NEW DIRECTIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES INC Reviews

Invite friends and colleagues to share their experiences with this nonprofit
October 6, 2010
I have been a tour guide with New Directions for 12+ years. Because of my current job, I am not able to take as many trips with them as I would like. I know the travelers get a lot out of these trips - new places, new friends, new adventures, or, in some case, old places and old friends. Sometimes I believe the tour guides get more out of the trips by just experiencing it with the travelers. One of my favorite memories was at Disneyland, riding It's A Small Wolrd with a young man who is a deaf mute. The expression of joy and wonder on his face said more than any words he could have expressed. New Directions provides opportunities for travelers they might never have had the experience of knowing. I can't wait for my next trip with them in November.

October 5, 2010
When I completed graduate school, I looked around for a company that took people with developmental disabilities on vacations, as I had been doing on a smaller scale in NYC. I found several companies and worked for a few, with moderate satisfaction, but once I found New Directions, I was hooked. Far beyond any company out there, New Directions puts a heavy emphasis on the personal choice and respect of each traveler on tour. It starts at the top and flows down. Delighted with my first tour, I kept leading trip after trip, until I had to settle down and stay in one place. Now that I have a husband and kids, I just lead one trip a year - the Holiday Happiness tour in San Francisco. Seeing the joy in the travelers' faces and the emerging acceptance and understanding of everyone we meet on the street has made every holiday season extra special for me. Thank you, New Directions!
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I spend every Christmas with New Directions, seeing the huge difference they make for people who have no homes to go to for the holidays.

Cleveland Clinic to Open the Sydell and Arnold Miller Family Pavilion and Glickman Tower This Fall
CLEVELAND, Aug. 15 /PRNewswire/ — Cleveland Clinic is about to usher in a new era of advanced, patient-centered healthcare with the opening of the Sydell and Arnold Miller Family Pavilion and the Glickman Tower this fall.
The buildings represent the largest, most significant expansion in Cleveland Clinic's history, adding nearly 1.3 million square feet to its main campus.
"Cleveland Clinic has entered an era characterized by growth, innovation and patient-centered care," said Delos M. "Toby" Cosgrove, M.D., CEO and President, Cleveland Clinic. "The opening of the Miller Family Pavilion and Glickman Tower is a transformational event for our health system. Together, these structures will revolutionize the delivery of medical care for patients and clinicians alike, placing the needs of patients and their families at the center and providing the most state-of-the-art healthcare experience possible."
More than 37,000 supporters, in addition to lead philanthropists Carl D. and Babs Glickman and Sydell Miller and her daughters, Stacie Halpern and Lauren Spilman, helped make these impressive structures a reality, contributing in excess of $385 million to offset the project's total cost. A virtual tour of this historic project is accessible at http://www.meetthebuildings.com/ .
Cleveland Clinic will kick off the opening celebration of the two landmark buildings on Sept. 12. Patients will be moved between the end of September and the beginning of November.
The new buildings, characterized by their modernity and open and soothing spaces, provide the latest in medical technology coupled with the most advanced healing environment.
A rooftop plaza, an assortment of retail stores and food options, more than 1,000 works of art throughout the buildings and a tree-lined boulevard with six reflecting pools leading to Cleveland Clinic's new main entrance will magnify the Miller Family Pavilion and Glickman Tower's impact. Every aspect of this immense medical complex was designed with patients' needs in mind, from the most basic to the most complex.
The nearly 1-million-square-foot Miller Family Pavilion will serve as the main entrance to Cleveland Clinic and the new home of the Cleveland Clinic Heart & Vascular Institute, ranked No. 1 in the nation for heart care by U.S. News & World Report since 1995. The Miller Family Pavilion cost approximately $506 million, including medical equipment and construction.
"This is truly an exciting advance in the overall future of Cleveland Clinic's Heart & Vascular Institute and in the treatment of cardiovascular disease," said Bruce Lytle, M.D., Chairman, Heart & Vascular Institute. "This is also a true testament of how Cleveland is establishing itself as a destination for exceptional healthcare, delivering the highest quality patient care in a world-class facility."
The 330,000-square-foot, 12-story Glickman Tower, the new home to the Glickman Urological & Kidney Institute, will feature advanced clinical technology, a rooftop helipad for critically ill and injured patients and a new dialysis unit with picturesque views, as well as a sky-lit great hall. The Glickman Tower cost $128 million to build.
"For the Glickman Urological & Kidney Institute, our new building represents the history of innovation we've contributed to the field and the vastness of the contributions we are poised to lead in the future," said Andrew C. Novick, M.D., Chairman, Glickman Urological & Kidney Institute. "The space allows for us to continue our momentum in pioneering new surgical techniques, incorporating the latest technology, and, most importantly, continuously improving outcomes for our patients."
Together, the Miller Family Pavilion and Glickman Tower will house the most technologically advanced heart and urological care in the world including advanced 3-D imaging, robotic interventional surgical devices and a fully computerized communications system, providing patients with unparalleled medical care. Designed with the input of countless physicians, nurses and other key constituencies, the buildings create the most effective and innovative clinical environment possible.
"By integrating state-of-the-art clinical facilities, patient accommodations, public areas with breathtaking views and artwork throughout, the Miller Family Pavilion and Glickman Tower will provide a healing environment intended to maximize the patient experience," said Bridget M. Duffy, M.D., Chief Experience Officer, for Cleveland Clinic. "The most important thing visitors and patients will notice when they walk through the doors is the competent and compassionate care provided to every patient or family member."
The buildings will allow for the centralization of all the heart, urology and kidney care available to patients at Cleveland Clinic, eliminating the need for patients to travel to various locations throughout campus and allowing for greater collaboration among physicians. This is a prime example of Cleveland Clinic's new institute model, which calls for the delivery of medical care to be organized around organ and disease systems, rather than physician-specific departments.
The architect of the Miller Family Pavilion and the Glickman Tower is the Columbus location of NBBJ, a leading global architecture and design firm, and the construction contractor is The Whiting-Turner Contracting Co. The landscape architect is Peter Walker and Partners of Berkeley, Calif., a firm that has received many honors and awards and has won numerous design competitions, including the World Trade Center Memorial in New York City.
Cleveland Clinic, located in Cleveland, Ohio, is a not-for-profit multispecialty academic medical center that integrates clinical and hospital care with research and education. Cleveland Clinic was founded in 1921 by four renowned physicians with a vision of providing outstanding patient care based upon the principles of cooperation, compassion and innovation. U.S. News & World Report consistently names Cleveland Clinic as one of the nation's best hospitals in its annual "America's Best Hospitals" survey. Approximately 1,800 full-time salaried physicians and researchers at Cleveland Clinic and Cleveland Clinic Florida represent more than 100 medical specialties and subspecialties. In 2007, there were 3.5 million outpatient visits to Cleveland Clinic and 50,455 hospital admissions. Patients came for treatment from every state and from more than 80 countries. Cleveland Clinic's Web site address is http://www.clevelandclinic.org/ .

