I started my blog in 2008, since then I have tried to post projects every weekday and when I don't post I feel horrible. Usually it's not an issue. However over the past few months I've struggled, especially with the Monday posts. The weekend goes so quickly and boom it's Monday and no post. The kids are busier and involved in more things, I'm busier too than I used to be. All of these things together leave me less time to blog and just to stamp in general. After much thought, and for my own sanity and stress level I've decided to cut back on blogging. I won't be cutting back that much, I want to have a least 3 posts per week I'll be aiming for 4 per week, and some weeks I may still post 5 days a week. I don't want to cut back so much that I get out of the habit of doing it but I need to cut back a little.
There will be no schedule of when they'll happen, they'll fall somewhere in the Monday-Friday range, and will probably be different from week to week. For those of you that have followed my blog for years, thank you so much, I do appreciate it and I read every single comment that comes my way. I hope you'll continue to follow my blog.
My biggest goal with this cut back is quality and not quantity. Sometimes I feel that I'm just stamping for the post and it's often not my best work but it's something just because I need something to post. So I'm hoping that even though it will be slightly less frequently that it will still inspire you to stamp and craft too! Thanks for your understanding and I'll be back next week with some posts!
Thanks for looking, see you soon!!!!

Sometimes I just enjoy your writing more then the card. Not that your cards or projects aren't nice, just not what I make. You also inspire me to try things out of my comfort zone. You make me laugh & we all could use a lot more of that!! I can't wait to read & see what you make. Take the time that you need & we will be waiting for your blog to appear in our e-mails. Thanks!!

Wells Fargo mortgage job cuts reach 92
Wells Fargo, which accounted for nearly one in five mortgages issued in the Portland area last year, will lay off 17 mortgage workers in Portland, bringing its total cuts this year to 92.
The job cuts will come from the Wells Fargo Home Mortgage Retail Distributed Fulfillment group, 9600 N.E. Cascades Parkway, according to a notice filed Wednesday under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, or WARN.
The layoffs take effect Dec. 22 for the 17 employes who were notified Wednesday. For the others, notified earlier, layoffs will begin sooner.
In total, the bank said it is laying off 54 underwriters, four lending officers, three loan administration managers and 31 loan document specialists.
In August, Wells Fargo laid off 54 mortgage workers as mortgage lending cooled in the face of rising interest rates and a fall off in refinancing activity.
The San Francisco-based bank holds a dominant lead in the Portland residential mortgage industry. It wrote $7.9 billion in mortgages in 2012, up from $5.5 billion in 2011. It holds a 19.57 percent share of the local market, according to recently released Home Mortgage Disclosure Act reports filed with the federal government.
A spokesman said Wells Fargo is working to find other positions for the employes who received layoff notices. The affected group still employs 278.
Editor's note: This story has been corrected to clarify that the total mortgage jobs being cut by Wells Fargo, including those previously disclosed in August, stands at 92.

This is to enable the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), carry out major rehabilitation of the runway at the airport. FAAN's managing director, Saleh Dunoma, confirmed this in a statement released on Thursday. Dunoma also confirmed that the Kaduna International Airport would serve as the alternate from March 8. "Normal operations will re-commence at the Abuja Airport on April 19," he added. Dunoma appealed to airline operators, passengers, airport users and other stakeholders to bear with the FAAN, saying it would continue to upgrade facilities at the nation's airports.

St. Paul the Apostle School is located in southeast Grand Rapids, Michigan, and has served students in grades preschool through eighth for more than 50 years.
Ours is a community of love and faith.
St. Paul the Apostle School is not just a school, it's a vital part of the faith community of St. Paul the Apostle Parish. This faith-filled Catholic community is a dynamic expression of Christ's love in the world today; an expression reflected in the tremendous support that the church and school provide each other.
Our students are a bright and vibrant thread woven into the fabric of our faith community. Their eager participation in our weekend liturgies is a constant reminder of the enduring value of an education founded on Christ's teachings.
Faith is a part of every subject in the St. Paul curriculum; students pray daily, attend weekly Liturgy, prepare for and receive Sacraments, take active roles in parish life, and participate in many service projects to benefit those in need in the local, national and global community.
Parents are key to the rich educational and spiritual experience at this school. We acknowledge the family as the primary educator of children, and the staff collaborates with parents in all aspects of the St. Paul experience. Parents volunteer as event chaperones, room parents, coaches, library assistants, and classroom and playground helpers, actively supporting a safe and nurturing educational environment that promotes learning.
We invite you to visit this community of love and faith and to see for yourself the commitment we make to every child.

Croquet-based learning environments should combine a rich media vocabulary with a distributed multi-user social experience. Such environments can provide unique opportunities for creating and delivering experiences that enhance online teaching and learning. Designing a user interface for such collaborative spaces presents several unique challenges. To enable productive interactions between users of such spaces requires that software designers choose what sorts of social interactions and cues to support such interactions within the collaborative space, and which to avoid. Design considerations are further complicated by the need to accommodate usability expectations created by users who are familiar with modern video game conventions while at the same time creating a user interface that provides an accessible path to the novice user of three-dimensional collaborative virtual environments. In this paper we examine how the user interface must explicitly address the boundary between private and public in a virtual collaborative social space, and propose a set of initial user interface conventions so that we can start the trial and error process of developing the optimal user interface for Croquet-based collaborative spaces to support learning and instruction.

