Inclusionary zoning, commonly known as inclusionary housing (IH), first originated in the United States in the early‐1970s in the wealthy suburbs of Washington, DC. Since then, the epicenter of IH practice in the U.S. has moved west to California. Today, more than 25 % (145) of the state's local governments have adopted inclusionary policies. These policies vary greatly in detail, but share common characteristics. In contrast, IH in Europe is of newer vintage, emerging mostly in the 1990s as governments began to withdraw from direct provision of social housing and impose affordable housing requirements on private developers. And, unlike Europe, IH in the U.S. is not imposed via national, state, or regional government land use and planning laws, but is, generally, a voluntary election by individual localities. Since 2008, the implosion of the California real estate market and negative court cases have challenged the fundamental assumptions underlying IH and brought the virtual cessation of new IH programs. Some existing programs have been modified, suspended, or repealed. This research discusses the political and ideological debates that inform IH within the American context, profiles the origins and characteristics of these programs, and speculates about the future of IH in view of recent changes in the housing market and the legal environment.

I am launching a blog in April and need some editing doing to the theme and possibly a couple of plugins installing. This is a paid job.
Please answer here if you are interested.
I am launching a blog in April and need some editing doing to the theme and possibly a couple of plugins installing. This is a paid job.
Please answer here if you are interested.
Sure :)
I am ready. please use the contact page at my page. Thanks.
Cheers guys.
I'm also available if you need anything. My website is currently down as I'm moving switching hosts, but you can see some of my work at http://www.tobiasbuckell.com and http://www.gtcentralrotary.org.
I'm for hire and would happily customize a theme for you to include visual changes as well as built in integrated support for whatever plugins you want installed (and can install those plugins for you).
I run a blog on 'How to Blog' at http://www.emilyrobbins.com/how-to-blog/
You can email me at howtoblog @ gmail.com
Best regards,
Theme work, code work and full support.
The whole lot - guaranteed.
tamba2 at gmail dot com and we'll go from there.
Emily, so you are available for work ? I didnt know that.
I could have forwarded some of my clients to you when I am not able to take the project for some reasons.
Sadish, yes, depending on the scope of the project.
I don't have time at the moment to be designing themes from scratch -- but if someone wants an existing theme customized, I can certainly do that (and also add built in integrated support for plugins they use).
I'm also available (for hire) for installing WP and setting it up with the themes and plugins and configurations that they want for those who can't or don't want to do it themselves.
Thanks for the offer to forward some clients my way :)

S'kat's Easy Pizza Dough
Total Time
Prep 2 hrs
Cook 8 mins
Throw away your coupons, put the local greaseries to shame! It's easy to make pizza dough at home! Prep time includes rising time.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 cups water (test on inside of wrist, like for a baby bottle- that's the right temp!)
- 1 (1/4 ounce) packet dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 -4 cups bread flour
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus additional as needed
- Stir together the water, yeast and the sugar.
- Let rest until the yeast foams, about 3 minutes.
- Place 2 1/2-cups of the flour, salt and cornmeal in a mixing bowl and combine.
- Add the yeast mixture and olive oil and stir together to form a sticky dough.
- Remove from bowl and knead, adding the remaining flour a little at a time until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
- The longer you knead, the more texture your dough will have.
- Turn the dough into a lightly oiled bowl.
- Cover with a dry towel and place in a warm, draft free area.
- (I usually stick it in the oven. If your oven is cold, very briefly- about 1 minute- turn to highest temp, then off again, well before placing bowl in oven. Let's not melt any bowls, eh?) Let rise for at least one hour.
- When dough has doubled in bulk, punch back down.
- At this point, add any of the optional ingredients at end of recipe, or as desired.
- Let the dough rise again, until almost doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Or, if there were no extra additions, shape and add toppings.
- Bake at 500°F for about 8 minutes.
- Optional, but worthwhile: fresh herbs (I use basil, oregano and thyme), chopped minced garlic, parmiagiano-reggiano and extra cornmeal for texture.
Most Helpful
This was fantastic. I hated having to wait for it to rise (that's ALWAYS my problem with making bread of any sort!) but, wow, wow, wow, it was really worth the wait! I will print this and put it in my recipe binder and make it many times. I added garlic salt (out of fresh garlic), basil, and oregano to the dough, and for toppings I used sauteed onions, thawed frozen spinach, yellow squash and sun-dried tomatoes. EXCELLENT!!!
it was all right,it is alot of work for all right
Absolutely, hands-down the best pizza dough I've tried thus far. The cornmeal gives it the real "pizza crust" texture as opposed to a lot of other pizza dough recipes I've tried that have a much more bread-like texture. I actually used this to make calzones, not pizza, but you better believe that I will be using this recipe to make pizza in the immediate future. One minor sub- I didnt have any bread flour, so I used King Arthur Brand white (which is higher in protein than most other white flours, so it worked quite well.) Thank you a million for posting this- After a pretty long search, I think this is *the* pizza dough for me.

