I'm often told by those in the cloud computing industry that the rise of cloud computing is a new, unique phenomenon. I'm not sure that's completely true.
I've often pointed out in this blog that the rise of cloud computing has some parallels with the rise of the Web and the technology created to support the Web in the 1990s. There were clear mistakes made back then, and it appears that some of us are doomed to repeat them.
[ Get the no-nonsense explanations and advice you need to take real advantage of cloud computing in InfoWorld editors' 21-page Cloud Computing Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay up on the cloud with InfoWorld's Cloud Computing Report newsletter. ]
The more obvious potential repeat is the pushback on cloud computing based on claims it is a fad and a security threat. This results in delayed acceptance and planning activities. Déjà vu: Many companies in the 1990s viewed the rise of the Web as a flash in the pan or something that would not last, as well as a "security threat." They did not embrace the Web or the emerging value of the technology.
As a result, many organizations ended up playing catch-up when they finally understood the potential of the early Web. However, many never made up that ground and suffered greatly as a result. Some even lost their market -- for example, newspapers, magazines, and bookstores.
Today, many people are pushing back on cloud computing as trendy and unsecure. Many of the Global 2000 companies refuse to even look at cloud computing technology. Moreover, many larger technology providers have done a poor job of retooling for opportunities around cloud computing.
I believe those same companies will end up playing catch-up in the next few years -- and many won't ever narrow the gap. It will be ironic and sad if the same company makes the same mistake twice, first in the Web and now in the cloud.
This is not to say that cloud computing is all that and a bag of chips. It's just another opportunity to do more with less, using better technology. The rise of the Web 20 years ago also provided us with a new platform. The traditional Web was primarily a standard mechanism for content distribution, providing an effective and inexpensive technology that replaced technology that was neither. In the same regard, cloud computing is proven to be a standard approach for using applications and infrastructure that's also proven to be effective and inexpensive.
There are obvious parallels, and we need to make sure we don't make the same mistakes twice.

Former Lynnwood boys basketball head coach Darrell McNeal has been named the new Cascade boys basketball head coach, the school announced on Monday.
McNeal, a 1988 Cascade High graduate, was the Lynnwood head coach from 2008-2012 and was a Royals assistant for six years before that. He was an assistant at Mariner and Cascade also and spent one season as an assitant for the Edmonds Community College men's team.
As a player, McNeal was a guard who started two seasons at Cascade before playing for Edmonds CC.
Scheffler resigns
Shorewood boys basketball head coach Ben Scheffler, who was hired just one year ago, resigned earlier this month, according to the school.

Washington • Thousands of people, many holding signs with names of gun violence victims and messages such as "Ban Assault Weapons Now," joined a rally for gun control on Saturday, marching from the Capitol to the Washington Monument.
Leading the crowd were marchers with "We Are Sandy Hook" signs, paying tribute to victims of the December school shooting in Newtown, Conn. Washington Mayor Vincent Gray and other city officials marched alongside them. The crowd stretched for at least two blocks along Constitution Avenue.
Participants held signs reading "Gun Control Now," "Stop NRA" and "What Would Jesus Pack?" among other messages. Other signs were simple and white, with the names of victims of gun violence.
About 100 residents from Newtown, where a gunman killed 20 first-graders and six teachers, traveled to Washington together, organizers said.
Once the crowd arrived at the monument, speakers called for a ban on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition and for universal background checks on gun sales.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan told the crowd it's not about taking away Second Amendment gun rights, but about gun safety and saving lives. He said he and President Barack Obama would do everything they could to enact gun control policies.

Today marks the online release of a film that showcases an incredible story of courage, passion and action for change. Produced by RED REEL and very well-received at its world premiere at Mountainfilm, the fourth MoveShake series presents 'Gregg Treinish, A MoveShake Story', which takes us on Gregg's journey as the founder of the non-profit Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation (ASC).
At its core, ASC bases everything on the natural connection between adventure and science. It operates by asking adventure athletes who are traveling the globe to collect scientific data, which is then collected and presented to researchers. In essence, ASC uses the adventurer as the middle man, who willingly performs the task of, as ASC puts it on their website, "getting expensive, time consuming, and difficult to reach information from the remote corners of the globe."
As this MoveShake film so readily presents, Gregg has dedicated himself to this organization that's experiencing rapid growth and support. But the film delves deeper, revealing "the reality of day to day life." From the Vimeo film description:
"In this story we hear how Gregg struggles to balance the responsibility he feels toward the environment with the relationship he holds dear. We'll follow Gregg during one difficult expedition where he realizes that relationships are what give us the courage to make change in the first place."
Want to support ASC? The organization is currently raising money to support adventure science expeditions for young students. Donate to the cause and contribute to the experience of a lifetime for some seriously lucky kids.

On the last morning of Reinvention, attendees gathered to hear three successful firms talk about their unusual practice models. First up were Luis Ibarra and Teresa Rosano, RA, LEED AP, of Ibarra Rosano Design Architects, residential architect's 2008 Rising Star winner. The dynamic couple from Tucson, Ariz., detailed the evolution of their sister development company, Dreamspace, which they run along with designer/builder Page Repp Jr. and former clients Jerry and Desi Winter. "We are fascinated by the ability architecture has to define the world around us," Ibarra said. "For us, architecture is about inhabiting time more than space."
The enterprising Chris Krager, AIA, of KRDB followed Ibarra and Rosano. He explained the way his business background informed the setup of his design/build firm in Austin, Texas. Krager said he takes a "macro" view of sustainability, emphasizing urban infill because of its inherent environmental benefits. He described the diverse range of project types KRDB does, from spec houses to developer commissions to custom homes for clients, not to mention modular and not-for-profit work. And he explained his smart, pragmatic approach of working with progressive government and nonprofit groups to get projects built.
After Krager came F. Cecil Baker, AIA, residential architect's 2008 Hall of Fame winner. Baker regaled the audience with tales of his development work during recessions, starting in the 1970s. His story of revamping Philadelphia's Candy Factory Court and other later projects, mixed with his conviction that he's always been an architect who sometimes develops, rather than the other way around, left attendees feeling inspired about the possibilities present in lean economic times. "As architects, we have two eyes that see things most people do not see," he said. "We are what developers pay for."

Well i just burned the iso of backtack 2, booted it up and when everything loads and i try and login with:
User: "root"
i get login incorrect, i keep trying but no luck
Whats wrong?
1) Did you verify the MD5 of the download before you burned the ISO?
2) Did you burn or CDR or CDRW?
3) What speed did you burn at?
4) Have you tried the CD in another system?
5) What software did you use to burn the CD?
6) What are the contents of the burnt CD?
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.