Salah Tarif (Arabic: صالح طريف; Hebrew: סאלח טריף, born 9 February 1954) is a Druze Israeli politician who served as a member of the Knesset between 1992 and 2006. When appointed Minister without Portfolio by Ariel Sharon in 2001, he became Israel's first non-Jewish government minister.[1]
Born in the Druze village of Julis, Tarif served in parachute and tank in the IDF, before graduating from the University of Haifa with a BA. Whilst at university he served as deputy chairman of the student union.
Tarif later became mayor of Julis, and chaired the board of Druze and Circassian mayors. A member of the Labor Party, he was on the Alignment list (largely composed of Labor Party members) for the 1988 Knesset elections. Although he failed to win a seat, he entered the Knesset on 3 February 1992 as a replacement for Ezer Weizman.[2] He retained his seat in the June 1992 elections, and in November 1995 was appointed Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs in Shimon Peres' government. He was re-elected in 1996, after which he was appointed Deputy Speaker of the Knesset.
He was re-elected in 1999 (in which Labor ran under the One Israel umbrella), and in 2001 was appointed a Minister without Portfolio in Ariel Sharon's national unity government, making him the first non-Jew to hold a full ministerial position. However, he left the cabinet in January 2002 when he resigned following the decision to prosecute him on charges of bribery and breach of trust,[3] though he did remain a Knesset member.
He lost his seat in the 2003 elections as Labour won only 19 seats, but re-entered the Knesset in November 2005 as a replacement for Amram Mitzna who resigned to take over as mayor of Yeruham. In January 2006 Tel Aviv district court upheld his conviction on these charges [4] and in March he lost his seat again following fresh elections.

