Spring 2020 classes have resumed online.Please visit
dcccd.edu/coronavirus for additional information and to
learn how to prepare for online classes.
Let's be real: While money isn't everything in life, it certainly is something. Money is what we use to survive in this world. We use it to eat, buy gas, pay rent, see a movie and visit the ER. But our supply of money isn't limitless. We must be wise and manage what we have earned.
Just like there are experts who help you manage your health (doctors) or file your taxes (accountants), there are experts who help you manage your money. They are called financial advisors or counselors. They can help you raise your credit score, lower your debt or set a budget.
Sounds nice? We think so too. Especially for DCCCD students who can get financial advice free of charge.

Subaru Rally Team USA decided to strip the traditional blue and yellow livery from David Higgins' STI at this weekend's Olympus rally in Olympia, Wash. They were going for raw, and went for plain white and bare carbon fiber in place of the flashier colors the team usually uses.
The shift in hues was intended as a clever way to commemorate Higgins' four Rally America National Championship titles. I don't really get it, but ok. The blue and yellow looks cool, but it's nice to see a change. At the end of the day, the stripped down look is certainly preferable to those iridescent faux paint spatters that were so popular throughout the '90s (even thought that look has again become hipster-fashionable as "retro").
But if they were really going for "raw," maybe they could have just painted Higgins and Drew's STI primer gray. If you want to portray basic, there's no better way than that to get your point across.

In the past few months or so, I haven't been very active on Classic-Castle. I wasn't really active with Castle at all either. I went on a journey of sorts, exploring other themes. Due to my lack of space in my room, I could only really have one theme going at a time. However, now that my room has been renovated, I can not only enjoy the seafaring sailors of the deep blue sea, but I can also enjoy the dark, grim aspects of medieval life, all in the same place!
So, this is me, sort of "coming back"' to Castle after a period of inactivity. I'm sure most didn't notice I was gone, but nonetheless. I felt this post was appropriate.

PromoPixie necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 26 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
We are consultants to the specialty food business. Most of our clients need help navigating the waters when creating a specialty or natural food product and successfully launching the brand into the supermarkets and natural food stores. In a nutshell, they are building a brand.
This requires promotion...lots of them from tradeshows to in-store sampling to street campaigns. PromoPixie allows them to find and hire temporary help to get this done. Our team are marketing gurus and will work with the designers on this competition to create the most visually appealing home page. The basic structure is pretty much done. We just need kick butt graphics to show we mean business to site visitors. Most of the links and buttons need to stay where they are so we don't have to rewrite code. The provided layout will give everyone the lines to stay within.
All in all, this project should be a pleasure because we know what we want and we know how to work well with design teams.
Site visitors will be younger females looking for temporary work while they go to college. It will be the retired grandmother who wants to earn some extra cash sampling products. The site will skew younger to the more tech savvy though. Aspiring actresses will like it because it will be a way to pay the rent.
The employers will be everything from small companies to larger agencies. Anyone trying to find staff to help promote a brand. They will be just like the contest holders on this site. Instead of hiring designers like you, they will be looking for temporary help at tradeshows and in stores for demos.
For the most part, I prefer that we stay within the boundaries of the attached structure because that will not upset the coding layout we have done so far.
The main point of this contest is to get us a much more appealing graphical showing for the home page.
Some of the clip art we have right now is very cheesy. I have attached real pictures to show how that can work. I also have varied the site from where it is right now to tweaks using my lame Photoshop skills just to give you some ideas.
Once the graphics are done, I will need to have the names of all fonts you used. Best to have these available on a PC platform as well as Mac because we will need to incorporate those in other docs going forward.
We have a lot of discretion on all of the graphical elements. Especially at the bottom of the home page. If you have any questions, please ask. I am very responsive even over the weekends.
Good luck and thanks for helping.

Drinking and Driving: Tales from Tobacco RoadPosted by nvr1983 on June 6th, 2008
It was just around 2 years ago that a fresh-faced youngster from Duke University decided to pop back a few Zimas (along with his collar) and take a late night drive around Durham before the NBA Draft. Now comes news out of Chapel Hill that Ty Lawson (basically the antithesis of Redick–UNC, black, athletic, no shot versus Duke, white, unathletic, and great shot) decided to do essentially the same thing. Let's take a look at the results.
Two years ago, J.J. Redick stumbled into the Durham County Jail:
Polo shirt + bleary-eyed look + messed up hair + semi-popped collar = Perfection
After seeing what the ACC's all-time scorer did 2 years before, let's see what Lawson was able to pull off:
First off, Lawson looks pretty normal here. He looks pretty composed and is staring straight ahead at the camera. If I didn't know better, I would have thought this was his team photo from the look on his face. If Ty wants to move into J.J. territory and possibly land on The Smoking Gun he needs a lot of work. I'm not a fan of the white t-shirt for these photos, but at least spill something on it. Show a little effort, Ty!

