text: David â husband, father, reluctant Disney fan Sheila â trip planner, organizer, big Disney fan Aaron â 10 yo boy; loves the Tea Cups Samantha â 8 yo girl; enjoys everything Thursday, March 15 Well, we finally made it to Disneyland! Landed at John Wayne (Orange County) airport at 10:30 last night, shuttled to Dollar for a rental car and then to the Candy Cane Inn. Since we had such a late night (didnâÂÂt turn the lights off until after 1:00), we decided to just sleep in and get to the park a little later than official opening time. Well, we all awoke at 6:30 am and were all ready to go!! We walked to the park entrance and were waiting on Main Street when they officially opened at 9:00. First of all, the Candy Cane Inn would not be my first choice for a future visit. It was a nice place, but the Park Inn is much closer and comparably priced. The entrance to DL, DCA, DD is directly across the street from the Park Inn. It is about a ten minute walk from the Candy Cane. The Candy Cane bus is very nice and leaves the hotel every 30 minutes. The seats all have their backs to the windows and face inward which leaves a wider aisle than normal. All of the drivers were really nice and would search the people approaching the bus while at the DL drop-off for familiar faces and would wait on you if necessary. Even though it was only a 10 minute walk, we normally rode the bus to and from the parks because our feet were so tired of walking all through the parks! It's also nice to have a bus dedicated to your hotel. Most of the other hotels use a group shuttle. I spoke with another guest at the pool (our kids were swimming) and she said that she has stayed at the Park Inn before and it is a very nice, clean place. In fact, that was her first choice, but they were already booked when she was making reservations. No bus is needed for the Park Inn. It is also right next door to a McDonalds. We also discussed the Castle Inn (which is about halfway between the Candy Cane and the DL entrance and she said that they have stayed there and it is a bit dirty. She would not recommend it. I stopped off at the Park Inn and picked up a brochure and was told that their pool is heated and it is located on top of the fourth floor (rooftop). The Unofficial Guide lists the Park Inn as the best deal for lodging in the area. The room at the Candy Cane was nice. We had a deluxe room which is a little larger than the regular room and had a small refrigerator. We visited a grocery store and got some pop & water to keep in the frig. One nice feature was that the area under the bathroom sink is enclosed with cabinet doors. Just a small touch, but it's nice to be able to put things away behind closed doors and not have to look at them. BTW, from walking by other "regular" rooms with their doors open, it appeared that the area under their sinks was open. Also, all of the deluxe rooms were at the very back of the parking lot (farthest from the bus stop) which felt like a really long walk after a full day at the parks! My kids used the pool everyday. The deepest (center) part was 5 foot and the sides are 3 foot. So, the kids were able to "touch" the bottom. Also, there is a hot tub and a separate wading pool for toddlers. One other reason why the Candy Cane would not be my first choice was the front desk manager. She had an attitude and was not very "customer oriented." Okay, on to Disneyland. Because, of course, we picked Disneyland as the first park to visit! Our first stop was in Adventureland for the Indiana Jones ride. My dd did NOT like this ride. She closed her eyes as tight as she could and wouldnâÂÂt even look up when I tried to get her to see the big rock boulder which was about to fall on us. She couldnâÂÂt wait to get out of there. I actually didnâÂÂt care for it much myself because it jerks you around a lot. IâÂÂve never been on a ride that jerked back and forth as much as this one does. We were riding in jeeps and driving over rough terrain, but it was just a very uncomfortable ride. My dh & ds ended up riding again later in the visit (utilizing FP), but we girls sat it out. BTW, we walked straight to this ride when they opened the park (along with a few hundred other people) and it looked like there was already a very long line. But, they just hadnâÂÂt opened the queue yet and everyone was standing outside. Once they opened up, all we had to do was walk through the (very long & nicely themed) queue for our jeep. Now, on to the Jungle Cruise which Samantha enjoyed much more than Indy. Then, TarzanâÂÂs Treehouse where the kids enjoyed all the hands-on activities at the end. Because Pirates was closed for rehab, we went on to the Haunted Mansion which was a walk-on â no wait at all. This is really a fast loader. BTW, they were in the process of constructing an area for the FP machines for this attraction and they will probably be working soon. In fact, the park map showed that this attraction already had FP available. Also, there is a hidden Mickey on the banquet table using a dinner plate and two bread plates for the ears. ItâÂÂs pretty obvious, but I had to point it out to the kids. Now on to one of the kids favorite rides of the trip â The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness! How many times did I hear that?? Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a nice little roller coaster with great theming. We grabbed a FP ticket and then walked on for the first ride. When we came back to use the first FP, we got another and rode a total of three times on this day. I still donâÂÂt understand why so many people refuse to use the FP system. It is the greatest thing that Disney every came up with! When we were using our FP tix, the stand-by line was 45 minutes, but we got in the train in about 6 minutes. After the first of The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness, the Mark Twain was loading so we climbed aboard for a trip around the Rivers of America. This is a nice, slow relaxing trip where you are able to rest your feet for a little while. <g> Now, on to the castle. We walked through the Sleeping Beauty diorama and then visited the wishing well and heard Snow White singing. The swams swimming around the castle are really nice. We purposely avoided Fantasyland today since that will be first on our agenda for our second day at DL. Tomorrowland â here we come. Took a trip around the Monorail which has more seating than the one at WDW. Of course, this Monorail is an attraction where the ones at WDW are really used for transportation. After exiting the Monorail at Tomorrowland, we used a FP for Autopia. This is really a long car ride and the kids enjoyed driving. But, the gas pedal is a bit hard to hold down, so Mom & Dad were pushing down on the gas in the cars while the kids drove. This is another one that you definitely want to use FP. The stand-by lines would be 45 minutes most of the day. Rocket Rods is closed and the kids kept asking what that track was for everytime we saw it. We had an okay lunch at a place in Tomorrowland right across from the Monorail. Then, it was onto a DL exclusive â the Matterhorn. Okay, so this ride is now tied with Big Thunder as their favorite ride. In fact, the roller coasters are similar with their sharp corners and no big drops. CanâÂÂt remember all the rest of the details of the day, but we did the AstroOrbiter after a small wait and then walked on to Star Tours (which is identical to the one at WDW). We rode Autopia again (with a FP, of course) and then the Fantasyland side of the Matterhorn. The tracks are a bit different since one is on the âÂÂinsideâ and the other on the âÂÂoutsideâÂÂ. Personally, I preferred the Tomorrowland side since it was a bit of a smoother ride. Finally, we got to Splash Mountain for our final ride of the day. The stand-by wait was over 60 minutes, but we used FP and we on in less than 15 minutes. Again, why do so many people not use FP? As you can tell, we crossed over between Frontierland and Tomorrowland quite a bit today picking up and using FP tix. We had a very full day and were ready for the hotel room. The front desk clerk told us how to find a grocery store where we picked up some chips and drinks for the frig. Then, we stopped at Subway for sandwiches and took them back to the room to eat. We all crashed really early that night â before 8:30! Sheila email@example.com Wilderness Lodge; Dec 1999 Disneyland March 2001!

