One artist is asking a simple, compelling question to those living with chronic illnesses: What does your nightstand say about you?
Through the online photo series The Nightstand Collective, Washington-based artist, writer and producer Emma Jones uncovers what it's like to live with a chronic illness by curating anonymously submitted photos of nightstands.
The series serves as a way for the chronic illness community to connect with each other and a way to empower them to share their experiences.
For many people living with chronic illnesses, severe symptoms require spending a lot of time in bed. Nightstands become intimate spaces where they keep essential items for easy access.
"Only a few people see your nightstand," Jones says. "It becomes a really intimate portrait that reflects our vulnerabilities, hopes and dreams. It can reveal what keeps us up at night and what we do to comfort ourselves."
The site runs entirely off submissions from the chronic illness community. Jones' only rule is that participants can't alter their nightstands at all before snapping a photo. She wants to get to the heart of the unedited, raw experience of chronic illness.
"It becomes a really intimate portrait that reflects our vulnerabilities, hopes and dreams."
Each image's caption shares the photographer's illness, along with a list of every item on the nightstand. The result is a collection of individualized stories, offering a glimpse into how each person's experience with chronic illness converges with their life.
Jones' own experience living with multiple chronic illnesses including endometriosis, asthma, autoimmune thyroiditis, depression and anxiety inspired The Nightstand Collective. She needed to spend a lot of time in bed, which quickly isolated her from what she says used to be a "vibrant life."
"My nightstand was a reflection of all the things that I was trying to use to navigate my new reality," she says. "In many ways my life had contracted, but if I looked at my nightstand I could see all the ways that I had grown and expanded."
Jones' own nightstand is usually overflowing with tissues, books, notebooks, health aids and other healing objects. She fills the simple piece of furniture with these necessities and comforts, transforming it into what she calls the most intimate part of her home.
"I spent my time wondering what other people had on their nightstands, what their coping methods were, what they were reading and what were they reaching for to provide some connection to a wider world," Jones says. "Just thinking about that made me feel a sense of community throughout a very isolating experience."
By documenting the nightstands that often hold items people "need for survival," Jones says she hopes to grant a more comprehensive view of chronic illness.
"Stories heal us," she says. "Both processing our own and hearing other people's."

Meet Lady Emily. She is a wonderful dog and has a great disposition. The vet agreed that she certainly doesn't look 10 years old (except a little greying on her muzzle). She loves riding in the car and seems very calm and pleasant when meeting strangers. She is a certified therapy dog. Her previous owner took her to library reading program to read with children. She loves men and women. She has been a little shy around foster mom's cat. Initially not even making eye contact with her and leaving her food bowl the cat approached. She is great with other dogs and will sometimes engage the younger dogs in a game of chase. She does seem to prefer to go out on a leash than to use the dog door. But she is using the dog door without encouragement in the last few days. Emily apparently wasn't into the whole 'obedience' game. But how many bassets are? She may utilize the old selective hearing if you start saying things like 'sit' or 'stay', but she is such a pleasant walker on the leash. The first few nights at her foster home, Emily slept in an open crate, by her own choice. But she has been sneaking up and sleeping on the foot of the bed for the last few nights. That's more of a basset style Miss Emily. Doesn't this lovely young lady sound like the perfect companion. Called and inquire about her today. 09/23/15
To apply online or to see other available basset hounds, go to www.cbhr.com.

