The Joel on Software Translation Project:About
From The Joel on Software Translation Project
An introduction to this site from Joel
A few years ago, a few hundred volunteers graciously offered their time to make Joel on Software available in over 30 languages. You can see the extraordinary results of their hard work here. I'm extremely grateful.
Just managing that translation project was a huge effort. I did as much as I could, then I turned it over to a brilliant and talented part time staffer, a student from Austria living in New York. Coordinating all the manuscripts, converting from Word to HTML, getting the hyperlinks to work -- it took a lot of manual labor, and was costing quite a lot of money.
Since then, I'm still receiving a trickle of translations, and of course, there are many articles, old and new, that have never been translated. The translated versions of Joel on Software were static, in fact, they were more or less stuck because I simply don't have time to post new manuscripts.
And there are always three ways to translate any one item, so I end up getting endless requests to change a phrase in, say, Dutch. Speakers of the Flemish dialect ask me to change it one way, then speakers of Netherlands Dutch suggest putting it back, and I have no idea what they're talking about!
Sadly, I fell down in face of the effort needed to maintain 30-odd local language versions. Such a job can't be coordinated by one person, especially when that person is me.
Luckily, in the time since 2002, the Wiki has been invented.
Well, OK, it was invented before that, but nobody thought it would work.
Well, actually, most people thought it would work, but I was too stupid to see it. I kept saying, "Wikis? Those will never work. Anyone can change the definition of, say, Podcasting, to 'fart fart fart,' and then what happens?"
Lo and behold, I was wrong, Wrong, WRONG.
Wikis work great.
So, I'm going to use a Wiki for the Joel on Software translations.
It's all set up and ready to go. Blank as the day it was born.
If you speak any language fluently, you can help.
If you don't speak any language other than English, but know how wikis work, you can help by organizing the new wiki, setting up tables of contents, copying over the old translations, and helping translators upload their translations to the wiki and get them formatted.
If you have a lot of time, you can translate something. Anything. A page from Joel on Software that you liked, a page from Joel on Software that you didn't like, a whole article, the whole dang UI book.
If you're feeling naughty, add some fart jokes to somebody's excellent translation. We'll see if the community spots it and fixes it.
If you have a little bit of time, look at the articles that were already translated. Find mistakes. Fix them. Find some jokes that got translated badly, and translate them better. Look for hyperlinks in the Klingon translation that go to the English version when there's now a Klingon translation of the linked article you can point to, and fix it.
Help set policies and guidelines. Collate people's collective knowledge of what obscure jokes mean, and how best to translate them. Create tables of contents, indexes, and cross references. Create local communities.
Don't wait for me. It's all set up and ready to go. Blank as the day it was born.

When Texans running back Arian Foster admitted he was getting money on the side during his college football career, some people who follow college sports thought it was a refreshingly candid admission of something that's widespread in the NCAA.
Instead, Vitale, the ESPN college basketball announcer, took to Twitter and said that Foster should have been honest about taking money at the time, rather than talking about it now. And Vitale used the word "prostitute" in describing how he views Foster taking money while he was an "amateur" athlete.
"When they put their hand out like a prostitute & take it they don't say a word – moaning yrs later = SAD!" Vitale wrote on Friday.
On Saturday, Vitale thought better of that choice of words.
"I apologize if it offended u that I used prostitute 4 athletes taking cash," Vitale wrote. "My wife agrees with u that prostitute was a bad term to use."
While his choice of words may have been unwise, Vitale's initial reaction was an interesting look at the way so many people within the college sports establishment view players making money. Vitale himself has become a multimillionaire thanks to college athletics, but it angers him when he hears about a player taking a little money. And that's common: Many of the people who have made the most money off college sports — coaches, broadcasters, administrators — are the people who are most outspoken against athletes taking some money for themselves. And when a player like Foster pulls back the curtain and reveals that "amateur" athletics aren't really about amateurism, sometimes those multimillionaires fear that their golden goose is being threatened.

Cars that talk: Commission earmarks single radio frequency for road safety and traffic management
As part of its overall fight against road accidents and traffic jams, the Commission decided today to reserve, across Europe, part of the radio spectrum for smart vehicle communications systems (so called co-operative systems). They are based on wireless communication technology and allow cars to 'talk' to other cars and to the road infrastructure providers. They can, for example, warn other drivers of slippery roads or of a crash which just happened. Smart vehicle communication systems have the potential to make safer and ease the lives of Europe's drivers: in 2006, more than 42,000 people died in road accidents in the European Union and more than 1.6 million were injured while every day there are some 7,500 km of traffic jams on the EU's roads. Today's Commission Decision also intends to foster investment in smart vehicle communication systems by the automotive industry, at the same time spurring public funding in essential roadside infrastructure.
"Today's Commission decision is a decisive step towards meeting the European goal of reducing road accidents. Getting critical messages through quickly and accurately is a must for road safety," said Viviane Reding, EU Telecoms Commissioner. "We should also keep in mind that with 24% of Europeans' driving time spent in traffic jams the costs caused by congestion could reach €80 billion by 2010. So clearly saving time through smart vehicles communications systems means saving money."
Today's Commission Decision provides a single EU-wide frequency band that can be used for immediate and reliable communication between cars, and between cars and roadside infrastructure. It is 30 MHz of spectrum in the 5.9 Gigahertz (GHz) band which will be allocated within the next six months by national authorities across Europe to road safety applications, without barring other services already in place (such as radio amateur services).
A typical example is the case of a vehicle detecting a slippery patch on a road: if it is equipped with a cooperative car-to-car communication device, it can deliver this information – thanks to the 5.9 GHz band – to all cars located nearby. If a traffic management centre needs to inform drivers about a sudden road closure, the alternative route to take or speed limits, it will also be able to send this information to a transmitter detector along the respective road, which then passes it on to the vehicles driving by.
Today's decision is an example of successful cooperation in Europe to establish conditions for interoperability and cross-border use of car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure communication. It will facilitate the development and testing of road safety related applications in the EU by providing a common and long term spectrum access to the automotive industry and road operators.
Today's Commission decision is part of the Intelligent Car Initiative, launched in 2006, which promotes the use Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to achieve smarter, safer and cleaner road transport (IP/06/191).