A little girth goes a long way
Been PEing for about 2 months now. I noticed my dick was bigger and couldn't resist but to take a ruler and measure my unit.
To my surprise it was still the same lenght (6" ). Disappointed, I was ready to quit PE.
A week passed and I decided to measure again. Still 6". I still wasn't sure why my dick seemed bigger and went to get measuring tape. To my surprise I went from 4.75" to 5" (sometimes a bit lower, sometimes a bit over)
It's safe to say I'll continue.
Also so veins are visible now, so it also made it look better LOL

What Tools Do Technical Writers Use
Students and others trying to break into technical writing are always wondering what tools they should use. The latest tools survey from WritersUA seems helpful in answering this question.
The survey concludes that some of the most popular tools for technical writers are Adobe Acrobat, Camtasia Studio, Adobe Captivate, Dreamweaver, Madcap Flare, Framemaker, Photoshop, Robohelp, Snagit, and Visio.
Of these tools, Flare scores highest as a tool that participants can't live without. They ranked it as a 5, meaning "very important." Presumably this is because Flare does an excellent job in single sourcing to other formats, such as print and mobile. It's an all-in-one solution, so it by definition it's important or you're not using the tool correctly.
The WritersUA survey is a little frustrating because these tools aren't grouped by category. Some are screen capture tools, others are PDF conversion tools, others are image editing tools, others are video recording tools. I use Photoshop and Snagit, but ranking these along with Robohelp and Flare is to compare apples to oranges. Similarly, Camtasia Studio and Captivate are in another category. It would be helpful to sort the tools by category. (Still, it's nice to see someone doing a tools survey in the first place.)
Of the help authoring tools, it's interesting to see Flare rank so high. Flare is an excellent help authoring tool, and with a knowledge of CSS you can completely customize the webhelp and print output to look professional. However, its main failure is the lack of collaborative authoring. If you have 15 writers all contributing to the same help project, you have to import the content from other authors. They can use supporting tools such as Madcap Contribute, or Word templates. You can also try hosting Flare on SharePoint and enabling collaboration this way.
But I'm guessing that Flare is popular because most technical writers are solo sailors on their own ship, without the need for collaboration from other writers. In my career, the number of collaborative projects has been very small. I am usually the only writer for the project, which means collaborative authoring is unimportant. I don't need a central repository installed on a server that numerous authors can access and pull content from. Content is also not reused between projects, since each documentation project covers a different product.
Sarah O'Keefe also has some comments on the WritersUA tools survey. See her post, The passion quotient. She notes that the survey highlights "the tool for which the importance is ranked the highest." Despite this criteria in evaluation, I am not sure how I would design the tools survey differently.

Gun sales should be up in that county.
I have been told that Shasta County's relatively low crime rate makes open carry unnecessary and anachronistic.I agree our area isn't a metropolitan hotbed of crime, however, the problem is that when our small community experiences a spike in criminal activity, the odds of becoming a victim are much higher than in places like San Francisco or Los Angeles. What compounds this for small counties, is that we are less likely to get deputies and equipment on patrol with budget cuts looming on the horizon.Shasta County crime increases
Officials say several isolated incidents skew statistics
But officials at the Shasta County Sheriff's Office caution that because crimes are rare in Shasta County it takes only a few incidents to create large spikes in reported crime statistics.
"In Shasta County, we're pretty lucky that we don't have that many crimes to begin with," said Undersheriff Greg Wrigley.
Even so, reports of murders, rapes, robberies, aggravated assaults and domestic violence increased from the year before.
There were 12 murders in 2007 -- up from eight the year before. Some 31 rapes were reported, compared with 19 the year before.
Robberies doubled in 2007 to 24 from the 12 in 2006.
Wrigley cautioned that the murder statistics were misleading because one murder scene accounted for five of the deaths.
On April 10, a Happy Valley family of six was found dead inside a charred home. Investigators suspect one of those found dead was the murderer, having shot his family members, then set the home on fire and died in the flames.
Wrigley said that if the Happy Valley mass murder is counted as one incident, then the murder rate is the same as the year before.
Sheriff Tom Bosenko noted in a statement that he's continuing to hire more deputies.
Of the 18 vacant deputy sheriff positions the sheriff's office reported at the end of 2007, 13 of those will be filled by June, he said.
And the year 2007 wasn't all bleak.
Arson calls dropped from 10 in 2006 to three in 2007, and auto grand theft dropped from 98 calls in 2006 to 51.

The explanation that statistics are skewed by a mass murder and would match last years numbers if it were considered one 'incident' is utterly fallacious.I doubt the administration would make that kind of distinction if one of their deputies shot six people with their sidearm and tried to tell his superiors that it only counted once.
You add to this recent localattacks with a baseball bat, a machete, a beating that put a high school student in the hospital, I am not at all convinced that I am safer carrying concealed in this supposed low crime oasis. If anything, I am more fearful with inadequate numbers of patrol deputies, expected budget cuts, and empty assurances that these crimesare isolated or anomalous circumstances.

Gun sales should be up in that county.
Yes- this is a necropost.
But it is more news on the emerging problem with our economy and our crime rate.
LO CEDRO - Two bank robbery suspects' attempted getaway ended after about 15 minutes Thursday when a Shasta County sheriff's deputy rammed their minivan with his squad car in a busy Anderson parking lot.
The chase began minutes after an armed robbery was reported at the Tri-Counties Bank on Deschutes Road in Palo Cedro at 10 a.m.
It ended when deputies surrounded the robbery suspects at gunpoint after smashing their minivan in the parking lot of the Shasta Outlets in Anderson.
"We are fortunate that there wasn't loss of life here in the pursuit or at Tri-Counties Bank," said Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko.
There was also a man who was apprehended shoplifting at one of the 24 hour supermarkets on this same day... and while these stories arent that big deal to metropolitan areas, where it is more commonplace, it represents a marked increase in crimnal activity in our community.PALO CEDRO - Shasta County sheriff's deputies were looking for a man who robbed the Palo Cedro Pharmacy on Thursday night.
The robber was armed with an unknown type of handgun and reportedly forced employees to the floor before escaping with drugs.
The robbery took place at 5:57 p.m. in the pharmacy, which is on Deschutes Road just south of Highway 44.
It was the second robbery in Palo Cedro on Thursday. Two robbers led deputies on a chase after holding up the Tri-Counties Bank at 10 a.m., and they were captured 15 minutes later.
This is why citizens must be the deterent.