Brain Surgeons Frolicking, Plus Gypsy Rights and Dowsing for Mugabe
★ ★ ★ ★!
Who Thinks These Things Up? Brain surgery is always a hassle for doctors, what with having to remove the top of the skull and set it aside while they operate. Wouldn't it be simpler to get into the brain via . . your eye socket? Aiiggggghhhhhh! Actually, it was foregone that they'd come up with this . . after a previous short cut to the brain through the nose! Unhhhhhhh! [ed.: They're just playing with us, aren't they?] Science Daily
Watch Jane Watch Squirrels, for 2,000 Hours: We know (famously) that male Cape ground squirrels masturbate. Researcher Jane Waterman wanted more. Went to Namibia, put in 2,000 hours, concluded that they did not yank it for typical reasons (e.g., excessive horniness, or to push fresh sperm to front of the queue). After thinking long and hard, she hypothesizes that they do it mainly to clean the organ from potential STDs. DiscoverMagazine.com
Backyard Etiquette: Two service workers in suburban St. Louis got a dressing down because they nonchalantly grabbed a roll of toilet paper and took a dump beside a shed in the back yard of the customer, who was aghast. Their supervisor apologized, but the dumpers' nonchalance was startling, i.e., is this normal for yard workers? (Bonus: Austin Purifoy, 19, got probation in Las Cruces, N.Mex., for using a car's interior as a crapper and then expressed shock when caught by the car's owner, i.e., you mean, he said, this is not Desiree's car?) (Double Bonus: Reporter Ashley Meeks apparently was not the least bit curious why it might be normal to poop in one's girlfriend's car.) KSDK-TV (St. Louis) /// Las Cruces Sun-News
Who Says California Isn't Governable? True, the pitiful legislature can't pass a budget, and soon, literally, the state'll be out of money (IOUs for salaries!), but the senators and Assembly members recently brought to vote: (1) naming a cusswords-free week, (2) voting a "Motorcycle Awareness Month," and (3) banning non-California cows from California promotional materials. One senator's big, big issue: For God's sake, we need to change the state rock (a "big" issue guaranteed to make absolutely no Californian's life better). Wall Street Journal
The Continued Attempt to Make British Society Perfect: The Equality Act, expanding the good and the righteous, now includes such things as rights for gypsies, atheists, and vegans, plus the right to sue a company any time you're offended while on company property, plus special fire-department attention to poor neighborhoods on account of their property's probably being less sturdy than rich people's property. (Bonus: The council in the London borough of Barnet has officially discouraged mother-in-law jokes and other expressions of disrespect for seniors and parents.) Daily Mail /// Daily Telegraph
And Still More Things To Worry About
Las Vegas Death Ray: The new, futuristic Vdara Hotel has an architectural problem--its south-facing windows reflect (and focus) the sun onto a 10-foot-by-15-foot moving zone across the pool deck around noon-ish, and the "ray" can singe the hair on your head! Las Vegas Review-Journal
Sidney, N.Y. (between Bimghamton and Oneonta) has been for years authorizing a Muslim cemetery to do business there, but in the wake of the "Ground Zero mosque," it has suddenly discovered that Muslims are buried in Sidney! No-o-o-o! Not in our town! Dig them up! Huffington Post
Problem: The contemporary British outdoor sport of dogging (i.e., public sex with strangers) annoys neighbors of a park area in Surrey County. One suggestion by the Surrey Council: Scare those horny rascals away by bringing in some bulls to graze. (Alas, the Sobering Truth, said one councillor: "It will probably make [the doggers] even more excited.") Daily Telegraph
(Recurring Theme) Gene Cranick's house burned down in Obion County, Tenn., as firefighters looked on, idly. They were on the scene only to prevent its spread to Cranick's neighbor's house. The neighbor had already paid the optional $75 firefighting tax, but Cranick had been too smart for that. WPSD-TV (Paducah, Ky.)
(Recurring Theme) Tex-Ass Justice: Stephen Brodie, a deaf man intimidated by police in Richardson, Tex., into confessing to a sexual assault in 1991, was freed, as it finally became clear to everyone (and not just reasonable people) that someone else had done the crime. Actually, Brodie had already served the time but had been re-arrested for refusing to register as a sex offender. [ed.: This is another win for Dallas DA Craig Watkins, who has run an assembly line correcting wrongful convictions but who faces voters in November, challenged by someone more inclined to let sleeping convictions lie.] Associated Press via Beaumont Enterprise
David Winkelman was picked up by police in Davenport, Iowa, on an extremely minor warrant, but then here's his mug shot. Winkelman got famous in 2000 for having his forehead tattooed with a promo for KORB-FM radio 93.5 to win the station's "$100,000-plus" payout prize. When he showed up to collect, the jocks informed him the whole thing was a joke. The Smoking Gun
Un-compelling Explanation: Raymond Roberts, 25, picked up in a traffic stop in Manatee County, Fla., had a baggie of marijuana stuck up his woo-hoo. He admitted to that, but the other baggie of rock cocaine up there--well, that's not his. Bradenton Herald
Things People Believe: There is a guy in Sydney who gave up (Aus)$50,000, along with his wife's honor (lie down naked for three men and have sex with them), because he believed it was the only way she could get rid of some curse the men said she had. Daily Telegraph (Sydney) via Courier Mail (Brisbane)
Here's how desperate Mugabe and his people are: They fell for Ms. Nomatter Tagarira's bamboozle in which she convinced them that she could produce a fountain of pre-refined diesel fuel by chanting into a boulder (actually: an assistant in the bushes was shooting out oil gushers). Her take from Mugabe: £1.7 million ($2.685 million), plus a farm, food, and a 50-vehicle convoy. Last week, she was sent to prison for three years. The Australian
The Pervo-American Community
Gregory Streater, 26, broke into his ex-mother-in-law's house wearing heels and pantyhose. Oh, him, said the woman. "That's why he's my ex-son-in-law." KOTV (Oklahoma City)
Glenn Armstrong, 48, tried to weasel out of evidence that he was taking photos of male toddlers' penises, including one brazenly in a rest room as a diaper was being changed. According to a certain shrink, anyway, Armstrong is not aroused by this but does it just for anatomical curiosity--a fascination with circumcision. News.com.au (Sydney)
Thai Police Pounce on Prolific Panty Perv. (There is not much to this story except for the alliteration in the headline and a fabulous photo of a mound of panties.) Phuket Gazette

Want to be scared? Try Time magazine's investigation, The Secret World of Militias.

