. Jake, if he is a real dog, may have died of some sudden illness unrelated to the discarded football. Or he may have ingested poison elsewhere.
And, even if the warning describes a real incident, its lack of details and location data rob it of much of its potential value. If such discarded toy poisonings were a widespread issue, then it certainly would have been widely reported by many different news and animal welfare outlets. There are no such reports. Therefore, the problem, if real, would likely be isolated to one particular region. But, alas, the warning does not say what region. Thus, the message is likely to rather fruitlessly circulate all over the world. And, given that the message does not provide a date for the alleged incident either, it may continue circulating for months or even years to come.

text: |09-02-2014 ...... Quinten has recently competed in the 33rd annual OVR Autumn Classic held at Mid Ohio Sports Car Course. Quinten race in the open cock-pit Spec Racer Ford (SRF) class for the first time. Quinten first tested in the car in the twilight test and tune session held on Friday night and feel in love with the car! Come Saturday morning Quinten went out and qualified the Spearman Financial, Luebbe Fine Homes, Hammer & Brush #31 SRF second in class and third in group! On the start Quinten dropped back to 13th and battled his way back up to a 7th place finish. Later in the day Quinten raced in the Ken Berchak One Hour Endurance Race, after a strong start to the race, he began losing engine power and had to come in for a lengthy pit stop that put him multiple laps down, after what was thought to be the problem (the mass airflow sensor) was fixed, the team sent Quinten back out and he ran his fastest lap of the race. Sunday morning's race was in the rain, and Quinten had a strong start moving up from 7th to 5th in the first turn and into 2nd with a spectacular move slipping two cars in the "esses", Quinten was catching first place very quickly when he had the same problems as the endurance race with 3 laps to go, Quinten dropped back to finish the race in 4th. As the team got back the tent they began pulling apart the entire car to find the real problem of why the car was not getting any fuel, come to find out the rubber flapper valve had eroded and clogged the fuel line and was starving the engine for gasoline. The team returned the car back to race trim and they were ready to race the final race of the weekend. Quinten started on the outside of the second row, however, fell back on the start once again and was trying to battle his way back up to the front. However, on lap 4 Quinten was being passed in turn 2 and was unfortunately involved in an incident. Quinten made hard contact with left front suspension into the outside wall, resulting in a broken front suspension and an unfortunate DNF (did not finish) to end the weekend. Thank you to all who came out to support Quinten Nelson Motorsports! A huge thank you to Alliance Autosport for preparing an amazing car for Quinten. Also a HUGE thank you to our partners for this race, Spearman Financial Services and the entire Spearman family for being there to watch Quinten race and also to the companies of Luebbe Fine Homes and Hammer & Brush and the entire Luebbe Family!!

Recession's Worse? Let's Buy Some Stocks
SAN FRANCISCO -- As compelling as the battle over recovering AIG (AIG) executive bonuses might be, it clearly has nothing to do with investors' increasing willingness to pay higher prices for stocks.
While Wednesday's session may have received a little help from the Federal Reserve, the market's most bullish run of 2009 -- the S&P 500 is now up 20% since its March 6 intraday lows -- looks as intact as ever.
For the rest of the month, the watch is on to see how a relatively light corporate news flow and the end-of-quarter performance push will affect the momentum of stocks, which this day touched some nice, round numbers -- 800 on the S&P and Dow 7500.
And let's not forget 1500 for the Nasdaq. With a Wednesday close of 1488, the index is now down just 5.6% in 2009, giving tech investors hope that another push higher could actually have the Nasdaq above water in a matter of days.The tech index was helped by IBM's (IBM) purported plans to buy Sun Microsystems (JAVA), boosting the prey's market cap by nearly $3 billion. But tech's outperformance of the broader market has been the standard this year, and the IBM-Sun news merely highlights the effect of the strength in tech stocks, rather than being the cause. The major giants in the sector, IBM, Cisco (CSCO), Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG), to name just a few, are awash in cash. This isn't a bad affliction for weathering a recession, and it certainly comes in handy when it's time to buy struggling companies that can open up new markets.

Dudley Square
high tech startup accelerator
Smarter in the City
The Smarter in the City accelerator at Dudley Square provides an unprecedented opportunity for local entrepreneurs from underrepresented communities to develop their programs, apps and companies, while advancing technical and business skills.
A select group of startups from Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan and neighboring communities will have access to a first class workspace, a well-connected network of high tech and business mentors, and will be showcased to investors and companies that can advance their startups ... and careers.
Dudley Square is currently being redeveloped into an important urban center in Boston following decades of hardship. By introducing a growing and successful industry into the area, Smarter in the City intends to bolster the opportunity for neighborhood and community growth.
We want you to be part of this exciting space...
First cohort now in residence !

