3. How and when do I register for the tax sale?
Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. the day of the sale. Registration forms will be available at the registration desk on the morning of the sale at the Planning Commission Hearing Room, Community Development Resource Center, 3091 County Center Dr., Auburn, CA. The sale begins at 9:00 a.m.
4. What are the payment requirements at the sale?
A $500.00 refundable deposit is required when you register (cash or cashier's check). If a bidder is successful in the purchase of a property, the $500.00 cash deposit will be applied to the purchase price. Unsuccessful bidders will be refunded their deposit at the conclusion of the sale. All sales require full payment, which includes the transfer tax and recording fee. At the tax collector's discretion, purchases over $5,000.00 may be paid for on a credit payment plan, but ten percent of the bid or $5,000.00, whichever is greater, is required to be deposited at the time of the sale. The balance is payable in lawful money of the United States or negotiable paper, as specified by the tax collector, within a period specified by the tax collector, not to exceed 90 days from the date of the auction, as a condition precedent to the transfer of title to the purchaser. If the balance due is not paid within the period specified, THE DEPOSIT IS FORFEITED, along with all rights with respect to the property (§3693.1). PERSONAL CHECKS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. All cashier's checks must be made payable to the Placer County Tax Collector.
5. What is the bidding process?
Public auction. You must be present to bid.
6. What type of document is issued at the sale?
Receipt at time of sale. A tax deed is forwarded to the successful bidder after payment is made in full.
7. Are there any other expenses in addition to the cost of the lien?
Normally, recording fees & transfer tax.
8. What are the foreclosure and eviction processes and will the county handle these processes for a fee?
No, the county does not handle the foreclosure or the eviction process. The property is sold "as is" and buyers assume all ownership responsibilities.
9. What happens to the properties that are not sold at the Tax Land Sale?
The property will be offered at a subsequent sale if not redeemed sooner.
10. Do you allow individuals to purchase Tax Lien Certificates?
The county does not currently sell tax lien certificates.
11. If I am unable to attend the public auction, can I purchase property via mail, phone or fax? Can I send a representative to the sale to bid for me?
You must be present to bid. The County will not accept bids via mail, phone or fax. If you wish to register/vest and bid/purchase on behalf of another party (a public agency, company, corporation, partnership, LLC, trust, or individual), notarized copies of documentation that give you the authority to represent said party are required at time of registration.
12. What if I have questions and cannot find the answers online?
Questions can be directed to our office in a variety of ways:
Telephone: (530) 889-4129
Email at email@example.com
At our front desk at 2976 Richardson Drive, 2nd Floor, in Auburn, CA
Mail inquiries to Placer County Tax Collector, 2976 Richardson Dr., Auburn, CA 95603
13. How may I obtain a copy of the statutes regarding tax sales in your jurisdiction?
The California State statutes are available at your public library or on the internet at http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml
14. Do liens or encumbrances on a tax-defaulted property transfer to the new owner after purchase of the property at a tax sale?
A tax deed to the purchaser conveys title free of most encumbrances existing before the sale (e.g. Deed of Trust, mechanics liens, judgments, as well as all prior delinquent taxes.). Those encumbrances which continue, primarily liens of special assessments and easements, are described in Section No. 3712 of the Revenue & Taxation Code.
15. Is there any reason the tax sale may be postponed?
Yes, the tax-defaulted land sale may be postponed due to public calamity, illness of staff personnel, inclement weather or other events that may occur on the date of the sale. The right of redemption is automatically extended to the close of business on the last business day prior to the new sale date.
16. What about Excess Proceeds? Am I eligible?
Excess Proceeds will be held in trust and Parties of Interest, as defined by Revenue & Taxation Code section 4675, will be notified and may file a claim for excess proceeds up to one year from the recordation of the tax deed to the purchaser. Parties of interest and their order of priority, per Code Section 4675, are:
1) First, lienholders of record prior to the recordation of the tax deed to the purchaser in the order of their priority; and
2) Then, any person with title of record to all or any portion of the property prior to the recordation of the tax deed to the purchaser.
The final excess proceeds amounts will be less due to costs and fees associated with the excess proceeds process. If you are a Party of Interest, you will receive notification from our office after the Tax-Defaulted Land sale. If you do not receive said notification within 90 days from the recordation of the tax deed to the purchaser, and have documentation you are a Party of Interest, please contact our office at (530) 889-4129. Requests for information regarding Excess Proceeds may be obtained by submitting a written request by mail to our office or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

School Safety
We're so busy being relaxed around here that we sometimes we forget that the so-called "real world" exists.
But sometimes that world nudges up against us, such as in our preparation—or lack of it—when it comes to school safety.
It's about time we fix the current safety plan, not that we're alone in this. School districts all over the country got a nasty wake-up call last December, and it is about time.
In the Columbine High School tragedy in 1999, the Littleton, Colo., first responders were criticized for being too slow, even though they were on the scene within minutes of that tragedy.
Since then—it has been nearly 14 years—police and school officials throughout the country have been busy re-drafting school safety plans with the help of the federal Department of Homeland Security, among other agencies.
The massacre at Newtown, Conn., last December seems to have caused many school districts and police departments to evaluate what "normal" security should be.
Superintendent Rich Boccia and Police Chief Dan Watson see eye-to-eye on many of the next steps Mammoth Unified needs to take in order to make sure we're doing everything possible to protect our kids, staff, and faculty.
To agree that an updated plan is put in place is one thing; to actually follow through is another.
For example, our high school has no air conditioning and during the hot afternoons in September and June, nobody thinks twice about propping open a door or two to catch the mountain breezes. The same thing goes with open windows during the hot months.
Mammoth itself is a town where some residents haven't locked their doors in years; locking the schools' doors during classes is something of a mental jolt.
As for the winter months, doors on one side of the high school have been routinely unlocked to help the kids get out of the blizzards and into their classrooms.
This is a good time to get out of Mayberry and into the real world.
Who, exactly, calls 911? Who is responsible for telling staff and faculty where the safest places are in any given room?
Who would take care of a mass urge to flee when things are unsafe. What is unsafe in the first place? Where are secure safety routes in the event of a building evacuation? Who would be at the command post? Where would the command post be?
Another concern is what to do with parents. As Watson himself said at a school board meeting on Jan. 24: "Any time as incident like this occurs, their natural reaction is to respond to the scene.
"Our primary purpose would be to neutralize the situation, dealing with a bunch of very concerned parents," he said. "That's always a problem. We'd have a huge, mass, influx of people coming in. They don't want to be told what to do. They want to go find their child and make sure they're safe.
"There needs to be some discussion about how they're going to be dealt with, who's going to handle that, what's the role for the school district versus law enforcement."
In addition to an updated plan, we need to practice, practice, and then practice some more.
This should have been put in place years ago.
But in Mammoth, where we pretend to be above it all sometimes, it is we ourselves who help create a clear and present danger.

