Re: maiself-tai
Great design, gmv
female wrote:You may think so, but I sincerely doubt it. Mucha did many female figures standing up 'straight', but even these figures usually had an 'S' curve in them, if not in their body than at least in the form of their clothing (not the detail wrinkles, but the actual shape).
These 'S' shapes and contrapasto poses, however subtly done, create a feminine action line and silhouette. Toe's illustration has a very straight action line, which is rigid and masculine. The skirt wrinkles running diagonally help to break this up a bit, but the form and silhouette are still straight up and down. (I won't even discuss the shape that she and the bottom flower create as I don't want to be crude, but it also adds to the masculinity of what should be a very feminine design.) Just my opinion of course. I would be all over this design with some subtle modifications.
i freely admit Mucha was and will always be a better artist than i will ever be. my work pails in his masterful shadow. but i thank you for picking apart my design into pedantic minutiae and making it abundantly clear i will never equal his massive talent.
I think this entry is too funny. . . I want one!

Thanks, yea, it's a lot - Here's a brief summary: Some people think my shirt design vacuums and some other people think those people are being rude in their critical analyses and are defending my design. I submitted this having no earthly idea it would get any more votes than my submissions usually do. I'm trying to answer everybody, but have missed a few.
noooo! This needs to win! It's the only one I'd buy...
Translucent branch sounds like a good idea - I'll try to incorporate that if I should have to change it. Thanks.

I am not begging for votes, I just want feedback so I can learn. Thanks for taking the time to say something, it takes me a long time to make the design and I want to get better.

Of all posts here I think you said it best, people are whining because this shirt isn't quite 'wooty' enough for them. That is why I personally only vote for shirts I would buy/wear, not just shirts I that are good designs.
As with most people on this site, I don't buy every shirt that comes up. I buy a shirt or 2 a month, and really refuse to get bent out of shape over peticular shirts not getting printed.
I would appreciate any comments about this design, this is an attempt to look less "scary"
I was trying to show the panda eating the bamboo hut, so this time I used bite marks... an improvment?
Also changed some other things (tree, flower...)
Finally, something actually Hawaiian. GMV!

McMahon writes on regional, state and local issues, recommending policy changes and reforms to increase economic growth. His recent work has included studies focused on New York's unsustainable public pension and retiree health care costs, the out-migration of New York residents to other states, and a "blueprint" for cutting and restructuring New York's deficit-ridden state budget. His articles have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Barron's, the Public Interest, the New York Post, the New York Daily News, Newsday, and the New York Sun, among other publications.

Submitted by Caroline on
June 10, 2013 - Thousands of women and children are trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation in New York State annually. Typically, it is the victims, not their traffickers and buyers, who are arrested. Equality Now, Jewish Child Care Association (JCCA), The Arts Effect NYC and the New York State Anti-Trafficking Coalition are campaigning to pass the Trafficking Victims Protection and Justice Act (TVPJA A.2240A/S.2135A) this June.
Trafficking Victims Protection and Justice Act
Sponsored by Assembly member Amy Paulin and Senator Andrew Lanza, the TVPJA is a comprehensive bill that seeks to improve New York's current anti-trafficking law. If passed, it would give law enforcement better tools to target pimps and buyers and provide comprehensive services to victims. The TVPJA is up for vote during this legislative session, which ends June 20.
Lauren Hersh, New York Director, Equality Now:
"When people think of sex trafficking, they think of women and girls being smuggled across international borders. But sex trafficking is happening in New York. It is essential that laws protect women and girls from those who seek to exploit them."
Richard Altman, CEO, Jewish Child Care Association:
"Jewish Child Care Association is committed to giving the victims of sex trafficking the resources, support and protection they need to live independent and productive lives. It is time the New York State Legislature did the same by passing the Trafficking Victims Protection and Justice Act."
Survivor leadership in combatting trafficking: Ruth's Story
At age 12, after being raped by her mother's boyfriend, Ruth met an older man who promised to love and care for her. Instead, he brutally beat her, repeatedly raped her and sold her for sex. Although Ruth was a commercially sexually exploited child, she was arrested. Ruth was placed at Gateways, a program of the JCCA, where she received treatment that has provided her with tools to rebuild her life and transition from victim to survivor.
Equality Now spearheaded Project IMPACT, an 8-week leadership-through-storytelling workshop for teen survivors of commercial sexual exploitation at Gateways. The project culminated in a trip to the 2013 Lobby Day in Albany where, Ruth and other Project IMPACT survivors advocated for passage of the TVPJA.
"Survivor leadership is critical to shaping anti-trafficking efforts. Ruth's voice was so powerful during May's TVPJA Lobby Day. No one could have made a more compelling argument. Survivors are the real experts. We need to listen to them," stated Lauren Hersh.
"Storytelling is essential for the empowerment of girls. Giving these young, courageous survivors the tools, safe space, and creative guidance to share their unique voices and experiences is key to continued healing and change. The girls begin to understand – feel – that their stories have power. They become leaders and change agents," stated Katie Capiello, Artistic Director of The Arts Effect NYC
The girls' stories are currently being featured in Equality Now's yearlong Survivor Stories campaign, showcasing survivor leadership in the anti-trafficking movement. Their story is accompanied by a call to action to pass the TVPJA and targets New York Governor Cuomo, Assemblyman Silver, and Senator Dean G. Skelos. Information for the public to join the campaign can be found here.

About Project IMPACT
A pilot initiative of Equality Now, Project IMPACT is an 8-week leadership-through-storytelling workshop for teen survivors of commercial sexual exploitation.

The program was done in partnership with The Arts Effect NYC, Gateways JCCA and the New York State Anti-Trafficking Coalition.

