|Expats will have a chance to learn their
rights with firearms
SOURCE: AMCostaRica.com
June 11, 2013
This newspaper in cooperation with the La Garita Pistol Club plans an informational meeting June 22 for English speakers who might be interested in obtaining a firearms permit.
The day is a Saturday, and the morning session will provide details on what foreigners need to do to comply with the law and legally to keep one or more weapons for sport and self protection.
One of the main speakers will be Paul Furlong, a founder of the pistol club and an expat who actually has used deadly force in the protection of a neighbor. Furlong also presents an advanced shooting course, and some of his former students will be at the session to demonstrate their techniques.
The club is seeking a donation of 3,000 colons per person or 5,000 colons per couple for the event, which will include discussions.
The location is the La Garita pistol range owned and operated by Enrique Rodriguez, a bilingual Costa Rican who is retired from a top position in the police force.
Furlong said that firearms officials regularly give the written and practical tests for a permit at La Garita. He and Rodríguez can prepare a student for the exam and offer more advanced courses that teach a student to defend him or herself in real life, he said. He will explain that arrangement as well as introduce a bilingual psychologist who can provide required mental verification in English. The costs for these services will be outlined.
The event, being called a field day, also is open to those of any age over 18 who may want to demonstrate other lethal and non-lethal methods of self protection.
A.M. Costa Rica, a sponsor of the field day, does not urge expats to own a firearm. However, in recognition that many do and many want to, the newspaper is providing a forum for correct information. Whether expats want to maintain a

firearm in the home or to carry one concealed on their person, a permit is needed.
In addition to discussions and informational talks, those who wish to take a turn at firing a weapon can do so for an extra cost to cover the ammunition, weather permitting, said Furlong.
Reservations can be made by calling 8898-9398 or by writing firstname.lastname@example.com

In Brief:
Takero Shimazaki's exploration focused on Japanese architect Itsuko Hasegawa, whose architecture displays remarkable abstraction yet is intimately connected to its location and users. By investigating the work of Hasegawa, who often goes against the grain of architectural fashion, Shimazaki examined the premise that negotiations with client, public or planners may lead to an architecture that is dull and compromised, and that the role of the architect is often to act more as a facilitator or administrator than as a design leader. Shimazaki documented four of Hasegawa's public projects and conducted a series of interviews with Hasegawa and her peers, revealing her attitudes and approach to her work. The investigation shows an architect who is prepared to lead, to challenge and, sometimes, to be unpopular, yet who builds lasting connections with the communities in which she works.

Why did you want to be part of Venice Takeaway?
I wanted to revisit and reabsorb the works of Itsuko Hasegawa, for whom I worked briefly in the past. Hasegawa's architecture has undoubtedly contributed greatly to my thinking and working as an architect. For some time I have wanted to reflect on her work in order to objectively understand what I have learned from her. The project was an opportunity to seek new ideas, and it was also motivated by my desire to understand Hasegawa's work in relation to other 'humane' architects I have been researching (eg Alison and Peter Smithson, Lina Bo Bardi and Eric Miralles).
Where did your idea come from?
Given the abstract nature of plans, sections and elevations, communicating architectural ideas is one of the most difficult parts of the design process. Architects are educated to communicate ideas to other architects and frequently adopt a self-referential language. This can alienate the people for whom they are actually designing. Hasegawa addresses this by 'crafting' her drawings, writings and artefacts. She decides many details on-site, which empowers the builders and involves them in the process. I wanted to find out how she made this approach work in an age when architects operate within an economically and politically challenging environment.
How are research and exploration important to your practice?
Our practice does not exist in a vacuum, so it is important to have references and inspiration in our work. Exploration helps us connect to the wider scope of contemporary and historical architecture. As an academic at the AA School, my unit has found inspiration in the work of Alvin Boyarsky and others. Toh Shimazaki Architecture (t-sa) has also developed its own independent school of architecture to operate alongside the practice and has invited British and international students to research craft-based architectural approaches. Further explorations have connected us to the community: t-sa introduced 'forum mini', a workshop for children that forces us to explore different ways of communicating place-making.