All News Releases By Date
EPA Provides Funding to Protect Wetlands in New Jersey; Nearly 640,000 Awarded for Wetlands Assessments
Release Date: 02/11/2013
Contact Information: John Martin, (212) 637-3662, firstname.lastname@example.com
- (New York, N.Y.) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded nearly $640,000 to the New Jersey Pinelands Commission and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to better protect wetlands throughout the state.
"Wetlands provide enormous environmental benefits, such as serving as essential habitats for fish and wildlife and reducing many of the effects of climate change," said EPA Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck. "Wetlands reduce and filter runoff that pollutes local waterways, and control flooding by absorbing rain and waters from melting snow. This EPA funding will enhance the ability to assess and protect New Jersey's wetlands."
The Pinelands Commission will use a $361,317 EPA grant to identify wetlands throughout the New Jersey Pinelands and determine the age, size, structure, and surrounding forest, soil, and land-use for each. Under the grant, the commission will monitor water quality and quantity in the wetlands. The commission will also sample vegetation, frogs and fish in 100 wetlands at which the surrounding land is being used for a variety of purposes such as residential developments, farms or parks. In addition, the commission will analyze samples of tadpoles and their food sources for pathogens and pesticides. The New Jersey Pinelands Commission will contribute $120,439 towards the total cost of this project.
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection will use a $278,551 grant to develop a program for the Agency's New Jersey Environmental Management System database that will incorporate and process data on wetland mitigation. This will improve NJDEP's ability to track and monitor wetlands mitigation practices across the state. NJDEP will contribute $92,850 towards the total cost of this project.
Since 1990, EPA's Wetland Program Development Grants have provided financial assistance to help build or refine state and local government wetland programs. These funds provide opportunities for states to conduct research and help build the science behind comprehensive wetlands programs at the state level. Recipients of these grants are required to contribute a minimum of 25 percent of the cost of the project.

Ten bands rocked the courthouse steps for the third-ever Houmapalooza music festival, which was held in downtown Houma Saturday.
Ten bands rocked the courthouse steps for the third-ever Houmapalooza music festival, which was held in downtown Houma Saturday.
Music styles from zydeco to funk to punk played for an audience that lounged on park benches and blankets, enjoying temperatures in the low 80s.
"I just come to support Houma, to support local musicians and to support the Arts Council," said Jamie Verdin, who brought along his 4-year-old son, Blaze. "It's a great event to bring family to. It's a beautiful day, and it's in front of the courthouse, so it feels pretty safe. There should be more events like this in Houma."
The semi-annual music festival was started last year by the Houma Regional Arts Council. Glenda Toups, the council's executive director, called the festival "a fast-growing beast."
She said her staff of three came up with the idea in January 2011, and put on the inaugural event that April.
"We developed it to be a little different from other festivals that hire bands," she said. "We sat down and asked what is being offered and saw that there is nothing devoted to independent local acts and unsigned bands. The question is, 'Would people show up?' And the answer has been, 'Yes.' "
Toups said 154 musicians have played the event. This year, 22 bands from Houma-Thibodaux, Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Lake Charles vied for one of the 10 spots available. They were judged by a local "listening panel," and required to provide at least an hour of original material.
"There are a lot of different venues that already showcase cover bands," Toups said. "It's hard sometimes for an original band to find a venue, because they're not going to play 'Brown Eyed Girl,' or something everyone will know."
At 2:30 p.m., Syllable Seven was preparing to go on stage. The five-piece band from Baton Rouge plays funk, reggae, punk and hip-hop, "a gumbo that includes everything musically except country and pop," according to Bobby Fields, the lead singer. Many of the band's members have played at Houma venues before, and they said they weren't surprised by the quality of the music scene here.
Fields said a friend of his had praised gigs he'd played at the City Club, just down the block and across the street.
"I just hadn't been here yet, but I knew music was part of the culture in Houma," he said.

I would add to what Don said a point I'm sure has been made before on this list: the most effective speaker for the side that critiques and exposes the weakness in the YEC arguments will be someone who throughout his/her presentation makes an explicit Christian witness. The audience has to see that there are two Christian perspectives on the meaning of creation that are an essential part of the conversation, even when the focus is on science. This person needs to make his/her Christian witness in a calm, reasoned, respectful manner that reveals the love of God in Christ in the person, a devotion to Holy Scripture as a different interpretation and understanding of Scripture is presented to the audience, and a demeanor that reveals the fruits of the Spirit.

A problem with this approach is that you're unlikely to effectively refute "informed" YECs in a public discussion. YECs will bring out their technical arguments, scientists will present technical reasons as to why those arguments are invalid, but the public will just see two sets of experts that disagree on technical details. Unless a member of the audience is unusually well informed and can follow the arguments, he will have little reason to change his mind. Furthermore, it's often the YEC who's the more practiced and effective debater, as debating skills are usually of secondary importance for scientists.
There's no substitute for careful consideration and evaluation of the scientific evidence of the sort one should engage in when taking a geology course. Limited public discussion cannot cover enough territory to settle anything.

Thanks for the added conversation on my proposal. We are probably not
really very far apart on this.
>>The "campaign against Velikovsky" (~50 years ago) had a different
1st, V's claims were novel, unlike those of YECs, which have been weighed
in the balance
& found wanting numerous times. 2nd, some of V's critics apparently
never read _Worlds
in Collision_ with any care before reading it. (~ 30 years ago I wrote a
paper for
Pensee, a journal publicizing V's ideas, in which I examined his physics
claims & found
them wrong but not quite as absurd as some critics had suggested.
Unfortunately the
journal went broke after accepting the paper but before it could be

critques of
his work had been done more carefully - & from an interdisciplinary
standpoint. (...The interesting thing was that the historians &