Reading Reaches New Heights at Local Middle School
Librarian and organizer of the event, "Read Around the School," Kelley Pell-Williams said, "We're focusing on reading and building excitement and celebrating reading."
This is the first year the middle schoolers are doing "Read Around the School." A fire drill was used to get the students outside in an orderly fashion, and lined up. They circled around the school, with books and balloons in hand.
This event acted as a fundraiser to bring in author, Maraget Peterson Haddix. Balloons cost students just $1 and they were filled with helium and all let go at once.
Haddix is expected to visit in May, the end of the school year, but they've been promoting reading and the author's visit since day one of school this year.
"We're really excited. It's been several years since we've been able to host an author. And the students are really pleased to be able to do that," Williams said.
Eighth grade teacher and department head of language arts, Chris Andrukat was also excited to have her students reading.
"It's not real cool to read in eighth grade. But, by the end of the year, we read a lot," Andrukat said. She added, "It was beautiful to just go outside and read outside."
"Read Around the School" is just the first of many events Williams and other faculty members are organizing this school year.
They're actually planning on asking for students' input on how to read more throughout the year, with another fundraiser planned in November.
But the focus was on the balloon launch Thursday afternoon. And with their choice of a book, magazine, or even e-reader, students sat quietly for just 15 minutes. Something Williams says might happen again.
"This one went off really well, so perhaps we will do this again next year," Williams said.

Cigar-friendly pioneer counts on the rebirth of downtown Los Angeles.
Alejandro Benes
Posted: February 7, 2007
If the dreams of the Los Angeles political establishment come true, the city's downtown will become a vibrant, residential and commercial zone with its own tax base, nightlife, culture and ethos. Essentially, the city is trying to create -- or re-create -- a neighborhood.
"The South Park district provides a unique opportunity for high-density housing near the core of Los Angeles," reads a development study of one area by Calthorpe Associates. "The area is anchored by Staples Center and the Los Angeles Convention Center and lies just south of downtown."
If the dreams come true, J Restaurant and Lounge will not only be well positioned, the large cigar-friendly destination will have been partly responsible for leading the resurrection of the urban zone. Light rail runs through the South Park neighborhood, but from few significant starting points. An impressive number of residential buildings are popping up around J. One day, J might be a great neighborhood restaurant. Right now, it's a destination. The neo-industrial interior is bare, but warm and inviting.
"This is definitely a development deal," explained Sergio Dovarro, the restaurant's managing partner. "It's part of the downtown renaissance. Some say I saved it from the wrecking ball." For 37 years, the building was a music club known as Little J's. Today it's an ambitious 25,000-square-foot establishment with a huge patio in back that Dovarro calls "the largest venue to open in the area since the Staples Center opened."
Dovarro, a native Angeleno born to Cuban parents, is an industrial engineer by training, an entertainment executive by trade and a real estate investor by daring. So opening a restaurant made perfect sense.
"I consider myself a professional diner," Dovarro joked one recent, chilly night.
His vision is supported by executive chef Ryan McKay, formerly sous chef at L'Orangerie in L.A., and by sommelier Frederic Hemon, also formerly of L'Orangerie, where he was sommelier and assistant maìtre d'. Hemon has created a wine list that includes some very hard-to-get-elsewhere wines, including a 2000 Hochar Chateau Musar from Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.
Dining, whether you're a professional or not, is a pleasure at J. We could not pass up the four-cheese macaroni and cheese with shaved black truffles as an appetizer, though it was listed as a main course. The "shavings" of black truffle were more like small disks of Italian luxury. We paired the dish with a Caesar salad. The rest of the meal was a risotto special featuring scallops in citrus and braised beef short ribs with crispy shallot rings and horseradish mashed potatoes. (My only recommendation would be that the short ribs be exclusively English cut.) The dessert list is appealing: the chocolate truffle cake was a little dry, but flavorful. Finding that they were out of the pecan tart, I asked for a taste of the dessert's pairing, a barolo gelato. Three full scoops were delivered. Good thing too. Unusual. Unique. Delicious.
|The bar
The next course at J is a cigar. The humidor is on the second floor, next to the long bar and just inside the patio that serves as the smoking lounge. It boasts a relatively limited selection that, the management assures, will grow. (For some reason, perhaps just aesthetic, J's Web site presents an image of a Cuban Montecristo.) Choose from one of a trio of Arturo Fuente Hemingways: the Short Story, Signature or Classic. They also have La Gloria Cubana Corona Gordas, Dunhill Romanas and The Griffin's.
What J Restaurant and Lounge offers now is a good place to visit before or after an event at the Staples Center, just three blocks away. J also offers the hope that Los Angeles will achieve a place among America's great cities by forming around a core that most citizens of the world would recognize as a real city, a city that would live by day and by night and not rely almost exclusively on the car.
Dream on and take another puff.

I do not think so. What you can do is check the "Reckoning" link on the top right navigation sometime next week. All the current weeks print will be listed on "Bystanders" column. voting ends tomorrow, This might be one of the 7 shirts printed from Friday to next Thursday. Hope it helps.

Thanks for all the support on this one! I'm actually planning to do a full-on digital painting with the raggon as the main subject. I really enjoyed the concept of a rabbit dragon so I figured I'd take it a step further. Bass you should post up the sketch you did, it was really well done and had a nice touch that I didn't think of.
Re: TXT CHAINSAW MASSACRE
I didn't even know we had an HM until the derby was underway... cool.
Re: TRANSFORMATION
Hahaha nice +1
Re: The White Stripes
Voted. I think this is one of your best. Good luck.
Re: Keepin' it cool
Hahaha, this one just cracks me up! And beautifully done!
Ignore the post immediately before yours.
The deal is, a new shirt is printed every day. During derbies (like the one this shirt is in) the top three shirts are printed: first place on Thursday at midnight CST, second place on Friday at midnight CST, and Saturday at midnight CST. If this shirt does not print one of those three days because it wasn't in the top three (based on votes), then it would normally be gone.
HOWEVER, this derby is what's called a double-take derby. Following the top three prints, there are editors' choice shirts where woot chooses from the derby entries the daily shirts, i.e.: shirts printed the other four days of the week.
So, if it doesn't make it in the top three, there is a possibility that it will be printed the following four days.
Moral of the story, check every day at midnight CST for a new shirt, and especially check Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night for this particular shirt.
Re: How rain works!
I can't BELIEVE this doesn't have more votes. SO GOOD!

If you submit this to any other shirt site, I guarantee they'll print it.

No art with more votes! Excelsior maybe is art, well yes it is. Good art usually does not do well on Woot. Puts this shirt in second on the art scale.
If you listen you can hear him roar!
Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=42191]Bill Haley
This is pretty cool
The "Fog Six" have been holding steady the last few days, but honestly, this is the only shirt I'd buy if it made the top three.
This is my favorite shirt in the entire derby, but for some reason (just like before) it lacks enough votes to be considered. Pooh.

