That mean's I got the apartment!
[And also, farewell to the blog for a short while.]
After living for three months in utter uncertainty, my life seems to finally be coming together. I've landed both a job (a couple weeks ago) and an apartment (last night) in Manhattan and I move out of my current place in...2 days. Next time I am going to see how much closer I can cut it. FUN game!
Ok, so about my new place. It's a 3 bedroom with two other girls about my age on West 57th Street between 9th and 10th Avenue. Two blocks from Central Park, two blocks from Columbus Circle and the Time Warner Center (where there's a Whole Foods, many shops, and basically every subway I need to get where I'm going).
This place was the last apartment I looked at after a long day of scurrying all over town on Monday looking at hell holes. Monday I had woken up at 5am to catch the 6am Chinatown bus because I had a noon meeting at my new office. I met with my new boss and the managing partner of my new firm to discuss upcoming projects and what I should expect. Things went great. I think I will fit in well and will have a lot of opportunities in my new position.
The rest of the day I had decided to dedicate to apartment hunting once again. However, based on my last go-round, I decided to focus more on roommate situations. Most places were being shown in the early evening hours, so I had some time to kill between my meeting and 5pm. I ended up having lunch at Il Cantinori in the Village and then going uptown to meet Sarah for afternoon coffee.
Every place I looked that evening at had some sort of terrible living situation, be it a bad roommate or a horrible living area. My favorite was this place I went to in the East Village. It was really the only apartment downtown I looked at, and my appointment was in between showings uptown, so I took a cab in order to make it on time. The place was the top floor of a 7-floor walkup, and there were about 15 other people in the apartment looking at it at the same time. The room was decent but had no closet (which is KIND OF a deal breaker for me if you've ever seen the amount of clothes I own), but I was nearing the end of my rope, so I actually considered it. Until I saw who I'd be rooming with. Apparently it was with a raver from 1998. Or maybe the head of wardrobe for Da Ali G Show. I overheard him interviewing one of the other potential roommate applicants: "Do you have any diseases? If so, what kind? How many times per week do you have sex? How many times per week do you anticipate bringing someone back to the apartment to have sex?"
[Exit apartment].
The apartment that ended up webbing me was the last one I looked at. I was tired, stressed, and frustrated as I rolled up to the door. But as soon as I met the girl showing the place, we immediately hit it off and the apartment, while small, was very cozy, charming, clean and livable. Then I took a look at my would-be room, which has a loft area for either storage or a bed (I am planning on putting my bed up there so that I can use the main space for my favorite red comfy chair and a little entertainment area). Then I turned around and closed the main door to see [angels singing from the heavens and a halo glow emerging] a huge (by NY standards) closet. I let out an audible gasp and said "I just looked at a studio the size of this closet and they wanted $20 more rent per month."
Then we chatted in the living room a bit. I was told that on top of rent, that cable including HBO was a non-negotiable. We then proceeded to discuss every HBO original series that aired the night before- Big Love, Entourage and Flight of the Conchords. Then she talked about how it's rare that the three roommates are all home at once and how everyone basically keeps separate lives and values their privacy, but if everyone's at home they'll sit around and have a bottle of wine and watch Sex and the City, to which I replied, "I like red wine. Sign me up."
After I told Charlotte about this discussion she typed (in what I will assume was 'sarcasm font'): "Wow. I hope you fit in."
By the way, if you enjoyed reading about my previous adventures in apartment hunting, you'll like the expanded essay I wrote for Farmhouse Magazine, which should be hitting the internet September 1 at www.farmhousemagazine.com.
The blog is going on the back burner for the time being, since, in two days, I am out of DC, later next week I am off to Hawaii and immediately thereafter moving to my new place in NY. But I'm sure I'll have plenty of stories to tell once I'm settled. Stay tuned...

A lot of really cool visual effects going on. The environment was composed of pretty basic elements, yet every frame was still super pleasing to look at. Nice job!

Pretty fun gameplay loop! I like games like this that teach my brain how to do something, and where any other medium wouldn't be able to teach it so eloquently.

You are very good at creating an atmosphere that's creepy without being overtly scary. I was super hesitant with every click I made, even though most things acted normally, or at the very least didn't jump out at me.

Technological illiteracy and generational bias in the legal industry is causing law firms to implement faulty strategies regarding technical training and education of their attorneys and staff. Co-authors Ivy B. Grey and Darth Vaughn discuss the myth of the digital native and tech bias and applicable ethical rules:
Using the example of MS Word, the authors explore how the presumption of tech talent can lead to inefficient and poor work product, lower realization rates, lost profits, and creates a multi-layered cluster of incompetence and potential ethical violations in law firms. In the article, the authors urge firms to move to competency-based assessment and training so that all lawyers have the opportunity to develop appropriate tech competence.
This article was prepared for The Future Is Now: Legal Services 2.017, a TED-like conference for lawyers, hosted by the Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Professionalism on May 18, 2017, where Vaughn presented.

Open carry in Texas?
December 11th, 2008
To protect the First Amendment, we need a strong second. Without the second, who will defend the first?Guns are not for hunting.
Handguns were not created to kill animals.Arms are the last resort that We The People have to keep our government in line, whether that be the federal, state or local (and increasingly, the international.)
So let the record show The Ellis County Press comes out in full support of open carry legislation, the requirements that responsible individuals can openly carry their arms.
Some might say "assault weapons" and "machine guns" should be banned, but that's the wrong type of thinking. Our guns are as important as our money and the fruits of our labor.
The odds of moderate Republicans down in Austin passing this legislation are very nill, but public opinion has a way to persuade.
Of course, expect the crying howls from editorial boards across this vast 254-county state when and if the OpenCarry.com petition gains a foothold in next month's legislative session.
The Second Amendment protects all of the rest. It is not for a militia and it is not for the National Guard.It is for individuals. And guns are not for hunting. They are to keep our government honest and accountable.
Mike wrote:This.They are to keep our government honest and accountable.
Perhaps'The People'across the US should rise up, show up on the doorsteps to their respective states' capitol buildings and demand redress from their governments.
It would be a sight to see.
The main problem with our governments in the US is we allow lawyers to write the laws they will use in court.
Most excellent. I live on the border of Ellis County. Good to know people are standing up.
Found an interesting, if lengthy, read today. Lots of statistics. Since I can not make a new thread on this forum I'll post it here. Perhaps someone moddish can move it to a better spot? If it has been posted before, sorry for the repost.
Check this out!
Score! haha.
AWESOME!!! Flawless victory!