that physicists had found
support for his claims, while as a physicist I knew that his physics was
wrong but
had thought that maybe some of his historical claims had some
I remember having exactly the same reaction, George. Thanks for pointing
out the differences (above), with which I do agree.
>>But I suppose your point is that the use of economic leverage by the
community to keep V's stuff from being published was wrong & conferred
"martyrdom" on
him. I don't agree that there's anything wrong in principle with using
such economic
leverage. (Cf. strikes, the Birmingham bus boycott, &c.)>>
I do not claim that it is "wrong" in the sense of being an immoral
action, but I do claim that it was, in V's case, wrong pragmatically; it
gave his ideas more credibility than they deserved. Not among the
scientists, perhaps, but among other people who could all too easily see
the "heavy hand of orthodoxy" trying to squash him and so reacted in a
direction the "squashers" did not anticipate.
As one who participated in the 60s Civil Rights movement, I think I see
your point but don't really see its applicability. The 60s issue was one
of deep immorality promoted by governments; this one does not have that
>> 1st, YEC is "marginalized" only relative to the scientific community.
As you have pointed out ("They are winning"), in the larger society, &
especially conservative Christian churches, it is mainstream. >>
True enough. Good point.
>>2d, YEC hasn't always been marginal for scientists: It became so
gradually as scientific evidence for an old earth &
evolution accumulated. De-marginalizing it scientifically would mean
going back to ~1800.>>
I don't think I called for this. I don't see, really, how it could be
done. What I do call for is for mainstream science to pay more attention
to the YEC arguments, by "welcoming" them into the discussion (in
moderation, of course), and publicly refuting them in discussion. The
current strategy is to ignore them, and it is that strategy which is
leading to their gaining adherents outside the scientific community.
>>3d, "marginalizing" YEC may give them a _plausible_ reason to declare
as martyrs but that is not the same as a _legitimate_ reason. >>
Of course. But when you can claim a "plausible reason," as they do, and
have that reason accepted by many, as obviously happens, it does no good
at all to stand outside and say the reason is not "legitimate."
>> & 4th, the "who is to say" argument assumes a relativity of truth that
neither scientific societies nor the
govt is bound to accept, nor should they. Keith's post makes this point
very well.>>
I'm not sure of your point here. I replied to Keith separately.
>>The 1st Ammendment says that the govt can't make an establishment of
but it says nothing about govt agencies recognizing some scientific
theories as better
than others. Again I refer to Keith's excellent post. If the govt can't
make any scientific distinctions then the CDC has to accept the theory
that diseases are caused by invisible demons on the same level as the
theory that they're caused by viruses or bacteria. >>
You are arguing against a view I don't hold and have not argued.
>> scientific organizations should be able to express their displeasure
what's on sale & use their influence to keep bad science from
masquerading as good.>>
Maybe. You reify "scientific organizations," which bothers me. A PERSON
is always able to do this, of course. I'm not altogether convinced about
any organization ought to do so (of course, they are not so prevented,
nor should they be). But I may not have though this part through.
> 2. Have you read FRACTURE?
I presume you read my review. Maybe I did not praise it sufficiently.
>>Of course evidence for an old earth & universe & for evolution should
presented, & areas (such as the origin of life) that "orthodox" science
hasn't dealt
with adequately should be acknowledged. This could certainly include
putatively scientific YEC claims & showing the massive problems with
them. & of course
students shouldn't be _forced_ to accept one view or another, though they
can be
required to understand the theories & evidence on tests. But this
material should
certainly _not_ be presented in a "some say this, some say that, you can
make up your
minds" manner.>.
We are in massive agreement here. Except I assert that the word "could"
in your second sentence above ought to be replaced with the word
"should." That is the core of my argument.
>>Furthermore, if YEC views are "presented as what they are," teachers
will be
free to critique them, & it will be very hard to keep them from sliding
over into
ridicule of the biblical creation accounts if they want to. & I think
all Christians
should be concerned about that.>>
Yes, that is an exposure. I think it is an acceptable one.
I had earlier said: " c. The education arms are (usually) competent to
give them the exposure
> they deserve. d. Their exclusion today is one case of the
marginalization I speak of."
>>I'm not sure if you mean "case" or "cause" here.>>
Sorry. Cause.
>> Either way, I repeat what I said above: YEC got marginalized
scientifically by an accumulation of scientific
evidence & the development of scientific theory. >>
Yep. But that is hardly a responsive comment to what I said.
I had written:" e. By ignoring the YEC view, credibility is given it that
it does not deserve."
>>No. This may provide grounds for claiming "martyrdom," as noted above,
but there is no way it can be said to give "credibility." Is phlogiston
theory made credible today by the fact that no one (outside history
classes) teaches it?>>
You set up a straw man here, my friend. If there was no YEC "cause,"
there would be no problem. There is no "phlogiston cause," therefore
there is no problem. But to be complete, I could have written: "e.
Because the YEC position is widely taught, by ignoring the YEC view,
credibility is given it that it does not deserve."
Sometimes you have to remember previous parts of the argument. <G>
I had also written: " f. By ignoring the YEC view, the case against it
is never taught."
>>The case for an old earth & evolution should be taught. If you want
teachers to
add "therefore the earth isn't young & life didn't appear suddenly," it's
OK with me.>>
No. Simply saying that does no good. The YEC arguments should also be
discussed -- and refuted.
>>In reality evolution has been, & to some extent still is, either
ignored or
(more likely) downplayed in many public schools. There are plenty of
teachers who have
no problem with evolution itself but are nervous about teaching it
because of the flak
they'll get from YEC parents &c. This returns to the point about
While YEC is marginal - & properly so - in the scientific community, it
is not marginal
in the communities in which many public school teachers live & work.>>
Yeah. That IS a real problem. It is my assertion, however, that
pretending it does not exist is making the problem worse, not better.
>>Finally, on the general question of the best way to counter YEC claims.
I agree
that giving a movement plausible reasons to claim "martyrdom" may give
them publicity &
appear to give their claims more credit than they deserve.>>
>> But I also think that one should not place undue faith in the liberal
idea that if ideas are freely & openly
discussed, the truth will always win out. (Here I don't use "liberal" in
a pejorative Limbaughish fashion but simply as a designation of a classic
position.) While such exchanges of ideas are very valuable, there is no
guarantee that truth will emerge from them. >>
Here it is (finally) where you and I have a potentially serious
disagreement. If the essentials of Mills' ON LIBERTY are not valid for
our society, then you are right, and perhaps we can muddle along anyway.
I happen to think (strongly) that they ARE valid, and that to the extent
we modify them for one or another issue, we are the poorer for it.
>>This is especially the case when a relatively uninformed public tries
to debate a technical subject, & even more so when the material for one
side of the debate is supplied by people with a clear ideological agenda.
That applies to laissez faire capitalists who want to deny global
warming as well as to YECs.>>
Could not agree more. It is the thesis of FRACTURE that "full disclosure"
is the only possible answer to this. It is ONLY those issues which are
"supplied by people with a clear ideological agenda" that are of interest
here. The author of FRACTURE analyzes three of these groups, the
Sojourners, The Religious Right and the Berrigan Brothers. The
application of his arguments could just as well been applied to the YEC
>>A democratic society depends to some extent on the belief that the
electorate can make intelligent decisions about issues if they are
discussed openly. But in a scientific & technological world that will
work only if the electorate has some basic scientific understanding of
the world. & that means that education in good science, and its
distinction from bad science, is essential for the long term viability of
such a society. (It is, needless to say, a necessary but not a
sufficient condition.) >>
We end on a note of agreement. What I see as key in the above is your
phrase "and its distinction from bad science." That distinction is NOT
being made today, and I am reminded of a popular bumper sticker I saw
many times last year in Denver:
"What am I doing in this handbasket?"

How to apply for GPPAC membership
Civil society organisations working in conflict prevention and peacebuilding are eligible to join GPPAC. If your organisation would like to become a member, please register on the Peace Portal, and then create an organisational profile from your dashboard. Any peacebuilding organisation can have a profile on the Peace Portal, but to apply for GPPAC membership, make sure you tick the box requesting GPPAC membership at the end of the online form. The Regional Steering Group for your region will consider your membership request, so it may take a while before it is processed.
What does GPPAC membership mean?
Member organisations will receive regular information from their Regional Secretariat and from the Global Secretariat on GPPAC activities, including activities in which they can be involved. Member organisations are entitled to participate in GPPAC member-only communities on the Peace Portal focused on specific thematic issues, and the community for their own region. A GPPAC logo will be added to their organizational profile on the Peace Portal. If your organisation becomes a GPPAC member, it commits to supporting the Global Action Agenda and acting in accordance with the GPPAC Charter. You also agree to receiving GPPAC newsletters and updates. If a member organisation is found to act in violation of the spirit of the GPPAC Global Action Agenda or the GPPAC Charter, or when a member organisation has been convicted of a crime, the relevant RSG or the ISG may cancel GPPAC membership.

She wanted to create something both dogs and people could enjoy, by combining her knowledge of precious gems with her love of dog collaring. Having spent her graduate school years at the University of Chicago studying ethnic jewelry, founding bon Christiani was the perfect way for Christiano to express herself through gemstones and design.
When we came across the bon Christiani collars online, we were instantly smitten. We had to have them for the boutique! The authenticity of the gems used (mostly Celtic period gems), the symbology and significance of the designs, and the quality of the construction, using materials such as handcast bronze and locally sourced garnet, are an amazing combination of passion and attention to detail not commonly found in something as deceptively simple as a dog collar.
You and your dog can enjoy an artisanal collar made from the same materials, by the same processes, that have not changed since the time of Beowulf and his insular ancestors. Celtic roses, triangular knots, Viking-like shields and even frolicking horses grace the leather of these collars, and even the elegant bronze D-ring has a story. It was modeled after a belt buckle found on a Celtic bog man!
Have a look at the full line of bon Christiani collars at Dog Collar Boutique, now the exclusive retailer for these exquisite designs.

The past couple of years have been very tough ones for the US auto industry, culminating in the somewhat embarrassing request for life-saving bailouts for GM and Chrysler in late 2008 and the bankruptcies that followed.
Tough times are not new to U.S. automakers, who've seen their reputation and market share decline sharply in the past four decades. Amid the doom and gloom, however, has been a boom or two.
Take a look at some of the milestones in the auto industry since the 1970s.