Nope, If the filter is well stuck then 9 times out of 10 this will NOT be enough.
Filter wrenches are incredibly cheap, it is not worth the hassle of NOT buying them.

Alexander Arms says their Beowulf barrels are .980 "under the handguard" and .906 at the gas block. I haven't seen a picture to see how far the .980 diameter extends.
For the muzzle end, Dunlap's gunsmithing handbook recommends .150" wall thickness at the muzzle for most sporting barrels. I'll have to decide how I want to extend the end of the barrel... right now, I'm leaning toward just turning a step on the end, sliding a brake over, and silver soldering.
Gharr! No use working on the barrel until I get it chambered. Can't chamber without a reamer. Can't order the reamer until I get some brass. Which has been back-ordered for six weeks already...

'Daniel Paille and Jochen Hecht scored for the Sabres (20-20-6), who were down 3-0 before scoring twice to make it interesting. After ending a 10-game winless streak Friday night with a 10-1 rout of Atlanta, the Sabres had less jump on this night and fell to 1-6-5 in their last 12 games. "Back-to-back games aren't easy, but the position that we're in, we need to win these back-to-backs," said Sabres defenceman Brian Campbell.'

Hi guys,
I have made a thread before about this. But it also had some other stuff about it. I am waiting to buy some ESB unpainted armour as I don't know what colours I would spray them :( I am only able to use Rattlecans. If someone could help, that'll be awesome. I also haven't bought the unpainted armour as some painted armour may pop up at an affordable price :)

Children at Albertville secondary school were involved in the lesson when the door opened to reveal black clad former student who stood motionless, and then calmly took out a pistol and begin firing into the classroom. By now, the world knows what happened and the death of 15 people by a boy presently identified as Tim K. Education and psychology experts are offering sage comments about why the boy did the shooting, but German reporters interviewed some of his classmates as to their knowledge of Tim K.
Linda, knew him for years as a classmate and she describes him as a "quiet, reserved guy, but not in an objectionable way." Martin knew Tim since boyhood and he describes his friend this way: "Tim was never aggressive or conspicuous. He was simply normal, just like everyone else. I saw him every day, who would have thought he had a ticking bomb inside him?"
Early reports from police who seized computers in Tim's home make note of violent games played on the computer, but another friend, Stefen does not believe this was an issue. "Tim didn't play or watch more video games than me or any of my friends." He was just one of the normal boys in a class.
However, another classmate, Alexander, was struck by one factor of the shooting. Tim K. killed seven girls and two boys and all three teachers who were killed were women. Alexander does not recall ever seeing Tim with a girl and raises the question, "is that a coincidence that most of those killed were females? A good question, we will never know the answer.

Session II: The Big Issues FDR In this meeting we will discuss the main issues of the conflict. The first issue, the borders of the two state solutions and the meaning of it for both sides both psychologically, politically, historically and so on. The second case is the demand of the right of the return for the Palestinians and the Israeli demand for recognition of Israel as a Jewish state. The third one will be the issue of Jerusalem as a united city on the one hand and as the capital of two states on the other hand. The fourth, we will check the meaning of the end of the conflict for both sides. ***All study groups are off-the-record and not for media coverage***

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Update. 1 week post adoption:
So she is becoming far more social. Shes playing with the other dogs I have and while im working on stuff outside, she stays by my side. She continues to circle everyone including me before petting may begin. She has mastered the stairs after one pack of cheese. Boy does this dog love cheese and ice cubes.
Things are improving and im very hopfull they continue this way. I have this pheremone collar and plug ins that have really helped as she no longer whines in the crate
The frass thing is not unusual. Our first Boxer had never seen grass. Parvo scare in the Bay Area CA.
She was raised indoors and on concrete.
Give her time to settle in, no dog parks no "I thought my dog was friendly folks" and look at the 'Who Pets my Puppy or dog" pretty much the same as the advise on the Fearful Dog blog.
My guy was "people aggressive" so I did the "Who pets..." thing he turned out fine.
Just skimming through after the 1st post. For starters, 2 days is NOTHING. You need weeks and months for gentle introductions to seep in. We took on a 2.5 yr old Lab(Heidi) years ago, scared of just about everything. She wouldn't even come in the house, hated the vacuum, even the frige turning on gave her the fits.
My wife actually asked if we would have to get rid of her. NO, was my answer, but we need baby steps to move towards improvement, and time.
We got her turned totally around, she became a GREAT dog. It all happened very slowly. She also went from running back to the house at the sight of a gun, to loving it when the gun came out and running towards gunfire(hunting environment). That's another thread, but the basics are lower impact introductions that are enjoyable for the dog. It may be as simple as the vacuum is being run 2 rooms away while another is with the dog providing an occasional treat.
I wouldn't throw in the towel, especially after just a few days or weeks.
Just based on your update. Focus a lot on bonding with her before you start taking her places. She needs to believe in you 100% before you start introducing her to different environments she isn't sure of?
Does she like a toy? Have you tried different treats? Cut up hot dogs? cut up cheese? It took me a while to find a treat that Titan would go bonkers for... so maybe just try a few. I've rarely ever seen a dog not enthused about Natural Balance food rolls cut up into small pieces. Either way.. find something, toy or treat that she really enjoys and just keep playing with her, treating her when she with you. When she comes out of her crate "YAY!!" treat! When she goes in "YAY!" treat. When she walks outside, even with you bringing her out there "YAY!" treat.. everything for the next few weeks should be solely based on you bonding with her, and making you the best things she's ever seen.