Around two dozen Redding Police Department employees may be cut
By Ryan Sabalow (Contact)
Tuesday, April 21, 2009
Around two dozen community service officers and office workers at the Redding Police Department have been told that their jobs might be in danger as the city prepares to ratchet down amid a projected $3 million or more budget shortfall, sources say.
But city officials — from the police chief to the city manager and his assistant — declined to discuss the matter saying they were waiting on the release of a comprehensive list of potential cutbacks that could be available as early as Wednesday.
Three independent sources, in e-mails and in interviews with the Record Searchlight, said that on Tuesday around two dozen police department employees met with their managers and were told their jobs were potential targets for layoffs. One of the sources spoke on condition of anonymity. One person contacted the paper with a signed letter to the editor. The third contacted the newspaper in an anonymous e-mail.
Chief Peter Hansen confirmed that a meeting took place, but he declined to discuss it.
"I've been asked to keep this information confidential," Hansen said. "Until the city manager comes out with some information, that's where it needs to stay."
Hansen also declined to release a copy of the memo sent to employees, saying it was a confidential personnel matter.
City Manager Kurt Starman and Assistant City Manager Barry Tippin said no layoff notices have been sent.
"We are preparing for a special City Council meeting on May 5 to discuss additional budget modifications," Starman said in a voice mail message. "And so we are working on those issues as we speak. Department directors are chatting with employees that may be impacted by those budget actions. But we've not made any firm decisions at this point."
Starman said a list of potential cuts could be released as early as Wednesday, and the information would be distributed to the public.
Brian Martin, one of the Redding Police Department employees in danger of being laid off, said any cuts to the workers who support officers and detectives would lead to longer response times for emergency calls.
"At this point approximately 70 percent of the calls for service are handled by these support personnel," Martin said in a Record Searchlight letter to the editor. "If they are all gone, either officers will be bogged down with low-priority calls or the police department will simply be forced to stop providing anything but service for high-priority calls."
The city already had been planning to cut at least $3 million from its general fund when it adopts a two-year budget in June.
The city likely will have to make even deeper cuts in light of a report last month which showed fourth-quarter sales tax receipts for 2008 were $5.02 million, down 11.4 percent in Redding from October through December compared with the same period in 2007.
The drop represented a $637,244 loss in sales tax revenue compared with the same quarter last year.
Reporter Ryan Sabalow can be reached at 225-8344 or at email@example.com.
So, the city is looking at cuts that will further increase response times. The story is unlcear on just how far reaching these cuts will be and authorities are playing their hand close to their vest.
I have heard elsewhere that theContra CostaCounty DA indicated that they will not be prosecuting misdemeanor crimes due to expected budget shortfalls. With law enforcement organzationsmaking these retreats from providing services and prosecuting crimes, there will be a proportionate increase in lawlessness. The disinsentive for criminals to behave is evaporating.
Having been chastized for bringing back the 'Old West', I am struck by the irony that law enforcement is being cut back to the point they will have to rely on the public to maintain order. I am wondering if this could be the catalyst that broadens the acceptance by peace officers of citizen exposed carry.

Shasta County sheriff may have to cut a fifth of his staffBy Amanda Winters (Contact)
Wednesday, May 13, 2009
Facing $3.2 million in budget cuts, the Shasta County sheriff may have to eliminate 47 positions - about a fifth of his department - and close a floor of the jail, Sheriff Tom Bosenko said Tuesday.
Sheriff's Office administrators met with county administrators Monday afternoon to discuss the cuts.
Bosenko said he is teetering between keeping the jail fully staffed and maintaining an adequate patrol unit for the 800-square-mile county. Of the 47 positions that could be eliminated, 22 are vacant. Within the department there are 237 positions.
Further cuts to the patrol units would come at a time when crime is up and more officers, not fewer, are needed on the streets, he said.
In January, County Administrative Officer Larry Lees asked all county departments to cut 10 percent of their budgets, but Lees said so far Bosenko's department has not complied.
"I have not seen the sheriff's plan total," Lees said. "For the most part, it's my understanding the sheriff and probation group have not made those cuts at this time."
Shasta County has not spent money it doesn't have, so is better off than some California counties, Lees said. He said he encourages the county to continue on that course.
Reductions in grant funding, state funding and tax revenue have left the county facing a deficit of at least 10 or 12 percent over last year, Lees said.
"My job is public safety and I consider that a very top priority," Bosenko said. "I find it unacceptable to make those kinds of cuts to our patrol operations or our offender accountability."
Bosenko said he can't imagine pulling patrol staff to maintain a full jail staff, but also can't imagine letting offenders out early where they could pose a threat to society.
The jail houses up to 381 inmates on three separate floors.
If one floor were to close, that could mean up to 150 lower-classification inmates would be released, Bosenko said.
Low-classification offenses include DUIs, drug charges, robbery charges and domestic violence charges, he said.
Bosenko said he will be meeting with his staff later this week about the pending reductions and how they will be affected.
Lees said county budgets will continue to be scrutinized and altered until the 2009-2010 budget is finalized June 30. A budget workshop will be held June 8 to give the public a chance to learn about the process and weigh in.
Lees said all departments will have to make difficult, but necessary, cuts in the coming weeks.
"It's not a matter of one department being better than another; it's a matter of the cash is not there and we can't spend money we don't have," he said. "That's what I've always told the board: We can't spend money we don't have."
Shasta County Supervisor David Kehoe said the Board of Supervisors will put a lot of thought into the level of funding allocated to the Sheriff's Office.
"The board is cognizant of the public safety needs," he said. "We will weigh all of the considerations very carefully and then make a decision as to the allocation of our limited resources."
Reporter Amanda Winters can be reached at 225-8372 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Let's do a little dirty math. 47 from 237 is 190. Many of the remaining 190 personel are administrative or work at the jail and are not peace officers and not part of the patrol division. So lets say we have 100 deputies available to patrol. That makes our deputies responsible for 8 square miles of territory. Oops, you have three shifts of deputies on the rouster... so if my assumptions were accurate, there would be 33 deputies on duty at a given time. That boosts the territory that our deputies are responsible for to about 25 square miles. Now realistically the distribution of patrols is not so proportionate- but if you take a worst case scenario where a deputy is at the furthest point in their patrol away from a call, and they drive an average of 60 miles an hour to arrive at the call 25 minutes after they were dispatched.
Awesome. Budget cuts? Even better. What's more is that my math is probably too generous. If there was ever a reason to open carry- its a law enforcement budget crisis.

Your math is far too generous. I doubt they'd work 7 days a week. 4x12 shifts would be a stretch, but it could be done. that means you basically have 4 shifts to cover, not 3. So you would really have 25 officers on duty most days.
The simple solution to the budget problem is to stop prosecuting victimless crimes, like drug possession. This would significantly reduce the jail population, and also would waste less time on the patrol side of things. This would work state-wide, but I think it would be great to see individual departments try it out.