|One of the many "unofficial" DVD releases of Let It Be
"Let It Be" director Michael Lindsay-Hogg, who has been making the rounds to promote his autobiography Luck and Circumstance: A Coming of Age in Hollywood, New York, and Points Beyond spoke about The Beatles in an interview with radio station WNYC-FM. "We have been working on it pretty much every year for the last couple of years. And the plan is, at the moment, to have it come out, I think, in 2013," Lindsay-Hogg said.
He says that second disc will be filled with the film's outtakes. "When we first put 'Let It Be' out, I had to cut out a lot of stuff that I really like and wanted to stay in there. The stuff in the new DVD has a lot of the stuff that had to be cut out. So for me, it's like the egg is now complete." Lindsay-Hogg also directed the Beatles' TV show "Around The Beatles", the promotional videos for "Paperback Writer," "Hey Jude" and "Revolution," as well as The Rolling Stones - Rock and Roll Circus
A home video release of "Let It Be," featuring outtakes and additional footage highlighting the making of the 1970 documentary, would follow a planned DVD release of the band's self-directed 1967 TV special "Magical Mystery Tour" in 2012, according to Beatles Examiner.
Both films were briefly available in various now dated formats (various video cassette systems and video discs) in the early 1980s, and "Magical Mystery Tour" was also out on DVD in the USA in 1997, but is now a collector's item. Unfortunately one of the restored prints for the 1988 video cassette was overlooked when releasing the DVD and they used an inferior version of the film. Beware of an even more inferior pirate edition by the Avenue One label, which is freely available in shops.

text: A chancellor for our timesSpring 2010 Home article > a message from Dr. Burt Above, down, inside out—and Down Under Welcome Dr. Marchiori as Chancellor To paraphrase B.J. Palmer, Chancellor Marchiori knows this College above, down and inside out. He's gone from being a student to a faculty member, a research scientist, an administrator and now, the chancellor. Credentials like that make Dr. Marchiori uniquely qualified to be our chancellor. Full coverage of his inauguration begins on page 14. Alumni Down Under show overwhelming support At the CAA conference, Palmer was the only chiropractic college to have a booth. Here I'm with, from left, Ed Devereaux, D.C., Keith McDowall, D.C., Davenport '65, and, to the right of me, Dr. Donald McDowall. Last year, the Alumni Office was asked if someone from the College would be able to attend the Palmer Alumni Reunion Dinner in Canberra, Australia. The request came from Donald McDowall, D.C., Davenport '75, who, along with Davenport Campus alumni John Waterhouse, D.C., '66, and Joe Ierano, D.C., '97, were organizing the dinner to coincide with the annual Chiropractors' Association of Australia conference in October. Whether it was Dr. McDowall's enthusiasm or his ability to keep more than 450 Australian alumni connected to each other and to Palmer, I gladly accepted the invitation. Our office then used Canberra's close proximity to Australia's two largest cities, Melbourne and Sydney, to schedule as many individual visits with alumni as possible. The first person I met at the conference was Jerry Power, D.C., Davenport '74, who I hadn't seen since college. He introduced me to other fellow classmates and treated us like royalty. Jerry was, like so many other alumni we met over the next two weeks, so proud to be a Palmer graduate and so pleased to be able to meet somebody from Palmer. It made me realize how important it is for us to stay in touch with our international alumni. I also attended the Palmer Alumni Reunion Dinner, which drew many appreciative alumni. All told, between the conference, the dinner and the road trips—where I was welcomed into the offices and homes of Palmer alumni—I spoke to close to a quarter of all Palmer graduates in Australia. While we knew that we were going to meet a lot of people Down Under, we weren't prepared for the quality of relationships that we would build. That's one of the things I love about my job, that I have the ability to travel for the College and meet and interact with alumni who are passionate about Palmer—no matter where they live. It's not a job. It's really a privilege. article >