The CD, titled Weer samen naar School (Back to School Together) with accompanying karaoke version and workbook, has been distributed to the country's 10,000 primary schools at a cost of around Pounds 20,000 in a bid to stem the recent surge in the numbers of pupils with special needs being referred to special schools.
The lyrics of one of the eight songs, about "Bas . . . the fattest, stupidest kid in the class", continue "But we don't want to lose our big silly Bas". One of the less politically-correct numbers sings the praises of the education ministry: "The boss of schools works extra hard to make sure that there is a place for all of us."

Dear Sonivox,
I seem to be unable to get your attention, both via the e-mail form on your homepage and via direct mail to Peter Drawbridge, so therefore I now write a public letter, hoping you will read this and react on it.
Last week I bought your $3,000 Symphonic Collection, but one of the brass DVDs has errors on it, it is the one with the trumpets on it.
Would you be so kind as to send me a replacement DVD, please?
Also I cannot register on your homepage, it says the number I use is wrong.
However the number I use was supplied with the installation instruction paper that came with Symphonic Collection.
Will you look into this as well?
Thank you so much for your attention!
Best regards,
Henrik Jensen

I've just tried one of my groups I'm a member of and I'm getting the same as you, even trying to look at my own profile its telling me I don't exist, but I know I do because I've just pinched myself and it hurt!
I think its a problem with Yahoo, it does happen sometimes. Occasionally I can even get into the groups because their server is on the blink. Try again tomorrow.

Hi guys
My iAqualink that was working for 3 months by now stopped working last week. Green LED just won't stay on.
Out of nowhere...
Wired setup, static IP. Can ping the controller. Ethernet plug works just fine 'cause i hooked up my laptop to verify the connection.
AllButton controller reads "Aqualink WiFi" panel on ID=3 in "Diagnostics". Aquapure works just fine.
Actually, EVERYTHING works fine except iAqualink.
I checked wires...8.6V between red and green (1-4 on red connector)...i guess additional assertion is that AllButton panel sees iAqualink panel just fine.
When i unplug ethernet jack - pings stop...plug it back in - resume. But just red and yellow LED's; green goes "on" once and then does not come back.
Of course i reset my RS8 a couple of times...no dice.
I would blame my FIOS router for not allowing outgoing connections...but this is nonsense since there's no MAC filtering enabled and my laptop goes online just fine when plugged into this jack.
Lastly, i tried wireless connection...grabs IP just fine and i can ping it from my home network. But no green light.
What the heck happened?
I don't want to shell out $300 for iAqualink 2.0 (which is a subsequent upgrade from iAqualink 1.0 that i have)
Any help...

Stress the positives
Stress is big news. In 2001, 6,428 companies were forced to pay out on stress-related damages claims. More than 6.5 million working days are lost each year through stress. The Confederation of British Industry puts the cost of stress to the UK economy at £4bn a year.

This image is a fence and shadow in my neighborhood.
This final image is from Sacred Ground: America's Military Cemeteries. It's one of my shots that did not make it into the book.
Great shots...love the last one. They were are all very creative!! :)
Very beautiful...each of them...but I really like the picket fence with the one broken piece...nice!
Sooo many neat shots!
Very nice! I like the telephone pole shadows best.
All are great, but the last one seemed to draw me in. It makes me wonder about all the lives that were forever changed... Sorry to ramble on so...
Loved them all ,nice touch on the dancers, very imaginative. You guys are good.
The graveyard is my favorite but they're all great.
Graveyard and fence - my two favorites.
I just started gathering shots of colors and stuff to use on an upcoming post. It should be fun.
Love the color of the Irish dancers dresses! The graveyard pic is very powerful.
Great collection of lines!
Very imaginative.
Andrea - Thanks!
gtyyup - I thought that the broken board did add interest, and actually lined it up that way (no pun intended).
Lacey Jo - Thanks!
Patches - Thanks!
Sara - I found the experience of shooting there to be very powerful and sad at the same time.
Janice - Thanks!
prairierunner - Thanks!
Patty - Thanks and looking forward to another of your posts!
The Wife - Thanks!
Violet - Thanks!

The last one speaks volumes.

Like your shots. I am partial to the cemetery shots. Have a few of those myself from Germany, England and Luxembourg, not to mention Arlington.
Thanks Regular guy!
I can hear the action in the dancer shot. Cemetery has a great perspective. Who knew there is a pole farm.
Thanks Pete!

But, tonight especially, I think it is terribly hopeless. Especially when I know that while it may not actually be impossible, it has to be impossible. For me, at least. I have to make it impossible.
I'm not making any sense, I know.
It's just that, tonight, I'm feeling a little lonesome.
A little more than usual.
Oh, how I wish i knew what life had in store for me. Because it's a little bit easier to take things one day at a time, when you know that someday something wonderful will happen. Wonderful enough to make all the others worth it.
I know it's coming, eventually. I just wish I knew when...

Not making any sense huh? Yeah right! I hear you loud and clear Laura! I know exactly what you're talking about. You can't hide from me. ; )
Only thing I can say is this, though it's really hard to accept, and even harder to practice, you are always guaranteed this one promise, and that promise is that in the end you will be happy. I can promise you that more than I can promise you ANYTHING ELSE in the entire world. You can find peace knowing that you are promised as a daughter of God, happiness, glory, peace, and joy beyond anything you could possible imagine. That's what's so positively AWESOME about the Gospel! Though the "crap is hitting the fan" you know that one day the clouds will part, the sun will shine, and you will find yourself more happy than you ever have been. It's called a covenant. It's so freaking AWESOME!!!!! Study it. You'll realize that though you feel lonely now, you can know that not far off you will not be lonely in the least. Just gotta do what's right. ;) Love ya Laura! Keep your chin up hun.