In the blink of an eye, my baby turned 9 months old. Somehow I was lingering too long on how much sleep I'm not getting or what a big adjustment four children has been, because I don't know how we got here already — slip-sliding the last three months to one year old. Wow!
When I look back at how the time flew, I wish I could go back to myself about six months ago and remind that mama that the days are long but the years are short. When I had that very colicky baby, I was in total survival mode. I did nothing but keep everyone fed and try to keep clean clothes on the kids and walk and rock and shush and nurse my struggling baby.
Oh how I wish I could tell my 6-months-ago-self to just keep swimming!
In our house, Dory has made a huge impact. Dory told us all to just keep swimming (in that fantastic sing-songy voice!) and it has stuck with us all these years. What do we do? We swim. We take it one day at a time.
We do the next thing.
I think all moms feel that sense of how overwhelming caring for a baby can be at one point or another. But do we all remember it's just a season and soon baby will be out of this stage and we'll be longing for these baby days again?
Being overwhelmed means I missed many of the little moments along the way. Slowing life down a bit, taking it all one step at a time, is proving to leave me with room in my mind and heart to create beautiful memories instead of a rushed babyhood I'm just trying to get through. I'm so grateful for a little perspective!
Now that we are sinking deep into life with a happy, mobile (dare I say, easy) baby, I don't feel in survival mode. I feel like taking the next steps and walking from surviving to thriving.
Want to come swimming?

95% Lower Receiver
1 Attachment(s)
American Spirit Arms advertised a 95% lower receiver blank that requires SLIGHTLY less milling by the end user.
Attachment 134610
no offense and none taken
No brother that's an 80% lower. Still have to drill trigger and hammer pin holes and breach the fire group well, and trigger. Not sure what they are thinking
The Receiver Attachment Pin holes are drilled, the Buffer Tube Hole is threaded, Trigger Swing Plate holes are drilled and some other holes drilled.
Looks to be only thing needing finished is the Hammer/Trigger Compartment area.
Would still need a proper Jig to get proper depths and the Trigger/Hammer Holes drilled and such, and a File/Dremel to finish up the finer details.
I do see to get a more finished Receiver, you're paying more for it, but for what little you need to do, it might be worth it to some folks.
I retract my statement after investigating some more. Looks to be only 80%+ done, but less than what ASA considers to be 95%.
The only difference between a 90 80 percent lower is the 90 has the pocket right in front of the buffer to pre drilled because it's hard to drill with a drill press.
Everything out this is exactly the same. same amount drilling except for that 1 little pocket
I wouldn't pay extra for that one. Now, what I would pay extra for s all of the holes drilled. Trigger pin hole, etc. That would leave the 2 pockets on top, and the slot for the trigger. With a milling machine, it'd get real easy. Personally, I would never try to do this project with a drill press. To many opportunities to screw it up. It'd be like trying to block sand a car with an angle grinder. LOL
It's easier than you would think I've even seen people use a drill hand drill that is that I would not try lol.
Nothing wrong with a drill press even if you had a mill you still have to do the sides with a drill press
A mill, (AKA Bridgeport, knee mill, vertical mill), is basically a drill press on steroids. I will do everything a drill press will do, and also holds the work very securely in a vise, bolted to an X/Y table. Some also have power feed on the table, as well as on the quill. A mill also has the ability to very securely hold, (usually using R-8 collets, but sometimes a drill chuck), various cutting tools. End mills, ball end mills, fly cutters, taps, drill bits, etc. Also, the mill may have, if you're lucky, a DRO. (Digital Read Out), that tells you exactly where you are, in relation to a zero point that you can set, both in X and Y. If no DRO, there are graduations on the hand wheels that do the same thing, but not as easily.
A drill press, on the other hand, is going to force you to use a jig, (more $$), does not hold tools or the work as securely, doesn't tell you where you are, give a zero point, have power feed, or a DRO, and is going to probably, from what I've seen, force you to use an end mill to finish off the side walls, using your hands to guide the jig. Not conducive to getting a good finished project. Not saying it can't be done, but the chances of success are much less. It's at best a half-a$$ed solution to the problem.
LOL, doing it with a hand drill alone, you might as well take that 80% lower and throw it in a tree shredder.
I agree with you if you have a mil by all means use it most people don't .
I have seen drill press that have a digital read out on it.
You can Chuck up a end mill in a drill press so it can be done.
I'm sure you have at least looked at it on youtube right
I have. All indications I get is that it's a PITA. You can indeed put an end mill in a drill press. But it won't hold it that well. A Drill press also usually does not have an XY table, and the DRO on the XY table is what I'm talking about. A DRO on a DP is most likely on the spindle. Not too useful. You COULD put an XY table on a DP. It's still not as ridged as a Mill, so accuracy is going to suffer. and you STILL probably have no way to tell where you are….
Well obviously to buy a lower complete lower is the way to go some of us are forced to do 80 percent
Just in case you don't know I'm in California darn it lol.
My jig only cost me $80 and it guide you completely through the whole process. correct your depth is very critical but very easy to accomplish

Dundee crime rates released by Police Scotland
Overall violent crime rates have fallen by 25% in Dundee according to new statistics released by Police Scotland.
The number of serious assaults were also down by 20%, according to the figures.
However, crimes of indecency were reported to have risen by 54.4% - with rapes accounting for 20%.
The statistics were collected during the first six months of the new national force compared against the five year average.
Police said the rise in the number of indecency cases may be due to "a significant number" of historic cases being brought to their attention in the past six months - with one dating back more than 50 years.
Tayside Division Commander, Ch Supt Hamish Macpherson, said: "The reductions we have seen are testament to the dedication of all our officers and staff in the Dundee Local Policing Areas, with the support of their Tayside and national colleagues.
The number of recorded robberies were reported to have fallen by 45.6% and common assault fell by 3.7%.
Housebreaking in Dundee fell by 35%, shoplifting reduced by 18.5% and vandalism fell by 29%.
Detection rates
Overall, there were 3,867 Group 1-4 crimes, comprising of violent crimes, sexual offences, dishonesties, vandalism, fire-raising and malicious mischief.
This represents an 18% reduction in comparison to the past five year average.
Detection rates showed improvement in the offences of serious assault, robbery and common assault.
However, detection rates dropped in housebreaking, shoplifting and vandalism.
Ch Supt Macpherson added: "Clearly, we constantly strive to make improvements in our detection rates as they show the public that, where crime does happen, the criminals are being caught and held to account.
"However, when crime has been significantly reduced in certain areas of offending, a single undetected incident, or relatively small number of undetected incidents, can represent a marked dip in performance. "

Bean vision plan for Hillsborough County government delayed again
You may recall that Hillsborough County Administrator Pat Bean has been under the gun from commissioners to present her vision for how county government will operate during her final two years on the job. (Bean has entered the state's mandatory retirement program)
Commissioners initially asked Bean to present her plan by Jan. 22, after giving her a less than stellar evaluation in December following a flap over pay raises she handed out. The plan is supposed to be formulated after she consults with commissioners individually.
Well, illness kept Bean out of work and from meeting with commissioners, so she asked that the initial deadline be pushed back to next week's commission meeting. Now an advance copy of the Wednesday agenda indicates she will merely update commissioners on her progress, rather than present a plan.