Last week I introduced you to a cool project I'm participating in called One Million Acts of Green (OMAOG). If you haven't yet read my intro post, I invite you to check it out.
Today I want to talk briefly about one of the ways we've chosen to "Go Green" in my house and that is by rarely, if ever, eating beef. Here's a weird but true fact from OMAOG about cows:
Cows are a major contributor to greenhouse gases. As the old adage says, what goes in must come out, and for cattle, a lot of what comes out is methane gas. And just like carbon, methane gas gets trapped in our atmosphere. Since the 1960s, the amount of methane in the air has increased by 1% per year—twice as fast as the build up of carbon dioxide. As worldwide demand for beef increases, so do the number of cows and the methane they produce. Also, in many countries around the world, forests are being clear cut to make room for growing beef. Cutting down trees reduces the planet's ability to absorb carbon dioxide.
- You can decrease the demand for beef by pledging to complete this Act of Green: Eat a Vegetarian Meal This Week.
Also, if you haven't yet heard of Meatless Monday, you might want to schedule your vegetarian meal of the week for Mondays to coincide with it (and maybe even plan on going meatless for the entire day). Meatless Monday is a non-profit initiative (totally unrelated to OMAOG) that provides recipes and info to start each week with healthy, environmentally friendly meat-free alternatives. The goal of Meatless Monday is "to help you reduce your meat consumption by 15% in order to improve your personal health and the health of the planet."
At our house for dinner tonight we had eggs with spinach, salsa and cheese. We tend to eat about 50% of our meals without meat and although I don't always schedule them to coincide with Meatless Monday, today it just worked out. (In other words, I was feeling lazy and eggs were a quick and easy dinner. *wink*)
If you eat meat, do you take a meal or day (Meatless Monday) off from it each week? If not, would you try it?
- Register at One Million Acts of Green and log your first Act of Green: Eat a Vegetarian Meal This Week. Remember, you can see the impact of each of your Acts of Green. They all add up and will help the United States reach its goal of completing one million acts of green (and beyond!). 🙂

| 11.2°C Belfast
Billy Connolly has revealed his Parkinson's disease was first diagnosed by a fan who saw him walking strangely through a hotel.
The comedian announced in September that he had had successful surgery for prostate cancer and was being treated for early symptoms of Parkinson's, which he said was spotted by a fan who is a doctor while he was in the US.
According to the Daily Mirror he told a US radio station: "It was the strangest thing of all. I was walking through the lobby and every time I had gone through there was a crowd of boys and girls and a couple of adults. It turned out they were dancers from Australia.
"The guy who was in charge of them came over to me one day and said 'Billy, I'm a big fan, I'm from Tasmania'. He said, 'I'm a surgeon and I have been watching you walking, you have a strange gait'. That was the way he put it.
"He said, 'You're showing distinct signs of early onset Parkinson's disease, see your doctor'."
Billy continued: "I think it was the way I held myself when I was walking. Then they did blood tests and various other little bits and pieces and told me I had it."
Talking about how his illness is affecting him, he said: " I don't see much shaking going on and I have always had a s***** memory anyway.
"I have forgotten things my entire career. I was taking drugs to control the Parkinson's but I'm not on them any more."

Firefighters had an aggressive wildfire in Riverside County 20 percent contained Tuesday night, but noted that the blaze still has "extreme" potential to grow.
The blaze charred rugged terrain near Lake Elsinore, spreading along heavy chaparral and coming dangerously close to homes. The blaze was estimated to be 1,400 to 1,500 acres and some 1,000 firefighters were working to contain it, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
The Falls Fire in Southern California's Cleveland National Forest, about 70 miles southeast of Los Angeles, was reported about 10 a.m. Monday near Ortega Highway (SR-74) at Decker Canyon, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.
Local news from across Southern California
Send Fire Photos to email@example.com | Photos: Falls Fire Burns Near Homes
A smoke advisory was issued Tuesday for the surrounding area by air quality officials, who warned that portions of the Perris Valley, Lake Elsinore and the Temecula Valley may have unhealthy air.
The fire came close to homes Monday evening, frightening some residents who decided to stay in the evacuated areas.
"There was about a 50-foot wall of flame coming right towards us," said homeowner Edgar De La Cruz. "And next thing you know, the wind died down and it gave the helicopters a chance to do what they do."
No homes have burned, but fire officials said there were reports of damage to other structures.
Evacuation orders for residents in Lakeland Village were lifted at 9:30 p.m., according to the Riverside County Fire Department. Residents of Decker Canyon remained under mandatory evacuation orders early Tuesday.
An evacuation center was established at Lakeside High School in Lake Elsinore.
Highway 74, which winds through the forest, was closed between Grand Avenue and Antonio Parkway.
Humidity levels reached 95 percent early Tuesday and winds were calm. Conditions are expected to change Tuesday afternoon when temperatures climb into the low-90s.
Temperatures in the area reached 93 degrees Monday evening with wind gusts of 9 mph, according to the National Weather Service. Humidity in the area hovered around 29 percent.
More than 360 firefighters and aerial units, including air tankers, were assigned to the wildfire. Containment estimates were not available Tuesday morning and a cause has not been determined.
Fire officials said the area probably has not burned for 20 to 30 years.
A modified DC-10 aircraft soared over the fire Monday afternoon, dropping a line of fire retardant on the hillside above the homes.