Many people experience dental problems such as poorly spaced teeth, TMJ, or misaligned bites that can be corrected with orthodontics. Family First Dentistry in Anchorage, Alaska, is more than a family and general dentistry—they also offer complimentary orthodontic consultations to help patients determine if treatments such as braces are a good solution. If you dislike the idea of traditional metal braces, Family First Dentistry can also recommend alternatives, including Incognito™ Braces, Invisalign®, and AcceleDent® technology.
Incognito Braces perform the same corrections as traditional braces with one major difference: they're hidden behind your teeth, so no one will even notice you're wearing them. Incognito braces are installed by a dentist, who places brackets and wires on the backs of your teeth. Using advanced technology, the braces then move your teeth into the proper positions until the desired results are achieved. Because of their custom design and fit, Incognito Braces are comfortable, and they don't have to be removed the same way as some treatments.
Invisalign, also known as clear braces, are another alternative to consider. These transparent aligners are removable and meant to be worn for certain hours of the day for an extended period of time. As a third option, AcceleDent technology is a hands-free device that speeds up results by as much as 50% over other options. Using an activator and a mouthpiece, the system sends gentle pulses to accelerate bone remodeling.
Not every dentistry practice offers flexible orthodontic treatments, but Family First Dentistry offers Incognito Braces, Invisalign, and AcceleDent technology to resolve crooked teeth, improper bites, and other misalignment problems. During your complimentary orthodontics consultation, one of Family First Dentistry's dentists will examine your mouth, perform tests, and then discuss your options for treatment. Call the Anchorage practice at (907) 562-2820 to schedule an appointment, and learn more about their orthodontic services online.

Venetian Blinds
Venetian blinds work by using a pulling mechanism to adjust the degree of horizontal strips or panels to either let in or block out sunlight.
These types of blinds are often referred to as the equivalent of a light dimmer. The functionality is a great benefit as you can regulate the amount of heat and light in your room by simply tilting the blinds in the opposite direction.
Venetian blinds are perfect for preventing glares on a television or computer screen and can also be used to create a different ambience with sunrises or sunsets. Our team at Kings Window Solutions can give you a range of options for the bedroom, kitchen or even the outdoor patio. If you need to see the view, these blinds can raise entirely leaving your window completely clear.
The design of venetian blinds adds dimension to your room. It can be created in beautiful styles and finishes such as wood and aluminium and they are extremely durable. The style is very contemporary and comes in an array of colours from funky hues to sophisticated tones and beautiful metallic finishes.
We make made-to-measure venetian blinds which can be cut according to the size of your window. Venetian blinds can also be cut to fit special window shapes such as arched or circular.
Our consultants are more than happy to help with any query regarding blinds or curtains. Contact us today by calling (08) 9524 6200 to speak to an expert.

The Guttersnipe fetched the dirty, sodden gown. To herself, she thought, You're nothing so pretty as Gwenhywfar, who is the prettiest person in the world. And she did not mean it cruelly, she reflected as she moved up the bank with Domitia. It was just simply true: no one could match Gwenhywfar for wit and wisdom and beauty.
They walked at a gentler pace. The sun was coming down through the willows sharply by now, and the drovers had long since passed by with the cows toward the pastures. Once again there would be fresh milk, and later on butter and cheese and all good things. Master Lucius owned a few cows himself which supplied him with his own food. He had told her once, "I may take Vortigern's roof-tree over my head, but that is only because I am not well enough to find my own. I can at least bring my own hand to my own mouth out of my own bowl." And she agreed with him.
"We'll go round by the garden," she told Domitia. "He will be in the sun chamber. He takes to the sun chamber most days when it is clear."
They went up the stone path together between the bluebell and worn turf, through the gate, and round the fountain with its mantle of fine gravel paths, poppies, and broom. A thrush darted out of the yellow tangle of flowers and sped away over the wall. Inside she could see the shapes of Master Lucius at his little table and Wulf going through the wax-filled wooden tablets that were the pedigree books. She put her hand on the latch and murmured, "Here we are. Chin up." And she pushed the door open and stepped in.
In an almost protective gesture Wulf shut the tablet as the Guttersnipe let Domitia in. Shrouded in a cloak of bitingly fierce red, Master Lucius glanced up from his work, eyes narrowed to the sunlight. "Here is the new pair of hands," she said, wavering into a little bow. "Domitia."

Pat Pope, if you're going to be in the press all the time about the shining new projects like Arabia Mt., then you need to take the tough questions, like ones about Cross Keys and Lakeside.

Everyone take a seat, you're going to be shocked by my comment. As much as I agree that attention on Cross Keys is well deserved, when I read this article a week or so ago I found it bordering on a hit job.
Just a couple of weeks earlier, Pat Pope, Bob Mosley, and a host of DCSS' team held a public meeting on the subject of the Tech School move and the SPLOST III project at Cross Keys.
I left that meeting with no misunderstanding at all about where things stand with the planned projects.
This report says, "The project originally was budgeted for $16.7 million, but only $11 million seems to be earmarked for construction."
Seems? Where does this number come from? If that isn't speculative reporting, I don't know what is.
My understanding is that the SPLOST III project's fund is still intact, not reduced, and not in any way affected by the Tech move.
I believe that there were other readers of this blog at that meeting so I'm looking for validation here. But my recollection of the facts shared at the APE briefing by DCSS and the Q&A afterward was very different from what this article reports.
The SPLOST III project is going to be implemented as committed. The fact that it is slower in kicking off than we'd all like is not news in my opinion.
I think we have to be fair to the System leadership. Because Pat Pope didn't return a phone call to a the reporter is no reason to mis-represent or invent facts.

I think this kind of discussion only comes about because information coming down from the powers that be is weak, without detail and rare. Pat Pope is doing an excellent job at her JOB - which is to get the buildings built and the renovations completed, on time and within budget. She should not have to spend inordinate amounts of time answering the questions from the mob. She should have a close relationship with a spokesperson - say don't we staff a few PR people with six-figure salaries to handle communication? They are paid almost HALF of what Pat Pope is paid - and yet they expect her to do her job and theirs as well. I don't consider their job to only send well-worded press releases to the AJC - I would consider it their job (the PR/communication) department - to communicate with all stakeholders. Consider this -- the more we demand of Pope's time to handle community meetings and questions - the less time she can devote to managing the projects.
The administration needs to bolster some courage and form their very own blog - where all of these questions could be answered. Further, they could post information as it becomes available. Wouldn't it be nice?