STATESBORO, Ga. - Sophomore Nate Koneski (North Dighton, Mass.) pitched 7.2 innings, giving up just three hits and two runs to lead the Holy Cross baseball team to a 3-2 victory over Georgia Southern in the final game of the opening series at JI Clements Stadium. The Crusaders end their trip to Statesboro, Ga., with a record of 1-2 while the Eagles go to 3-5 overall.
Two runs were scored by each team in the first inning, leading to a 2-2 tie. After junior Brendan McCrea (Hicksville, N.Y.) and sophomore Steve Tkowski (Bourne, Mass.) led off the top half of the first with singles, a double to right field by freshman Stephen Wadsworth (Wayland, Mass.), allowed the two base runners to cross home plate. Georgia Southern knotted the score in the bottom half of the inning off a two-run home run by senior Kyle Blackburn, bringing the score to 2-2.
The next four innings became a pitcher's duel as each team combined for just two hits in the second, third, fourth and fifth innings. The Crusaders would then break through for the go ahead run in the top of the sixth inning. Tkowski led off the inning with a single and advanced to second base on a single by junior Eric Oxford (Danvers, Mass.). A passed ball allowed both runners to move to second and third base respectively. After Wadsworth drew a walk to load the bases, sophomore Chris Sintetos (Bethesda, Md.) hit a sacrifice fly to right field, allowing Tkowski to score. With the sacrifice fly, Holy Cross took full grasp of a 3-2 advantage.
Koneski continued his strong showing on the mound, allowing no hits in the sixth and seventh innings before being relieved by senior Ryan George (Seekonk, Mass.) with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning. George pitched the final 1.1 innings and faced six batters. Of those batters, George stuck out one and allowed no hits, picking up the save for Holy Cross, his first of the season. The Crusaders finished the nine innings with the final 3-2 victory.
Koneski picked up the winning decision, allowing two runs and three hits in 7.2 innings pitched while striking out three Eagles batters. He goes to 1-0 on the season. Georgia Southern's Chris Beck took the loss, falling to 0-2 this season after allowing three runs on seven hits in five innings pitched. In all, Holy Cross scored three runs on eight hits while the Eagles notched three runs on two hits.
Holy Cross travels to Charleston, S.C., next to play against the College of Charleston tomorrow, March 2. The game will be held at Patriot's Point beginning at 5:00 p.m.

RCMP are investigating the theft of two industrial fluid blocks from a business yard in Swift Current.
The Swift Current RCMP is asking for the public's help in identifying the persons responsible for metal thefts in the Swift Current area and, recently, the theft of industrial fluid blocks.
Sometime between Jan. 1 and March 1 unknown person(s) entered into the yard of a Swift Current business and removed two industrial fluid blocks. One of the blocks is made of stainless steel while the other is made of an aluminum bronze composition. Both blocks are approximately 41" x 22" x 10" in size and weigh in excess of 1,000 lbs each. The fluid blocks are valued at approximately $30,000 each when new ($1,000 to $3,000 each as scrap metal).
The RCMP is also asking metal dealers that may have purchased these items as scrap metal, not realizing they were stolen, to contact the Swift Current General Investigation Section at 306-778-4870 or your nearest RCMP detachment quoting file 2014-235572.
Tips can also be given through Crimestoppers by calling 1-800-222-8477 or through the Crimestoppers website at http://www.saskcrimestoppers.com. Tips given through Crimestoppers are anonymous and Crimestoppers pays cash rewards for information that helps with an investigation.

Editor's Choice
With eight events on the '06 NMRA schedule, it's difficult for Mustang Monthly editors to attend every Laurel Mountain All-Ford Auto Show as part of our show sponsorship. We're grateful to photographer Paul Rosner for assisting with our Editor's Choice picks. He picked a good one during the NMRA Ford Nationals at Atco-the '93 Cobra owned by Paul Filipowski from Marlton, New Jersey.
Paul's occupation as an auto detailer shows on his stock and mostly original Cobra, one of 4,993 built, not including the 107 R-models for competition use. Other than a Kenny Brown Performance strut-tower brace added to stiffen the front end, the Vibrant Red Cobra is a shining example of how these special-performance Mustangs were delivered from the factory. The concours-like condition hasn't prevented Paul from a bit of fun on the dragstrip; With its 235hp 5.0-liter engine, the Cobra has run a best of 14.2 seconds at 98.7 mph in the quarter-mile.