Texas Eyes Disgraced Official in DA Killings
(NEWSER) – Investigators are zeroing in on a former official as they investigate the deaths of two Texas prosecutors. The fired local official had threatened victims Mike McLelland and Mark Hasse, insiders tell the Los Angeles Times. The unnamed person of interest was convicted two years ago of stealing public property and placed on probation; during the case, he threatened revenge on the prosecutors and said he'd burn down a lawyer's house, the official sources say. Investigators found guns at the fired official's house, including an assault rifle and survivalist materials.

Gray passes pro test with flying colors
Rockies prospect stands out among Draft Class of '13 hurlers
By Josh Jackson / MiLB.com | October 15, 2013 6:00 AM ET
Jonathan Gray, Rockies
You'd think Jonathan Gray couldn't have asked anything more of himself in his debut season.
You'd be wrong.
The third overall pick in this year's Draft -- and the Rockies' top prospect -- struck out 51 and walked eight over 37 1/3 innings across two levels. He went 4-0 with a 0.75 ERA in the California League, where untested pitchers often look like they're throwing batting practice.
A standout at the University of Oklahoma, Gray was twice named Cal League Pitcher of the Week after compiling a 4.05 ERA in four starts with Rookie-level Grand Junction in the Pioneer League. Despite pitching in hitters' havens, he did not allow a home run.
So what's left on his to-do list?
"I still want to work on using my changeup more in games," Gray said. "I only threw it four or five times [in my last start]. I got a couple misses and a foul ball."
Gray can light up radar guns with a 99 mph fastball but hopes to reach the point where he's comfortable going to his off-speed stuff more often.
"I'd like to use [my changeup] about 15 times [a start]," he said.
Based on the success he had in his first crack at pro ball, there's no telling what could happen if he builds confidence in his secondary pitches.
Kohl Stewart, Twins
The Twins, meanwhile, had to like what they saw from their top pick. Kohl Stewart, drafted fourth overall out of St. Pius X High School in Houston and away from a commitment to play quarterback at Texas A&M, didn't pitch much in his pro debut, but he pitched well. The 19-year-old right-hander struck out 16 and allowed seven runs -- three earned -- over 16 innings in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League, then fanned eight over four scoreless frames in the Appalachian League.
"The biggest thing -- you don't get to see stuff too much since we only saw him for one start -- but we saw his competitive nature," Elizabethton pitching coach Henry Bonilla said of the organization's fourth-ranked prospect. "You could see how he was competing with the other kids in workouts and in bullpen sessions. Part of that probably comes from his football background.
"He definitely has a live fastball. He throws pretty hard. Guys who are just 18-19 out of high school don't have much feel for their stuff, so he's just a thrower right now. He does have some feel. And he definitely has a live fastball."
Mark Appel, Astros
Mark Appel, who was this year's No. 1 overall pick and already is MLB.com's 24th overall prospect, didn't disappoint but didn't end up pitching all that much. The Astros shut down the Stanford product after he went 3-1 with a 3.79 ERA between short-season Tri-City and Class A Quad Cities. Including his time with the Cardinal, the 22-year-old right-hander threw 144 1/3 innings this year.
"Overall, I think it was a very successful introduction to pro ball," Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow told the Houston Chronicle. "In the past, most of the top picks weren't signed until August. Players are signing sooner and getting out sooner, so you have to be very careful."
Appel allowed two runs over his final 10 innings and, after his penultimate outing, told MiLB.com he did not feel fatigued.
"I feel like I've got 15 more starts [in me]," he said, "so it's not my call to call it quits or say when I'm done."
Chris Anderson, Dodgers
Chris Anderson, whom the Dodgers plucked from Jacksonville University with the 18th overall pick, needed only 46 innings in the Class A Midwest League to register his first 50 strikeouts as a pro. He went 3-0 with a 1.96 ERA, while second-round pick Tom Windle was 5-1 with a 2.86 ERA and 51 strikeouts in 53 2/3 innings on the same Great Lakes staff. The teammates pitched against one another in high school.
Anderson is ranked seventh among Dodgers prospects, two spots ahead of Windle.
Aaron Blair, D-backs
Aaron Blair -- the D-backs' first-round pick and No. 16 prospect -- was 1-3 between short-season Hillsboro and Class A South Bend, combining for a 3.14 ERA.
A trio of this year's draftees showed such command that they earned spots in the prospect-laden Arizona Fall League.
Michael Lorenzen, Reds
Michael Lorenzen worked his way through four levels after being drafted 38th overall and becoming the Reds' No. 6 prospect. He reached the Double-A Southern League, where he was unscored upon in four of seven relief appearances before joining Glendale.
Corey Knebel, Tigers
Mesa has University of Texas product Corey Knebel, who made 31 appearances out of the bullpen for Class A West Michigan. Drafted one spot after Lorenzen, he went 2-1 with a 0.87 ERA, 15 saves and 41 strikeouts in 31 innings, climbing to No. 15 among Tigers prospects.
Colby Suggs, Marlins
Marlins second-rounder Colby Suggs is Lorenzen's AFL teammate after posting a 3.29 ERA in 22 relief outings with the GCL Marlins, short-season Jamestown and Class A Advanced Jupiter.