Veterans in the outdoor-graphics industry discuss how their companies have dealt with changes in the market and how other recent issues, such as the economic recession and the push for sustainability, have impacted their businesses.
By Lori Leaman
The outdoor-graphics market certainly is a competitive one. With frequent launches of new, faster, better printing equipment and consumables, along with customer demands for high-quality work and the pressure to adopt sustainable processes, producers of outdoor graphics are continually searching for ways to run an efficient operation and stay one step ahead of the competition. Screen Printing magazine recently spoke to five principals of high-volume printing companies about how they've adapted to the changes in the outdoor-graphics market.
SP: What, in your opinion, are the most important changes or trends the outdoor-graphics industry has experienced in recent years?
Gabriel: It is critical to develop lightweight, environmentally friendly solutions, while maintaining quality. Digital billboards, while not necessarily a huge part of the past, are becoming a significant option moving forward. If you agree with the major posting companies, by 2010, 10% of all billboards will be digital. As far as technology, quality is becoming much more accessible at a competitive price. The versatility and speed of the new [printing] machines is amazing, much more than it was 10 years ago, even five years ago.
Norris: Probably the changes in the past half dozen years that have affected the outdoor-graphic market that we participate in would be the development of air-egress channels in premium vinyls by all the leading suppliers and the continued development of faster, bigger inkjet printers.

Day 1
9:00 a.m
Friday Morning began early at the Hogle Zoo just as it was opening. We headed straight to the giraffe house to catch them in time for breakfast and then worked our way back, to see all the animals as they were coming out for the morning. We made a stop at the bat house and playground, and then headed out the front gate just as long lines were starting to form.
10:30 a.m.
The next stop was This is the Place Heritage Park just across the street from the zoo. After panning for gold and trading it in at the bank, attending school, and checking out some of the other sites we were off again.
12:00 a.m.
The Lion House Pantry is in the heart of downtown and is a definite do not miss on the connect pass. The menu is different every day, and we loved the chicken, salmon and desserts.
1:00 p.m.
A fun surprise for the day was the Museum of Natural History and was especially loved by our older kids. Unfortunatley the doors are now closed on the old museum as they are moving to a new building. It will be open again in later 2011.
The children's museum, Discovery Gateway, was a great way to spend the afternoon. There are attractions and activities for kids of all ages, but our favorites were the food market, stage(complete with curtains and costumes), the news station TV set, and the life flight helicopter on the roof. The Gateway offers great restaurants, shopping and the fabulous fountains for the kids.
Our day ended on a good note at the Clark Planetarium. The lobby alone is highly entertaining with three story maze full of balls, marble, lights, bells and whistles. We checked out the moonscape, and caught a night time show and then called it a day.
Day 2
9:00 a.m.
Saturday started with a trip up the canyon to the Utah Olympic Park. We watched a few ski jumpers in action before we were treated to a tour. The kids sat at the top of the ski jumps and bobsled run and were amazed to learn what goes into the winter sports that they usually only see on a TV screen. The museum offered a close up look at props and memorabilia from the ceremonies and interactive winter sports exhibits.
1:00 p.m.
The trip down the canyon included a picnic lunch at the park before we drove to the Snowbird Ski Resort. Yes, it is also an amazing place to go in the spring, summer and fall. The connect pass includes a tram ride for striking mountain views. If time allows, look into the hiking trails down the mountain. The resort would also be a great place to spend the night especially if there are off season deals.
3:00 p.m.
After the awesome views from above it was time to check out life under the sea at the Living Planet Aquarium. Both the small and the tall loved petting the sting rays and laughing at the penguins before the adventure continued on.
6:00 p.m.
The evening started with swinging past our favorite burger stop for dinner as we headed to our last destination, Thanksgiving Point. The connect pass includes admissions to both the Gardens and the Museum of Ancient Life. As the sun set, the kids raced and played in the never ending fun of the Children's Garden and the last hour of the day was spent in total happiness at the sand and water table in the museum.
We only made it to ten of the thirteen attractions offered through the connect pass. We would also love to see the Tracey Aviary, Red Butte Gardens, and the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. Lucky for us, spring break is coming, so we will see you there.
For a little vacation and big adventure check out the city pass for a city near you.

A pleasant fall allowed farmers to work their fields before the soil froze. Now the dark Illinois soil and the radiant energy of the sun keep our days warm since there is no snow in central Illinois. Of course farmers do not influence weather — weather controls us. Often the local weather forecaster comments that the nights would be much colder if snow were on the ground.
A week ago a retiring farmer had an auction a day after the biggest snowfall of the winter — 1 in. The snow was half melted by the end of the auction and was completely gone 36 hrs. after it fell. The auction was near the railroad siding I bought in Bushnell, Ill. Only a couple of trains a week traverse these tracks, so getting a picture of a train going through the snow this winter would be nearly impossible.
Boot testing
My daughter Marie and I received a new pair of insulated boots to evaluate this winter for a magazine article. But I haven't had the opportunity to wear these boots in snow with the temperature below 10 degrees. There have been a few snowless days of below 10 degrees but the days with snow have always been above 25 degrees. The boots look nice and make a neat popping sound when I put them on, but I really cannot say they function as intended — yet.
The warm winter is a common topic of conversation among farmers. Many "if" and "then" stories are being told by older residents or come from folklore regarding the weather. An example: "If the winter is mild, then there will not be a flood until after July 4th." Most of these stories seem like nonsense to me. However, all the stories have a common outcome regarding growing crops the following summer, which is not good for farmers. The negative "then" part of the stories range from grasshopper plagues to tornados. The truth is weather is weather, but we always seem to grow a crop in this part of Illinois.
Cattlemen's convention in Nashville
Last week Carol and I went to the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) convention in Nashville, Tenn. Daughters Marie and Renee stayed home and took care of the cattle. This was our first opportunity to get away by ourselves since Marie was born 18 years ago. This was also the first time either of us had been to Nashville or attended such a convention.
Attending grain market outlook meetings is common for me. The meetings I attend are sponsored by agribusiness companies that get speakers to spin their message toward "grain prices may go lower — but will eventually go higher." For the first time ever, I sat in a crowd of a few thousand people who wanted grain prices to go down.
Guess what? The speaker used much of the same data and charts to give a subtle message of "corn prices will go down a $1/bu. by October." Exiting the meeting room, I realized I have never seen a suicide prevention group handing out leaflets after any market outlook meeting that I have attended. We always leave happy.
Marie and Renee do well at livestock judging contests. Carol and I thought we would try to win a prize in the adult livestock judging contest until we got to the Brangus heifer class. Neither of us had ever seen a group of four Brangus (Brahma-Angus cross best suited for hot climates) heifers before. Being clueless about the Brangus heifer class kept the prizes away from us. Sitting on a king's throne drinking a beer while getting a shoeshine dissipated any ill feelings I was having about Brangus heifers.