Smith's Bible DictionaryDress
This subject includes the following particulars:
Easton's Bible Dictionary
(1.) Materials used. The earliest and simplest an apron of fig-leaves sewed together (Genesis 3:7); then skins of animals (3:21). Elijah's dress was probably the skin of a sheep (2 Kings 1:8). The Hebrews were early acquainted with the art of weaving hair into cloth (Exodus 26:7; 35:6), which formed the sackcloth of mourners. This was the material of John the Baptist's robe (Matthew 3:4). Wool was also woven into garments (Leviticus 13:47; Deuteronomy 22:11; Ezek. 34:3; Job 31:20; Proverbs 27:26). The Israelites probably learned the art of weaving linen when they were in Egypt (1 Chronicles 4:21). Fine linen was used in the vestments of the high priest (Exodus 28:5), as well as by the rich (Genesis 41:42; Proverbs 31:22; Luke 16:19). The use of mixed material, as wool and flax, was forbidden (Leviticus 19:19; Deuteronomy 22:11).
(2.) Colour. The prevailing colour was the natural white of the material used, which was sometimes rendered purer by the fuller's art (Psalm 104:1, 2; Isaiah 63:3; Mark 9:3). The Hebrews were acquainted with the art of dyeing (Genesis 37:3, 23). Various modes of ornamentation were adopted in the process of weaving (Exodus 28:6; 26:1, 31; 35:25), and by needle-work (Judges 5:30; Psalm 45:13). Dyed robes were imported from foreign countries, particularly from Phoenicia (Zephaniah 1:8). Purple and scarlet robes were the Marks of the wealthy (Luke 16:19; 2 Samuel 1:24).
(3.) Form. The robes of men and women were not very much different in form from each other.
(a) The "coat" (kethoneth), of wool, cotton, or linen, was worn by both sexes. It was a closely-fitting garment, resembling in use and form our shirt (John 19:23). It was kept close to the body by a girdle (John 21:7). A person wearing this "coat" alone was described as naked (1 Samuel 19:24; Isaiah 20:2; 2 Kings 6:30; John 21:7); deprived of it he would be absolutely naked.
(b) A linen cloth or wrapper (sadin) of fine linen, used somewhat as a night-shirt (Mark 14:51). It is mentioned in Judges 14:12, 13, and rendered there "sheets."
(c) An upper tunic (meil), longer than the "coat" (1 Samuel 2:19; 24:4; 28:14). In 1 Samuel 28:14 it is the mantle in which Samuel was enveloped; in 1 Samuel 24:4 it is the "robe" under which Saul slept. The disciples were forbidden to wear two "coats" (Matthew 10:10; Luke 9:3).
(d) The usual outer garment consisted of a piece of woollen cloth like a Scotch plaid, either wrapped round the body or thrown over the shoulders like a shawl, with the ends hanging down in front, or it might be thrown over the head so as to conceal the face (2 Samuel 15:30; Esther 6:12). It was confined to the waist by a girdle, and the fold formed by the overlapping of the robe served as a pocket (2 Kings 4:39; Psalm 79:12; Haggai 2:12; Proverbs 17:23; 21:14).
Female dress. The "coat" was common to both sexes (Cant. 5:3). But peculiar to females were (1) the "veil" or "wimple," a kind of shawl (Ruth 3:15; rendered "mantle, " R.V., Isaiah 3:22); (2) the "mantle," also a species of shawl (Isaiah 3:22); (3) a "veil," probably a light summer dress (Genesis 24:65); (4) a "stomacher," a holiday dress (Isaiah 3:24). The outer garment terminated in an ample fringe or border, which concealed the feet (Isaiah 47:2; Jeremiah 13:22).
The dress of the Persians is described in Dan. 3:21.
The reference to the art of sewing are few, inasmuch as the garments generally came forth from the loom ready for being worn, and all that was required in the making of clothes devolved on the women of a family (Proverbs 31:22; Acts 9:39).
Extravagance in dress is referred to in Jeremiah 4:30; Ezek. 16:10; Zephaniah 1:8 (R.V., "foreign apparel"); 1 Timothy 2:9; 1 Peter 3:3. Rending the robes was expressive of grief (Genesis 37:29, 34), fear (1 Kings 21:27), indignation (2 Kings 5:7), or despair (Judges 11:35; Esther 4:1).
Shaking the garments, or shaking the dust from off them, was a sign of renunciation (Acts 18:6); wrapping them round the head, of awe (1 Kings 19:13) or grief (2 Samuel 15:30; casting them off, of excitement (Acts 22:23); laying hold of them, of supplication (1 Samuel 15:27). In the case of travelling, the outer garments were girded up (1 Kings 18:46). They were thrown aside also when they would impede action (Mark 10:50; John 13:4; Acts 7:58).