(2) Amid today's political paranoia, facts are a luxury. If you believe in your heart that Obama's coming to get ya, then you're sure that the time to start firing is right now! Time

Collaboration & Partnership
Most organisations will pass referrals to and from other organisations within their area, who provide services that they themselves do not. Local councils, who are funding many services in their communities also have a need to send and receive data from their service providers on a regular basis.
To serve this important need, we have developed an automatic, integrated, secure process to achieve this for Charitylog users. It is possible to refer a client directly from your Charitylog system to another organisation using Charitylog. The second organisation receives notification of an incoming referral and is able to either match the client to one already in their database, or add the new client, then import the referral.
Since this is done directly on our secure server, the data never goes into the outside world. A much more secure system than a fax / email which can be viewed by anyone in the office!
When the receiving organisation has contacted the client, the outcome information may be passed back to the sending database, and this then appears in the client's history, thus 'closing the loop'.
It is important to note that this is achieved by sending data between databases, not by allowing the second organisation access to the sender's database.
The process has now been adopted by Age UK Islington who have introduced some of their collaborating partners to Charitylog. Some of these partners run the 'starter' version of Charitylog, others may expand the system to use more of the functionality available in the 'full' system.
We can also embed a 'contact us' type page into your website, allowing people to refer themselves to your organisation directly from your website. The page looks the same as the rest of your website and has no Charitylog branding. However, it does use the Charitylog secure data transfer process, ensuring security for your clients.

Hello Girlfriend BETSEY JOHNSON perfume, before the relaunch.
I"ve posted a pic of a different bottle it came in, it is the same fragrance. it used to come in a round bottle with flowers, as well as a square bottle with her picture on it when it was very first introduced to her boutiques. You could not buy this online, ever.
Price is set as it is because it's kind of a make me an offer type deal. Send me a message if interested. Please no returns. Smell nicer than the relaunch and has been kept in the refrigerator to keep the scent.
I am also selling full in shrinkwrap bottles/sets of the relaunch....it's the one in the silver packaging with lips on the bottle. See my other listings and inquire FIRST, there will be no returns. I would never sell but I HAVE TO. Let's find this a good home.

Studies Not Universal
With all the studies linked here, it's well worth noting this: Psychological Research Not Always Universal; Studies Should Involve More Cross-Cultural Collaboration.
Previously, geographical barriers limited researchers' ability to develop these relationships. Now, technology, such as Skype, can help scholars facilitate communication and work through possible cultural misunderstandings.

The American Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East was founded in 2009, primarily by American service personnel who had met Canon Andrew White and supported his work in Baghdad, Iraq. Several of the founding Trustees had previously served on the U.S. Advisory Council to the UK FRRME Board.
Specifically, the American Foundation was established to promote and foster reconciliation, peaceful relations and mutual respect amongst and between religious groups and their members; provide pastoral and logistic relief, support, and assistance to Christian churches, congregations, parishes and communities; provide humanitarian relief and assistance to persons and communities in need, and foster economic development in order to alleviate human suffering; advance respect for the rights of women, children and religious minorities; and seek an end to sectarian violence and promote the peaceful mediation and resolution of social, political, economic and religious disputes.
FRRME America Board
The Board of Trustees meets regularly, either in person or telephonically, including an Annual Meeting, to further the mission of the Foundation. An ex officio Executive Director handles day-to-day matters, and the Executive Committee consults quarterly or more often, as necessary, to conduct the ongoing business of the Foundation. Board terms are for three years, and positions are open to individuals of good standing with a genuine desire to promote FRRME's goals of humanitarian relief and religious reconciliation in Iraq and throughout the Middle East.