The president is not wrong in thinking that this would be better handled in negotiations between the Palestinians and Israel. It would be wonderful if Israel itself were to sponsor a Palestinian state, but this is not going to happen as long as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in power.
He has spent his entire career trying to avoid Palestinian statehood with delaying tactics and maneuvers — seemingly willing to negotiate everything anywhere, but in reality putting up every obstacle he can in the path of peace and permanent settlement with the Palestinians.
Not that the Palestinians are guiltless in this stand off. They have had offers and opportunities they have not taken. But the entire Middle East is now in a state of flux and transition, and, as a practical matter, to try to keep the Palestinians frozen in their status as an occupied people without political rights is to ask for serious trouble — both for Israel and the U.S. The next Intifada will be far more destructive than the last two.
As a moral matter it is simply time to let the Palestinians have their state just as Harry Truman recognized that the Jews, after all they had been through in Europe in World War II, should have their state in 1948.
Many Israelis understand this. Former Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer told The New York Times that "the world is tired of this conflict and angry at us because we are viewed as conquerors, ruling over another people. If I were Bibi Netanyahu I would recognize a Palestinian State. We would then negotiate borders and security." But Netanyahu comes from the so-called "Revisionist" wing of Zionism that is reluctant to give up any part of what they consider the biblical land of Israel.
More on Israel: The end of Israel as we know it?
When David Ben Gurion on May 14th, 1948, declared that the state of Israel would come into being at midnight, America responded with de-facto recognition almost immediately. But the Soviet Union came through first with de-jure recognition, something the U.S. did not grant until an elected government had been formed in January of 1949.
Even with the two superpowers onboard, the U.N. Security Council did not grant Israel U.N. membership until May 11, 1949 — a full year after the state was declared — and after a long fight to physically secure its borders.
Palestine might come into being in reverse order — declare sovereignty now, gain admittance to the U.N., and then negotiate the borders with Israel, as Ben- Eliezer suggested.
More from GlobalPost: US tries to prevent Palestinian statehood bid at UN
There are many who say there are dangers involved in a Palestinian state, and they are right, just as those in Truman's State Department, including George C. Marshall, were right in warning that the creation of a Jewish state would cause a sea of troubles.
And there are those who say that the Palestinian problem is exaggerated, that it doesn't really matter if they remain an occupied people, because giving them their freedom would not solve all the issues of the Middle East or placate Islamic extremists. And they, too, are right. Giving the Palestinians their state would not solve all the issues of the Middle East, but it would surely help. Again and again, year in and year out, the centrality of the Palestinian problem never goes away. Even General David Petraeus, from his command post in Afghanistan, recognized that Israel's occupation of the Palestinians was hurting America's war efforts as far away as Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Richard Perle and David Frum, in their book, "An End to Evil, How to Win the War on Terror," submit that "in the Arab and Muslim World, the Palestinian issue has never been about compassion, mercy, or even justice. First and always, this issue has been about vengeance…", i.e., "the destruction of Israel and the re-conquest of the Holy Land." This might be true of some, but this is akin to saying the Jews in Israel want to take over Jordan just because that was an original "revisionist" goal back in 1947, or because David Ben Gurion once put feelers out to the British and French in 1956 that Jordan should be divided up between Israel and Iraq. Yes, some Arabs still might want to destroy Israel, just as some Israelis want to expel all the Palestinians, but that does not represent the vast majority nor government policy in either Israel or the Arab world.
The Obama administration tried its best to talk the Palestinians out of going to the United Nations to legitimize their state but failed. Given the administration's record, this failure was entirely predictable. Obama came into office seeming to promise a renewed energy toward trying to solve the Palestinian problem, following President Bush's near-total support for whatever Israel wanted.
Obama went eyeball to eyeball with Netanyahu over settlements, and the Palestinians saw that Obama blinked first. It was obvious then that Obama might talk a good game, but that the Israeli tail was always going to wag the American dog. The sight of Netanyahu who, having defied and insulted the American president, addressing a joint session of Congress with congressmen and senators of both parties jumping to their feet like jack-in-the-boxes to show their support, was all anyone needed to understand Israel's power in the American Congress.
The Democratic Party has to be mindful of pro-Zionist political support. But it is in America's strategic interest, and ultimately in Israel's interest too, to lance the boil of the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
If it was the right thing to do to recognize the state of Israel when it was first born, it is time now to grant the same rights and privileges to the Palestinian people. The Obama administration is always talking about being on the right side of history in the Middle East. The United States could abstain, if it must, but vetoing Palestinian nationalist aspirations would put us on the wrong side of history.