KELSEYVILLE -- One man is at-large as of Thursday afternoon after a high-speed pursuit that ended in a car crash at the corner of Point Lakeview and Anderson roads.
At about 1 p.m., Lake County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) Deputy. Nick La Velle went to serve Jonathan Watters with two outstanding felony warrants at a home he is known to frequent, California Highway Patrol (CHP) Rob Hearn said.
When La Velle arrived at the Riviera Heights home, Watters, 28, was allegedly already behind the wheel of a black Pontiac Grand Prix SE with two passengers, Hearn said. La Velle, attempted to make a traffic stop, but Watters allegedly fled.
La Velle said the pursuit began near Fairway Drive and Soda Bay Road. Watters allegedly reached speeds faster than 85 m.p.h., crossed double-yellow lines and went off the road multiple times.
Watters turned into Anderson Road, and allegedly tried to let his two passengers out of the car, but crashed into a tree, Hearn said. Watters crawled out and fled the scene. The passengers sustained minor injuries.
Responding LCSO and CHP officers were unable to find Watters, a white male, 6 feet, 2 inches tall with a medium build, Hearn said. At the time of the incident, Watters was wearing all black and what appeared to be a cowboy hat.
Anyone with information is advised to call the LCSO at 262-4098 or CHP at 279-0103.

With an angelic voice, Faith spreads a message of inspiration and love. The Grammy nominated singer's remake of Cindy Lauper's "True Colors" is a refreshing rendition of a classic tune everyone is familiar with. Faith gets some help from a couple of extraordinary divas that gives us a taste of what a super group would and should sound like.
Kelly Price and Fantasia with Faith are a delight to the ears. With veterans like Tank, Tyrese and Ginuwine linking up to create a super group, its only fair for us to fantasize about these women doing a project as well. However, for now, we'll settle for an amazing song by an amazing group of artists. There is experience, pain and joy in all of there voices; it is that feeling that gives this song a great new twist.

The Furnace Creek Visitor Center is the primary public information facility at Death Valley National Park, and after half a century of use, it was due for some upgrades. A weekend event earlier this month celebrated completion of the project, and visitors to the huge desert park are invited to come see the results.
The most obvious changes are a major facelift of the museum, which previously featured exhibits dating back to the 1960s. New exhibits feature one of the park's prime resoures--the dark night sky--along with mining history and geologic features. Also included are artifacts of the Timbisha Shoshone Tribe, whose tribal homeland is within the park boundaries, and a new park film narrated by actor Donald Sutherland.
Although they're less apparent to the casual eye, another major focus of the project was increased energy efficiency—and saving energy and water are big goals in this legendary desert climate. The park website notes, "The world record highest air temperature of 134°F (57°C) was recorded at Furnace Creek on July 10, 1913. Summer temperatures often top 120°F (49°C) in the shade with overnight lows dipping into the 90s°F (mid 30s°C.)."
The recent work included new insulation and double-pane windows, an energy efficient HVAC system, night sky friendly external lighting with timer and motion controls, and native desert plant landscaping. Photovoltaic (PV) systems were installed in the parking lot and behind the visitor center to take advantage of the area's abundant sunshine. As a result of these measures, the park's $40,000+ annuual energy bill is expected to drop to $14,000 or less.
The celebration on the first weekend in November included "behind the scenes" tours to give visitors an idea of the building before and after the renovation, and demonstrations by the US Borax twenty mule team at the nearby Harmony Borax Works.
Such teams were used in the late 1800s to transport the mineral borax from pre-park mining operations to markets in southern California. Employees of the company in the early part of the century include NPS founders Stephen Mather and Horace Albright, the latter eventually becoming the first superintendent of Death Valley National Park.
The Furnace Creek Visitor Center is open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time, and is located on California Highway 190. You'll find driving directions and other information to help plan a visit on the park website.
The visitor center upgrades were funded by visitor fees collected under the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act

Saudi Arabia is eagerly anticipating this year's Hajj pilgrimage.
Hajj is the annual pilgrimage Muslims make to Mecca. As part of the five pillars of Islam, Muslims must make the Hajj once in their lifetimes.
Fears over the H1N1 virus, or "swine flu" kept many from making the pilgrimage last year.
This year business is booming.
Tourism is a developing market in Saudi Arabia. As its population grows, tourism creates new jobs.
Pilgrim visas only allow for Mecca and Medina, but officials are working on expanding their capabilities for tourists to view the country.
Hajj is one of the largest religious gatherings in the world.

While Silver Britannia has always offered beauty and reliability it now also gives you 0.999 purity. The legendary figure of Britannia has symbolized Britain's strength and integrity on coinage since Roman times. Little wonder then that the Silver Britannia, with such a depth of history behind it, has been a popular choice with bullion investors ever since its introduction in 1997.
This new specification combined with its tradition and integrity gives new life for today's investment customer. The 2013 Britannia Silver Bullion coin contains one ounce of 0.999 fine Silver and measures an impressive 38.61mm in diameter.
Please note - the colorizing of this coin was applied by an experienced third party company.
Protect your Silver Britannia with this clear plastic capsule or display it in style by adding an attractive presentation box to your order.
Britannia, the female personification of the British Isles, takes her name from an ancient term for Great Britain and has been a popular figure since the 1st century, when she was first depicted on Roman coinage under the rule of Emperor Hadrian. Illustrated as a goddess, Britannia resembles the Roman figure Boudica. Britannia first appeared on British coins in 1672, when she graced the farthing. She was a firm fixture on coins from this point onwards, appearing on pennies issued under every monarch from 1797 until decimalization, when she was chosen to appear on the 50 pence coin until 2008.
Over the years, the image of Britannia has altered slightly, with her maritime links being emphasized by switching her spear to a trident. Britannia is seen as a symbol of British unity, liberty and strength, meaning she resurfaces during particularly challenging times. Like Columbia in the U.S. and Marianne in France, Britannia becomes more prominent in times of war or when national pride is booming.
In 1987, Britannia's image graced the new Gold bullion coin minted by the Royal Mint known as the Gold Britannia. These Gold coins have since grown in popularity as an investment and a collector's piece. Gold Britannias are available in sizes as small as 1/20 oz and as large as 5 oz Gold coins. In 1997, the Royal Mint expanded this design to a Silver bullion coin known as the Silver Britannia. Over time, both the Gold Britannia and Silver Britannia have experienced changes in design and an increase in metal purity, making them major players in the modern coin market.