Anyone knows why?
The real reason as to why Hitler was committing that genocide?
Anyone knows why?
The real reason as to why Hitler was committing that genocide?
Hitler was no different than other leaders of Europe during the Medieval times but he had modern industry to carry out what the German Crusade of 1096 could not.
Who would claim to be that, who was not.
Germany lost the first world war, and paid heavily for it in the Versailles treaty. The Germans needed someone(s) to blame, and Hitler capitalized on this fact. A distorted understanding of Darwinisim may have also played a role in justifying the Nazi racism leading the Nazis to categorize people by race or ethnicity. The Jews were somewhere close to the bottom in ranking and it makes it so much easier to kill someone when you think they're subhuman. Also, it is easy to blame the Jews when you are a Christian and Judas (get it) is the one who killed your messiah (antisemitism in Europe is not the trigger you were looking for, but could answer the reason why so many people went along with it).
I really can't think of a valid reason that could justify genocide, and I don't think that what I said above completely explains why someone would kill millions of Jews and not go after their Semitic Muslim cousins with the same zeal for example!
Edit: Maybe he mentioned something in Mein Kampf about it
Like I said Hitler did the same thing in a massive scale as the German / Rhineland Massacre Crusade of 1097.
Who would claim to be that, who was not.
We'll probably never know what fueled his vehement hatred of the Jewish people, what I do know though is this: The Holocaust, by which I mean the mass murder of the Jewish people, certainly would have happened even without Hitler. Antisemitism has always been an important component of German culture, this is too often ignored, while I could name a dozen countries which were even more anti-Jewish than Germany, the ambiant anti-Jewish environment in Germany was nothing new. Just read what Kaiser Wilhelm II had to say about the Jews or read about the Judenzählung. Add the successful anti-Jewish propaganda campaign orchestrated by the Okhrana (the Russian Czar's secret police) throughout the late 19th and early 20th century (which led to the creation of the Protocols, a monument of modern antisemitism and one of the very first books to be published in Arabic) and you have the perfect conditions to tap into this potential. Make no mistake, the Germans massively voted for the NSDAP during the 1933 elections, they adhered to Nazism and were convinced antisemites.
As for the Arabs, while Hitler did write a couple of negative lines about them in Mein Kampf (which were surgically removed from the translations in Arabic), ultimately this did not hamper cooperation between the Germans and the Arabs, antisemitism always was about hating the Jews only, not the Arabs. Hitler, Himmler and countless other Nazi leaders and ideologues were raging islamophiles, Hitler himself said that he considered "only the muslims to be reliable" and that he did not trust the Armenians, which explains all the Arab and Muslim units the Germans created (including 3 Muslim divisions in the SS). Decolonisation in Arab-Muslim countries ultimately was the fruit of the German war effort, both during WW1 and WW2. This is also why many German war criminals sought refuge in Arab countries, most notably Syria and Egypt.

Historically I think you'll find the beginnings of the mass killings of Jews in Europe began with the German Crusade of 1097, you'll discover the leaders were not all German, I am well acquainted in the subject.

Department of Revenue News Release
December 03, 2009Mount Vernon, Perryville, Platte City, St. Louis, Ste. Genevieve, Troy & Unionville License Offices Awarded
JEFFERSON CITY - A reformed and competitive bidding process championed by Gov. Jay Nixon has been used to award the management contracts for seven more local motor vehicle and license offices.
"Making the license office agent selection process more open and efficient has been a top priority of my administration," Gov. Nixon said. "Unlike the old patronage system, offices are awarded to people and groups who demonstrate that they can run the offices effectively. The non-political, professional staff at the Department of Revenue reviews the submissions and selects the ones that result in the best service for the people of Missouri."
The seven offices awarded today are in Mount Vernon, Perryville, Platte City, St. Louis, Ste. Genevieve, Troy and Unionville. All of the offices will remain at their current locations, except Mount Vernon.
Bidders have the option of returning a portion of the office's revenues to the state. Four of this week's winning bidders will return some of their revenues. The estimated amount of money that will be returned to the state in the first contract year from the 154 offices that have been awarded so far under the new bidding process is $790,614.
The Mount Vernon License Office has been awarded to the incumbent agent, the Mount Vernon Area Community Foundation, Inc. The winning bid was one of three submitted. The not-for-profit foundation has been the agent since 2005. The office, which is currently located at 592 S. Spring Park Blvd., will move to a new location at 1 E. Courthouse Square. A 1 percent ($807) return to the state was included in the bid.
Conservative Ventures, Inc. of Perryville has been selected to be the agent for the Perryville License Office, which is located at 624-B N. Old St. Mary's Rd. The corporation is associated with Patrick and Karen Naeger of Perryville. Karen Naeger has been the agent since 2006. The winning bid was one of three submitted, and a 2 percent ($2,311) return to the state was included in the bid.
The Platte City License Office has a new agent, the Platte Civic Association. The association was incorporated by the Kansas City International Rotary Club. Profits are intended to be used for civic programs and educational scholarships. The winning bid was one of four submitted, and a 2 percent ($4,922) return to the state was included in the proposal. The office is at 500 Third St.
The Automobile Club of Missouri, which has operated the Westside License Office in St. Louis since 1981, will continue to be the agent. The Westside office is also known as the AAA License Office. The winning bid for the office was one of two submitted. The office is located at 3917 Lindell Blvd., and a 5 percent ($6,203) return to the state was included in the bid.
The Ste. Genevieve License Office, located at 207 Plaza Dr., will continue to be operated by Joseph J. Rozier III of Ste. Genevieve, who has been the agent since 2005. Rozier submitted the only bid, and no return to the state was included in the bid.
The Troy Chamber of Commerce remains the agent for the Troy License Office. The chamber has been office's agent since 1993, and its winning bid was one of three submitted. No return to the state was included in the proposal. The office is located at 103-B N. Lincoln Dr.
The Unionville License Office will continue to be operated by Jan Mashelle Trimble of Unionville, who has been the agent since 1992. Trimble submitted the only bid, and no return to the state was included. The office is at 1507 Main St.
Details about any changes in office operations, if any, will be announced by the agents.
Although Gov. Nixon authorized the Missouri Department of Revenue to implement the new bidding system in January, it didn't become part of state law until legislation was signed by the Governor this past summer. The new law was overwhelmingly approved by both Republican and Democratic members of the Missouri Legislature.
Of the 154 offices awarded so far, 89 have gone to incumbents or groups associated with incumbent agents. Sixty-five of the offices have been awarded to new agents. Of the 183 total offices, bidding has closed on 182, and one (Greenfield) remains open. For a list of winning bidders for license offices, please go to http://oa.mo.gov/purch/awardedfeeoffices.pdf.
Alana M. Barragán-Scott, director of the Missouri Department of Revenue, noted some of the criteria that the department evaluates during the selection process.
"The experience of the agent and the proposed staff - whether that's in running a license office or some other type of business - is important because it indicates how well customers will be treated," she said. "Office hours and plans for how to handle customer service during busy times are also evaluated, as are the locations, security and accessibility of the proposed offices."
All local license offices provide services that are overseen by the Department of Revenue, but each office is operated by an independent contractor. Transactions that are conducted at these offices include the issuance and renewal of driver licenses, issuance of titles for motor vehicles, and the issuance and renewal of registration for motor vehicles, boats and outboard motors.