Crime's up here too.
just a few days ago I heard a sireeen, then two, then 6, then 12, so I grabbed the video cam, jumped in the truck, and headed towards them. didn't take bit a second or two, because as it turned out, they were headed towards me
This turned out to be a robbery of the Starbucks about a block away. Guess what these desperados got for their trouble?
The tip jar......
Following election, sheriff plans more layoffs
The enormity of the state budget crisis swiftly set in Wednesday with local officials facing impending layoffs and additional significant budget cuts.
Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko said he will be sending layoff notices later this week to 22 Sheriff's Office employees and expects to lay off more after voters struck down five out of six propositions in Tuesday's special election.

This is all but a prelude to what is in store for the rest of the country.
I feel fortunate that I live in a rural area where serious crimes are almost unheard of. The only LE is the county Sheriffs Office that has been combined with the Linden PD. It's a small force to be sure. I'm able to OC without harrassment from the LEO's. Heck, none of them have even asked if I have a permit for my OC handguns.
Despite the fact that our county has the highest unemplyment in the state, it's still pretty peaceful here. But as the economy worsens, that could change. My hopes are that we can get more folks here to OC dailey in an attempt at keeping it peacefull here as long as possible. If we start losing LEO's due to budget cuts, we may have to take up the slack to keep the peace in our own county andrural communities.
I'm not as worried about locals posing problems as much as I expect the trouble makers to be outsiders.

Redding council to police: make concessions or lose more officersThis inability to be all things to all people and be everywhere at every moment exposes the reality that the police cannot be solely responsible for our safety. As much as officer Mills wants to conceal the fact that crime occurs in a little town like Redding, he is only delaying the inevitibility that our friends and neighbors will come into contact with, or become a victim of crime.

Wednesday, August 19, 2009
After listening to passionate pleas from police officers and their supporters to spare the force further cuts, a Redding City Council majority late Tuesday indicated no department could be spared the knife as the city prepares to slice spending still further.
Vice Mayor Patrick Jones and council member Mary Stegall expressed frustration that police seemed unwilling to consider further concessions.
"We appreciate the job you do," Jones said. "But we are in a global recession that is unprecedented and our options are running thin. It's time the unions realize we have limited options and concessions going forward are going to be a must."
Stegall, who describes herself as the most pro-union person on the dias, said she was disappointed.
"All of you spoke so well," Stegall said. "But every one of you said, 'Don't cut us, cut somebody else.'"
Council member Missy McArthur said she supports the police but noted the city has already "bent over backwards" to avoid deep cuts to public safety.
Police officers in other cities have offered up dramatic concessions to save their jobs, Mayor Rick Bosetti said.
Only council member Dick Dickerson seemed mostly sympathetic, saying concessions alone won't close the city's budget gap and any cuts should spare the people wearing the badges.
The discussion came near the end of a marathon meeting that stretched into the wee hours of this morning.
The council took no action on specific cuts, but unanimously approved a budgeting plan that calls for internal loans and money transfers from various pots into the general fund to help plug a looming $8.6 million hole created by spending that continues to outstrip plunging revenue.
"We can't spend money we don't have," City Manager Kurt Starman told the council and the audience, which nearly filled the Council Chambers even as midnight approached and the meeting dragged into its fifth hour.
The internal loans and transfers make up $4.8 million of the amount Redding plans to cut.
To get the rest, the city will lop another $3.8 million, or 5.5 percent from the general fund. This would be the fifth in a series of cuts that have already totaled nearly $10 million since February 2008.
Starman has asked department heads to produce budget cuts up to 10 percent. Officials have yet to finalize a list of specific cuts and won't until September. The council must still discuss and approve any proposed cuts.
The police department has lost 23 positions since 2008 to budget cuts and expired grant funding. Police Chief Peter Hansen has said up to nine officers could be laid off in this next round of cuts.
Over a half dozen officers asked the council late Tuesday to instruct Starman to protect the department from further reductions.
"We work hard to make sure citizens don't see what we see every night," officer Chris Mills said. "We have been cut to the bone."
Mills said he has had to make arrests without backup. Officers responding to a gang fight report on the east side Monday evening had to come from Lake Boulevard, and then rush off to the Safeway at Churn Creek and East Cypress, where an armed robbery was underway, he said.
"If we had gotten one more priority call, we would not have been able to respond," Mills said. "This was a normal Monday night."
More story at the link...
By sheilding us from the crime he encounters every night, he may well protect us on one occasion, but this reliance on the police to protect us is a dangerous path to victimhood- We must take responsibility for our own safety, we must be the deterent, and we must not use 911 as our only recourse in the event any of us should come into harms way.

Be careful open carrying up in the Redding, Anderson and surrounding areas. I was visiting family there a few weeks ago and came across 3 LEO (I was not carrying as my main carry gun is illegal in CA ) so I decided to inquire about their opinions on UOC.If there was ever a reason to open carry- its a law enforcement budget crisis.
It did not go well AT ALL. I asked them how they would approach a person open carrying and what their policy is regarding MWAG calls (I had actually planned on UOC when I was visiting b4 I found out my gun is illegal there...). It seemed like the older officer was pretty much leading the show at this point in time but he seemed offended that I had even asked the question and proceeded to tell me that when they get aMWAG call or see someone OC'n,the citizen would be drawn down on and tackled to the ground untillhe found out the gun was unloaded.
Ireplied by asking if his department has ever had a lawsuit filed againstit for something like that because that is assault with a deadly weapon and a violation of that person's rights.
He then threatened to arrest me. I asked him for what? And he responded by saying "I'll find something." I said "Ok. May I please have all three of your business cards?" to which they all hesitated but eventually complied. I then told them that their supervisor would be hearing from me shortly and bid them all a good day.
The older officer (leader) did not sound at all worried about my comments, but the two younger cops definitely did not like the thought of mespeaking to their supervisor.
All in all, just be careful up there. It sounds like the OC movement has not made a significant presence up there yet and LEO are still "in training"
jrwalker wrote:PM me with departement specifics.It sounds like the OC movement has not made a significant presence up there yet and LEO are still "in training"
There's a couple of us in the neighborhood. My police encounter was friendly and I was not detained at gunpoint or handcuffed. I might add that there is not a huge presence of UOC here because many are satisfied with obtaining permission from teh Sheriff's department.
With the economy circling the drain and the anticipated budget cuts looming, there will be more cause to present a hardened profile. Given the circumstances, the CLEO's will have to decide whether they want to occupy their timewith questioning those lawfully carrying a firearm or mitigating real crime.