International Standard Bible EncyclopediaDRESS
In the Hebrew and Greek there is a wonderful wealth of terminology having to do with the general subject of dress among the ancient Orientals. This is reflected in the numerous synonyms for "dress" to be found in English Versions of the Bible, "apparel," "attire," "clothes," "raiment," "garments," etc. But the words used in the originals are often greatly obscured through the inconsistent variations of the translators. Besides there are few indications even in the original Hebrew or Greek of the exact shape or specific materials of the various articles of dress named, and so their identification is made doubly difficult. In dealing with the subject, therefore, the most reliable sources of information, apart from the meaning of the terms used in characterization, are certain well-known facts about the costumes and dress-customs of the orthodox Jews, and others about the forms of dress worn today by the people of simple life and primitive habits in modern Palestine. Thanks to the ultraconservatism and unchanging usages of the nearer East, this is no mean help. In the endeavor to discover, distinguish and deal with the various oriental garments, then, we will consider:

We've been unschooling for a relatively short period of time, but over the past couple of months I felt like things had really started falling into place. I felt like I gained an understanding of what unschooling is all about — and what it isn't. Like I was saying YES more often than saying NO and it felt good. Like I could let go of the little things and not sweat the small stuff. Like I started to really "get" what my kids needed from me and how to provide it. And we were all getting along SO. WELL. And it felt great. And perhaps I started to get a little self-righteous 'cause I knew what I was doing (or at least I thought I did). That's where I made my first mistake — thinking I had it all figured out.
And then this thing happened that shattered my confidence in my skills as an unschooling mama and as a parent in general…
The long and the short of it is that there was a misunderstanding between me and my 8-year-old daughter Ava and it turned into an ugly, UGLY, sad battle of wills (good Lord, we are both stubborn as hell!) that left both of us in tears.
I thought my husband had told her one thing and I was trying to support what I thought he'd said. Turns out (I learned the next day) that he never said it. (Had I just asked him what he had told her instead of assuming, I'm pretty sure the whole thing could have been avoided. Yes, that is what you get when you assume.)
That night I pretty much went against everything I had learned and been doing for the past couple months and I'm sure that caused an enormous amount of confusion and frustration on my daughter's part. And once we were in the thick of our "battle of wills," I didn't know what to do. Should I "give in" and rescind what I told her? Will that be "letting her win?" Do I stand my ground no matter what the price? Does it really matter if she does X, Y or Z? Do I even know a damn thing about anything right now??
Ugh. UGH!!!
We were obviously not going to get anywhere continuing what we had been doing. I felt terrible and was at a total loss. I had no idea what to do other than to pick up my phone, retreat into my bathroom, close the door and ask for help.
I texted my good friend Rebecca (also an unschooling mama) to ask for her advice. She listened. She reassured me. And she gave it to me straight, but without judgement. It helped me sooooo much. I also let myself feel my feelings (something I think my sister Carrie would have been proud of) and let myself cry. And I had a little talk with myself, "You don't have to know what to do 24/7, Amy. It's OK to make mistakes."
Once Ava had calmed down and I had taken several deep breaths, I took Rebecca's advice and talked with her (Ava). I let Ava see that I'd been crying. I told her how I was feeling. I apologized for our fight and told her that parenting can be hard stuff and I don't always know the "right" thing to do. She came to me for a very welcome hug and we sat together for a while.
Eventually I asked her if she had any suggestions on what we should do (one of Rebecca's tips). Guess what? She did! We came to a solution together and it all worked out — not the way I had thought it would when our "fight" first began and probably not the way Ava anticipated either, but it worked out and nobody was in tears. Nobody felt that they hadn't been heard. Nobody went to bed that night feeling defeated.
I later came across this quote from Buddha that I think illustrates nicely one of the things I learned that night:
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.– Buddha
Although that night didn't go "according to plan," with the help of my friend, working through my feelings and talking with Ava, I conquered myself. And that kind of victory was pretty sweet.

