Court of Appeals of Kansas
March 10, 2017
State of Kansas, Appellee,v.Daquantrius S. Johnson, Appellant.
There is no more fundamental right in the United States than
the right to a jury trial.

error is structural. Structural errors are so intrinsically
harmful that automatic reversal is required without regard to
existence of effect on outcome.

Hill, P.J., Buser and Leben, JJ.
reverse Daquantrius S. Johnson's firearm convictions
because the trial judge fell asleep during his trial. We see
no option other than granting Johnson a new trial for such an
State charged Johnson with criminal possession of a firearm
by a convicted felon, aggravated assault, and criminal
discharge of a firearm. After his conviction, the court
imposed a 43-month sentence, 12 months' postrelease
supervision, and lifetime registration. In this direct
appeal, Johnson raises 10 issues, but we focus on the first.
Basically, we must answer the question: What are the legal
consequences of a judge falling asleep on the bench during a
criminal trial? After that, we will address two other issues
that may have an impact on a new trial.
On the
morning of the second day of the trial, one of the jurors
pulled the bailiff aside because the juror had observed the
trial judge sleeping during the trial the day before. The
juror asked the bailiff whether Johnson could have a fair
trial. This remark was passed on to the judge. The trial
judge acknowledged on the record that he "did nod off
some." Addressing this issue, the judge told the jury:
"You are the trier of facts. I decide what evidence you
will hear and what instructions you will receive. I don't
believe during the course of this trial yesterday afternoon
there were any objections raised that I had to make rulings
on that would have been affected by my nodding off."
judge asked whether Johnson wanted to make a motion for a
mistrial based on the conduct. Defense counsel stated,
"Not at this time. We're ready to proceed." The
afternoon session included opening statements and part of the
victim's testimony.
contends on appeal that a sleeping judge is an absent judge,
and structural error occurs when a judge fails to preside
over a jury trial. Johnson does acknowledge that he did not
object to the trial judge's "nodding off" but
now contends that he may raise the issue for the first time
on appeal to prevent the denial of his fundamental right to a
jury trial.
For its
part, the State argues that we should not consider this issue
for the first time on appeal. If we do address the issue, the
State contends it is invited error; and if we cannot agree
that it is invited error, then we must reject the argument
because Johnson has failed to show any prejudice to his case.
address this issue because Johnson's newly asserted
theory involves only a question of law arising on proved or
admitted facts and is finally determinative of the case. See
State v. Phillips, 299 Kan. 479, 493, 325 P.3d 1095
(2014). But, more importantly, there is no more fundamental
right in the United States than the right to a jury trial.
State v. Bowers, 42 Kan.App.2d 739, 740, 216 P.3d
715 (2009). This is an issue that cannot be ignored. We now
look to the question of invited error.
the judge admitted to sleeping during the trial,
Johnson's counsel declined the court's invitation to
move for a mistrial. On appeal, Johnson contends the invited
error doctrine is inapplicable because the error was
structural in nature. The State argues to the contrary.
It is
fundamental that a litigant may not invite error and then
complain of that error on appeal. State v. Verser,
299 Kan. 776, 784, 326 P.3d 1046 (2014). This long-standing
rule supports the common-sense notion that parties cannot
complain about their own conduct at trial or about rulings
they asked a trial judge to make. State v. Hargrove,
48 Kan.App.2d 522, 531, 293 P.3d 787 (2013).
doctrine also binds trial counsel to strategic decisions and
deters parties from asking a judge to act in a certain way
just to litter the record with error in order to provide
grounds for appeal of an adverse judgment. Hargrove,
48 Kan.App.2d at 532. Indeed, the Hargrove court
held that an invited jury instruction error cannot be
asserted as error on appeal when the instruction was proposed
for a tactical advantage. 48 Kan.App.2d at 547. In
Verser, our Supreme Court applied the invited error
doctrine when a judge gave the defendant the option of having
a mistrial declared, and instead the defendant chose to
proceed with the trial. 299 Kan. at 784.
there are limits to the doctrine's application. The
invited error doctrine is inapplicable when a constitutional
error is structural. Structural errors are so intrinsically
harmful that automatic reversal is required without regard to
existence of effect on outcome. State v. Hill, 271
Kan. 929, 934, 26 P.3d 1267 (2001), abrogated on other
grounds by State v. Voyles, 284 Kan. 239, 252-53, 160
P.3d 794 (2007).
few constitutional errors are structural errors. The short
list of structural errors includes:
• total deprivation of counsel;
• lack of an impartial trial judge;
• denial of right to self-representation at trial;
• violation of a right to a public trial; and
• erroneous reasonable doubt instruction. See United
States v. Marcus, 560 U.S. 258, 263, 130 S.Ct. 2159, 176