Redding police: Violent crimes rise
Assaults increase by 57 cases from last yearLike the chief of police, I am concerned about the increase in violent crime in our community. In my situation I have two options to keep and bear and neither of theminclude a loaded firearm when I am not at home. I have California's fastest growing pro-gun community telling me that UOC is undesirable at this time. Which leaves me withpoor man's ccw- a firearm locked in a secure case.

Thursday, September 3, 2009
Crime statistics released Wednesday by the Redding Police Department show a spike in violent crime, said the city's police chief.
"I am concerned about the increase in violent crime," said Police Chief Peter Hansen.
In the first six months of this year, there were 337 violent crimes - homicides, rapes, robberies or aggravated assaults - an increase of 30 from the first six months of 2008 and 119 more than the first six months of 2007. While the number of rapes and robberies is down, aggravated assaults are up by 57 cases over the same period last year.
There have been two homicides so far this year, more than the first six months in the past six years. There had been one homicide each in the first six months of 2004 and 2008 and none in the first halves of 2005, 2006 and 2007.
The two homicides in the first half of 2009 were the fatal punching of Adam Martinez, 31, by Lennart Christian Schauman, 30, both of Redding; and the murder of Timothy Lee Alcorn, 48, of Redding, Hansen said.
Schauman threw a punch on April 25 that knocked Martinez to a dance floor; the injury eventually killed him on May 14 after weeks in a coma. District Attorney Jerry Benito announced in July that he was not going to charge Schauman with manslaughter in the case because he didn't think a Shasta County jury would convict him.
Albert Sanchez, 18, John Hadley Thompson, 15, and Jared Cory Voss, 17, all of Redding, are accused of murder, kidnapping and robbery in the April 18 fatal beating of Alcorn. Alcorn was found dead two days later in a wooded area off Masonic Avenue.
The report shows the number of property crimes - burglary, larceny and vehicle theft - to be down. There were 1,423 property crimes in the first six months of this year, compared to 1,465 in the first six months of 2008. In the first half of 2007, there had been 1,370.
Because of the drop in property crimes, the total number of crimes was also down.
Hansen said he is hopeful that the City Council's decision Tuesday to suspend lowering utility late fees to avoid laying off as many as seven police officers will help keep crime rates from rising.
But statistics from the year's final six months will show the result of less room at the Shasta County jail because of budget cuts, Hansen said. In June, the Board of Supervisors reduced the number of inmates kept at the chronically full 381-bed jail by 150 inmates, making drunken drivers, petty thieves and drug users less likely to serve jail time.
"We haven't really had time to assess the impact of the jail closure on the crime rate," Hansen said.
Reporter Dylan Darling can be reached at 225-8266 or email@example.com.
With a real concern about my safety in a community that is losing police/sheriff's deputies and an increase in criminals roaming around, I will likely be accused of valuing my freedom and security*over the the wishes of others to keep a legislative low profile if I continue to be armed.
Am I to leave my pistol at home?
* Im sure others will translate that to mean my desire to be an attention *****.

So does pro-gun always mean pro-self defense or pro second amendment? In my world it doesn't. A pro gunner can be a target shooter only, or a hunter or collectoronly who doesn't want to risk their "privilidge" over something they might feel irrelevant now. In other words, I don't think that all gun owners are equal in mindset enough to be included in one community. You may be succumbing to some influences from a group that isn't even your peers. Youmightcompare this to gold owners who stash it in the safe and take it out for stroking every now and again, but they would never even consider trading with it on a day-to-day basis. You on the other hand, are not embarrassed or afraid to use your gold (gun) as it was meant to be.I have California's fastest growing pro-gun community telling me that UOC is undesirable at this time
Certainly not. ****** do it for the money. At most, you may translate that into an attention ****, but if that were the case you'd have found so many other avenues to draw it that don't carry criminal penalties.* Im sure others will translate that to mean my desire to be an attention *****.
This editorial is further evidence that police cannot be the amazing superheroes many expect them to be. They are neither omnipresent, nor faster than a speeding bullet. While funding is helpful in paying employees, the fact of the matter is the Sheriff doesn't need financial support as much as he needs the support of the community.Remember June, when Shasta County budget cuts forced the sheriff to lay off nearly 20 employees, turn prisoners out of one floor of the jail and lock up the Burney substation? Those were the good old days.
That lean-year budget, which Sheriff Tom Bosenko argued would imperil the public's safety during an unsuccessful lobbying drive against the cuts, has only grown worse as retail sales and the taxes they generate to support county law enforcement have collapsed.
In outlining the effects of a further half-million dollars in Sheriff's Office budget cuts that the Board of Supervisors approved Tuesday morning, Tom Bosenko stressed that his department had at least avoided further layoffs.
He added, however, that ever-slimmer resources would be stretched to the breaking point in the case of a fire, flood, homicide or similar emergency that demanded an all-out mobilization.
That's not a hypothetical fear. Less than two hours later, a robber held up the U.S. Bank branch in Burney. He shot and injured one customer, took several bank employees hostage, and fired multiple rounds at officers surrounding the bank in a small-town standoff that lasted through most of the afternoon.
That's the nature of emergency services. Holy heck can break loose at any moment.
As things go, the Burney robbery didn't end as badly as it might have. After failed attempts to negotiate, deputies eventually shot and arrested the suspect, who was hospitalized Tuesday evening. No customers, employees or officers were killed despite all the gunfire, which is a small miracle.
And the massive response - from the Sheriff's Office, the Redding Police Department and the California Highway Patrol - shows that even with fewer resources, local law enforcement can round up an impressive posse.
Still, the events are a stark reminder about why we need a healthy Sheriff's Office, which the county is struggling to maintain.
Bosenko conceded Tuesday that, hard as he tried to fight the earlier round of budget cuts, they were the right decision in the face of the county's grim finances. And they were.
But if the public has to endure the effects of many more such wise decisions, we'll be in dire shape.
Our view: The county is struggling to preserve law enforcement as taxes vanish - and Tuesday's robbery in Burney is a stark reminder of the stakes
Even with 3200 concealedlicense holders in the county, there was no deterrentfor someone to walk into a bank, seize hostages, and shoot up the joint. With an unincorporated village like Burney, the Peoplemust assert themselves and show strength when the Sheriff's department cannot.
If just 1% of the men in Burney openly carried, there would be about 17 armed deterrents- 17 reasons why criminals shouldpass up the town altogether...
Yet, the hand wringing is over the insufficiencies of the socialized fundingfor thepolice.
If the chief constable wanted, he could remedy the GFSZ moot and issue licenses to carry loaded and exposed in these outlying communities. But we know where thatends- don't we?