I just purchased a mix. The father was s purebred mother was a lab. I purchased her from an amish couple and the conditions were as follows.
a runner leading into a 12x8ft shed.
brother and mother were also in the runner.
here is the big issue. First she doesn't really even know what grass is so she is hesitant to walk on grass but dirt is ok.
she is afraid of everything. If I go outside and sit in my chair she will walk up and sit next to me. She wont come out of her crate so I have to pull her out. Sames goes for putting her back in. She doesn't seem to have the explosive energy my neighbor s do.
shes up to date on shots.
But I would like some advise and maybe a reason for her behavior/how/when I should work on it.
right now I am taking her out out of her crate. Leading her outside for 2 hrs and bring her back inside her crate for an hour. Then I do it all over again.Thus im trying to get her acclimated to going outside snd her safe zone(crate)
My advice would be to chill out for a minute with her and just let her get used to things. You have had her for 2 days, she has no idea what to expect or what anything is. So just be positive with everything. If there are treats she loves, use those.. if she likes a certain toy, use that. let her sit in her crate if she is comfortable. She will come out eventually.. she will want to eat, explore, and play at some point.
With Athena, I had to let her come to on her own time. I just made it a really super fun place to be with me. I let her build her trust with me, so if I was in the yard, she knew she could be too. She learned from Titan as well, which wasa huge help. But it did take her a little bit.
She will come out of her shell. She jsut needs time to get used to the new environment. Don't FORCE her, she needs to learn to trust you, then she will be willing to do more things with you.
So my puppy (Taz) is showing slow signs of improvement. I keep a leash on her even inside. She doesn't come to me unless I kneel down for awhile and she checks me out. Se has SERIOUS trust issues. I'm almost done teaching her how to go up and down stairs,(a bit clumbsy). She wont go outside on her own, I have to lead her using her leash indoors to get her outside and she will fight the whole way until outside. She doesn't respond to treats but will eat out of my hand indoors. She lets me know when she wants me to pet her as she will come along side of me but I don't think she knows what affection is. She is scared of concrete big time.
What are my next steps or am I overwhelming her? Car rides? What kind of bonding things can we do together if she doesnt walk on a leash?
|Sorry for the double post. I cant return her to a place without love. There has to be a way to bring her around.
I'd add this post # 8 "Who pets my Puppy or Dog"
The Amish treat their pets like, uh, produce to make money out of. So they could care less about doing the appropriate health/temperament testing/ socializing that makes the best pets.
And there's a reason they a huge portion of the Puppy Mill supplying pet stores. Her not walking on the grass is a HUGE clue that she may have actually spent her life in a cage and not on the runner they said they were using.
That said, she is still a young pup and there is alot you can do to help. First of all, just allowing her time to settle in to a COMPLETELY new and overwhelming situation. Her life and all she knew just got ripped away from her and she had no say in the matter. The fact her life should be better is something you just need to start proving to her!!!
Calm, quiet, giving her time to watch and see what her new life will be like.
But also making her 'work' by possibly making her come out of her crate for food. Putting the crate in a central part of the house (but in the corner) with the door open so she can SEE everything but still feel safe.
She's probably not housebroken, so staying in the crate may be a good thing for you for now
Then I'd maybe start having 100% of the food come from a human's hand. You can carry kibble and treats in your pockets just doling them out all day/night long.

Good luck and can't wait to see pictures.
How old is she?
You have only had her for 2 days, she needs to settle in and get to know you and her surroundings. Keep everything fun and pleasant, don't be too hard on her and don't expect too much from her right now.
IMO I think puppies should be out of their crates as much as possible. They should only be crated when you are not home, when you are sleeping or when you cannot watch them because you are busy. Puppies need to explore, play, socialize and they need to get their energy out.
Also, she is a mix so she will not be like a purbred GSD, she will not have the looks or temperment of a GSD. She could have both breeds temperments combined or she may not.

Mission Statement
The athletic program is important at any college, but is particularly important at Hampden-Sydney because of the overwhelming interest of our students in athletics; approximately 25% of the student body participates in intercollegiate athletics and over 70% in the intramural program. Athletics, quite simply, is vital to the wholeness of the College. Essentially, the program can be divided into several components: intramurals, intercollegiate athletics, lifetime sports, physical fitness, and recreational programs.
As indicated, intramurals constitutes an important element within the athletic program, especially given the large percentage of students who actively participate at this level.
A lifetime sports and recreational program gives students an opportunity to keep physically fit while learning a new athletic skill that can be beneficial later in life.
Intercollegiate athletics plays a significant role at this college, not only because it provides an important outlet for many students, but also because such competition is good for participants. The varsity intercollegiate program can be and is a true character-building experience. One learns from winning, one learns from losing, and one learns from playing the game. One learns something about coping with pressure, commitment, loyalty, self-discipline, sacrifice, and pain--what it takes as well as what it means to compete. When one considers that 50% of all incoming freshmen intend to participate in the intercollegiate programs, then one realizes what athletics means to the College. Many of the best students at Hampden-Sydney are also varsity athletes, young men who come to this college in part to engage in intercollegiate athletics.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 33
I've found couchsurfing doesn't work that well for cities (recently had something 9/12 people not respond for Bristol, one maybe who didn't reply to my next email, and two nos).
But it looks like I'm staying with one of the organizers. Hurray.
Thank you Emma : )
I've used it in some towns in the UK (Leeds I had awesome hosts), and some killer small towns in America (you can read about some of my experiences in the zine I made about my bicycle trip from Vancouver to Portland last summer), but anywhere large was really hard. Drat! Boo hiss.
There's a Halifax in Yorkshire too (guess the one in canada is named after it)- like there's a (smallish, dull) Boston in Lincolnshire too.

I know that I've mentioned before that I have ezcema, which is generally very well controlled. I have to be very careful about what soaps and lotions I use on my body, and little changes can leave me with a rash and very uncomfortable from itchiness.
One of my daily staples for years is this Olay bodywash. Truthfully, it doesn't really seem to matter which Olay wash I use, as long as it is Olay! I wasn't quite sure why this was, and then my dad (also a pediatrician, it runs in the family) showed me a handout on ezcema from a dermatologist. According to this Harvard faculty member, Olay has the highest percentage of oil of any body wash on the market. It is basically 17% Vaseline! No wonder it is so incredibly moisturizing! Without an Olay bodywash I turn dry and itchy. Check it out if you have this problem too, it really does help!

Thanks Christine for the tip. I am suffering with itchy skin and started seeing an allergiest. I will have to try this out to see if it helps. I enjoy reading your blog. I am learning so much!ReplyDelete
Enjoy your weekend!
Once I finish off my Aveeno scrub, I'll try Olay.. Anything to keep eczema away, especially during the winter would be fantastic...ReplyDelete
I love comments! Please ask away, provide info on how you liked something, etc. Note that spam, comments with random links (which I count as spam), anything not in english (again, spam) and comments that are completely unrelated to anything will all be deleted.