Bicycle Parking on Campus
Did You Know...?
The National Bike Registry estimates that one million bicycles are stolen each year in the United States, many without locks or improperly secured.
Sonoma State University provides bike racks in dozens of areas around campus that allow students, faculty, staff and visitors to secure bicycles. Using designated bike racks and a quality lock is the best thing you can do to avoid becoming a victim of bicycle theft.
The Parking Policy requires that these bike racks be used for securing bikes at all times. Riders may not secure bikes to trees, handrails, sign posts or other objects at any time. This practice does not make your bike more secure and often endangers the safety of others. Bikes improperly secured may be removed.

While most games provide some form of plot, other games rely on nonverbal cutscenes and visual cues to give you a gist of where you are and what you're doing. Mighty Wardens is one of those games. It's filled with button-mashing combat and is occasionally interrupted by cutscenes of orcs beheading noble-looking monarchs to convince you that you're fighting for the good guys. Of course, plot isn't really the selling point of a side-scrolling action game, but we appreciated the non-intrusive story delivery all the same.
In Mighty Wardens, you choose one of four classes to help out the monarchs through a single-player or co-operative multiplayer campaign, or you can instead choose to go straight for glory in battle against one to three other foes in an arena. Your progress with each class is saved, so if you level up your Druid, it will remain at that level even if you decide to roll with the Battle Mage for a while.
Hey! If you're going to fight, do it outside!
Regardless of class, the game mechanics are very simple: a mostly invisible joystick and three buttons, one each for attacking, jumping, and using a special move. You encounter waves of not greatly varying enemies as you venture through each level, which include somewhat generic settings of forests and castles and mountains, and do battle with them using simple but fun combos and class-specific attacks. You can save items in your inventory to be used by your other characters, and you can buy more in the surprisingly infrequent shops– however, loot you find usually serves you better than the shops, which serve more as prompts to spend real money on the highest-end weapons and armor.
The game benefits from a simple design that doesn't require much attention be paid to inventory management or skill development (good or bad depending on the gamer), leaving more time for paving your way through hordes of enemies. We hesitate to say that these enemies are cute, but the relatively charming animation calls for that term; stunted characters with occasionally bulging eyes carrying disproportionately-sized weapons are rather adorable, even when they are hacking away at each other.
That's better.
The multiplayer modes have potential, but only if you bring friends, because the auto-match times we experienced were long and lonely. While this is no fault of the developer, we found ourselves turning to the single-player campaign more often than not. There are enough achievements and reasons to replay the campaign (four reasons to be precise– one for each class) to redeem the multiplayer weakness, but the game doesn't have enough variety to make you want to max out the levels for all four classes. Still, fans of the genre will enjoy this well polished and simple action experience.

Type: Improvement
Status: Open
Priority: Minor
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects versions: Release 1.6, Release 1.5
Fix versions: None
The original description when this ticket was vetted is below, starting with "Reported by cemer...@snowtide.com, June 01, 2009". This prefix attempts to summarize the issue and discussion.
Several Clojure functions involving agents and futures, such as future, pmap, clojure.java.shell/sh, and a few others, create non-daemon threads in the JVM in an ExecutorService called soloExecutor created via Executors#newCachedThreadPool. The javadocs for this method here http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/Executors.html#newCachedThreadPool%28%29 say "Threads that have not been used for sixty seconds are terminated and removed from the cache." This causes a 60-second wait after a Clojure program is done before the JVM process exits. Questions about this confusing behavior come up a couple of times per year on the Clojure Google group. Search for "shutdown-agents" to find most of these occurrences, since calling (shutdown-agents) at the end of one's program typically eliminates this 60-second wait.
% java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main -e "(println 1)" 1 [ this case exits quickly ] % java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main -e "(println @(future 1))" 1 [ 60-second pause before process exits, at least on many platforms and JVMs ]
Summary of comments before July 2014:
Most of the comments on this ticket on or before August 23, 2010 were likely spread out in time before being imported from the older ticket tracking system into JIRA. Most of them refer to an older suggested patch that is not in JIRA, and compilation problems it had with JDK 1.5, which is no longer supported by Clojure 1.6.0. I think these comments can be safely ignored now.
Alex Miller blogged about this and related issues here: http://tech.puredanger.com/2010/06/08/clojure-agent-thread-pools/
Since then, two of the suggestions Alex raised have been addressed. One by CLJ-378 Closed and one by the addition of set-agent-send-executor! and similar functions to Clojure 1.5.0: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/changes.md#23-clojurecoreset-agent-send-executor-set-agent-send-off-executor-and-send-via
One remaining issue is the topic of this ticket, which is how best to avoid this 60-second pause.
Approach #1: automatically shut down agents
One method is mentioned in Chas Emerick's original description below, suggested by Rich Hickey, but perhaps long enough ago he may no longer endorse it: Create a Var *auto-shutdown-agents* that when true (the default value), clojure.lang.Agent shutdown() is called after the clojure.main entry point. This removes the surprising wait for common methods of starting Clojure, while allowing expert users to change that value to false if desired.
Approach #2: create daemon threads by default
Another method mentioned by several people in the comments is to change the threads created in agent thread pools to daemon threads by default, and perhaps to deprecate shutdown-agents or modify it to be less dangerous. That approach is discussed a bit more in Alex's blog post linked above, and in a comment from Alexander Taggart on July 11, 2011 below.
Approach #3:
The only other comment before 2014 that is not elaborated in this summary is shoover's suggestion: There are already well-defined and intuitive ways to block on agents and futures. Why not deprecate shutdown-agents and force users to call await and deref if they really want to block? In the pmap situation one would have to evaluate the pmap form.
Approach #4: Create a cached thread pool with a timeout much lower than 60 seconds
This could be done by using one of the ThreadPoolExecutor constructors with a keepAliveTime parameter of the desired time.
Patch: clj-124-v1.patch clj-124-daemonthreads-v1.patch
At most one of these patches should be considered, depending upon the desired approach to take.
Patch clj-124-v1.patch implements appproach #1 using *auto-shutdown-agents*. See the Jul 31 2014 comment when this patch was added for some additional details.
Patch clj-124-daemonthreads-v1.patch implements approach #2 and is straightforward.
Reported by cemer...@snowtide.com, Jun 01, 2009 There has been intermittent chatter over the past months from a couple of people on the group (e.g. http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/409054e3542adc1f) and in #clojure about some clojure scripts hanging, either for a constant time (usually reported as a minute or so with no CPU util) or seemingly forever (or until someone kills the process). I just hit a similar situation in our compilation process, which invokes clojure.lang.Compile from ant. The build process for this particular project had taken 15 second or so, but after adding a couple of pmap calls, that build time jumped to ~1:15, with roughly zero CPU utilization over the course of that last minute. Adding a call to Agent.shutdown() in the finally block in clojure.lang.Compile/main resolved the problem; a patch including this change is attached. I wouldn't suspect anyone would have any issues with such a change. ----- In general, it doesn't seem like everyone should keep tripping over this problem in different directions. It's a very difficult thing to debug if you're not attuned to how clojure's concurrency primitives work under the hood, and I would bet that newer users would be particularly affected. After discussion in #clojure, rhickey suggested adding a *auto-shutdown-agents* var, which: - if true when exiting one of the main entry points (clojure.main, or the legacy script/repl entry points), Agent.shutdown() would be called, allowing for the clean exit of the application - would be bound by default to true - could be easily set to false for anyone with an advanced use-case that requires agents to remain active after the main thread of the application exits. This would obviously not help anyone initializing clojure from a different entry point, but this may represent the best compromise between least-surprise and maximal functionality for advanced users. ------ In addition to the above, it perhaps might be worthwhile to change the keepalive values used to create the Threadpools used by c.l.Actor's Executors. Currently, Actor uses a default thread pool executor, which results in a 60s keepalive. Lowering this to something much smaller (1s? 5s?) would additionally minimize the impact of Agent's threadpools on Java applications that embed clojure directly (and would therefore not benefit from *auto-shutdown-agents* as currently conceived, leading to puzzling 'hanging' behaviour). I'm not in a position to determine what impact this would have on performance due to thread churn, but it would at least minimize what would be perceived as undesirable behaviour by users that are less familiar with the implementation details of Agent and code that depends on it. Comment 1 by cemer...@snowtide.com, Jun 01, 2009 Just FYI, I'd be happy to provide patches for either of the suggestions mentioned above...

