StarMetro officially put its new route, the Rhythm, in motion with a celebratory kickoff today at City Hall. The Mayor and City Commissioners gathered with local business owners and community leaders to rideto the three districts that the service will connect: All Saints/College Town/Gaines Street, Downtown and Midtown.
The special introductory ride, titled The Rhythm in Three Movements, provided passengers with a firsthand glimpse of the many restaurants, shops and entertainment venues that Tallahassee has to offer
Rhythm route service officially begins tomorrow, September 27. Two fare-free buses, easily distinguished by their blue-toned, artfully designed exteriors, will run every 20 minutes on Fridays and Saturdays from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m.
"Our new Rhythm will offer residents fun, safe and convenient transport between several exciting nightspots and shopping areas that have become very popular," said Commissioner Nancy Miller, lead commissioner on the City's Long Range Planning Target Issue Committee. "We hope that everyone will jump aboard the Rhythm to visit these local shops and restaurants."
The Rhythm route extends from Gaines Street to Sixth Avenue. It runs along portions of Gaines Street, Madison Street, Railroad Avenue, Macomb Street, College Avenue, Adams Street, Carolina Street, North Monroe Street, Sixth Avenue and Thomasville Road.
Each of the 21 Rhythm route stops is designated by a small, rectangular sign located below other signage at an existing StarMetro bus stop. The route map, bus stop locations and other details may be found at Talgov.com/rhythm and on fliers available on each bus and at businesses along and near the route.
"To assist passengers and encourage ridership, volunteer ambassadors will be on the buses and at each stop this Friday and Saturday," StarMetro Transit Director Ivan Maldonado said. "We're encouraging everyone to 'Catch the Rhythm' and experience these vibrant parts of Tallahassee."

Project Graff
Project Graff - 0.0.8B
David Hahn (hahn)
Note: currently this runs off pygame 1.8.1.
What you need to do to run the thing:
Go to source link, get the files, and run it. You need numpy, python, and pygame--no py2exe yet for windows, sorry. Numpad moves you, bump into things to initiate combat, Scroll Lock takes pictures. See the readme for more.
What it is:
It's a Roguelike in Python. For now you can call it Project Graff. For short, you can call it PyRL if you want, although Graff is probably easier. And I think PyRL is taken by some other project, but when I made the blog's title I did not know that.
Put simply, it's my attempt at a Roguelike in python with pygame, which started as a project to help me learn python. I'm planning on deviating quite a bit from the roguelike formula later on, but for now I'm concentrating on making the standard-fare roguelike; I'll branch out later when I have the important stuff in.
Stuff to know:
Home page has more info..
Readme has more info.
Comments? Make 'em here or on the blog, I'll see them either way. Blog comments show up in my inbox though--odds are I'll see those a bit quicker if you really need to talk to me.
Quick hotfix changes: The minimap is now working; map sizes are scaled to fit within there until I get scrolling / refactor the entire Minimap class. Fixed a quick line to singificantly reduce memory usage of the overall program.

This movie sucked Jyuubi sized balls. Outside of seeing Kakshi's generation as kids and the 4th for brief minute nothing really interesting or memorable happens in this movie. There are not even any ninja to fight just lame puppet/robots which partly what makes it boring. There are no tactical fights in this movie just retarded ones!
You want a good Naruto movie watch Blood prison its a much better story.

ESCALANTE, UTAH-Virgil Pulsipher Heaton, age 83, passed away on Jan. 14, 2011, in Cedar City, Utah. She was born Dec. 22, 1927, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to John Henry and Cleone Pulsipher.
Virgil graduated in 1945 from Hurricane High School. She married Max Linden Heaton on Dec. 14, 1944, in the St. George Temple. They raised their family in Las Vegas, Nev., and Elmo, Utah. Virgil and Max were both close to their siblings so her children and their cousins spent much time together growing up.
Virgil loved to macrame, sew, and quilt. Her beautiful quilts are prized possessions of many of her family members. She loved camping and served as camp director for her LDS wards in Las Vegas and Elmo for many years. Virgil was also a member of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers. When Virgil wasn't playing games with her friends and family, she could often be found working on a jigsaw puzzle.
Virgil is survived by her husband, Max; children, David (Susan) Heaton, Elora Prettyman, all of Boulder, Utah; and Kathy (Tim) McGee of Protem, Mo.; 12 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; and sister, Beryl (Verdell) Hinton of Damascus, Ore. She was preceded in death by her parents; children, Christina, Dina, and Keith; siblings, John Vendon Pulsipher, Dalton Pulsipher, Cleone Sheffer, and Jonna Stout.
A memorial open house will be held in Virgil's honor on Jan. 29, 2011, from 1-3 p.m. at the Boulder LDS Church in Boulder, Utah. Burial will be in the Elmo Town Cemetery.
Family and friends are invited to share memories and condolences on-line at www.serenicare.com. Arrangements are made under the direction of SereniCare Funeral Home, St. George, 986-2085.