text: By DARCIE LORENOT-G Staff WriterThere are two headlines Pulitzer prize winner and Cleveland Plain Dealer columnist Connie Schultz hopes to see in newspapers after Ohios Nov. 7 election: Democrats take back the House and Senate and Ohio turns blue.And with her husband and U.S. senatorial candidate, 13th District Congressman Sherrod Brown, leading Republican incumbent Sen. Mike DeWine by eight points in the polls, she said the way theyll succeed this fall is with grassroots work.(Sherrod always says) it is not enough to illustrate and exploit what Republicans did to the state, she said. We have to have solutions. We have to have answers.Schultz, on leave from the Plain Dealer since February, has been traveling Ohio campaigning and acting as the eyes and ears for her husband. Wednesday, she appeared at the Ashland County Democratic Partys headquarters, 1065 Claremont Ave., for an open house and ribbon-cutting, and during its official kickoff to the fall election season. Earlier in the day, she made a stop at Lutheran Village.During a short speech, Schultz said one thing campaign officials ask wherever they go is to find five people who are disenfranchised after the 2004 election or who are recovering Republicans.Weve never seen so much bipartisan support, she said. We have got to build bridges for these people ... we want to save this state. We want to give people hope.After the passage of House Bill 234, voters this fall can vote by absentee ballot without an excuse for not making it to the polls. Schultz encouraged early voting in Ohio, one of the easiest ways to know your vote will be counted and a means of avoiding problems at the polls with machine errors or long lines. She also focused on a few issues Brown has campaigned on the past several months. He opposes NAFTA and has supported a minimum wage increase, an issue she said his opponent voted down nine times until this year. Brown also is against the war in Iraq. He fights for the working man, she said, and has his entire career. Rather than focusing on the blue counties in Ohio, she said, theyre not taking anything for granted.We are running an 88-county race, Schultz said. George Bringman, Democratic Party chairman, said so far people have shown a lot of excitement, a lot of interest leading up to the Nov. 7 election. I really look to see that the Democrats will sweep the statewide offices, he said. Ashland County commissioner candidate, John Leininger, and Duane Grassbaugh, candidate for 90th District state representative, also were present.Maryanne Chengelis, a city resident who attended with her husband, Chris, said during the last election, very few people voted Democratic in her precinct. She said shes pretty happy with Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Ted Strickland, and with Brown. However, shes concerned voters dont focus on the real issues and isnt sure what will happen this fall.I think in this community, I dont think people really read the issues, she said. They just identify themselves as Republican.On the other hand, shes concerned with the environment and jobs and admires the values of the Democratic Party, which she said focuses more on issues than on one hot topic.Bringman said the biggest issues locally hes heard about have been jobs and, subconsciously, water issues, especially with selling water to the northern part of the county. Schultz said following her speech the three big topics shes come across are jobs, health care and education from small towns to the metropolitan areas. She said many Republicans are embarrassed by their own party.As far as the way she believes the media has covered the races, she said as a journalist, Ive had moments where Ive been very proud ... and other times when I just wince. Most political writers shes encountered have been men and many have been very cynical, though this is not a cynical race.Overall, she said, Ive always been proud to be a journalist and I look forward to returning.n Darcie Loreno can be reached at 419-281-0581 ext. 237 or at email@example.com.

Lifelong fisherman Paul Knight knows the thrill of the chase, the one–on–one battle of endurance between man and beast that is sport fishing. Like Hemingway, and legions of others who've tested themselves against nature, Knight has traveled to remote parts of the globe to reel in stories of epic adventures with rod and line.
In Amazing Fishing Stories, he takes listeners on a breathtaking expedition from frozen Russian rivers to the wild jungles of India, detailing the heart-pounding capture of sailfish, tuna, and shark, and thrilling struggles with monsters from the deep. There are wonderful stories of fly fishing, as Knight describes in captivating detail the pursuit of salmon, trout, and more exotic sport from the Scottish Highlands to the Indian jungle. International in scope, and covering all types of fishing from open ocean to mountain stream, this eclectic collection of well told fishing stories has something for everyone.

Amazing? Really? Perhaps it's because I am not an active fisherman that I did not really enjoy this book. Too many stories about ghillies, salmon and flies. Too much fiction and expansion of an anecdote into a tale. There are some very tame ghost stories mixed in too. Also, I did not enjoy the narrator's dodgy attempts at "foreign" accents most of them sounding vaguely Jamaican, whether in Africa, South America or Cuba, as the always-British fishermen went off on the occasional exotic trip.
Writing about fishing can be very dramatic and illuminating, even to the layman in his armchair, but this was a disappointment. And ill-named.

Thurston Co.'s official party crashers bust 10 underage drinkers
LACEY, Wash. -- Seeing the success Pierce County had binge arresting a 24-pack of minors in connection with underage drinking last month, Thurston County busted some allegedly intoxicated youths of its own at a party this month.
According to the Thurston County Prosecutor's Office, Thurston County Target Zero sent a Party Intervention Patrol, or PIP, to a house on Carpenter Street in Lacey after receiving calls about excessive noise from multiple neighbors.
Despite many youths getting away before the patrol arrived, officers still arrested 10 intoxicated party goers between the ages of 17 and 20, according to the Prosecutor's Office.
The patrols are part of Thurston County Target Zero's goal to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2030 by targeting young drivers and impaired driving at the same time.
The Party Intervention Patrol strategy was developed by the Pierce County DUI and Traffic Safety Task Force and has proved effective, according to the Thurston County Prosecutor's Office.
Under PIP, youths aren't just arrested, they are given a one-on-one session with a trained chemical-dependency professional, who can talk to them about their level of alcohol and drug use and discuss community resources to help them.
Perhaps knowing teens will do most anything, including give up alcohol, to avoid talking to their parents, the chemical-dependency professionals will also facilitate a conversation between parents and their arrested child about making better life choices.

What is your favourite Korean dish? For me, the one dish that I always never fail to order is either the Kimchi Soup or the Pork Tofu Soup. It really depends on my mood on whether I'd like something spicy that day or something milder, but I always love a good warm Korean soup. We were in QueTo BBQ Noodle restaurant the other day and decided to check out their Pork Tofu Soup. The restaurant was constantly busy but not over crowded. Customers would order at the counter and be given a number, and when your number is displayed, it means your food is ready.
Pork Tofu Soup
The Pork Tofu Soup was served with a bowl of white rice. The piping hot soup was thick and fragrant, topped with either a choice of beef or pork (we chose beef) and a poached egg. I absolutely loved the flavour of the soup. It was just slightly spicy with an umami-ness that kept Saucer and I fighting over it. It's a shame that it didn't come in a bigger bowl! 🙂 The beef slices were thinly sliced, and there was a generous amount of tofu and glass noodles within. I loved slurping on the glass noodles and tofu, which soaked up all the flavours of the soup. I could just eat this on its own without any rice. That's my definition of comfort soup for the soul indeed! Unfortunately, the last couple of times that we were there, we realized that the portion of the soup was getting smaller. Not sure if it was because we were there late or they did reduce the portion, but at this rate, I wouldn't be willing to share it. 😛
Pork Tofu soup with Rice (AUD11)
Another of our favourite dish is the Korean rice cake. They had the Chilli Rice Cake (Tuk bokki) version here, which I had been wanting to try for a while. We ordered it that night, and it came with plenty of rice cakes, slices of fish cake, cabbage and boiled egg. The sauce was sweet and spicy, which wasn't too bad, but we thought the rice cakes were a tad too soft. We didn't find them chewy enough, which was a shame, because everything else was good. But the sauce was really tasty, so we used some of them with the white rice and they went well together.
Chilli Rice Cake (AUD9)
Boiled egg
Overall, QueTo offers a reasonably decent dining environment with good soups without burning a hole in our pocket. Whenever I crave for something hot and soothing, the pork tofu soup or the kimchi soup never failed to satisfy.