The research interests include astroglial cell biology and heavy metal neurotoxicity. The studies have identified that Pb deposit in astrocytes competitively with copper (Cu) binds to heavy metal binding (HMB) domain of ATP7A, a Cu-transporting ATPase that contributes to Cu release, leading to Cu accumulation intracellularly and the promotion of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production that both have been involved in neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The studies have also identified a 78 kD glucose-regulated protein (GRP78), also named as HSPA5 or BiP, as one of Pb targets. GRP78 is an endoplasmic reticulum-resident molecular chaperone functioning in protein folding, assembly and trafficking in posttranslational quality control and also plays a role in protection against cytotoxicity and apoptosis induced by environmental insults. Emerging evidence indicates that the protein is involved in cancers including breast cancers, lung cancers, and others and neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease. The studies demonstrate that Pb directly binds to GRP78 and the binding plays a "double-edged sword" role because it protects the cells from the toxicity of free Pb ions but also reduces protein secretion (e.g. IL-6) and Cu release from astrocytes. Current interests are focused on functions of GRP78 in Cu homeostasis and glucose utilization of the central nervous system that both are involved in neurodegenerative disorders and cancers.

The world famous village that is home to the Blarney Stone has been forced to move its St Patrick's Day parade – by the local squire!
Blarney Castle owner Sir Charles Colthurst has caused outrage after refusing permission for the annual festival to take place in the village square.
Colthurst, who owns the square through aristocratic inheritance according to the Irish Independent, has shocked locals with his decision.
He hit the headlines last year for growing pot in a hidden garden at the castle.
The landlord, whose castle and Blarney Stone attracts over 300,000 visitors a year, has claimed he fears he will sued for injury and hasn't got sufficient insurance cover.
As a result of his decision, the festival organisers have moved the venue to the local GAA club and altered the route of its St Patrick's Day parade.
Parade organiser Kevin Conway told the newspaper that he feels the issues raised are 'trivial' and said the stance taken by Colthurst has caused major headaches for the parade organisers just 72 hours before the gala event.
"We have a record entry for the Blarney parade this year, it is all about providing entertainment for people and persuading tourists to come to Blarney and spend their money here," said Conway.
"We have now had to ensure that every stall and attraction is moved from the square out to Blarney
GAA grounds. But we are very grateful to the GAA for allowing us to use their facilities - otherwise we don't know what we'd do."
Colthurst did not respond to queries from the Irish Independent but a five-page letter sent on his behalf to Blarney Community Council raised specific concerns about insurance and cited the risks associated with some stalls.
The paper reports that the letter bluntly warned that he believed the public liability insurance cover in place was not sufficient and left him open to possible claims.
Festival spokesman Tom O'Dwyer told the paper that they were shocked by the late notice given.
"We found out about this at 6.05pm on Tuesday. This isn't the first festival we have had on the square, this would have been the fifth," he said.
"We have had two previous St Patrick's Day festivals and two September 'Fun Days'. So we don't understand why there was suddenly a problem with insurance this year."
Colthurst previously hit the headlines in 2010 when he called for the minimum wage to be cut and argued that Ireland had become too uncompetitive compared to other European countries.

Maximum Risk (UK - BD RB)
Scott McKenzie checks out this 1996 Jean-Claude Van Damme movie...
Maximum Risk opens in the south of France, with Mikhail Suverov (Jean-Claude Van Damme) being chased through the streets towards an untimely death. It turns out this version of Van Damme has a twin brother called Alain Moreau, who lives in the same town but never knew his sibling existed. As Alain digs deeper into his brother's life, he travels to New York and finds himself entangled in a world of shady FBI agents and the Russian mafia. Mikhail kept a secret from everyone for a long time, but with the clock ticking, can Alain get to the bottom of it before the bad guys catch up to him?
I hadn't seen Maximum Risk before and I certainly wasn't expecting much from it, especially when I saw that Van Damme played himself and his brother again, as he did in Double Impact. However, this movie focuses more on the mystery potential of the plot and I found myself drawn into the story a lot more than I expected from a movie with the muscles from Brussels. There's a revelation about half way through to keep the audience's attention so while this isn't exactly a multi-layered double-cross-athon, there's a bit more going on than their is in your usual generic actioner.
This is also apparent from the relative lack of action. Of course, there are enough fist fights and gun fights to keep Van Damme fans happy but Maximum Risk doesn't follow the template that requires him to have a punch up every five minutes. This might be due to the fact that Van Damme requested the services of Hong Kong action director Ringo Lam, who had more to offer than the journeyman directors Van Damme had worked with before (including himself). Watch closely and you'll notice a few directorial flourishes, like Van Damme looking into a broken mirror while thinking about his brother. It might be a bit heavy-handed but adds a little something extra.
With all that, Maximum Risk is by no means a perfect movie. Acting is a problem throughout the movie, with Zach Grenier as the main bad guy a particular offender with his comedy goatee beard not helping his cause. Natasha Henstridge's performance isn't very memorable and the screenplay doesn't do anything to make us believe she's mourning the passing of the love of her life. There are several leaps of logic in the plot as well, with a device involving a cigarette and a sprinkler not making much sense at all. While you're watching the movie, ask yourself why Van Damme is given a cigarette.
What this adds up to is a generic action movie that offers a little more at times. It might not quite be up there with Hard Target and Universal Soldier among Van Damme's best but it's worth a watch for action fans. When Maximum Risk was first released in the UK, the BBFC enforced cut of nine seconds in order to achieve an 18 certificate. Checking the BBFC website, it looks like this movie hasn't been resubmitted since then, so either this is the cut version of the movie or it's an uncut transfer that's been sneaked onto Blu-ray without telling anyone.
Here we go with another catalogue title from the 1990s, with the studio digging out the print and blowing the dust off. As expected, the Columbia lady on the opening titles is a little wobbly and grainy but from that point forward it's not too bad considering this isn't exactly a flagship release. The colours are very strong, but so much so that it could have done with some toning down. In some scenes Natasha Henstridge's blue eyes and red lips almost look like they've been made up with fluorescent paint. There is good detail in most of the picture – this is a transfer that makes the most of Van Damme's designer stubble – but in the wide landscape shots where HD transfers usually excel, there is a noticeable layer of dirt and some damage to the print.
I tuned into the Dolby TrueHD 5.1 English audio track (of which there are a few in different languages) for this review. The quality of the content isn't too bad but doesn't exactly blow the viewer away. The music is strong without ever drowning out the rest of the audio and there are some good surround moments with gunshot effects. There is no interference over the dialogue but there is a serious problem the quality of high definition brought to my attention that may have gone unnoticed on VHS or DVD. The dubbing on some of the characters is quite frankly appalling and at some points the words coming out of their mouths bear no resemblance to the shapes their lips are making. Obviously this would require getting the actors back in to redub their lines but I thought it was a bit more than a minor issue and took me out of the movie at times.
All we get is a trailer for the movie, more trailers for Men In Black, Close Encounters and 21 and a promo for Blu-ray in general.
Maximum Risk is by no means the best action movie I've ever seen but for a Van Damme B-movie it's probably worth a look. Looking around online retailers, I've seen that you can pick this title up a bit cheaper than most brand new Blu-ray releases. The quality of the transfer and the lack of extras reflect this but fans of the movie might want to shop around for this disc because I can't imagine Maximum Risk is going to be the subject of a double-dip any time soon.

This film was a bit too long and I didn't really like the ending
It is not really a good showcase of the director Ringo Lam's work. His 2nd Van Damme film "Replicant" was much better and fans of Prison Break Season 1 would love his Hong Kong films "Prison on Fire 1 & 2".
The pace of Maximum Risk is extremely slow - apart from the last 10 minutes.

