- Daily Inspirational Message for May 25, 2013
You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not.
– Jodi PicoultSo many times in my life, I have met a new friend and been so excited because finally, I had met someone who seemed to be the perfect pal I had been looking for all my life. Of course, as I got to know them better, they would eventually do something that bothered or disappointed me, and I would learn that they were in fact not divinely designed just to please me. We all have a tendency to focus on the pea under the mattress, by which I mean that one little irritation that really bugs us, as opposed to the vast expanse of our experience that is wonderfully smooth and comfy. No matter how wonderful someone may be, they will sometimes say and do things that disappoint, irritate, hurt or even outrage us. The more we grow to accept and expect this, the easier it is to keep our hearts open to a colorful array of wonderful people, and to enjoy our journeys through life instead of being endlessly upset and annoyed. – Julia Melges-Brenner, editor of Kajama
- Kajama Digest for the Week of May 20, 2013 Change will be the theme this week as the Sun joins Venus and Mercury in the effervescent sign of Gemini. The sign of the twins loves variety, exploring and adventure, so we'll all feel the urge to get out and see new places and meet new people. Thanks to the duality of this sign and the Moon's travels through Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius, maintaining our balance will be much easier than we expect. A rare lunar eclipse will occur on Saturday with the dawning of the Sagittarius full Moon. Lunar eclipses usually come in pairs, but because of May's planetary alignment, a third or penumbral eclipse will happen this month. This will drive home the fact that to advance in any matter, we must get off the merry-go-round we've been riding and reach for the brass ring of the future. Inspiring as these lunations may feel, we'll have to be mindful of tending to our responsibilities and restoring order over the weekend so we are well-prepared to take action on our dreams next week!To find out how all of these aspects will influence your own sun sign, check out your astrological options below:

Choosing Love Over Fear
by Renée Peterson Trudeau"Who wouldn't want to choose love over fear? We prefer to expand and open rather than contracting, shutting ourselves off from one another and from feeling good. Learning to do so, however, involves cultivating awareness and consciously choosing to come from love moment to moment. This takes time, and for most of us, lots of practice."
Nature: A Doorway to God
by Renée Peterson Trudeau"Several years ago, I spent a summer interviewing men and women on how and when they connect to God or the sacred. Number one on the list for 90 percent of them was spending time in nature. Nature is an incredible source of spiritual, as well as physical, mental, and emotional, renewal and connection."
Choosing Happiness
by Renée Peterson Trudeau"We all want to be happy, but where does happiness come from? To be happy, do we need things to be perfect, so that the feeling flutters down upon us like a butterfly on a sun-drenched, perfect-temperature, not-a-cloud-in-the-sky day? Or can we learn to be happy despite our imperfections and old wounds?"

Factory Farming, Yum
Post #1 Rantent Jan 3 2010, 7:58 am
Post #2 Jack[RCDF Jan 3 2010, 8:21 am
Skin to bone, steel to rust, ash to ashes, dust to dust.
From a religious point of view (it's SD, it's required ) we are commanded to take care of the world. Factory farming in conditions like that isn't really what is commanded, so no, we shouldn't factory farm.
From a New Zealander point of view, it's a bad idea. Factory farms for cows and chickens have recently started in NZ if I recall correctly, and most people I know flat out refuse to buy meat from those companies. Again, it's a bad idea. From a productive point of view, it's a GREAT idea. If we were robots, no one would object. But we aren't robots, we're human, and most humans can see that it's, well, inhumane to keep animals in conditions like that. That doesn't mean we need to treat animals on the same level as humans, however. Red classic. I have mostly left SEN except for the Temple Siege 2 forum (hidden to most of you). I am available via PM still, and Skype as JackRCDF. If it is important to you, you will find a way. Otherwise, you will find an excuse. -Unknown Magnificent!

SD does not require religious points of view it is just sorta somewhat acceptable (but not really) because it is valued opinion.
I do not really love chicken. I find duck more delicious. I am against the factory farming of chickens because this close quarters farming increases the chance of spreading a diseases. Philosophy deals with unanswered questions.

