Reminder - Mission Statement for 2012
Message from the Galactic Federation of Light 8/26/12 'The Decree of Your Creator'
Swiftly sweeping you towards your new reality are your hopes and your dreams for a better world and a better life for you and those around you. It has been many long eons since many of you could call a world that you live in safe, secure, prosperous, even beautiful, as much of your planet has become scarred and marred in certain ways. We see for you many changes on your horizon, but all of these changes do not come for free without some kind of effort and some levels of responsibility for your roles as caretakers of your new world. What we, the Galactic Federation of Light, propose is that each and every one of you take an active role in not only the shaping of your new world in its design, but in the implementation process where these changes will take place. What we mean by this is we would like to incorporate the efforts of every single person on your planet, although we realize this is very ambitious and would be quite a task and achievement. We also feel this is a goal at least setting for ourselves, to give us a marker to shoot for.
Message from the Galactic Federation of Light 8/25/12 'From Foal to Steed'
Gambling on your future is not something that we would recommend. We instead advise you to take into consideration and take precautions to better your chances of ascension, not slowing, not quitting and not ignoring your responsibilities to make the reality that use you choose for yourself made manifest by your thoughts, words, intent and action. This is what we advise to you; we advise you to take stock in yourself. Analyze and categorize yourself and the many facets and aspects of yourself. What is it you consider an accomplishment, and by accomplishment we do not mean awards, trophies or contests that you have won or the amount of money that you have been able to earn. What we mean by accomplishment is what areas of yourselves have you been able to sharpen, to increase your abilities within yourself and to work, deal and socialize with others.
For instance, what we are asking you is in what areas do you feel you have improved upon throughout this, the only incarnation that you can remember at this time. (We only ask you to focus on this lifetime, for you do not remember others and of course cannot consider this in your analysis.) So in what areas do you feel you have shown weakness or deficiencies? What areas do you see that have needed attention, experiences and lessons to help you improve upon these areas, and which areas do you feel have received this improvement and which areas do you feel continue to need lessons and improvements? This should be an easy question for you to answer in some cases, and others an answer to this question will come to you only after careful thought, consideration and reflection upon your entire lifetime, not just adulthood, but going back as far as you can remember to your very early and formative years as a child, for it is here where many of your lessons have begun for you.
Message from the Galactic Federation of Light 8/24/12 'Defeating Final Challenges'
Distancing yourself from parts of your past and your lower selves may be a challenge for some of you, but it is challenges you have come here to face. Many of you did not come here for an easy ride, for this would not have garnered you what it is you wished from this experience. Take every challenge that comes your way as a golden opportunity, for this is what they are, opportunity after another in succession. These opportunities, if successfully utilized, will gift you with all that you have ever wanted in the end. That is what they are, each and every one of them, and if you could see them in this light it would give you the proper mindset to begin to find ways to defeat these challenges.
Seeing these challenges and tests of your strength and your will as more bad news, as more reasons to quit, to get down, to feel things are never going to change or get better is not a conducive mindset to success. This type of mindset is more conducive to failure, and it is not failure any of you have come here for or any of you are used to in your universal lives. This type of mindset to quit, to fail, to bemoan, to allow challenges and obstacles to get the better of you, to stop you, to impede you is a mindset that some of you have only picked up after you have journeyed here, for if these were your demeanors and your attitudes and the traits that you would have demonstrated you possessed, you would never have been chosen for these assignments in the first place.
Message from the Galactic Federation of Light 8/23/12 'Health & Well Being Programs'
Holding on to your dreams is a sure fire way for you to remain focused, to stay the course you have been traveling and to receive just what it is you have always wanted. To give up now, to forsake the dreams you have preserved inside you would be such a shame, as you are just a step or two now from the entrance way of the great kingdom that you have longed for, in some cases, for many eons of journey. There is nothing and there is no one that can stand in your way but you. Do you realize this? Do you realize that it is only you and your choices that could possibly stand before you and all that you have dreamed of, all you have ever wanted? It is you and you alone who are the guardsmen, the gatekeeper of this paradise, this kingdom, the realms of the higher dimensions.
So what is it that you are choosing? What is it that is keeping you from experiencing all that you wish to experience? it must be something, or else there would not be so many of you concerned that you may not ascend when the time comes for this great leap in your consciousness, in your reality, for if there were nothing in your lives or about yourselves that you felt was weighing you down, then each and every one of you would today be showing nothing but faith, confidence and surety that when the time came for you that you would be fully prepared and will have earned your right to step through the gates of this blessed kingdom.
Message from the Ashtar Command 8/22/12 'Military Disarmament'
Glistening like a pearl on the sands of a sundrenched beach is your new world, birthed from the mouth of an oyster who nurtured your world through love and through the desire for a better life and a better home for all of you. We have monitored your progress for many long eons of time, and we say to you that you have come so very far that to learn of these details will be a tremendous and glorious surprise for so many of you. Not many of you are 'newcomers to this scene'. So many of you have been on this journey for so long that this is why you have completely forgotten your roots, your ancestry, your history, your family, your friends, your careers and your purpose here, and this is why it is so difficult for some of you to possibly accept these truths about us, about you, and about what is now taking place here in this world.
Not all of you can and will readily accept the information about us. This is how it will be, there is no changing this. There are those of you who will in the days ahead learn of our existence for the first time, in this lifetime anyway, and going back possibly many more. There will be those who suffer or experience signs of mild and even in some cases severe shock and mental fatigue. Fatigue because the mind is like a muscle, and when the mind is worked out beyond its limits it can become damaged or worn out just like the muscles in your human vessel. These beings will need care, they will need love, they will need rehabilitation, they will need services that you are going to provide for them. This is how it works.