Video: How to Pour a Concrete Slab
Project overview and what you can save
Forming and pouring a concrete slab can be intimidating. Your heart races because you know that any mistake, even a little one, can quickly turn your slab into a big mess, a mistake literally cast in stone.
In this article, we'll walk you through the slab-pouring process so you get it right the first time. We'll pay particular attention to the tough parts where you're most likely to goof.
Still, pouring a large concrete slab isn't a job for a beginner. If you haven't worked with concrete, start with a small sidewalk or garden shed floor before attempting a garage-size slab like this. Even if you've got a few small jobs under your belt, it's a good idea to find an experienced helper. In addition to standard carpentry tools, you'll need a number of special tools to finish a large slab (see the Tool List below).
The bulk of the work for a new slab is in the excavation and form building. If you have to level a sloped site or bring in a lot of fill, hire an excavator for a day to help prepare the site. Then figure on spending a day building the forms and another pouring the slab.
In our area, hiring a concrete contractor to pour a 16 x 20-ft. slab like this one would cost $3,000 to $4,000. The amount of money you'll save by doing the work yourself depends mostly on whether you have to hire an excavator. In most cases, you'll save 30 to 50 percent by doing your own work.
Step 1: Prepare the site
Before you get started, contact your local building department to see whether a permit is required and how close to the lot lines you can build. In most cases, you'll measure from the lot line to position the slab parallel to it. Then drive four stakes to roughly indicate the corners of the new slab. With the approximate size and location marked, use a line level and string or builder's level to see how much the ground slopes. Flattening a sloped site means moving tons of soil. You can build up the low side as we did, or dig the high side into the slope and add a low retaining wall to hold back the soil.
Your concrete slab will last longer, with less cracking and movement, if it's built on solid, well-drained soil. If you have sandy soil, you're in luck. Just scrape off the sod and topsoil and add gravel fill if needed. If you have clay or loam soil, you should remove enough to allow a 6- to 8-in. layer of compacted gravel under the new concrete.
If you have to remove more than a few inches of dirt, consider renting a skid loader or hiring an excavator. An excavator can also help you get rid of excess soil.
Note: Before you do any digging, call 811 or visit call811.com to arrange to have your local utilities locate and mark buried pipes and wires.
Step 2: Build strong, level forms for a perfect slab
Start by choosing straight form boards. For a 5-in.-thick slab with thickened edges, which is perfect for most garages and sheds, 2x12 boards work best. For a driveway or other slab without thickened edges, use 2x6s. If you can't get long enough boards, splice them together by nailing a 4-ft. 2x12 cleat over the joint. Sight down the boards to make sure they're aligned and straight before nailing on the cleat. Cut the two side form boards 3 in. longer than the length of the slab. Then cut the end boards to the exact width of the slab. You'll nail the end boards between the side boards to create the correct size form. Use 16d duplex (double-headed) nails to connect the form boards and attach the bracing. Nail through the stakes into the forms.
Photos 1 – 3 show how to build the forms. Measure from the lot line to position the first side and level it at the desired height. For speed and accuracy, use a builder's level (Photo 1), a transit or a laser level to set the height of the forms.
Brace the forms to ensure straight sides Freshly poured concrete can push form boards outward, leaving your slab with a curved edge that's almost impossible to fix. The best way to avoid this is with extra strong bracing. Place 2x4 stakes and 2x4 kickers every 2 ft. along the form boards for support (Photo 2). Kickers slant down into the ground and keep the top of the stakes from bending outward.
Stretch a strong string (mason's line) along the top edge of the form board. As you set the braces, make sure the form board lines up with the string. Adjust the braces to keep the form board straight. Cut stakes long enough so that when they're driven at least 8 in. into the ground (4 in. more in loose, sandy soil), the tops will be slightly below the top of the forms. Cut points on the kickers and drive them into the ground at an angle. Then nail the top of the kickers to the stakes. If your soil is sandy or loose, cut both ends of the kickers square and drive a small stake to hold the lower end of the kicker in place.
Photo 3 shows measuring diagonally to set the second form board perfectly square with the first. Use the 3-4-5 method. Measure and mark a multiple of 3 ft. on one side. (In our case, this is 15 ft.) Then mark a multiple of 4 ft. on the adjacent side (20 ft. for our slab). Remember to measure from the same point where the two sides meet. Finally, adjust the position of the unbraced form board until the diagonal measurement is a multiple of 5 (25 ft. in this case).
Squaring the second form board is easiest if you prop it level on a stack of 2x4s (Photo 3) and slide it back and forth until the diagonal measurement is correct. Then drive a stake behind the end of the form board and nail through the stake into the form. Complete the second side by leveling and bracing the form board.
Set the third form board parallel to the first one. Leave the fourth side off until you've hauled in and tamped the fill.
Tip: Leveling the forms is easier if you leave one end of the form board slightly high when you nail it to the stake. Then adjust the height by tapping the stake on the high end with a maul until the board is perfectly level.
Step 3: Build up the base and pack it
The key to crack-resistant concrete is a firm base that drains well. Unless you have sandy soil, this means adding a layer of gravel. With the forms in place, you can estimate how much fill you need. To calculate the amount of fill needed, stretch a string across the top of the forms and measure down to the ground. Do this in three or four spots and average the results. Subtract the thickness of your slab. Then use this depth to calculate the cubic yards of fill needed. Look for a supplier under "Sand and Gravel" in the yellow pages. Ask what your supplier recommends for fill under slabs. We used crushed concrete, which compacts and drains well.
Spread the fill in layers no more than 3 in. thick and tamp each layer with a rented plate compactor (Photo 4A). Leave a 12-in.-deep by 12-in.-wide trench around the perimeter for the thickened edge. If you're building a heated structure on the slab, cover the ground inside the forms with 6-mil polyethylene sheeting. Otherwise you can leave it uncovered.
Video: How to Mix Concrete
Step 4: Strengthen the slab with steel bar
Concrete needs reinforcement for added strength and crack resistance. It's well worth the small additional cost and labor to install 1/2-in. rebar (steel reinforcing bar). You'll find rebar at home centers and at suppliers of concrete and masonry products (in 20-ft. lengths).You'll also need a bundle of tie wires and a tie-wire twisting tool to connect the rebar (Photo 5).
Use a metal-cutting blade or disc in a reciprocating saw, circular saw or grinder to cut the rebar. Cut and bend pieces of rebar to form the perimeter reinforcing. Splice the pieces together by overlapping them at least 6 in. and wrapping tie wire around the overlap. Wire the perimeter rebar to rebar stakes for support. Then cut and lay out pieces in a 4-ft.-on-center grid pattern. Wire the intersections together. You'll pull the grid up into the center of the concrete as you pour the slab.
If you've never poured a large slab or if the weather is hot and dry, which makes concrete harden quickly, divide this slab down the middle and fill the halves on different days to reduce the amount of concrete you'll have to finish at one time (Photo 6). Remove the divider before pouring the second half.
Mark the position of the door openings on the forms. Then mark the location of the anchor bolts on the forms. Place marks for anchor bolts 6 in. from each side of doors, 12 in. from corners and 6 ft. apart around the perimeter (Photo 10).
Step 5: Prepare for the concrete truck
Pouring concrete is fast-paced work. To reduce stress and avoid mistakes, make sure everything is ready before the truck arrives.
Triple-check your forms to make sure they're square, level, straight and well braced. Have at least two contractor-grade wheelbarrows on hand and three or four strong helpers. Plan the route the truck will take. For large slabs, it's best if the truck can back up to the forms. Avoid hot, windy days if possible. This kind of weather accelerates the hardening process—a slab can turn hard before you have time to trowel a nice smooth finish. If the forecast calls for rain, reschedule the concrete delivery to a dry day. Rain will ruin the surface.
To figure the volume of concrete needed, multiply the length by the width by the depth (in feet) to arrive at the number of cubic feet. Don't forget to account for the trenched perimeter. Divide the total by 27 and add 5 percent to calculate the number of yards of concrete you'll need. Our slab required 7 yards. Call the ready mix company at least a day in advance and explain your project. Most dispatchers are quite helpful and can recommend the best mix. For a large slab like ours that may have occasional vehicle traffic, we ordered a 3,500-lb. mix with 5 percent air entrainment. The air entrainment traps microscopic bubbles that help concrete withstand freezing temperatures.
Step 6: Pour and flatten the concrete
Photo 8: Flatten with a bull float
Push a bull float across the screeded concrete, keeping the leading edge slightly elevated. When you reach the far side, lift the handle enough to slightly elevate the edge closest to you and pull back to the starting point. Move over and repeat, overlapping the previously floated surface by about one-third.
Be prepared to hustle when the truck arrives. Start by placing concrete in the forms farthest from the truck. Use wheelbarrows where necessary.
Concrete is too heavy to shovel or push more than a few feet. Place the concrete close to its final spot and roughly level it with a rake. Try to leave it just slightly over the top of the forms. Lift the rebar to position it in the middle of the slab as you go. As soon as the concrete is placed in the forms, start striking it off even with the top of the form boards with a straight, smooth 2x4 screed board (Photo 7). Tip the top of the screed board back slightly as you drag it toward you in a back-and-forth sawing motion.
The trick to easy screeding is to have a helper with a rake moving the concrete in front of the screed board. You want enough concrete to fill all voids, but not so much that it's difficult to pull the board. About 1/2 to 1 in. deep in front of the screed board is about right. It's better to make several passes with the screed board, moving a little concrete each time, than to try to pull a lot of concrete at once.
Start bull-floating the concrete as soon as possible after screeding (Photo 8). The goal is to remove marks left by screeding and fill in low spots to create a flat, level surface. Bull-floating also forces larger aggregate below the surface. Keep the leading edge of the float just slightly above the surface by raising or lowering the float handle. If the float angle is too steep, you'll plow the wet concrete and create low spots. Three or four passes with the bull float is usually sufficient. Too much floating can weaken the surface by drawing up too much water and cement.
Step 7: Float and trowel for a smooth finish
After you smooth the slab with the bull float, water will "bleed" out of the concrete and sit on the surface. Wait for the water to disappear and for the slab to harden slightly before you resume finishing. When the slab is firm enough to resist an imprint from your thumb, start hand-floating. On cool days, you may have to wait an hour or two to start floating and troweling. On hot, dry days, you have to hustle.
You can edge the slab before it gets firm since you don't have to kneel on the slab (Photo 9). If the edger sinks in and leaves a track that's more than 1/8 in. deep, wait for the slab to harden slightly before proceeding.
You'll have to wait until the concrete can support your weight to start grooving the slab. Cut 2-ft. squares of 1-1/2-in.-thick foam insulation for use as kneeling boards. The kneeling board distributes your weight, allowing you to get an earlier start.
Grooving creates a weakened spot in the concrete that allows the inevitable shrinkage cracking to take place at the groove rather than at some random spot. Cut grooves about every 10 ft. in large slabs.
When you're done grooving, smooth the concrete (Photo 12) with a magnesium float. Hand floating removes imperfections and pushes pebbles below the surface. Use the float to remove the marks left by edging and smooth out humps and dips left by the bull float. You may have to bear down on the float if the concrete is starting to harden. The goal is to bring a slurry of cement to the surface to aid in troweling.
For a smoother, denser finish, follow the magnesium float with a steel trowel. Troweling is one of the trickier steps in concrete finishing. You'll have to practice to develop a feel for it. For a really smooth finish, repeat the troweling step two or three times, letting the concrete harden a bit between each pass. At first, hold the trowel almost flat, elevating the leading edge just enough to avoid gouging the surface. On each successive pass, lift the leading edge of the trowel a little more. If you want a rougher, nonslip surface, you can skip the steel trowel altogether. Instead, drag a push broom over the surface to create a "broom finish."
Keep concrete moist after it's poured so it cures slowly and develops maximum strength. The easiest way to ensure proper curing is to spray the finished concrete with curing compound. Curing compound is available at home centers. Follow the instructions on the label. Use a regular garden sprayer to apply the compound. You can lay plastic over the concrete instead, although this can lead to discoloration of the surface.
Let the finished slab harden overnight before you carefully remove the form boards. Pull the duplex nails from the corners and kickers and pry up on the stakes with a shovel to loosen and remove the forms. Since the concrete surface will be soft and easy to chip or scratch, wait for a day or two before building on the slab.
Working Safely with Concrete
Wet concrete on skin can cause everything from mild redness to third-degree, permanently disfiguring chemical burns. You and your helpers should take these steps:
- Wear eye protection. Sandy concrete splashes can wreak havoc with your eyes.
- Wear long pants and long sleeves to protect your skin.
- Wear tall rubber boots if you have to wade in wet concrete.
- Wear gloves (rubber gloves are the safest bet).