WATCH: Sean Combs Crashes Downton Abbey, Meets Up With Thomas
Sean Combs must love Downton Abbey. He's inserted himself in every scene in a race to become the show's first black character.
"I am a Abbey head, proudly, yes, yes, yes," he admits in a new Funny or Die video.
For fellow "Abbey heads," this is a must-watch, if not only for his scene with valet Thomas Barrow, the show's gay villain.

Chapter 6 Exam Review: How is Einstein's famous equation, E= mc squared, important in understanding the Sun? It explains the fact that the Sun generates thermal energy by losing some 4 million tons of mass each day . The "lost" 4 million tons is converted to an amount of energy equal to this mass times the speed of light squared. Note that although 4 million tons per day sounds like a lot, it is quite small compared to the Sun's total mass. In what way is Venus most similar to Earth? Both planets are nearly the same size. Imagine that an alien spaceship crashed onto Earth. Which statement would most likely be true? It would crash in the ocean. This is very likely, because the Earth's surface is about ¾ covered by oceans. Which statement about the recently-discovered object Eris is false? It is thought to be the first example of a new class of planet. Actually, it's very similar to Pluto, so it's not a new kind of object. Mars has two moons that are most similar in character to:

My friend Dr. Tina Bird has put together a good list of regulatory requirements that pertain to logging and log retention.
Sorry, this is unrelated and depends on technical support.
I want to know if you could link in a future post to event logging support resources (newsgroup, faqs etc..).
I'm encountering system event log corruption and I want to obtain help, information and support for it.
Hey Sebastian,
I have a post on my sources here:
But our main support page is here:
The main support page has links to our faqs, knowledge base, and our communities site, which in turn has our newsgroups, etc.
Best regards,
Thanks for those.
I read them already but haven't found any topics regarding log's integrity.
I keep on searching.
Here you go:
There are a couple of bugs that resulted in an erroneous corrupt event log file message; you can find these in the Knowledge Base, but they are older issues on Windows 2000 and Windows XP and if you're running recent service packs then those are probably not your problem.
The event log team does not publish the evt file format specification so there is not much else you can do except delete the log files (or move them elsewhere). You could examine them with a hex editor I suppose, but since they're in a binary format they're not very readable.

so I have a user running sudo and they are in both wheel and other_group. other_group shouldn't need a password but wheel does. My question is : does wheel requiring a password for sudo negate the fact that other_group doesn't need a password?
heres a snippet from running
sudo visudo:
## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
## Same thing without a password
# %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
## Allows members of the users group to mount and unmount the

Ian McKellen's 10 Best Movies
In this week's Total Recall, we count down the best-reviewed work of the Mr. Holmes star.
He's played Gandalf, Magneto, and Richard III -- and this weekend, Sir Ian McKellen adds another household name to the long list of characters he's brought to life. We're talking, of course, about Mr. Holmes, director Bill Condon?s adaptation of the Mitch Cullin novel A Slight Trick of the Mind, in which legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes putters through retirement while looking back on a case that's dogged him for decades. In anticipation of seeing McKellen as Holmes, we decided to dedicate this week's list to an appreciation of his fine filmography, including all the expected hits as well as a few surprises. It's elementary -- and it's time for Total Recall!

The highlight of these young-girl vignettes is the envelope-pushing "Sleepover," starring Lee and Gail as the fresh-faced innocents corrupted by Gail's dad, Buck Adams. When Lee spies Adams masturbating, she's fascinated, and after realizing he's beating off over her while she sleeps, she anally seduces him; Gail's awakened by their noise, and voyeurs in.

AbstractThe Navy requires high power laser sources that can provide multi-Watt output power levels in the mid-infrared for optical countermeasures of anti-ship missiles. Current state of art laser transmitters, consisting of diode-pumped solid-state lasers andoptical parametric oscillators, have demonstrated the required optical power and wavelength in the mid-infrared spectral region. However, these laser systems are unreliable, requiring constant maintenance due to component failure or optical misalignment.To improve the performance of next generation countermeasures systems, Aculight Corporation proposes a novel laser source based on emerging fiber-optic technology coupled with an innovative wavelength shifter to provide high power, broad bandwidthradiation in the mid-infrared. In the Phase I, experiments will be performed to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed novel wavelength shifter. A preliminary design of the mid-infrared laser to be built in the Phase II will also be developed.Results from the Phase I will be used in the option task to perform a detailed design of the laser module that will be built in the Phase II. The market targeted for the proposed compact, high-power mid-infrared laser source is the military production ofsuch lasers for Army, Air Force and Navy infrared countermeasures systems.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to add a component I wrote to WordPress as a plugin/widget. I've been going through the Codex and so far everything seems pretty straightforward...define the PHP header, define the functions, and then hook them in using add_filter or add_action. I followed the instructions and managed to install and register my basic, functionless widget. At this point, however, the Codex just stops dead.
The actions listed don't include a awful lot of detail; the parameters are *very* briefly mentioned (what about type? sample data?), return data is often not mentioned at all, and all of the actions/filters link to a blank page ("There is currently no text in this page.") In some cases, it's almost impossible to figure out what they're supposed to do (e.g. function parameter is "array of comment information structures" ... what is this? where is it documented?)
Obviously people are writing plugins and widgets, but where are they getting the information to do this? I downloaded a few widgets and tried to look up the actions/filters they hook into and, in about 60% of the cases, the search on WordPress.org returned no results (even a number of the "typical request" actions listed on the Action Reference -- http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference -- don't seem to exist anywhere on WordPress.org).
What am I missing?
Thanks for your help!