Cristen's Reason
This week our fantastic summer legal intern, Cristen Thayer, talks about why she supports the ACLU. There are many reasons to support the ACLU - this is Cristen's reason.
I have always found it disheartening that the people with the least amount of power in this country are often abused by the system, which is exactly what the Bill of Rights was intended to curtail. My undergraduate degree was in criminal justice, and ever since I was introduced to all the inherent problems with the criminal justice system, I have been interested in how one can combat these dysfunctions given that they are so thoroughly disregarded by much of society. When it comes to crime control in this country, most turn a blind eye based on the assumption that as long as the government is "tough on crime" and hell-bent on getting all the "bad guys" off our streets then there is nothing more to worry about.
But there is plenty more to worry about. There are major issues with our justice system and we have to address them responsibly. Our country's archaic practice of condemning certain convicted felons to death is one example of these problems. Such an approach stems from the dehumanizing of anyone associated with criminal culture. The view out there that certain people in our society can, and should, have their fundamental civil and human rights violated merely because they are in the criminal justice system is wrong and it is counterproductive.
More broadly, our country's tireless and exclusive focus on ever-harsher punishments needs to be challenged; in no way does it address the extremely complex social problems that affect crime. This is especially true when it comes to our drug laws, which have done little except put thousands of people—often nonviolent people—in prison. In the end, we need to reassess the way we currently view crime and come up with a better approach—one that actually helps the problem and doesn't merely lock up a major portion of our society as a knee-jerk reaction to sensationalized crimes.
The ACLU's protection of marginalized groups of society from unfair and illegal governmental treatment is the reason I am here. People should not passively accept and support mistreatment of these "undesirables", even criminals, just because they are powerless and unpopular. As long as there are groups out there like the ACLU fighting for everyone's rights and liberties, I am confident that slowly but surely we'll make positive steps towards creating a more enlightened and just society.
Ilan's Reason
Another in an ongoing series where we ask ACLU friends and volunteers: there are many reasons to support the ACLU--what's your reason? This week we hear from one of our excellent summer interns, Ilan Acherman.
But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever. -- John Adams, letter to Abigail Adams, July 17, 1775
I have always been a proud civil libertarian. Whether I was born with such a mindset or whether it was my parent's insistence on reason rather than impulse, my civil libertarian roots are deeply grounded. I also know how easily those liberties we now hold can be lost and how easily freedoms are eroded—not by evil men, but by those too weak or too lazy to think before acting on emotion. It is easy to react, easy to be angry, easy to say it is 'them' against 'us.' But it takes strength to stop and think, just for a moment, to see past the smoke of current events and take the long view.
What happens when 'them' becomes 'us,' as has happened so many times in the past? What happens when fear has led people to sign away their freedom to the detriment of entire continents? Every generation must face these questions, and in light of history as it has unfolded this past decade, it hinges on this generation to make the choices others have handled so clumsily.
The American Civil Liberties Union has been a pillar, a constant reminder of the meaning of Independence. The quote above is from John Adams, one of our country's founders and one of the first true believers in the cause for liberty. Although Adams was one of the leading voices of opposition against the British, he was also willing to defend British soldiers in a court of law when nobody else would. Even before the Bill of Rights was created, Adams recognized the importance of a fair and consistent government that can rise above popular passions. It is this moral consistency, the will to do what is right even when it may offend personal sensibilities, that lives on today in the ACLU.
But the founders were wrong about one thing: our freedoms and our rights, self evident as they may be, are most definitely alienable. Infringements on individual liberties occur today as they have in the past. It is up to all of us, and perhaps especially those of us working in the law, to ensure that these infringements do not stand. The ACLU, from its inception, has worked to make sure that the fears of the majority do not curtail the liberties we all cherish. I have always been drawn to the work done by the ACLU, and as an intern I am able to see firsthand the consistent effort needed to ensure that our freedoms stand strong. I hope to continue this work well into the future, and by interning with the ACLU, I believe I am getting good start on that future.
Ilan Acherman is a 2010 summer legal intern at the ACLU of Nevada's Reno office and a student at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas' Boyd School of Law.
Putting the "Public" back in Public Parks
Hey readers! We're back with big news this week in one of our long-running ACLU of Nevada cases, Sacco v. City of Las Vegas. Those of you who have been following us for a while will remember this one--it's all about feeding the homeless in public parks. Norhtern Coordinator Lee Rowland has more:
The ACLU of Nevada is pleased to announce that our nearly five-year legal battle with the City of Las Vegas over parks appears to be nearing an end. At the heart of this case is a debate about homelessness and the place of private charity in our community. It is our hope and belief that the end of this case, Sacco v. Las Vegas, means two things: that our clients may continue to engage in protected charitable activism in public parks, and that the public parks remain just that: public, open to all regardless of whether they have a steady income, or a home.
In 2006, the City of Las Vegas became locked in a bizarre war with homeless advocates, and decided that no one should be engaging in charity in the public parks. The City began ticketing good Samaritans who shared food with more than 24 people, under the belief that giving food to people already in the public park violated statutes requiring permits for gatherings of 25 or more people. When the ACLU of Nevada took issue with this interpretation of permit laws, the City took a more direct approach: it explicitly outlawed the sharing of food with anyone who looked poor. Like other advocates, our client Gail Sacco believed that a city mandate did not trump her duty to her God and her values: she simply began sharing her free vegetarian food on public streets and sidewalks abutting the parks.
Other homeless individuals were being kicked out of parks under a questionable trespass policy called "86"ing, where Park Marshals essentially took photographs of certain people – almost always homeless people – who were then kicked out of the public parks on pain of a trespass misdemeanor if they returned. The 86ing process had no paperwork, no right to appeal, and no due process whatsoever.
The ACLU of Nevada got involved because we believed the City's actions were essentially an unconstitutional one-two punch against the homeless and those advocating on their behalf. We firmly believed both that our clients had a right to engage in constitutionally protected charitable activity, and that everyone, regardless of income, has a right to enjoy their public park space. Since the City 'doubled down" on its anti-charity posture by passing the "no feeding the poor" law, we had little choice but to go to federal court. We challenged each of these practices – the "no feeding the poor" law, the permit process itself and its application to charitable activism, and the lack of due process in the 86ing policy. While the "no feeding the poor" law was immediately struck down by the court, our clients and the City remained at odds as to the other restrictions on the use of public parks.