Lakeland Police Department Awarded National Accreditation
The Lakeland Police Department is proud to announce that it received national accreditation on Saturday, August 3, 2013 at the Summer Conference in Columbus, Ohio.
To receive accreditation, the Lakeland Police Department had to comply with 480 internationally accepted standards for the operation of police organizations. In April, a team of assessors from CALEA examined all aspects of the Department's policy and procedures, operations, management, and support services to verify they met the Commission's state-of-the-art standards. The process holds the department accountable and sets the bar for professionalism.
On Saturday morning, members of the department appeared before a panel of review Commissioners. Saturday evening a vote was taken and accreditation was awarded to the department.
Chief Womack said, "I am pleased that the Lakeland Police Department has regained their accredited status and thank all of the men and women of this department for their dedication and commitment to excellence." She went on to say, "This department is moving forward and I think this shows our community that this department stands ready to serve them."
This voluntary process towards accreditation means that the Lakeland Police Department is dedicated to providing the best service to the citizens of Lakeland.
For more information on accreditation, go to www.calea.org.
This information is available at www.lakelandgov.net/lpd and on Facebook.

Hanover's Balch Hill area to be opened to deer hunters
By MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent | October 28. 2013 8:41PM
"It's kind of catching up with us that our predecessors eliminated the natural predators for deer years ago," said Adair Mulligan, executive director of Hanover Conservancy, which owns part of the nature area.
The area is a favorite among local hikers and bird-watchers. It has been closed to hunting for the past 10 years.
Mulligan said the deer population "has expanded very dramatically and the deer are overwhelmingly small and thin."
According to a recent study by Dartmouth College students, the deer population is encroaching other wildlife. The deer eat native plant life before having to resort to eating invasive plants, encouraging the growth of invasive plant species and eliminating nesting habitats for native birds, Mulligan said.
"We are certainly seeing a lot of ticks up there," Mulligan said.
The natural area will be open to archers carrying a special town permit from Nov. 1 through Dec. 15. No firearms will be allowed.
Most local residents favor thinning the deer herd, Mulligan said. And people using the nature area during hunting season are advised to be alert, wear bright orange and keep their pets with them on the trails.
N.H. Fish and Game, which is working on a larger regional effort to reduce the deer population in the Upper Valley region, has advised Hanover Conservancy that one hunting season will not solve the problem, Mulligan said, so hunting permits will likely be issued again in future hunting seasons.

Former Republican officials took to the media to pass the buck for Gonzales on torture memo
In the days leading up to the confirmation hearings for White House Counsel Alberto R. Gonzales's nomination for attorney general, former Republican administration officials defended Gonzales in media appearances, attempting to distance him from a controversial government memo pertaining to the use of torture in the interrogation of suspected terrorists.
Douglas W. Kmiec, former head of the Office of Legal Counsel in the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations; Theodore Olson, former George W. Bush administration solicitor general; and Bradford Berenson, former George W. Bush administration associate White House counsel, have all emphasized that the Justice Department issued the August 1, 2002, memo [1], not Gonzales. The three downplayed Gonzales's link to the memo by claiming he was merely seeking legal advice about the permissible scope of interrogation techniques. But news reports indicate that after requesting [2] the memo, Gonzales then aggressively endorsed and implemented its conclusions and recommendations, as reflected [3] in his advice to President George W. Bush.
During the January 5 edition of MSNBC's Hardball, Olson dismissed the suggestion that Gonzales could be implicated in the memo: "One of these so-called indicting things is that he [Gonzales] asked the Justice Department for a legal provision, for a legal analysis of one of the statutes involved." On the January 5 edition of FOX News' Special Report with Brit Hume, Berenson said of Gonzales's role in the memo: "[I]t's not fair to hold against the person who asks the question the answer that he receives." And in a January 6 Wall Street Journal commentary, Kmiec credited [4] (login required) Gonzales with the Justice Department's ultimate rejection of the memo:
Even before confirmation, Mr. Gonzales has demonstrated that no presidential or personal friendship will oblige him to persist in the errors of others. He deserves substantial credit for returning the whole torture memo matter to the Department of Justice for rethinking. It is the hallmark of a wise counselor who has the courage -- even in the face of national embarrassment -- to see error, and to correct it in a fashion that does not undermine the necessary authority of the president to engage in the humane interrogation of those captured in the war on terror.
But the suggestion that Gonzales recognized the problem and took the initiative in "returning the whole torture memo to the Department of Justice for rethinking" is misleading. On December 27, 2004, Newsweek reported [5] that Gonzales distanced himself from the memo only after "Jack Goldsmith, then head of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, told Gonzales he was withdrawing the Aug. 1 [2002] memo" and subsequently resigned. According to a Washington Post article [6], Gonzales -- responding to "pressure from Congress and outrage around the world" -- described the memo as "controversial" and "subject to misinterpretation." But his comments did not come until June 22 -- several weeks after the Post first made the memo public [7]. And it was not until December 30, 2004, more than two years after the memo was delivered, that the Justice Department issued a revised version.
While Gonzales did not write the memo, neither Hardball host Chris Matthews nor Special Report host Brit Hume mentioned evidence that he sought the memo, endorsed it, and implemented its conclusions. Newsweek reported that Gonzales "convened" a July 2002 meeting in his White House office to discuss how far the CIA could go in interrogating detainees, noting that the Justice Department memo came "partly out of the discussions." Newsweek quoted an unidentified lawyer who had attended the meeting as saying Gonzales pushed for the most aggressive interrogation techniques possible, repeatedly asking, "Are we forward-leaning enough on this?" In a January 5, 2005, article [8], The Washington Post similarly noted that it was Gonzales's wish to be "forward-leaning" "throughout this period" that interrogation conduct was being discussed.
Further, Newsweek reported [5] that once the Justice Department issued the memo, Gonzales took the ruling directly to President George W. Bush: "memos reviewed by NEWSWEEK and interviews with key principals show that Gonzales's advice to the president reflected the bold views laid out in the Aug. 1 memo."
And in his January 6 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Gonzales indicated that he may still support what could be the key tenet of the Justice Department memo. As Media Matters for America has noted [9], the memo took the position that even if the acts the administration sought to justify violated U.S. law against torture, that law "would be unconstitutional if it impermissibly encroached constitutional power to conduct a military campaign."
While The Washington Post reported [10] on December 31, 2004 that the revised December 30, 2004, memo "pointedly sidesteps" the contentious issue of executive power, Gonzales addressed [11] the issue more directly. According to a January 7 article [12] in The New York Times, when Senate Democrats "pressed Mr. Gonzales to say whether he agreed with another controversial finding in the memorandum regarding the president's power to effectively ignore a Congressional ban on torture if he found it to be unconstitutional," Gonzales replied, "I guess I would have to say that hypothetically that authority may exist." Also January 7, The Washington Post reported [13] that when the Judiciary Committee members asked Gonzales whether "a president had the power to authorize torture in unusual circumstances," the nominee responded: "I would have to know what ... is the national interest that the president may have to consider."