This invention relates generally to a color video system having a color filter wheel for generating color data regarding the primary colors utilized in the system and, in particular, to an open loop drive unit for rotating and filter wheel in synchronization with the video field rate.
As evidenced by the disclosures in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,921,118 and 3,654,385, the use of color filter wheels in video systems has been known for quite some time. For the most part, the drive units for turning the wheels have been rather complex and costly devices generally requiring the use of a feedback network to control the speed of the drive motor. In one such application, an accurately machined light chopper containing a relatively large number of equally spaced grooves or slits is operatively connected to the wheel. The light chopper is arranged to pass between a light source and a photodetector to provide information concerning the wheel's position and its speed. This type of equipment generally consumes a good deal of space and, because of the amount and complexity of the equipment involved, it is relatively expensive and sometimes difficult to maintain.
The use of color video system for viewing remote body regions has become a powerful diagnostic tool in the medical field. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,074,306, a color endoscope is disclosed wherein a filter wheel is employed to sequentially illuminate a target to provide color separated image information which is processed in the video system to present a color separated image of the target area one over the other upon a a television screen. As can be seen, both a sharp image and a faithful reproduction of the original colors is important in making an accurate diagnosis and any loss of image registration on the like will adversely affect the results of the examination.
It should also be noted that most color filter wheel drive systems now in use employ either synchronous AC motors or variable speed DC motors to drive the wheel. In either case, the efficiency of the motor and its associated drive circuitry is relatively low. The use of a stepping motor is therefore very attractive, however, controlling the motor at the required speeds has heretofore been a problem in the art.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to improve color filter wheels drive systems that are used in association with video systems.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a color filter wheel drive system wherein a stepping motor is driven in response to a rate signal derived from a high frequency clock signal of a video system through an openloop speed control unit.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an open loop drive for a stepping motor used to drive a color filter wheel having a phase locked loop which is adapted to ramp the motor from a relatively slow rate until phase locking is achieved.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a stepping motor drive for a color television filter wheel that is both self-starting and self-synchronizing.
These and other objects of the present invention are attained in a color video system having a master video clock for generating a clock signal at a given rate, a filter wheel for advancing a series of different color filters through a fixed optical path, a stepping motor for turning the wheel and an open loop motor control unit for synchronizing the stepping rate of the motor to the field rate of the video system in response to the master clock output signal so that the filters are brought past the fixed optical path in timed sequence with each of the video field periods.
For a better understanding of these and other objects of the present invention, reference is had to the following detailed description of the invention which is to be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing showing a color filter wheel drive system used in a color television system which embodies the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the filter wheel drive unit for synchronizing the stepping rate of the filter wheel drive motor to the video field rate of the television system.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings, there is shown a color filter wheel 10 similar to that described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,074,306 that is arranged to illuminate the target region of an endoscope. Unlike the system disclosed in the subject patent, the filter wheel of the present invention is driven in response to an output signal derived by the master clock of the video system to synchronize the rotational speed of the wheel to the video field rate. The wheel is arranged to rotate a series of different colored filters through a fixed optical path 11 in which is situated a stationary light source 12 used to illuminate a target 13 within the image field of a video camera (not shown) that forms a part of the endoscope's video system 14. The image data provided by the camera is processed in the video system and ultimately presented for viewing on a screen of receiver 16.
The filter wheel contains three separate filters that includes a green filter 17, a red filter 18 and a blue filter 19. The three filters are circumferentially spaced about the wheel so that each filter is passed through the fixed optical path 11 during each 1/3 of a revolution of the wheel. Accordingly, three color separated images of the target are generated during one complete revolution of the wheel. The wheel is directly coupled to a stepping motor 20 via a shaft 21 for rotation therewith. For purposes of explanation, it will be assumed that the motor will advance 15� per step whereby it takes eight steps for each filter to pass through the fixed optical path.
The rotation of the filter wheel is synchronized with the field rate of the video system by means of a control unit 23 that applies a stepping rate signal to the motor driver 24 via line 25 in response to a video clock rate signal provided by the master clock of the video system. A pair of optical switches 27 and 28 are mounted adjacent to the motor shaft 21 whereby each switch is repeatedly opened by a radially extended indexing pin 29 secured to the shaft. As will be explained in greater detail below, the optical switches are adapted to provide information to the control unit relating to the shaft activity.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the control unit 23 of the invention is shown in greater detail. The unit includes a motor synchronization circuit which includes a pair of rate dividers 30 and 31 that are coupled in series through a multiplying phase locked loop 32. The synchronization circuit is arranged between the output of the video timer and the input of the motor driver 24 (FIG. 1). In practice, the two rate dividers are preloaded digital counters having an eight bit input to enable the counters to count down from any desired preselected number or numbers between 1 and 256. As is conventional, the phase lock loop contains a phase comparator 35 that is connected in series with a voltage controlled oscillator 36 through an RC network generally referenced 38. A digital counter 37 provides a feedback circuit between the output of the oscillator and the comparator so that the output rate of the phase locked loop is at some desired multiple of the incoming signal rate furnished by the first rate divider 30.
For explanatory purposes, it shall be assumed that each video field consists of 262.5 lines, each of which contain 130 cycles of the master clock. As noted above, the motor is to be advanced eight steps during each video field. In order that the target be illuminated with one of the primary colors during each field period, the ratio between the master clock frequency and the desired stepping rate is: ##EQU1##