ABA Banking Journal
By: Melanie Scarborough
August 24, 2010
Homeownership, the cornerstone of the American Dream, has become the American Nightmare for many: mortgage-holders watching their home values plummet, applicants facing tough qualifying standards, and bankers who would like to lend but are struggling under regulatory constraint.
The National Association of Realtors reported that contracts for pending sales on existing homes plunged 30% in May. While that likely was caused by the expiration of a tax credit for first-time buyers, the fact that the sales rate dropped more than twice what economists predicted suggests other factors are in play.
Certainly, high unemployment and a shaky economy reduce the number of mortgage applicants. But even areas with the most stable housing markets report problems making loans.
Money available, but only for a few
Oklahoma has the lowest percentage of homeowners with negative equity -- only 5.9%, compared to the national average of 23.7% -- according to a recent survey by California-based CoreLogic. Yet Brad Swickey, president and CEO of Valliance Bank in Oklahoma City, says the state's steady mortgage market doesn't immunize them from problems because banks are subject to the national underwriting standards of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
"What drives housing values is the availability of financing," Swickey says, and financing is increasingly hard to obtain. "Everyone hears the mortgage rates quoted as being at historic lows, but those rates are offered only to individuals with a middle credit score of about 740."
Consequently, the moderate-income family with a score around 650 often is priced out of the market, frustrating them as well as their bankers. "I'm not saying mortgage money isn't available; it is," says Swickey. "But it's not freely available for people with good, solid jobs and good, solid credit scores who are finding it more difficult to qualify than they would have two years ago."
Exacerbating the problem is examiners' demands that banks have more capital on hand. For a $200 million-asset bank such as Valliance, that means reducing the number of assets on its balance sheet. I would love to make loans," says Swickey, "but examiners want more capital. So I have to buy government or agency securities at 2-3% when I'd rather make loans at 6-7%."
Big hit from new rule
In another small community, Placerville, Calif., El Dorado Savings Bank FSB faces a similar situation. The bank has very few delinquent loans and foreclosures because, as a portfolio lender, it underwrites conservatively, explains Thomas Meuser, chairman and CEO of the $1.7 billion-asset bank.
The local mortgage market saw an uptick earlier this year as people applied for mortgages before the tax credit expired, but activity has slowed significantly since then and more trouble may be coming. "There's a real concern that banks have held back on foreclosures, and those will be coming online the second half of this year," says Meuser. "So we will have a difficult year at the end of this year and into 2011."
But like Swickey, he sees new regulation as the long-term danger. "The new rule [contained in the Dodd-Frank regulatory reform act] that we have to verify that people can make payment is going to be a real hit to the housing market because we make a lot of loans -- and have for our 50-year history -- [on the basis] that a person is a good risk," says Meuser. "On paper, maybe they don't look that good, don't have good qualifying ratios, but we make the loan anyway."
Such applicants usually are longstanding customers with good credit scores who may be self-employed or do the sort of work where a consistent income is difficult to verify. "We know they can pay," he says, "but we aren't going to take a chance on them going forward because of potential liability." The new rules also will force El Dorado Savings to make fewer of the CRA loans that earned it an outstanding rating in the past.
Lawmakers think they're protecting the borrower, but they're actually making it more difficult for people to get loans, observes Meuser. "It's a huge deal that hasn't gotten much attention."
Customers say, "I'm outta here"
One huge deal that is drawing attention is the problem of strategic default: the growing number of mortgage-holders choosing not to make payments even though they have the means to do so. Researchers at the University of Chicago and Northwestern University estimate that such calculated decisions now account for about one-third of all home-mortgage defaults. The phenomenon is particularly prevalent in areas where home values have dropped 25% or more.
"The real star of the show is the person with a $1 million house now worth $600,000 who decides it isn't worth it, that there are other things he can do with his money," says William Uffelman, president and CEO of the Nevada Bankers Association. In that hard-hit state, 70% of mortgages are upside down.
Fannie Mae recently announced that it will deny government-backed mortgages for seven years to borrowers deemed to be strategic defaulters, but that is unlikely to deter underwater mortgage-holders who can save thousands of dollars each month by walking away from their loans. "If you're a person of means who has other places to go or a second home and have no credit needs, so what if your personal credit takes a hit? You have a place to live at a lower price," Uffelman says. "Lots of them will look at you and say, 'It's just a business decision.'"
Indeed, few of the strategic defaulters seem to think they're doing anything wrong. Many underwater mortgage-holders say it is irrational to pay for a crisis they didn't cause.
In Arizona, the heat is on
Strategic defaults now account for 20-35% of defaults in its state, the Arizona Bankers Association estimates. "We've got cases of higher-end homes where the bank can see [customers] have money sitting in the bank that would satisfy the loan," says Tanya Wheeless, president and CEO of AZBA.
Yet Arizona bankers are greatly disadvantaged by the state's unique anti-deficiency statute.
"Banks can't go after homeowners on their primary residence, a second home, or any investment property," she explains. "Our feeling is that has contributed considerably to the high rate of default -- particularly in a state like ours where values are down on an average of 25-40%, depending on location."
In one case, a borrower from the Midwest bought a $1 million vacation home in Paradise Valley, Arizona's wealthiest ZIP code, but decided he no longer wanted the property after its value declined. To get the benefit of the anti-deficiency statute even though he had never moved into the house, "he flew in and camped out in the home for about a week and claimed it as a residence," Wheeless says, before returning the keys to the small community bank that held the mortgage.
In addition to lobbying strenuously for a change in law, the Arizona Bankers Association urges its members to have long memories. "When credit turns around, it's going to be important that bankers remember who those folks were who walked away," she says.
Yet as lenders become more suspicious, chiselers get more canny. Wheeless recently heard someone at a social gathering blithely talk about their plan to default strategically and says if the lender asked any questions, they would say they were buying the second home for a parent.
"You go from being shocked to appalled to angry," says Wheeless. "Foreclosures of all types affect everyone else. I keep waiting for the masses to revolt and say, 'You're hurting me and my land value.' "
The good news is that Arizona's residential values seem to have stabilized and are even climbing in some areas. As that trend continues, Wheeless expects strategic defaults to decline. "We'll still have foreclosures driven by lack of income," she says. "But strategic default is different because there's a choice."
No shade in the Sunshine State
Banks in Florida can file deficiency judgments and many are doing so with a fair degree of success, reports Miller Couse, president of First Bank of Clewiston. "You might not get your money back right away, but in the next ten years you'll be able to get some of that money back," he says.
The process is easier for community banks that made direct loans. Government lenders commonly take 18 months to two years to begin foreclosure proceedings -- a factor strategic defaulters apparently take into account in deciding to stop making payments.
Experts fear that as that knowledge spreads, strategic defaults will accelerate, putting more vacant houses on a market already overburdened by inventory.
Couse admits to being baffled by such behavior: "It's been quite shocking to us to watch this happen." Because First Bank didn't make any stated-income or zero-down loans, strategic defaulters are walking away from at least 20% equity.
Like other bankers, Couse must cope not only with fickle customers, but with an uncertain mortgage market. "Every month we think we've touched bottom and then things slip a little more," he says. "We're certainly not having the devaluation we did have -- but as these foreclosures keep coming on the market, home prices go down. It's just such a crazy time."
That seems to be the consensus. Nationwide, bankers expect their markets to rebound, but see new hurdles on the road to recovery.
From rust to riches
In contrast to the national trend, home foreclosures in Pittsburgh slowed last year by nearly 8%, with Forbes naming it the best city in the country to buy a home. So what is The Steel City doing right?
Part of it is luck. "If you attribute the housing crisis to rapid appreciation that couldn't be sustained, we didn't experience that in Pittsburgh," says Mike Henry, vice-president of residential lending for Dollar Bank.
The city is not immune from what is happening in the rest of the country, he says, but it has not experienced the underwater mortgages that led to catastrophe in other areas. "Affordable housing brings companies into the area, and that helps sustain stability. We've seen decent growth."
Another safeguard from the housing crisis is that Pittsburgh is not overdeveloped.
Additionally, Pittsburgh is not a high-transient city; most residents buy homes with the intent to stay in them.
Finally, Henry says, Pittsburgh is not experiencing the high unemployment that plagues other parts of the country -- and a stable employment rate "helps sustain a nice, healthy housing market."