I've got to agree with Kim on this. I attended the meeting held at Ashford Park (rescheduled to this site due to a power outage in the area of CK) and came away with a pretty good understanding of where we are and where we are going with respect to the project.
The project was delayed to the the previous architect 'quitting'. I don't claim to know the reason but this definitely can impact the timeline. There are state guidelines that must be adhered to thus consideration must be given to that.
It is good to see CK getting more attention! Hopefully this will result in greater advocacy for other schools in similar positions.

From what I can tell about funding for CK - is this
$16,927,348 is allocated to CK in the Nov. 2006 CIP
($823,567 is allocated to HSTN - showing that it was not on the radar to merge the schools at the time)
In the Dec. 2008, CIP, this is what is said about Cross Keys
Cross Keys High School: Renovation and Relocation of the Dekalb High School Technology North
Program: Notice of Award has been issued to MEJA Construction for the new addition and associated
site work. Architectural design is ongoing with expected Department of Education drawings to be
submitted by the end of January 2008. Request for Proposal for Material Testing, NPDES
monitoring, and Special Inspections have been reviewed and approved by Dekalb County School
421-106 Cross Keys HS – Renovation & DHSTN CM/GC at Risk CM/GC Kick Off Nov. '08
Of course, we all know now that the architect mysteriously "quit" the project - so the November kick off didn't happen.
Now - look at the number. Jody could be right, in that it would seem that there was originally $17 million slated to renovate Cross Keys - this includes fixing the HVAC - which is a separate line item for other schools. Somehow, that project expanded scope CONSIDERABLY to include merging the HSTN along with all of it's equipment and special programs, requiring different and usually larger space. However - I never see additional revenue added to the original budget. (Conversely, DSA, Open Campus and Jim Cherry were each allocated $10 million just for their "Move") Further, the budget actually was reduced by about $500 to $ 16,477,631 in the Dec 08 CIP.
MUCH bigger scope - reduction in cost...
What's up with that?
- March 11, 2009 at 2:35 PM
- Cerebration said...
I'm left wondering if the Administration didn't make a really dumb deal and now they're trying to sweep it all under Cross Keys' rug hoping no one will notice or complain there.
The school system "traded" the HSTN site next to Perimeter College for a site nearby to build the new Dunwoody Elementary school. (They did this in spite of the fact that they already have a vacant building a mile or two away - the old Shallowford or Chamblee MS - that could have been renovated and used for a new ES. Heck the place already has a SPLOST 1 funded gymnasium -- sitting EMPTY!!)
Then - they realized they had to do "something" with the several hundred students who attend here - most half days, but many full time. Uh oh! Say - here's an idea -- send them and all their equipment over to Cross Keys - they won't complain!

If you ask me - we need to TEAR DOWN CROSS KEYS and spend more like $30 million (at least in the range of Arabia) and build an EXEMPLARY HIgh School of Technology.
A little planning could have made this happen. But this willy, nilly, reactionary way of planning always creates losers. Is it too late? HECK NO.

@Cere: "The administration needs to bolster some courage and form their very own blog - where all of these questions could be answered."
About 18 months ago I contacted the public relations folks and offered my CommunityRadar.com platform as a free and available mechanism to do just that. They had no resources available to do the work of posting but offered to CC me on press releases.
This is a huge problem and goes back to my beef about the "latent constituency" of DCSS. Parents with children in the system complain about the lack of proactive and thorough communications - especially, electronic communications. The rest of us are completely out of the loop.
The obstacles are not technical ones but organizational and political.
You may haven noted that there's a highly anticipated demo of the new Parent "Portal" coming up ... a hopeful prospect but I'm imagining it is mostly designed to allow parents vision into the student records and activity, not the system operations/administration.
I fear that there are many years ahead for those of us who are trying to gather information nuggets about our own system and disseminate them to the community.

@cere: "A little planning could have made this happen. But this willy, nilly, reactionary way of planning always creates losers. Is it too late? HECK NO."
Now you're talking my language! :)
I don't believe it is too late, either, depending on SPLOST III revenue levels continuing to be strong, the "re-allocation" process that's about to begin and whether we have a visionary BOE or not.
I believe the key is the CK stakeholders helping the leadership see the opportunity here.
A couple of years ago I discussed with System Administrators the fact that there were a significant number of families in the Brookhaven area that could be "brought back into the fold" if a concerted effort were under taking in this district.
The impression I was left with was that there is no interest in taking on new students even if this would help revitalize the district. I was surprised by the attitude. It seemed almost as if I was told, "We're not able to handle the kids we have now so why should we be troubled about those kids?"
"Those kids" are from families like mine that are not well-to-do and are teetering between the public vs. private decisions. I loose an average of 1-2 families per year from my neighborhood specifically because of DCSS. These are the kind of families that can make a school truly great. Just this week, a Rotarian put a For Sale sign in their yard. They like many before them are heading to Cobb or Gwinnett or elsewhere.
It is a huge problem and a poor reflection on DCSS more than Cross Keys. For me, Cross Keys represents an enormous opportunity for DCSS. Making Cross Keys "work" for the Brookhaven neighborhoods again would be the best possible symbol of how DCSS wants to operate and achieve in the future. "I have a dream ..."

I can't stop myself ... 12 short years ago, Cross Keys was a Georgia School of Excellence. How about them apples? Talk about stealing defeat from the jaws of victory ...
I think about the 1st graders at Woodward, Montclair, Ashford Park (formerly Cross Keys feeder), Dresden and whoever else was in the pattern then and how their families must have felt as their kids looked ahead to a premier High School experience ... where have all the flowers gone?