Post #4 MEMEME670 Jan 3 2010, 9:08 am
For all of you against.
Assume that factory farming was stopped, only the SAME AMOUNT of land can be used to farm chickens. This would cause your chicken meat cost to rise SUBSTANSTIALLY, to where it would be a luxury. Also, cost of EGGS would go up, which would effect everything that requires them, including cookies, mayonnaise, cakes.... It may be inhumane, but its what we've got to do. I could live with it either way, I for myself am of the mindset that 1. Inhumane is defined by the person speaking, and i tend to find little against animals inhumane unless it is unnecessary cruelty. This i find necessary. |
Post #5 Jack[RCDF Jan 3 2010, 9:21 am
Skin to bone, steel to rust, ash to ashes, dust to dust.
Food in the US is dirt-cheap. New Zealand and other countries without factory farming have got along fine without it for years, and the US could stop and be OK just as well. You say that it's 'necessary', but it's only necessary to keep chicken and eggs cheap. Chicken and eggs are NOT luxury items in NZ, and they wouldn't become so in the USA. All that would happen is that your KFC would be a little more expensive.

yeah...first I like duck better than chicken. (does anyone care that this probably goes beyond chickens?) The eggs and chicken meat are not a necessity so I do no care about the cost of chickens rising. (you can even argue that it is not healthy) You can become a vegetarian. I eat more plant based food than meat based anyways. This post was edited 1 time, last edit by MasterJohnny: Jan 3 2010, 10:48 pm. Philosophy deals with unanswered questions.

Post #7 ProtoTank Jan 6 2010, 6:42 am
Radical change as it may be, shouldn't we consider what is morally good? If we always focus on profit, we will achieve profit. Bravo, pat yourself on the back, we are factory producing living creatures. Anyone can put on a mask and coldly argue the logic behind what is necessary for Profit and Tastiness. That is the easy way out.
It is almost disgusting to see the Line connecting Point A to Point B. I have no problem with killing an animal. In fact, I often go hunting. What I have a problem with is the repeated [forced factory production, and mass execution] of life all to satisfy the taste buds of millions of Americans. I buy my meats from Local Farmers who I trust. |
Post #8 BeDazed Jan 6 2010, 7:38 am
And that is a huge problem for a lot of people.
And factory farming still keeps your local farmer's meat prices down, because if they cost a lot more- then they lose competitiveness. So it's been doing you a favor. This post was edited 1 time, last edit by CecilSunkure: Jan 19 2010, 4:38 am. Reason given: Names in quotes. |
Post #9 Vrael Jan 6 2010, 10:42 pm
It's an interesting dilemma with a number of relevant factors. The first one, which is essentially what has allowed this to come about, is the fact that animals like chickens and cows and such aren't sentient, or at least people have never witnessed them being sentient. There exists a large mental distinction between humans and all other animals, and by separating ourselves from them by this distinction we find it easier to kill them, in the same way propaganda in WWI and WWII tried to make germany and japan into "the enemy" instead of another country full of people, and depicted them as grotesque and inhuman. There are a number of animals rights groups who have various arguments for the intelligence of animals, or that because they are a part of the same world as us they should recieve the same rights as us, but I see a number of problems with this approach. First off, giving a pension and retirement benefits to a kangaroo seems rather ludicrous, seeing as they're incapable of holding a job. Secondly, people do need to eat. If we are to give certain rights to animals, what's to prevent us from giving them to plants as well? The line has to be drawn somewhere in order for mankind to eat. Thirdly, mankind has always eaten meat, so until technology finds some other extraordinary method of sustaining human life, there exists even a "natural" argument for eating animals. So the real question, to me at least, isn't whether factory farming is right, but is there anything we can do to make it more humane than it currently is?
I think the answer is yes, but it's unlikely anything will be done. The first reason for this, is that no one really cares. We're hungry, we want food, kill the animals and give us our KFC. The second reason, is that no one cares about instituting a higher standard of life for these animals. While it would obviously be the more moral avenue, it would require effort and sacrifice on the part of the average american, as has already been noted in the topic it would drive prices up. A third reason might be that the moral conflict involved isn't that large. The fact remains that we have to eat something in order to survive, and for us to eat it, it has to die first. For them to survive, something else has to die for them to eat. If something has to die anyway, is it really that immoral to kill them? Or should we allow them to eat us? |
Post #10 rayNimagi Jan 7 2010, 12:16 am
If anything, the factory farms drive traditional farmers' prices UP because mass-produced goods are cheaper than "old-fashioned" ones. As Vrael said, little is likely to be done in the near future. Americans are stuck in this mindset of cheap food and an unwillingness to change if it requires effort on their part. From another perspective, how can we know if animals even have sentience? Most animals have less-developed brains than humans. |
Post #11 BeDazed Jan 7 2010, 12:25 am
You're not getting the point here. It keeps it down because local farmers have to stay 'competitive'. It's the key word, competitiveness.
If there is no factory farming, chicken prices will immediately skyrocket in comparison to when they were factory farming (ratio, demand stays the same, production goes down, price goes up)- that means local farmers can raise their price to that 'skyrocketted price'. That's why it keeps it down. Of course local farmers chickens are currently more expensive in relation to the factory farmed products, but it still keeps it down. Yeah, please really carefully look at the difference. |
Post #12 Falkoner Jan 7 2010, 1:07 am
The way I see it, is the chicken would most likely be extinct by now if we hadn't cultivated them, and in order to be cost effective and mass produce, this is what is necessary, it's not a great life for the chickens, no, but cmon, we're just gonna kill em and eat em anyway, so why grow them in the lap of luxury?