Message from the Galactic Federation of Light 8/21/12 'Gifts & Responsibility'
Sharing the gifts as the ones you are to receive once suitable arrangements can be created and maintained for a proper, safe, productive, cohesive and efficient working environment are gifts that will be presented to you because you have earned them. There is no other way or reason that gifts such as these are presented to a world and its people. We, the Galactic Federation of Light, monitor worlds, their progress and their consciousness and decide if we feel it is time to bear these gifts to them. This decision is based upon several factors, and we shall discuss these now at this time.
Factor one would be if the people of a world are ready for some of these gifts which, in most cases, deal with very advanced technologies. We cannot, of course, offer gifts of advanced technologies to a world that is still in the midst of their agricultural development or any period in their development where they have not yet reached a technological age. Your world, of course, has met this standard, and as a matter of fact you have met this standard some years ago, however, there were certain other standards that your world and your people had not met. One of these is the product of war. A people must demonstrate to us that they have now reached a point in their history where they no longer want war, where they no longer support war, where they no longer feel violence and bloodshed is the means to solve any problem.
Message from the Galactic Federation of Light 8/20/12 'Charting Your Course'
We see you protesting on the streets and we understand that you want large-scale change and you want it now. We are here to assist you make the changes that you call for and that you make clear it is what you wish for yourselves and your families. We are doing everything that we are permitted to do. We are not neglecting our duties in any way, shape or form. Those of you who see us as either lazy, or cowardice, or too pacifistic, or apathetic, or coldhearted, or mean, or uncaring, or abusive do not understand clearly who it is we are. We are you. We are your family, we are your friends. These are not metaphors. This is who we are. It is up to each and every one of you to decide for yourselves what these descriptions mean to you.
Message from the Galactic Federation of Light 8/19/12 'The Ultimate Movie Night'
Counter acting so much negativity and ill feeling in your world is the work of those of the light. Those who consciously work for the light for good, for freedom, for prosperity, for peace, for love, for global and universal cooperation, and those who perhaps unknowingly work for the light, but they too play an important role in your affairs and the dawning of your new age of light. Not all of you would be considered Lightworkers, for not all of you have come here for the same reasons and from the same places. There are many of you here, and almost as many different reasons why you are here at this time.
Not everyone plays for the same team, not everyone has the same goals in mind, the same future in mind for your world. Some that are here are here for reasons that concern none of this, and therefore should be left alone to their own devices, left to their own reality, for it is not our right, task or responsibility to come to them and pull them out of the confines of their reality. It is their dream just as much as you are living and experiencing your dream. Let them be. Let them live the way they planned for themselves, for they have different lessons to learn, different outcomes they wish to achieve through all of this and it would not be fair to inhibit them in any way from reaching their own goals, their own destinations, just as it would not be fair for someone to not allow you to reach your goals and your destination.
Message from the Galactic Federation of Light 8/18/12 'The First Ascenders of Humanity'
Turning another page in your history book we come to a very exciting and well worth waiting for chapter in your story. We have come to the point where it is now the time in your story to meet your friends, your family, your guides and your higher selves, those who have been sharing with you their wisdom, their light and their love for many long eons of time. It is time now for the curtain to rise for some of you, not for all of you, as it is not yet your time, but it will be in many cases your time very soon. You will not have too much longer to wait than the others who will get a 'head start', if you will, who will be the pioneers of this grand endeavor to bring together in reunion those from the higher dimensional worlds and you of your lower dimensional world.
The time is now upon us where these two worlds will merge, where these two worlds converge into one another. This is the crossroads. This is the next stop on your journey, and it is the stop where some of you will be getting off this ride and will begin a new journey donning a new suit of armor to ride forth into a new day with new challenges, adventures, excitement, fun and learning tools. This is where it has all been heading for many of you, and you have brothers and sisters who will now lead the way by testing the waters of what we have created to allow this merging of yourselves and of your world with those of the higher realms and the worlds that exist here beyond your limits of your site, your sound and your touch, but not beyond the limits of your imagination, and this is the key.
Message from the Galactic Federation of Light 8/17/12 'The Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven'
Saint Peter holding the 'Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven' (Matthew 16:19) . The keys
symbolize frequency, as frequency can be expressed as a musical tone, pitch or 'key'.
Resurrecting your dreams, your hopes, your accomplishments and your new home will be an achievement beyond any that you have ever made. What you have to look forward to is something that not many beings, if any at all, throughout this entire universe are blessed so to experience. We have planned for you and see for you so many wonderful things that so many of you who today may feel tied down to an unrewarding, un-pleasurable, unexciting, un-wondrous and unloved existence will, like a springboard, catapult into an entirely new reality, fresh in its grand tapestries of excitement, adventure, mystery, beauty, wonder, reward and surprise.
This is what so many of you have in store for yourselves just up ahead beyond the next-door that you will successfully step through. Do not allow yourselves to feel glum now, to allow yourselves to deflate, as it is this air of expectation, of childlike excitement and anticipation that is the air that fills your balloon that will lift you up and out of your current fairground of reality. Do you understand this, that it is your attitude, your inner emotions that are such an important factor in helping deliver you to where it is you want to be and what you want to experience? Your mindsets are preciously important factors at this and all times. It is entirely necessary for each and every one of you who wants more for yourselves, who wants something different and better for yourselves to safeguard and cater to your mindset, your attitudes, your demeanor, your outlook, your expectations, your mood as well as your physical health at all times, for all of these things factor in to your journey.