The number of clock cycles generated during each field can be further expressed as a whole number multiplicand, such as 195, and a whole number multiplier, such as 175 (195�175=34125) which are both within the counting range of the divider circuit counters 30 and 31. Accordingly, counter 30 is set to count down, under normal operating conditions, from 195 to 0 before providing an output signal to the phase locked loop while the second counter is set to count down from 175 to 0 before it outputs a signal to the motor driver. Accordingly, the output rate devised by the master clock is reduced by the number of cycles contained in each field. The rate, however, must be increased by a factor of eight in order to provide the desired stepping rate. This is easily accomplished in the present circuit by setting the counter 37 in phase locked loop at an eight count. Accordingly, the output rate of the voltage controlled oscillator 36 is eight times the rate of the feedback to the comparator 35. As can be seen, through use of the open loop synchronization circuit, the speed of the stepping motor is synchronized with the video field rate in response to the output signal of the video master clock.
As should be evident to one skilled in the art, such synchronization of the filter wheel to the video field can be accomplished using low power standard CMOS logic which results in a considerable savings to both space and money when compared to similar devices presently used in the art.
In practice, the operational speed of the filter wheel is well above the speed at which the motor can be stepped discretely between poles. Accordingly, the motor is herein driven in a slewing mode when the wheel is turning at operating speeds. If the desired operational stepping rate were immediately applied to the motor driver at start up, the driver would be unable to handle the high stepping rate and the motor would lock in one position and thus fail to start. The motor therefore must be walked or ramped up to the operational speed at a relatively slow rate. This is achieved through means of an integrating capacitor 39 placed in the coupling network 38 between the phase comparator 35 and the voltage controlled oscillator 36. The capacitor acts in concert with the resistor 40 to establish an RC network having a relatively long time constant. At start up, the charge on the capacitor begins to build up gradually thus correspondingly affecting the stepping rate applied to the driver whereupon the speed of the motor is ramped up slowly to the desired operational rate until such time as phase locking is achieved.
Rotation of the color filter wheel is affirmed by means of the two previously noted optical switches 27 and 28. As the indexing pin 29 is carried through the switches by the rotating shaft output, pulses are generated which are applied to the rotational detector unit 41. Switch 27 is connected via line 42 to the reset terminal of digital counter 44 while switch 28 is connected via line 43 to the reset of a second digital counter 45. Both counters are arranged to count up to 32 stepping pulses before applying an enabling signal to NOR gate 47. If the motor is running at the desired operational speed, each counter is reset every 24 pulses and the count is not reached. Accordingly, the gate holds the base of diode 49 high thus preventing the integrating capacitor from discharging. In the event either switch is not made within the predetermined number of pulses, the output of the gate goes low thus allowing the capacitor to discharge through the diode. This, in turn, causes the motor stepping rate to be slowed whereupon the ramping of the motor back to speed is automatically reinitiated
The present optical switching arrangement thus is capable of affirming rotation of the motor shaft and also provides a means for automatically ramping the motor back up to speed in the event the motor is not properly started or, after it has reached operational speed, the motor is inadvertently stopped or slowed down. By using two switches in the detection circuit, the generation of false signals is also prevented. A false signal of this nature would be generated in a signal switch network if the filter wheel were to be stopped with the pin in the optical path of the switch.
As shown in FIG. 2, the output signal generated by the optical switch 27 is also applied to the pulse signal input of a D-type flip flop 53. The flip flop is contained in a coincidence detector circuit generally referenced 50 that is adapted to monitor the position of the filter wheel and compare its position with one of the video fields to assure that each of the color filters pass through the fixed light path during the appropriate field period. In this particular example, the blue field is utilized to attain indexing data.
The indexing pin is secured to the shaft so that it makes switch 27 at the same time that the blue filter illuminates the target region. As noted above, the filter is adapted to hold the target illuminated during a period equal to about eight steps of the motor which corresponds to a video field period. If properly indexed, the video system will acquire blue, green and red color information during sequential blue, green and red fields.
A gating signal from the blue field indexing circuit in the video system is applied to the flip flop 53 via line 52. The Q output of the flip flop will follow the pulse input from the optical switch that occurs at the beginning of each field. The output of the flip flop is applied to the reset of a coincidence counter 55. If coincidence between the gating and the pulse signal is maintained, the output of the flip flop remains high and the counter is inhibited. In the event the two inputs to the flip flop occur at different times, the flip flop output goes low and the counter begins to count the blue fields. If the counter reaches a preset count before coincidence is reached, an out of synchronous signal is sent to the first divider 30 in the motor synchronization circuit.
The first rate divider 30 is arranged to change the programmed count from 195 to 196 upon the receipt of an out of synchronous signal from the coincidence detector circuit. In the event the blue field indexing signal and the shaft generated pulse signal are not in coincidence and an out of synchronous signal is generated, the divider is set at a 196 count thus causing the filter wheel to rotate slightly slower than normal. The wheel will fall back about 20 for each revolution until such time as the blue field index and the optical switch pulse applied to the flip flop occur at the same time. At this time, the coincidence counter is reset and the divider automatically reverts to a 195 count.
As should now be evident from the disclosure above, the rate of the filter wheel of the present invention is synchronized with the field rate of the associated video system using a highly efficient yet simple open loop system that wastes very little power when compared to comparable closed loop systems presently used in the art. Although the present filter wheel is used to illuminate a target in the image field of an endoscope camera, it should be clear to any skilled in the art that a wheel placed in any optical path of the video system can be similarly controlled without departing from the teachings of the invention.
While this invention has been described with reference to the structure disclosed herein, it is not confined to the details set forth and this application is intended to cover any modifications or changes as may come within the scope of the following claims.