This is a very underrated Van Damme movie ... c'mmon, only 4.8/10 on imdb!!! Deserves at least 6.5 or even 7/10!
Good review. I agree, it has a cinematic flair & a more universal appeal as opposed to some other of his outings, but all-in-all I actually found it really entertaining. It's from a period where action movies were action movies starring action heroes, not Cage, Wahlberg, Damon etc etc...
Very keen on buying this... but then realised I sold my PS3 a week ago.

By now it should be known to some that I love action tat (my knowledge of obscure eighties and nineties action knows no bounds), and I do have to say that I think Maximum Risk is top drawer entertainment. Well worth a look if your into the more thriller side of actioners. Top car sequences by Remy Julienne too. By the way, love the screencaps too
That first screen grab is awesome!

Veteran Chicago Police officer Preston Ross Jr. suffered a fatal heart attack Saturday while on duty at a CTA stop, the Cook County Medical Examiner said today.
Ross, 48, was in uniform and working on the CTA detail at the Grand Avenue Blue Line stop around 9 a.m. when he suffered the heart attack. Police News affairs said. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he died, police said.
Ross had been on the force for 25 years and received 17 awards from the department during his career, police said.
"On behalf of the entire Department, I offer my sincere condolences to Officer Ross' family, friends and colleagues," Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said in the statement. "We will keep them in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time."
The officer was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in "grave condition" and was declared dead there, Police News Affairs Officer Robert Perez said.
Police conducted an honor motorcade between Northwestern Memorial and the Cook County medical examiner's office this afternoon, police said.
Ross' aunt, Jackie Ross of Riverdale, said her nephew seemed happy when she spoke to him last month and she did not know of him suffering any health issues.
Ross described Preston Ross Jr. as a kind, outgoing and generous person who loved to barbecue.
"I've never seen him do anything in anger," said Ross, who has been married to Preston Ross' uncle for 34 years. "I've never seen him angry, period. I've never seen him frown on anybody."
Ross added that whenever a family member or friend had a problem, Ross Jr. could be counted on to help out.
"He was a very sweet person," Ross said. "I was proud to say he was my nephew."

A landmark of Hopkinsville, KY
The elevators of Hopkinsville Milling are a familiar sight to anyone who's ever been around Hopkinsville. They sit at the head of Fort Campbell Boulevard, on one side of the strange 5-sided intersection where "The Boulevard" (as folks say) meets Walnut Street and East 21st Street.
According to an article by Kim Schippers that was published in the July 21, 2004, Kentucky New Era, a mill has been in operation in this location since 1907. At that time, it would have been at the outskirts of town along the road to Clarksville, overlooking some of Kentucky's finest farmland.
When we first moved to this area, I was interested in buying flour in bulk and I didn't know where to find it. One day I stopped by the mill and asked a surprised employee there if I could buy a 50-pound bag of flour. He wasn't sure if I could or not, so he summoned the manager. The manager said it had been 15 years or more since they had sold any flour "out the mill door". (I remember that he used that phrase.) Now it has been 30 years or more, I guess.
I suppose I should be ashamed of myself for not buying Sunflour flour and cornmeal more often. They have many loyal customers here but I still tend to use Gold Medal flour and Quaker cornmeal as I have for most of the years I've been cooking. I was amazed to hear a lady in a store one day asking, "Is that Gold Medal flour any good?" She was probably one of the many dedicated users of Sunflour products.
Those who live abroad in the service of the United States don't have to do without Sunflour products. The Embassy Grocer offers "Hopkinsville Sunflour Self-Rising Flour 5-lb." for just $1.42 (plus shipping.)

SACRAMENTO - At its 22nd Annual Workers Memorial today at the State Capitol, Caltrans honored its 178 employees who lost their lives on the job, including three San Diego-area workers who were killed in separate incidents last year.
The three Caltrans employees were killed within a 48-day period in 2011. On May 4, Stephen Palmer Sr. was struck by a trolley in National City near San Diego. On June 7, Jaime Obeso was hit by an errant vehicle while working on Interstate 8 in Imperial County. Richard Gonzalez, a Caltrans maintenance worker, died June 20 after being struck by a vehicle while he was working on a litter crew along State Route 15 in San Diego.
The tragedies sparked a statewide campaign beginning in July 2011 to raise public awareness of the "Move Over" law, which was amended in 2009 to add Caltrans vehicles displaying flashing amber warning lights to the list of vehicles for which motorists must move over if safe to do so, or slow down.
"Public awareness is a key factor in keeping roadways safe for workers," said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty. "The workers memorial is a reminder that safety is a year-round priority, and that Californians can help keep our highways safe by slowing down in work zones and complying with the Move Over law."
Highway construction and maintenance work is one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States. However, California has made significant strides in highway work zone safety since 1999 when Caltrans launched its Slow for the Cone Zone safety campaign. The most recent fatality data shows that since the inception of Slow for the Cone Zone, California's highway work zone fatality rate declined 63 percent compared to a drop of just 34 percent nationally.
Caltrans has partnered with the California Transportation Foundation to develop two funds to benefit the families of Caltrans workers killed on the job. The Workers Assistance and Memorial fund will help with the initial needs a surviving family faces,and the children of fallen workers may now apply for a Caltrans Fallen Workers Memorial Scholarship.

Hulk says it would be "very good" if Neymar were to join him in Russia with Zenit St Petersburg.
The Santos striker is one of the most sought-after talents in world football and has reportedly courted the interest of European giants Bayern Munich and Barcelona, the latter of which is understood to be the front-runner to land the star.
Speculation has been that Neymar requires a move to one of Europe's elite leagues in a bid to further his development. Hulk, however, has offered an alternative view and believes the starlet should resist the allure of playing in Germany or Spain by opting for a move to join him in Russia.
"I think that he knows when he needs to change his club. He will do it when he needs to. I can't choose for Neymar. Only he knows where he wants to go, but it would very good to have a player like that at Zenit," Hulk told R-Sport.
The 21-year-old has been the target of criticism lately following a couple of lackluster displays against Italy and Russia in Europe at international level, prompting some to believe the striker struggles to replicate his high standard of performances when crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
But Brazil teammate Hulk has leapt to his defense and says the youngster's talent is clear to all.
He added: "Footballers are always subject to criticism, but the world knows how good a player Neymar is and knows about the quality in his game."