Shasta County deputies, correctional officers asked to take 9 percent pay cutIve been noticing that there has been a spike in reports of burglary and fraud--- in the county south of here three bozoes burglarized a closed mini mart for three 40 oz beers and got caught hitting another business nearby. They netted themselves $70,000 bail over $9.00 in beer. Another idiot started cutting checks on an account with no money in it. He tallied up $14,000 in purchases before he was caught...

Shasta County sheriff's deputies and jail correctional officers may soon take a 9 percent pay cut to start paying their share of retirement benefits, an expense the county has paid for at least two decades.
New hires also would have to wait an additional five years before being able to retire with full retirement benefits, according to drafts of employment contracts provided this week to the Record Searchlight by the Deputy Sheriff's Association.
Representatives from the union, which includes about 150 deputies, district attorney's investigators and jail guards, say the proposed cuts are inequitable, and they're worried that the Shasta County supervisors might unilaterally adopt the new contracts without the union's approval.
"We know the economic situation right now. We know we're lucky to have jobs. We know that," said Jon Ruiz, a sheriff's deputy who negotiates for his peers. "But our issue is there isn't fairness across the board."
But Larry Lees, the county's chief administrative officer, said Tuesday that the concessions are necessary to keep from laying off more deputies and jail guards.
Shasta County faces a budget gap of $7.5 million.
The proposed contracts are fair, and other unions will soon be asked to make similar concessions, Lees said.
"The whole reason we're doing this is trying to save jobs," Lees said. "It's a not a matter of us saying, 'We don't like you' or 'We want to spend it somewhere else.' The money's just not there."
Lees said he wants to avoid the possibility of the supervisors unilaterally adopting the contract without the union's approval, something that can happen if a union declines an employer's "last, best and final" offer.
"I would rather be in a position where we agree on something," Lees said.
A decision could be reached as early as the supervisors' Tuesday board meeting, Lees said.
But union representative Steve Allen said Monday that the county is already well on its way to adopting the proposal. He notes that drafts of the resolution approving the contracts already have been written.
"They've got this railroad going full steam," Allen said.
Under the proposed contracts, the deputies, investigators and corrections officers would have to pay all 9 percent of their "member contribution" of their California Public Employees' Retirement System pensions.
The county currently pays that share of their retirement as well as the county's portion, about 25 percent of the deputies' pay, Lees said.
The 9 percent cuts would translate to about a $1 million a year in savings, Lees said.
Allen said the county has been paying the "member contribution" since the 1980s.
The proposal also changes the ages at which new deputies and corrections officers would be able to retire and receive pensions.
Currently, deputies and investigators are subject a 3 percent at 50 formula, and corrections officers fall under a 2 percent at 50 pension plan.
This means employees may retire at 50 with a pension equal to three percent of their highest salary multiplied by the number of years they worked.
Currently, corrections officers retiring after 30 years would be paid pensions equal to 60 percent of their top pay, while deputies retiring after 30 years on the job would be paid pensions equal to 90 percent of their highest salaries.
Those numbers wouldn't change for current employees, but, under the county's proposal, newly hired jail guards, investigators and deputies would have to wait until they were 55 before retiring.
Ruiz and Allen say they're frustrated that they've been asked to make such cuts when other unions haven't.
Lees said they're the only group being asked to approve cuts now because they're the only union whose contract is up for negotiation.
He noted that earlier this month the county's probation officers, represented by the Professional Peace Officers Association, voluntarily voted to cut their pay by 6 percent to share their CalPERS cost.
The probation officers' concessions came mid-contract, when there were no negotiations taking place.
Ruiz and Allen also say it's unfair that county supervisors voted to cut board members' pay by only 5 percent, yet deputies, investigators and guards are asked to take a 9 percent slice out of their checks.
But Lees said it's likely Shasta County's supervisors will vote to cut their own pay again.
He declined to say how much that might be.
So whats this got to do with the story quoted above?
Well, ifremaining deputies (the ones that get to keep their jobs at lower pay) are d!cking around with the twits that are taking things that dont belong to them - the likelihood that something really bad,like the Burney bank shooting, goes up like a roman candle.
If our law enforcement suffers more cuts- which I am certain they will - the People of Shasta County will have to harden their homes, cars, and take up their individual responsibility to be the deterent to crime.

I've been thinking a lot about dreams lately.
When my first marriage ended, it was the loss of all the dreams I'd had that left me mourning the most.
And it was the establishment of new dreams that helped me heal the most, and helped me find myself again.
Steven and I recently marked 3 1/2 years of marriage. Something that seems so insignificant, yet....
I recently read an article about a study that had shown that the 7-year itch is actually a myth, or at least a thing of the past. Great news, except for the fact that the study revealed a "3-yr glitch" Apparently the majority of divorces occur within the first 3 1/2 years after marriage. A fact I found particularly intriguing since I walked out the door of my first marriage for the last time 3 1/2 years, almost to the exact day. They say that's how long it takes for the lovey-dovey blinders to come off and for all those traits that were once endearing to finally drive you to the point of leaving.
As always you can read the rest of my ramblings here.