Here's a refreshingly non-online way to shop for old replacement cookbooks or those that are hard to find: call Bonnie Slotnick Cookbooks in New York.
Slotnick, a former editorial assistant who's had her own cozy 350-square-foot shop for about eight years, actually answers the phone and will help find what you're looking for. Time-Life's Foods of the World series? She'll sell the set, or individual volumes. Among the most sought-after, she says, are early Maida Heatter titles and Marcy Goldberg's "Jewish Cookbook.''
But even if you're not on a specific quest, feel free to call and browse her 4,000 titles. Slotnick prides herself on knowing which questions to ask to help you come up with the perfect food-related book. She also carries a collection of late 19th-century and early 20th-century kitchen gadgets such as egg beaters, pancake turners, teapots and pie birds, most of which are nestled among the bookshelves and worth a visit on their own.
Her hours are usually 1 to 7 p.m. six days a week, including most weekends, but call first; the day off she takes depends on her volunteer work.

An Australian man who went missing in Thailand more than a
month ago has been found across the border, reportedly
suffering from memory loss.
Financial consultant Nathan Hansford had last been seen
leaving his home in the Bangkok suburb of Thungkru on January
31, prompting Thai police to launch an investigation last
Late yesterday, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
(DFAT) confirmed Mr Hansford had been located in Cambodia.
"Consular officials in Cambodia are in contact with Mr
Hansford's family," a DFAT spokeswoman told AAP.
A family statement released to Fairfax Media said Mr Hansford
had been involved in a motor vehicle accident and was
suffering from amnesia.
"It is time for us to focus on helping Nathan in his
recovery," the statement said.

Unanswered: Column hide problem
I'm using EXT 4.0.7.
I have 1 column (ColumnZ) on my grid that is set initially to hide: true.
When I go through the code in debug, the column's config for hide = true.
Now I use the column header menu to check (unhide) ColumnZ.
In debug, ColumnZ's hide config still stays true.
Doesn't a columns config get updated?

Middle School Extracurricular Activities
Middle school students planning to participate
in sports will need to have a physical.
Welcome to the 2015-2016 sports year. This year marks the end of an era with the Billings District. We are thrilled to began a partnership with the following schools: Laurel, St. Francis, Hardin, Red Lodge, Huntley, Shepherd, Joliet, Columbus, and Roundup. Seventh and eighth graders will compete in boy's and girl's basketball, cross coutry and track along with girl's volleyball, and 8th grade football. Games will be played both at home and away during the weekdays and also on Saturdays. Along with these sports, the 8th grade girls will continue to have the opportunity to play softball in the Billings league.
The staff and administration are thrilled to be able to once again bring football back to the school and the community. This year will be open to 8th graders only with the hope to expand to 7th graders in the future. Sixth graders will be offered basketball, cross-country, and volleyball. They will play the county schools during the weekdays.
Each student who plans to play sports will be responsible for a $40 fee (football will be slightly higher), a physical that will need to be done at a licensed facility and turned into the school, complete a concussion release form and maintain grades at or above a 60%.
Student council will also be an extracurricular activity that is offered to all 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students.
|Fifth Grade Band
Fifth grade students will have the opportunity to join the fifth grade band this fall. Information will be sent home with interested students the first week of school.
Mrs. Miller
P.E. Uniforms
All middle school students will be required to purchase a PE/Athletic uniform. The cost for the shirt and shorts set is $25. They can be purchased in the middle school office or online payment information can be found at the Lockwood School Extracurricular Web Store link.
These uniforms are to be worn at all times during PE classes and are the uniforms for our sporting events. Please contact the middle school office at 259-0154 (option 3) if you have any questions or need assistance.