L.Ed.2d 1012 (2010).
We note
that these errors cannot be cured by anything other than a
new trial.
put, the issue at the heart of this case is whether the fact
that the judge slept during a portion of a criminal trial
constitutes structural error. If so, Johnson's
convictions must be reversed. We hold that the judge sleeping
during a criminal trial is a structural error.
are structural when they defy harmless-error analysis because
they affect the framework within which the trial proceeds.
Two recent Kansas cases come to mind. In State v.
Jones, 290 Kan. 373, Syl. ¶ 7, 228 P.3d 394 (2010),
the court held a violation of the Sixth Amendment right to
counsel was subject to structural error analysis. Then in
State v. Womelsdorf, 47 Kan.App.2d 307, 323, 274
P.3d 662 (2012), the court ruled that the lack of an
impartial judge is a structural error. If we cast our
research net outside the state, more illumination is
Arizona v. Fulminante, 499 U.S. 279, 309-10, 111 S.Ct.
1246, 113 L.Ed.2d 302 (1991), the Court distinguished mere
trial errors-e.g., the admission of an involuntary
confession-from structural errors-e.g., the total
deprivation of the right to counsel at trial and an impartial
judge. Trial errors are errors which occur when evidence is
presented and may be assessed in the context of other
evidence presented to determine whether the error prejudiced
the defendant. 499 U.S. at 307-08. Structural errors differ
because they are
"structural defects in the constitution of the trial
mechanism, which defy analysis by 'harmless-error'
standards. The entire conduct of the trial from beginning to
end is obviously affected by the absence of counsel for a
criminal defendant, just as it is by the presence on the
bench of a judge who is not impartial." 499 U.S. at
Court listed other structural errors:
• unlawful exclusion of members of the defendant's
race from a grand jury;
• the right to self-representation at trial; and
• the right to a public trial. 499 U.S. at 310.
"Each of these constitutional deprivations is a similar
structural defect affecting the framework within which the
trial proceeds, rather than simply an error in the trial
process itself. 'Without these basic protections, a
criminal trial cannot reliably serve its function as a
vehicle for determination of guilt or innocence, and no
criminal punishment may be regarded as fundamentally
fair.'" 499 U.S. at 310.
Gomez v. United States, 490 U.S. 858, 876, 109 S.Ct.
2237, 104 L.Ed.2d 923 (1989), the United States Supreme Court
held that it was structural error for a magistrate, rather
than a statutorily authorized judge, to conduct jury
"Among those basic fair trial rights that '"can
never be treated as harmless"' is a defendant's
'right to an impartial adjudicator, be it judge or
jury.' [Citations omitted.] Equally basic is a
defendant's right to have all critical stages of a
criminal trial conducted by a person with jurisdiction to
preside." 490 U.S. at 876.
early as 1899, the United States Supreme Court, explaining
the unique role of the trial judge, held that a trial by jury
is a trial
"in the presence and under the superintendence of a
judge empowered to instruct [the jury] on the law and to
advise them on the facts, and . . . to set aside their
verdict, if, in his opinion, it is against the law or the
evidence. This proposition has been so generally
admitted, and so seldom contested, that there has been little
occasion for its distinct assertion." (Emphasis added.)
Capital Traction Co. v. Hof, 174 U.S. 1, 13-14, 19
S.Ct. 580, 43 L.Ed. 873 (1899).
How can
a sleeping judge supervise anything other than his or her
dreams? Is the trial really "in the presence" of a
sleeping judge? Obviously, this issue defies harmless error
Kansas cases are relevant. In an early Kansas Supreme Court
case, State v. Beuerman, 59 Kan. 586, 53 P. 874
(1898), during argument, the presiding judge of a jury trial
left the bench, went into an adjoining room, closed the door
behind him, and remained there for about 10 minutes. The
Supreme Court admonished that a judge cannot relinquish
control of the trial:
"[T]here can be no court without a judge, and he cannot
even temporarily relinquish control of the court or the
conduct of the trial. It is necessary that he should hear all
that transpires in the trial in order that he may
intelligently review the proceedings upon the motion for a
new trial. It is especially important that he should be
visibly present every moment of the actual progress of a
criminal trial where the highest penalty of the law may be
imposed. The defendant is entitled to be tried in a court
duly constituted, and if the presiding judge abandons the
trial or relinquishes control over the proceedings the
accused has good cause to complain. [Citations omitted.] The
fact that the court may not see or hear everything occurring
in the court-room, or that he may step into an adjoining
room, but not out of hearing of the proceedings, is not
necessarily prejudicial to the interests of the defendant in
every case; but the presiding judge cannot safely absent
himself from the trial or relinquish control over the
proceedings during the trial." 59 Kan. at 592.
We must
point out that the Beuerman court did not determine
whether the absence of the trial judge constituted reversible