Post #13 O)MasterJohnny Jan 7 2010, 6:20 am
Because I like my food not raised in a diseased environment. Some of the KFC chickens are like sorta beaten badly so they are bruised.
Do you really want to eat bruised meat? What happened to the quality meats? I do not know about you guys but I like eating my meat that comes from a healthy animal over some diseased, weak, deformed? animal. Those factory farms could at least be more like foster farms. Their prices are pretty ok compared to other chickens and they do not do the caged thing. To that economic standpoint: Why do the free range chicken farms price rise? They do not have to change anything. Only the factory farms need to change so they will have the price rise. People will more likely buy from farmer than factory because its cheaper from farmer.

Quite honestly if I cared more or had the money to do it, I probably would boycott factory farming and only eating farm raised chicken. I probably will in the future. Right now though, it isn't that big of a deal to me to be blunt and honest.

If I can pay 1/4th of the price and have a slight chance my meat isn't going to be quite as good, I'll take it. It's not like they ruin the meat in factory farms, if it was that bad it wouldn't be such a profitable business, and it's not too difficult to avoid damaging the meat.
But the amount of land is a lot bigger, for some animals that we're just gonna slaughter and eat anyway, if you get the same end, why go through such difficult means to get there?

Post #17 EzTerix Jan 8 2010, 2:30 am
I think we should know that fact that factory chickens have added hormones so they could lay more eggs and such. We apparently don't care of these hormones and what they could do to US after eating some many chickens with so many hormones. Who knows what the side effects will be? They may not be short term but there has to be some definite long term tragedy. Let's also try to realize that some chickens are mutating in these farms. They are usually slaughtered and thrown away (who wants mutated meat???) but think if you started chomping down on a mutated chicken...bad for your health ;p.
I'm against the cruelty to those poor crowded torturous mutated factory farms....but like I said we, including myself, eat their meat. If not their meat, then the cakes and pastries and anything that requires an egg. tisk tisk |
Post #18 dumbducky Jan 8 2010, 3:10 am
Citation needed.
How? You digest the meat, not absorb it into your DNA. Unless it mutates so horribly that it becomes poisonous, it can harm you. And a mutation that would make it poisonous is akin to you mutating a third arm. Virtually impossible. Factory farms exist because they are highly efficient. If you get rid of them, we will only have free range chickens. Supply suddenly drops greatly while demand stays the same. Price skyrocket. Prices are set based on the most people will pay. Free range chickens will stay the same price only if the seller is an idiot. The ignorance relating to basic economics and business in this thread is kind of alarming.

Post #19 Centreri Jan 8 2010, 3:14 am
If I were as smart as I think I am...
I'm somewhat undecided and uneducated on the issue, but my first impulse is to put the world on a vegetarian diet. On the other hand, we still want milk, and we still have to keep cows, and it's highly inefficient to give them private suites...
Eh. My approach would probably be to give all animals basic rights, mainly so that they couldn't be beaten (without prior attack, etc), their cages had to be a certain sizes depending on the animal and size of the animal in question, the food has to be of a certain standard, the cages have to be cleaned properly, the government has to approve all hormones and all that cause growth, the government makes surprise visits to check in on the business practices, and the execution has to be done humanely. I'd pay double for KFC if I knew that the animals lived decently. Well, I'd try to throw out KFC and foster nicer and more humane companies, but that's outside the scope of this topic.