What is Smarter in the City
Smarter in the City is a high-tech accelerator in Roxbury. We are specifically addressing the lack of opportunities for computer science and digital media entrepreneurs in inner-city neighborhoods and minority communities.
Smarter in the City is essentially a hybrid of the incubator and accelerator models - workspaces where new and innovative startup ideas can grow with supportive colleagues, dedicated mentorship, a tailored education curriculum and pre-seed funding. Our participants are early stage entrepreneurs who will have a short yet intense time to advance their products.
By locating our workspaces in Roxbury and recruiting individuals or teams from communities that have been disproportionately left out of the high-tech world, Smarter in the City is expanding the startup scene beyond its 'traditional' market.
Our accelerator is now open in Dudley Square in Boston, one of the nation's leading technology hubs. With high-tech startups now emerging in cities across the nation, we believe that the industry must also expand to neighborhoods that are only a few miles or subway stops from established tech clusters and venture capitalists.
We know that these neighborhoods - too often judged only by their economic troubles - are home to aspiring entrepreneurs. Smarter in the City is providing them the opportunity not just to succeed, but to strive!
Dudley Square Accelerator
The Smarter in the City accelerator at Dudley Square provides selected startup teams with five months of free workspace, professional mentorship, educational curriculum, and office amenities
We provide teams with an average of two workstations and access to a shared meeting room.
Teams are matched with mentors to help guide the development of their product during their "residency" in the accelerator. In addition, several networking functions will be held to showcase startups and connect the teams to potential investors and partners.
Lastly, teams are provided with a modest stipend during the accelerator term allowing them to devote maximum time and effort to their product.
We are here to support an early and diverse set of startups and ideas and give them a boost into the great Boston high-tech scene.
Smarter in the City is opening in an exciting space in the heart of Dudley Square, near the Silver Line, Roxbury Crossing T and several major bus routes.

This classic expose of the Fed has become one of the best-selling books in its category of all time. Where does money come from? Where does it go? Who makes it? The money magician's secrets are unveiled. Here is a close look at their mirrors and smoke machines, the pulleys, cogs, and wheels that create the grand illusion called money. A boring subject? Just wait. You'll be hooked in five minutes. It reads like a detective story - which it really is, but it's all true.
This book is about the most blatant scam of history. It's all here: the cause of wars, boom-bust cycles, inflation, depression, prosperity. Your world view will definitely change. Putting it quite simply, this may be the most important book on world affairs you will ever read.
The 5th Edition includes a no-holds barred analysis of bank bailouts under the Bush and Obama Administrations that are shown to be nothing less than legalized plunder of the American people. Many other updates have been added, including a revision to the list of those who attended the historic meeting at Jekyll Island, where the Federal Reserve was created.
©1994 G. Edward Griffin (P)2013 Audiobooks.com
"More than interesting"
The trip into the future taken in the last chapter…
And in earlier chapters learning that money not politics controls the world.
This is not a book of characters being performed, it's a nonfiction about global control
It took me three days nonstop listening to complete this book
What draws us to the books we read? I have heard the Federal Reserve mentioned in other books, a paragraph here a chapter there. I only wanted to learn a little more about the federal reserve, but what I got instead was Morphious offering me the red or blue pill in the form of this fantastic book. If you choose the red pill and read this book, you will never see money the same way again.
I was expecting a simple book about bankers meeting in secret on an island, and what I got was so much more. This book takes us back into history, brings us up to present date, and my favorite part, A trip into the future that we can all see has already begun just by reading today's newspaper headlines.
I have to say that when I finished this book I no longer saw the world the same… I see it now as a much scarier place!
"The Illusion of "MONEY""
I do not have time to read whole volumes anymore. As the owner of a manufacturing plant, I choose to listen to books in my car and at work instead.
Ruskin/Rhodes and the formation of a world wide secret society for the purpose of total financial control of the world's finances.
Smooth voice inflexion.
I would love to, but 24 hours is a long time to listen in one sitting. You need time to digest, and even go back to listen and take notes as necessary.
Everyone should read this and absorb the significance of what is being put forward as the basis for this country's "wealth" and how the world might progress toward a "one world currency", irrespective of religious beliefs or suspicions.
"A little extreme, but absolutly great."
I hate the federal reserve as much as the next libertarian, but Griffin walked right up to the "extreme FED hater" line and put is toe just on the other side. Very interesting thought experience that I thoroughly enjoyed, I'm just not 100% sure his suggestions that he say are happening are actually happening.
"Well done"
It was not enjoyable. It's like eating kale.
Well I would not have read it at all were it not for the narrator. I listen while driving. So the book is what I would not have experienced.
This should be required reading for every human.
"There's a lot of things we are not told"
I would recommend. Not many books out on the Federal Reserve system. I found out a lot more than i expected!
Mark's tones and expression emphasize points that might get passed over if the book was read
Yes, although it would be an impossibility
Almost a conspiracy theory. The kind of book that you might not want to discuss with anyone but a close acquaintance.
"Extremely disappointing journalism"
This book had a lot of potential. There are lots of interesting historical items, which I would love to continue to learn about. There are also many good factual recounts of events. Unfortunately, there is so much political spin that it becomes difficult to to discern what is fact and what is political / economic wishful thinking. There are many examples in practically every moment of the book. One recurring example is his excessive inaccurate labeling of things as "communism" and "socialism".
I feel that I now need to find other reputable books about the FED, IMF, and World Bank in order to sort out fact from spin.
This book is bad in the worst possible way. It seems to obfuscate more than it enlightens. If I could ask for my money back from the author, I would as I now need to invest in other sources to clear truths from falsities.
Meticulously researched. Nicely written. Exquisitely narrated. Essential information for very American to know.
My only complaint is that it was too long. An abridged version would be welcome.
"A disturbing look at reality"
This book should be read by everyone, especially those with complacent socialist leanings. It is well documented, and forecasts a grim future unless there is a major change in our culture. It outlines very well how "1984" is coming to pass.
"Decent but drawn out and unconclusive"
I liked this book and enjoyed it generally speaking but it honestly could be quite condensed, I think someone (not the author...) should make an abridged version. Very abridged. Also I thought there were not any real solutions or alternatives to the federal reserve given, and the one that was is ridiculous and poorly described/defined (using gold as money). Many of events and concepts were a bit outlandish as well. Has some interesting information though and the audiobook makes the great length of the book more tolerable. Good narration.
"A conspiratorial masterpiece."
I would recommend this book to a friend if only for its educational value surrounding the origins and functions of the Federal Reserve. The book does lose value with a sort of "global conspiracy" theme in which Fabian Socialists and a quasi New World Order involving the Council on Foreign Relations are plotting to socialize the world. It's a bit much at times, but does raise some good points for discussion.