Desiree Young Drops Her Civil Suit
Choking back tears Kyron Horman's birth mother announced she is dropping her civil suit against the missing boy's stepmother.
Desiree Young, Kyron Horman's birth mother has worked tirelessly for 3 years to find the son who disappeared from a Portland school.
Talking to the missing boy Desiree said "Ky, it has been three years since you were taken from me and everyday you are not here safe in my arms is another day of agonizing torture."
But Desiree is dropping the civil suit she hoped would force Kyron's stepmother, Terri Horman, to talk. "I don't want anything to compromise the ongoing investigation for Kyron" she said.
Desiree says she reached the decision about a week ago. Her attorney, Elden Rosenthal, adds "we recently learned that Dee Dee Spicher did appear in front of the grand jury a week or two ago. We don't know what she said."
Spicher is a friend of Terri Horman who has also been reluctant to talk.

Writer's Retreat
News & Events
Bruce Machart, associate professor of English, spent the month of May as the writer-in-residence for the Aspen Writers' Foundation. The program brings selected writers to Woody Creek for a month-long stay at the Catto family ranch.
According to an article in the Aspen Times, Professor Machart arrived with 150 pages of his next novel, tentatively titled, Until Daylight Delivers Me, and hoped to add another 100 while in Colorado.
The book is not a sequel to his acclaimed 2010 novel The Wake of Forgiveness, he told the paper, but draws on some of the same locales and characters.