Fortunately, the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, after hearing the parties' oral arguments, noted that the City and the plaintiffs were not so far apart on the law, and asked us all to participate in mediation to resolve our disputes. This week, we publicly released the result of that mediation: a signed settlement where the City, in exchange for our dropping the case, has agreed to pass certain modifications to the permitting and 86ing systems. Hopefully, the Las Vegas City Council will agree to these changes, we can all stay out of court, and the public parks of Las Vegas will go back to serving their purpose: a refuge for all members of the public.
A Startling Precedent
He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself. --Thomas Paine (1737-1809)
The ACLU of Nevada defends the constitutional rights of everyone – and that frequently means we have very controversial clients. Of course, there's a reason for this: when our government strains the bounds of the Constitution, it does so almost without exception against groups or individuals perceived as powerless or unpopular.
But you and I know that civil rights and liberties aren't tied to a popularity contest. Everyone's rights must be protected because everyone's rights are interconnected. When we represent victims of government abuse and win, that victory is important because it establishes not just a particular individual's right, but rather a limit on government power.
That's why a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision is so disturbing. Last week, the Court decided that the federal government can civilly commit sex offenders after they have completed their criminal sentences. You might think: so what? But the reasoning used by the Court to arrive at this decision is worth noting, because they determined that the federal government has "broad authority" under the Constitution's 'Necessary and Proper' clause.
What is that, you might ask? Historically, the power of the federal government to pass laws has been limited to the specific, enumerated powers laid out in the Constitution, and anything that's 'necessary and proper' to carry them out. In this decision, though, the Court ruled that an action by the government is kosher simply as long as it is "rationally related" to the implementation of a power granted by the Constitution.
"Rationally related"? Sounds pretty vague to us—and therein lies the problem. With this decision, the Court has drastically broadened the government's ability to pass laws on any number of issues.
The fact that the case involved sex offenders meant there was little opposition or controversy in reaction to the decision – and may, of course, have shaped the justices' attitudes toward the case. It's hard for many people to drum up empathy for criminal defendants in general – let alone those branded as sex offenders. But we should all have respect for the underlying constitutional rights, and an understanding of the impact that this sex offender case has on our own rights. When a Court grants the government new powers, the government can use those powers not only over those groups that are unpopular at the moment, but over all of us.
Some day this precedent will be used to approve another federal action – one that affects an issue you care about. This decision can be used to defend, say, the indefinite detention of terrorism suspects without trial, or it could be cited for the federal government's authority to engage in civil law generally reserved to the states.
As civil libertarians, we must be willing to stand up and defend threats to our rights and freedoms, and to speak out when government oversteps its role. Unfortunately, this Supreme Court case has made that role larger, and potentially more intrusive.
Stand Up and Salute the T-Shirt
Last week, a vice principal at a California high school disciplined several students for wearing American flag t-shirts to school. Yes, you read that right. The reason that this symbol of our great nation was transformed into a reason for detention? The students wearing them intended the flags to express a point of view – they wore them on the day of the school's celebration of Cinco de Mayo, honoring many students' Mexican heritage.
These kids intended their t-shirts to say something political: that they had a point of view that did not conform with that of the school or their classmates. In expressing this on Cinco de Mayo, their clothing took on a deeper meaning: a symbol of politics, patriotism, and dissent, therefore deserving of the First Amendment's full protection.
Fortunately, cooler heads at the school district took immediate steps to make sure the students were not punished for wearing the colors of the USA, but the ACLU of Northern California is rightly concerned about a school culture where such censorship remains a possibility. This incident certainly calls into question how we got to such a place: how could our nation's own flag be seen as a possible source of disruption in an American public school – a place where kids salute one every day?
This case is part of a long tradition of high school students exercising their First Amendment rights. In the 1970s several Iowa high school students, disciplined for coming to public school wearing black armbands in protest of the Vietnam War, took their free speech case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which famously noted in its opinion that students "do not shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate." The Court held that students have a First Amendment right to express themselves so long as that expression is not disruptive to the school day.
In reality, schools are a tightly regulated, sometimes sterile environment. The opportunities for non-disruptive speech are few and far between. No soapboxes in the cafeteria. No sandwich boards in crowded hallways. No political diatribes in algebra class. What's left for a public school student who wants to retain his individuality, or express her opposition to a government policy? The free, silent ad space between their shoulders: the message-bearing t-shirt.
Unfortunately, many school officials and culture warriors have been on a mission to eradicate even this one vestige of student choice. They argue for school uniforms, based on flawed arguments about school safety, gang colors, and 'useful' conformity. This approach will undoubtedly lead down a slippery slope where student clothing need not be 'disruptive' so much as 'potentially upsetting to someone (i.e., a teacher) in theory.' It is not hard to see how in this environment, administrators might become the t-shirt police, and imagine disruption where none exists – even among the stars and stripes.
It is critical that we stop infringing on students' last opportunity for truly free speech, and let them take advantage of their clothing to express themselves. And even, sometimes, make people a little uncomfortable. Democracy – especially one springing from our beloved First Amendment and its principles– is messy. We aren't doing our young citizens any justice by pretending otherwise in school by sterilizing and scrubbing all speech.
So let us pause and give thanks for the t-shirt: the last possible refuge of free speech in the public schools, the walking student billboard, the one medium that permits students to retain – and broadcast – some sense of self and politics even in the school environment. Our student citizens deserve a protected medium of expression, and those California high schoolers should be saluted for being the standard bearers of both the U.S. Flag and the U.S. Constitution.