Biotech Stock Mailbag: Celsion
At a European thyroid research meeting last September, researchers reported that ATC patients treated with a combination of zybrestat and chemotherapy demonstrated a median overall survival of 5.1 months compared to a median overall survival of 4.1 months for similar patients treated with chemotherapy alone. While trending in the right direction, this survival benefit was not statistically significant.
Oxigene has been up front about the regulatory shortcomings of the "FACT" study. In March, the FDA told Oxigene that a second phase III study with a survival endpoint would be necessary before Zybrestat could be submitted for approval as a treatment for ATC.
This pretty much diminishes any news value from another update of the old study at next month's ASCO meeting.
The second clinical update at next month's ASCO will come from the phase II "FALCON" study that compares Zybrestat, Roche's Avastin plus chemotherapy against Avastin and chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.Again, Oxigene has presented data from this study previously. The last update was in November, when Oxigene reported the median time to progression for patients treated with the Zybrestat regimen was 9.5 months compared to 8.8 months for the control arm. The difference was not statistically significant and at less than a month's difference, likely not clinically meaningful. The "FALCON" study is designed to report out an overall survival analysis, but it's not clear whether that's ready for this year's ASCO meeting. For those wishing to look up the Zybrestat ASCO abstracts on May 18 when they're posted online, the "FACT" study is abstract No. 5502 while the "FALCON" study is abstract No. 7559.
@kevinmcgreevy tweets, "I know things are bad at $alth, but $mnkd has 2x the market cap now?!? Is it that bad?" Geesh, when you put it that way, you're absolutely right. Allos Therapeutics (ALTH) is way better off than MannKind (MNKD). Then again, there are few drug or biotech stocks in sorrier shape than MannKind, so are you really damning Allos with faint praise? Kevin's question riffs off a Twitter debate I had with a few people Tuesday night following the release of Allos' first-quarter results (bad) and the announcement of a deal with Mundipharma for European marketing rights to Folytn, Allos' lymphoma drug (good).

ericjpre: get ripped
I think I will have accomplished my get ripped goal the day that I can say "I'm done" to this. 5 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