Post #20 O)MasterJohnny Jan 8 2010, 3:36 am
I guess when it gets to taste it is subjective (to me that stuff taste nasty). But when you get to like quality of the meat you cannot say it is nutritionally the same or better. Do not say slightly. It is definitely is not going to be good as free range because of all the hormones, diseases, and possible deformity. You do not get the same end. You get better quality meat. Factory farms exist because they are highly efficient. If you get rid of them, we will only have free range chickens. Supply suddenly drops greatly while demand stays the same. Price skyrocket. Prices are set based on the most people will pay. Free range chickens will stay the same price only if the seller is an idiot.

5. | scarlett johansson | ||
1. An actress who showed early promise, but just ended up being a typical floozy who pretends to know what she's talking about.
2.to give head to someone over forty in an elevator and get caught. 3. to have a mushroom nose that turns up, and a wide face with sagging eyes and pouty lips. 1. Too bad about Scarlett johansson, I thought she was tight.
2. Did you hear about Sarah? she pulled a total Scarlett Johansson with Mr. Gorski yesterday. 3. I don't like her face, its a total Scarlett Johansson. |
1. | Scarlett Johansson | ||
One of the hottest things to ever walk this planet. A: Whos that very hot woman over there.
B: O thats Scarlett Johansson |
2. | scarlett johansson | ||
The definition of sexy. Nice lips, breasts, eyes, face and a very sexy monotone voice. She's perfect.
3. | Scarlett Johansson | ||
Young actress who has appeared in many critically acclaimed films, such as Lost in Translation and Match Point. She grew up in New York City and began acting at a very young age, and is now one of the most sought after ladies in Hollywood. And she's gorgeous. Scarlett Johansson is the shit.
4. | Scarlett Johansson | ||
A Hollywood actress who is considered 'beautiful'. This is mainly coz of her boobs (which she insists on showing to the world), because her face is quite plain and her body is average. Typical Male blinded by boobies: "omgomgomg Scarlett Johansson is soo gorgeous! look at her boobies!!!"
Typical Female not blinded by boobies: "Look at her face." Typical Male blinded by boobies: "oh right.. ehm.. omgomgomg look at her boobies! " |
6. | scarlett johansson | ||
overated "actress" who thinks she is the next marilyn monroe. A girl with a very average face who only looks good when heavily made up in artist makeup and hair bleached to death. The only beauty this girl really has is a nice large chest. An actress who is mildly pretty. She is only attractive in the upper torso region. What a shame she's only a scarlett johansson.
7. | Scarlett Johansson | ||
A-list actress deserving of her acclaim. Not beautiful, but somewhat pretty, cleans up well with perfectly applied makeup. Has nice boobies like I wish I had (mine are almost as cute!) A respectable actress known for talent, not immature antics. I hope to be half as successful as Scarlett Johansson.

Symphonic Swine
A former violinist picks up the knife
Jacob Saben, a classically trained violinist and the executive chef at Chicago's newly opened G.e.b. (Graham Elliot Bistro), compares kitchen hierarchies to those of an orchestra, where every player is important. He approaches his plate with the same consideration, in this case balancing a sweet-tea-and-spice-infused pork tenderloin with a spicy pickled-watermelon salad and crisp-fried okra. Serve the dish with a zippy chimichurri for an extra flavor note.
Pork Tenderloin with Fried Okra and Pickled Watermelon
Yield: Serves 4
8 cups water, divided
1 cup kosher salt plus extra for seasoning pork
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
6 green cardamom pods, lightly cracked
1 tea bag of black tea
One 1¼-pound trimmed pork tenderloin
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon hot water
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons rice vinegar
1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced into rounds
2 cups chopped seedless watermelon
¼ cup cornmeal
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons Old Bay spice blend
¼ teaspoon smoked sweet paprika (pimentón)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
12 large okra, stem-end trimmed, halved lengthwise
½ cup buttermilk
3 cups canola oil
About The Chef
While studying music on a scholarship in Olympia, Washington, Jacob Saben worked in restaurants and breweries to pay rent, then continued on his kitchen trajectory at the Culinary Institute of America. Saben cooked at the Herbfarm in Woodinville, Washington, before moving to Chicago in 2008 to join the culinary team at Graham Elliot.