Read Me First
Every couple of years, Apple plunges its excited users into a new world with a major revision of Mac OS X. This time, it's Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5). So, what's new in Leopard? What's all the fuss about? This book shows you, through a hands-on guided tour of the adjustments, tweaks, and customizations you can make in the System and the Finder. This book was written by Matt Neuburg, edited by Tonya Engst, and published by TidBITS Publishing Inc.
Perhaps on the evening of October 26, 2007, you stood in line to obtain one of the first copies of Mac OS X version 10.5 Leopard at your local computer store. Or perhaps you were more cautious and waited until you felt Apple had straightened out the initial kinks inevitable in a new operating system release. One way or another, you wound up with a copy of Leopard.
You stayed up late installing it on your Mac; then you fell asleep exhausted. You woke up the next morning excited as a child on Christmas. You rushed to the computer and started it up. You gaped at its new, improved startup speed—even faster than Tiger, and with no "thermometer" dialog! You gasped with amazement at the transparent menu bar! You shivered at the icy look of the shiny, new, reflective Dock! You squealed with delight as you tried the new Search field in Safari! You gawked as you read a TextEdit document directly from the Finder, without opening TextEdit, using Quick Look! You drooled as you played with the Finder's new Cover Flow view!
Now it's the second day. You're finished playing (and tired of all those exclamation marks), and you want to get back to work. You'd like to Take Control. And, in particular, you'd like to take control of how your computer looks and behaves. But where to start? What needs customization, so that things will go smoothly henceforward?
This book covers these second-day-of-Leopard sorts of things. It introduces you to Leopard by showing ways you can customize your computer—ways that were impossible in previous versions of Mac OS X, or that might not be obvious from a casual inspection, or that experience has shown to be worthy of your attention.
Whether you've upgraded from Tiger or switched from Windows, whether you're new to Leopard or you just want to understand it better, this book is your guide to what you can and should customize in Leopard to get the most out of it. I'm not writing for Unix experts, so I don't talk about clever technical hacks; the customizations pointed out here are those that Leopard wants and expects you to perform directly in its normal interface. I do, however, point out areas where Leopard might need a little help from third-party utilities in order for you to work most comfortably and efficiently.
Now let's meet Leopard and make it change its spots!
This book describes many customizations, not all of which you need to employ, and some of which will be more important to you than others. Naturally, I think that sooner or later you should take the time to read this book from start to finish, but I also understand that you're eager to get working with Leopard and that you live a busy life, and that you might want to know what's most important to do right now, and come back to the rest of the book later. So, I suggest a three-stage approach:
Here, then, is how I suggest you customize and learn about Leopard with the help of this book:
If you're familiar with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, Leopard presents interesting changes that you may want to take account of as you adjust your work habits to fit the new environment. Not all of these involve customization, so they don't fit into the overall theme of this book. But in order for you, a habituated Tiger user, to work with Leopard effectively, you may have to customize yourself! Here are some of the biggest Leopard changes that may demand a change in your mental orientation (with reference, where appropriate, to later sections of this book):
Start by opening up the "Customizing Leopard" PDF that you do have, in Apple's Preview or Adobe Reader, for instance. Then, look on page 1—that's the "cover" page that also has the table of contents on it. Look at the upper right. You should see a Check for Updates link. Click it. From there, you can:
If your button won't click, you likely have the wrong "tool" chosen for your mouse. If you have trouble selecting a different tool, consult the _TidBITS_ article Solve Link-Clicking Problems When Reading PDFs
There are lots of great ways to read our ebooks on these devices. For more details, please read our latest Device Advice.
Feel free to ask us if you have a question about this title!
My son, who has been a TidBITS fan for many years, highly recommended that I buy Take Control of Upgrading to Leopard and Take Control of Customizing Leopard. So I have him and you to thank. I have spent the whole weekend reading both ebooks and tweaking the computer as suggested. As a result I have a friendlier computer, I understand it better, I've had a number of "Wow!" moments, and it will be quicker to use. Thanks to all of you who made this possible.
How could we not publish such kind words? If you'd like to send us your comments (good or bad, though we hope they're all good), just click the Feedback link on the cover of your copy of the ebook. Be sure to let us know if we can publish your comment. Thanks!
We have no plans to update the Leopard edition of this ebook, but new editions about later Big Cat versions of Mac OS X are available, including Take Control of Exploring and Customizing Snow Leopard and Take Control of Using Lion.

In the switch to Mac OS X, what's the worst change, overall, that Apple made to the interface? It's clickthrough. At long last, there's a utility that blocks it. Matt Neuburg, author of Take Control of Customizing Leopard, takes a look at Klicko in his TidBITS article Fix Your Clicks With Klicko.