Cleaning an Amplifier?
Hi all;
I'm new here and was wondering if anyone could enlighten me on just how to clean a Kenwood KA-701? Over time, it has gotten quirky, with channel dropouts and static. If I jiggle the knobs correctly, sound comes back until I change the volume, switch sources, etc. Then it may or may not drop out again, randomly between left and right channels. Seems like I need to clean it, but other than taking a can of air to it, I don't know how to do this. Thanks, Mike |

try switch cleaner, it comes in a spray can. Repeated switch operation before the liquid evaporates often solves the problem. Some are flammable (check the can) and should only be used while the item is unplugged. regards Andrew T. |

I use to remove transformer and S-Meters
And them, go to a real shower....with a soft brush passing soap or the material you use to clean your dishes..the neutral one....
And shower with the amplifier....before remove the wooden cabinet if the unit has that cover. Use sun ligth to dry it, or put is near your heater...not over it.... carefull not to melt plastics. Also you can use your wife turbo hair drier....wait 1 day over sun ligth and wind passing to install the transformer again together the Meters (if the amplifier use them). My environment is good for that.... sunrise all the year, and also the wind is always making noise in my windows....if you are in winter now...better to go chemical cleaner. Never use Alcohol, Amonia, and hard Petrol solvents....do not use thinner, carefull, only watter and soap and soft brush...those special fluids to remove hard dirty will erase the panel letters. Yes, i made hundred of times...never had problems...never! regards, Carlos