Commercial table egg and turkey meat production are important agricultural commodities for the state of Utah. The gross economic value of the Utah egg industry is at least $140 million annually, and there are over 85 million lbs. of retail turkey product produced each year. Utah also possesses a modest commercial game bird hunting preserve business and is home to one of the largest breeder/multiplier game bird operations west of the Mississippi River. The modern methods of commercial poultry and game bird production require ability to know and apply the latest technology. In recent years, there has been an upsurge in people interested in owning a small group of poultry at home. This has increased the need for education in proper care and management of small flock poultry-keeping as well as emphasizing awareness of appropriate disease prevention practices to keep not only their own birds healthy, but to protect the economically important commercial poultry industry from contracting potentially devastating disease.

"I am very petite--5'2" and about 90-ish lbs--and it is always very difficult for me to find tall boots that are not huge around my calves. These fit wonderfully around my skinny calves and look very sleek and work well with dresses, skirts, and jeans. I like that they come right below my knee and that the heel is high but very comfortable to walk in. These boots are well worth the investment."

Beautiful pair of luxury boots
"I love them definitely. Agree that they are a bit narrow and suggest that should go up half size for safe and more comfortable although I have no problem to put them on at all (my size 6.5). I'm sure after couple of times wearing them will make the leather softer a little bit. Light weight and good quality leather... Luxury with high waist skinny jeans and biker leather jackets."

European Atlas of Environmental Change and Climate Communities shows impact of global warming seen from space
The view from space showing the impact of global warming in a European Atlas of Environmental Change and Climate Communities
Copenhagen 13 December - The rapidly changing environment of parts of Europe is chronicled in a new atlas of change, launched today by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). The significance of global warming and its alterations in Europe's climate and economy are vividly depicted via 'before-and-after' satellite imagery. At the same time, the Atlas provides an important opportunity to show some positive environmental changes thanks to community initiatives on the ground, emphasising the importance of local action to combat climate change.
One of the 15 sites analysed was in Dedoplistskaro, eastern Georgia. The drying out of agricultural fields due partially to the destruction of previously existing windbreaks after the Communist era, along with real local changes (increased temperature and decreased precipitation in recent decades) is being countered by the replanting of saplings to restore the windbreaks and modified agricultural practices. The changes in the landscape can be seen in a pair of images taken nearly twenty years apart (1986 and 2009).
Based on UNEP's concept of the "Atlas of our changing environment", the images compiled here tell the stories: there are few more powerful ways of communicating about change happening on the earth's surface and related problems to human well-being and economy, than the view from space showing vast changes taking place in various landscapes, accompanied by photos at ground level to illustrate what are the (frequently negative) impacts on ecosystems, human beings and their livelihoods; indeed, impacts that are literally changing peoples' ways of living.
"Before and after satellite images provide scientifically provocative evidence of environmental change sweeping across the planet. Similar atlases have been produced by UNEP and partners for the globe, for Africa and for individual countries there. These products are already catalyzing debate and action. UNEP believes that the new atlas can do the same for Europe, providing a trigger for reflection, policy change and action among governments by framing the kind of discussion that a tower of documents can never hope to achieve", commented Achim Steiner, UNEP Executive Director.
The stories in the Atlas describe one site in detail for each of the 15 chosen countries. Where possible, the effects of the community initiatives are shown by satellite images over a longer period of time, supported by images showing environmentally-relevant land cover change in that country. A web application will be released which will allow users to interact with the information and give them the opportunity to access more underlying data. The European Space Agency, as well as SPOT-Image and the "Planet Action" Initiative, provided multi-temporal images for many of the scenes portrayed on the DVD.
To access the Atlas:
On Sunday 13 December at 5:45pm, the Atlas will be launched at a side event in Copenhagen in the presence of Dr. Jacqueline McGlade, Executive Director of EEA; Angela Cropper, Deputy Executive Director, UNEP and Dr. Volker Liebig, Director of Earth Observation, ESA.
The launch will take place at the Kongelige Theater (Stærekassen Tordenskjoldsgade 5
1017 Copenhagen - next to Royal Theater).