Quick installation, incredible difference.
The best kept secret in the pro pits, our Anti-Vibration Bar Inserts have been a staple since we introduced them in 1999.
A discreet, but incredibly effective component to any serious racer or casual rider, our inserts do a great job absorbing the vibration transferred from the bars to your hand yielding less fatigue and arm pump. Riders have been installing in them in anything with handlebars from quads to superbikes with great results.
Constructed out of brass with an elastomer expansion joint mounted inside of the handlebars. The Anti-Vibration Bar Insert kit comes with different end caps to work with most common wrap around handguards.
Reduces fatigue & armpump
The design and materials used provides a smooth and incredibly controlled feel at the hands.
Used by the best
Many factory teams throughout the world use our anti-vibration inserts to increase control.
Fits most aluminum handlebars
We've created a few variations to fit almost any type of aluminum handlebar. They also work with most full-wrap handguards.
100% American Made.
Take pride in where you purchase your products; we build 100% of this product right here in the US.
What's in the box
- (2) anti-vibration inserts
- All pieces necessary for a complete installation
Application Chart
Applications | Part Number |
Flexx Handlebars | ABI-200 |
7/8″ Aluminum (Renthal and most other aluminum 7/8″) | ABI-200 |
1 1/8″ Aluminum (Renthal Fat Bar, Pro Taper and most oversized aluminum bars with 13.5mm I.D.) | ABI-200 |
All Twin Wall / Double Wall | ABITW-300 |
Handguard Installation Instructions
- Lightly Lubricate the o-ring and bar insert. To much grease will cause the bar insert to spin. Before installing in pro-taper style bars, remove the o-ring and install the insert to make sure that it fits all the way in. If it fits easily, try it with the o-ring on. The o-ring is optional, it may have to be removed on some bars.
- Install the bar insert by pushing only on the allen bolt with a 5mm allen wrench. If you press on the bar insert cap, you will not be able to push it all the way in. This will also damage the expansion piece.
- If installing with hand guards follow the diagram to the right.
- Tighten allen bolt snug, not too tight. Apply the grip over the bar and Bar Insert on the left side. Slide the throttle tube over the bar and Bar Insert on the right side.
Handguard Removal Instructions
- Loosen allen bolt and remove expansion piece. Reinstall the bolt and grab it with channel locks/pliers.
- Gently pull or pry on the Bar Insert out of the bar.

I have these in my Pro-Taper 1 1/8 bars and I love them but I'm changing bars and going to a Fat Bar and I can't remove the inserts. Any helpful tips would be appreciated. I really do like them but I can't afford to buy another set at the moment.
Thank you

Hi Andy,
We have a complete rebuild kit for $20.50, it includes everything but the brass. To remove them, try taking off the end cap and then threading the bolt back into the brass. Grab the bolt with a pair of pliers and work the insert out. You may want to spray some lube like WD 40 to help loosen up the grime. If you have any questions just give our tech department a call. Thanks!

Butterfly Monitors Needed May-September
Butterflies are a key indicator of the health of our prized, remnant ecosystems, like the globally rare dune and swale ecosystem, found in northern Lake County, Indiana, in the Tolleston Strand Plain. To help track butterfly populations in various remnant natural areas, the Southern Lake Michigan Rim Project Office is annually in need of monitors from May through September to weekly collect data on the same route. No experience is required but you will need to attend one of the annual training events. If you would like to learn more, listen to John Henry Drake, Regional Ecologist at the Indiana Chapter, on a replay of an internet radio interview conducted in January 2013. For more information or to sign up, contact John Henry Drake.