Think getting around town is tricky today, with the rush-hour hassles and headaches?
Picture sharing the roads, rails and airports with a million more people. By 2030, the population of San Diego County is expected to swell by that amount.
The region's long-range planning agency is poised to update its blueprint for avoiding relentless gridlock when it meets on Friday.
The San Diego Association of Governments board is set to vote on its 2030 Regional Transportation Plan, the local bible for all things transportation.
The inch-thick document, last updated in 2003, outlines $57 billion worth of projects – from improved train service and truck routes, to more car pool and toll lanes.
It proposes, for example, that toll lanes be built by 2030 along two major freeways – Interstate 5 from Oceanside to Orange County and Interstate 15 from north Escondido to Riverside County.
"It's attempting to give San Diegans more travel choices, knowing that in the next 23 years we're going to add another million people," said Gary Gallegos, SANDAG executive director.
Critics contend that the plan shortchanges public transportation and fails to fully spell out how the projects will be funded.
Some also believe that a related environmental impact report does not adequately gauge the impact of the projects on greenhouse gas emissions.
In a recent letter to SANDAG, the local environmental group Save Our Forest and Ranchlands said the plan focuses too much on cars.
"The San Diego region would continue to be plagued by many of the same crises currently affecting the region: sprawling development patterns, dwindling open space, over-dependance on the automobile and unacceptably poor air quality," the letter says.
Others have said the plan doesn't do enough for workaday motorists.
Gallegos said his agency is trying to reconcile those clashing views by offering something for drivers as well as public transportation advocates.
SANDAG executives noted that even if all of the projects are built, commuting times will continue to creep up across much of the region because of the population boom.
The agency, for example, calculates that traveling from Escondido to downtown San Diego at rush hour today takes an average of 66 minutes. That includes time spent hunting for parking and driving city streets.
By 2030, if SANDAG sticks to its transportation blueprint, that same drive will take 77 minutes.
If no further road improvements are made, beyond the major changes in the works along Interstate 15, the trip would take 81 minutes.
By contrast, those riding public transportation from Escondido to downtown would see their commute time drop under the plan – from 90 minutes today to 62 minutes in 2030. Starting next year, express buses on I-15 will travel on an expanded network of car pool lanes.
Money for the projects would come from a mix of sources, including federal funds and TransNet, the region's voter-approved sales tax for transportation.
The San Diego County Taxpayers Association has said the $57 billion worth of projects relies too much on future tax and fee increases, including toll-lane income and gas-tax hikes.
SANDAG officials said it's reasonable to expect some government fees and taxes to increase over the 23-year life of the plan. Plus, Gallegos said, to build at a pace needed to keep up with the population, "we've got to find some other sources of revenue."
The plan stresses the importance of linking roads and other transportation networks to homes, schools, work places and shopping.
It includes a map showing existing and potential so-called live-work-transit hubs countywide, including in Poway and Otay Mesa.
The updated plan follows months of hearings and extensive consultations involving SANDAG, the county, transportation agencies and the region's 18 cities. More information is available at www. sandag.cog.ca.us.
Many of the projects listed are near completion, including new car pool and bus lanes on Interstate 15 and the Sprinter commuter rail in North County.
Among the plan's other highlights:
-Hauling goods. The document lists several projects aimed at improving the movement of cargo, including an expanded highway network near the U.S.-Mexico border.
-New lanes. By 2030, car pool or toll lanes would run along most freeways, similar to the FasTrak lanes now on part of I-15. Toll lanes would be added to the northern reaches of I-5 and I-15 and to a planned state highway in east Otay Mesa.
-Mass transit. More express buses would work the freeways, while an expanded rail system would allow officials to improve service on existing trolley and commuter rail lines.
-Biking. The plan calls for a larger network of regional bike routes, some of them running parallel to planned highway improvements.

175g butter, softened
Zest 1 orange
2 tsp poppy seeds, toasted (I omitted the seeds)

Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Butter a deep, medium-sized loaf tin (about 20 x 10cm, measured from the top), then line the base with a rectangle of non-stick baking paper. Put the marmalade into a small pan, heat gently until melted (or use a microwave proof jug or bowl, then cook on High for 30 secs). Beat in the yogurt, then let cool for a few mins.

I've bind an XML file to a ListBox.
Everything's working right..but the XML file is read as a resource for now...what I would like is being able to read it from the users/appdata/roaming folder! (that's where user's data are saved..so I would like to be able to read from there too!)
So, how should I adapt that 'Source=""' part to reference the users/appdata/roaming folder?
Hope that I'm clear! Thanks for your help!