Alcohol Service Policy Considerations
Developing a policy for alcohol service ensures that employees will not serve or sell alcohol to underage or obviously intoxicated customers. The following items will help you create an effective policy which protects both your employees and your business.
1. What is your policy on prohibiting sales or service of alcohol to individuals under the age of 21 years old? How will you communicate and reinforce this?
2. When will employees receive a copy of the policy? Are they required to sign that they received the policy and read it?
3. Are employees required to attend Alcohol Server Training upon hire? Annually thereafter?
4. What other types of ongoing training will you provide? Policy and procedures manual; employee agreement; memos; staff meetings; demonstrated competency; on-the-job acknowledgements, audits, and refreshers by management?
5. How will you communicate valid forms of ID including drivers' licenses, state ID, military ID, and passports? If the ID is expired, it is not valid.
6. How will you demonstrate adequate methods of checking ID?
a. Compare picture on ID with the customer
b. Check birthday
c. Examine the card for signs of falsification or tampering
d. Use of an electronic ID card reading device/scanner
e. Check the US Driver License Booklet if unsure.
7. Where is the US Driver License Booklet located?
8. Will you have a minimum age/appearance for carding or will you card everyone? Will you card all guests after (9) p.m.?
9. Where will you post signs about your alcohol service policy?
10. Where will you post signs informing customers about alcohol laws?
11. How will you discourage over intoxication? Will you deny guests entry if they are intoxicated?
12. How will you handle situations where it appears someone is purchasing alcohol for an underage person?
13. How will you make reasonable efforts to prevent an obviously intoxicated person from driving home?
14. How will you prevent employees or customers from drinking on the premises after hours?
15. Will management support employee's decisions to refuse sale to individuals who are overly intoxicated, under the age of 21, or intended for someone underage?
16. Will you conduct Youth Alcohol Compliance Checks/Self Audit? How often?
17. Are there rewards for employees who pass Youth Alcohol Compliance checks?
18. What are the consequences for violating this alcohol service policy? Warning? Probation? Suspension? Termination?

text: Many sites are nowadays getting hacked after a trojan spied on the webmaster's passwords for ftp and sends them out to the bad guys. So I have the following idea for feature requests: - please provide a "deactivate" button on the ftp accounts list. the effect of the button would be the same as the current delete button, but ISPC would retain the settings and account name, so that the account could be reinstated with one click. - please provide a "reactivate for duration X" function for FTP accounts. For example, FTP accounts could be reactivated for 1, 2, 24 hours and then ISPC would automatically deactivate the account again. - please provide the possibility to specify *PER FTP ACCOUNT* IP addresses and IP ranges that are allowed to access the FTP account. This is something I would definitely use on my servers!

I have been seeing many soy milk posts recently, motivated and made some myself yesterday. The last time I made soy milk was two decades ago, almost! Yes, I am that old. Handmade then, so as now. Feeling like outdated now, many people are using soy milk maker but I am still handmade.
I made with only 200 grams of soybeans yielded more than a liter of super thick soy milk. It was very smooth and creamy, which was way too creamy that I had to dilute it with water when I drink it. 50% soy milk + 50% water, still thicker than those selling at hawkers!
I am sharing traditional handmade method, if you have a soy milk maker just follow the instruction on the maker. Sugar can be added when cooking the milk, or prepare syrup separately and add to unsweetened soy milk just before serving.
Ingredients (makes 1-2 liters):
200 g soybeans
- Rinse then soak soybeans for at least 4 hours or overnight if the weather is cold. Drain well.
- Blend/puree soybeans with fresh water, in batches if the blender jug is not big enough. Prepare about 2 liters of water, add into the blender jug as needed. Blend until smooth paste/mixture stage.
- Filter the pureed soybeans with a muslin cloth, twist and squeeze the milk into a pot.
- Bring soy milk to a boil then simmer for about 5 minutes, stir constantly. Sugar can be added at this point, or else turn the heat off and put the lid on.
- Let it cool down slightly, serve warm of chilled.
Cook's notes:
- Screw pine (pandan) leaves can be added in step (4) if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of water for desired consistency.
- When cooking the soy milk, stirring it constantly is very important to prevent it from drying out on the surface. If it does, strain cooked soy milk and discard the solid pieces.
- Reserve the okara (soybean pulp) for other purposes (cake, biscuit, meatloaf, etc).