text: 297 FXUS63 KIWX 272342 AFDIWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Northern Indiana 742 PM EDT Thu Apr 27 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 740 PM EDT Thu Apr 27 2017 Mostly cloudy, cool, and dry conditions are expected overnight and Friday. Lows tonight will drop into the lower to middle 40s...with highs on Friday recovering into the 60s. A frontal boundary will bring periods of rain and perhaps a few thunderstorms to the region late Friday through Monday. The heavier, more widespread, rain is expected to fall later Saturday into early Sunday. Highs on Saturday will generally range between the mid 50s to mid 60s...with temperatures warming into 70s on Sunday. Cooler conditions are then expected behind this system next week. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Saturday) Issued at 303 PM EDT Thu Apr 27 2017 Cooler/drier air will continue to funnel in post-frontal late this afternoon and evening as low pressure lifts north into Ontario. The only real adjustment to the forecast was to increase sky cover due to expected slower erosion of low clouds and increase in mid-high level clouds later tonight into Friday morning as warm advection commences. Strong Northeast Pacific upper jet will carve out a negative height anomaly Friday into Saturday across the Four Corners...with subsequent downstream mid/upper ridging across the Eastern US and a strengthening low level baroclinic zone materializing across the Mid MS/OH Valleys. This combined with ample GOM moisture return in deepening southwest flow will set the stage for periods of rain later tomorrow into Saturday. A disjointed lead wave and initial surge of elevated moisture/isentropic ascent will bring chances for lighter rain later Friday into Friday evening, though some more moderate rain and perhaps some embedded thunder will be possible mainly along/south of US 24 on the nose of the associated weak LLJ. Seasonable temps and mainly cloudy otherwise tomorrow. An active low level frontal boundary will then lay/stall out over the Mid MS/Northern OH Valleys later Friday night into Saturday morning as high pressure nudges into the Great Lakes and low pressure organizes over the Southern Plains. The result will be a trend toward drier/cooler conditions northwest of US 24 and continued higher chances for periods of rain/elevated thunder along/southeast of US 24 near the frontal slope. && .LONG TERM...(Late Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 303 PM EDT Thu Apr 27 2017 12z model suite continued to point to the late Saturday through Sunday morning periods as the best opportunity for more widespread/heavier rainfall as moisture transport/convergence maximizes in response to northeast ejection of deepening low into the Central US. As mentioned in previous discussions it is difficult to pinpoint where the heaviest swath of rain will occur given smaller scale elements that cannot be resolved at this forecast range. With that said will continue to highlight the potential for a swath of 1-3" and possible low lying/river flooding in the ESF (Hydrologic Outlook), with favored models hinting at our nw IN/sw Lower MI counties for heavier totals. Active frontal boundary likely lifts north into Lower MI/far nw IN Sunday into Sunday evening in response to deep low eventually lifting into Iowa. This will allow warmer/more unstable air to briefly advect back into the local area during this time. Chances for occasional showers/storms will likely persist into Sunday as height falls overspread warm sector and convectively induced/smaller scale waves lift northeast in strong southwest flow, especially over nw IN/sw Lower MI near frontal zone. System cold front/occlusion then swings through sometime Sunday night/early Monday with additional chances for showers/storms. The main threat will continue to be locally heavy rain as marginal instability and late arrival of cold front likely limits the severe threat. The early week period will feature breezy/cooler conditions and chances for a few light showers post-frontal as wrap around moisture rotates through under filling low meandering northeast through the Upper Midwest/Northern Great Lakes. Drier with temps remaining below normal into the middle of next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday Evening) Issued at 733 PM EDT Thu Apr 27 2017 Primarily VFR conditions to persist through the forecast period. Some brief excursions to MVFR due to cigs through this evening...however do not anticipate any cigs blo 2kft for impact. Otherwise attention on backing surface flow and a more elevated ceiling into Friday. While rain chances non-zero, they do not appear sufficient for inclusion at this time as a more significant chance with impact potential holding off until just beyond current forecast period. && .IWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Staff Pick: Wonder
"August Pullman, 10 year old boy with a genetic facial deformity, starts school for the first time in his life at Beecher Prep Middle School. Auggie must learn to cope with how others see him, even though he feels like an ordinary boy. He is a bright, witty child, and after he has a chance to be himself; others eventually grow to love him. Auggie and his new friends discover that there will always be bad people in the world, but hopefully, the good will always outweigh the bad. This is a wonderful read for everyone!"
Recommeneded by: Kimberly Anderson, West Indianapolis Branch Library
Auggie is ten and has never been to school. His Mom teaches him at home. For fifth grade Auggie's Mom and Dad decide it would be a good idea for him to try school. He's never been to school AT ALL so he's going to start in Middle School. What do you think? Would you want to do that?
Auggie isn't sure what he thinks about school because he's never been there. He knows he wants one thing though, friends…and school is where the other kids are. Auggie just wants to be a regular kid.
I think the only person in the world who realizes how ordinary I am is me.
My name is August, by the way. I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse. (page 1)
The reason Auggie hasn't been to school yet is because he has had 27 surgeries since he was born. He has an extreme facial abnormality. He did survive, and now he's strong enough to not just survive; he's strong enough to live, to grow, to learn and to go to school. But he still doesn't look like other kids. In Middle School, kids worry if their shoes aren't like the other kids' shoes. Auggie's got something different that is a lot different, and he can't do a thing to change it.
Wonder is a "so truthful it hurts" story about an ordinary kid in an ordinary family in an ordinary school…living an extraordinary life. Life can be difficult and confusing and messy and make you cry, even while it is being wonderful. I loved getting to know Auggie and his family, especially his sister Via. I really liked that the point of view of the chapters change so that you hear from Auggie, as well as his sister and some of the kids at his new school. This is important because this isn't just Auggie's story, it is their story too. It takes them all to get the story right. Author: R.J. Palacio