I recently received an email message asking, "Does your new ebook about customizing Leopard show how to increase the size of the icons in the Finder sidebar? Thanks." Unfortunately, as far as Matt (and I) can figure out, there is no way to increase the size of the icons or of the text. However, if a way of customizing them does come along, we'll certainly want to mention it here and in any future versions of the ebook.

24 Hours In Capricornia
Recently we were lucky enough to have two ABC Open Producers visit Clermont to hold some free photography workshops & a workshop on making time-lapse videos. We had heaps of fun with Lisa & Dan (and one of these days I'll get around to posting the photographs I took that weekend), so when Lisa approached Shannon & I to participate in another project we jumped at the chance.
Lisa had the crazy idea of getting photographers together from all over the Capricornia region to document a period of 24 hours from 12pm on the 31st December 2012 to 12pm on the 1st of January 2013. 22 photographers & 48 photographs later, here is the result (look out for my contributions at 6:44pm & 7:04pm, and Shannon's at 6:00am) :
Both my images were taken on my Canon EOS 50D with a Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM lens. Funny story – when Shannon pointed out the gorgeous colour of the sky at 7:04pm I promptly picked my camera up & ran outside. In my crop top. With bare feet. And without keys. The door blew shut behind me & I ended up having to yell for Shannon to let me back in. Hopefully my street was entertained by the barefoot, half-naked, heavily pregnant woman running around in the street with a camera.

Half-Life 2: Episode Two Review
Played on:
Pentium M 2GHz CPU
GeForce Go 7800GTX
Windows XP
1.7GHz CPU
DX8 Video Card
Windows 2K/XP/Vista
A gamer with an irrational feeling of entitlement might find it easy to rag on Half-Life 2 Episode Two. They might start off by complaining that it took two years for Valve Software to put together five hours of gameplay with a bunch of characters and gameplay ideas they recycled from previous games. Others would complain that it's been almost three years since Half-Life 2 has been released and that this game, which amounts to a stand-alone expansion pack, hasn't changed with the times. Still others would look at Episode Two's $30 price tag separately - not as part of the $50 Orange Box package that Valve Software really wants you to buy this game in - and sum up their complaint by saying that it's too little, too late, and at too high a price.
Sure, you could look at it all these ways, but if you step back a little and consider that the Orange Box is innovation in gaming on a rather new level, one that includes three separate, excellent games that start out similar but all play quite bit differently, I think you'll find that there's a ton of fun and originality in the whole package. That being said, I'm going to assume that if this review compels you to buy Half-Life 2 Episode Two, that you're buying it in the Orange Box along with the other games it includes.
So let's get onto the game. Episode Two picks up minutes after the previous game left off; Gordon Freeman and Alyx Vance are traveling out of City 17, escaping their alien oppressors called the Combine, and still admiring their handiwork in blowing up the top half of the Combine's headquarters, the Citadel. Alyx has intercepted some kind of strange data transmission from the enemy forces and it's not long before she realizes that this data could be the key to saving the human race (again). You play as the voiceless Gordon Freeman in an attempt to get this data to the right places and try to save Earth from further doom. While you'll spend most of the game with Alyx, there are a few twists here and there and maybe a different companion or two. Either way, you're rarely alone in your adventures on the way from City 17 to the human base called White Forest.
Episode Two starts you off easy with some decent storytelling and a re-introduction to the important characters since the previous episode. You'll start off with your signature weapon, the Gravity Gun, a device that lets you grab, move, and throw objects at high speeds. Before you get too far, though, you'll quickly be reunited with the many great weapons of Half-Life 2, and after a rather frustratingly long section in an Eastern European mine against zombies and a few variants of the Antlion and Headcrab aliens, you'll start to really get into the good stuff that made Valve's classic FPS franchise so great. With a good mix of gunplay, light puzzles, and new but somewhat familiar cinematic moments, you'll feel right at home with Episode Two.
Maybe you'll feel a little too familiar with everything, and you can't help but wonder if Half-Life 3 could have been halfway done instead of these two expansions that seem to have taken Valve, in total, three years to make. And maybe they are quietly working on the true sequel, but there's really not much point dwelling on that. It's better to ignore what could have been, or what still might be, and just sit down and enjoy Episode Two for what it is: a very solid first-person game with some moments of great humor and emotion amongst some frantic action, bits of horror, and an excellent, mysterious sci-fi storyline.
It's not all old hat, though, as there are new enemies, a new explosive weapon, and a sweet new ride you'll get to use for a chunk of the game. Well, it's sweet if you like the idea of dredging up skeleton of a muscle car out of a junkyard and getting the old baby running again - this thing's got half a body on it and the engine is exposed, so don't expect too much. What you will like, however, is the sound of this thing. Few games outside of the racing genre are able to get this right, but with the engine sitting out in the open just a few feet in front of you, you'll find that this thing is loud and proud. It fits in perfectly with the Half-Life world too, where the humans still left alive are only just scraping by with the bare essentials, always under the threat of a massive assault by the Combine, the walking dead, or the Antlions.
And that's where Episode Two is probably at its best, as a slightly different look at a post-apocalyptic world where the oppressors are still here, down but not out, and humanity is clinging on to the last strands of survival. It comes through in the excellent voice acting, much of which really does poke fun at Freeman's situation and the staples of the Half-Life series like simple physics puzzles and that magical ability to make it through any situation, no matter how ridiculous. It was only after the game poked fun at itself a few times that I was able to loosen up and enjoy Episode Two much more; of course, getting out of those damnable mines and out into the fresh air for more than two minutes really helped, too.
From a graphics perspective, it seems like Valve has tweaked their lighting and shadow system to be more realistic without just blinding you every time you go from the dark to the light and vice versa. It's more subtle, yet more artistic, and does more than just go nearly pitch black or shine a super-bright light into your eyes. New special effects are in here, too, although the game only uses them sparingly and at the right moments. Finally, some great characters, including the G-Man, Eli Vance, and Dr. Kleiner (and more!) all return in excellent form, seemingly as human-like as ever. The downside is that the minimum requirements have increased somewhat with this episode, but most gamers still won't have too much of a problem with them - they're far more forgiving than many first-person PC games in the last year.
On its own, Episode Two might not seem like much for its price tag, but as part of the Orange Box package, it becomes an excellent value that's packaged alongside two very different first-person games. Everything in here is top-notch, and while I have a hard time agreeing with the notion that Episode Two is really that innovative or new, the games it comes packaged with in the Orange Boxmost certainly are. Play this one once or twice to enjoy another solid Valve single-player experience, then move on to Portal and Team Fortress 2 to find the real depth.