Learn what John F. Kennedy told newspapers about the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the untold stories of Harriet Tubman and the daily life of Benjamin Franklin at the University of St. Thomas Doherty Library. Doherty recently gained online access to the John O. Whitney Readex Archive of Americana Collection. This premier collection of American history primary source material enriches the University's ability to serve the research needs of the UST community.
The collection is a gift from NewsBank, inc. in honor of John Whitney, a UST professor who has served on NewsBank's Board for more than 25 years.
Dean of Libraries James Piccininni said Readex, a division of NewsBank and a leading publisher of digital historical collections, and John Whitney have given UST students, faculty and staff an extraordinary gift.
"The Archives of Americana gift places the Doherty Library as a leading destination for American history primary source material and Americana, along with a rich collection of historical periodicals worldwide," he said. "This is an unbelievably generous gift that will promote the best of scholarship in our students and faculty."
The Archive of Americana puts tens of millions of pages of primary documents at researchers' fingertips. The acclaimed Archive of Americana enables students and scholars to explore virtually every aspect of United States history, culture and daily life across several centuries spanning from about 1500-1900s. It provides unprecedented online access to newspapers, books, broadsides, ephemera, government publications and more. Allowing cross-collection searching, Archive of Americana collections offer fully searchable facsimile images, superior authority-based indexing, bibliographic records and PDFs that can be quickly downloaded and printed.
It includes material often unavailable to scholars such as imprints held in private collections and other material not typically found in university libraries. With the acquisition of the Archive of Americana, UST is certainly standing in rarified company – with select major academic research libraries, doctorate-granting institutions and top liberal arts colleges.

"Lynne did a fantastic job helping us plan our wedding and finalize details without ever meeting us in person (we had a destination wedding). She was always available to offer advice and suggestions via email and phone calls. On the day of our wedding Lynne did an amazing job decorating our reception venue and keeping our reception in order. Our only complaint would be the DJ that she found for us, but we don't hold her responsible for how he DJ'd our wedding."
Randy HartwickLake Tahoe, NV, USA
"We're only giving him 2 stars because if HE (not his kids practicing) had done what we had discussed, things would have been fine. We used Randy Hartwick, and unfortunately I can't recommend him. Our wedding was used as a trial for his 2 kids to practice DJ'ing a wedding, music had gaps, volume went up and down, our intro was messed up (wrong song played, stopped half way through, started right song, announced names wrong, etc), cake cutting was announced as, "Now it's time to eat the cupcakes." sigh. We knew they were going to be there, we were not aware our entire reception was going to be turned over to them. They were using new equipment that they weren't comfortable with too. Overall, we wish we had just used an ipod, or spoke to more DJ's. We even had to download songs to email him that were current, or popular wedding songs b/c he said he couldn't find them. :( When contacted about our concerns (which were also concerns of everyone who attended as well as our planner) his reply was to deny anything went wrong, that we loved our reception, and he did nothing wrong. Too bad the guests, the video, and the bride and groom say differently. :("

"We have GORGEOUS photos that captured every moment of our wedding day thanks to Sherry. She is an amazing photographer who was friendly, professional, super-talented, and most importantly, non-intrusive on our wedding ceremony. She knows how to take beautiful photos on the lake that aren't washed out, and captured our ceremony aboard the Tahoe Bleu Wave beautifully. We were also excited to receive our final, edited photos so quickly. You can't go wrong with Sherry!"

"We chartered the Bleu Wave yacht from Laura and Ryan Forvilly--and it was perfect!!! The boat was beautiful, the Captain and crew were fun and made us feel great on our special day. We had our ceremony at the base of Fannette Island, in beautiful Emerald Bay, and it was everything we wanted and more. Our guests loved everything about the ceremony, the crew, and the beautiful yacht. It was amazing! The Bleu Wave even picked up our guests at the hotel and brought them to the marina, and returned everyone after the 2-hour Lake Tahoe wedding tour was over. Getting married on Lake Tahoe, on the Bleu Wave, was a dream day for us!"
The Chart House392 Kingsbury Grade

"Love, Love, LOVED The Chart House, their coordinator Whitney, and the food. They were so accomodating, helpful, and the service was great!! We were able to personalize our menu, and decorate the inside room as well as the outside patio/lawn. Everytime I called with a question Whitney was helpful, cheerful, and had great suggestions. To top it all off, we actually had amazing food to eat at our reception!! No boring rubber chicken served here...only delicious huge portions. Our guests were stuffed full by the end of the night! Highly recommend the Chart House for receptions that aren't super big...the downstairs doesn't hold more than 75 people (estimate). Plan your event to coincide with sunset and you will have an amazing backdrop to your wedding ceremony or reception."

Stateline, NV
"We, and most of our wedding party, stayed here for the duration of our wedding weekend. We had a suite, and threw a cocktail party that was catered by the Montbleu. The food was great, the room was big (but outdated), and their customer service was second to none. We felt like VIP's the whole time we were there, as did all of our guests. Their catering department is top notch, the food was tasty, and the personal service from their entire staff--front desk, bellmen, valet, catering, was superb."