The first order of business would be to go ahead and
clean ALL of the controls and switches. I would strongly recomend using something like Caig DeoXit. This is available at radio shack. However Do Not use the cheaper Radio shack brand cleaner. Spray a small amount into each control. Then work it back and fourth a few times then allow it to set at least 24 hours before using the equipment again. Heres the cleaner I spoke of earlier. http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...5Fid=64%2D4338 Its also available here. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshow...=341-200&DID=7 Good Luck |

A can of Deoxit from Caig will last a long time. You wil find it works like magic - pots and switches you thought would never work again come right back to life after a squirt and a couple turns back and forth. You can even squirt it into push switches and such to good effect.
I use it daily on my bench - I service pro audio and guitar amps and such. I see no reason to let it sit a day, it is not conductive. And it doesn't take much, you don't need to flush out the controls, just get a film of this stuff going on. A quick squirt does it. Deoxit is not real good for sliders. It cleans them electrically, but then mechanically they do not slide as freely. For sliders use MCL Cailube, also from Caig Labs. Deoxit is available from many sources. |

Also, regular ethyl alcohol (the one sold in pharmacies) and cotton. I use it all the time to degrease and clean old parts, and while it's time consuming it always works great.

And this is story for this paper because... ?
a resident of Old Palo Alto

.....because hurricane Sandy is a huge, huge storm, and growing by the minute. It reaches from northern Florida all the way to southern Massachussetts. People in Manhattan have been evacuated, because the island is so low-lying that it will probably flood.
Sandy appears to be bigger in size than Katrina, and is hitting more highly populated areas. It is still picking up force. The potential for devastation could be more intense than Katrina, if the storm keeps getting more powerful.
FEMA is going to be overwhelmed by this one.

The purpose of this thread is to provide a place to discuss all things Tsuruya related.
http://a.imagehost.org/0574/tsuruya6tm1.pngTo keep the discussion enjoyable for all Suzumiya Haruhi fans, please follow the guidelines below and stay on-topic! Note: Please don't use this for the specifics (i.e. episode, chapter, game, etc. discussion) there are other threads for that stuff.Thread Guidelines
Hooray for Tsuruya! The girl that may as well be the sixth member of the SOS Brigade finally has a thread of her own!
There is MUCH more to her than meets the eye.
TSU-RU-YA! More than meets the eye...
Sorry, the set up was too good to resist. :p |
Matsuoka Yuki dos it yet again. This is Osaka with less space and more punch.
Call me crazy, but the icon seems to be of Asakura Ryoko rather than Tsuruya.
I still haven't figured out her popularity though I was enlightened enough to add a gif after an unauthorized borrowing of a Pelli-made Tsuruya gif. Then again, I don't think I'm supposed to understand a typical Haruhi fan. Most of em' are clinically insane after all.
Here is to Tsuruya, and her fans. Quote:
The gif has no fangs, monir.
She's more active in the spin-offs. |
Spoiler for former icon:
That is Ryoko in facts. -- Icon changed. I don't have Tsuruya animated gifs so it's a static for the moment. Fangs are there. Quote:
How embarassing it is for CrowKenobi to mistake Ryoko for Tsuruya.
Poor Crow...
I think if there's one character we can't resist, it's Tsuruya-san.
Tsuruya is really that fun character, and I'd say a reminder to the viewers that normal people exist in this world who can be dynamic on their own. Or there are people who can be helpful without getting involved. The only flaw with her is because she isn't an official member of the SOS-Dan, she doesn't appear very often. But, she's just so wonderfully dynamic. And even though this is from a doujin, she has Haruhi's personality and energy along with Mikuru's cuteness. (And don't deny it, Tsuruya drips with cute qualities.) |
I still love that part where she bust out laughing to Mikuru's movie lines I crack up every time, and what's more we might get to see it again, tommorow woo hoo.
well not really that was my 1st impression of her though but now it's more unlikely... she's just a really rich normal human... her family could potentially build a sliding machine lol. |
... For the record... if Tsuruya were a Transformer, I believe she'd turn into a ROFLcopter. :p
I loved when
Spoiler for future events related to Tsuruya.. click on own risk:
Woah there, easy on those spoilers. :heh:
I like the spin off Tsuruya's more than the cannon Tsuruya since one is Nyoron~! Too cute to resist for smoked cheese and the other one does martial arts.
Also bought 2 Tsuruya figures just to give Emiri a body. Who wants my extra Emiri head? lol j/k I got plans for that head. :p |