Restaurant people are truly a different breed.
They look different, with their own clothes and tattoos. They keep their own hours, heading to work when most of us are heading home, and going out when we're going to sleep. The industry has its own rites and rituals, its own rules, and its own language.
Dining room jargon–
BOH: Back Of the House; the kitchen, walk-in, or any other area where you don't deal with customers; BOH also refers to the people who work there. FOH: Front Of the House is the bar, the dining room, or anywhere else the staff deals with customers, as well as the people who work those areas.
[ _ ]-Top: describes the table's seating– a 4-top seats four; a 2-top seats two but is better known as aDeuce, and a Hi-top is a tall table like you'd find in a bar area.
Covers: the count of meals served; multiply the tops by the Turns (the number of seatings at a single table) and you'll get the total covers.
What they call us–
Diners are called Campers when they linger too long at the table, or Cupcakes when they're flirting with staff. If it's an open kitchen there are probably a few other coded descriptors.
A PPX is an Extraordinary Person–it might be written on the ticket to signal VIP treatment. It's not just for celebrities and high rollers; someone might write NPR on a ticket to tell the staff that Nice People Are Rewarded too.
There are numerous unprintable phrases to describe a bad tipper; some of the kinder ones are Stiff andFlea.
Kitchen jargon–
After you place your order, the kitchen might print out Dupes; these are duplicate tickets frequently printed in multiples on color-coded paper to signify courses. The dupes are hung on the Rail or theBoard where they're considered On Deck.
If your server has checked the Low Board they know the Count of a particular menu item; if it's 86'edyou're out of luck. In a hurry? The cooks will be told it's On the Fly, and they'll Fire the dish immediately.
When multiple cooks are working different components of a single dish they'll call 3 Out or 5 Out to signal to the others that they'll be ready to plate their items in the stated number of minutes. All Daycounts the number of dishes that the cook is readying at that particular time, as in 'I've got 2 lamb and 3 risotto all day.'
Cooked orders go from the Line to the Pass, a long counter surface where they're plated and picked up by servers. If the kitchen is In the Weeds with too many dupes, the orders won't be Coming On Up as quickly as they should. Conversely, if the waitstaff is Slammed the orders can sit there Dying on the Pass.
Learn to speak their language and who knows—the next time you're at your deuce in the FOH, you just might find yourself comped like a real PPX.

Aristotle's three means of persuasion--logic, emotion, character
That's an age-old question still very much unanswered. I once wrote a paper in graduate school arguing that ethos (character) is the strongest, but studies (especially quantitative ones) might rebut that. Ask yourself what is most likely to sway you: an appeal to your mind, an appeal to your heart, or your trust in the one making the appeal?
it depends on the reader
Logos, Pathos, Ethos was the priority they took in my history - but they are absolutely interdependent - they are an expression of universal energy - they are partly arbitrary division of the energies that determine the arc of our lives through the world - described from the perspective of a reasoning subject that is himself one such "flying object"

I haven't used any of these devices so I can't comment specifically. But, I'm curious why you aren't considering a netbook or tablet/netbook as I see you aren't requiring e-ink, yet are wanting added functionality?
Ah, I'm looking primarily for a e-ink device since that's what I would feel the best on reading professional journals and academic articles for extended periods of time. I would go for a LCD tablet if the options on the e-ink side are not good. But I also would need some minimal ability to access the web and some multimedia capability, since I don't want to have to bring this and my laptop with me all day at the same time.
For me a netbook just duplicates too much functionality with my regular laptop, which is actually not that hefty (slightly above 5 lb). And I would like some ability to annotate the texts I'm reading at the minimum; the ability to take notes and journal would be nice extras.
Both Adam and Edge would functionally be perfect. But one seems to not have any ETA at the moment; while the other is very heavy for a reader, and doesn't have android market access. So I'm sort of caught in between. Ipad and the nooks are just backups in case neither one works out.

You've come to the right place to work through all of this. There are a lot of great resources in the Healing Library in the upper left. A really good thread to read is "Things that every WS needs to know", here in the Wayward forum. I'll bump that up to the top here shortly.
I think going to IC is a really good step in the right direction, too. Like you said, figuring out why this happened, so you can fix whatever part of yourself allowed you to do this.
There's always hope. Even if things get dire for your relationship, you have to hold on to hope for yourself.
Again, welcome. Others will be along with more advice as well.
Welcome to SI. Great step in coming here to work through this stuff.
Wanted to ask you a question. Did you tell your gf how you were feeling about her moving away? And if not then why not? Perhaps you were afraid of being vulnerable in your need for her?
Some places to start perhaps.
I was afraid of telling her and she leaving anyway
Fear is so common. It seems we are all frightened. It sounds here too that as your gf has this image of you as the stable/steady type, that for you to reveal your fears and hurt around her leaving, was to disrupt this idea of who you are. But as you say yourself, that is something you would like to be, but isn't the whole truth of who you are. Which means, you have been dishonest for awhile. So who is your gf loving? Do you feel YOU as you are is not OK?
You see, neediness is such a maligned way to be, no one wants to be accused of being Needy, but in a sense we all are. We want to love and be loved fully, we want compassion and kindness and to be close to the person we love. But all these things have been reduced down to being NEEDY. I will admit my neediness. I want all those things listed above and I'm not going to apologise for them, or push them away and pretend I don't. Because when we shove away a big part of ourselves, that is when we act out in destructive ways to soothe our need. Our NEEDINESS. Which sounds like what you ended up doing.
So the very thing that could have been spoken to her about honestly from the get go, and also would have allowed her to make a decision as to whether it is for her or not, was taken away by now having to deal with your betrayal. And the end result of this is that yes, she may very well end it. Which of course could have happened if you were honest with her about your feelings in the first place, but at least then, you would know you were being authentic and yourself, and given her the opportunity to make choices for HER life and future, and whatever the outcome, known you had acted with integrity. Of course these are things you will be becoming aware of, and hindsight is 20/20, but its important to know ourselves really well, especially for any future relationships, or mending the one we are in.
It takes courage to stand up for ourselves and ask for what we want. However, as a wise friend points out - the growth really kicks in when the answer is No.
I hope some or any of this makes sense. And as we say on SI often - take what you want and leave the rest.
Take care Tennessee.