PRESS RELEASE: The Deal with Iran is a Dangerous Mistake: Canada is right in being skeptical and refusing to ease the sanctions in Iran!0 comments - published on Wednesday, November 27, 2013
November 27th, 2013
Attention: Assignment Editor, City Editor, News Editor, World News Editor, Government/Political News Editor
The interim agreement signed by the Islamic Regime and the International Community is a dangerous mistake which may lead to serious consequences. The Regime in Iran buckling under international pressure and the weight of the sanctions has managed to obtain an excellent deal from the international community while making almost zero concessions.
The new deal will give the regime a much needed relief from the sanctions at least for the next six months, while buying them much needed time to continue working on enriching uranium and moving closer to acquiring nuclear weapons.
Another unfortunate effect of the recent deal, which promises to give the Regime relief from back breaking sanctions is the fact that the issue of serious and systematic human rights violations committed by the regime against the people of Iran seem to have taken a back seat along with the regime's financial support for terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah and Hamas.
By making a deal with Iran that only focuses on the nuclear issue the international community has given a green light for the regime to continue to oppress its own people and to silence the strong voices of dissent inside Iran that has been calling for the complete overthrow of the Islamic Regime in Iran.
The threat posed by the Islamic Regime in Iran both domestically and internationally is real and should not be taken lightly. Canada is right to be skeptical about Iran's intentions and to refuse to ease the sanctions on Iran.

PRESS RELEASE: Rally on Queens Park to Oppose Mass Executions in Iran: Wednesday November 6th 2013, 12:00-2:00 p.m., Join Us to say No to Executions & No to Islamic Regime in Iran!0 comments - published on Monday, November 04, 2013
November 4th 2013
Attention: Assignment Editor, City Editor, News Editor, World News Editor, Government/Political News Editor
Since the [S]election of Hassan Rouhani in Iran, the Islamic Regime has gone on a rampage of mass executions in order to create an atmosphere of fear and terror among Iranians, in an attempt to prevent any opposition against the Regime. The past week alone saw the executions of more than 30 people including a well known Kurdish political prisoner Shirkuh Moarefi who was executed this morning!
Sayeh Hassan an Iranian Canadian lawyer, blogger and pro-democracy activist stated "With the [S]election of Hassan Rouhani not only has the human rights conditions in Iran have not improved but they have become considerably worse. Since Rouhani's raise to power in June of 2013 more than 300 people have been executed in Iran. Many of the individuals who have been executed are political prisoners of Balouchi and Kurdish ethnicity including well known activists Habibullah Golparipour and Shirkuh Moarefi. There are many more political prisoners who face the imminent risk of execution."
Ms. Hassan further stated: "It is unfortunate that the Harper Government which has been one of leaders within the International Community in condemning Iran's Human Rights violations has decided to remain silent in the face of recent mass executions in Iran. It appears that as long as there may be a chance of small concessions by the Islamic Regime regarding the nuclear issue that the International Community including the Harper Government is willing to turn a blind eye on the massive human rights violations committed by the Islamic Regime including the mass executions."
Ms. Hassan lastly stated: "In the face of total silence of the Canadian Government and majority of the main stream media on the issue of mass executions in Iran, Iranian Canadian activist have organized a rally for Wednesday November 6th 2013 on Queens Park from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. in order to raise awareness about the mass executions and to urge the Canadian Government and media to break their silence with respect to this issue. We invite all groups and organizations who condemn the recent executions in Iran to join us on Queens Park and say No to Executions and No to Islamic Regime in Iran!

- Harris Ashton '54
- Benjamin Balme '61
- Nancy Cahill '79
- Donald Dell '60
- Christopher Getman '64
Special Award:
- Jack Embersits '58
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Yale Athletic Department honored the 2011 recipients of the George H.W. Bush '48 Lifetime of Leadership Award at the gala Blue Leadership Ball last Friday at the William K. Lanman Center inside Payne Whitney Gym. The class of 2011 Bush Award winners included Harris Ashton '54, Benjamin Balme '61, Nancy Cahill '79, Donald Dell '60 and Christopher Getman '64. In addition, the late Jack Embersits '58 received a special Bush award.
It was the sixth biennial Blue Leadership Ball, which brought together more than 450 alumni, friends of Yale Athletics and current student-athletes.
The 2011-12 Yale captains opened the event along with the Yale Precision Marching Band with a rousing rendition of Bulldog. Each recipient later spoke of the importance of Yale Athletics, leadership and giving back in their lives. The event also featured the "Once in a Lifetime" Auction which benefitted the event and Yale Athletics.
Jack Ford ' 72 served as the master of ceremonies and Jon Reese '90 served as Chair of the event.
Ashton, who earned three letters for the football team, served as the chairman, president and CEO of the General Host Corp. from 1970 to 1997. He was the chief administrative officer for the company for three years. In addition he was on the board of directors for Bar-s Food Company, 49 Franklin Templeton Group of Funds and RBC Holdings (USA) Inc. A graduate of Columbia Law School, he was a trustee for the United Cerebral Palsy Research & Education Foundation and was on the board of directors for the Madison Square Garden Boys & Girls Club.
Balme, a two-year letterwinner for the football team, has been a renowned orthopedic surgeon in the Portland, Ore., area for nearly 40 years. At Yale, he earned All-Ivy, All-East and All-America honors in 1960 and was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles. He spent two years with the Eagles before attending Yale Medical School. He served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War and was stationed at a hospital in Da Nang, where he operated on front line casualties. One of his patients was Watts Humphrey '66, a Yale quarterback who Balme had watched play while in medical school. Balme also has travelled to Honduras and South Africa on several occasions to provide volunteer surgical services to impoverished youth and families.
Cahill, a swimmer and softball player at Yale, has spent 25 years practicing law and is now a principal with Holman, Cahill, Garrett, Oliver & Anderson in Seattle, Wash. Cahill has established several dozen public and private foundations in the non-profit sector and advises on charitable giving to benefit entities and programs in the United States and third world countries. The charities have made grants in excess of $400 million to support programs in the U.S. and elsewhere. Cahill also has remained active in the Yale community. She was one of nine founders of WISER, an endowment that has raised more than $1 million to support women's athletics at Yale. In addition, she was the Yale Association of Western Washington president from 1986 to 2011. Cahill is currently an officer and director for the Seattle Children's Hospital & Regional Medical Center Legacy advisory board and serves as the volunteer chaplain for the WNBA's Seattle Storm, which is owned by two former Yale athletes Lisa Brummel and Ginny Gilder.
Dell, the captain of the undefeated 1959-60 tennis team, was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2009. He is currently the president of Blue Entertainment Sports & Television. His contributions to tennis are far reaching. He co-founded the Association of Tennis Professionals and served as the first general counsel for eight years. He started the sports marketing firm ProServ and was the founder of the Legg Mason Tennis Classic in Washington DC. As a player, Dell was a two-time Davis Cup team member and later served as the Davis Cup captain in 1968-69. In addition, he has served as a tennis analyst on television, and his work with the Washington Tennis & Education Foundation has helped generate $15 million for inner-city children. Dell has served as vice chairman and member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame board of directors.
Getman, who has been the keeper of the Yale mascot Handsome Dan for nearly 25 years, is president of the New Haven based Soundview Capital Management Corporation, an investment management firm. He played baseball at Yale and later served as an assistant football coach. In 1971, he joined White Weld & Co., which eventually merged with Merrill Lynch. At Merrill Lynch, he served as a first vice president and was elected to the Chairman's Club, which was then the firm's highest recognition club. Getman has been very active the New Haven community. He received an Elm Award from the mayor and president of Yale in 1992 and was awarded a Yale medal in 1999. He recently served as president of the New Haven Symphony Orchestra and the Mory's Association. In addition, he serves as chairman of the Alexis deToqueville division of the United Way of Greater New Haven, and he and his wife were presented with the "Touch a Life Award" in 2002. Getman has been a president of the Yale Baseball Association and the director of the Yale Hockey Association.
Embersits, who captained the 1957 football team to a 54-0 victory over Harvard, passed away in 2009. He was a founding member of the Bush Leadership Awards Committee and served as a chair of the event. In addition, he was a long time board member of the Yale Athletic Association and the Yale Football Association.
"The celebration of the Bush Leadership Awards has become one of the highlights of the Yale-Harvard football weekend," said Director of Athletics Tom Beckett. "Once again we were thrilled to recognize the `lifetime of leadership' displayed by this year's honorees. The Honors Committee selected an extraordinary class yet again."