I think that baby showers are one of the best inventions ever. Okay, the microwave is pretty impressive, too. I just love the thought of a party celebrating you and your baby. Not to mention the gifts you'll be showered with.
A celebration of the coming baby is a modern evolution of ancient rituals held to mark the birth of a new member of the community. In earlier eras, these ritual celebrations were held after the baby was born. I've noticed more women having post-delivery showers today, too, especially if the sex of the baby is a mystery.
First-time moms are the usual recipients of a baby shower. I've also been hearing about parties called sprinkles for women who already have children. Why should the first-timers get all the fun?
Of course, the gifts from a baby shower — or sprinkle — help ease the financial burden of having a baby. Babies need plenty of gear, and that gear can be expensive!
Still, I think there's a deeper meaning in baby showers. Giving gifts is a way to help the soon-to-be mom transition into parenthood. Baby showers also provide a time to share collective knowledge and wisdom on pregnancy, childbirth and babies. Just don't believe everything you hear!
I do wonder, though, if you can have too many baby showers. What's your take?
Mary M. Murry, R.N., C.N.M.
Selecting "Submit" signifies that you have read and agree to our posting guidelines.
I, personally, don't like the idea of having a shower after the baby is born. I've been to too many showers where all the gifts are just cutsey gender-specific gifts and hardly any necessities. We know the gender of our baby but are keeping it a secret for exactly this reason. Since it's our first baby, we want to be sure to get the items we'll actually need, not just gender-specific items. It's also nice to be able to re-use items if another baby down the road is the other gender. And, finally, I think that monogrammed items are a waste of money. Sure, they're cute while they last (for maybe a month or two in the case of clothes) but then their use is done and they can't be reused for future siblings.
I am British and feel that baby showers are far more appropriate after a baby is born. Not all babies are delivered safely or without problems. I find the whole idea of having a party 'to score' presents somewhat distasteful and the Americanization with too much hoopla is not necessarily to be encouraged.
True babies are expensive but is a baby shower going to really make any significant impact to the financial responsibility of a child for many years?
Baby showers after a baby is born and asking friends to donate to March of Dimes or like organization or to get together with $10 limit each if they want to bring a gift is perhaps more thoughtful by the new mother and may be really appreciated by girl friends who are tired of always being asked but do not have children.
Maybe you mothers who want the fancy baby showers should get together and throw a thank you party for the no kid aunties.
I have children in case you are wondering.
I'd like to point out that baby showers/blessings/etc. are great -- if that is what you want. Personally, I'm getting pretty tired of people trying to forcibly throw me showers or celebrations. It just isn't my thing. So my two cents is ask the parents-to-be what they want and don't make assumptions.
I think it's wonderful to celebrate life's meaningful milestones, including the birth of a first/subsequent child, with a gathering/party/blessing.
I think, however, that gifts shouldn't be expected after the first child...and it should be overtly stated as such.
So many life celebrations have been made commercial and material. I find the idea of registries for second/later children - and for marriages of anyone over the age of 30, for that matter - a bit gauche. Not to mention the latest fad - 'push' presents for women giving birth.
Many women in my community mark and celebrate their transitions into motherhood with a blessing way rather than, or in addition to, a baby shower. Blessing ways focus on nurturing moms-to-be emotionally and spiritually. Baby showers are generally baby and gift focused, while blessing ways are all about supporting and celebrate moms. I am a birth doula, and have often seen the immediate and long term benefits of blessing ways for my clients -- moms need down to earth communities of women with whom they can share their fears and joys, and from whom they can seek help on occasion. I love blessing ways!

The dynamic and muscular shape of the hammerhead shark is a key feature in the dance masks created by Ken Thaiday Snr. It is an important cultural symbol to the people of the eastern Torres Strait Islands and is the artist's key totemic animal.
Although based on historical Torres Strait Islander dance masks, Thaiday Snr has adapted the use of lightweight contemporary materials in his works to further extend his creativity, while maintaining his strong sense of artistic identity. Constructed to sit on the dancer's shoulders and chest, with the upper shark protruding high above the dancer's head, the ingenious feature of the pulleys manipulates sections of the mask, mimicking the shark's movements while swimming and eating. The feathers surrounding the shark's mouth evoke water spray, created by the shark during its feeding frenzy.
Although constructed primarily for the public artistic domain, the cultural significance and dynamism of a major ancestral totem of the Torres Strait is evident. TB

Giles Kime - Sunday Telegraph 08/06/2014
"In summer, a chilled glass of lightly sweet champagne or sparkling wine makes a great match for puddings. This is a delicious inexpensive example of the style, and has crisp fruit flavours."
In 1551, Jaume Codorníu began making still wines in Penedès, Spain. In 1872, having studied the 'champenoise method' of sparkling wine production in Northern France, Josep Raventós, a descendant of Codorníu, applied the technique to the traditional Penedès grape varieties of Macabeo, Parellada & Xarel.Lo and created the first bottle of Cava. Today Codorníu is an award-winning winery with the best selling Cava brand in the UK and back home in Spain.
Bruno Colomer Marti
The grapes used in making Tesco Cava Demi Sec come mainly from the area with the most Mediterranean climate in D.O. Cava, where local varieties exhibit their authentic character.