I think I will have accomplished my get ripped goal the day that I can say "I'm done" to this. 5 years ago
I'm a 14 year old girl and I started doing handstand pushups this year. So far I can only do one complete one. The headrushes get annoying but I just have to put up with it.
By the way, I'm not some weird macho girl on steroids. Haha. I'm a former gymnast and I love working on my strength. I'm not all that strong though. 6 years ago
I worked on this a bunch today and I just can't do more than like 10 without the blood rushing to my head… Is there any way, besides not doing it, to minimize the blood rush? 7 years ago
I used to do handstand pushups in high school all the time… it was one of the few things I could do for a few minutes while waiting for my computer to chug along on whatever task it was at. I used to be able to do about thirty. I just tried again tonight and maxed at about eight. I think I must be differently proportioned than other people… I think my shoulders are relatively stronger and my pecs relatively weaker than the average person, it sounds like.
I'm newly interested in learning how to do these free-standing, though. There is a wonderful feeling of control when you can do an exercise like this… and when you stand back up and your shoulders are warm and buzzing, it's fantastic. 7 years ago
..but it's never gonna happen. I got to a point where I could do one, but then I was in a car accident. Between the separated shoulder, and the shattered hand, I accept that this will never happen. The doc said that my shoulder was separated to a point that i'll never regain full strength, and the verdict is still out on my hand. Either way, in the grand scheme of things, I think I can deal with never being able to do handstand pushups. It was basically a competition between one of my gym-buddies and I anyway. I owe him $20 now :( 7 years ago
really—it is. or at least i will never do it. and why do u wanna? 7 years ago
Makes the old shoulders ache no end… but you get a nice headrush afterwards :-) 7 years ago
I've intermitttently been attending classes in acrobalance and static trapeze. I remember feeling very embarassed in the acrobalance class when I was sidelined due to my inability to balance whilst upside down. (I believe the move was a candlestick). After going to a gymnastics class (again a little out of my depth ahem) I was told that the handstand and cartwheel are essential to master in order to have a decent Repertoire of fun gymnastic type moves. As I'm beginning to get bored with the gym and seem to have plateaued in building strength for these disciplines…
Enter the Handstand pushup!
I'm 33 so I imagine that makes me a little on the more mature side of those attempting (succeeding?) this feat. How long it'll take I dunno, but I'm gonna give it a serious shot and as I've given up smoking (nigh on 3 months) I reckon anything's possible. 8 years ago
Ive been doing them for a while now…. there awesome , the freestanding ones feel much better then the wall ones too 8 years ago
Today, I've just decided to take on this task. For philosophical reasons as much as physical: it would be slightly enlightening to be able to maintain upright control with my arms rather than my legs.
So, today I did a headstand for probably the second time in my entire life and tried to do force myself up with my arms, a temporarily impossible task. I'll have to go right to the handstand, but I don't trust myself not to fall over and break my neck yet. I think I do a head stand everyday for a bit, until I'm confident about my balance. 8 years ago

I will be compiling a comparison of managed wireless systems to help you all make a more informed opinion when it comes to choosing a system.
I hope to include a feature comparison chart as well as descriptions of the systems. Instead of just highlighting the good points though, I hope to work with some of the vendors to explain how difficult the systems are to configure and show how difficult they are to maintain.
The help I need from you guys is stories about your own managed systems. The only people that really know how good a system is are those people that use it on a daily basis after all :D
Please contact me if you can help in any way and add any QUESTIONS that you want answering below. This thread is NOT for conversation though, simply for collection of questions, so anything cconversation-like will be deleted!

of Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company - Asheville, NC
Complete the form below to tell us about the problematic review for Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company, which says:
"Disagree with the earlier rave reviews on the beer--it was good, but not nearly as varied or flavorful as many other brewpubs. The pizza was very good ("kind of grows on you", as my wife put it). The decor is nothing short of bizarre, but along with the pizza is one of the things that makes the place worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood. Service was very friendly and helpful, but visits from the server were a somewhat distantly spaced. Summary: Average"

UK CitySlicker Sam: My Three Favourite Holiday Reads
With September being literacy themed, I set about trying to find a few decent holiday reads and came across three that I actually really rather enjoyed!
Travelling Through Books
I use to read a lot. When I was a child, I read books like there was no tomorrow. Of course, I did not understand everything, but I kept reading and looking things up in the encyclopedia set my parents had gotten for me as a child. My main genres were science fiction and memoirs. Books are great because they tested your imagination and would provide fodder for you to create a world in your mind. Pictures work in a similar matter as books, but without the text, you have basically just an image or several images telling a story.
Asian Photography Masters: Yasuhiro Ishimoto
Yasuhiro Ishimoto (石元 泰博) was a Japanese-American photographer and began his path behind the camera under depressing circumstances. His early studies in Architecture influenced his works, as did existentialism. After the jump, we'll reveal more about this influential master.