From the vouchers thread we 'inadvertently' hijacked, Cere pointed out the following comment I made:
"One could also make an argument for attempting to keep 'like' communities together though."
You also pointed out the noticeable 'dip' in the Cross Keys cluster along Peachtree. Could that have occurred because of the sentiment in the statement above by those that lived in that area?
I'm going to go on a limb with this but 'what if' the Chamblee and Cross Keys clusters consolidated, with I-85 and I-285 as the boundaries along with the county line? With that same thought, what if CK was sold (perhaps the most valuable property in DCSS) with the proceeds going first to a new and larger Chamblee then the remainder going to the central CIP pot?
Just asking.... :)
- March 11, 2009 at 3:56 PM
If DCSS Central Office gets their heads out of their blanks and finally builds a new Lakeside or Cross Keys, they must use the exact same blueprint as the incredible Arabia Mt. High School. Gwinnett uses the same few templates for its schools, with a little variation. They save bigtime when it comes to architect fees. Arabia Mt. is a beautiful school, and should be copied exactly at any new high school site in the county.
- March 11, 2009 at 4:18 PM
- Cerebration said...
good idea, psc - good idea! I like the brainstorming that is happening here.
I would imagine that we would all agree - Cross Keys is a dumpy building and should probably be torn down and replaced. Spending money trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear is usually a waste.
ps - I imagine that the people pleaded to leave the CK district once they realized how decrepit the building was. It's pretty bad when Chamblee looks like a jewel in comparison!

Anon @ 4:18, give Pat Pope and the DCSS staff some credit. I understand they ARE using the blueprint from Arabia Mountain for the new Tucker HS. That community has something to REALLY look forward to.

Alright Cere, you are stroking my ego so I have another thought for the folks out there :). What if a 'Career Technology Institute' was placed @ Avondale? This would generate more discussion given the historical significance with Avondale. If their students were split between Clarkston, Towers, and Columbia, it probably could be done. Looking at the map Kim linked to earlier, Avondale seems to be located in the 'center' of the county.
If not Avondale, perhaps Clarkston could be used instead and use the current central office site for 'heavy tech' programs (unless a suitable bid for that property comes).

I think it is a good idea to make Chamblee a bigger high school and possible even leave Cross Keys as the Vocational School.
By the way, what are the plans for the property by Adams on Druid Hills Road? I do not want to see this property sold.
- March 11, 2009 at 5:22 PM
- Kim Gokce said...
I did some more digging on the $$$ ... The $11m figure tossed out in the article reflects the construction cost set aside for Cross Keys as part of the $16.9m. The difference is in fixtures, furniture, & equipment as well as architectural/professional fees. So the $11 and the $16 are really the same number and no one has made off with the public money.
Let's stay focused on gathering facts rather than fueling rumors and speculation when it comes to $$$.
Tear down Cross Keys and sell the land? Not going to happen soon ... so what do we do for the community for the next 10-20 years???
The tear-down and rebuild number is $36m I think Cere quoted somewhere. Where do we get another $20m? I suppose 2-3 years from now a determined group of business and civic leaders could probably raise that privately. Would the community support such a delay?
I don't know. It is frustrating that Cross Keys wasn't the priority a few years ago. Supposedly, everyone saw declining enrollments and thought it was not a wise investment. Very short-sighted ... who do "they" think is going to be living in northwest DeKalb? As density increases all the children disappear?
Consolidate Lakeside and Cross Keys? Located where? I've got it - the GM plant at a DCSS urban, collegiate styled campus.

wow -- you go guys! I also wonder about the Druid Hills property - it's very centrally located (only about 2 miles from where CK is now) - A bigger Chamblee could handle kids who choose a traditional path and a school of technology could handle the ones who want a hands-on, jobs focused program. Druid Hills could be a good place for a vo-tech HS. Avondale could remain there for DSA (we're always trying to serve the most students with our money, right? DSA only has 283 students - and that's from 8th-12th grades.)
Although - there's a lot of room at Druid Hills - perhaps we could tear down all the junky buildings (except the stadium) and replace them with a tech school and a new DSA with performance theatres that could be rented out to the community....
The money? Could come from the sale of CK property and the unused $16 million. It could work... with the DSA school slated as a "future" project on the property.
The International school could move to the old Chamblee Middle...
Lots of space there on ND Hills...

psc @ 5:18 -
Re Clarkston for career technology: The high school is ACROSS THE STREET from Ga Perimeter and DeKalb Tech!! Talk about appropriate .
And using the current central office space - AROUND THE CORNER from Clarkston/GPC/ DeKalb Tech. Seems like a wealth of possibilities.
Cere @ 5:52. The idea of creating a community / DCSS shared arts center at N. Druid Hills has been floated for quite a while. At There is a park there, too. Think about it - arts center / recreational area / showcase for DCSS productions.

- Dekalbparent said...
Am I just being naive here? Help me, bloggers.
What if DCSS and its constituents sat down and brainstormed on what would be a REALLY GOOD school system for the county - what it would have, where different programs would be located (e.g. putting career tech near DeKalb Tech and GPC), what facilities would be needed, logical attendance zones and how high school students would get to the choice schools...
Then, figure out how to achieve it - not how come it can't be done, but what would it take to get there. Talk to DeKalb BOC and DeKalb government. Talk about what facilities everybody could use (it seems so silly to be going bonkers about creating, maintaining and funding recreation in one branch of county government while we let school playgrounds and athletic facilities lie virtually unused). Talk to each other like real people rather than cardboard symbols of something.
Know what I mean?

Not trying to hijack the post, but I am wondering if anybody else's student has talked about lack of A/C in the school this week.
My student at DHHS told me that there were eight classes outside at the same time yesterday - no mean feat when the front of the school is fenced off for construction. (there are pictures that confirm this) There were classes sitting on the stairs, on the walkways, in the dugout, on fallen trees on a hill, on the tennis court, on the field.
Is this an isolated problem?