text: Posted October 4, 2007 I have noticed a something on (Contact Us Please) and this forum that tells a lot of duck hunters are full of bull.So many guys claim to only shoot drakes. They give a report that goes something like this...."a flock of mallards came in and I passed on 3 hens to drop 2 drakes in the rear."....ummm humm..sure..you do this all the time. Pretty tough most of the year to tell a drake from a hen in these parts. Even from species to species is tough. Last weekend our party shot a teal we all thought was a woodie and vice versa. After we limited on woodies we decided we better call it quits. In the hazy light we has and light mist they were tough to tell apart. Cans and Redheads can be tough too. I have seen that one blown before.Ringbills and Scaup can be tough in some locations.I shoot mixed bags and I shoot hens....I am not afraid to say it. I also only make it out 4 or 5 times a year and rarely limit.I am totally wrong here or do you guys sometimes shoot a duck and ID later??? I typically know..or think I know..but it seams like I make lots of mistakes compared to some of the "do-gooders" you run across. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saving time and bandwidth are two things every system administrator loves. Implementing apt-cacher could save you a considerable amount of both, depending on the number of servers you have. As the name implies, apt-cacher caches packages and package lists for apt packaging systems on Debian or Debian-like systems. Here's how I recently implemented apt-cacher:
apt-get install apt-cacher
I edited /etc/apt-cacher/apt-cacher.conf:
cache_dir=/path/to/cache/directory email@example.com daemon_addr=IPADDRESS
I also edited /etc/default/apt-cacher and set:
Then ran:
/etc/init.d/apt-cacher start
I imported the existing files apt-get had locally archived:
/usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-import.pl -r /var/cache/apt/archives
Finally, I edited /etc/apt/sources.list on the apt-cacher server, and each client server:
deb http://hostname:3142/ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main non-free contrib deb-src http://hostname:3142/ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main non-free contrib deb http://hostname:3142/security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main non-free contrib deb-src http://hostname:3142/security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main non-free contrib