I'm often asked by patients how much water they need to drink each day. The Institute of Medicine has calculated that men need about 13 cups or three quarts of liquids and women need about nine cups or two quarts of liquids daily. We also ingest approximately 2 ½ cups, or 20 percent of our daily intake of liquids from food, especially fruits and vegetables. In addition, beverages that we commonly drink such as coffee, juice, milk and soda are composed mostly of water.
Water makes up 60 percent of our body weight. Every cell and system of our body depends on water. Lack of water causes dehydration, a condition that occurs when the body receives an inadequate amount of fluids, which in turn slows down and eventually shuts down vital bodily functions.
Our bodies constantly lose water from perspiring, breathing, urinating and having bowel movements.
Various factors determine just how much more water we may need to drink, such as:
– Environment — Hot weather, especially with high humidity, increases perspiration. Even in frigid weather, water is lost from our bodies when breathing during activities such as skiing or hiking.
– Exercise —Also increases perspiration. The more prolonged and intense the exercising, the greater the fluid loss is.
– Illness — Intense or prolonged vomiting and/or diarrhea can lead to life-threatening dehydration. This is an unfortunate cause of death in many developing countries.
– Pregnancy and breast feeding — Increases women's fluids needs.
After hours of prolonged exercise with heavy sweating we lose electrolytes, especially salt. This is when drinking a sports drink is recommended because it will not only replace the lost water but also the depleted electrolytes. Electrolytes lost through sweat from mild to moderate exercise, can be replaced from the food we eat.
Some liquids can act as a diuretic, which means they cause you to urinate more liquid than you've taken in. Caffeine is often implicated, but is really a weak diuretic. Alcoholic beverages on the other hand, especially at higher quantities, can be very potent diuretics causing dehydration which is a major cause of a hangover.
A rough guide as to whether or not you are consuming enough water is to check your urine color. If it appears light yellow, like lemonade, you're probably well-hydrated but if it is very dark yellow, like apple juice, you need to drink more water.
To keep your body healthy:
– Drink a glass of water or other low or non-calorie beverage with each meal and between each meal.
– Drink water before, during and after exercise.
Bottoms up!

Galvanic skin response (GSR), also known as skin conductance, electrodermal response (EDR), psychogalvanic reflex (PGR), skin conductance response, skin conductance level (SCL) measures the electrical conductance of the skin, which varies with its moisture level. Skin conductance is used as an indication of psychological or physiological arousal, because the sweat glands are controlled by the sympathetic nervous system.

A record of the court. A paper is said to be filed when it is delivered to the proper officer to be kept on file as a matter of record and reference. But in general the terms file and the files are used loosely to denote the official custody of the court or the place in the offices of a court where the records and papers are kept. The file in a case includes the original complaint and all pleadings and papers belonging thereto.
A clerk files a document by endorsing it on the date it is received and retaining it in his or her office for inspection by the parties that it might concern.
1) v. to deposit with the clerk of the court a written complaint or petition which is the opening step in a lawsuit and subsequent documents, including an answer, demurrer, motions, petitions, and orders. All of these are placed in a case file which has a specific number assigned to it which must be stated on every document. The term is used: "When are you going to file the complaint," or "The answer will be filed tomorrow." 2) n. the master folder of a lawsuit kept by the clerk of the court, including all legal pleadings (pages) filed by both sides. Each case file has an assigned number, and each document in the file must have a stamp showing the date it was received and the name of the clerk who received it. Any document which is filed must be served on the opposing attorney, usually by mail, except that the first paper filed (complaint, petition, motion) must be served on all defendants personally (hand delivered by a process server). 3) n. the record an attorney keeps on a case, containing all papers deposited with the clerk, as well as all correspondence and notes on the case.