Message from the Galactic Federation of Light 8/16/12 'New Banking and Financial System'
Everlasting changes are changes that are made carefully and meticulously, based on well conceived plans that are made and that have the ability to develop systems and governance that can withstand many long years and many changes that may test the integrity and strength of these systems. Here in your world today are many examples of systems that have not survived tests of their integrity, their strength and their design. Here you have systems that have in many cases completely collapsed under just their own weight and not any outside force or influence. You have here systems of banking, of finance, of politics, of government, of education, of medicine and hospitalization that had never any chance to survive the long run, as they were weak and flawed in their original conception. They had no chance, none of them, to serve the people for any great length of time, and most of these systems were not even well enough designed to serve the people beneficially, adequately, efficiently or fairly for even a short length of time.
Message from the Ashtar Command 8/15/12 'All Remains Possible for You'
Hold on to your dreams and to the desires and the visions that you have had for your new lives and your new world, for they are just as possible as they have always been. They have gone nowhere. All and everything that has been discussed with you is still possible for you, you just have to make it happen, that is all. There is no reason to give up now. There is no call to see gloom on your horizon, for nothing has changed. Why are there those of you who believe anything at all has changed about your prospects, your outlook, your timelines, anything? We would like to know this today. We would like for those of you who believe that something has changed for you, that suddenly something is not possible for you, to share with us and explain to us what that is and why you feel some kind of rules have changed or that some kind of promise has been broken or that you can no longer have something that you thought you could.
Message from the Galactic Federation of Light 8/14/12 'The Perfect Destination'
In all this time that you have been working on and preparing for all that it is you wish for yourselves you have made great strides, you have made grand accomplishments, for you have all come so far in so many different ways and areas of your development. Not one day has been a waste of time or effort for any of you, as much has been achieved through your efforts and through your working cooperation with us, your family of the higher realms of this universe. Try to see this all in this way. Do your best to remain in a positive flow at all times, as it is this positive flow that will continue to carry you towards the goals and the futures that you have in mind and in heart, for this is how it is done.
It is not done through doubt, through fear, through suspicion, by quitting or through a defeatist attitude. Your goals are only achieved through the power of positive thought and action. This is how things get done, and we wish you to always keep this in mind, our dear loved ones, for the power of positive thought is boundless, is limitless and can take you to the farthest reaches of this universe and even back here, if that is what you wish for yourselves.
Message from the Galactic Federation of Light 8/13/12 'Ascension Science'
Holding you back in some ways is your resistance to change in some areas. There are for some of you new concepts and new ideas that are foreign to you, strange to you. You do not resonate with them, for you have never experienced anything like this before in any of your previous or recent incarnations. We of the Galactic Federation of Light wish to assist you smooth this transition for yourselves and assimilate these changes more efficiently and effectively, more positively, more securely and more confidently.
At this time, some of you are demonstrating great difficulties when reading our messages to you. These individuals are displaying behaviors not suitable for higher dimensional existence in many ways. These individuals are demonstrating for all to see that they are not yet prepared, they have not yet enabled themselves to rise above the frequency levels of a 3rd third dimensional existence. This is their choice and we, as we always do, honor and respect the choice that all will make, however, these beings may wish to understand that they will not, because they cannot, ascend into the higher dimensions until these deficiencies in their personality constructs are purified, are corrected, are brought into alignment with higher dimensional consciousness.

&BtgttBBBBBBBESSBBli The Word Carrier. os Santee Normal Training School. VOLUME XLI HELPING- THE BIGHT, EXPOSING THE WRONG. NUMBER 5 SANTEE, NEBRASKA. SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER, 1912 THIRTY CENTS PER YEAR Our Platform for Indians we want American Education! We want American Homes! We want American Rights! The result of which is American Citizenship! And the Gospel is the Power of God for their Salvation ! The Society of American Indians This Society has now emerged from some unfortunate conditions that hampered it in its first organization, and now has entered upon its third year of life with a mox-e complete organization and hearty endorsement of evex-y one who knows of them. Much of their success is owing to the untiring efforts of Prof. F. A. McKenzie of Ohio State University, who has Deei! working for the idea for four years. October 3-6 the society held their second annual conference at Columbus, O. It was a most successful meeting. We copy from a personal letter of Arthur C. Parker the seex-etary, some paragraphs of interest to all. Knowing your interest in our Society I take occasion to inform you briefly of the results of crir Second Conference held during the first week of October at Ohio State University. Dr. Coolidge still holds the President's chair of the organization, the Society saw fit to further hoimr me with the important office of Secre- tar\ abb hav mai fori The ins> ed. tern I really wish that you might have been to have attended the Conference and to listened to the earnest discussions by the y earnest Christian men and women who i the greater bulk of our organization, very associations of the Conference were iring and helped every person who atteud- Many of the leading clergy of the city at- ■d the Confex-euce and on Indian Sunday our members filled the pulpits of the churches. This year again I believe we reached moi-e than ten ihousand people with the message. Our Society now has a definite constitution and platform and has asked that the Secretary devote his entire attention to the work of the Society. . In this we had the assurance of co- optation from the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., various Indian Associations and such individuals as General Pratt, Thomas Jesse Jones, formerly of Hampton, Professor McKenzie of Ohio Stale University and many others. We number among our endorsex-s many of the leading- citizens of the counti-y beginning with the Pn-ident of the United States down through the various college presidents and professors, leading clergyman such as Dr. Washington Gladden down to the earnest man and woman devoting him or herself to the Indian Service, through the church, the Government, or lay organizations. Never before did a class of Indians, binding themselves together for the purpose of uplift and advancement, have the friends which we have. We sincei-ely believe that this result has been achieved through the confidence which our leading members have inspired among the well-wishers of