Maybe you've got 40 acres that just didn't come up well and the stand is average to terrible. Or maybe you've just got a handful of four or five-acre ponds that are about dry enough to plant again, but which were taken out by big rains. Is there still time to put them into corn or not?
It's the witching hour in many people's minds, depending upon where you live. Here's what the Purdue University Corn and Soybean Field Guide says about replanting. Much of the data is based on work similar to that done by Bob Nielsen, the Nebraska native who has been the Extension corn specialist in Indiana for three decades. He's also the mastermind behind the Chat 'n' Chew café on the Web. The particular table chosen for the Field Guide is from a study by Emerson Nafziger at the University of Illinois.
The odds are definitely not in your favor, except for a favorable corn harvest price. However, there are anecdotal stories about planting in mid-June in the central Corn Belt an still harvesting a 'good' crop, with good being 140 to 160 bushels per acre. If you've got chemical down and don't have another option, you might want to run the numbers.
If you planted this past weekend at 28 to 32,000 plants per acre, on average you can still expect 75% of yield potential. If it's a good field and your legitimate goal was 200 bushels per acre, that's still 150 bushels per acre, at even $6 per bushel is still $900 gross income.
However, the numbers begin to fall rapidly. By June 9, it's 67%, or about two-thirds. Now you're at 135 bushels per acre, more or less. That's still $810 gross income potential.
With soybeans, upping the population for later planting helps. With corn, there's no evidence that the same phenomenon happens. That's because corn and soybeans compensate in different ways. In fact, yield declines for anything above 32,000 plants per acre planted this month. Surprisingly, if you plant June 9 and can get 20,000 plants per acre, you can still achieve about 120 bushels per acre playing the averages, or about 120 bushels per acre in our original 200 bushel per acre field. That's still a gross of $720 per acre.
The problem comes on the other end of the cycle. Will the crop mature in time? June 9 is the last date listed in the planting chart. Switching to an earlier hybrid if available may help you beat a frost or harvest at a lower moisture content. But most seedsmen say you may give up 20 bushel per acre in yield potential going with a shorter-season hybrid that didn't have the same yield potential in the first place. For example, if you switch from a hybrid that would have delivered 200 bushels per acre to one that under the best conditions, planted May 1, would have yielded 180 bushels per acre, now you're already down when you start figuring percentages.
The biggest thing going for you is a good selling price. If you can lock that in or if you've already locked one in and need corn to fulfill contracts, it may affect your decision making process.

Nice to have another point of view (no offence jan Kipo).
Unfortunately some Toki Pona speakers use their own slang. The best is to ignore these people.
Ah slang, what a wonderful thing. If I have not already begun using my own, then I am sure I will at some stage
"mi jan Natan." is correct because "Natan" is not a official Toki Pona word. To make it clear what it is we use a noun before. The word "jan" show us "Natan" is a human. In "pu" unofficial word are adjectives and need a noun before. But Sonja use in pu the example "nimi mi li Apu" also. From the grammatical point of view it could be correct (NOUN + li + ADJECTIVE). The adjective belong to the noun here. But this unclear because "Natan" could be a name, a disease, property, ... (sorry .
As I see it, if I was asked: "Who are you? (sina e seme?)", I would think my answer could/should be "mi jan Natan.".
Alternatively, I might answer the question mi e sewi pimeja (attempt at saying "I am the dark lord") which states who/what I am, but not my name (so much), or mi e ilo mije (attempt at saying "I am the tool man").
However, if I was asked: "What is your name?" (nimi sina e seme?), I would think my answer should be "nimi mi li Natan", as I have been directly asked what my name is—so I should directly say what my name is.
Am I alone in thinking this?