Exchange Student - German exchange student Anouk Elias made a lasting impression on her teachers and fellow students at Middletown High School. While her European perspective was giving her classmates a broader view of the world, she grew to appreciate the more personal teacher-student dynamic found in American schools, the different types of classes offered, and the inclusion of all students in the classroom, including those with special needs. Irvington High School teacher John Amberg and his family helped to make Anouk's exchange year possible by hosting her during her time in the U.S.
White Out Bullying - Watchung Hills Regional High School stages a "White Out Against Bullying" Day in solidarity against bullying and intolerance. The students are asking the community to join them by wearing white, and ultimately they hope to make this a national event. Over the last few years, the school has won state and national recognition for their anti-bullying efforts. Assemblyman Jon Bramnick, R-Somerset, Morris, joins the students for an assembly and a more intimate classroom discussion.
Write Type of Mentor - Even professional writers know the value of finding the right writing mentor. 2012-2013 Passaic County Teacher of the Year Mary Duffy and her colleague at West Milford's Marshall Hill Elementary School help their second grade students find the "write" type of writing mentor from among the fifth-grade students. For their efforts they won grant money to implement their program which is designed to empower their students as authors.
Consumer Bowl - For the third year in a row, Irvington High School has won the State Consumer Bowl Championship. The competition is run by the Attorney General Division of Consumer Affairs, and it is designed to educate teenagers about consumer issues that they may face in the future. Consumer Affairs informs teen-consumers about what to expect in the marketplace, what their rights are and how to successfully obtain the goods and services they require. See the Irvington team in action at the Essex County competition.
Clean Communities –Each year NJ Clean Community host a beach cleanup with nearly 500 students from around the state. The students converge on Ocean City to not only clean up the beaches, but also to study the effects of natural disasters on the environment. Classroom Close-up follows teachers Maria Johnson of Gordon Parks Academy in East Orange and Jill Baturin of Williamstown School in Gloucester and their students during a beautiful day at the beach.
Outdoor Classroom - As part of a cross curricular project, students from several different classes are designing and constructing an outdoor classroom. The carpentry, CAD, environmental science, art, architectural design and television classes all collaborated on this project. The environmental science students wrote a grant and were awarded $10,000 from Lowes to build the outdoor classroom and native plant arboretum. The NJ Pinelands and Atlantic County Soil Conservation worked with students in the design and site analysis. The students are also tagging plants that can be scanned with an iPhone to bring up the plant type/botanical name and use.
Ecolancers - Livingston High School is the only New Jersey high school team competing in the international Shell Eco-marathon competition. The Ecolancers are a group of Technology and Design students who have been challenged to design and develop a vehicle that would get over 1000 miles per gallon. The team reflects the high level education New Jersey schools provide students and how the teachers of Livingston High School are preparing students for STEM-related careers. All aspects of the design and the procurement and fabrication of parts have been completed by the students.
Earth & Space Science - The Paterson Great Falls is not only a tourist attraction; it is also a great place for students to learn first-hand how to solve real life problems. Ahmed Salama, trigonometry teacher at the PANTHER Academy, shows students how to measure the height of the falls by using trigonometric functions and Parallax. The students then visit the planetarium to demonstrate how they use parallax to measure the distance from us to other planetary objects. The school was formerly associated with NASA; and they hope to regain their relationship once more so they can allow students more opportunities.
Eat 4 Peace - Students at Loring-Flemming Elementary School in Gloucester Township take pride in the diversity of their school, their community, and within their own families. Students study their cultural heritage and share what they've learned by creating posters and preparing a traditional cultural dish that they then share with their classmates. The idea came from Tony Luke, local restaurateur and childhood friend of teacher Amy Goldberg. While, in Dubai, Tony learned that sharing food is a way of breaking down the stereotypes and the prejudice. And Amy brought that lesson into her classroom.
Local Historian - Mahwah High School history teacher Yvonne Beatrice is encouraging her students to act as historians of their town. The Mahwah project requires students to investigate the town by reading its history, visiting historic homes and landmarks, touring cemeteries, locating slave graves, interviewing longtime residents and attending township meetings and municipal court. The teacher was names the 2012 NJ DAR Outstanding Teacher of American History and the 2010 NJ State Preserve American History Teacher of the Year by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.

Art & Literacy at Princeton - At Elms Elementary School, art teacher Trevor Bryan and several literacy teachers align their teaching approaches to take advantage of the similar skills needed to interpret both artwork and written texts. The students from Jackson are able to practice these skills during a visit to the Princeton University Art Museum where they interpret sculptures and paintings through discussion and writing exercises.
Wanda's World - Park Ridge Middle and High School combines the lessons of musical theater with lessons about bullying, exclusion and self-confidence through the performance of Wanda's World. This musical is the result of creative thinking by vocal music teacher Brandon Langer and theater teacher Stephanie Buckley. When 94 students, half of the middle school's student body, requested vocal music, Brandon and Stephanie came up with a creative idea of a music theater course, but they had no funding. So the Park Ridge Education Foundation, a parents' organization, provided the financing for the rights to a production as well as the other costs associated with staging a musical (microphone rentals, costumes, properties, etc.) As a result, the culmination of the course is a 90-minute musical called Wanda's World.
Jackson STEM Academy - This year the Jackson School District is launching a new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Academy. This four-year program allows students to choose from three college pathways: Life and Biomedical Sciences; Physical Sciences, Computer Science and Engineering.