Hamilton Beach® Easy-Reach 4- Slice Toaster Ovenpp5003030101
web ID: 7805477
Cooking's not a hassle with a convection oven that gets the job done. From breakfast toast to dinner for the family, this convenient appliance does it all, so you don't have to.
- silver finish matches any kitchen decor
- removable roll-top door for easy cleaning
- large opening for easy access to food
- bake, broil and toast settings
- 30-minute timer
- includes bake pan and broil rack with 2 positions
Metal. Measures 13.63x17.63x10.63"H. Front-access crumb tray slides out for easy clean-up. Hand wash exterior. Imported.
Rated 4 out of 5 by matcs from overall good product This toaster oven is probably about the best one on the market in its price range. I am impressed that it has few plastic parts. The overall design makes it very easy to clean. I would prefer that the toast settings were more precisely labeled. I did have an issue with customer service when I first got the oven. There was a film on the inside glass of the door, and I could not get it off with soap and water or glass cleaner. I called customer service and the woman I spoke with didn't seem to want to bother with helping me. Rather, she told me to disable the oven by cutting the cord. I was to send in a picture and then I would be sent a new oven. I was to discard the one I had. This really bothered me, so I decided to try white vinegar to clean the glass and it worked beautifully. I find it sad that the representative did not try to help me find a solution before telling me to destroy a perfectly good oven.

Rated 5 out of 5 by toastywarm from I really like the rounded lid. The overall compact size fits nicely on a counter top, and yet it holds as much food as a larger toaster oven would hold. I am delighted to have found it, as it is just what I was looking for.
Date published: 2017-03-28
Rated 5 out of 5 by gg60 from Love the easy reach in! Like how the door rolls up! Easy to get toast or bagel out. That is all I have used it for so far. Can't wait to make small pizza in it.
Date published: 2017-02-07
Rated 2 out of 5 by Robin from Just OK Must use both knobs to make toast. Slightly cumbersome. It is difficult to adjust the lower knob to the proper color of toast. Would not repurchase.
Date published: 2017-01-03
Rated 2 out of 5 by GhettoTechnoGeek from Seemed like a good idea I was really looking forward to getting this in. It was a great price and a nice design. Two problems: 1)Toasting is slightly more complicated than it needs to be. 2) This thing ticks down the time out loud. Who wants to hear that for thirty minutes while you're cooking something? It drove me crazy the first thirty seconds that I was testing it! I wish I could upload a video to show how loud it is. It was bad enough that I'm returning it right away.
Date published: 2014-12-04
Rated 5 out of 5 by 7grands from Good size, meets expectations This fits perfectly in my appliance garage along with Kitchen Aid mixer. I give it 5 stars on everything but value because it was not a bargain on Black Friday but I was limited on over-all width. I'm pleasantly surprised that the rollback top allows reaching down to get toast out rather than into toaster to grab, avoiding burns.
Date published: 2016-12-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bajanqueen from Convenient This is very easy to use for my boys. I love it. This product is all I wanted.

TomTom is to introduce a real time pan-European data service with its new navigation device, the company announced April 26.
In a first for the industry, the GO LIVE 1000 will include always-on connectivity across 33 European countries when it launches in Summer 2010. The technology, which relies on mobile phone data networks, enables customers to obtain information on traffic congestion and speed cameras while driving at home and overseas.
While data connections in satellite navigation devices are not new, TomTom is moving closer to an app-based model with the GO LIVE 1000. The server systems which provide content to the device have been completely redesigned, allowing users to download apps via the always-on connection, much like mobile phones.
The model also features a new, faster routing algorithm and a capacitive touch screen, giving a better touch response than traditional satellite navigation touch screens. It also pulls additional data from the web, such as telephone numbers for points of interest.
Taking a cue from Apple's Mag-Safe notebook power cords, the GO LIVE 1000 features a magnetic holster and power cable, making it easier to snap the device in and out of the windshield and minimizing the chance of pulling the device off the screen with an ill-placed cable.
Pricing details have not yet been released for the device, which will be available in Europe.
Navigation manufacturers face increasing competition from mobile phone manufacturers, which are incorporating more sophisticated mapping software in their devices.
Last week, TomTom competitor Garmin announced the launch of the "Garminfone" in the US, an integrated navigation device and Android smartphone that will be available from late spring.Reuse content