It's only been out for a few days and already, its spawned it's first parody. The original video I am referring to is Sh*t Girls Say which in turn could really be translated into what a lot of us homos say. Patrick could count a few that we've noticed each other say around the house. Now, comedian Jeffrey Self has created his own rendition titled Sh*t Gay Guys Say and just like the original, these quotes (while some stereotypical) are pretty bang on. Here are a few of my favorite lines:
And the list goes on. While I don't think that this video has the LOL factor of it's predecessor, it still pokes fun at some classic homo lines or variations of them. Check out the video below for yourself.
Ah, I miss episodes of Sabrina, The Teenage Witch. I used to live for new episodes of the series on Friday nights. Plus, I am a sucker for anything Melissa Joan Hart really. But come on, this show was awesome. Talking cats, magic and a closet that took you places. The best. Unfortunately, the show ended in 2003 but in a new video from Funny or Die, Sabrina and her cat Salem are reunited for a little Mexican dinner date. The result is absolutely hilarious.
Salem and Sabrina are sitting at a table and catching up as Salem is explaining his new career ventures when the restaurants waiter comes up to the table expressing how much he loved the show and how pretty he thinks Melissa Joan Hart is. Then switching gears, Salem brings up the idea that the two of them just practice some magic together. Reluctantly, Melissa agrees and the result is crazy… literally. Watch the video below.
I love Christmas for a few reasons but none make me smile more than a good holiday-themed YouTube video. Every Christmas season, a few videos make their rounds on social network sites to be shared to spread cheer throughout the world. This morning when I woke up, I was treated to this little delight in my news feed and after watching it twice, couldn't help but share it with you guys.
Lip syncing to Mariah Carey's original All I Want For Christmas, the members of the HMS Ocean give us a lip dub like no other. Where we have previously seen one or two service men or women goof around in front of the camera, this video tries to get the whole ship involved including some superior officers. The video has some hilarious moments, some of which I tried to capture in the photo above.
After hearing that troops would be returning home for the holidays, a few team members got together to create a holiday DVD to celebrate the occasion. The result is something we all should share. I wish all of these men and women who served our country a safe return home and Merry Christmas. Now, check out the great video below.
The video itself may be a year old, but it's message is still pretty relevant. What was intended to be a Grade 8 project last year turned into a viral video this week when it was featured on Buzzfeed, AOL and The Huffington Post. Today, it kept popping into my Facebook feed so I thought I should watch it and check it out. I'm glad I did because not only is it hilarious, but it has a good message. Here is what the YouTube user, Grant V aka playahata646 said about the video.
In 8th grade we had a PSA project. ( Public Service Announcement) Don't Say Gay. I chose a funny way to present it. Subscribe! And thanks to my little brother for being the star!
While it doesn't have the production quality of some of the other PSAs out there, it's message is still pretty relevant. The misuse of the word gay has been a tender topic for some for a long time. Patrick even wrote an article last year about the word fag and asked you if using it empowered gays by "taking it back." What do you think? Check out the clever PSA and sound off below.
Earlier today, Tyrell wrote about a faux Siri commercial that Ellen Degeneres did, where Siri recognizes Ellen's voice and becomes completely starstruck and ineffective at helping Ellen accomplish her tasks.
Today, I came across another hilarious video (by CollegeHumor) that I simply could not wait to show you. The following video shows Siri getting caught in the middle of an intense argument between a husband and wife. The argument starts off with, "Tell my wife I'm going to be 30 minutes late." The wife responds, "Tell my husband I'm not surprised." It's all downhill from there and Siri is caught in the middle.
With the Apple commercial music playing in the background, Siri tries to provide solutions to help resolve the argument, but things only get worse. The video is "laugh out loud" funny for sure.
It was another crazy Black Friday in the U.S., as shoppers swarmed into stores to get their insane deals, hopefully getting out alive. Stores like Walmart, Target, and Best Buy were invaded by psycho shoppers that stopped at nothing to get what they came for.
Last year, Donovan, Brian, Tyrell, and myself went down to Seattle for Black Friday to see what all the hype was about, stopping at the Outlets for the midnight madness. Personally, I didn't buy anything that evening (who wants to wait in line that long!?), but found a much more calm (and successful) shopping experience when we hit up the University Village for their deals the next day. I should note that Black Friday doesn't exist in Canada (that's what Boxing Day is for us), but it seems like they're trying to make it happen here, as many stores are having their own Black Friday specials regardless.
Anyway, one of the crazy sought after deals at Walmart in the U.S. was a $2.00 waffle maker. People (some of which really didn't need to be eating any more waffles) where madly trying to grab as many as they could. Luckily, there were no casualties. The same can't be said for other Walmart locations where people were pepper sprayed and others were arrested. Check out some of the videos below.
In Australia, they have this law called the Commonwealth Marriage Act. This disallows same sex partners from getting married. An Australian group called Get Up! are working hard at getting that amended. Along with a petition to sign, they have created a new video simply titled It's Time to help bring awareness to the subject. The video has gone viral not only in Australia but all across the globe.
In the clip, we watch as two men meet for the first time, go on a few dates, meet friends and family, fall in love, move in together, go through hardships and the like. In the end, we watch as "Paul" takes to his knee to propose to his man. Here in Canada, gay marriage has been legal since 2005 and sometimes, I think it's easy to take it for granted. Watch the video and sign the petition to support the amendment. As the video says, it's time.
You can definitely file this under, WTF?! Have you ever seen an octopus walk on land? Right, it sounds like the beginning of really bad magic trick or practical joke. However, a new video that is going insanely viral proves that yes, octopuses can take a stroll on land. I'm not the only one out there that had no idea this was possible right? I thought for sure they wouldn't be able to breathe. Apparently, octopuses climbing out of the water is pretty common.
Octopuses in captivity actually escape their watery enclosures with alarming frequency. While on the move, they have been discovered on carpets, along bookshelves, in a teapot, and inside the aquarium tanks of other fish–upon whom they have usually been dining.
The video you can check out below was captured by a family checking out the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. At the two minute mark, we can watch as the octopus spits out a crab and leaves on the land to continue on his way. It's absolutely remarkable. Nature is so interesting. Who needs National Geographic when you can watch these candidly captured videos on YouTube. Watch the amazing wonder below.