he puppets of Avenue Q, the Tony-winning musical about young adults finding their way in the world, are adorable. They look a lot like the Muppets. Until they open those cute little mouths. "We deal with a whole lot of parents who see the poster with a puppet on it and don't read the poster, which says, 'Please, for the love of God, don't bring your children!' '' says Robert McClure, who plays Princeton, a recent college grad with a B.A. in English. "They show up with three 4-year-olds, and when Kate Monster says the first 'F---! It sucks to be me!' they think, 'Wait a second . . .' Usually by the puppet sex scene, we might see a few walkouts.'' For all its shock value, Avenue Q, which opens Tuesday at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, has a delightful score by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx and won the 2004 Tony Award for best musical, beating out Wicked. Songs such as It Sucks To Be Me, Everyone's a Little Bit Racist and The Internet Is for Porn are witty slices of modern life, but the show also has an inspirational theme, summed up in Purpose, sung by Princeton. "A lot of people come expecting the dirty puppet show — which they get,'' McClure says. "They get the laughs and that wild sense of humor. But what they don't expect is the sucker punch of heart that the show does have. A lot of people leave having cared about the characters a lot. I think it's that search for your purpose that everyone can relate to.''
A learned skill
Avenue Q is an unabashed homage to Sesame Street, with characters resembling beloved Muppets like Bert and Ernie and Cookie Monster. Several of the actors who originated the roles on Broadway had been puppeteers for the PBS children's show or the Jim Henson Co. But the pool of puppeteers who can sing and dance is shallow, which makes casting a challenge.
"For the last three or four years we have hired actors who weren't necessarily puppeteers,'' director Jason Moore says. "We send them to puppet school for a week, Avenue Q puppet school, to see who has the skill to learn how to puppeteer.''
Many talented actors can't get the hang of synchronizing a puppet with words and music. "Some of the people we like the best before we add the puppet into the equation really sink fast,'' Moore says.
McClure says that having the actors visible (they wear nondescript outfits) as they work the puppets is what gives the show its power.
"You're getting the best of both worlds. You're getting the larger than life performance of the puppet and the intimate, human performance next to it. What the audience, I think, does is subconsciously combine the performance into one really fleshed-out character.''
Puppetry is an ancient theatrical device, going back to the commedia dell'arte of 16th century Italy and England's Punch and Judy shows. It's the key element of another Broadway smash, The Lion King.
Differing methods
Carla Renata has experience in both shows. In Avenue Q, she plays Gary Coleman — that Gary Coleman, the washed-up child actor who in the show is superintendent of an apartment building (a non-puppet role). And for three years, Renata played Shenzi, one of the hyenas, in the Los Angeles company of The Lion King.
"Most of the puppets in Lion King are body puppets, where your entire body uses the puppet,'' Renata says. "The puppets in Avenue Q are forearm puppets. The only puppet like that in Lion King is Zazu (a bird).''
To prepare for her role in Avenue Q, Renata watched DVDs of Coleman as the sarcastic Arnold Jackson in Diff'rent Strokes.
"It's a spoof, and it's hard, because there's a fine line between me spoofing Gary Coleman and me just being obnoxious,'' she says. "I tried to come up with certain physical mannerisms that he has, like the thumbs-up kind of thing. Of course I'm wearing overalls and a rugby shirt. He wore rugby shirts on that show all the time.''
All the American companies of Avenue Q have featured a woman playing Coleman, but in the London production, he is played by a man.
The Avenue Q Web site (www.avenueq.com) has a long list of celebrities who have attended the show, but Coleman is not among them. "We have tried to get him to come and I don't think he is too pleased with it,'' Moore says. "Everything we say about Gary in the show is true. I actually think he'd like it if he saw it.''
In 2005, Coleman said he was going to sue Avenue Q for its portrayal of him. A lawsuit was never filed.
On the move
Avenue Q took a controversial detour on the way from Broadway (where it continues to run) to a national tour. In 2005, the musical opened in Las Vegas for an exclusive engagement outside New York, upsetting presenters around the country who wanted it for their subscription series. But the Las Vegas show lasted only nine months.
"We were hoping it would end better than it did,'' Moore says. "There was a time when Vegas seemed like it might be an outpost for Broadway. I think that shows that are language based aren't really successful there. Mamma Mia! and the Cirque du Soleil shows do better.''
At one point, Moore cut the production at the Wynn Las Vegas hotel and casino down to a single 90-minute act, eliminating intermission and up to 15 minutes of material. "Some things played better in Las Vegas than in other locations, partially because people were drinking. It was a bit raunchier, too, and that went over well,'' he says.
One of the concerns about a tour of Avenue Q was the show's small scale. Its Broadway home, the Golden Theatre, seats 780, whereas many venues on the road are enormous. TBPAC's Morsani Hall has 2,600 seats.
Moore, who is directing a new musical adapted from the movie Shrek (which will include puppetry), due to open on Broadway in December, thinks Avenue Q plays pretty well in large houses.
"The big surprise has been that the puppets read better than people from a distance, because their heads are twice as big, their eyes are 10 times as big, their mouths are 10 times as big,'' he says. "Even from the balcony seats the puppets look great. You can see them better than the people.''

Ketone Formula Reviews
About Ketone Formula
KetoneFormula.com is the online home of Raspberry Ketone Fat-Loss Formula, a nutritional supplement from Applied Nutritional Research that claims to be a "miracle fat burner in a bottle."
Raspberry ketone is actually the phenolic compound that gives raspberries their smell, which makes it seem odd that they would aid in weight loss. However, studies have shown that this compound helps regulate the body's production of adiponectin.
According to Ketone Formula, adiponectin is a hormone which causes your body to boost metabolism. More specifically, though, this hormone regulates the metabolism of fat, helping it to break up more effectively and to burn faster.
The website also says that raspberry ketones help flush toxins from your body by cleaning and detoxifying your system and that their product is 100% raspberry ketones, with no fillers or stimulants and no negative side effects.
In addition, Ketone Formula says their supplement is 300 mg of pure raspberry ketone, which they claim is the highest dosage currently available on the market, compared to others who only carry 100 mg.
While studies have shown that raspberry ketone will help your body better burn fat without a specific diet or exercise, KetoneFormula.com says that if you're goal is to lose weight, then you should eat a healthy diet and keep an exercise routine for the most favorable and advanced results.
1 bottle of Raspberry Ketone Fat-Loss Formula is $37; 2 bottles is $74. If you purchase 3 bottles for $111, you will receive a free bottle, and if you purchase 6 bottles for $222, you will receive 2 free bottles.
KetoneFormula.com promises that any charge you agree to is a one time charge; you will not be enrolled in an auto ship program. In addition, they have a 60 day money back guarantee, as long as you follow the Refund Policy outlined in their Terms & Conditions.

39 Yrs Old, 1 Child, Breast Augmentation , 800cc over the Muscle – Omaha, NE
I went in as a 36 big B small C, knowing I wanted to end up with full sexy round breasts in the DD+ area. I was going to get 600 cc saline or that was my thought in my head. After my measurements were taken, I was informed that my chest width was wide enough to go bigger if I so choose. Well after trying on many sizers I picked out 750 cc salines. After going back to the hotel, we got a call... READ MORE

I am a law abiding citizen and where I live the law on CC is clear; pull and use your weapon to stop a person or persons directly engaged in attacking you, not to protect your property nor persons around you. We all know and me included we would break that law in the case of loved ones or in the case of a home invasion while your in your home.
Pulling your gun firing in the air would get my permit revoked and may bring a felony, it's not allowed here, neither can I move to act on behalf of the good of public saftey or as was stated "... a resoponsilbe gun owner..."; would I do something if I could, I don't know if I would give up my "safe" position of cover to get into the fight; if I did it would be under a very narrow circumstances.
My weapon is for my protection and I would extend that to my family, but if a bad guy wants my shiny new Silverado Z71 that I worked hard for and he got the drop on me (meaning his gun in hand pointed at me, mine still holstered) then I'm giving up the truck, they still make trucks, but my life should not end trying to out draw this bad guy. If he lowers the gun, drops his head, or is otherwise distracted where I have a second to get my gun on target, it's on, and none of that can happen from more than 10ft-15ft away.
Everytime we hear about a mass shooting we also hear least I have heard persons saying if I was there I woulda pulled my glock, my sig, whatever and did this or that, but having been on the other end of a gun barrel at close range from a car jacker, it unfolds quickly and in my case I was not carrying at the time and had I been I was seated in a car behind the wheel, not the ideal place to unholster a gun and get it on target and fire in the midst of the panic of seeing a gun pointed at me. So when persons say what they would do I just counter and say I hope you never have to find out cause you really don't know what you will do, as a gun carrier or not.