Autism Project - Future educators at Cranford High School are providing resources for teachers and parents about the autism spectrum. Teacher Barbara Narus is the adviser for the Future Educators Association at the school and in addition to providing real insight into the teaching profession, her student research important topics that they determine can impact parents and teachers. This student-driven club brings in special speakers and plans field trips. As part of the Autism Project, the students compiled resources that are housed in the school library. They also conduct workshops for teachers, parents and community groups.

The organization provides the artist, and an NJEA Pride grant pays for the materials for the instruments and other items.
Peacemakers - Elementary educators believe that teaching children at a young age to deal with conflict can positively change the way they deal with it later in life. At North Boulevard Elementary School in Pequannock Township, Yvette McBain (Morris County Teacher of the Year) has developed a peer mediation program whose theme is "A Bridge to Success," which includes the 1st through 3rd grade Peacemakers, and the 4th and 5th grade Heart Club peer mediators.
Squan-a-Thon – At Manasquan High School, nearly 300 students and educators take part in the "Squan-a-Thon". The event aims to raise more than $40,000 to assist children afflicted with cancer. On the surface, the event functions as a dance marathon requiring that each student stay up all night. On a deeper level, this challenge intends to foster a sense of empathy and concern for the hardships of others among the student body.

The school year ended with the roar of an engine at Emery High. Studentbody president, Shala Pitchforth has been building the excitement for the end of year assembly throughout the school year. The main attraction was the car giveaway. Pitchforth gathered prizes from local businesses and these were also given away. Pitchforth wanted to do the Keys to Success program at the school where students are rewarded for positive actions and accomplishments.
The students received tickets for getting good grades, kind acts, participating in activities and other positive actions. All of the tickets were gathered in a barrel.
Ten tickets were drawn out of the barrel and taped to a table. These 10 names would get the opportunity to draw out a key which would or would not start the car.
The car was a 2002 Crysler Sebring, convertible with 57,000 miles and valued from $6-12,000. The car was donated by Troy Huntsman of Huntsman Motors. He was on hand at at the assembly to watch the action.
The student council raised enough money to pay the taxes, license and registration fees for the lucky winner. Each of the people whose name had been drawn picked a key and tried to start the car.
One after the other the keys didn't start the car. One of the names drawn wasn't present so another ticket was drawn. The name on this ticket was Shaylie Huntingon and her key was the lucky one and the car engine roared to life. One of the girls holding a key, sold the key back to Neal Peacock for $550. He was offering her $450 and Huntsman sweetened the pot with another $100. It so happens this key holder had just bought a car not long ago so the cash in hand held a greater appeal. Peacock recognized Pitchforth for having the idea and making all the contacts to make the car giveaway a reality.
The other prizes weren't to be sneezed at either and included personal DVD players, walkie-talkies, stereos and tons of others. To win the prizes their names were drawn out of the barrel and they participated in contests which included tasting and identifying baby food and answering questions.
Other major prize contributors included: Emery Telcom, Desertview Federal Credit Union and Consol Mining.

The Museum of the San Rafael has been a busy place of late. There is a roof project going on at the present time. Swapp Roofing of Fairview is completing that project.
Janet Petersen is retiring as the museum director. She retired from the county in 1999 and went to work at the museum. She has been instrumental in acquiring many traveling exhibits for the museum and working on the permanent displays. One project she is particularly proud of is the mural painted by local artist Clifford Oviatt. She likes the many stuffed animals on display at the museum. The museum has been a labor of love for Petersen these last few years. She intends to stay involved with the museum and will remain on the board along with: Dixon Peacock who is a lifetime honorary member of the board, Ramal Jones, Pete Jones, Mervin Miles, Kent Petersen, Clifford Oviatt, Dawnette Tuttle, Commissioner Jeff Horrocks, Clyde Thompson and Christine Jensen.
Petersen said former board members Randy and Vicki Jensen have been very supportive as well. "All the board members who have served have just been wonderful. To begin with we were an all volunteer museum," said Petersen.
The museum was owned by Castle Dale City. The county took over the operation of the museum in 2003, before that time the county partnered with Castle Dale City to help with expenses. A reception was given at the museum for Petersen to wish her well in her retirement from the museum.
Another project, Oviatt completed for the museum was the painting and installation of a new sign. The Museum of San Rafael sign had faded over the years and Oviatt painted a bright new sign welcoming visitors to the museum. The sign was completed with grant money from the state museum board.