In a tree-lined corner of Crystal City, Adel Ishak operates a small seasonal food stand, offering sandwiches, salads and smoothies to the masses of local office workers, apartment dwellers and Mt. Vernon Trail users.
If you've ever met Ishak, you probably know him as a hard-working guy who greets customers with an easy smile. What you probably don't know about the guy serving you snacks and sodas is that not too long ago he was a prominent attorney in Egypt, with a large office and business before the Egyptian Supreme Court.
Ishak moved his wife and twin daughters to the United States five years ago, he says, after they started fearing for their safety. Being a Christian in Egypt, as they were, had become too dangerous, says Ishak.
"Over there, anybody can hurt you at any time," he said.
In the U.S., Ishak has traded his large office for safety and a much different career path. When he's not running the concession stand (in the Crystal City Water Park, across from 1750 Crystal Drive) Ishak is working as a part-time salesman for a JCPenney store in Fairfax. He could be doing more, Ishak says, but his poor English limits his job opportunities. In the coming months or years, he's hoping to remedy that.
"I hope to study a lot," he said.
Ishak has been gradually adding new and higher-quality items to the menu at the concession stand. Although the stand isn't making him rich, he says business is "good" and getting better.
"I don't worry about money, because when I work hard, money comes," he said.
For Ishak, business is personal. The recipes for many of the menu items, like the smoothies and the fattoush salad, are customized by Ishak to meet his own personal standards. For instance, the mango smoothie contains real mango pieces, as opposed to flavored syrup. ("It's expensive but it's good," he says.)
Plus, Ishak makes a point to provide personalized service. He'll memorize what regular customers usually order, and will offer to let customers pay him back if they left their money at home.
From the Associated Press to the New York Times to Iran's Press TV, Wednesday night's public forum on the Secure Communities immigration enforcement program, held at George Mason University's Founders Hall in Virginia Square, generated plenty of headlines.
The forum was organized as a listening session by a volunteer task force charged with recommending changes to Secure Communities, which Arlington tried and failed to opt out of last year.
After a raucous hour of impassioned speeches, about 150 pro-immigrant demonstrators marched and chanted their way out of the building, declaring the forum an "absolute sham" and demanding that the task force resign. The walkout — and many of the speeches and chants that preceded it — was choreographed by the group CASA de Maryland, which has been speaking out against Secure Communities since its inception.
Armed with signs and slogans, group members helped to pack the auditorium at GMU to its 300 person capacity. Numerous speakers — including ministers, monks, attorneys, activists and County Board member Walter Tejada — told of Secure Communities' alleged impacts, from the deportation of teenagers to the threatened deportation of accident victims. While it's supposed to help track down undocumented perpetrators of serious crimes, Secure Communities is not working as the Obama Administration intended, immigrant advocates argued.
The demonstrators' pivotal moment came when two undocumented mothers, facing deportation proceedings, confronted Marc Rapp, who had been inconspicuously sitting in the audience, observing the proceedings. Rapp, the Department of Homeland Security official in charge of overseeing the Secure Communities program, was told through an interpreter that one of the women, Maria Bolanos, was picked up after she called police during a fight with her domestic partner. She decried Secure Communities and asked to be reunited with her children, as Rapp listened quietly.
Shortly thereafter the CASA protesters filed out of the room, shouting "end it, don't mend it." After a noisy demonstration outside the building, they marched down Fairfax Drive and into nearby St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church.
Back inside at GMU, the discussion continued. Several people spoke in favor of Secure Communities. With the protesters out of the building, there were fewer hisses and boos as they spoke of the need to make sure the country's laws are followed.
"If you're going to be an illegal immigrant in this country, the least you can do is not do crime and not get arrested," said Columbia Pike resident John Antonelli. Other speakers suggested the 9/11 terror attacks could have been prevented by stricter immigration enforcement.
Ofelia Calderon, an immigration attorney who works in Virginia Square, "thanked" members of the task force for the extra business she's been getting because of Secure Communities.
The Department of Homeland Security will be holding a public meeting in Arlington on the Secure Communities immigration enforcement program.
The meeting will take place between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 24, at George Mason University Founder's Hall (3351 Fairfax Drive) in Virginia Square. The Homeland Security Advisory Council's Task Force on Secure Communities is seeking public comments about the controversial program, which Arlington tried and failed to opt out of last year.
From a press release issued by Arlington County this morning:
Homeland Security Advisory Council's Task Force on Secure Communities is making recommendations to the Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on ways to improve the Secure Communities program, including ideas on how to best focus on individuals who pose a true public safety or national security threat. This panel is composed of chiefs of police, sheriffs, state and local prosecutors, court officials, ICE agents from the field, and community and immigration advocates. The advisory committee is considering proposals on how ICE may adjust the Secure Communities program to mitigate potential impacts on community policing practices, including whether special procedures should be adopted for ICE enforcement actions directed toward individuals charged with, but not convicted of, minor traffic offenses.
Anyone planning on attending the meeting is asked to RSVP via email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Attendees are asked to indicate whether or not they plan on making any comments to the task force.