The weather's warming up, Memorial Day has passed and soon school will be out for summer! Customer Service representative Seneca and her son, Staccato, are excited to get in some quality mother-son time this summer. Their first project? Conner's Kit for Kids—Crystal Explosion. Seneca hopes the activity proves educational. Will Staccato find the kit entertaining as well?
1.) Product name: Connor's Kit for Kids–Crystal Explosion.
2.) Background Research:
My 9-year-old son and I are always looking for new and fun ways to spend some quality time when at home. I want him to have fun. However, learning and exploring new things is a top priority. Lucky for me, my son loves science! We recently completed a Science Fair project for school, yet still had the science bug and wanted to do more…for fun! Enter Connor's Kits for Kids. We decided to try the Crystal Explosion first.
3.) Hypothesis:
This hands-on experiment is kid friendly and one of the easiest and most fun kits I have ever seen. This will encourage him to have confidence in his own ability as well as show him how fun learning (and science) can be outside of school!
4.) Experiment:
We took all of the items out of the packaging to ensure that we had everything and set them out on the table. The following items are included:
3 large plastic cups
1 small plastic cup
2 pieces of string
2 wooden stirrers
1 plastic bag
1 bag of crystalizer mix
We had all of our items in front of us and I told my son to feel free to grab the directions and follow along as I watched. He was hesitant at first, worrying about creating a mess or not getting the experiment right. The instructions are very easy to follow and any mess can be easily cleaned. How do I know this? Well, we did indeed have a mishap and spilled some of the crystalizer mix on the table and wood floors in our house. Easy clean up! I was also impressed by how simple each step was and my son had no trouble at all following along.
1. He poured 2 1/2 cups of the crystalizer mix into one of the larger cups first. (This is where the spilling accident occurred).
2. He then filled the small cup with hot water twice, pouring both into the larger cup with the crystalizer mix. (The directions note that the temperature of the water from the tap should be at least 108 degrees Fahrenheit. Ours is a bit hotter, so I provided my son with the water in a measuring cup so it could cool a bit before he used it. Don't fret! The temperature of most people's tap water is indeed 108 degrees Fahrenheit. )
3. He stirred the water and crystalizer mix with one of the wooden stirrers for two minutes until much of the crystalizer mix was dissolved. (Timing is very important for this experiment so we had a timer handy.)
4. We then let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
5. Once the 5 minutes was up, he stirred for another two minutes with the wooden stirrer. (Don't be concerned if there's still a lot of the un-dissolved crystalizer mix left in the cup. As long as you used the correct temperature water and stirred for the noted time, you're fine!)
6. He got one more of the large sized cups and poured the mix that he made into it, leaving all the un-dissolved crystalizer mix behind. (At this point we worried about making sure that none of the un-dissolved mix got into the new cup. However, the directions noted not to be concerned if a small amount snuck into the new cup.)
7. It was finally time to put this new cup in our refrigerator. We found a good place on the bottom shelf where it would not be disturbed.
Note: There are two other experiments that you can do with this kit. We tried a second, which has the same directions as above except that the final cup mixture was left in a windowsill where it would receive a lot of sunlight instead of putting it into the refrigerator. The third experiment we have not yet done. It involves placing one of the formed crystals into a fresh batch of the water/crystalizer mix. This is done by attaching it to the string and dangling it from one of the wooden stirrers into the mix and letting it sit.
What we did next:
1. We removed the cup from the refrigerator after 5 days. (The instructions say to remove it after 24 hours or more. We did not see significant results after 24 hours and my son decided he wanted it to sit longer.)
2. He then used his fingers to gently hold the crystals in place as he poured the liquid out. (He poured it into the drain, which is safe as per the directions.)
3. He also removed the cup from the windowsill, repeating the same careful draining process.
Note: The crystals are VERY fragile so be careful! After they dry out, we placed them in the plastic bag that was provided for safekeeping and travel to show his friends!
5.) Results:
My son and I were both pleasantly surprised by how easy these experiments were, and look forward to trying the third! The experiment took only about 15 minutes to do (not including the time in the refrigerator and windowsill of course!) and we enjoyed the control we had over how big to grow the crystals. We found that the crystals in the window formed faster; however, the ones in the refrigerator were larger. The kit also includes a great FAQ section, which has information about the crystalizer mix as well as how the crystals are formed. This experiment is a great way for your child to feel independent and learn in a fun way! I hope to check out the other kits with him soon and watch my little scientist go to work!
What Staccato thought:
"I felt this experiment was very fun! I liked all of the steps it took to make the crystals. It was also fun to do the experiment with my Mom because we never did an experiment like this together before. It was interesting to see how the water helped to turn the mix into crystals and to watch them grow every day. I would not mind doing an experiment like this again."


text: When one understands that we are 30th in the league with a 3.6 per carry rushing average...it's not that difficult to see that the Boys must turn to a short passing game to compensate for the lack of a running game. It's been a lot worse in the absence of Murray. Since he went down the run game has produced 2.97 per play. So those who criticize the passes to Witten simply don't get it. When Romo and Jason work together the completion rate is near 70%, the turnovers and negative plays are almost nonexistent...and the chains move down the field. The combo would be viewed as a devastating duo...if you simply viewed it as a running game. Which, when you think about it...it almost is. We do need a vertical threat. But with our pathetic o-line and with Mile's hammies...that's not going to happen this season. Upon setting up in the pocket, Romo has been getting about .005 seconds before the pocket collapses. His ability to work with Jason to turn such situations into positive yardage was uncanny Sunday and was the #1 key of the game to turn that from debacle into victory. The best thing about this team's offense is Romo and Witten. Yet somehow around here that combo gets the most criticism. The complete lunacy in attacking this in some back water corners of Cowboy nation... is beyond comprehension.

Were the police called to Amanda Bynes' house?
Amanda Bynes has been making headlines left and right lately, with her outrageous photos and videos she's been sharing socially. But has it gone too far? Others in the industry are now beginning to voice their concerns. Publicist Jonathan Jaxson tweeted the New York Police to find her and help her, saying she was "soooo messed up on drugs."
I just spoke to @amandabynes and she is soooo messed up on drugs and please @ny_police find her and help her! I don't know her address! @tmz— Jonathan Jaxson (@jonathanjaxson) May 2, 2013
The next day he tweeted:
Hoping today is a better day. I NEVER did what I did last night for attention. I did it in hopes of saving a life. I didn't have her addy at— Jonathan Jaxson (@jonathanjaxson) May 2, 2013
first and then got it and called the NYPD again in NYC, who said I had to have a proper address. Amanda has been changing her number weekly.— Jonathan Jaxson (@jonathanjaxson) May 2, 2013
In addition to hotel hoping and gym hoping. Amanda needed help and I did everything I could and knew to do to help!— Jonathan Jaxson (@jonathanjaxson) May 2, 2013
Even ex co-star Jenny McCarthy spoke up, tweeting, "Police are at @AmandaBynes house. I hope they get her help. Enough of this circus. She needs help"
Amanda didn't take that very well and responded to Jenny saying, "@jennymccarthy I need help? What are u talking about? Aren't u 50 years old? I'm 27, u look 80 compared to me! Why are you talking about me?" The tweet was later deleted and instead McCarthy said:
It came from a publicist but if no one can back it up it could be wrong. So start digging.— Jenny McCarthy (@JennyMcCarthy) May 2, 2013
Which led to:
@jennymccarthy thanks! I'm sorry I offended you! You're beautiful! I was lying! I'll delete our tweets!— Amanda Bynes (@AmandaBynes) May 2, 2013
Amanda recently tweeted topless photos of herself, and also showed off a new hair 'do.