Who cares about either Lovely Warren or Tom Richards? Like I said a couple months ago, Democrats have had 40 years of control in this city. Has it improved? I'm looking elsewhere, and as of now, that's Alex White.
So much for the pipe dream of Hollywood-on-the-Genesee.
"Lovely Warren, City Council president and Richards' likely opponent in a September primary, is active on Twitter at #lovelyformayor, and Facebook. "
So what? Anyone who thinks that social media is going to play a significant role in this local campaign is probably one of those who can't walk into a restaurant without slapping their I-Phone down on the table and playing with it throughout the meal. Or who can't drive without texting. Or who's missed the significance of the fact that the root word of "Twitter" is "twit".
Warren may have the MOjo (whatever the hell that means in the real world), but Richards has the MOney. Let's see which is the MOre important come Primary Day.
Does anyone actually need the County Lej?
The same logic that has been in place (and failing miserably) for decades. If a child fails Math, give him two Math classes at the same time, If he fails these, make him go to summer school and then assign him two additional classes. None of which addresses the root problems, and results in the inability to take classes that might better suit the child's abilities and interests, such as Art, Technology and other "elective" courses. I can't tell you how many times I have been called to the office to explain my "poor attendance keeping records" because I was showing 100% or at least regular attendance for a child that was showing in school records as absent from school or missing classes. Only to walk the administrator to class and point out the student happily present and learning. The students would simply skip the classes they were failing and attend the classes they were successful and happy in. At the same time I would constantly hear from Math and English teachers that a student couldn't do basic math or write a coherent sentence, only to show the same student using applied algebraic skills to solve a hands-on technical problem and write the required lab write up. There are solutions, and there are failed practices. Extending a school day to address the issue of truancy is ridiculous. They already, by their absence, have told you what they think about attending school at all, never mind for a longer day!
This news article is really weird. The author asked a very important question (via the article's Headline), but then he apparently forgot to write the correct story, that is, the content of the story does not correlate with the headline (AT ALL). It is very important to ask about logic regarding the so-called "extended-day," which Vargas has been touting as part of the "solution" for addressing very old, widespread, massive, academic failure within the RCSD, i.e., the idea of (according to Vargas) creating additional opportunities for students to have more "time-on-task," which really is an amazingly flawed idea and strategy, especially when considering that, under current school-day--schedules, hundreds upon hundreds of teachers are chronically absent. If, as Teachers' Union President Adam Urbanski was quoted as having said: "Everything being piled on teachers right now has created such an atmosphere of stress and anxiety and feelings of being overwhelmed, that some teachers need the time off just to regroup" --- then what exactly does Vargas expect will happen when the school-day is extended? Also, considering that (under existing time schedules) thousand upon thousands of students, many of whom are among the most needy relative to additional time-on-task, are currently missing huge amounts of school, what exactly does Vargas believe will happen under a longer school day? It is time for [Vargas] to go back to the drawing board, either that, or it is completely predictable, and certain that lots of money and time will be spent on a fundamentally flawed idea, which cannot possibly result in significant academic improvement. Another thing, which is very weird about the article, and others by the particular author, is that he continuously quotes suburban parents, such as "Carrie Remis," and I keep asking who do these, much-quoted, white, upper-middle class, suburbanite, parents represent?
Talk about the gang that can't shoot straight. The Democrats criticized the Republicans for dumping their previous leader, Daniele, b/c he supported them on ONE issue. As if the Republicans care what the Democrats think about internal party issues. THIS is their idea of strategy? Doesn't matter who leads the Dems in the Legislature, they still end up over a cliff.
we need superman, wonder woman and batman to come here and kick his butt
Where was Superman when we needed him most?!
I honestly think that if City objectively (hopefully) looks at the track of these issues, it makes a different point. Ms. Andrews, as minority leader, proposed a law to ban guns from the county office building. That would make sense if she checked ...she would have found out that there was already a law on the books to do that! Before that, she stood up to criticize Republicans for adding a "snow tax"...something done by the city years before. Now she is upet about a pro rata cut in minority member funding...good lady...bad understanding of the issues!
Once more, Morelle puts her out there to ensure that she will never be meaningful in Monroe County. Carrie, you are a great future leader...but, bad at understanding when you are being used!
As a teacher in the district for over a decade, I can tell you that one of the major complaints of teachers and administrators is that parents aren't more involved.
I can also say that some parents believe that advocating for their child means denying any wrongdoing on their child's part... it's always someone else's fault. Also, even when teachers do keep parents in the loop and make frequent phone calls, the students most in need of behavioral modification are not effectively addressed by those parents a vast majority of the time. Any parents who are called more than 2 times a marking period, by the 3rd marking period are pretty much getting those calls so they can't tell the school the teacher didn't let them know.