It's really hip to hate religion...I myself am agnostic. But what annoys me about most people (paticularly here and in portland) is they hate or love whatever's hip and trendy to hate or love at that moment in time, without really thinking about it.
Take the knee jerk hatred of religion, paticularly islam and christianity...I'll admit there oppressive now and do little more then maintain the status quo. but at the time of there creation they were radical social movements promising to liberate people from the evil old pagan order.
jesus and muhumed were social reformers
I'm reading this as saying that women are liberated by being Christian and not having sex, and that pagan sex-having women are repressed. A statement that might have been fine and dandy before 1000 AD, but today just grates on my nerves.
You're right, today we do read things in reverse of the cultural change that happened with Constantine I, so...what's the point? That we think differently now than we did back then? Do you ever have a point when you do these thirty-second history lessons?
"covert" ...?
Any excuse to get a photo of Monica Bellucci up, right?
I would imagine the same reason explains why there exist women who don't think burkhas are oppressive.
@2 - perhaps the point is simply that political context can define how we think to a large extent.
Charles, could you please source your contention that paganism as practiced 1500 years ago reinforced male sexual domination? I wouldn't be surprised, but I'd like to see a reference, please.
I think you're onto something here. I never went into a church until age 35 when I became involved in homeless activism and visited several denominations. I felt instinctively that "these places are for the women" but I couldn't put my finger on why. I had an inkling that it had to do with social control, and now you've provided a plausible (though unproven) rationale for the value of a reduced-sex environment.
Please provide some references, if you can. Thanks!
How do you figure that the answer to Constantine's mysterious conversion lies in the women around him and not in his own ambitions/ideology shifts? That's a gigantic leap with nothing to back it up and basically serves as a segue for you to relate the topic back to sex. Pretty tenuous.
Anyway, at that time, Roman women were converting to Christianity because their husbands had to. Sexual mores didn't change immediately; there were plenty of "Christian" women who were so in name only for convenience's sake, just like today.
I think a MUCH more compelling argument could be made for the chastity-as-liberation theory if you look over at the concurrent Egyptian monastic traditions, for instance the Desert Mothers: Sara, Syncletica, and Theodora, to name but a few. Then, skipping a hundred years or two, you've got the Celtic nuns. In the middle ages, convents and monasteries were the intellectual and artistic centers of Europe. A woman's only chance to escape drudgery and sexual slavery as a wife, and to get an education and exposure to the arts, even if she was born to aristocrats, was to renounce sex altogether and join the convent. Not a bad choice at all, I think. Square meals, the promise of ecstatic visions, a community of women to work with? In some convents, even access to what passed as a library? Not bad. In fact, I might even call that a kind of sexual freedom, found within the "confines" of early Christianity.
@7 There's another phonomenon much grieved by some factions of modern Christianity that could be called the effeminization of the faith. (Which, it is presumed, used to be much more masculine and therefore better. I guess.) Even though the ordained leadership of most Christian denominations is male, most lay leaders in the church are female; Sunday school teachers, the volunteers who wash the communion glasses, etc. And despite the predominantly masculine language of Christian theology (father, son, king, war, soldier), the perception is that women have essentially taken over the faith leadership in the homes of America's believers. For many families, that's true; the mothers are the ones getting everyone to church on Sunday. *shrug*
i can only offer for now my own reading of historical material and Virginia Burrus' Chasity as Autonomy: Women in the stories of the Apocraphal Acts.
Not that the Apocrypha isn't fascinating, but if you're hoping to enter into dialogue about sexuality with Christians in the US these days, you're going to hit a brick wall if you use the Apocrypha as support.
i bet Mudede and C. Barnett are at this very moment having a no-holds-barred, eye-scratchy catfight in the Stranger newsroom over Mudede's latest "help-me-decide-if-i'm-a-male-feminist-or-simply-a-misogynist-in-denial" SLOG post.