On the Ibuildings techPortal today they've posted the latest podcast in their DPCRadio series - Elizabeth Naramore's presentation on technical debt.
Technical debt is something that most project teams or independent developers have to deal with '" we take shortcuts to push out releases, we don't focus on quality, deadlines need to be met, quick fixes slowly become the standard. Whatever the reason, if we don't manage our technical debt (not unlike financial debt), before too long our applications are technically bankrupt, and we are forced to completely refactor and start anew.
She talks about what technical debt is, when it's okay and when it's not, managing it, how to minimize it and how to address it as both an individual and team. You can either listen via the in-page player or download it directly. She's also posted her slides to her blog.

Zimbabwe was last week basking in temperatures of up to 45C, busting all-time records set as way back as 1954. Beitbridge recorded the highest temperature of 45.9C, just 1.2C more that the national record high.
Bufallo Range reached 44C - the highest ever recorded in the Lowveld - as Zimbabwe groaned under the hottest day of the year so far.
Meteorological Services Department Head Forecasting Services, Tich Zinyemba, said that since last Monday, temperatures had surpassed records set in 1954, with most areas recording a 2 degrees Celsius increase.
The weather forecasters insisted a probe into the reasons and effects amid concerns it could be the effects of climate change.
Zinyema said Zaka had recorded an unusual 42 degrees, surpassing the 39 degrees recorded in 1954, while Zvishavane beat the 1954 record by a degree to reach 41.
The head of the rainfall section in the Meteorological Department, Tirivanhu Muhwati, predicted that temperature rises would usher in violent storms, lightning, thunder and hailstorm during the rainy season.

Rockstar prices GTA IV DLC
Rockstar has confirmed pricing for the first GTA IV DLC episode.
The Lost and the Damned will sell for 1600 Microsoft Points, which works out around £13.60.
Of course, the downloadable content is an Xbox 360 exclusive and is the first of two announced episodes, with the second due later in the year.
The Lost and the Damned will be released on 17 February. Gamers will be able to purchase it from Xbox Live, but it is thought that it will also be available in shops after a number of online retailers listed it for sale.
If this does transpire, you won't be buying a disc, but rather a token card with a unique code instead, obviously with the gift market in mind.
Will you be buying the new DLC?