Changes to 'Secure Communities' — The federal government is changing the 'Secure Communities' program to "avoid further confusion" about whether it's optional or not. Arlington tried to "opt out" of the program — which shares local arrest data with federal immigration authorities — last year. The program will remain mandatory for local jurisdictions, but now it will be conducted without formal, signed memoranda of agreement with individual states. [Washington Post]
Capital Bikeshare Saves Lives? — Arlington's Commuter Services department is touting a recent British study that found that a bike share program in Barcelona saved about 12 lives as a result of the extra physical activity from bicycling. The study also found that the program eliminated 9 million kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions. "In other words, bike-sharing and Capital Bikeshare are good for you and the air we breathe," an Arlington official writes. [CommuterPage Blog]
Cuccinelli Shrugs off Local Dem Attacks — Those local Democratic candidates who have been calling Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli an "extremist" and other unkind words? Not a concern for Cuccinelli. "It's a little bit hard to take seriously being called 'so far outside the mainstream' by people who are so far to the left they can't see the middle," he said in an interview. [Sun Gazette]
Beloved Bishop O'Connell Football Coach Dies — Steve Trimble, Bishop O'Connell High School's varsity football coach since 2002, died suddenly at his office yesterday morning. Trimble played high school football in Cumberland, Md., before playing for the University of Maryland on a scholarship. He played free safety for the Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears during the early-to-mid 80s, before playing in arena leagues and then joining the coaching staffs of several NFL teams. Trimble, 53, was the father of four sons, all of whom played football at O'Connell. [Arlington Catholic Herald]
Immigrant Advocate Wants Office for Latinos — Lois Athey, the head of tenants-rights group BU-GATA, told the County Board over the weekend that she would like the county to establish an Office of Latino Affairs for Arlington's 31,000 Latino residents. Board Chairman Chris Zimmerman asked County Manager Barbara Donnellan to look into options for further outreach to the Latino community. [Sun Gazette]
More iPads Coming for Arlington Students? — Camilla Gagliolo, the instructional technology coordinator for Arlington Public Schools, is a big believer in using iPads in the classroom. The device "is bringing educational technology to new levels of student engagement," she told a conference. iPads are currently in use at several Arlington elementary schools. [THE Journal]
Storm Damage Caused by 'Macroburst' — The National Weather Service says the extensive damaged caused by Sunday night's storm was caused by a "macroburst" — a larger version of a microburst. The macroburst brought winds of 60-70 miles per hour to some North Arlington neighborhoods, causing trees and power poles to snap in half. [MyFoxDC]