Lafayette School District
"Our students are creative thinkers and problem-solvers and are prepared to become responsible, ethical and productive citizens."
Dear Lafayette Parents, Community Members, and Staff,
I appreciate the emails I received following the previous information that was shared regarding the situation with our school district budget. Your support and understanding during this challenging time is greatly appreciated. As a follow-up to my last communication, I do want to address a number of excellent questions that I received.
1) What can I do to help?
One of the most impactful ways that you can help is through your donations to the Lafayette Partners in Education (LPIE). While LPIE asks every family to contribute $800 per child per year, donations of any amount, given at any time during the year, are needed and appreciated. Your donation to LPIE provides direct support to the district. Currently, on average, only 65% of our families donate to LPIE. If we could raise this percentage substantially, it would make a huge difference and could help provide tremendous support to our budget.
Please know that additional revenue enhancing suggestions along with plans of action are always welcome.
In addition, advocacy with your State Representatives is always appreciated and important. Please click here to view upcoming community events with our local representatives.
2) As a cost savings measure, why doesn't the district eliminate the Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program?
The State currently mandates that districts continue to offer a transitional kindergarten program for all students born between September 2nd and December 2nd. We realize that students born in this window of time are offered an opportunity to begin school when students born outside of this window are not, but so far, even though kindergarten enrollment dates have now shifted, this mandate remains. We do receive Average Daily Attendance (ADA) dollars for all students who participate in TK which does help to offset the costs of this program.
3) Lafayette teachers are the highest paid in the area.
This is simply not the case. While our salary schedule remains competitive with teacher salaries found in our neighboring districts, our teachers do not receive salaries that are the highest in the area or the State. We also believe that with the growing teacher shortage, our district must remain competitive in order to attract and retain the most highly qualified teachers.
4) Why is the district purchasing playground equipment when there are issues with the budget?
The Measure C bond money that the community generously approved is being used, in part, to purchase playground equipment at each elementary school. While some of our playground equipment still appears to look fine, most of it has aged out. It poses potential safety issues, and it is not ADA (American Disabilities Act) compliant. The new equipment meets all current safety codes and is ADA compliant. This new equipment should serve us well for many years to come.
Bond monies cannot be used to support the general fund budget and cannot be used for instructional programs. Monies from the bond must be used to support modernizing and upgrading facilities, and only those that are outlined on the bond project list developed prior to the passage of the bond. In preparation for the bond and the development of a bond project list, an extensive needs assessment was conducted of every school in the district. This analysis included looking at all infrastructures, existing structures, and capacity needs to determine what work needed to be done.
5) Why don't we use bond monies for teacher salaries and for instructional programs?
Measure C bond monies are restricted with regards to how they can be used. Bond monies can be used to modernize, renovate, and build facilities and infrastructure. These monies cannot be used to support classroom programs, salaries, or staffing. Bond monies are held in a separate account and are monitored by a Citizens' Oversight Committee.
6) What about economies of scale. Are there ways for our district to partner with the Orinda, Moraga, and Walnut Creek School Districts to share services?
We are currently looking at ways to partner with our neighboring districts, particularly in the area of special education. With rising special education costs and very little funding coming from the State and the federal government to support special education, we are working with our neighboring districts to determine if there are particular types of services that can be shared. Superintendents and Directors of Special Education from these districts have met to engage in a collaborative conversation about ways to better utilize and possibly share services.
7) Would more volunteers in our schools have an impact on the budget?
Our district is grateful for the numbers of volunteers who help to support our schools. While we always want to remain open to the various types of support volunteers can provide, particularly in our community, it is difficult to rely solely on citizen volunteers to solve many of our budget issues.
8) How is the district determining what items in the budget should be reduced?
We are trying to be extremely thoughtful, collaborative, and cautious about proposed reductions. While a strong case can be made for every single service in our district being important and critical to our needs, we are trying to make reductions that are as far away from direct, daily classroom instruction with students. We have also worked in partnership with both our certificated and classified unions to get guidance and input. In addition, we are looking at attrition caused by employees vacating positions. Whenever possible, we are not filling these positions, and we are reconfiguring staffing to provide needed support. Additional information about the district's budget can be found under business services on our district website.
If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Please know that I deeply appreciate your support during these challenging times.
Very respectfully,
Rachel Zinn, Superintendent