As opposed to putting out a survey (that Howard Eagle is likely correct in his belief that the impact will be minimal), how about putting the effort into developing a class for parents that will help teach parents how to become effective advocates, and how best to become involved in their child's education. Too many parents do not know how to access the "system" in a meaningful and effective way. I'm sure the district has held these classes before, but they need to hold them regularly, often,. in a variety of places. Many of our least effective parents have not had positive experiences with school, so holding these classes at a school effectively shuts them out. Hold them at community centers and libraries, restaurants and other places around at a variety of times so parents can participate without having to take time off work. If we do this, a survey won't be necessary... we will have done enough to get parents involved. It will then be their responsibility.
I guess this is a good thing, with the jobs it will bring. Satellite transit center? Nobody takes public transit around here unless they're poor and without a car. All I can think of when I see the map is, man, look at all the parking lots. Rochester is just a suburb of Marketplace Mallville.
"How the survey will be used is vague."
LET'S DO OUR OWN SURVEY, I.E., PLEASE INDICATE WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH THE FOLLOWING OR NOT: HUGE NUMBERS OF "parents have complained bitterly over the years that their attempts to become involved are thwarted by school officials or teachers. The district's interest in parental involvement has been a passive-aggressive game, they say — honest feedback isn't welcomed."
The City needs innovation and to recreate itself. It needs to work with the county to make downtown a hub for buisness and culture! Housing stock needs to be revamped. Houses need to be torn down but not to be replaced with cookie cutter hud homes... there needs to be architecture involved to define neighborhoods. You need to spend money inorder to make money! Investments need to be made aswell as commitments. Rochester needs to attract buisness and also ensure it can retain the buisness we have allready! Midtown was innovation that Rochester allowed to die! The Canal thru downtown was innovation that Rochester allowed to die! instead of looking ahead Rochester wallows in the muck and there is no hope or prosparity to be seen! We had big things come here once from Elvis to Metallica and such but now we are passed up! We depended too much on Kodak and Xerox and Baush and Lomb that we passed on up and comming companies! So we don't need to just make the Budget we need to overfill the Budget with Money so that we can rebuild Rochester!!! We need street meat downtown be it vendor cart or food truck... we need name brand stores and resturants... we need buisness's... we need diversity so that downtown becomes a work, eat, shop, be entertained, and live here epicenter... were it is 24/7 activity for all those who work from the people who work shift work to the lawyer who is up late reviewing a case and wants to unwind once he leaves his office... a down town where you can walk, skate, bike, and stop and see local art... stop and see people! then build around downtown neighborhoods that have a pulse that represent the best in urban living that is convienance to walking distance to things. Wegmans is great but it has killed the mom and pop markets in the villages in the burbs and Rochester has also suffered from the lack of diversity wegmans has created due to it's convienance! Yes East Ave Wegmans yippi but what of the west side? Innovation to create Jobs... innovation to create security... innovation to bring Rochester to be known to be innovative!
FYI...there will be people at the County Leg meeting speaking out about the Monroe Community Hospital. Anyone else who would like to speak needs to call 753-1950 to sign up. The meeting starts at 6pm.
Tom Janowski:
If we can't use oil, or coal, or natural gas, what do you suggest we use for energy, cow flatulence? By the way, that was quite a clumsy attempt at a completely irrelevant and gratuitous criticism of Ronald Reagan.
What will I do now? I will shine a harsh spotlight on the staggering hypocrisy of the moonbats and ideologues who whine about CO2 but at the same time delay the inevitable exploitation of our abundant natural gas resources.
This planet is a trivial dust speck whose only significance is as humankind's point of departure into the cosmos. As a concession to the weepy sentimentalists, perhaps we can turn it into nice little museum when we're done with it.
Beebe is a good and honest man. Unfortunately he is a Democrat, which in Greece is code for electoral target practice by the Grand Old Party. There hasn't been a Democratic supervisor in Greece since the Great Depression and there hasn't been a Democrat on the town board in decades. Good luck!
People, whether they are elected officials or regular citizens, are remembered for both what they do and what they do not do.
When I remember President Ronald Reagan, only one thing comes to mind. When faced with the emerging HIV/AIDS crisis, he did absolutely nothing.
Just recently, the world was presented with information that the concentration of CO2 in Earth's atmosphere had reached a distressing milestone of 400 parts per million. The question I have is this: What will YOU do now?
Honestly, I contemplate environmental issues every single day and ask myself what more I can do to help. And honestly, there is not much more I can personally do. My carbon footprint is small. I have been on a self-imposed gasoline limit of 5 gallons per week for over two years.
But there are bigger questions looming right now that must take into consideration the 400 ppm milestone. In light of this milestone, considering development of new fossil fuel resources is nothing short of insane. President Obama needs to stop Keystone XL and Governor Cuomo needs to ban fracking in NY. Elected officials in general need to stop lying. There is not such thing as clean coal. Natural gas via hydrofracking or other means is not a bridge fuel to the future. Natural gas is a detour around efforts to develop and convert to renewable, sustainable and truly clean energy sources. Natural gas is also a U-turn to old thinking. Gas companies and their spokespeople in elected office repeatedly tell us we are sitting on huge reserves of cheap natural gas and this in turn leads back to thinking Americans have energy to waste.
400 ppm is serious. Elected officials and citizens must take decisive action now and demand even more action be taken by all around the world. How we respond to the news of 400 ppm will decide what type of future Earth will have...or whether we have a future.