Product 5/10
Visual Solar Filter with Solar Finder, (Fits 245mm to 275mm tube) (9.25 inch filter aperture)
NEW! Solar Filters with built in sun finder!
Our new design has a built in sun finder making centering the sun in your eyepiece very easy. The finder target is visible from both the front and back sides of the filter making centering the sun easy from either end of the telescope.
As well, we have replaced the filter rims with three tabs that contain a secure threaded insert and a nylon thumb screw, making the filter much lighter without reducing the security of the fit. The main reason we made this particular change is that many telescopes have dovetails or other attachments that interfere with the proper fitting of a solar filter to the telescope. Now the filter can be placed onto the scope so that the three thumb screws always firmly attach to the body of the scope. As well, the tabs extend down far enough to allow the thumbscrews to connect beyond the bevels found on some dewcaps or the corrector plate rings and tube rings of some telescopes, ensuring a very secure connection to the telescope.
The filter material itself is the famous BAADER AstroSolar Film. This film has set a new standard for white light filters and gives a very pleasing and high resolution image. The image color is a bluish white. The filters are available in photographic film also.
Constructed of 16 guage aluminum for rigidity. The cells have a brushed finish.
To ensure proper fit of the solar filter you must measure the outside diameter of the front opening of the telescope, binoculars or lens. To convert measurements in inches to metric, multiply your measurement that is in inches by 25.4. For example, a dewcap that is 6.25" outside diameter will be 159 mm (6.25 x 25.4 = 158.75mm)

GSA's New Legal Resource FEDLAW Available On Internet
December 31, 1996
Contact: Bill Bearden
Internet: email@example.com
General Services Administration (GSA) today announced that its newest aid for Government employees and citizens, a legal and regulatory research resource on the Internet called FEDLAW, is open for business. This latest Internet tool became a reality through the combined efforts of Carole Dortch, Regional Administrator, Southeast Sunbelt Region; Bob Woods, Commissioner, Federal Telecommunications Service; and Emily C. Hewitt, GSA's General Counsel,
Designed to aid Federal lawyers and other Federal employees doing legal or regulatory research, this new site has over 1,400 hypertext connections to other legal and regulatory data. This comprehensive site connects directly to a wide variety of sources throughout the United States such as the House of Representatives Internet Law Library and the Cornell University Legal Information Institute
"This far-sighted project started as a partnership among the legal offices of various agencies in our regional building. It is a prime example of agencies working together to improve resources for all of us," said Dortch. The materials in FEDLAW include Federal laws, rules, and regulations; Federal judicial decisions; some state laws; sources relating to arbitration and mediation; general research and reference sources; professional associations, and legal-related how-to locations.
The Internet URL address is http://www.legal.gsa.gov.
"If we are to realize the productivity improvements from technology projected for the professional and managerial employees, we must learn to develop practical applications for the Internet," said Woods.
"While this resource was developed by and for GSA, we are happy to share FEDLAW with the Federal legal community," said Hewitt.
This new resource was developed in the Southeast Sunbelt Region by Janice Mendenhall, Assistant Regional Administrator, Federal Telecommunications Service, in response to a request for help from the legal staffs of various agencies in the Peachtree Summit Federal Building in Atlanta, GA.

'UNACCEPTABLE' was how Wanderers chief Gareth Ainsworth branded his side's second half performance as Blues' season took another backward step.
A win at Newport County on Saturday could have gone a long way to helping secure Wanderers' place in the Football League for another season.
Instead former Blue Chris Zebroski was among the scorers as Wycombe were beaten 2-0 - and with Northampton picking up a crucial victory, only goal difference is now keeping Ainsworth's men out of the relegation zone.
It's not quite winner takes all yet, but Wanderers know there's no margin for error with the Cobblers arriving at Adams Park on Good Friday.
And equally Ainsworth knows his side need to improve from the weekend's defeat at Rodney Parade, in a match he described as terrible.
The Blues boss said: "Today was unacceptable in the second half.
"I didn't like the nerves I saw out there today, and the second half performance was just unrecognisable from Dagenham.
"I felt we were outfought, out-thought and outplayed."
And Ainsworth said some of his players are fighting for their careers - whether that's at Adams Park next season or elsewhere.
He said: "There's a lot of work to do this week and we've got a massive game this week, not just for Wycombe but for their careers as well.
"The players have got to stand up and be counted because this club has to stay in the Football League, there's no two ways about it.
"All my career I've been a fighter and I've stood up to the challenge but I don't think we did that today."

Indeed, police felt they had given Hunter plenty of ammunition to charge the Ramsey couple.
Ramsey has rented a room in the house for a year, paying $75 a week.
Then, Ramsey sent the group an email, later provided to The Daily Beast.
Ramsey investigators said the marks could have been made by a jolt from a certain kind of stun gun.
"We have a lot of people here, like most departments, who are ex-military," Ramsey says.
The speaker tittered as Ramsey inquiringly extended her arms out forward and crossed her wrists.
Robbie left her at the church door, and he's off by the Ramsey packet for England.
Ramsey was laconic in response to inquiries upon this subject.
She had little errands there that could not be done in Ramsey.
Stewart and Ramsey formed their regiments under cover of the wood, and with Oswald, kept the enemy at bay.