the Indian race and through their sacrifice and devotion to the cause of the Society. Biography of William Jones The Frederick A. Stokes Company has issued an interesting biography of William Jones, Hampton's most distinguished Indian graduate, written by Henry Miluer Rideout. These memoirs of William Jones by one of his fellow students, says William L. Brown of Washington, are written con amore. They show a keen appreciation of the genius and personality of the man and possess an intrinsic interest that will appeal to a much larger circle thau the limited group to whom the subject of the book was personally known. That he was not more widely known to fame was undoubtedly due to the accident of his early death. For it is generally conceded among scholars that he gave promise of becoming one of America's leading anthropologists had he but lived to reap the fruits of his thorough training and natural aptitude for his chosen profession. Born, in 1871, a member of the Sauk and Fox tribe, with a strain from a clan of Indian rulers in his blood—though more white than Indian—and raised in a wigwam by bis grandmother, he was graduated from Hampton in 1892 and went to Andover where he fitted fox- Harvard. Graduated from Harvard in 1900, and gaining his Ph. D. at Columbia in 1904, he was sent in 1907, by the Field Museum of. Chicago, to the Philippine Islands to study the wild tx-ibes of natives in the mountains of Luzon. And he met his death in March 1909 by treachery at the hands of the savages among whom he had lived for about a year. His life, though short, followed no ordinary course. Rarely indeed is it given to any hu- inau being to range through such varied and fundamentally different experiences. His boyhood, as our author remarks, resembled the boyhood of Hiawatha with Nokomis. His career took him, as on an abrupt curve, through some of tixe highest complexities of our civilization. And when he had become the chief authority in Algonkin lore and was indispensable, humanly speaking, to the work he had chosen, it was fate to be sent off to the far corners of the tx-opics, there to meet death suddenly at the hands of savages. His character was of the strong and simple type of those who are born under the open sky and live always in close touch with natux-e. He was naturally modest and unassuming, with much of the sober dignity and reticence which characterize the higher type of Indians, and his face, reflective and melancholy in its upper lines but full of determination in its lower contour, revealed the clear, untroubled thought- fulness which possessed him, while his eyes, at times impenetrably sad, held frequently a twinkle of merry humor that was ix-resistible. Such was the man who is the subject of this book. Of the work that he accomplished little is said, but enough to show the seriousness with which he took it and the value of the results. He invariably spent the summers of his college years in the field, among the Indian tribes of our Middle West or the Ojibwas of Canada, collecting and writing the tales which make up the vast sum of their native folklore, or gathering the native implements or weapons of their mox*e primitive native life; and his birth and training made much of this accessible to him which would have been concealed forever from any investigator of an alien race. Much of his work mayr be seen in the Museum of Natural History in New York and in the Field Museum of Chicago whex-e he classified and ax-ranged his material. He wox-ked also upon a grammar of the Fox language and on a dictionary of tribes for the Bureau of Ethnology. But this book, which is made up of personal reminiscences and of extracts from letters and a journal, is the account, (as the author declares) not of the scientist and his achievements, but of a young man who, everywhere he went—among curators of museums, artists in studios, plainsmen in their saddles, or Indians in wigwams—endeared himself to many persons lastingly. The pex-usal of its pages must inevitably make those who thought they knew him know him better, and those who did not know him wish it might have been their px-ivilege to x-eckon him among their friends. —The Southern Workman.

The Comanche Interpreter Howax-d White Wolf, the subject of this sketch is at present employed as interpreter at the Comanche Mission of the Reformed Church in America at Lawton, Okla., and resides on the Mission grounds, having leased his lands and improvements to engage in this wox-k. Howax-d has steadily developed. This is noticeable not only to those who have long known him but even to those whose knowledge of him is of shorter dux-ation. The one time drunkard aud gamblex is, like Onesimus of old, now a profitable brother. Many times he refers to the great work, the evangelization of the Indian, and thanks God that he is called of God to help in it. This morning I again received evidence of this. He was referring to a funeral held yesterday. A young woman by the name of Nina Cox Komah had fallen asleep in Jesus Sunday evening. So when he came to report this morning for duty, among the first things he said was : "Mr. Sluyter, the thought came to me since the funex-al yesterday that my interpreting would not amount to anything if I did not have my heart in this great work." "No," said I, "you might interpret the words but the expression and feeling would be lacking." "Do you know," he added, "after the funeral Uttopoby and Nahwats (these ai-e my two Comanche Elders) and I were talking, and we expressed a desire that when our time comes we may be cleax--headed and die with a smile like Nina did and be able to say as she did: 'I am not afraid to die; it is all right.' '' It is very helpful to me in my preparations to know what the Indiaus ax-e thinking and talking about. I get very much help along this line fx-om my interpreter. Besides helping in this way, he assists in direct Chx-istian effort. Last week he and a number of other Indiaus were at Anadarko to meet with the Indian agent. Among the little group from our immediate neighborhood was one who some three mouths ago renewed his stand for Christ and since he has been a model Christian. This young man was approached by one of his closest friends with a request for fifty- cents to get some liquor. Among the Indians, to deny a i-equest of a friend is considered a great discourtesy. Henry, for such is the name of the Indiau, was perplexed He did not know what to do. He knew the evil effect of whisky, but knew equally well the Indian esprit de corps. He went over to Howard who was talking with another Indian and frankly told him the situation This other Indian immediately spoke up and said, "Why, give it to him." Henry turned to him and said politely, but firmly, "I am not asking you; I am asking Howard." Howard said, "I am glad that you have confidence in me to ask me, Henry. Yon ax-e here away from the Christian Mission. Here is your test." The fifty cents was not paid. Another victory7 won. Thus we have an interpreter who interprets. He takes the fire as well as the message; for he is in sympathy with the truth. He acts as a medium thx-ough whom I leam much of the needs of his tribemen byr keeping me posted as to what the Indians are thinking and saying. Best of all, Howard is becoming more and more useful as an immediate agent in helping to make the religion of Jesus Christ apply to evex-y-day, practical life. These few lines I thought might be helpful to those who are intei-ested in the progress of the Gospel among the Comanches, with especial reference to the interpx-eter through whom God's word is brought to them in their native tongue. —Rev. Henry Sluyter, in Carlisle Arrow. Santee Normal Training School Press, Santee, Xeb.