Continued warming could transform Greater Yellowstone fire regimes by mid-21st century
Westerling Anthony L.; Turner, Monica G.; Smithwick, Erica A. H.; Romme, William H.; Ryan, Michael G. 2011. Continued warming could transform Greater Yellowstone fire regimes by mid-21st century. PNAS. doi: 10.1073/pnas.1110199108.
Climate change is likely to alter wildfire regimes, but the magnitude and timing of potential climate-driven changes in regional fire regimes are not well understood. We considered how the occurrence, size, and spatial location of large fires might respond to climate projections in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem (GYE) (Wyoming), a large wildland ecosystem dominated by conifer forests and characterized by infrequent, high-severity fire. We developed a suite of statistical models that related monthly climate data (1972-1999) to the occurrence and size of fires >200 ha in the northern Rocky Mountains; these models were cross-validated and then used with downscaled (~12 km x 12 km) climate projections from three global climate models to predict fire occurrence and area burned in the GYE through 2099. All models predicted substantial increases in fire by midcentury, with fire rotation (the time to burn an area equal to the landscape area) reduced to <30 y from the historical 100-300 y for most of the GYE. Years without large fires were common historically but are expected to become rare as annual area burned and the frequency of regionally synchronous fires increase. Our findings suggest a shift to novel fire-climate-vegetation relationships in Greater Yellowstone by midcentury because fire frequency and extent would be inconsistent with persistence of the current suite of conifer species. The predicted new fire regime would transform the flora, fauna, and ecosystem processes in this landscape and may indicate similar changes for other subalpine forests.
Keywords: climate change, Greater Yellowstone ecosystem (GYE), fire regimes

We are heading down the road of ADHD diagnosis with my 6 year old. Both his teacher and his doctor are AMAZING with a capital A. The teacher provides TONS of modifications for my son (he is allowed to play with fidget toys when needed, he can chew gum, he can sit in a chair instead of on the carpet-his most challenging place/time in the day, and more)
His doctor is equally amazing, she sees medication as a last resort (or a down the road resort), but is big on dietary changes, high dose fish oil supplements, and chances to move around his body as he needs to.
I am just now looking around at various books about ADHD and Boys with ADHD in particular. One of the themes I notice in a lot of the books is just how important it really is to keep rules VERY firm, and follow through with consequences IMMEDIATELY when there is an infraction.
My parenting skills up until now have included a LOT of connection, discussion, and choice giving so in a way this goes against my parenting instinct. I'm REALLY curious to hear from other AP moms how you deal with your child's ADHD in terms of discipline. If having stricter rules and immediate consequences is the "only way" I guess i'll have to learn to go along with it. I am worreid a little that it might damage our relationship a little as he always counts on me to listen to his perspective and sometimes things are a little more grey than black and white...know what I mean? But at the same time, if i'm in a way making it harder for him to manage his impulsiveness and hyperactivness then of course I want to change what i'm doing to be mroe supportive.
Any book recommendations that include an attachment parent perspective? THANK YOU!
To be clear, for us consequence does not equal punishment. It is both good and bad. So if she refuses to use her table manners, she is excused from the table. If she finishes her school work she gets screen time. At this point, she's ten, she knows the ropes and enforces them herself (sometimes). It's been interesting trying to get her to understand that her brother doesn't have to follow the same rules. He is nine months old.
Also, regarding choices; I have to be very careful what choices, and how many, I offer. "do you want a sandwich or a bowl of soup" works much better than "what do you want for lunch". Too many choices is a big trigger for my kid.
All this is just works for us, and may not have any value for you. As with other areas of parenting, I recommend getting as much info as possible and then doing what works best for your family. We've also had great success with fish oil and going gluten free.
Me + DH = DD (1/2004) & DS (6/2013) & One on the way (11/2015)
Thank you so much for your reply! I guess I have questions about certain things that happen and I just don't know what the right "consequence" is. So one thing he does a lot is like if we are at a fun place (like open gym at the gymnastics place) and it's time to go, he will sneak away from me and RUN full speed back into the building once we have just left.
Should I warn him ahead of time...If you "run" then "X" will happen? I usually tell him that that means next time he won't be able to go to open gym and we do follow through, but yet because we didn't go he didn't really realize what he was missing either so i'm not sure that not-going a week later had much of an impact. OR do I wait until he did do it and then make up some sort of immediate consequence?
And he almost always has an "excuse" for why he does stuff and sometimes...like maybe 33% of the time, I can see his perspective and understand why he did what he did so then I don't impose any sort of consequence but just talk with him about what he should have done and what he will do differently next time, but according to a lot of ADHD resources that sort of talk isn't "enough" for kids to then follow through the next time.
It's so hard to figure this all out :( AND I'm a teacher and pretty well-versed in child development, behavior, gentle discipline, etc. and yet this feels so hard :(
As for the running away, my DD did that too, largely because of a genuine lack of understanding. My concern about it (yours may be different) was primarily safety related. So I explained to my DD why she couldn't run off in public, then let her know that I would have to hold her hand or use a leash whenever we were out unless she stayed next to me. I never had to use a leash (hate those things) but did have to hold her hand sometimes until she was 8 or 9. Unfortunately there were a few times that turned into me dragging a screaming child a block or two, but eventually she got it.
The way I think about rules and consequences is this- why is this rule important? Can I let it go? Is it something I need to physically enforce or can I enlist her cooperation? (stopping her from running off vs getting her to pick up after herself) what is the natural consequence of this? (if you scream at your friends, they don't want to be your friend translates to if you scream at mama, the conversation is over) is this something she is capable of doing? (sometimes I need to adjust my expectations) we always go over the rules, privileges and consequences before hand. Unless there is imminent danger, I give her one reminder of the rule and the consequence, plus a time limit if applicable, before enacting the consequence. Often the response is "sorry mama I forgot." the flip side of this is giving lots of positive reinforcement, extra hugs and kisses, thank you's, telling her when I'm proud. It can be hard to balance that, but isn't it always?
I was a teacher too, befor being a SAHM, and it is so different managing a group than parenting. Take it easy on yourself, this is an evolving process. This is what works for us, and I do think most kids thrive with the predictability that strictly enforcing the rules creates, but don't anything you aren't comfortable with.