Comfortable from Day 1 - no blisters ever
"I bought these shortly before a trip to Paris in a darker gray with pink accents. They were perfect for all the walking we did. Not once did I get a blister or have sore feet or legs. I would normally take a 9-9.5 W in other brands but I've discovered that 9.5 medium width is sufficient in Adidas and am sticking with them. I've continued to wear them for the last year and a half."

Debate with President Gerald Ford (Foreign and Defense Issues) (October 6, 1976) Jimmy Carter JFK debate with Richard Nixon in Chicago, September 26, 1960 Get Flash to see this player. The first of three presidential debates is set for one week from today at the University of Denver (a fourth debate is scheduled between the vice presidential candidates). As we reported in last week's Friday Roundup, the first debate will focus largely on the economy, with three of the six fifteen-minute segments dedicated to the economy, while the other three will focus on "health care," "the role of government," and "governing." Will these debates really matter for the outcome in November? Probably not. But, at least a third of American households will tune in to root on their candidate. As it happens, I've been reading a terrific new book just released this month – The Timeline of Presidential Elections by Robert S. Erikson and Christopher Wlezien – that delves into the elements of the presidential campaign timeline that matter for changing preferences in the aggregate vote. Using aggregate polling data, the authors document that voter intentions do change over the course of presidential campaigns. However, voter preferences are more volatile in some election years than others. Not surprisingly, party conventions play a major role in shuffling the electorate's vote choices and it is around convention time that voter preferences are the most volatile. Conventions thus do a good job of getting voter's attention sufficiently enough to change minds. But preferences harden nearly every year following the party conventions, with fewer voters changing their minds in the fall general campaign season. Following the conventions, the next big campaign event is usually the presidential debates. Unlike conventions, however, numerous political scientists have shown that the presidential debates do not matter and do not change voter preferences. Detailed studies of individual debates show that, at most, polls swing only one to three points in some of the more salient debates where one of the candidates out-performs the other, such as the 1980 debate between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan (two points for Reagan, who was already in the lead); the 1988 debate between George H.W. Bush and Michael Dukakis (one point to Bush, who was already in the lead); the 1992 debate between Bush and Bill Clinton (probably cost Bush two points); and Al Gore's endless signing in the debate with George W. Bush (about two to three points to Bush). Of these, the only debate that could have been consequential to the election outcome was the Gore v. Bush debate. As Erikson and Wlezien point out, many commentators point to debates that are the exception to this rule. For example, the commentariate has perpetuated the argument that John F. Kennedy would not have been able to win the election in 1960 without his performances in the presidential debates. While the 1960 debates, which were the first in televised history or otherwise, drew the largest audience in the history of debates – about 60% of American households tuned in –polling evidence is not available to show that the debates in fact shifted the electorate's preferences. Commentators also cite gaffes during presidential debates as causing shifts in voter preferences. One of the most memorable is when President Gerald Ford said during the 1976 presidential debate on foreign policy with Jimmy Carter that, "There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe, and there never will be under a Ford administration." When Max Frankel of the New York Times incredulously followed up on the statement, President Ford refused to back down from his comments: I don't believe, Mr. Frankel, that the Yugoslavians consider themselves dominated by the Soviet Union. I don't believe that the Romanians consider themselves dominated by the Soviet Union. I don't believe that the Poles consider themselves dominated by the Soviet Union. Each of those countries is independent, autonomous; it has its own territorial integrity. And the United States does not concede that those countries are under the domination of the Soviet Union. The comments haunted him for the rest of the campaign. But aggregate level polls also show that voters decreasingly preferred Carter during the fall general campaign season, so the gaffe couldn't have done all that much harm for Ford's campaign. Erikson and Wlezien show that across the ten elections with presidential debates from 1960-2008, voter intentions the week before and the week after the debate closely matched. Excluding the 1976 election, in which Carter's lead dropped steadily throughout the fall, "the best prediction from the debates is the initial verdict before the debates." However, while the debates do not matter as much as the party conventions, it's not clear whether they matter more than other events in the general campaign. They also assert that evidence from the debates is fragile. Voters aren't likely to learn anything new in the debates, and even if their candidate doesn't perform well, they aren't likely to change their mind. This is due in part to the fact that those most likely to tune in are already politically engaged. However, the debates will make for excellent political theater and fodder for the commentariate. We'll be making our own contributions here at Riding the Tiger, including an entry from presidential scholar Michael Nelson, as well as post-debate analysis.