Tim Tebow's legion of fans will be Tebowing somewhere other than Denver this season.
Fresh off landing Peyton Manning yesterday, the Broncos reportedly are prepared to trade Tebow despite the fiercely debated quarterback leading them to the playoffs last season — and despite a postseason promise by Denver VP John Elway that Tebow would enter training camp as the presumptive starter in 2012.
Elway broke that pledge in very public fashion the past two weeks, making the Broncos the first team out of the gate to pursue Manning after the four-time MVP quarterback was released by the Colts 13 days ago.
Any thought the Broncos might keep the unorthodox Tebow around to learn from Manning and run the Wildcat formation was quickly scotched yesterday. ESPN reported Elway immediately planned to deal Tebow as soon as he found out Manning was Denver-bound.
A league source speculated the Broncos would go so far as to release Tebow if they can't find a trade partner because the cost to their salary cap would be minimal.
Speculation on Tebow's next stop — assuming the Broncos can trade him — centered immediately on the three teams in the former Heisman Trophy winner's home state of Florida.
The Dolphins quickly tried to put a stop to that, signing former Jaguars passer David Garrard last night, and Tampa hasn't shown any interest, either. But Tebow grew up in the Jacksonville area, and the Jaguars are likely to feel fan pressure to add him despite his awkward quarterbacking skills.
The Patriots also could be interested, considering new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels made Tebow a first-round pick two years ago and New England likes to use unusual sets on offense. The Eagles, too, might be in the market for a mobile backup to Michael Vick.
Tebow has not spoken publicly since the Broncos' interest in Manning became known, a stance that included him cancelling a planned media session at one of his Florida charity events earlier this month on the same day Manning was visiting Denver's practice facility.
Elway's decision is hardly a surprise, considering the Hall of Fame quarterback could hardly hide his dismay — and at times disgust — last season while Tebow unconventionally pulled out comeback win after improbable comeback win.
Tebow was 8-5 in 13 starts for the Broncos last season, including a staggering playoff upset of the Steelers, but he completed just 47 percent of his passes.
"I wouldn't say I feel bad for him," Broncos defensive end Robert Ayers told Denver reporters yesterday when asked about Tebow. "It's a business. And I'm pretty sure Tim understands that. … We wish him luck, no matter what he does. I hope he's here. He's a great leader, a great locker room guy."

hackers have used the widely known injection tool havij to obtain a list of accounts from ftv.co.in and dumped them on pastebin. all usernames and passwords are in clear text. Showing that tools like this still bring results is a big worry, this tool is a well known tool that looks for unsecured database connections to be able to inject data, you would think by now that developers would be aware of this and put measures in place to stop these attacks, maybe one day they will learn, until then people will continue to use tools to "hack" websites. https://pastebin.com/bWbNsYbR

- Lone Wolf AlphaWolf Glock 19 Barrel 9mm Fluted, Threaded 1/2 x 28 416R Steel 4.60"Out of Stock$159.95
- Lone Wolf AlphaWolf Glock 17 Barrel 9mm Fluted, Threaded 1/2 x 28 416R Steel 5.03"Out of Stock$159.95
Although Lone Wolf Distributors may be best known to Glock shooters as makers of simple but excellent parts like their LWD 3.5lb connector, they are a full service design and manufacture company and can sell you a single spring or enough parts to build an entire Glock 17 type handgun – without any actual Glock parts!
Lone Wolf has been a longtime source for many Glock owners, but in recent years they have raised the bar in terms of Glock innovation. Increasing amounts of development and new product introduction on Lone Wolf's part has led to lots of attention for their work, explaining the high demand for and popularity of the Polymer80 80% lower frames and frame kits.
If you like the idea of the Polymer80 frame in terms of grip angle and other features but don't want to wade towards the deeper end of the firearms manufacturing pool, LoneWolf has developed the Timberwolf Frame (same frame on the Agency Arms NOC). The Timberwolf frame offers many features and improvements when compared to the original Glock. Shooters with average or small hands will love the slimmer grip. Shooters with large hands and fat fingers will love the extended beavertail and the trigger guard undercut. Actually, almost everyone will love those modifications. And with improved checkering and a magwell mounting rail, the Timberwolf is ready for concealed carry or competition right out of the box.
From the aforementioned 3.5 lb connector to blank slides and everything in between, Lone Wolf is one of the first names on anyone's list for Glock 19 or Glock 17 parts, but no matter which model Glock you shoot, Lone Wolf has you covered. For example, if you have a Glock 23 in 40 Smith and Wesson but want to shoot 9mm with total reliability, Lone Wolf can sell you an entire slide assembly in 9mm, or just a 9mm conversion barrel for your current slide. They can even sell you a longslide with a 5" barrel like on the Glock 34 or Glock 35 to fit your G19 or G23. Of course, conversion, threaded, or ported barrels are available in stainless or with black oxide or other coatings/platings.
Another popular Lone Wolf part is their UAT or Ultimate Adjustable Trigger. Significantly less expensive than the competition, the LWD UAT will have you saying OMG with its 6061 billet aluminum construction and smoothly machined edges. Furthermore, it can be adjusted for pre- and over-travel while installed in the gun. Intended for the Gen 3 and Gen 4 Glocks, it may be used in Gen 1 and Gen 2 Glocks with the trigger bar that was already installed in those pistols.
Whether you just want to make minor improvements to Glock Perfection or throw out the baby with the bathwater and start with a blank slate, Lone Wolf parts from Omaha Outdoors are just what you need.