The woman who died in a crash inside a Ballston parking garage Thursday morning worked as an interpreter for the Justice Department's Arlington Immigration Court.
In a letter to colleagues, Chief Judge Brian O'Leary said Adele Lapinell, 74, will be remembered for her "patience and understanding."
I am saddened to announce that Ms. Adele Lapinell, a staff interpreter with the Arlington Immigration Court, passed away today in a single car accident in the parking facility at the court.
Ms. Lapinell first joined the Department of Justice/EOIR in January 1988. Throughout her years as a staff interpreter at the Arlington Immigration Court, Ms. Lapinell assisted thousands of limited English proficient individuals in better understanding their immigration court proceedings, and helped each of the immigration judges communicate with those who appear before them. The agency greatly depends on staff interpreters like Ms. Lapinell to provide a communicative bridge between the immigration court staff and the aliens who appear in proceedings. Her colleagues and friends at the Arlington Immigration Court will greatly miss her. She will be especially remembered for her patience and understanding.
In front of friends, families and admirers, four Arlington students received a chance to dream Thursday night.
In a ceremony at the Arlington Public Schools Education Center on N. Quincy Street, Hareth Andrade and Antonella Rodriguez-Cossio from Washington-Lee High School, Henry Mejia from Yorktown High School and Jose Vasquez from Arlington Mill High School Continuation Program received Dream Scholarships to help fund their college educations.
Although countless high school students enjoy grants and awards around this time of year, the Dream Scholarship is reserved for undocumented students — children born abroad who are not U.S. citizens or legal residents.
An estimated 65,000 undocumented students graduate from American high schools every year, but they cannot receive federal financial aid and are ineligible for in-state tuition in Virginia. That renders college an expensive, unattainable goal for many.
While activists around the country fight for undocumented students' rights at the federal level, others, like Arlington School Board Member Dr. Emma Violand-Sanchez, are trying to make a difference on a local level. Violand-Sanchez founded and chairs Dream Project, Inc., which awards the scholarships.
While speaking at Thursday's event, Dr. Violand-Sanchez said that many undocumented students feel discouraged by the restrictions against them and don't know where to turn. She added that although school guidance counselors and other community members may want to help, they don't always know the best means if they haven't previously dealt with students in this situation. She hopes Dream Project, Inc. can bridge that gap.
The four students all described the personal motivators that kept them focused on their goals during difficult times. "I despised the idea of throwing away the opportunities my parents gave me when they brought me and my siblings to the United States," said Meija, a valedictorian who's heading to Bucknell University in the fall.
(Correction at 11:50 a.m. — A quote from Capt. Wasem has been removed. The quote was from his prepared remarks, but was not actually said during the rally.)
More than 100 demonstrators marched through the busy streets of Virginia Square, Clarendon and Courthouse last night in support of immigrant rights and against deportations.
The protesters, assisted by a police escort, marched from George Mason University's Arlington campus to the Arlington County jail. Holding signs and chanting slogans in English and Spanish, the protesters made their message loud and clear for scores of bewildered bystanders and outdoor diners in Clarendon.
Once at the jail, a number of speakers addressed the crowd. Most condemned the federal 'Secure Communities' immigration enforcement program while praising Arlington for attempting to "opt-out" of the program.
"Arlington was one of the first communities to opt out of Secure Communities," said Tenants and Workers United Interim Director Jennifer Morley. "When people who live in Arlington heard about it, they spoke out, the organized. Arlington knows that Secure Communities is not the kind of initiative we want in our community."
"We are watching our elected officials closely," said a priest. "You are our brothers and sisters and our children."
"Washington, D.C. is a sanctuary community!" shouted Johnny Barnes, executive director of the ACLU's National Capital Area chapter, to loud cheers.
A woman identified as "Elizabeth" tearfully spoke about how she was deported before, but made her way back to the area so she could support her young daughter, who has a heart condition.
Also speaking at the rally was Arlington County Police Capt. Jim Wasem, who spoke on behalf of the department. ACPD Chief Doug Scott has previously expressed concern that Secure Communities could dissuade immigrants from cooperating with police investigations.
Pro-immigration groups will be marching through the streets of Arlington tonight to protest the deportation of illegal immigrants.
Protesters will march from George Mason University Founder's Hall, at 3351 N. Fairfax Drive in Virginia Square, to the Arlington County jail, at 1435 N. Courthouse Road in Courthouse, where they will hold a rally against the federal 'Secure Communities' immigration enforcement program.
The march is scheduled to begin at 6:45 p.m. Organizers expect the rally outside the jail to start at 7:15 p.m.
"Speakers at the rally will include representatives from Virginia, Maryland, DC, New York, Illinois, California and other locales affected by the discredited deportation program," organizers said in a statement.
The march and rally will coincide with the start of the Turning the Tide National Summit, a three-day pro-immigration gathering that's being held this year at GMU's Arlington campus.
Secure Communities helps federal authorities enforce immigration laws by checking the fingerprints of those arrested by local law enforcement through a Department of Homeland Security immigration database.
In September the County Board voted unanimously to attempt to withdraw from the program, saying that Secure Communities "will create divisions in our community and promote a cultural fear and distrust of law enforcement." County officials eventually determined that it was not feasible to withdraw from the program. A coalition that helped organize local opposition to Secure Communities was later given the county's James B. Hunter Human Rights Award.
Arlington County Board Member Walter Tejada would like to see the children of illegal immigrants in Virginia offered in-state tuition at public universities — but he's not kidding himself.
On WAMU's Kojo Nnamdi Show, Tejada said that Virginia Republicans, including Gov. Bob McDonnell and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, would never support such a plan.
"I don't think that there's a chance right now [given] the political environment," Tejada said.
A woman who called into the show questioned the wisdom of granting illegal immigrant children in-state college tuition when they would be unable to legally obtain a job in the United States.
The children of illegal immigrants still must go through the same college admission process as other students, Tejada argued. He said that illegal immigrant children should be given the same opportunities as the children of legal Virginia residents.
"We have the best and the brightest — some who are valedictorians — we are not allowing them to continue their education," Tejada said. "It is wrong."
Tejada says that he supports comprehensive immigration reform.
One thing's clear: Chipotle has been doing a lot of hiring lately.
This month alone, the restaurant chain has held 'open house' hiring events in Ballston, Rosslyn, Falls Church, Seven Corners, Reston, Sterling, Herndon and Ashburn.
Why the sudden hiring push?
A Chipotle spokesperson told us that they're "in an industry where turnover is high." But recent news reports suggest something else may be going on.
"The feds are cracking down on undocumented workers at Chipotle restaurants in Virginia and the District," TBD reported last month. "After the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reportedly warned Chipotle it would be targeted… the Chipotles in Columbia Heights and Woodley Park fired 40 employees who could not prove they were legally authorized to work."
No such mass firings have been publicly reported in Virginia, but one local says there are a lot of unfamiliar faces among the crew at the Ballston Chipotle (4300 Wilson Blvd).
"I've been going there for 5+ years and literally most of the same people worked there till a few weeks ago," Chipotle regular Jamie Cave told ARLnow.com. "When I went in the other night, it was a whole new crew and barely any Hispanic workers (mostly white or Indian). Others have been mentioning that they don't recognize most of the workers there now."
A visit to the Ballston Chipotle last night confirmed that, at the very least, the location is understaffed. The line for a burrito around 7:30 p.m. extended nearly out the door.
Chris Arnold, the Chipotle spokesperson, confirmed the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement investigation into the restaurant's hiring practices in the Washington area, but denied that there has been a mass exodus of employees.
Tejada, Moran Get 'Snippy' Over Immigration — At a work session Monday afternoon, County Board member Walter Tejada and Rep. Jim Moran got in a verbal 'tussle' when Tejada suggested that Democrats have not done much recently to advance the cause of immigration rights on a federal level. [Sun Gazette]
Westover Farmers Market Delayed — Organizers had hoped to launch a farmers market in Westover this spring, but it looks like red tape will delay their goal by a year. Farmers market boosters have secured verbal approval to use school property for the market, but the county zoning office says it will not grant a use permit until the county ordinance related to farmers markets is changed. [Falls Church News-Press]