NewsNechako Rotary Club Hoping to Sell More Tickets for Car Raffle
Sunday, August 12, 2012 - 1:21 PM The Nechako Rotary Club is working towards a sell out for its summer car raffle. The club has sold around 3,000 ten dollar tickets for a 1971 Ford Torino. Past President Kelly Zammit says tickets have been selling slower than expected. "But then Prince George is a last minute town," says Zammit, "so were hoping everyone will get out and support such a good cause, within the last few weeks of ticket sales." Zammit says all money raised in this year's car raffle will go to the Salvation Army's Mobile Crisis Repsonse Trailer. Tickets can be bought at Pine Centre Mall for the month of August. The draw date for the car is September 12th. Most Viewed Stories More Local

It's the time of year when some list-checking is going on, and the Menlo Park Planning Commission is no exception -- on Dec. 17 the commissioners took a look at whether the Bohannon Development Company is making a "good faith effort" to meet the terms of the development agreement associated with the Menlo Gateway project.
Read the full story here Web Link posted Tuesday, December 18, 2012, 9:12 AM
Posted by Sam Sinnott, a resident of the Menlo Park: Downtown neighborhood, on Dec 18, 2012 at 1:44 pm
The development agreement should be modified to allow the construction of the offices before the hotel.
Mr Bohannon, having made a good faith effort, shouldn't be held hostage by this.
Menlo Park is not benefitting either. When modifying the agreement some benefit for the City can be included.
Posted by Menlo Voter, a resident of the Menlo Park: other neighborhood, on Dec 18, 2012 at 3:02 pm
The development agreement absolutely should NOT be modified. The hotel component is the only real benefit to the city in the entire project. Allowing the offices to be built ahead of teh hotel is handing Bohannon teh keys to the kingdom. There will be zero reason for him to build it once he has offices built.
One has to wonder if this was his intentions all along.
Sorry, he agreed to it. He needs to abide by it.
Posted by Shocked, a resident of the Menlo Park: Felton Gables neighborhood, on Dec 18, 2012 at 4:30 pm
Too bad our city didn't have the same foresight with the Stanford properties.
One million square feet new office space = greater requirement for new housing. Where will we put it all? At least the hotel will provide some benefit, and I'm sure Bo can find a way to economize. $450,000/room seems excessive.
If the council starts caving to every rich whiner, we will all be in trouble!
Posted by Ballot measure, a resident of the Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park neighborhood, on Dec 18, 2012 at 5:32 pm
Don't fall for the bait-and-switch.
The hotel agreement was an essential part of the ballot measure that approved this monstrosity. In the interim, Mr. Bohannon enjoys an increased valuation of the property due to the entitlements granted. The performance window hasn't expired.
Maybe someone else has the capability to fulfill the plan.
Posted by WhoRUpeople, a resident of another community, on Dec 19, 2012 at 8:59 am
What are you people talking about? In fairness to Mr. Bohannon, nowhere in his report to the commission did he ask for or even hint that he wanted to change the deal. He just gave an accurate report as required by the agreement. One poster comes on this forum and suggests the City might be better off by changing the deal, and all of a sudden there is conjecture that this was the plan all along and that Bohannon is guilty of a bait and switch.
Posted by Not true, a resident of the Menlo Park: Belle Haven neighborhood, on Dec 19, 2012 at 9:52 am
Bohannon referred to needing to change the agreement if he secured financing that required modifying it. He did not ask directly this time.
Posted by M L, a resident of the Menlo Park: Belle Haven neighborhood, on Dec 19, 2012 at 10:01 am
Someone who bought votes for his project, by doling out hamburgers at Belle Haven churches, is capable of anything.
Posted by old timer, a resident of the Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park neighborhood, on Dec 19, 2012 at 9:52 pm
True to his consistent position, Sam Sinnott would support any project, regardless of the consequences. Get real Sam.
Even with the hotel being included, Bohannon got a huge density increase which is worth tens of millions in value to him. The TOT from the hotel, was really the only benefit the City would receive from this monster project.
Many of us have just been waiting for him to come back and ask for a change in the Development Agreement to put even more dollars in his pocket.
Posted by Menlo Observer, a resident of the Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park neighborhood, on Dec 20, 2012 at 9:39 am
With Gail Slocum doing Bohannon's bidding you can be sure that Bohannon will get his way. As Chair of the San Mateo County Planning Commission she is willing to deny approval for a modest Seven Eleven with a small carbon footprint in San Mateo but push through massive development with a huge carbon footprint that will result in gridlock traffic in Belle Haven.
Even long time friend Paul Collacchi disagreed with Slocum on the Bohannon development.
My suggestion is either build the hotel according to the plan or have the zoning permit revoked. Alternatively he could deed the hotel portion of his property to the City of Menlo park and Build the rest of the project.
[EDITOR'S NOTE: The San Mateo County Planning Commission has no authority over the Gateway project....as noted in the story, Menlo Park is in charge, so Gail Slocum is not officially involved.]
Posted by Almanac Watcher, a resident of the Menlo Park: Downtown neighborhood, on Dec 22, 2012 at 1:53 pm
Menlo Observer never claimed that the San Mateo County Planning Commission has authority over the Gateway project. That is an obfuscation on the part of the Almanac. Menlo Observor merely pointed out the inconsistency in Slocum's advocacy. The Seven Eleven has a miniscule carbon footprint when compared to the Gateway project and Slocum deliberately left out the carbon footprint created by the massive increase of traffic in Menlo Park where there has been no budgeting for road expansion. With Gateway we get traffic jams, noise pollution, and air pollution. That is what I call "Slocum Green".