Lawbringer is the rune word 'AmnLemKo' for swords, hammers, or scepters in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction.
Lawbringer offers the very rare Slain Monsters Rest in Peace mod, making it a powerful switch weapon to use against enemies that make use of corpses, particularly Nihlathak. Otherwise, it's a decent weapon for attackers focusing on speed, as it offers Decrepify mod (somewhat offseting the lack of Enhanced Damage) and a Sanctuary aura that allows all physical damage dealt by the character to ignore resistance on undead enemies.
20% Chance To Cast Level 15 Decrepify On Striking
Level 16-18 Sanctuary Aura When Equipped (varies)
-50% Target Defense
Adds 150-210 Fire Damage
Adds 130-180 Cold Damage
7% Life Stolen Per Hit
Slain Monsters Rest in Peace
+200-250 Defense vs. Missiles
+10 To Dexterity
75% Extra Gold From Monsters

'Spider-Man' Spins Strong Midnight Box Office
Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man earned a strong $7.5 million in midnight screenings, which is the same gross that Sony had for midnight shows on Spider-Man 3 on May 3, 2007.
Of that $7.5 million, IMAX took in a whopping $1.2 million on 300 screens ($4,000 per IMAX screen).
Last year Transformers: Dark of the Moon had a somewhat similar debut over Fourth-of-July week:
Transformers: Dark of the Moon DAILIES

The first Spider-man movie was the first film to open with over $100 million taking in the now fabled $114,844,116 over the weekend of May 3, 2002 (virtually ten years to the day before Marvel/Disney's The Avengers became the first film to open with over $200 million.

Wed, 5/8/02 $8,315,369 Monday single day gross
6-day TOTAL $144,156,124
In 2004 "Spider-Man 2" shifted the franchise to a Fourth-of-July release pattern:
Spider-Man 2 DAILIES
Wed, 6/30/04 $40,442,604 Wednesday Single Day Gross
Thu, 7/1/04 $23,812,920 Thursday Single Day Gross

6-day TOTAL $180,072,888
In 2007, Spider-Man 3 went back to the first weekend in May release strategy and the results were impressive:
Spider-Man 3 DAILIES
Fri, 5/4/07 $59,841,919 Friday Single Day Gross (incl. Midnights of $7.5M)
Sat, 5/5/07 $51,336,732 Thursday Single Day Gross
Sun, 5/6/07 $39,937,865 Friday Single Day Gross
Mon, 5/7/07 $10,285,268 Saturday single day gross
Tue, 5/8/07 $8,042,682 Sunday single day gross
Wed, 5/9/07 $6,717,488 Monday single day gross
6-day TOTAL $176,161,954
Given this strong start, The Amazing Spider-Man should hold its own with its predecessors and benefit from expected great word-of-mouth that has already started with the critics who are giving the film very favorable reviews. General audiences are already getting the word out and thus The Amazing Spider-Man should be creating some Fourth of July fireworks of its own.

This quiche is the ilk that makes one's mouth sing. Yes, it is time consuming. Yet it is toothsome. Dreamy. Warm. Cheesy. You may find yourself closing your eyes as you chew, while your dinner companion's brow furrows with the effort of trying to identify the subtle flavor that you know to be nutmeg. Perfection wrapped in pie crust.
Pastry: In a chilled bowl, whisk together flour, salt, paprika and poppy seeds. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or a fork until mixture is thoroughly incorporated and crumbly. Do not over handle; chill if butter softens too much. Add cold water one Tablespoonful at a time, working mixture with a fork just until it gathers into a ball. Lightly roll it around the bowl to incorporate stray crumbs, chill if butter is softening. Roll out pastry on lightly floured parchment paper into a circle that fits your quiche or pastry dish. Transfer to baking dish, pinching dough up the sides of the dish. A fluted edge can be rolled above the lip of the dish if your pan is smaller. Sprinkle ½ of the cheese onto the pastry in a thin layer to prevent the bottom from becoming soggy. Set aside in the fridge. Filling: Preheat oven to 375ºF. In separate saucepans, sauté mushrooms and celeriac until tender. Place mushrooms in a layer in quiche dish, sprinkle with nutmeg. Next, layer the celeriac and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Whisk together eggs, sour cream, milk and herbs until light and fluffy, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Carefully pour over the vegetables without over-filling. Leave some room for vegetable juices and egg mixture to rise. Bake for 15 minutes and then turn oven down to 350ºF or 30 minutes or until golden and firm to the touch. A toothpick should come out moist but clean. Let rest at least 10 minutes to set and serve warm. Can also be served chilled or reheated.
An easy way to handle celeriac is to cut the top and bottom off, creating two parallel flat surfaces. Rest the celeriac on its flat bottom on your cutting board, and trim the exterior in strips from top to bottom with a large, sharp knife. The trimmed top will show you how deeply into the exterior you will need to cut in order to get to the fibrous interior with minimal waste. Once peeled, celeriac will somewhat resemble a pared potato. If not used immediately after peeling, celeriac will brown similarly to an apple.

Fresh Basil and Green Onions (or scallions) tend to be infested with aphids, thrips and other insects. Please check "Kashrut Instructions" below for instructions on checking fresh herbs for insect infestation.
- 1½ Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 (10 oz.) box couscous
- 1½ cups (about 6 oz.) Calimyrna or Mission Figs, thinly sliced
- 1¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ cup shelled pistachios, chopped
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- ¼ cup thinly-sliced fresh basil
- Combine 2 1/4 cups water, oil and salt in medium saucepan; bring to boil.
- Remove from heat; stir in the couscous, figs, and spices.
- Cover; let stand until water is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a large bowl and fluff with fork. Cool completely.
- Stir in nuts, green onions and basil. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Kashrut Instructions
DESCRIPTION: Fresh Chives, basil, cilantro, dill, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme are often used as spices or garnishing.
Please Note: Curly leaf parsley is very difficult to check. It is therefore recommended that only flat leaf parsley be used.
INFESTATION: Aphids, thrips and other insects may often be found on the leaves and stems of these herbs. Insects tend to nestle in the crevices between the leaves and branches of herbs. These insects can curl up and stick to the leaf once they come in contact with water.
Vegetable spinners, power hoses, and light boxes are not always available in the home. We therefore recommend the following alternate procedure.
RECOMMENDATION: In order to determine if a particular bunch of herbs is infested prior to washing, bang it several times over a white cloth. This is most important when checking oregano, rosemary, sage and thyme. If only one or two insects are found proceed with the steps below. If three or more insects are detected in a particular bunch of herbs it should not be used.
- Soak herbs in a solution of cold water and vegetable wash. The proper amount of vegetable wash has been added when some bubbles are observed in the water. (In the absence of vegetable wash, several drops of concentrated unscented liquid detergent may be used. However, for health reasons, care must be taken to thoroughly rinse off the soapy solution.)
- Agitate the herbs in the soapy water, in order to loosen the sticking excretion of the bugs.
- Using a heavy stream of water, thoroughly wash off the soap and other foreign matter from the herbs.
- Check both sides of each leaf under direct light.
- If one or two insects are found, rewash the herbs.
- If any insects are found after repeating the agitation process twice, the entire bunch must be discarded.
Please note: To prepare herbs for use in soups, such as cilantro, dill or parsley, wash them thoroughly and place them in a cooking bag.
INFESTATION: Green Onions, also referred to as scallions, have a white base that develops into a bulb. Its long, straight green shoots branch forth from the bulb. Light green or brown thrips may occasionally be found between the green branches where they protrude from the bulb. Less frequently, they can be found on the outside or inside of the long green shoots.
- A vertical cut should be made from the top of the scallion's green shoot to the bottom of the bulb. Examine three scallions from each bunch, paying careful attention to the area between the branches that protrude from the bulb.
- If no insects are found, wash thoroughly under a heavy stream of water or power hose and use.
- If insects are found in a scallion, it must be discarded.