Shayna Steinfeld had a great idea when she was running for school board. She called it Lakeside 2020. Get it? Like clear vision - 20/20 for the year 2020.
How about forming a DeKalb 2020 - utilizing school reps, county park reps, etc... to create a vision - then seek out developers to implement the plan - instead of the opposite.
I was crushed when I found out the DCSS had given the School of Technology North to Perimeter College -- it's right there next door - almost on campus! A wasted opportunity to create a partnership -- so that they could (inappropriately) build a new elementary school there. Even though there was a building that could have been renovated as a new ES - the old Chamblee Middle - already complete with a SPLOST 1 gym - and still to this day - sitting empty - creating blight.
I think we do have great ideas - I just wish the powers that be would tap in to the community and really LISTEN. Sadly, every time they form citizen led committees, the ideas generated get squandered. Examples - the Blue Ribbon Task Force, the Regional Design Teams, Needs Assessment teams, etc. The Board has always gone back to political power plays - bringing home the bacon to each district.
Hopefully we really are entering a new era as Jay Cunningham keeps saying. If they put their money where their mouths are - they will ask and listen to what the people want.
We have enough magnet schools for "high achievers" and other special people. The county has millions sitting in the bank for the parks. PLEASE focus on ordinary students who just want a shot at a decent job and a good quality of life. We're losing these students by the hundreds.

DeKalb Parent
One of my children attends Chamblee High school. They have no air conditioning, the heat is STILL running and the entire building is so hot it is making the students and staff ill. The students were told that AC could not be turned on until after they return from Spring Break.
- March 12, 2009 at 12:47 PM
None of the air conditioners in any of the schools were turned on. They will be turned on after spring break as has been done for many, many years.
- March 12, 2009 at 2:13 PM
"None of the air conditioners in any of the schools were turned on. They will be turned on after spring break as has been done for many, many years."
There are three or four full-time DCSS Sam Moss staff members just for AC, and they absolutely suck at their jobs. The entire can't turn on the AC until spring break is a fallacy. Another excuse for poor operational management.
Contract out all heating & air conditioning operations & maintenance, PLEASE!
- March 12, 2009 at 2:21 PM
- themommy said...
The AC/heat thing drives me nuts. I wonder if other systems operate like this.
They set dates in stone (ie after spring break).
They will tell you (if you call to complain) that it might get cold one or two more times... thus the heat stays on.
I wonder if other systems operate like this. The inability to flip easily between heat and AC. It is easy in houses, it is this hard in all commercial buildings?
- March 12, 2009 at 3:46 PM
Newer HVAC systems can be monitored and adjusted from off site. A HVAC operator can monitor and change the temp from one single location for a number of buildings.
DCSS would literally save millions in HVAC costs over a period of a few years with tech upgrades, better regularly scheduled maintenance, contracting out the entire HVAC O & M, etc.
DCSS needs to bring in a consultant and learn best HVAC practices from Emory, GA Tech, the Gwinnett School System, etc. Save taxpayer money. No more mold & mildew. Better air quality for students, teachers and staff. Less absenteeism.
And if a few Sam Moss staffers are no longer needed, so be it.

I do believe the problem with the money amount set aside was a problem according to some teachers I know from Cross Keys because the expenses for moving the school are being taken out of the original amount and they felt this was wrong.
Regarding heat/air regulations are school. We have total control of our rooms at North Springs. You can go from Air to Heat anytime you need to. I do believe that Dekalb schools for the most part air/heat is set from a central location and they decide totally when the heat/air can be on. Normally the air goes off at 3:30 or 4:00 every day in the school buildings. This is controlled at the county level. If you have a meeting after school in Dekalb you have to call to have the air/heat turned on.

@Ella "... because the expenses for moving the school are being taken out of the original amount and they felt this was wrong."
The Tech move expenses are NOT being taken out of Cross Keys SPLOST III. That was cleared up at the APE meeting a few weeks ago. I think you had to leave before that came up. Who won the hockey game? :)

Yes, DCSS 2020 is exactly what is needed. Can Shayna's action plan be adapted to a system-wide application?

I'm sure it can. I'm sure if you called Shayna, she'd explain what her vision was. I only heard her mention it in a couple of forums so I don't know the details. But I think she said each board rep could have a 2020 committee for their area schools.
- March 13, 2009 at 2:40 PM
- Cerebration said...
Actually, one in an effort to create a better vision, I believe it's time to take a serious inventory of all of the buildings and properties the school system (taxpayers) owns. By assessing realistically, the conditions of buildings vs the market value of the land we could make better plans for the future as far as re-purposing and redistricting goes. It would certainly help the brainstorming process.
For example, I''m all for the new Marine Academy High School, however, I think the chosen location is poor. The Heritage Center is currently a special needs school and was originally built as an elementary school. I'm unsure if it even has lockers or a gymnasium. Beyond that - the school is only a half mile from Lakeside, down a quiet neighborhood side street.
Since the Marine school is a high school, slated to serve 650 students at full capacity - all of whom will have to drive with no bus service - this will cause a huge traffic stress on Briarcliff Rd as well as Heritage Street. There's already lots of school congestion due to student drivers who attend Lakeside - the roads cannot handle another 300-400 cars in the morning.
A better idea is -- use the soon to be empty Open Campus for the Marines and sell the Heritage property to the county - it's next door to a small county park that is currently very highly used with little parking space. The county has the money in the bank to buy up land for parks - and so far - there's been virtually none purchased in our district. Then use the proceeds to renovate the Open Campus for the Marines.
Good idea, huh?
- March 13, 2009 at 2:56 PM
- Cerebration said...
Or - the Marine school could open in the now closed old Chamblee Middle school in Dunwoody. I know they have a gym and a large field for PE as well as plenty of parking.
If we had a list of inventory, perhaps we could even find more alternatives.
- March 13, 2009 at 2:58 PM
Cerebration, if you want a list of all real estate owned by the DCSS just send a simple Georgia Open Records Act request to Pat Pope. I suggest copying Bob Moseley. Just be specific so that it can be easily answered. The more complex or open ended a GORA request is, the longer it will take to get a response.
- March 13, 2009 at 5:42 PM
The old Chamblee MS campus was originally an elementary school and "renovated" to temporarily house a middle school. That facility could in no way accomodate a high school. There is not even enough parking spots to handle the number of school buses that are parked there each day.
- March 13, 2009 at 6:46 PM
- Cerebration said...
Believe me, it's definitely more suitable than what they have currently planned.
This school is a little former elementary, turned special needs school down at the very end of a street off of Briarcliff Road. You can literally walk there from Lakeside in under 5 minutes.
- March 13, 2009 at 7:10 PM
- Cerebration said...
I can't find stats about Heritage Center. If anyone knows the story - the size of the building, number of students, etc, please post it here. I did find that there was $490,000 allocated to the school in the Nov 06 CIP, but I don't see what it's for or if it's been completed.
Say - how about the Willam Bradley Bryant Center (WBBC) for the military academy? Aren't they moving the offices from there to the Mt. Industrial Center? WBBC is easily accessible - right off I-285 at Lawrenceville HWY. Plus - they have lots of parking and a large field.
Any other ideas or options for a location for the military school?