Daqve Bohannon is getting a free ride with the help of former mayors Chuck Kinney and Gail Slocum who are up for grabs by the highest bidder. The Almanac ignores this obvious information.

DNA Collection Law Heads to Supreme CourtAlaska is one of 28 states that take DNA from suspects on arrest, not convictionANCHORAGE - It's a case that will go to the highest court in the land later this month. The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to decide whether it's legal for law enforcement to take DNA samples from suspects when they're arrested, not just convicted of a crime. Twenty-eight states already do that, including Alaska, which has been collecting samples on arrest since 2007. The state crime lab in East Anchorage is where those samples are sent. Right now there are about 30,000 people who have both DNA and fingerprints on file. Some of the samples come from people convicted of certain crimes, but the majority of them come from those who have simply been arrested for them. State DNA Director Michelle Collins says those crimes include most felonies and what are known as "crimes against people." "Burglaries, thefts, assaults, sexual assaults, homicides, anyone being arrested or convicted of one of those will require you to give a sample for the database," said Collins. The samples are analyzed and then listed in a national database where law enforcement agencies across the country can look for matches with crime scene evidence. Authorities say taking a sample early in the process, such as when a suspect is arrested, could mean a match that might stop them from committing more crimes, or provide a lead where there wasn't one before. "It's pretty exciting," said State Crime Lab Director Orin Dym. "When you have a case that is going nowhere, there's no suspect in mind, and all of a sudden you pull a database hit, well then there's a lead and it's time for law enforcement to follow up." But privacy experts argue that people who haven't been convicted shouldn't have to submit their DNA. "A search of your DNA is a search, and the constitution says you have to have reasonable cause," said American Civil Liberties Union Alaska president Jeffery Mittman. "You can't do it without a warrant and you can't do it without reason." There are also concerns that once a sample is submitted it stays on file in the system, even if a person is later found innocent or the charges are thrown out. It takes a judge's order to remove it. Still, officials argue that changing the law will have an impact. "For us it means that less samples come in," said Dym. "To Alaskans it means less cases are solved." Law enforcement agencies in every state are petitioning the court to keep the law as is. President Barack Obama is asking every state to start collecting DNA upon arrest and is even providing some federal money to help state's pay for it. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Thursday, Feb 7 at 10:32 PM Baaaaaad idea. Creepy and dystopian abuse is certain. Solving crimes is good, but not at any cost. Instead store a one way cryptographic hash of DNA, like sha256. On match, a full DNA comparison should still be done. Also there should be open legal means for innocent people to get themselves removed from the database. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Feb 6 at 9:46 AM Collect them and store them. I hope they can solve some crimes this way! Inappropriate? Alert Us! Add a commentMost Popular

How Does a Wordpress Powered Blog Work?
I'm thinking of adding a blog section to THIS website and a friend said that worpress already does a few things for you. Is this true? and what are some advantages and disadvantages of using wordpress?
This question is way too broad to answer properly. WordPress does many things some of them are great and some of them are poor.
WordPress has lots of good content management stuff done for you right out of the box. This includes storing content robustly in a solid MySQL database structure. Not only does this mean your content being independent of structural markup as it should be, it also give you practical benefits like tracking changes to pages (so you can easily revert to an earlier version if needs be. It also has handy components which would take ages to hand code - like a robust login system - already done for you. Just generally, its community as very active and has some of the best documentation I've seen for an open source project.
As far as the major disadvantages are concerned, some might argue (me included) that it is a good blogging platform but is just playing at being a full CMS. I know I might get shunned for that thinking but I really stand by it. Some of the stuff in the theme system requires on logic that should not be part of the presentational layer (eg. a custom "query_posts" loop) and it's only when you start comparing it to the more complex options that you begin to see where the differences are.
Overall, for a small blog, I'd say WordPress is the right choice. Given that data is stored in a proper way, you could still migrate to something in the future if you needed more flexibility with types of content etc. I know WordPress has custom post types but it is difficult to control the data types of custom fields.
If you just want a simple no frills blog on a webpage, you can just embed a tumblr.
@tomrogers123(This website is built with WordPress and I do not consider it a small blog. )
I think of WP as a PHP frame work with a friendly backend user interface that stores(through user input) and pulls information from a mySQL database to display your content. This information is often presented by loops that call a list of posts by type and/or various other taxonomies. . The data is then wrapped in html tags and styled with CSS. This can be blog posts, photo galleries, or just static stuff on pages like an essay "about" page etc. You can make everything on your site editable from the backend. Employing custom post types and custom fields, (I have really been loving "Advanced Custom Fields, " it can be anything you want it to be. It is getting better and better and there is a huge community to learn from and share with. The downfalls are that there are a lot of poorly designed templates and plugins that are buggy and just made to make money. Also - there is a lot of talk about whether or not mySQL is rad or not. Static sites do not have to loop, so in effect they are faster... but It is hardly perceivable. I fought WordPress for years. I wanted to do everything myself, but It turns out I just didn't know what I was doing. After watching our good friend Chris Coyier's tutorial on lynda.com 2 years ago, a ton of searching on the codex, and a lot of practice, the php all makes sense and I just think WordPress is super rad. I mean, it is free. That is insane. You have a team of super talented groundbreaking developers working for you for free. If you don't think that WordPress can be a full featured CMS, then you just haven't experienced it yet.
But honestly... if you just want a blog on a page - and you don't want to learn all this stuff - grab a tumblr. Search google for how to embed it. Styling it is a bit whacky the first time, but you'll figure it out.