You need an immediate consequence. They work better for all kids, not just ADHD kids. A week away consequence is useless or worse since it just breeds resentment while getting you no compliance.
Before you leave the gym, you might try prompting him with something like "If you stay with me and don't run back, then we will do and so-so" some kind of reward. Anyway, plan some strategy that provides a reward for compliance. And also praise him immediately for his cooperation. And, in other situations, praise his cooperation, when you do that cooperation tends to generalize to other situations so that might help with him leaving the gym
Also, try giving him some advanced warning about when you will leave, and get a promise to leave later without running back in return for staying longer.
Or, you could stay longer till he wants to go, and then praise his compliance. That is, set him up to comply and then reward his compliance with praise and positive attention.
I don't know what books you are using, but Kazdin Method very good, the best as far as I can tell. You'd already know about the relative effectiveness of immediate consequences if you already have a book as good as Kazdin Method. You will find Kazdin Method to be more gentile and positive than some other methods that are recommended for ADHD kids, it's a positive discipline method.
I think Kazdin Method is your best shot at avoiding or minimizing medication. There are other books with a similar goal, but Kazdin Method has the most scientific research behind it. Seems that every little detail has been tested to optimize effectiveness. You need good methods even if you have to resort to medications, by the way.

DW's name: Sarah Rose Robinson
DH's name: Brooks Patrick Robinson
Year of marriage: 2019
2019: The newlyweds wanted to start a family as soon as possible. A few months after their honeymoon, they are still not pregnant, but they keep trying. The next time Sarah takes a test, she finds out that they are pregnant! At the first doctor's appointment, the doctor says she sees 4 babies on the ultrasound! They are shocked, but they prepare for the 4 little blessings they are about to have. 7 months later, they welcome 3 beautiful boys and one tiny girl into the world. Their names are Mason Elijah, Isaac James, Liam Alexander, and Mckenna Hope.
2020: As the little ones near their first birthday, Brooks and Sarah prepare to move. They've found a house that's perfect for their family just on the other side of town. It's not easy having 4 less-than-one year olds running around, but the family is happy and healthy. They wouldn't choose to have it any other way.
2021: The quads are 1 and a half! Brooks and Sarah can't believe they've made it this far. They're starting to miss having a baby around, so they decide to adopt. Shortly after, the entire family travels to Russia to pick up the newest member, a 2-month-old named Anastasia Rose. The quads absolutely love her and, of course, the new parents are enchanted by her dark hair and her tinkling laugh.
2022: Mckenna is begging for a kitten and the boys are behind her wholeheartedly. After months of this, Brooks and Sarah oblige and they surprise the kids with a male American shorthair kitten who is immediately dubbed Carter.
2023: Sarah decides it's time to go back to work. She finds an amazing job in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Brooks agrees to move again. It's just as well; their family of 7 is rapidly outgrowing their house. They find a house in suburbia that's large enough for them to add on, which they'd been discussing lately. The move goes smoothly and the kids love their new backyard!
2024: Shortly after the move, Sarah begins to feel sick and she knows right away what it means. Sure enough, her suspicions are confirmed by a pregnancy test. She and Brooks are ecstatic. 9 months later, their precious boy/girl twins are born. All of the children are asked for their opinions on names and the entire family agrees on Elliott Nash and Caroline Ivy, but Ana's inability to pronounce these names quickly shortens them to Nash and Callie.