Stephen Moore column: Out grounds & floodlit first-class games
- From the section Cricket
There have been many conversations from different corners of the cricketing spectrum about where the future of the game lies.
For me this was highlighted in some of the questions I have received recently, which I have endeavoured to answer.
Over the last two years, due to the development of our ground, we have played nearly all our championship cricket at venues around the county.
The benefit of this is that we have received wonderful support from people who would not usually be able to make it to Emirates Old Trafford.
It is great as a player to experience that, but due to budgets in county cricket being so tight, the cost of moving a match often makes it prohibitive.
You have to bear in mind that considerable investment has to be committed to the club ground in the months and years prior to the match taking place.
Everyone wants to see a closely-contested match lasting four days, and the pitch and the facilities need to be able to provide that experience for first-class players and supporters alike.
Questions not only about where matches are played, but when have also been heavily debated over the last few years.
I have been fortunate enough to have been involved in two day-night first-class matches played in Abu Dhabi in conjunction with the MCC. The experience was great.
Although there are still some issues with how to make the format work so it provides equal conditions for both sides, for me it shows the kind of thinking that is required to keep cricket as one of the major entertainment sports in the future.
Technology has influenced our lives so much over the last few years, and all this is utilised by coaches, physiotherapists and trainers to make the the county cricketer a vastly more professional sportsman than he was a decade ago.
Day-night Test and first-class cricket just might allow matches to fit into the modern working life, and make the game more accessible to a wider market.
Ultimately though, the competition needs to be identifiable to a modern audience, and marketed as such.
Changing the regulations every year only makes this task harder to achieve.
I would argue that unless there is consistency in decision making and regulations, it is very difficult to build lasting support.
This is highlighted in the YB40 competition that has just started this past bank holiday weekend.
It has been decided that this year there will not be a bowling powerplay and fielding restrictions have also changed.
Surely, considering this is the last year the competition is going to be played, as it does not reflect any international format, tinkering with the regulations only serves to confuse players and supporters who have started to get used to the original format?
It is important to stress, however, that any likely evolution in domestic cricket will be driven from the international environment, but I for one would love to see a day in the future where England internationals are seen more regularly in their county strips.
This would not only raise the profile but also the standard of all county competitions.
One option, that has already been suggested, is to implement a franchise-style system into the domestic structure, if only for Twenty20 cricket.
This might bring new finances into the county game, which are not reliant on Team England.
In my opinion, a more independent county game could only have a positive effect on English cricket.
With all this in mind, and as I watch Emirates Old Trafford evolve and become a truly great stadium, I cannot help but think that when it is full for the Ashes, the spectacle, atmosphere, and skills on display will help to inspire a new generation of young cricketers.
Surely that goal has to be the heart beat of all governing bodies, clubs, and players.

"It all points toward pedestrian safety," Chris Cochran, a spokesman for the California Office of Traffic Safety, said in July as state officials awarded Glendale police $254,800 to boost pedestrian safety measures and reduce the number of distracted drivers.
Evidently, that investment has yet to pay any dividends as the recently released California Office of Traffic Safety figures suggest. They rank Glendale as having the third-worst overall record for pedestrian safety among cities with a population of 100,001 to 250,000.
I'm not exactly sure where that money went, but it doesn't look like it made much of an impact on the way we drive. From the statistics, we seem to be aiming at pedestrians rather than avoiding them.
The way I see it, we have two choices: We either start driving more consciously (which I know is asking a lot when you've got a cell phone in one hand and a low-fat vanilla latte in the other), or start procreating like bunnies to increase our population rate. If we can claim 250,001 people living in Glendale, we'd be ranked among larger cities, and our driving tendencies might not look so dismal. We might rank only fourth or fifth worst in the solar system. So let's get busy, people.
While I'm looking at things on the bright side, I've been asked by a few people on the street when I'm going to weigh in again on the scandal involving Advanced Development & Investment Inc. Evidently, my ability to vociferously rant and rave more than the average bear has drawn the attention of those outside my family. The answer is: I'm not going to say anything about ADI — at least not yet.
Yes, there are more than a handful of items that appear suspicious, what with subcontractor contributions and such. But I would like to remain hopeful that the majority of the wrongdoing was on the part of ADI and not with those working at City Hall.
I know what you're shouting: "Gary, you need to put down the martini shaker!"
Nevertheless, I'm going to believe, naive though it may be, that Glendale might walk away from all of this with our civic dignity intact. And if not, then I've got a few columns' worth of fodder in my future. But for now, I'm not going to start advancing any wild conspiracy theories — except when it comes to our Rose Parade float.
Who designed that thing? Who voted on that thing? Who built that thing? Courageous volunteer efforts aside, our float was by far the most lackluster entry in this year's parade. Sorry, but it's true.
It lacked conceptual thinking and was a horrification of epic proportions. Unfortunately, you can't hide a bad idea under 5,000 roses and a variety of seed pods, especially when it's lumbering down the street at 5 mph.
I know we don't have corporate sponsorship behind us, but do we have to put something out there that lacks inspiration? Think about it this way: Big-budget films give you lots of "eye candy," special effects and star power. That's what floats from Honda and China Airlines are like. On the flip side, independent films rely on story and higher concept to compete in movie houses. That's what cities like Glendale need to do.
Heck, the city of Sierra Madre won the Governor's Trophy for the best depiction of life in California. And they have a population of about 11,000! Yet they seem completely capable of conceptualizing and building a float that doesn't have them bringing up the rear of the parade.
I do believe it's time we step up our game. Maybe we can use the new brand image that company in Tennessee has been working on since 1932. You know, the one that, after much research, identified Glendale as being close to Burbank and Pasadena? Huzzah! That branding fiasco has got to get us something someday, so why not a more creative float and a trophy in the 2012 Rose Parade?
Maybe we could tie next year's float into our city's new-found love of the sun? I rather like the City Council's decision to invest in the ambitious La Paz Solar Tower Project. It would be the city's first use of utility-scale solar energy and appears to be a forward-thinking move on the part of the council to bring more clean, renewable sources of energy to our area, which is a positive.
While the cost is substantial, I do believe it's time to consider something other than the short-term price tag and see what we will pay in the long run by relying on energy sources that continue to pollute the environment.
And hopefully, before we write any checks and construction begins out in the Arizona desert, we will perform some due diligence and make sure ADI isn't the contractor on this baby.