BARTOW | Brain damage from years of drug abuse left convicted killer Paul Beasley Johnson nearly powerless to control his emotions the night he murdered three Polk County men in January 1981, including Polk County Sheriff's Deputy T.A. Burnham, his lawyers told a jury Wednesday.
BARTOW | Brain damage from years of drug abuse left convicted killer Paul Beasley Johnson nearly powerless to control his emotions the night he murdered three Polk County men in January 1981, including Polk County Sheriff's Deputy T.A. Burnham, his lawyers told a jury Wednesday.
The 12-member jury was empaneled Wednesday to recommend whether Johnson, 63, should receive life imprisonment or be executed for the murders. He's already been sentenced to death twice, but both sentences have been overturned. Most recently, the Florida Supreme Court mandated a new sentencing hearing after finding that a jailhouse informant admitted to lying during Johnson's murder trial.
Lawyers gave their opening statements Wednesday and will present testimony into next week. Jurors then will recommend a sentence to Circuit Judge Donald Jacobsen, who will make the final decision.
Prosecutors argued that Johnson deserves the same punishment he was given the first two times.
"Justice can be delayed," said Assistant State Attorney Adam Urra, "but it can't be denied to William Evans or Darrell Beasley or Deputy Burnham."
The three men were gunned down during an all-night killing rampage that began about 11:15 p.m. on Jan. 8, 1981, in Winter Haven, when cab driver William Evans picked up Johnson at the Continental Theater on Cypress Gardens Boulevard.
His body was found three days later in an orange grove with two bullets through his head. When deputies found his cab in a grove about a mile away, the front seat had been burned to destroy any evidence.
Evans' daughter, Linda Evans Collins, who was a dispatcher for the same cab company, testified Wednesday that a man whose voice she didn't know came on the two-way radio that night after her father disappeared. She said the man sounded like he was high on drugs, although he was coherent and understandable.
Prosecutors said Johnson found his way to a Lakeland restaurant, where he met Beasley and his friend, Amy Reid, and asked them for a ride. They took him as far as Drane Field Road, when Johnson lured Beasley to the side of the road and executed him while Reid watched from the car. She sped away, leaving Johnson behind, and called the Sheriff's Office.
Urra said Reid will testify that Johnson was clear-minded that night.
"He didn't appear to her to be under the influence," he said. "She said they wouldn't have let Johnson in the car if he appeared to be in the midst of some sort of psychotic episode."
Burnham responded to Reid's call for help, and Johnson executed him along Drane Field Road.
Johnson, who was 31, was arrested the night after the killings when a friend turned him in.
Assistant Public Defender Peter Mills told jurors Wednesday that Johnson had a difficult childhood, with his mother surrendering him to his father's parents when he was young. His grandfather, like his father, was a violent alcoholic, subjecting Johnson to frequent abuse.
"Parts of his brain are of such a size that they are damaged," Mills said. "They regulate behavior and impulse control."
Adding drug abuse to that, he said, "is like throwing dynamite into a fire."
Johnson already is serving two consecutive life sentencing for the attempted first- degree murders of two deputies who responded to back up Burnham, along with convictions for armed robbery, armed kidnapping and arson.
Mills said Johnson will never know freedom.
"You could not go soft on Mr. Johnson, even if you wanted to," he said. "Mr. Johnson is going to die in prison. That has been decided."

In the final Atlantic Sun Cross Country Coaches Poll of the season the Lady Bisons are ranked third behind first place Jacksonville and second place North Florida.
Jacksonville received six of the 11 first place votes. Lipscomb received three and North Florida two.
"Jacksonville is the defending champion and they deserve to be ranked No. 1 in the conference going into the championship," Lipscomb cross country coach Bill Taylor said. "Obviously everyone expects them to win."
The Lady Bisons have put together a solid worksheet this season with a pair of freshmen, Dani Walker and Alex Newby leading the way.
"I like where we are ranked," Taylor said. "We've had an amazing year and we've beaten a lot of ranked teams, but obviously we still have to earn respect in the conference.
"There are four or five teams that are really good this year. I think Jacksonville, North Florida, USC Upstate and Lipscomb are four of the best teams the conference has ever seen."
Ironically the USTFCCCA weekly poll has the Lady Bisons ranked sixth in the South Region. North Florida is seventh and Jacksonville is 11th.
Taylor is expecting even greater things from his runners as they head into the Atlantic Sun Cross Country Championship Oct. 30 at Milliken Research Park in Spartanburg, S.C. USC Upstate is hosting the meet.
"We've had a terrific year on the women's side," Taylor said. "Nothing will change that.
"But our season isn't over yet. All indications are that we are ready to run well at conference. I like what I've seen the past two weeks. It will definitely be a fun meet."
The Bisons are fifth in the final A-Sun Coaches Poll. Kennesaw State is the overwhelming favorite garnering 10 of 11 first place votes.
In the USTFCCCA weekly poll the Bisons are rated 15th in the South Region.
"I've actually been kind of surprised that we've been ranked as high as we have on the men's side this season," Taylor said. "We have a young team with a lot of potential, but we haven't put it together right on race day yet. It only takes one race though."
Taylor thinks that there are several teams that could be surprises in the A-Sun Championship.
"Kennesaw is the clear favorite in the conference," Taylor said. "I think Belmont is the next in line. But I also think that after Kennesaw there are maybe seven teams that could finish in almost any order.
"It looks to me like the men's side of the conference is weaker this year than it has been in many years. Yet, there also appear to be more teams that are close together. So it will probably be different than the last few years of two or three teams fighting it out for first, but it should be just as exciting."

Brushing holds on routes
I was watching Joe Mohle check out the moves on 'Cool Like That' last weekend and he made the observation that sport climbers generally don't brush holds. We all know why we brush holds, don't we?
So... attach a brush to your chalkbag and give your favourite route a once over

Re: Brushing holds on routes
Maybe off topic a bit but I would be interested to get people's opinions on the ticking of holds with chalk. When is it acceptable, when is it not? Is it general etiquette to brush them off when you are done working the route?

Re: Brushing holds on routes
To me, ticking and brushing go hand-in-hand. One should brush a route every time one cleans it and the same goes for tick marks. One should feel free to place small tick marks (maybe an inch or two in length) for hard to find holds but should make sure to properly clean both the hold and tick marks afterward. I have given a few people a stern talking to after seeing ridiculous tick marks being placed on jugs or climbers not carrying toothbrushes.

Re: Brushing holds on routes
For Onsight climbing, seeing massive tick marks pointing out crucial holds as you climb up the route kinda defeats the object to me.. Might as well have all the Beta before you head up the route. So i agree that tick marks should be removed on routes that are often climbed by others. It's obviously a different story if it's a closed project and/or only a handful of climbers are working the route.

Yes, I have the same question, why? ?

Re: Brushing holds on routes
Yes guys please brush the holds off (and tick marks if you are done with a climb). I would like to add; how to brush holds - brush them like tou are supposed to brush your teeth, small circular movements only. Vigorous back and forth brushing, particularly with a stiff nylon brush like a denture brush, will polish the holds over time, even on our seemingly bulletproof sandstone. This is not desirable so brush gently. The boar hair brushes sold at City Rock are a way better choice for hold brushing than nylon, not to mention not being made from petroleum by-products.

Multi Activity 7 nights Sat-Sat
This is our most popular holiday! Multi Activity challenges you to pack as much as you can into your holiday.
Multi Activity holidays give your children the chance to discover what they enjoy and be challenged and excited all day, every day. With over 50 activities on land and water to try and so many different centres to choose from, there's something to discover for every child whatever they're into!
We think 7 nights is where it's really at and here's just a few reasons why:
- It's long enough to really get to know new friends
- And we have more time to get to know your children better
- It means they get to do most of our best activities on every centre
- Your children will gain more independence and confidence
- but most importantly, it means they can have a lot more fun!
Plus, you can pick up and drop off outside work time!
Social networking...
Our holidays are all about getting children together in small groups to socialise, learn from one another and share the adventure. Meeting different children in a fun and stimulating group environment is key to what we do.
It's why we've developed our age groupings to create good group dynamics but also be flexible enough to adapt when it makes sense. We divide our holidays into three main age groups in the UK but allow for the youngest and/or older in each group to overlap adjacent age groups so you can choose which will best suit your children.
These are just a few of the reasons why 7 night Multi Activity holidays work so well and why we always make sure they are the best value for money of all. So, if your first though was a short break why not think about 7 nights this year? Lets hear it for the number 7!
Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the latest availability, prices and to book.
Multi activities
We offer over 50 different activities across all our centres and we pack in as many as possible on every PGL Adventure Holiday. Please note that not all activities are available at all centres; please see the specific centre pages for more information.
Evening activities
The fun doesn't stop there! We also include fun-packed evening entertainment programmes at all our centres, every day, all year round, whichever holiday you choose.
Our fantastic sports and activity hall offers even more great activities – inside and out. For 13–16 year olds there's a chill-out room with TV, CD player and pool table – a great place to relax with your friends.
It also has a recently built lake on-site for raft building and kayaking. If that's not enough, adrenaline junkies can test their nerves (and stomach!) on the awesome rides at Thorpe Park.
A typical itinerary for this holiday
|Off to the dining room with the rest of your group to fuel up for the day, you'll need plenty of energy to keep you going. Breakfast includes cereals, toast, yogurts, porridge, and cooked breakfast – you choose!
Don't forget to refill your drinks bottle before you head off to your first activity
|Morning Activities
|Nature Trail and Jacob's Ladder
|Worked up an appetite? Great – it's time to replenish your energy stores with the dining room. If you have energy to spare after lunch your Group Leader will always be ready for a quick kickabout with a ball or you could relax and chat with your new friends.
|Afternoon Activities
|Giant Swing and Canoeing
|Time to eat again – a different menu each day (and did we mention, often evening meals come with a hot pudding too – or you can stick with fruit if you prefer).
|Evening Ents
|Talent shows, campfires, quizzes and much more – your evening entertainment programme gives you the chance to get together with everyone else in your age group and have some laughs.
|Bedtime. The younger ones go first whilst older groups have time to chill out and chat or watch a DVD. Then it's lights out and time to sleep ready to do it all over again tomorrow!
Please note this is a sample itinerary for illustrative purposes only. Itineraries will be planned by the centre shortly before your arrival.
Our fantastic accommodation blocks sleep six in each room and all are en-suite. Younger age groups may be accommodated in our adjoining annexe, Bethany House, which has en-suite, 6–8 bedded rooms. It's a couple of minutes walk away with its own dining room, shop and separate chill-out room away from our older guests.