Discussion in 'December 2006' started by max, Dec 9, 2006.
At NewJersey Dec 16 8PM tv: WDIV
Interesting game this should be. Facing the team that has very high expectations from almost everyone every year has started off 9-12 with a 6-7 home record. Oh, but that`s enough to lead the Atlantic Division!!! Seriously, the Nets will be there come the end of the season, with the likes of Vince, Kristic, and an aging Jason Kidd they are formidable indeed. I am sure the forumites will be watching very closely for an AJ sighting and perhaps some extended minutes for the Brahma. The Pistons have been free from any lineup altering injuries for the past few years, looks like it`s about to catch up with us. Anyway, put the youngsters in there Flip, this could be a good thing for the long haul...........
Nets lost tonight in Toronto, 90-78. Richard Jefferson didn't play, due to what seems to be a similar situation to Sheed's: a flare-up of his ankle injury from last season's playoffs (Jefferson got hurt in their 2nd round loss to Miami). But Chris Bosh was out tonight as well, and the Raptors still won. Kidd and Carter went a combined 7-29 from the floor...ouch.
I hope Sheed sits. No need to make the injury worse.
Nets got manhandled by Toronto last night. Considering the Raps are without Bosh, Rasho and Garbajosa totally exploited Jason Collins. Our entire goal for this game should be to pound the rock, feed the Brahma, Prince and Mohammed while running mutiple defenders against Carter if he decides to drive. Expect to see a lot of zone if the Pistons are to win. The Nets are stil very good in transition, so we'll have to keep turnovers down and limit the long range attack.
Blakely confirms Sheed is out and predicts Flip will free the Brahma.
I say 16-10 with 2 blocks if J-Max starts............
We should blow these guys off the court. I had a feeling we could've won at Indy but with Jackson packing and getting off rounds they backed away. I say we show no mercy to Kidd and friends.
Joey... "Golden"... Graham. 'Nuff said.
Chat is open, see you soon! http://www.pistonsforum.com/misc.php?do=flashchat
Great win for the Pistons tonight! The big news is that the bench played BIG minutes in the 4th quarter, and they played extremely well. It was tied going into the 4th, and in the first few minutes of that quarter, there were NO starters out there for the Pistons. After a few minutes, Rip came in for Flip Murray (a good switch, Murray had a horrible game), but the other bench guys stayed out there for a few more minutes. JMax, Delfino, Dale, and Blalock all played at least half the 4th quarter, and they did a great job, setting the Pistons up with about a 5 point lead, after it was tied going into the 4th. JMax and Dale both played awesome defense, with 5 blocks between them, and JMax had an absolutely insane dunk earlier in the game--I think I know what one of DrSimp's plays of the week will be! The Pistons lost the lead after Billups and Tay came back in, but they went on a huge run in the last couple of minutes, keyed by some more great D. Rip and CB combined to go 20-29 from the floor, with 53 points between them. Kristic was the big scorer for the Nets, with 27, but Vince had a horrendous game, only 5-21 from the floor. Blalock's first significant minutes of the season were quite successful. Didn't get on the stat sheet too much, but he moved the ball well on offense and played some good solid D. Quite an encouraging debut. He even had a strip on Kidd in the 4th quarter that keyed a fastbreak, which I think ended up with Fino getting fouled and hitting 2 free throws.
microcap OK, I won't bore you with my usual comprehensive coverage and entertaining insight. Death by a thousand cuts From the lost opening tip leading to a Vince Carter triple, this game had Texas chainsaw, steel cage death match road loss written all over it. But we got a ray of hope when Jason Maxiell entered the game, followed shortly after by Will Blalock in his NBA debut. The Nets led 49-44 at the half but surprisingly points in the paint were 16-16 and the Pistons had attempted only 4 three pointers to New Jersey's 12. Who let the dogs out? From the moment Dale Davis hit the court, he brought a lot of toughness that Antonio McDyess and Nazr Mohammed sorely lack. Tangling with European star Nenad Krstic, Davis got the better of the Serbian center and as the game wore on, started to get inside his head. Jason Maxiell was also a force, throughout the fourth quarter, consistently going up for blocks, and contesting everything that was shot over Davis. I had a nice chuckle when Richard Jefferson, who was having trouble getting shots off over Maxiell, drove into the paint and lofted a moonball towards the backboard, obviously conscious of the Brahma's ability to swat balls away. Flip Saunders Kidnapped by Aliens Something is wrong with Flip. He's coaching like a real NBA coach. He used his bench, he rode the hot hand, and he resisted the urge to put his starters in early. He seemed to punish Flip Murray, Antonio McDyess and Nazr Mohammed for less than efforts and rewarded the younger fellas who were wise to make Flip look very smart by playing well tonight. The question is, will Flip be able to keep this up? Is it a mirage or charade? Is Joe Dumars meddling in the bench rotation strategy? Flip played the bench (Delf, Davis, Max, Blalock) for the first 7 minutes of the 4th giving the starters enough rest to close out the game in the final two minutes with 8 straight points. It's my party and I'll cry if I want to I would be totally remiss if I didn't mention that Jason Maxiell and Mikki Moore were going at each other during the late stages of the game. Maxiell had the upper hand, outplaying not only Moore, but his own teammate Antonio McDyess. Dale Davis should be starting at center for this team. He was an absolute enforcer in the paint, and seemed to shed 10 years off his age after throwing Nenad Krstic to the floor in retaliation for receiving an elbow to the head. After he roughly tossed the larger Krstic to the ground, Dale seemed to have an extra two or three inches of lift elevating for blocks and rebounds. Great Pistons victory, this was old school, grind it out, kick their asses, rip their hearts out in their building, humiliate their coach, play the bench, Detroit down and dirty attitude. My good guys: Jason Maxiell, Will Blalock, Carlos Delfino, Rip Hamilton, Chauncey Billups, Dale Davis. My bad guys: Flip Murray, Antonio McDyess, Nazr Mohammed, Tayshaun Prince. My player of the game: Dale Davis. Best quote: George Blaha on the New Jersey Nets - "This may be a funky building, but this is not a funky team".
Good recap Micro. I don`t think Flip was kidnapped by aliens though, he just had a good long talk with Joe D. There is no other logical explanation for Flip`s sudden regaining of his senses, than a good old fashion ultimatum from his boss.
I asked on NBA radio today to Fred Carter who might be the beneficiary of 'Sheed's minutes and I'm glad Flip spread it around. I expected a loss from the Nets, but also heard that Jefferson might not play. Doubly nice win since Jefferson did play and we still beat 'em.
The big news has to be the play of the bench unit of Maxiell, Davis, Delfino and Blalock. The preseason experts described the Pistons as old, slow and lacking depth. Tonight they looked young, athletic and deep. Two play makers, a ferocious inside finisher , a defensive rock and they all got after it on defense. If Flip is such a genius then he should be able to think of twenty different ways of using this unit to our advantage. For the first time I saw the bench bring sustained energy while Chauncey rested. I need to see more of this. If these guys can keep this up, Joe should trade Nasr and Flip M. for a back up three who can defend, shoot the three and pass the ball(Sega trade- Shane Battier).
alec, I think Joe has talked himself into a corner. Either Flip keeps playing and developing the bench, or Joe has to make a move around the deadline. He's said repeatedly (including the pregame tv show tonight) that he can't evaluate the team until they get to the mid-way point, and then muttered a lot of bravado about making fearless trades. So we'll see. I'd rather keep Nazr and trade McDyess if possible. Nazr does have some size, and despite his shortcomings, is outperforming Dice minute for minute.
Just got off Real GM looking for a thousand ways to trade Dyess. Flip Jr is not getting the job done, he absolutely sucks as a so called backup PG and his lazy reaching, half asleep defense irks me big time. The reason the bench looked good tonight has a great deal to do with Will Blaylock. The kid is pure a GRADE-A PG, he is absolutely perfect for what we need right now, a low cost PG to back up an all-star, that is OK and effective playing 10-15 mpg. Lindsey and Flip at the point do absolutely horrible jobs of running the team and getting them into sets. I'm completely convinced that Will wasn't playing because Flip has no idea how to use a pass first, non-scoring PG that just wants to distribute the rock and get the team into their sets. Flip wants his PG to be offensively aggresive i.e. "shoot too much", he doesn't know how to use this pure thoroughbred PG that has mad handles and likes to dish the rock and actually run a fast break correctly, and who knows how to feed the DAMN POST!!!!!! man I'm happy for the kid tonight-ZERO TURNOVERS too!!!!!!!
Absolutely Micro, What a difference to see someone man up down low beside Sheed --and Davis did that. Even when we win, I hav trouble swallowing our soft play down low. Can Davis show Nazi how to play? Just as important was the youth of Maxiel. I have been calling for our need to have a young big in the mix. Tonight, Maxiel did the trick. With Maxiels play, we go from a bit old to young and menacing down on the block. Rip and Chauncey played like all stars. Blalock is a point at least. Too early to tell if he will be effective.
Dale Davis. He comes the closest to giving us what Ben did. And he actually adds a little of the bad boys style. He actually seemed to scare NJ tonight. Dale Davis wants to do the dirty work that nobody else is interested in. I had no idea that this guy could bring this much to the table. It is making me think that this season is not just a big dead end. Nazr showed some surprisingly good passes tonight though. He would be a fine backup center. This game tonight seemed to give us forumites everything we've been asking for from a coaching standpoint. I'm just hoping that once Saunders sees what these guys can all do, he will put them in to win, not just to develop them. This team can be killer if we routinely get everyone involved. It builds comraderie when everybody feels like they are contributing and they all have a role. Oh, and what brilliant performances by Rip and CB!!! And their freshness at the end seemed to be a factor.