Revision as of 18:38, 25 February 2007
We need to start a GOOD (aka, not a PLEAC clone) Haskell cookbook.
This page is based on the Scheme Cookbook at http://schemecookbook.org/Cookbook/WebHome
1 Prelude
A lot of functions are defined in the "Prelude". Also, if you ever want to search for a function, based on the name, type or module, take a look at the excellent Hoogle. This is for a lot of people a must-have while debugging and writing Haskell programs.
2 GHCi/Hugs
2.1 GHCi interaction
To start GHCi from a command prompt, simply type `ghci'
$ ghci ___ ___ _ / _ \ /\ /\/ __(_) / /_\// /_/ / / | | GHC Interactive, version 6.6, for Haskell 98. / /_\\/ __ / /___| | http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ \____/\/ /_/\____/|_| Type :? for help. Loading package base ... linking ... done. Prelude>
Prelude is the "base" library of Haskell.
To create variables at the GHCi prompt, use `let'
Prelude> let x = 5 Prelude> x 5 Prelude> let y = 3 Prelude> y 3 Prelude> x + y 8
3 Types
To check the type of an expression or function, use the command `:t'
Prelude> :t x x :: Integer Prelude> :t y y :: Integer
Haskell has the following types defined in the Standard Prelude.
Int -- bounded, word-sized integers Integer -- unbounded integers Double -- floating point values Char -- characters String -- strings () -- the unit type Bool -- booleans [a] -- lists (a,b) -- tuples / product types Either a b -- sum types Maybe a -- optional values
4 Strings
4.1 Input
Strings can be read as input using getLine.
Prelude> getLine Foo bar baz "Foo bar baz"
4.2 Output
Strings can be output in a number of different ways.
Prelude> putStr "Foo" FooPrelude>
As you can see, putStr does not include the newline character `\n'. We can either use putStr like this:
Prelude> putStr "Foo\n" Foo
Or use putStrLn, which is already in the Standard Prelude
Prelude> putStrLn "Foo" Foo
We can also use print to print a string, including the quotation marks.
Prelude> print "Foo" "Foo"
4.3 Concatenation
Concatenation of strings is done with the `++' operator.
Prelude> "foo" ++ "bar" "foobar"
5 NumbersNumbers in Haskell can be of the type
5.1 Random numbers
6 Dates and time
Use System.Time.getClockTime to get a properly formatted date stamp.
Prelude> System.Time.getClockTime Wed Feb 21 20:05:35 CST 2007
7 ListsIn Haskell, lists are what Arrays are in most other languages. Haskell has all of the general list manipulation functions, see also
Prelude> head [1,2,3] 1 Prelude> tail [1,2,3] [2,3] Prelude> length [1,2,3] 3
Furthermore, Haskell supports some neat concepts.
7.1 Infinite lists
Prelude> [1..]
The list of all squares:
square x = x*x squares = map square [1..]
Prelude> take 10 squares [1,4,9,16,25,36,49,64,81,100]
7.2 List Comprehensions
The list of all squares can also be written in a more comprehensive way, using list comprehensions:
squares = [x*x | x <- [1..]]
8 Pattern matching
Haskell does implicit pattern matching.
A good example of pattern matching is done in the fact function for finding a factorial.
fact :: Integer -> Integer fact 0 = 1 fact n = n * fact (n - 1)
The 3rd and final line of this function is another pattern match, which says that, whatever number was entered as the argument, is multiplied by the factorial of that number, minus 1. Notice this function is recursive.Pattern matching in Haskell evaluates the patterns in the order they are written, so
9 Arrays
10 Files
10.1 Simple IOUsing
A program to sum up numbers:
main = interact $ show . sum . map read . lines
A program that adds line numbers to each line:
main = interact numberLines numberLines = unlines . zipWith combine [1..] . lines where combine lineNumber text = concat [show lineNumber, " ", text]
10.2 Reading from files
The System.IO library contains the functions needed for file IO. The program below displays the contents of the file c:\test.txt.
import System.IO main = do h <- openFile "c:\\test.txt" ReadMode contents <- hGetContents h putStrLn contents hClose h
The same program, with some higher-lever functions:
main = do contents <- readFile "c:\\test.txt" putStrLn contents
10.3 Writing to files
The following program writes the first 100 squares to a file:
-- generate a list of squares with length 'num' in string-format. numbers num = unlines $ take num $ map (show . \x -> x*x) [1..] main = do writeFile "test.txt" (numbers 100) putStrLn "successfully written"

Couples Counselor
Kevin Drab, M.A., M.Ed.
Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified EMDR Therapist, Certified Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor
418 Stump Road, Suite 208, Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania
There is a common expectation that couples' counseling must focus on improving communication. I have found that problematic patterns of communication can certainly play a role in some dysfunctional relationships and can be corrected at a later point in counseling. Couples' therapy needs to begin by addressing the core factor that sabotages all other attempts to heal the relationship - the lack of respect! Not love, not honesty, not compromise; but to truly experience the other as an independent human being whose world-view and needs are taken into consideration in all one's decisions and actions. Respect, in its deepest and varied expressions, is the key to creating a successful relationship
Couples Counselor
Eugene Kayser, M.A., M.F.T.
PA Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
418 Stump Rd., Suite 204, Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania
Couples counseling is my specialty, and what I most enjoy doing. I am Pro-Marriage, and work hard to help couples who want to stay together learn how to do so. I have completed Level 2 of training in Gottman Couples Therapy which utilizes a well-researched system of technique that can help couples move on from affairs, lack of intimacy and stale parallel marriages. The sessions are very interactive with the focus on processing present struggles, and re-examining past stumbling blocks to explore alternative ways to behave with each other. Couples are always seen together so that there is no story-telling and the focus is on the couple in a fair and balanced way.
Couples Counselor
Ellen Schrier, MS, LPC, NCC
Licensed Professional Counselor
208 N. Easton Road, Willow Grove, Pennsylvania
Do you find yourself wanting more for your current relationship? Are you desiring more closeness, intimacy and emotional connection with your partner? In the course of a relationship you may find that you are experiencing more frequent arguing and less frequent positive communication, but not sure why. I help couples gain insight into patterns and cycles that are keeping them stuck and unhappy. I have received training and use Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy in my therapy work with couples. These therapies are very effective in helping couples repair, renew and restore their relationships to previous levels of love, caring and closeness.
Couples Counselor
Philip Friedman, Ph.D
Director: Foundation for Well-Being; Psychologist
46 Red Rowen Lane, Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania
I create a safe, warm, caring atmosphere so that you and your spouse or partner can share your stressful conflicts that cause hurt, anger, depression, bitterness, sadness, helplessness, discouragement, withdrawal, attack and hopelessness. Either or both of you may also be experiencing guilt, shame, loss, grief and serious family, parent-child or career/job) problems. I can help you shift from this state of emotional and mental distress/darkness to the experience of emotional and mental light and can help you learn to communicate more effectively and harmoniously. I can help you learn how to be more appropriately assertive; listen more from the heart and resolve problems in a win-win mutua