A three-day sweep of Northern Virgina by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents resulted in 163 arrests, including 11 in Arlington County.
Of those arrested, 130 were described as aliens with criminal records who were previously convicted of crimes including rape, assault, burglary and narcotics possession. ICE also arrested eight fugitives and three individuals accused of re-entering the United States after a previous deportaiton.
Of the 11 individuals arrested in Arlington, one was a man described as a 39-year-old Ecuadorian national and legal permanent resident of the United States.
"His previous criminal convictions include three counts of contributing to delinquency of minor, assault and battery against a family or household member, grand larceny and receiving stolen property, and statutory rape of a child between 13 and 15 years of age," authorities said. "He was taken into ICE custody pending a hearing before an immigration judge."
"We are a nation with a proud history of immigration. If you come here lawfully, work hard, and play by the rules, the United States welcomes you with open arms," ICE Director John Morton said in a statement today. "For those who come here unlawfully and commit crimes at the expense of their neighbors and their communities, we will not rest until we find you and send you home."
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell also lauded the raids.
"Once again through our working relationship with ICE, Virginia has had the opportunity to continue to safeguard its communities from convicted criminals," McDonnell said.
ICE's Fugitive Operations Teams were assisted by various local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, including U.S. Secret Service, Virginia State Police, Fairfax County Police, and the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.
Arlington County Police spokeswoman Det. Crystal Nosal said the department was notified about the pending arrests, but did not participate.
Illegal Immigrant Bills Killed in State Senate — Most of the bills that immigrant advocates spoke out against at a rally last week have suffered a quiet death in a state Senate subcommittee. The bills would have prevented illegal immigrants from attending public universities in Virginia and would have required citizenship checks for anyone arrested by police. [Washington Examiner]
Cyclist Gets Doored on Clarendon Boulevard — It's a non-uncommon tale of woe from the cycling world. A bicyclist was riding in the bike lane on Clarendon Blvd when a parked motorist suddenly opened his door. A collision ensues. Police and medics are called. The next day, however, the injured bicyclist wasn't able to get the driver's insurance information from police. While this raises police procedure questions, there is also the larger question: Is there a way for drivers and bicyclists to share the road without injuring or cursing at each other? [TBD, Patch]
More: Native Foods Cafe Coming to Shirlington — This Craigslist ad seems to make it official. California-based vegan restaurant chain Native Foods Cafe will be opening their first East Coast location in Shirlington. Earlier, we reported that a restaurant that at least shared the same name was planning to open in the old Bear Rock Cafe space. [Shirlington Village Blog, Shirlington Village Blogspot]
Charlie Davies Signs with D.C. United — Soccer phenom Charlie Davies will be playing for D.C. United this season, on loan from the French club FC Sochaux. Davies is still trying to get up to full-speed after suffering serious injuries in crash on the GW Parkway in October 2009. The crash, which killed one female passenger, happened on the Arlington section of the GW Parkway, just past Memorial Bridge. [Washington Post, FanHouse]