A while back in the Emery County Progress, Judi Bishop mentioned a little girl by the name of "Cathy" Gardner. Let me tell you more about her. You see, she was our little girl, Kathryn Beth Gardner. She was 7 years old when she was diagnosed with leukemia and was given four to five weeks to live. The people of Carbon and Emery counties were so very kind to her. She had acute lympathus leukemia and spent a lot of time in the hospital. We kept her for 17 months, not four or five weeks. During this time she had over 50 blood transfusions. I would watch the doctors and nurses walk out of her room shedding tears because they couldn't put the needle in her veins - again. They didn't have all the drugs to help leukemia patients in the 1950s like they have now, and the few they did have would kill the good cells as well as the bad. There was only one drug they could use and so she had to have blood transfusions.
Even with her problem, I never thought I would have cancer. A doctor asked me later if I had any history of cancer in my family and I told him "No."
My family consisted of two sisters and myself. My older sister always worried for fear she would get cancer, but she didn't have any checkups with her doctor. Then in 1994, I lost her to a quick-growing cancer. My younger sister developed Guilliam Barre (known as French Polio) which paralyzed her diaphragm. This was one of a very few visits she had ever made to a doctor in her life. In 1997 she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She went into the hospital and we lost her in less than two weeks to this cancer. This left me the only survivor in my family.
Not long after my younger sister passed away, I received a letter from the University of Utah Oncology Department inviting me to be a part of a cancer screening trial that the National Cancer Institute was conducting. The name was PLOC- prostate, lung, ovarian and colorectal. There would be tests for these different types of cancer. Once a year for five years I was to go to the University of Utah Hospital and be screened for the applicable cancers that would concern me. Then for nine more years I will fill out a questionnaire.
I felt that I owed it to my sisters and my daughter to accept this offer and maybe it would help someone else. I still wasn't going to have cancer. After the screening I was told that I had some polyps in my colon and was advised to see my doctor.
I had my first colonoscopy in 1999, but because of side effects of medication that I was taking, the tests didn't show anything clearly. The next year, April 5, 2000, I had my second colonoscopy and still I was sure I didn't have cancer.
However, because of a very aware doctor, I was operated on the very next day for colon cancer.
It has now been five years since I had my surgery and the doctors tell me that they have found no more signs of cancer.
Knowing all this, I plead with all of you to have the tests your doctor recommends and have them regularly, just as I do. I feel truly blessed for having survived for five years now and I thank my Heavenly Father for giving me a chance to stay around longer than my sisters were able to. The people who work with you through this are just wonderful. They really care about you and I will be eternally grateful for their help and acts of kindness. And also the special help my family and friends gave to me.
Please, get your checkups on a regular basis. That is the best advice I can give to anyone.

Courage-award winner inspired by son
Nouha Hreish was very surprised when she received the Farmers & Merchants Bank's Women of Courage Awards recently. It's an annual recognition program celebrating women in Orange County who have displayed courage, tenacity and wisdom in making a lasting difference in their businesses and community.
"I was deeply touched that Farmers & Merchants Bank chose to give me this high honor," said Hreish. "When they told me I had won, I actually thought they were kidding."
Hreish, a mother of three and owner of Noal Jewelry Designs in Huntington Beach, is a self-confessed megavolunteer.
"We've been in the area for 30 years, and I have devoted myself to helping women and children locally and globally," said Hreish.
She lists a number of groups she's passionate about: Soroptimist, Kiwanis, Orange Coast Memorial Hospital, and Interval House.
"I am so grateful that we are in a position to be able to give back to a community that has given us so much," said the native of Lebanon who became an American citizen more than a decade ago.
You'll find Hreish chairing Clothe the Children every year.
"It's part of what I do in the Kiwanis Club of Huntington Beach," said Hreish.
This year, Clothe the Children is set for Saturday at the Huntington Beach Walmart.
"Each child shops with a volunteer adult and can choose $100 worth of clothes," said Hreish. "It's amazing to see the smiles of both children and adults on this day, and it is an emotional experience each and every time."
Hreish says they'll take 130 children from the local Salvation Army on the holiday shopping spree.
Through the Kiwanis Club and the City of Huntington Beach, Hreish and her son Joe (she says everyone calls him "Big Joe") go on a fishing trip for close to 200 children at Chris Carr Park in Huntington Beach.
"We help out any way we can and provide them all with a special lunch afterward," said Hreish. "My son Joe is right there helping out wherever he's needed."
Hreish says Big Joe is an amazing and inspirational young man with a learning disability, and he is the reason she is inspired to do all the things she does in her community and around the world.
"Joe gave me this gift," said Hreish. "He has a huge heart and makes friends with everyone."
When she isn't volunteering, Hresh runs the family jewelry store. Her husband, Albert, was a fourth-generation jewelry manufacturer and jeweler. The couple traveled around the world and enjoyed many trips to Italy, where they did their jewelry buying.
Hreish says she is beyond busy, but there is something she hasn't yet done.
"My dream is to one day have lunch with the president of the United States," said Hreish. "This is something I have always wanted to do since I came to the United States."
If you're interested in learning more about Clothe the Children, call Nouha Hreish at 714-840-5558.