2025: The twins are only 8 months old when Brooks and Sarah find out they're expecting again, this time with triplets. They cannot believe how blessed they are when all three babies are born healthy. They become parents yet again with two girls and a boy, whom they call Noah Grayson, Alexis Nicole, and Cassia Violet. Again, the girls' names are almost instantly shortened to Lexi and Cas.
2026: This time it's Ana who is begging for a kitten. As the kids have been so responsible with Carter, Brooks and Sarah say yes. Ana picks out another male kitten, the same breed as Carter, at the Humane Society and calls him Nemo.
2027: Sarah and Brooks think they're done having kids, so they're in for quite the surprise when they find out they're expecting twin girls. They are born right on their due date. Their names are Hannah Elizabeth and Abigail Sofia.
2028: Two days before Hannah and Abbey turn one, Sarah goes into labor. The entire family is surprised; she wasn't due for another 2.5 months. By now the Robinsons were plenty used to the NICU, so they felt confident that Josiah Daniel and Amelia Brooklyn, their new twins, would be okay.
2029: Brooks' company offers him a better-paying job in London, England. As Sarah has been a stay-at-home mom since the triplets were born, she was quick to say yes. A little extra money never hurts, so they begin to pack up again. The move was much harder than the first two with all the kids running around, but luckily the company provided them with a gorgeous brick house with white trim in a small town outside of London.
10 years and 13 kids later, Brooks and Sarah are happy as can be. Their large family can be quite tiring, but everyone is happy and healthy, despite most of them being born premature. They have never been closer, so they have no complaints.Anastasia Danielle * Kate Madeleine * Cassia Violet * Maison Sofia

In every case, it's recommended to get rid of SWAPPER before going any further with the installation of this kernel as it's know to cause trouble and is of no need IMHO
I have only tested the MCR package of this kernel with Paul's Modaco Rom aka MCR and particularly v 2.8 & newer nevertheless some users have reported it works very well with 2.7 too
But if you are here, I guess that's what you already have on your Hero ;-)
I f you don't have Modaco Custom ROM and use Generic ROM there is an package for Generic ROMs also available on the website.
New setup changed to make it fully automatic, including init script for compache[/b][/u]
Apply the .zip file update with any recovery method you use to apply Paul's ROM or your Generic ROM.
AMON RA-Hero highly recommended as well a nandroid backup before updating !
Reboot and you are set. That's it, even if you have a swap partition, it won't be used, so no worries if you want to leave it there.
If you don't have it than no worries neither as you don't need it anymore ! ;-)
NEW VERSION 1.91-hero-teknologist
Kernel version:
2.6.27-mck-teknologist-1.91 root@neutrino )
Get changelog,instructions and downloads at the official website here.
As always I am not responsible if your phone turns into a gremlin or something else ;-)
and feedback positive or negative is welcomed !
If you want live updates, follow me on twitter: @teknologism
From now on I will update the site rather than this topic. Topic will be kept as the official support forum.
Download the file from the website (fast mirror) and "How to Install" page available.

Bucs Safety Major Wright Suffers Bruised Back Against Miami
Bucs/NFL Insider
Follow @ JennaLaineBucs
Tampa Bay Buccaneers and former Florida Gators safety Major Wright suffered what he calls a 'bruised back' Saturday night against the Miami Dolphins. Wright said he was going to make a tackle and collided with a teammate in some 'friendly fire.' He is hopeful he can rehab it and be back in time for the remainder of the preseason.
Here, Wright talks about the injury, as well as his impactful play this preseason and what ultimately led him to reunite with head coach Lovie Smith, his former head coach in Chicago.