From The Editor
By Carol Berkin
Everything that American children of my generation knew—or thought they knew—about Indians, or Native Americans, came from Saturday afternoon cowboy and Indian movies. We knew that they talked funny; they all lived in teepees; they were skilled horseback riders; and they hunted buffalo. Mostly, they painted their faces with war paint and tried to kill our favorite cowboy hero and innocent settlers who were trying to farm the land or herd the cattle.
We did not know better then; today we do. This is due in large measure to the careful and thoughtful work of historians, archaeologists, and anthropologists, and to the compilations of many tribal traditions by American Indian scholars themselves. These scholars, and their colleagues in the field of Indian history, are retelling the story of American Indian life from the perspective of the Native Americans rather than from the perspective of those who colonized the Americas after Columbus's voyages. To do this, they have often turned away from the traditional written sources of English and European cultures and looked to the sources familiar in anthropology and archaeology as well as to folklore and oral tradition. And, they have subjected European assumptions of racial superiority to critical reexamination.
They have challenged the old myths, including those that suggest American Indian societies were "primitive," lacked leadership, did not cultivate agriculture, and were inevitable victims of superior European culture and weaponry. In the past four decades these myths have been replaced by the sophisticated and fascinating reconstruction of the complex, varied societies that populated the Americas before, and for centuries after, Europeans arrived in what they called "the New World."
In this issue of History Now, we are pleased to present a sampling of this new and important research. We begin with an essay by Elliot West, "The Impact of the Horse," which immediately establishes the complexity of the meetings between Europeans and Indians. The focus here is on complex exchange rather than simple conquest, and on the impact new resources such as the domesticated horse had on many key aspects of American Indian culture and society. Next, Timothy R. Pauketat reminds us in "Cahokia: A Pre-Columbian American Indian City," that Indian civilizations flourished before there was a nation called Spain or England. The city of Cahokia, with its pyramids, plazas, and sustaining farmlands, reached its peak in AD 1100. Even before its emergence as a center of American Indian culture, there had been other Woodland-era mound-building communities. Why Cahokia declined remains a controversial mystery, but the richness of its culture and the diversity of its population are not in doubt. In "The Pueblo Revolt," Edward Countryman shows us that Indian communities fought to preserve their independence and their way of life against European invaders. In 1680, the people known collectively as "Pueblos" rose up against the oppression of the Spanish who had ruled since 1598. It took twelve years for the Spanish to reestablish their control, and even then, some of the rebel pueblos such as the Hopi were never vanquished. The leader of this successful rebellion, Po'pay, created a unified movement for independence among the many Pueblo tribes, something North American English colonists were unable to achieve until almost a century later. Both Matthew Dennis, in his essay "The League of the Iroquois," and William White, in his examination of "The Colonial Virginia Frontier and International Native American Diplomacy," firmly establish the political and diplomatic sophistication of eastern North American Indian confederations. Iroquois consolidation began almost a thousand years ago, long before the famous League of Peace we sometimes studied in our history books. That League, which joined the Five Nations in central New York, found itself caught between the expanding colonial empires of the French and the English, but through diplomatic skill and great resourcefulness, the League established a neutrality that allowed it to survive. Like the peoples of Iroquoia, the Virginia Indians were not a monolith but a unification of diverse communities. And, here too, as White demonstrates, the most effective weapon in the struggle against Anglo-American and European incursions was diplomacy. Virginia Indian leaders relied on diplomatic solutions in their dealings with colonial powers, but they also took care to establish lines of communication and patterns of cooperation with other American Indian confederations. By the nineteenth century, the United States' Indian policies had a powerful and often tragic impact on Native American communities. In "Indian Removal," Theda Perdue reassesses for us the motivations and justifications for the removal of the Indians from their lands east of the Mississippi River. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 uprooted long-established communities in order to provide more land for the burgeoning white population. Although Indian removal is most often associated with Southern groups like the Cherokee, Perdue reminds us that the Oneida of New York and the Sauks of Illinois were also subject to forced relocation.
As always, History Now provides critical supplemental materials to these scholarly essays. Our two master teachers, Bruce Lesh and Phil Nicolosi, suggest themes around which classroom lessons might be created. Mary-Jo Kline, our archivist extraordinaire, offers a rich listing of articles, books, and other sources for further reading and examination. Lesson plans are provided for high school, middle school, and elementary level classes. And an interactive map, showing the relocation of Indian tribes, helps you chart their forced migration.
We at History Now wish you a good summer, filled with the perfect combination of relaxation and learning.

Our Circle of Life
Our program of shared stewardship is reflected in our evolving center mandala.
Mandala of Shared Stewardship
The Center mandala, or Circle of Life, represents our primary spheres of activity. These spheres are based on the Five Buddha Wisdoms as they appear in the chant "Gate of Sweet Nectar." ZCLA uses this mandala as the organizing principle for governance. The "Gate" is celebrated every Sunday morning. A DVD of the ritual, along with interviews, is available from the online bookstore.
The Mandala keeps the big picture ever before us and also instructs us in the multi-directional quality of everyday life. Each sphere is a fractal of the entire mandala; every part contains the whole. The practice of Shared Stewardship is to realize and manifest in our daily functioning this underlying interfusion of all aspects of the mandala. All the activities required to maintain and run the Center are carried out as Zen training.
Circles of members have formed to carry out the activities in these spheres. Circles may arise from any part of the mandala; some become established to steward key functions, others arise and dissolve as various needs are addressed and met. All Circles are led by a steward, develop their own purpose and core values in accord with the Center's overall mission, and are linked to the mandala.
The Teachers Circle (teachers-in-training and Dharma successors)