Hi Rick. Could you please snap a picture of the correct wiring for the relay?Will
Rick, do you have any idea how much current that relay draws when it's in its quiescent (off) state? Could your box last for, say, 6 months as long as the buttons weren't pushed?Also, you mentioned the ability to use the button as both a power switch and an input to the Arduino, but I gather the circuit you share above doesn't show the latter? If you wanted to add this, I guess you'd just connect the relay pin 1 line (from the button) to an Arduino digital input?Thanks! This is good stuff.Mikal
BTW: Thanks for the tinyGPS library! I used it in this box
One last question. (I'd really like to try that relay solution.) What species diode is that that you use to clamp against polarity reversals in the TQ2SA.Mikal

|In response to Re: Cannot locate main water shutoff valve to house
: Hello, my parents just bought their first house, and we can't seem to find the water shutoff anywhere. We asked the previous owners, and they said it's in the alley behind our backyard. Well I went back there only to find the city main valve that requires a special tool only they have to turn it off. We have a leaky shutoff valve under our kitchen sink that needs replacing, but we can't until we find the gate or ball valve that turns it off. Should we call the city or a plumber to help us find the valve? It scares us that if something breaks, we have no way to turn the water off. It is an older home (1947), and so is it possible there is no other valve besides the city main? Thanks in advance for your input.

Posted on 06/15/2013 9:59:32 AM PDT by SunkenCiv
The study, led by Caleb Everett, associate professor of anthropology in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Miami, reveals that languages containing ejective consonants are spoken mainly in regions of high elevation. Ejectives are sounds produced with an intensive burst of air. The findings also indicate that as elevation increases, so does the likelihood of languages with ejectives.
"Ejectives are produced by creating a pocket of air in the pharynx then compressing it." Everett says. "Since air pressure decreases with altitude and it takes less effort to compress less dense air, I speculate that it's easier to produce these sounds at high altitude."
When heard, the ejective sounds much like an abrupt, intense "k" sound produced from the back of the palette. Many of these sounds can be heard, for example, in the K'iche Mayan language of the central highlands of Guatemala.
To conduct the study, Everett analyzed the locations of 600 representative languages out of the total of 7,000 languages of the world. Ninety two of them exhibited ejectives. He utilized the World Atlas of Linguistic Structuresthe most comprehensive survey of linguistic sounds. Everett imported the coordinates of these languages into the geographic software of Google Earth and ArcGIS v. 10.0, then superimposed the locations of these sound systems on the world's landscape to analyze the patterns. He found that they occured in five of the six major high altitude regions on earth where people live. The only region where languages with ejectives are absent is the large Tibetan plateau and the adjacent areas. The people of this region, according to Everett, are thought to have a unique adaptation to high altitude that may explain this.
Everett is now studying other correlations between geography and the way language is spoken.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.
I had no idea.
also yodeling
Well.... that explains Denver.
I suspect that the lower the elevation, the easier survival is, therefore lower-elevation cultures don't have to work as hard at staying alive.
At higher elevations there isn't as much food simply growing on trees, so you have to work harder and interact and cooperate with your neighbors in more sophisticated ways, which requires a more sophisticated language.
However, nearly all languages feature edverbs, e.g. want-ed, need-ed, etc...
The range of sounds made by Neandertal is now said to have been different; for (perhaps) most of the past 2 million years the ocean level has been hundreds of feet lower and the higher altitudes covered with glaciers.
And the men were even worse.
Caleb Everett, associate professor of anthropology in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Miami
I wonder how many millions in grant money he received from "Porkulous#I to enable completion of this study???
(Maybe it was a byproduct of an earlier global warming alert, and smart folks listened to their governments and moved to higher ground!)
A great deal of research grant money comes from private sources. I'd never assume the government is paying for non-defense related research. Some maybe but not all.
Of course the two most important issues that need to be addressed are: are languages with ejectives threatened by global warming? and do speakers of these languages qualify for affirmative action?
Yes, this is why Monsieur Pujol, (a.k.a. Monsieur Lepetomane) had his performances in Paris (Altitude 114 feet).
This in turn produces less muscular and ligament downward pull upon the chest and throat of the female.
This correlatively evokes external stimuli, resulting in the emotive response from the mountain males` back-of-palate vocal contiguum of an aspirative "wh" sound followed by an ejective abrupt, intense "k" sound produced from the back of the palette commonly heard over and over again, in the mountains by university researchers and recorded on instruments as "WHat a racK!".

How do they know what Neanderthal sounds like?
Human population tends to be lower altitude — of the approximately 7 billion people, over 90 percent live at or under 1000 feet elevation. In the US that may have started to tip lower, because of the areas around Phoenix and Denver, and Phoenix isn't all that much higher than 1000 feet.
For a long time, as you probably remember, it was denied that Neandertal could even speak; the obnoxious godfather of mtDNA even claimed that speech lived on mtDNA, and that Neandertal died out as a "village idiot" which couldn't speak.
That was so obnoxious, he should have been suspended and brought up on a tenure hearing, and if not fired then censured or forced into retirement. He wound up dying of cancer.
The Neandertal Enigma"Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]