It wasn't Ronald McDonald or Krusty, but some Bozo in a clown outfit broke into a Cordova Bay Road condo last night.
The costumed criminal climbed up construction scaffolding to find an unlocked sliding glass door on the fourth floor, said Saanich police Sgt. John Price.
The clown started rummaging through drawers and cupboards before accidentally opening a door to the bedroom, where a man was just settling down for a night's sleep.
Not surprisingly, the man was shocked to be confronted with the worst fear of almost any child and the plot of a gripping Stephen King novel — a menacing clown in your bedroom.
"It's one thing to have a suspect break into your room, but it's quite another thing to have a clown break into your room," said Price.
The clown made a grab for the man's watch, which was sitting on a nightstand table. But the condo resident told him to get lost, and the clown fled down the scaffolding, said Price.
A police dog was unable to catch the clown scent. However, there were muddy footprints in the apartment, said Price.
It doesn't appear the clown prince of crime got away with any actual items — that is, assuming the intruder was a man. Price said that's unclear.
"There's no indication on gender because the clown didn't say a word."
Anyone who saw something "unusual" in the 5100 block of Cordova Bay Road around 10:30 p.m. is asked to phone Saanich police at 475-4321.

In the biggest non-surprise of the night, Robert Pattinson won the MTV Movie Award for Best Male Performance for the third year in a row. But the man himself was still shocked.
"I really didn't think I was going to win. Zac Efron was crying and stuff in that clip!" Pattinson said during his acceptance speech, referring to his fellow nominee's performance in "Charlie St. Cloud."
Still, he recognized that it was the fans who brought him the win yet again; his first win was in 2009 for "Twilight," and then again last year for "New Moon." "I'm consistently surprised, so thank you very much," he said. "I hope we see you all again next year."
When MTV News caught up with the "Breaking Dawn" star after his big win, he was worried he dropped the ball a bit in his acceptance speech.
"I'm just trying to come up with something funny to say to all of these. I pussied out on my first one and said nothing," Pattinson said with a laugh.
Fortunately, the man better known as Edward Cullen followed up his Best Male Performance acceptance speech with a much stronger Best Fight one. He took to the stage with "Eclipse" co-stars Bryce Dallas Howard and Xavier Samuel and, after a moment's awkwardness, pulled out the humor.
"Well, yeah, I won, ha!" Pattinson said as his acceptance.
Howard turned to him, apologizing for her villainess role in "Eclipse" by saying, "I guess I should say: I'm so sorry I tried to kill you, Rob."
"It's all right. I ripped your head off, and now you're pregnant!" he replied to the audience's laughter.
MTV News has all of the highlights from the 2011 MTV Movie Awards. Relive the best moments, watch red-carpet interviews with your favorite stars and read all about what went on behind the scenes on the big night.