Relationship counseling is the process of counseling the parties of a relationship in an effort to recognize and to better manage or reconcile troublesome differences and repeating patterns of distress. The relationship involved may be between members of a family or a couple (see also family therapy), employees or employers in a workplace, or between a professional and a client. Somehow the simple act of walking while talking out life's issues creates an environment of possibility and change - of forward movement. Through the rhythm of walking and talking there is a sync between myself and my clients. At a moderate pace, healing and breakthroughs occur.
Couples Counselor
Deb Owens, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
8612 Germantown Ave. Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
It's just not possible to have a committed relationship without going through tough times. Tough times will occur in any marriage. There's no need to get stuck there. Having my own long term marriage in addiction to my credentials and training and experience as a marriage counselor allows me to really "get it." You may be having or launching kids or find yourself struggling with how relationships work, or don't work. Couples counseling can help you reconnect and resolve communication challenges and conflict. Yes commitment is work but when you feel your relationship get back on track it can be so worth the time and energy.
Couples Counselor
Kevin Fleming Ph.D.
Coach/Change Agent/Consultant
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don't agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings? Contact email@example.com to learn how! Or call 877-606-6161. DR. FLEMING'S NEW RELATIONSHIP/COUPLES INTENSIVES. www.kevinflemingphd.com/marriage-couples-retreats.php
Couples Counselor
Eugene Devers, D.Min, ACSW, AAMFT, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker & Marriage &Family Therapist
Grant Ave & Krewstown Road, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
I value and have a passion for all relationships to thrive. I successfully work with couples to enhance the quality of their relationship, and together discover better solutions to whatever is creating their dilemma or source of dissatisfaction. Being a couple is a tender, tentative, and promising bond. Yet it does not customarily benefit from the uniting, binding, and blending societal glue of law, traditions, religion, economics, or even language. Nevertheless, your relationship is meaningful, valuable, supportive, loving, and needing to flourish with fresh growth and deeper roots. Visit me at PhillyFamilyLifeCounseling.com; allow me to join with you to help create new possibilities.
Couples Counselor
Lee Bowers, Ph.D.
Licensed Psychologist
210 Tower Road, Villanova, Pennsylvania
I always prefer to see couples BEFORE they get married, because so many problems can be avoided by getting started out on the right foot. By learning good communication and problem solving skills before marriage, you can move on to that next step with confidence and skill. I also work with couples for whom marriage is not the goal, who are gay or lesbian, or couples who simply have reached an impasse on an issue and are looking for an objective third party.
Couples Counselor
Jeffrey Kauffman, M.A., M.S.S., L.C.S.W., B.C.D., F.T
licensed clinical social worker/ psychotherapist
303 West Lancaster Avenue, Wayne, Pennsylvania
Couples seek therapy for many reasons. The starting place is to clarify what the cause is for marital distress. Often improving communications is needed. Improving communication is almost always about learning to listen to each other. Improved communication often helps with a lot of difficulties in a relationship. Sometimes there are differences or disappointments that need to be worked through. There may be multiple issues to be triaged. Sometimes there are betrayals which have damaged the relationship. Reckoning with the injuries inflicted, especially the lost of trust is difficult and painful, but, if the relationship is to survive and the bond to be fulfilling this must be dealt with.
Couples Counselor
Cheryl Sparks, PhD, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
200 Eagle Road, Suite 210, Wayne, Pennsylvania
Every couple's relationship has areas where growth is needed. If you are wondering whether your relationship can last, it may be helpful to identify the specific areas of concern and get some practical help working through the difficulties. I offer a well-researched assessment tool for those who need a clearer idea of where to start, and helpful tools to improve those areas like arguing vs good communication, disappointment with the level of emotional intimacy, or quality of your sex life. You may need help resolving repeated disagreements around finances, in-laws or parenting. Rebuilding a sense of trust and safety in the relationship will encourage you to risk new levels of closeness.
Couples Counselor
Vivian Good, LPC, MA, MS, ACS
Licensed Professional Counselor
200 Eagle Road, Suite 210, Wayne, Pennsylvania
As a couples counselor I am on the side of the relationship. While I may spend some time focusing on one partner or the other in order to understand relational dynamics, my primary goal is to help the relationship. Each relationship is unique. Some issues that affect couples include trust building, healthy boundaries, open communication, individual and relational growth, transitional life stages, financial issues, decision making. We will identify the strengths and weakness of your specific relationship, explore what makes a successful relationship and suggest ways to improve your relationship.
Couples Counselor
Lisa Silk, MSW, LCSW
Addiction Therapist, Family Therapist
119 Coulter Avenue Suite 211, Ardmore, Pennsylvania
Coupleship is a unique dynamic. Often we fall head over heels for someone.. everything seems meant to be and then after awhile you look over at this person and think...huh? This is way more common than people think. Making a partnership work is not easy as we were promised in fairy tales, but it can be the most amazing and deepest intimacy we have ever known if we are honest, healthy and truly committed. I help couples find this true intimacy again through couples counseling. My approach is practical, respectful, and solution oriented. If you have found this, you still have hope for the relationship. This is so important, let me help you take the next step to love deeply.

They have two of the best players in the world on their team, but we could have played even better. We didn't play our best, but we were in the game with them. I had a chance in the end to tie it up, and I just missed it. It's frustrating."'

Attention Sausalto Property Owners, Residents and Business Owners
City of Sausalito Housing Element Work is Beginning
The City is working on implementing and updating the Housing Element. The work involves two tracks. The first track involves adopting a variety of Zoning Ordinance Amendments which were committed to in the existing Housing Element adopted in 2012. In order to be eligible for certification from the State for the upcoming 2015-2023 Housing Element cycle, the City must complete these Ordinance amendments. If these amendments are not implemented by the end of 2014, our eight year cycle reverts to a four year cycle and our next Housing Element will be due in 2018, instead of 2023. The second track is a minor update to the adopted Housing Element and gaining certification by the State by January 31, 2015. The second track is reliant on the zoning amendments being adopted. It is anticipated that the City will be making only minor updates to the Housing Element by using the goals and policies of the existing Housing Element in the upcoming update. The amendments required in the first track are summarized:
SAVE THIS DATE and come to the meeting to hear more. You can also check out the Housing Update website for background information and meeting information. You can also contact Lilly Schinsing, Project Manager, at 415.289.4134.

Good 'Chip' Cutte'
By SeanO
I use this product to cut potatoes into 'chips' for French fries. There are two cutting gratings. The product under discussion is a replacement due to the failure of the larger of the two gratings. Neither of the gratings gives what I regard as the 'perfect size chip', but I must admit that I reach for the cutter each time I intend preparing 'fish and chips'. I don't use this product for any other preparation.

AC/DC logs first UK top ten hit
Listen to AC/DC on iHeartRadio
AC/DC is marking a career first. The band has finally cracked the top ten on the British singles chart. "Highway To Hell" is landing at number four on the latest UK tally.
According to the Britain's "Official Charts Company," the song's rise stems from a social media campaign that was launched in an effort to keep the latest "X Factor" winner from taking the coveted number one spot on the Christmas week chart.
While the effort fell short of the goal - "X Factor" winner Sam Bailey's "Skyscraper" leads the list - it gave AC/DC their first UK top ten hit.
"Highway To Hell" originally peaked at number 56 on the chart back in 1979. AC/DC's highest charting UK hit until now was "Heatseeker," which topped out at number 12 in 1988.

China plans curbs on online piracy
Page Tools
China will soon enact new regulations aimed at curbing online piracy of copyrighted material that will hold websites responsible for stolen material, state media reported today.
The "Administrative Measures on Internet Copyright Protection" are due by the end of April, the official Xinhua News Agency said, quoting Yan Xiaohong, deputy director of the National Copyright Administration.
The measures are among several new initiatives announced as China comes under renewed pressure from the US and other trading partners to curb rampant theft of copyright, trademarks and other intellectual property.
Internet service providers whose portals are used to spread pirated information will not be held accountable, Yan said.
"The websites providing pirated information should bear major responsibility, and the ISPs who are passively spreading the information will be exempted from punishment," Yan was quoted as telling a conference in Beijing on Tuesday.
While promising better enforcement of its anti-piracy laws, China was also cracking down on unauthorised websites, the report said.
China had more than 600,000 websites by the end of 2004, but only 8000 were legally registered, it said, citing statistics from Ministry of Information Industry.
Details of how the new regulations would be enforced were not given.