Hi All,
Any thoughts (or better yet - resources) on the pros/cons and usability concerns for either of the two design approaches regarding data filters? We've been having this discussion in our department for some time, and I'm just looking for some solid UX/UCD reasoning for either to bring to the table.
Scenario:You're displaying a list/table of data, which has more than 5 columns of data, and spans multiple pages. You want to have filters on at least 4 of the columns, possibly all of them (the point being - there are numerous fields). Your users are average non-technical business managers who are comfortable with computers, but wouldn't have a high-level of experience.
Option 1: Traditional
Option 2: Inline-column (event driven, or with a "search" button)
The advantage of the 'traditional' design is that it is clear that you type in the filters and hit the 'go' button. That doesn't strike me as quite so immediately obvious with the 'inline' design, especially as you haven't shown how you're going to integrate the 'go' button. On the other hand, the 'inline' design makes it much more obvious which text box matches which column – it depends if people are likely to get that wrong with the 'traditional' design.
I haven't seen any studies on this choice before. Maybe you should pioneer it! Get a few of your customers or people in a similar context and get them to try the two designs out, half of them doing one first and half doing the other. See what they do, and see what they say.
Thanks Stevie,
As you stated - those are the main two perspectives and arguments. As always, these things are somewhat subjective and there isn't a hard and fast right or wrong answer. I think I might do a case study like you suggest...
To better explain how the "go" button would be integrated... there are two ways we've addressed it before. You can either add a small "go" button at the far right (on the same row as the fields) or you could do a more ajax/event driven approach (which is a little more technical).
With the event driven approach, the list is filtered "live" as they type. This can be done with a short (.5 second) delay so it isn't filtered on every key press, but rather as soon as they stop typing. This eliminates the need for a "go" button at all. Of course, this introduced a further aspect into the usability/UX...
That sounds like a nightmare to me - a recipe for a database full of typos. Or perhaps the average business manager has considerably better typing skills than I have? (Wouldn't be hard!)
These are search fields, not data entry.... Not sure how that would have any effect on the database? You're right though, if these were data entry fields, it would be horrendous.
Sorry - my mistake. (But I suspect my typing could still produce some interesting results in that scenario!)
You will need to include a 'go' button to make the filter accessible to anyone without Javascript, for a start. You'll also need to consider the typical computer setup of your customers. That kind of funky feature can really slow a site down – I know that at work, our computers are old and useless (not unlike certain colleagues (ahem, did I say that out loud?)), and anything like that is a nightmare to use. I will only Google search by typing into the address bar now, because the live sorting if I use Google's search page is too much of a PITA.
The OP won't need a GO button if this is some internal environment where JS is always on.
However if this is on the web, then agreed.
It might be valuable to know what programs (on the Desktop, or in their mail) these people are already using; that ought to strongly influence which scenario makes most sense.
You can also combine the two: using the first setup, still have the inputs as one long strip, mostly matching the columns below, and then user test which side the submit button goes on (since lower right and lower left aren't always the same, as SitePoint found out after the recent forum upgrade lawlz).