A Computerworld blog speculates that the open-source Unix distribution may live on, but Oracle won't be supporting it. At this point, "OpenSolaris' only real future is as a fork, which would not be easy to pull off. Still, with enough interest from developers it could be done. OpenSolaris is licensed under the

Obamas, Bidens to attend Cathedral prayer service
President Obama, Vice President Biden and their families plan to attend a prayer service Tuesday morning at the Washington National Cathedral.
The 106-year-old Episcopal church has long hosted presidential inaugural services. It was also the site of funerals for former presidents Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford. The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his last sermon there in 1968.
Earlier this month, the cathedral said it would begin hosting same-sex weddings that combine civil marriage ceremonies under local law with a blessing from the church.
Rev. Adam Hamilton, senior pastor at the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kan., will give Tuesday's sermon. Children from the Washington Performing Arts Society's Children of the Gospel Choir will sing.

BEVERLY, Mass. - With a team-high 16 kills, Praveen Pamidimukkala became the second player in the history of the men's volleyball program to eclipse the 1,000-kill mark in MIT's 30-18, 30-23, 30-19, victory over Endicott College on Wednesday night. The No. 10 Engineers improved to 6-1 on the year and 4-0 in NECVA New England Division play following the win.
Endicott and MIT exchanged points in the early going, as the Gulls and the Engineers found themselves gridlocked at five. MIT grabbed five of the next six points and then gradually extended its lead due to strong net play from Pamidimukkala and Michael Demyttenaere.
In the second stanza, the Engineers capitalized on several miscues by Endicott. However, the Gulls narrowed the gap to 19-15 which forced a timeout by MIT. Following the break, Endicott grabbed back-to-back points but the Engineers thwarted the comeback attempt and held on for the victory.
The Gulls opened game three by taking an early 2-1 advantage. On the following serve, George Chapell dropped in a service ace to extend the Gulls lead to two. Following an MIT timeout, the Engineers' Demyttenaere produced two straight blocks. The visitors continued to fight their way uphill, eventually pulling even after a Scott Pollom block to tie the score at 11. After taking a brief 14-11 advantage, Endicott answered with four consecutive points. MIT responded with eight unanswered points, blowing the game open at 22-15. In all, the Engineers would close out the match as they took 16 of the games' final 20 points.
Pollom tallied eight blocks as Demyttenaere connected on nine of his 10-errorless hitting attempts. Philip Rogoz dished out 28 assists while Ryan Dean and Eric Reuland each had seven digs for the Engineers. Reuland also contributed 10 kills and four blocks.

Clegg in tax call amid Africa trip
Global action against tax-dodging firms is vital as the problem spreads from poor to rich countries, Nick Clegg has said as he embarked on a visit to Africa.
The Deputy Prime Minister begins a three-day tour of Mozambique and Ethiopia on Wednesday as part of the UK's presidency of the G8 group of wealthy nations.
Tightening up the international tax system is one of Prime Minister David Cameron's top priorities for progress at June's summit in Northern Ireland. Amid huge controversy over the low tax bills of multinational giants in the UK, he has warned unilateral action would simply push the problems elsewhere.
And Mr Clegg said tackling tax abuse would bolster public support for the Government's policy of increasing foreign aid while imposing austerity at home. He is using the visit to meet politicians and diplomats from across the continent as well as UK firms running successful operations in the region.
He said: "Many of the difficulties that governments face in the developing world are becoming increasingly common in the developed world.
"For too long, the developed world ignored the way in which tax revenues, which rightfully belonged to developing countries, disappeared as people exploited different tax regimes, and made a mockery of governments in the developing world. We must work together to overcome it.
"To disrupt the vicious cycle of inequity in the systems of tax and trade, we must first create a level playing field whereby responsible and thriving companies are attracted to trade and do business in a fair and transparent way.
"As the UK will meet its promise to spend 0.7% of GNI on international aid in 2013, it is vital that the benefits of aid are not wiped out by losses sustained by multinationals or individuals gaming countries' tax systems."
Mr Clegg, accompanied on the visit by International Development Minister Lynne Featherstone, is due to meet the presidents of both countries. Ms Featherstone said boosting tax revenues would help developing nations "stand on their own two feet".
Officials said trade between the UK and the two countries was "booming" - with exports to Mozambique nearly doubling last year and more than doubling to Ethiopia in 2011. Among projects funded by UK aid to be visited by the ministers are a mobile phone banking system, and a UK firm making ethanol from root vegetable cassava to replace health-damaging charcoal for cooking and fair-trade

With the victory, ETSU has now won eight of its last nine games and improves to 9-7 overall, 6-3 in A-Sun play. Meanwhile, Stetson drops to 2-14, 2-6.
In the first half, the Bucs held a slim five-point advantage at 14-9 with 12:53 remaining before the break. However, at that point, the Hatters completely substituted five new players for their starting lineup and the Bucs capitalized with an 18-2 run over the next four minutes to make it 27-16 with eight minutes left. The two teams would trade baskets the rest of the half and ETSU led 42-31 at the intermission.
Stetson managed to cut into the ETSU advantage in the second half thanks mainly to a 9-1 run that culminated at the 12:35 mark with a foul shot by Garfield Blair, making it 52-47. ETSU withstood that charge and actually regained a 14-point lead at 71-57 with 3:34 remaining in the game. It was then that Stetson went to a full court pressing attack and once again cut the lead to five at 71-66 with 1:55 left. The Bucs used their solid foul shooting from there to hold on and get the win.
Senior guard Tim Smith (
The Bucs shot 80.5 percent from the floor, with players like Sneed - who have struggled from the line so far this season - going 8-of-11 from the line. ETSU out-rebounded the Hatters 37-34, forcing 16 turnovers and grabbing 10 steals.
Stetson was led offensively by E.J. Gordon, who scored a game-high 26 points. He was joined in double figures by Kris Thomas, who netted 10 points. Stetson forced 20 turnovers by the Bucs and grabbed 14 steals.
ETSU now continues on its road trip, as the Bucs will travel to