As soon as the ink was dried on Freddy Garcia's minor league contract, it effectively signaled the end of the Yankees' offseason. Oh sure, there might be a Justin Maxwell mixed in between now and the start of Spring Training, but for the most part all the major business is finished. Garcia steps in as the front-runner for the fifth starter's job, the bench has been solidified, and the bullpen has been upgraded considerably. Yet despite all of that, it's hard to consider this offseason a success for the Yankees.
It was clear coming into the winter that starting pitching was priority number one, two, and three, and it was certainly no secret that the Yankees wanted Cliff Lee to solve their rotation woes. They made a valiant effort to sign him, but it was a major, major blow when Lee shocked the world by returning to Philadelphia. The alternatives on the free agent market were not appealing, and they were made even worse when Hiroki Kuroda and Jake Westbrook quickly re-signed with the Dodgers and Cardinals, respectively. Unless Brian Cashman & Co. were willing to part with top prospects for a band-aid or roll the dice with Zack Greinke, there was little help on the trade market. Their hands were tied but let's be frank, it's their own fault for being in a position where they were so desperate for Lee in the first place.
Once Lee was off the board, the Yankees finally sprung into action. They signed Russell Martin less than a week later, shoring up the defense behind the plate and giving Jesus Montero that much more time in Triple-A should he need it. There are very few complaints about spending $4M on a starting catcher on the right side of 30 and just two years removed from his last All-Star Game berth, but there are some complaints to be made about spending that much on a lefty specialist. That's the annual salary the Yankees awarded Pedro Feliciano over the next two seasons in the middle of December.
Don't get me wrong, Feliciano's a fine reliever, a workhorse guy that could legitimately appear in 90 games if needed, but he's still nothing more than a lefty specialist. With Damaso Marte – another lefty reliever slated to earn $4M in 2011 – expected to be on the shelf basically all season because of shoulder surgery, the Yankees felt the need to get a guy like Feliciano. The market for relievers went bonkers this year, so unfortunately two years and $8M guaranteed is the going rate for guys like Feliciano these days. If any team can afford it, it's the Yankees.
That wasn't the end of the bullpen spending though. Ownership jumped in after the calendar turned to 2011 and signed Rafael Soriano to serve as Mariano Rivera's primary setup man against Cashman's recommendation. The damage: three years, $35M, and the team's first round pick in a loaded draft class. Although Soriano is an obvious upgrade, the team assumed all the risk by giving the player the option of opting out of the deal after the first or second year, a contract so absurdly stupid that's it's still kind of hard to believe. For a total of $16M or so, Feliciano and Soriano represent maybe a two-win upgrade for the 2011 Yankees, and that's if everything breaks right. More than likely it'll be one win, maybe a win-and-a-half. Every little bit counts, but there are other the ways the team could have improved that much while using fewer resources.
The rest of the moves were marginal upgrades at best. Andruw Jones is a damn fine fourth outfielder, and the various waiver claims (Maxwell and Brian Schlitter), Rule 5 Draft picks (Robert Fish and Daniel Turpen), and minor league signings (Luis Vizcaino, Warner Madrigal, Mark Prior, Andy Sisco, etc.) are fine for building depth. The Yankees still did nothing to upgrade their rotation however, still trying to rebound from Lee's rejection.
Resigned to shopping off the clearance rack, the Yanks signed Bartolo Colon to a minor league deal in the middle of January even though it's been five full years since he threw even 100 innings in a season or posted an xFIP below four-and-a-half. It's a minor league deal though, no risk. A few weeks later they added Freddy Garcia, who at least made it to the mound for 150 innings last year and was above replacement level. That he is now the front-runner for the fifth starter's job is an indictment of the offseason and current rotation.
Of course, the wild card in all of this is Andy Pettitte. He told the Yankees not to wait around for him at the outset of the offseason and he's stuck to his word, having yet to formally announced his retirement or return as far as we know. Cashman says the team has been operating as if Andy won't be coming back but I think we all know they're holding out hope that he will. Either way, he's still a 38-year old that battled elbow, groin, back, and hamstring issues last season. If you're counting on him to save the rotation, something is very wrong.
If I had to grade the offseason right now, I'd probably give it a D. Maybe a C-, but just maybe. The Martin and Jones signings were sound, but the Soriano contract is absurd and I can't get too exciting about Feliciano. He's just a LOOGY. The Yankees haven't addressed their rotation, basically at all, though I'm glad they didn't do anything stupid and reactionary like trade Jesus Montero for Edwin Jackson or Carlos Zambrano, that would have been a disaster. Cashman gets credit for a patience, ownership not so much, but the bottom line is that the team as it stands is weaker than last year's because of the starting staff.

How to plan a New Zealand motorhome holiday
Motorhome and campervan holidays are the best (and one of the most enjoyable) way to see the most of New Zealand in the least amount of time.
Planning a New Zealand motorhome holiday is easy. By doing your research and making bookings before you arrive, you can combine your transport and accommodation in one easy booking. That means your holiday time is spent making the most of the sights and activities.
Before you book, think about the type of holiday you want. How much distance will be travelled and over how many nights? Do you want to stay in holiday parks or are you keen to try 'freedom camping'? How many people will be travelling together? How many seperate beds will be required? Do you need an onboard kitchen, or shower and toilet? If you are travelling with children, will they require booster seats according to New Zealand road regulations?
All these factors will influence what you need from your motorhome or campervan. Families with children appreciate larger motorhomes with plenty of room for everyone's clothes, toys and rainy-day indoor activities. The onboard kitchens in motorhomes allow you to stick to a budget, eat the food you prefer and at the times that suit you. Do some research and plan a menu and shopping list so you can stock up on basics at the start of your journey.
Onboard showers and toilets are also particularly convenient for mature travellers and families with younger children. Modern designs make disposing of waste a tidy and easy job at nominated waste dump stations across New Zealand.
Most motorhome and campervan rental companies offer a wide range of recreational vehicles to suit all types of travellers. Take some time to study the vehicles online – companies such as Apollo Camper and Hippie Camper have the vehicle floorplan and internal photos online so you can be sure you know what you will be travelling in.
Once you've found your ideal motorhome or campervan you can start searching for the best deals. Happy travels!

History of Livermore High School
Mr. F. R. Fassett, who was one of the leading citizens of Livermore and served in the State Legislature in 1890, introduced a bill which allowed any township to establish a union high school. Livermore established its high school which was opened in 1891 with E. H. Walker as teacher and principal in one of the rooms of the Livermore Grammar School. The Class of 1894 was first to graduate from Livermore Union High School.
The contract for the first high school building was agreed upon December 31, 1892. The building consisted of eight rooms and was finished in the summer of 1893 on the site of what is now a Livermore Area Parks and Recreation District Facility.
Immediately after spring vacation in 1930, the high school students moved into a new two-story, red brick building with 14 classrooms and an auditorium, located at the present site. In 1939, the building was made earthquake-proof and refinished with a stucco face. Since then, many new classrooms, buildings, and facilities have been added to the school. During the 1988-89 school year the auditorium was completely renovated, and is now known as the Livermore High School Performing Arts Theater.