Tex-Mex + Casserole = YUM. I'm all about an easy meal. I'm also all about a good casserole. Stuffed full of cheesy, veggie, and meaty goodness-they are a one dish comfort food dinner. That's usually a recipe for disaster on the calorie front but once again eatingwell.com I'm becoming an eatingwell.com junkie or something. I've been pleased with every recipe I've tried from the site so far. The zucchini and sweet corn add a nice sweetness to the dish. I had to make a few modifications, and I was pleased with the end result. i used my favorite tortillas (Extreme Fiber Tortillas) in place of corn tortillas and I liked the results. This was almost like a Tex Mex lasagna.
Here's how I modifed the recipe: ~I used Extreme Fiber tortillas and I only used 8 of them instead of 12 corn tortillas. ~I also added ground turkey and a packet of Sazon seasoning. ~I forgot to get enchilada sauce so I used 1 14 oz can of tomato sauce and a can of diced tomatoes and chilis in place of it. ~I used only about a 1/2 cup of cheese. |

10 Best Seether Videos
Seether's longevity can be credited with their penchant for creating sustainable and catchy rock melodies. The South African rockers have never been afraid to take risks, showing a willingness to mix it up by adding in both blues and country elements to their hard rocking sound. That experimentation has also been evident on the video front, where the group has also generated a number of memorable clips.

The original team had a fundraising venture planned but that did not actually take "wings" Having said that we have enough pilots, all we need is to secure a couple towers and a captain which hopefully is starting to gel. Our plan is to keep the costs down by flying carbon re-enforced EZgliders. IT should also save weight and when we are done we can just apply some CA and poof nothing to pack home! |

No Arend for the Worlds????? What a tremendous loss to the F3J World Championships. Arend a close friend for over 25 years is certainly the most consistant F3J compettior in the game. He is one of the few to have competed in all previous F3J World Championships. As I recall Arend and Ralf were at the top of the scoreboard after the prelims at the last worlds,proving to be quite a combination. It is sad to see Arend step down over politics.
Canadas chances for any kind of finish will certainly be affected by their departure. Good Luck to the new Team ..Larry |

Battle of the Bands
Attention music enthusiasts! There are only nine days to go until the biggest marching band event in the nation! Yes, the Honda Battle of the Bands Invitational Showcase is back in Atlanta next Saturday, January 26 at the Georgia Dome. This year, 8 marching bands from Albany State, Alcorn State, Bethune-Cookman, Edward Waters College, Jackson State, North Carolina A&T, Tennessee State, and Winston-Salem State will be showcasing their unique talent and style for all to see.
Usually these performers are the halftime show, but there is a special treat in store for the Battle of the Bands' halftime. R&B superstar, Brandy will be performing live during the event fresh after the release of her new album, Two Eleven, featuring the hit single, Put It Down. This showcase will indeed be the event of the year.
Turn the Battle of the Bands event into a memorable weekend at the Artmore Hotel in midtown Atlanta, close to all of the action. We are less than 15 minutes from the Georgia Dome. We are conveniently located next to the MARTA-Arts Center Station, a few short stops from the Dome. Awesome bands…Vibrant boutique midtown hotel – a great combination.

In a move strikingly similar to Radiohead's industry upsetting pay what you like deal for its last album In Rainbows, Eidos has announced that gamers will be able to preorder the latest Championship Manager game for as little as a penny, plus a transaction fee.
The offer, which went live this morning on the official site, allows gamers to preorder a digital copy of the game ready for download just past midnight on September 11. Though the game can be ordered from as little as 1 penny, there is a £2.50 transaction charge added, bringing the minimum cost of the title to £2.51 – though gamers will then have to pay a further £5 for in-season updates should they decide they want them further down the line.
"This is the first time an initiative like this has ever been tried in the video games market," Beautiful Game Studio's general manager Roy Meredith told magazine Develop. "This is the best Championship Manager the studio has ever made, and we want as many people as possible to try the full new game, as once they try it, we're convinced they will come back again and again."
Eidos may be hoping to entice back some old fans after the developers of the original Championship Manager titles Sports Interactive jumped ship to create its own game, Football Manager, in 2005. The publisher also skipped the release of the 2009 version of the game to allow current developers Beautiful Game Studios more time to improve the title, in an effort to restore the series to its former glory after years of lagging behind Football Manager in terms of both sales and critical acclaim.
Gamers interested in the pay-what-you-want deal have until just before the game's launch on September 10 to get in on the offer, after which the game will return to full price. Fans of a physical product will be pleased to know that a special edition boxed copy of the game, complete with additional CM Season Live updates and bonus DVDs, will be available for £29.99 on traditional retail shelves on September 11.