This must be where Jody got her info for her article regarding the $11 million for construction.... The October, 2008 lists the Cross Keys project as #2 in the list of priorities with a budget of $ 16,477,631 (lower than the original $16,927,348 in the Nov 2006 CIP)
But when you scroll down to the change order list, the base contract amount for the CK construction project is listed as this --
421-106 Cross Keys HS $ 11,000,000

This was what upset so many of the teachers at Cross Keys. But apparently the amount is back where it originally was and they did saw at that meeting that if the construction of Cross Keys needed more money then they could return to the school board and ask for more money.

Not to hijack this thread, but it is important for the citizens of DeKalb to understand the following about this Institute:
It is being placed in an area with difficult access. North Druid Hill traffic is horrific and transportation will be horrible. The Board needs a public discussion of why this school is being placed into another school as an academy.
The question all taxpayers (remember the Pentagon is picking up the tab for a big part of this program) should be asking is will the most interested students be able to get there.
The principal's position has now been posted. This school will have no more than 200 students yet the principal's salary will be in the same range of every other DCSS principal. Keep in mind, that at this school, there will be a Commandant who handles everything but instruction. We should all watch to see how many assistant principals this school will have.

I see the property on North Druid Hills by Adams as a better place for the Military Academic. There will be plenty of room to grow and also the old gym which is now the Jim Cheery Center could be turned back into a gymnasium.

Brand New Stair Banister, Home Remodel
02 September 2010
I try not to feature the same blogger right in a row, but you will have to forgive me for this one cause I couldn't help it when I saw this party link. Ashley over at The Hillside Home has completely updated the look of her home by changing out the old banister on her staircase and balcony. Not only was this a necessary change for saftey, but honestly it brought the home's look right up to date in a snap! Check out the transformation:
The first time we looked at the house that is now our home, the first thing we saw as we walked in the door was the stairway. Our house was built in the 1970's and the stairway was original. It was built before there were building codes determining the space between each bar, so my mommy-radar was sounding on high as I noticed that Liam would fit right through those bars with little to no effort. EEEK.
Above are the before pictures and below is the BIG REVEAL of our brand new craftsman stairway. We are absolutely in love with the finished product. It is safe as can be and is a beautiful focal point in our home.

25th June: McBride to Mt. Robson
Odometer: 85 km, Start: 10.15am, Finish: 4.15pm, Avg: 19.0 km/h,
Weather: Overcast with rain showers, Temp: 14-19°C
Bear count: 5, Moose count: 1, Mosquito Bites: 31, Hills walked: 0
Road Conditions: #16, Good surface, 2m shoulder, sometimes rumble strips. Traffic very light, more after Tete Jaune junction (#5). Shop at Dunster (30km), Services at Tete Jaune. Pretty flat. Ascent: 500m up/500m down.
I looked out of the window (motel again...) at about 7. The clouds were almost at town level and it was raining and very misty. Not worth an early start then! Gradually it brightened and I was on the road by 10.15am, today's destination now set at Mt. Robson, the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies.
Luckily, yesterday's headwind that caused such a chuckle-fest had eased and reversed, so I had a comfortable ride along the flat Robson Valley. (Wind direction is very important to a cyclist; too much heat, cold, sun or rain can be an inconvenience, too much headwind can bring you to the point of despair in less than an hour…
I would have loved for today to have been sunny. I had 2,500m mountains flanking both sides of me. As it was overcast and showery for much of the day the peaks were hidden in dark cloud with just the occasional glimpse of a snow capped summit. At the end of the Robson Valley, I reached the junction with route #5 at Tete Jaune Cache and headed towards Mt. Robson itself. I was now well and truly back in the high mountains!
I passed Mt. Terry Fox on the climb up. (Terry Fox was a young guy who tried to run across Canada on an artificial leg but succumbed to cancer on the way across. His story touched the nation at the time).
I approached Mt. Robson, but it was shrouded in mist and cloud. (I think the same happened the last time I came past this way as well). I determined my camping options and while having a meal checked out the view every now and again to see if the mountain was clear. It very nearly was once or twice, but not quite! I got a couple of pictures of Mt. Robson and the surrounding peaks when the sun momentarily caught them. I decided to black & white some of them for moody effect!