I see on your site that you are somewhat new to web stuff. From my experience, if you plan to continue expanding on your current page, WordPress is a great CMS. As I'm sure you know, this entire site is powered through WordPress.
I bought a month of Lynda.com so that I could watch Chris's wordpress theme course (linked in the CSS-Tricks footer). That was all it took for me to learn how to power a regular site through wordpress and add blog functionality.

Mission Operations
The tilt of Cluster 3 (45° with respect to Cluster 4) has been successfully performed in May 2008. This allowed the 3D electric field to be measured for the first time by combining both spacecraft measurements. Preliminary results show the successful measurement of parallel electric fields in the auroral zone. The tilt also improved significantly the localization of the sources of radio waves in the magnetosphere.
The recent long eclipse season - the most critical period of the Cluster mission since the launch in 2000 - has been passed successfully.
Constellation manoeuvres were finished on 4 July. C3 and C4 were put at 17 km from each other, their closest separation distance in the Cluster lifetime. This constellation will allow investigating very small plasma structures in the tail of the magnetosphere.
The four spacecraft and instruments are operating nominally. The short eclipse season has been passed successively. This year the eclipse period was 1.5 month long with a total of 50 eclipses. A cycling of batteries was introduced by ESOC to give a rest to some batteries in the middle of eclipse season.
All four spacecraft successfully went through the long eclipse season which has just finished. A new mode of operation called "decoder only", where the on-board computer and all other sub-systems are switched off, was defined on spacecraft 1 since the batteries are now very weak. This spacecraft came out successfully of the eclipse and was re-configured by the ESOC flight control team.
The four spacecraft and instruments are operating nominally. The short eclipse season has just finished and a few anomalies have been observed due to the aging of the batteries. These have proven, however, that the spacecraft can survive a short eclipse with minimum power in the batteries and it will give some experience for the next long eclipses in September 2006.
The four spacecraft and instruments are operating nominally. The phasing manoeuvres were executed in November 2005. The spacecraft multi-scale configuration (C1, C2 and C3 spacecraft separated by 10 000 km and C3 and C4 separated by 1000 km) was changed to a perfect tetrahedron of 10 000 km to observe the polar cusp in February/March 2006. The solid state recorder capacity was increased from 5 to 7.5 Gbit by switching on the 3rd memory module. This will allow more flexibility in the data.
The four spacecraft and instruments are operating nominally. The largest constellation manoeuvres ever performed with Cluster were successfully executed in June-July 2005. The spacecraft reached the largest separation distance of 10 000 km through a series of the most complex manoeuvres ever done with 49 individual manoeuvres executed over a total of 21 hours of thrusters firing. The spacecraft are now in a multi-scale configuration with 3 spacecraft (C1, C2, C3) at 10 000 km and 2 spacecraft (C3, C4) at 1000 km.
The four spacecraft and instruments are operating nominally. The short eclipse (less than 1 hour) season has been passed successfully. On spacecraft 1, one of the two batteries had a voltage drop about 3 minutes before the end of the eclipse and the second battery was not powerful enough to keep the spacecraft and instruments working. A switch over from the main on-board computer to the redundant one triggered and all instruments were switched off. After re-configuring the spacecraft, the instruments were successfully switched back on. To prevent this problem from happening again, a third battery was brought on line on each of the four spacecraft.
The spacecraft and instruments are operating nominally. An anomaly on one of the CIS (ion) detectors has been observed on spacecraft-2. The problem seems to be on the MCP high voltage. Further investigation is on-going. Ion measurements are being performed on this spacecraft by the second CIS detector. An on-board computer switch-over from main to redundant occurred on 18 October on spacecraft-4 and on 31 October on spacecraft-3. This was due to an error in the computer memory most likely due to energetic particles. The spacecraft and payload were reconfigured with success a few days later.
The spacecraft and instruments are operating nominally. In connection with the Perseid meteor shower in August 2004, the electron instrument PEACE on C3 detected anomalously high counts and one of the sensors (HEEA) was automatically switched off. It was later switched back on and is presently working nominally.
Cluster is now in its 4th year of operations and the four spacecraft and instruments are working nominally. The data return was, on average, 99.7 % in March 2004 and April 2004. The VILSPA-1 and Maspalomas ground stations are operating nominally. The spacecraft will be moved away from each other from a starting distance of 250 km to a final one of 1000 km. At the same time, the argument of perigee will be brought down to compensate the natural drift. This means that four long manoeuvres, around 1 hour and 20 minutes, and 11 small ones (less than 5 minutes) will be executed on each spacecraft.

Usain Bolt And Flower Girl Funny Crash VIDEO
June 9, 2012
Leave a comment
Even in the most serious events funny things can take place.
Prominent athlete Usain Bolt after crossing the finish line and winning the men's 100m race at the IAAF Diamond League athletics held in Oslo crashed into a flower girl. Normally athletes in such circumstances do lose their temper, but Bolt by reacting completely opposite does prove himself to be the winner.

I just saw the results of a Rasmussen survey [2] asking people's opinions on government regulation of the airwaves. This is scary:
Nearly half of Americans (47%) believe the government should require all radio and television stations to offer equal amounts of conservative and liberal political commentary, but they draw the line at imposing that same requirement on the Internet. Thirty-nine percent (39%) say leave radio and TV alone, too.
All the while, these same people believe that the free market makes sure just about any view can (and does) get heard:
At the same time, 71% say it is already possible for just about any political view to be heard in today's media, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Twenty percent (20%) do not agree.
So they think most views are being heard, they just want "their" views heard more often? Or maybe it's this politically correct cult of "fairness" we've been slowly-but-surely sinking into in this country for the past several decades.
Then there's this nugget:
Fifty-seven percent (57%) say the government should not require websites and blog sites that offer political commentary to present opposing viewpoints. But 31% believe the Internet sites should be forced to balance their commentary.