Observation sent in from Marco Dickson. "Koko Crater, Maunalua Bay on Sept 5, 2012." Thanks Marco!!!
A guess at the species ID.
I took this picture from a pull-out on Oahu, but would have liked to visit this state seabird sanctuary. Wiki says this island is "home to over 10,000 Wedge-tailed Shearwaters, 80,000 Sooty Terns, 20,000 Brown Noddys..." so those are the species that likely comprise this flock. From the other side of the island, we saw a steady stream of sooty terns headed around the corner of the lighthouse and towards these islands.
I missed getting shots of the plovers at the lawn above the beach - those were the tamest, closest golden-plovers we encountered in Hawaii.
A solid dozen of them in the trashcans by the parking lot. Something made them scram and they took off, one after another, back to the bushes.

Disable Two-Finger Horizontal Swipe Gesture For Chrome Or Any Other Mac App
The swipe gestures in OS X are an impressive way to move between desktop spaces, open the Launchpad, or do a number of other impressive things. Though they can also be annoying at times because they work system wide and there are some apps where a two-finger swipe function wouldn't make sense or even cause inconvenience. Unfortunately, the OS offers no way of customizing these gestures. A common beef that some of you might have is the way the two-finger swipe gesture, when accidentally executed in Chrome, will move you to the next or previous page in your browser's history. Fortunately, there is a little script to disable it. The method works not only for Chrome, but for any other app as well, only requiring a change in the command to refer to the appropriate app. So, let's get it up and running, and get rid of this annoyance from Chrome on OS X.

5. | Airwolf | ||
A term used to describe men of African descent due to the size of their flacid peni. If in the proper state of mind this person can gyrate hips and produce sufficient centripetal force to lift the person off of the ground like the 80's television show helicopter known as Airwolf. Wow! I'll bet that those Airwolfs can perform some serious deep excavation.
1. | Airwolf | ||
adj - Something that is uber-awesome, requiring more than a typical adjective to describe. Best used in conjuction with explitives. This french roast coffee is so fuckin' Airwolf.
2. | Airwolf | ||
An early 80's TV show about a combat helicopter that was mysteriously in private hands. It looked suspiciously like a standard commercial helicopter painted black.
Despite Airwolf being a superweapon with super-missiles coming from a little launcher in the bottom, it was maintained solely by some guy who looked like Earnest Borgnine and piloted by a man with the questionably masculine name of Stringfellow Hawk. There was also another dude who blacked out half of his eyeglasses called Archangel. He was cool, because he didn't need depth perception to kick ass. The theme:
Doo-be-de-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo da-da-da-doo doo-be-dee-doo-doo-da-da-da-dee doo doo doo... Da da da DAH! DAH DAH DUH DAH! DAH DAH DUH DAH DAH-DEE-DAH, DAH-DEE-DAH DOO-DAH! |
3. | airwolf | ||
Something superlatively amazing, beautiful, cool, great, et cetera. Coined by the illustrious internet superstar poet Ernie Cline. Music is airwolf.
Theatre is airwolf. Motion pictures are airwolf. Pie is airwolf. |
4. | Airwolf | ||
A facial in which the males cock is circling like a helicopter and splattering all around the females face. Bob was doing trish and when he got to the point of pleasure, he airwolfed trish.
6. | Airwolf | ||
A person who is classed as a superior Chopper That guy is an Airwolf
7. | airwolf | ||
(v.) To hum the airwolf theme whilst driving, irriating to fellow passengers.
(n.) One who decks out the interior of his/her car with stupid and inane clocks, trying to make it look like a helicopter, and hums the airwolf theme whilst driving. Stop doing that lindsey, you fucking airwolf!

A large F. Salicifolia died in a greenhouse heating incident some years ago. The trunk broke from the stump and the stump from the roots. All were discarded in the scrap pile. Well the stump came back to life and has been limping along for years. This is it now:
It's not really bare rooted, as it's been sitting in a pot on TOP of soil. It has survived despite my best efforts to kill it.
Here is a close-up of the trunk clumps. It's just over 40 of them. I'm thinking of leaving them in a fairy circle with the widest opening between clumps as the front. I'm going to keep all the trunks and let it keep on keepin' on.
The ring of sprouts is the circumference of the original tree. I may have lost a wonderful single trunk tree, but I think I've ended up with something unique for my bench.
Has anyone else done something like this?