meow! hiss! scratch!
Thank you for this thoughtful article. It's becoming a well-thought-of theroy among medieval historians; because not only did Christianity give women power over their bodies, but over their minds. No where else were women as educated and empowered as they were in convents. They could read, they could write, and they could own land through the church. They were not forced to marry to survive, and they gained respect as having a place in society.
Furthermore, it's a well known but little discussed fact that many of Jesus' disciples were women. Never in the Judasm tradition could women travel with any but their husbands, but they followed Jesus. Jesus actually first appeared, after his resurrection, to women! If you look at the Bible as nothing other than ancient literature, that's a powerful plot point.
The point is, as always, people need to know the past before they could accurately discuss the present. Christianity was once the oppressed religion that taught equality of humans (we are all sinners) regardless of class or sex (Jesus talking to the adultress at the well, Jesus taking in the tax collector, Jesus denouncing the rich man who gave little for the poor woman who gave much) and tolerance ("Turn the other cheek," "Love thy enemy") and maybe, just maybe, with hard work, we can go back.
Whoa, you're totally an Anglican now.
I think the notion that Christianity conveyed autonomy-cum-chastity conveniently ignores not only the valuation of chastity in the Jewish tradition, but also various 'sacred virgins' in pagan religions.
As for corporeal power, Rome's vestal virgins, e.g., were the only women in Rome who were allowed to hold and own property and could testify without taking an oath and pardon the condemned. That's 4-5 centuries at least before Christ; the nunneries that you speak of didn't come until 5 centuries after.
Christ and his followers didn't invent the wheel; they just appropriated it.
Your theory on the role of women in the culture of the time and paganism - doesn't take into account the life of Hypatia of Alexandria.
If the paganism of the time could empower a woman like Hypatia I'm sure there were others that we know nothing about - that were equally made strong in the arms of neoplatonism/paganism. I think there was more involved in the conversion of Constantine than the encounter with Christianity that the women surrounding him experienced.
If he was part of a system that denigrated women - did he just have change of heart because his mom started worshipping the new god on the block? It doesn't float.
Hey Charles --
Amazing what happens when you use the words sex and religion in the same sentence, isn't it?
If I remember right, Constantine's ma gets the credit more for creating Israeli tourism than for anything else. By her time, most of those uppity early Christian females had been put into their institutionalized Church place, in large part precisely by the whole chastity thing.
As I see it, the attraction of early Christianity for women was that even in the red-letter stuff in the four canonized gospels, that man was preaching a revolutionary social movement of equality and justice. That is, he was preaching liberation theology. For women and for men.
And by Constantine's time, that's exactly what was being stuffed into the closet as thoroughly as possible. The powers-that-be absorb the threat of a revolutionary new religion by co-opting it -- happens all the time. Same story with early Islam.
Anyone in search of more detail on women preachers, sect leaders, bishops etc in early Christianity might start in three places:
1. pages 200-204 of my book 'Mary: a flesh-and-blood biography'
2. the section on God the Father/God the Mother in Elaine Pagel's 'The Gnostic Gospels'
3. the section on heresy as women's religion and women's religion as heresy in Ross Shepard Kraemer's 'Her Share of the Blessings.'
Bravo, Charles! That was superbly interesting and insightful. I think it's interesting, too, how Christianity can't seem to thrive without persecution--that is, historically, the periods in which Christianity was persecuted the most, while it took a few decades for the effects to show up, it thrived the most. What do you think, Charles?
Cosign on Elaine Pagels' work. Check it out, Charles. (And read Athanasius' Life of Antony' while you're at it!)
You know, we don't have to stick with the religions that already exist. We could always be ridiculously naive and optimistic and start a new one -- a kind of anti-Religion religion. A gnostic agnostic (g)non-religion.
Anyone ever read Luke Rinehart's 'The Dice Man'? Or Gore Vidal's 'Kalki'? Is there something in the very idea of religion that leads inevitably to its calcification?