If there are 15 dietitians at Alder Hey then why has my nephew been referred to a clinic in Norris Green, and had 3 appointments cancelled then rearranged only to be cancelled again?
Nutrition and Dietetics
Dietitian's are trained to interpret the science of nutrition into practical food related advice in the management of a wide variety of diseases. They also have the knowledge and skills to assess and manage nutrition support.
Dietitians are involved in supporting children with a wide variety of childhood conditions helping them acheive their potential for growth and development through nutrition support and dietary change. All dietitians must be registered with the Health Professions Council.
We provide a comprehensive service to patients requiring dietary advice or nutrition support. When a child or young person is referred to us we will:
- Assess the need for dietary management
- Check height, weight and other measures of growth and nutritional status
- Plan the correct feed or diet based on our assessment
- Explain the dietary treatment in a way that is understandable and manageable
- Monitor the child's progress and advise on changes when needed
- Keep all the healthcare professionals involved up to date about dietary changes
- When should a child or young person be referred to a dietitian
There are a wide variety of diseases and conditions that may require referral to a dietitian. In general this is because they result one or a combination of the following:
- Poor weight gain and growth
- Higher than normal requirement for food and nutrition
- Conditions which cause poor digestion of food
- Conditions requiring changes to food intake, for example diabetes, food allergies, coeliac disease and inherited metabolic diseases
- Children who have difficulties eating and drinking food and will require tube feeding
- Children who need intravenous feeding
About the department
There are 15 dietitians at Alder Hey, supported by two secretaries and the Special Feeds Unit staff.
We work across Cardiology, Cystic Fibrosis, Diabetes, Food Allergy, Gastroenterology, Inherited Metabolic Disease, Nutrition Support, Neurology, Oncology and Renal Disease. Many inpatients require specialised infant formula and tube feeds. These need to be prepared accurately and in the clean environment of the Special Feeds Unit.
We work closely with catering and the diet cooks to provide special diets for inpatients.

His Grace intends to put the considerable weight of his Bench of Bishops behind support for gay marriage. All Welsh churches are to be made available for gay marriage ceremonies. So as not to be seen as introducing this measure by the back door, the Bench has already drawn up a gay marriage service for Wales.
David Cameron's cousin, Bishop Gregory, has hinted that if His Grace is seen by the Prime Minister to be actively promoting in Wales Conservative Big Society policy, his reward may come in a well-placed nomination for a certain job going in Canterbury at the end of the year. That will clear the path for Gregory's translation to head bishop in Wales. However, not to miss out on a sniff of promotion to the top job in Wales, John Swansea and Brecon
has been doing his bit to champion gay marriage in Wales. "I can't see what the all the fuss is about," commented Bishop John. He continued, "A careful reading of scripture clearly shows that Jesus supported gay marriage. In fact his water into wine stunt was actually performed at a gay wedding. If you look at the text in the original Greek, it doesn't say 'bride and groom', but rather 'Bridey and Groom'. Bridey is a clear reference to the far distant relative of Lord Brideshead. Groom was an ancestor of Simon Groom of Blue Peter fame. So Jesus was at the wedding of two chaps Bridey and Groom. What's the problem? If Jesus is OK with gay marriage, then so am I."
Secondly His Grace will introduce the idea of lay presidency in Wales. The recent Harries Commission has noted that across the whole of Wales on average only about 30 people attend each church for about an hour on each Sunday. That means in a given week for six days and twenty-three hours the buildings are empty. Lord Harries noted, "The concept of the priesthood is not founded on Biblical tradition. The New Testament describes the role of the bishop and deacon, but nowhere does it mention priests. So do we really need them now? When the church is strapped for cash we must ask whether we can justify employing someone in the role of priest for one hour per week to behave like a Tesco's check out girl dispensing the 'Lucky Jesus wafers'? We have to ask ourselves whether all this couldn't be done by someone from the laity." The archbishop hopes that by making lay presidency appointments in the parishes it will free up more opportunities for his priests to sit on a number of new diocesan and provincial commissions which will look at why fewer people are attending church these days.
Further support for Archbishop Barry's campaign to move to Lambeth Palace has come from Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow. Continuing the 'kaleidoscope country' theme he developed in his loyal address to the Queen as part of her Diamond Jubilee celebrations, Speaker Bercow said, "Barry Morgan is a kaleidoscope archbishop of a kaleidoscope church in a kaleidoscope country. His kaleidoscope credentials are inclusively impeccable, and he would be the ideal candidate to be the next Archbishop of Canterbury. I look forward to welcoming him to the palace of Westminster when he takes his seat in the House of Lords."

So yesterday i began to texture my environment, my plan was to atleast get 3 of the house done but didn't even manage to finish one, and this was down to the fact that I wasn't using tiling but just using the unwrap. Today I gotten alot more done and this time I did use tiling but I also was able to use the unwrap at the same time. For the texture I've basically tiled the walls and then projected the texture back onto the unwrap, this allowed me to put the texture back into photoshop and add more textures such as grime. Also for the wall I used Crazy Bump to get a normal map out of the texture to add a bit more depth to it and the walls above the brick wall (with the patterns) I model them myselfs and then projected back onto the lowpoly version in order to get the normal map from that.
Because the environment is set in the future i decided at the early stage of my pre-production that I wasn't going to make the houses seem brand new but a mixture of old and new, and that why in this texture there is a damaged wall but then there is also a door that is designed to slide open. (which also to fit the renaissance I've done a decorative pattern on the door) Still gots some more work to do on it but apart from that I'm pleased with the way its starting to turn out

The Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand – our country's national search and rescue organization – is asking Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon – also known as EPIRB – owners to check their device details are updated after responding to two beacon alerts for which they had no details.
Search and rescue helicopter crews had only a signal location for each incident when responding to two separate rescue beacon alerts from South Island mountains recently.
"We need owners of rescue beacons to register and update their personal details and those of their emergency contacts," says RCCNZ manager Mike Hill.
"It is much safer and more effective if we are able to pass on details to rescuers about how many people are in the party; whether they are hunting, fishing, climbing or whatever, and their intended route."
Two Garden City Helicopters flew to each of the locations, in the Southern Alps and inland from Kaikoura but could not glean any information from emergency contacts about what crews could expect on arrival.
Despite the lack of information, two men were successfully rescued and flown to hospital. One was a climber in a party of three with a shoulder injury who was flown to Greymouth Hospital. The other was a hunter who was taken to Christchurch Hospital with a suspected pelvis injury.
Once a rescue beacon is set off and the signal is picked up by RCCNZ, staff check whether it is registered and attempt to contact the friends or family that are listed as emergency contacts.
One of the beacons was registered with an emergency contact, but that person didn't know anything about the climbing trip the victim was on. The other had incomplete registration details with no phone number for the owner or emergency person listed.
Mike urges owners of beacons to register them properly and to regularly check the details held are accurate. And when heading out, let emergency contacts know.
"Just send a text message to let them know you are heading off, and what you have planned. Then when you get back, send another text confirming you are home safely," says Mike.
"The details we need permanently on our beacon database can be updated on the website:
www.beacons.org.nz Or email us at: firstname.lastname@example.com"