Social Worker Tries to Force Parents Into "Training" Classes
The Wilkins family (name changed) was homeschooling their children in Palm Bay, pursuant to the Florida home school law. Little did they know their life would turn upside down when the Dad was seen lightly spanking their two-year old on the diaper in a parking lot.
The anonymous tipster called the police who met the homeschool father at the home when he returned. The father showed the police the 2-year old and they were satisfied that there was no injury. However, the incident was referred to the Florida Department of Children and Families. A social worker came to the home and talked at length with the parents and children. Although the social worker found no evidence of abuse, she demanded that the parents: 1) take 22 weeks of parenting classes through the County, 2) have a social worker visit once a month for an indefinite period of time to see how they are doing, and 3) sign a statement of release allowing the social worker to get documents and medical records from any source they choose. Then she indicated that they would seek a court order if the family did not cooperate.
At this point the family contacted Home School Legal Defense Association because they did not believe that the law required them to fulfill the demands of this social worker.
HSLDA Attorney Chris Klicka contacted the child protective investigator who at first did not want to back down from her demands. She indicated that the family was at risk. When Chris Klicka asked why, she told him the Wilkins have a large family (four children), they homeschool and have a low profile in the community, and they do not have daily contact with trained people who can detect child abuse, such as those who run the local public school. She also admitted that the children look fine and there was no marks on them, nor any concerns that abuse was actually taking place.
After much discussion on the phone, the social worker insisted that she would need to get a court order if her earlier demands were not satisfied. HSLDA immediately responded with a 4-page letter explaining that the Florida statutes say "corporal discipline of a child by a parent�for disciplinary purposes, does not constitute abuse when it does not result in harm to the child." This statute further explains that corporal punishment would only be abusive if there were clear-cut injuries (sprains, dislocations, or significant bruises). Furthermore, Mr. Klicka pointed out that in order for a child to be taken from a family, or a court order issued, there must evidence that the children are under substantial risk of eminent abuse or neglect.
In this case, the fact that they have a large family homeschool, and no contact with daycare centers or public schools, is not sufficient evidence to constitute a substantial risk of abuse.
Mr. Klicka ended the letter by establishing the constitutional and statutory right of a family to homeschool and the fact that if her risk factors were applied, every homeschool family in the state of Florida would be guilty of abuse.
The social worker finally withdrew her demands and the family is able to continue homeschooling without further harassment.
Social Worker Attempts to Intimidate Family with Police
The Morris family (name changed) in Orlando was homeschooling, but the parents decided to separate for a time due to some marriage issues. When the family returned to the home where the father was still staying, they were surprised to be met by a child protective investigator.
Apparently, an anonymous tip came from someone out-of-state, who invented a false story about the father. The family immediately called HSLDA after the social worker came back a second time. The social worker demanded to interview the children and demanded entry to the house. HSLDA Attorney Chris Klicka argued with the social worker over the phone for thirty minutes while she waited on the doorstep. Finally, in exasperation, after getting one police officer, she said, "I will get four more police officers." Attorney Klicka responded, "You can get a whole army of police officers, but you still cannot come into the home without a warrant." An anonymous tip is not sufficient evidence to get any type of court order.
This homeschool family had restored their relationship, but it was nearly broken asunder by the harassment of the social services. Finally the child protective investigator and the police left the house without gaining entry and interviewing the children. At this time, a family has been left alone.
Homeschool Family Thankful for HSLDA's Intervention
The Yancy family (name changed) in Bradington, Florida, were visited by social workers and immediately called HSLDA. An HSLDA attorney spoke to the social worker and kept her out of the house and away from the children. Apparently the allegations were made by one of their seven adopted children who was the only one not being homeschooled. He had made up a story about the family and told it to his science teacher. He had already been moved from the home two years ago due to his dangerous behavior. Nonetheless, the social workers came to the door demanding entry.
HSLDA was able to hold them off. The mother said, "This is why I spend 26 cents a day. People are crazy not to join HSLDA. I have an attorney ready to help me at a moments notice." Over the next few days, HSLDA worked out a compromise with the social workers allowing the children to answer some questions with the father present with the tape recorder. The social worker and the police officer said the report would be listed as unfounded.

CERR (pronounced 'sir') is a software platform for developing and sharing research results in radiology and radiation therapy treatment planning.
CERR is written in the widely-used Matlab language (version 7.0 or later), allowing for low-cost development of visualization and analysis tools.
CERR will import and display treatment plans from a wide variety of commercial or academic treatment planning systems (including both the RTOG format and DICOM-RT format).
CERR provides a common filetype for the creation of multi-institutional treatment plan databases for various types of research studies, including radiomics, dose-volume-outcomes analyses and IMRT treatment planning comparisons.
Use issue tracker to report issues.
Feb. 2014: We pushed a fix for an RTStructure import issue where slices were automatically filled-in for structures that were discontinuous in the axial direction (i.e. missing in-between slices). Here is more on how CERR assigns contours to a Scan slice and about the bug: CERR loops through all the scan slices and finds an appropriate RT-Structure contour to place at that location. In order to look for the RTStruct z-coordinate matching the corresponding CT slice, a radius equal to slicethickness/2 is used (which is alright). But, if a match is not found, this radius gets set to max(diff(RT_Struct_Zvals)). What this did was it automatically filled slices, that did not have RTStruct contoured, with the closest match. Thus, CERR would not allow RTStructs to be discontinuous in the transverse direction. This has been the case since very early version of CERR and looks this was done on purpose to make structures continuous in transverse direction by automatically filling the missing contours on in-between slices. But this behavior causes trouble when we have contours that are discontinuous in the transverse direction on purpose. Hence, this behavior has been removed. Note that this is a critical bug for CERR RTStruct import if structures were discontinuous in the axial direction. We working on a script to automatically flag buggy CERR plans by finding duplicate contours on consecutive slices and will let you know as soon as this is done. Until then, please use the latest code from gitHub that has the necessary fix for DICOM import.
Sep. 2013: We recently found a BUG in the PET import. This was related to using rescale slope (calibration factor) for PET within DICOM. This bug has affected previous versions of CERR. In some cases, the SUV max values of the PET image are truncated to lower numbers. The only way to fix previously imported PET data is to download the latest version of CERR and re-import the DICOM data into CERR. We apologize for any inconvenience.