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Christmas and New Year! This year is going to be amazing, I can feel it. I wish everyone nothing but the best in this new year, and I hope we all walk away from it feeling better than we did before. My NYR is simply to grow as an individual and to grow stronger relationships with those I can't live without.
Last week, on the 29th, I almost lost my best friend, Henry. Henry is the sweetest, most awsome cat ever! At the age of 3, he had a stroke, and my entire world fell apart. Upon arrival at the vet ER, they took him from me and put him straight into an oxygen tank. The doctors told me repeatedly that he wasn't going to pull through and that I needed to put him down. You can probably imagine my absolute heartbreak. There were no warning signs - but I do remember a strange look in his eyes when I came home from vacation on the 26th. He was trying to tell me then that he wasn't feeling well...but nothing could have prepared me for this.
When Henry had the stroke, a blod clot shot into his right front paw, cutting off circulation, making the paw cold. A second blod clot shot into his brain causing brain trauma. I was devestated. The blod clot shot into the portion of his brain which controlled his sense of direction, and so Henry was contorting his body in all these extreme ways, trying to right himself, but only making himself worse. His eyes were open but he wasn't seeing. He was dying.
I kept thinking to myself "I know what I have to do, but I can't bare to say goodbye." I just couldn't do it. I didn't want to give up on him, and later, after hours and hours of crying, it dawned on me that I was waiting on a miracle...and boy did I receive one.
I decided to give him a night - to at least give him a chance. The next morning at about 5:30, I went in to see if he'd made any progress at all...all I wanted was a slight improvement, some sort of reason to keep the treatment going against the advice of the vets. When I saw him, and he SAW me, he stood up, gave me a meow, and I felt like crying. I couldn't believe it. Because the brain damage had occured on the right side of his brain, he was unable to get off of his left side. He was only able to lay there on his left, with his head tucked under his body in the most extreme way. So to see him see me, and then try his hardest to stand, it was amazing. When the vet saw that, she was shocked. She looked at me, and I didn't know what to say. It was only for a few moments, but it was enough. Treatment continued, and I am happy to say that as of Jan. 1st, 2010, Henry is resting comfortably at home, with only a slight head tilt, which I am hoping goes away with time. He has all of his personality back as well as his appitite.
I said all that to say this; In 2010, I mst definitely believe in MIRACLES.

Hi, I'm Jackninja5, presenting you with another conspiracy theory. This one is based on the well-known anime, Death Note. First, a disclaimer: If you don't like spoilers, you might want to close this tab as it is full of them.
Death Note stars Light Yagami, who found a book dropped by a shinigami, Ryuk, known as the Death Note. When one writes the name of a person while thinking of their image in their head so as not to affect those who share the name, the person dies within 40 seconds. If a type of death is not specified, it will be a heart attack that kills them. The eleventh section of the rules says "Even after the individual's name, the time of death, and death condition on the Death Note were filled out, the time and condition of death can be altered as many times as you want, as long as it is changed within 6 minutes and 40 seconds from the time it was filled in. But, of course, this is only possible before the victim dies." Light uses this to kill all criminals (kinda reminds you of Rodrigo Duterte, am I right?) in the world to make it a better place with him as a god. However, the rights of prisoners are also important even if they have committed horrific crimes. Nations banded together and called a detective known as L to catch the killer, who the internet dubbed as Kira. L had done a lot to try to catch Kira but he died halfway through the series from Kira himself. However, did L know all along that the first Kira at least was Light?
L knew that Kira was living in Japan as the first of his victims' crimes were only reported on Japanese media. He even tested Kira by sending a criminal who was due for execution to pose as him on a public broadcast and present his name. Light wrote the name as expected but was pissed when he found out it was a fake. L used the letter as an alias and kept his face hidden behind a big L on a MacBook Pro. He launched an investigation in Japan to catch him and noticed a pattern in killings. The criminals were all dying during out-of-school hours making L suspect Kira might be a student. Since Light's father was chief of the police force, Light hacked into the investigation and received information about it causing him to change his tactics and kill a criminal every hour. This caused suspicion to L that the culprit might be someone in the task force or one of their family members. FBI agent Raye Penber spied on Light so he began planning to get rid of him and other FBI agents. After revealing his name to him during a bus-jacking, Light was able to kill him but not after forcing him to write down the names of all other FBI agents in Japan. Due to fears of Kira targeting anyone who tries to stop him, the task force was severely shortened. This was not just due to the fears but also because L and the Japanese police mistrusted each other. L moved to a hotel in the Kanto region to meet the remaining officers to rebuild the trust between them.
However, could this "trust" really be him trying to get to him? Light's house had been wiretapped and a lot of security cameras had been placed to watch all the family members inside. Light had decided to fake L out by spending the day in his room looking at dirty magazines and studying, the latter of which while he was killing criminals by learning about their crimes via mini-TV hidden in his chip bag and writing their names in the same bag. Light's father urged L that his family has been cleared but L claims they seem "too innocent". L said it was only around 5% of a chance that he is Kira. However, he seems to be too suspicious towards someone who only has a 5% chance of committing the crime. This could be a cover for him to spy on Light without his father intervening. There are other members that he could spy on in the family and another family was also under investigation so why did he just pick Light? He even followed him into his entrance exam. L told him that he was L and tested Light's deductive reasoning skills. Impressed by this, he offered Light to work for the task force. Light's first involvement started when a copycat killer, Misa Amane, posed as Kira to send a message to the police that they can join him or die. Light was to write a script to pose as Kira for L and L said it was pretty impressive. This could be all L needs to prove his suspicions that Light IS Kira. Kira is pretty much in his flat!
L also kept suspecting Light of being Kira and seems to be aware that Light is really lying to him in a perfect cover-up. Misa found Light as Kira and decided to cooperate with him to become his girlfriend. She was later kidnapped by the police on suspicion of being the second Kira. She had been blinded and restrained in attempts to torture her into admitting to it. It was obvious that they would really like to have the Kiras executed as they gagged her to prevent her biting her tongue in a suicide attempt. Light had been watching this and thought of a plan to save them both by resigning the Death Notes for them both as part of his plan to kill L. He later asked L to interrogate him until proven innocent no matter what he says. L had him locked up for 50 days even after hearing that criminals were killed while he was locked up. L never even told him that. It could be L not wanting to admit he is wrong but he might actually be right. He seemed to only release Light after urges to do so from the rest of the task force. An execution of Light and Misa had been called but it was proven to be a false sentence. Since Light's father was the driver, this could be why he decided not to kill Light as it would cause outrage. Light relinquished all memories of the Death Note for a while to take suspicion of himself but L had himself handcuffed to Light, even during dates. This shows L probably knows more than the show says.
In 2013, Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA had been spying on millions of people, some of whom are abroad. While in 2007, this wasn't known, it could be entirely possible that L had access to NSA documents that may contain information on Light as his use of the internet can be browsed. This may also cause a debate about the NSA's methods. L had also done some shady and even criminal acts to try to catch Light but ended up dying. He might have secretly supported Kira, which would explain why he used criminals scheduled for execution to stand in for him. However, whether he supports Kira or not, his choices would not be worth millions of deaths, including his own.