Sheesh... As Seinfeld would say, "who ARE these people?". Well, whoever they are, it's this kind of uninformed "opinion" that fuels liberal congressional agendas...and the Democrats have been itching for quite some time to reinstate the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" that would mandate that radio and TV stations give "equal time" to all political viewpoints...regardless of their popularity...or what the audience (and ratings) demands.
As I've said many times before, there are a lot of stupid people in this country...and too many of them have voter registration cards. Forget the poll tax, I think we need a Constitutional intelligence test when registering to vote.
In the meantime, you can sound off to your members of Congress [3] if you like by signing our "Stop the Fairness Doctrine" petition [4] and sending them a fax [3] and letting them know how you feel.

When Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama during Monday's debate of spending too little on the military by pointing out that the Navy has fewer ships now than it did in 1916, the president delivered his now-famous hashtag-worthy line: "we also have fewer horses and bayonets."
Explaining that aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines have essentially rendered certain naval ships unnecessary, the president told his Republican opponent: "The question is not a game of 'Battleship,' where we're counting ships," thus evoking memories of the popular board game.
"Battleship" was the second childhood favorite to come up in the debates. In the first, Romney talked about ending funding for public broadcasting, despite the fact that he "liked 'Big Bird'" from "Sesame Street." But they appreciate the attention.
"Many of our brands, including 'Battleship,' are household favorites that get mentioned in many settings," a representative for toymaker Hasbro told CNN. "We are glad the president has played the game."
And the company licensed to sell "Big Bird" Halloween costumes couldn't be more pleased.
"This has absolutely become our biggest year ever for 'Big Bird' costumes," Maddie Gerety, brand manager at Disguise, a unit of toymaker Jakks, told CNNMoney. "If only we had a crystal ball to predict this was going to happen."
"Battleship" and "Big Bird" aren't the only childhood favorites to be resurrected during the campaign.
A new poll shows 55 percent of U.S. voters plan on voting for Obama and 45 percent for Romney on Nov. 6.
But before you say that's way out of line with most polls showing a dead heat -- relax! We're talking about "Etch A Sketch's" national "Shake it Up, America" campaign's very informal online poll.
The seed for the "Shake it Up, America" campaign was planted when Romney's trusted adviser, Eric Fehrnstrom, likened the presidential race to an "Etch A Sketch" on CNN's "Early Start."

Post subject: Favorite short story and favorite novel.
OK... just to provoke a little writing here, I'm going to ask a couple of questions and I hope people will answer them. Certainly everyone who's participated in the book review forums should be able to respond, but these aren't easy questions, at least not for me:
You're asked to recommend the single best book you've ever read to a total stranger (so you don't know their reading an/or literary preferences). What
book is it and why? (Note: if your "single" best book is a series, I will accept that. I'm just trying to get people to pick a favorite, rather than saying "I can't pick just one, so here are 3" ... or 5... or 20 or whatever. Note also that I am asking why. You can pick something that is great literature, or that will change someone's life, or anything else, but tell us what your reason is as best you can.)
Same question but you're recommending a short story instead of a book.
I am still considering my own answers to those questions. It's not as easy as I thought it was when I first started pondering it. I'm hoping that some really interesting responses will show up here, and that they might lead to new reading that I would otherwise have missed.
I will post my own answer when I've got my thoughts worked out. Anyone else care to be first with a response?

Post subject: Jeff finally answers his own questions...
Well, since Doug hasn't answered my "Why" question, I thought I'd try my hand at my own answers here:
Best Novel:
This is really hard for me, but whenever I reach out and look for the best novel I've read - the one that really grabs me by the guts and pins me down - I have only one answer:
by Frank Herbert. It was the book that taught me what a classic hero centered story is. It taught me about destiny, and making your own destiny. It introduced environmentalism and an ecological concern for an entire planet to millions of readers. I've read many good books over the years, but
simply stands apart in my head. I know it's not "Great Literature" as defined by the critics, but it works for me, and it works very, very well. I'm not so sanguine about all the follow on Dune books. Some are better than others, but none live up to the original. If you read only the first, I won't be upset.
Best Short Story:
There are only two candidates in my experience: Arthur C. Clark's
The Nine Billion Names Of God
and Stephen R. Donaldson's
. Picking one is hard because I've read the first many times and the second only once. But I'm going to have to select
. It's a deeper story, with real character development. Clark's story is very good, and it has always stayed with me, but I think Donaldson is the better writer. If you want, you can find my review of that story
OK... time for someone else to respond. What are your favorites and why?
Oh, and Doug, you need to give us a "why" on your answers above, please!

1) Very tough. I'll go with The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
I hate to do this but...
is my essay on the thing, which pretty much tells why I love it so
2) Very easy. The Automatic Tiger by Kit Reed
Hmmm... Not a word is wasted. And every time you think you know how it is going to go, it changes on you, and yet, at the end, the whole arc seems inevitable. I'm afraid to say a word because I read it with no information about it, and that is probably the best way

DIY: Convertible Collar
Supplies: Crew neck shirt. Get 2 if you want the cowl to match.
You can also use other fabrics for the straps. I want to do leather buckles for my next one.
Another twist on your average shirt and all you need is 2 buttons and scraps. I used the same fabric for the cowl but you can use all kinds of different scarves to wrap around your neck.
DIY instructions:
Make the straps by sewing the fabric right sides together and flipping out. Mine were about 6 inches long, you can shorten them as you see the fit.
Sew button hole and finish edge.
Sew the flap and the button on the should seams.
If you want to sew the cowl on...wrap it right sides together and sew all the way around. The back will need to be sewn up as well.
You can still add layered scarves into the mix...