Faithful Voters Guide
Religious Leaders Say:
Vote No on Initiative 1033 & Vote to Approve Referendum 71
As you consider voting on your ballot that's arrived in the mail, I want to share with you the Washington Association of Churches' perspective on two important ballot issues.
The first is Tim Eyman's Initiative 1033. WAC, along with over 200 organizations and communities as well as 100's of religious leaders call on all people of compassion to
vote NO on 1033
See letter and signatories
As people of faith, we believe that our tax system should bridge the gap between the rich and poor, promote economic security, and protect our state's most vulnerable residents. This latest initiative from Tim Eyman fails on all three counts. It not only fails to bridge the gap, it makes it wider, deeper and worst of all
. It will force deeper cuts and lock them in for years to come.
We call upon all members of the faith communities to join us in raising moral voices to defeat I-1033. Please talk to your friends, family and faith community about the damage this initiative would do to the people of our state.
For our friends in King County, I-1033 is hard to find on the ballot. It is on the lower left of your ballot, below the instructions.
The second issue you will be voting on is Referendum 71
See members of Faith Communities' position on REF.71
The WAC joins the Church Council of Greater Seattle, the Lutheran Public Policy Office of Washington State and over 200 clergy from diverse faith traditions in urging you to
vote to APPROVE Referendum 71
, the domestic partnership law passed in the 2009 legislative session
. This will protect the rights of all families, including same gender partners and unmarried seniors.
As people of faith, we view the role of religion to nurture and support families, not to regard some as less deserving. Failure of this referendum would mean that basic civil rights and essential protections will be provided to some families and denied to others. To deny families, including older couples, the basic right to take care of each other threatens not only those families but our collective commitment to each other.
We respect the rights of all members of faith communities to believe what they are called to believe, and to practice their faith as they see fit. But where such essential rights are involved, the state has an obligation to protect the rights of all members of our communities.
Please call us if you have questions about I-1033 or R-71 or a question about voting in general. More information is available on the
No on I-1033
Approve Ref. 71

The man who shot and killed a San Antonio cop "execution style" outside of a police headquarters was arrested on Monday, and is now claiming the reasoning behind the sickening murder was due to him being upset over a custody battle.
Otis Tyrone McKane, 31, was caught near a highway overpass in San Antonio, and he told police that he "lashed out at somebody who didn't deserve it" when he shot Detective Benjamin Marconi, 50.
"I've been through several custody battles, and I was upset at the situation I was in, and I lashed out at someone who didn't deserve it, Mckane told the press.
Mckane also went on to say he wanted to apologize to the family of the detective for his heartless attack.
Detective Benjamin Marconi, was with the department for 20 years, was a father of two, and was sitting behind the wheel of his vehicle at approximately 11.45am Sunday when Mckane pulled up behind him, shot him twice in the head, and then fled from the scene.
Four hours prior to the killing, Mckane can be seen on surveillance footage pacing in front of the police HQ before he entered, asked a clerk a question and left without getting an answer, authorities said.
"I think the uniform was the target," said San Antonio Police Chief William McManus.
"I don't know why he was in headquarters — we have some ideas," McManus added, noting that no cops were inside at the time.
"This is everyone's worst nightmare, the officers in the department, the family and everyone who supports the officers," McManus continued.
"Our hearts go out to all of Detective Marconi's family, to all our SAPD brothers and sisters for whom this has hit home hard. Most families will be celebrating the holidays, SAPD will be burying one of its own because of an ultimate act of cowardice by a suspect who will be caught and brought to justice."
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has since released a statement where he extending his condolences to detective Marconi's family, and said he would sign legislation that would make targeted attacks against law enforcement a hate crime.
The surveillance video of Mckane sneaking around the police HQ can be seen below:

Calgary kayaker found drowned in Lake Newell
RCMP are having a tough time finding the family of a Calgary man who drowned in a lake near Brooks yesterday.
The man was found floating in Lake Newell around 7 p.m. MT Friday.
He was pronounced dead on scene.
The man's identity has not been released, but Const. Wade Oliver from Brooks RCMP said the man was in his mid 30s.
"We just aren't sure what happened. His vehicle was found on the shore, the kayak was floating by itself and he was found in the water," said Oliver.
"Every avenue that we've gone down, we haven't been able to find family yet."
An autopsy has been ordered for the kayaker.
He was wearing a life jacket, but police say it was not fitted properly.
Oliver said the man lived alone in Calgary and has asked that anyone who may be looking for a missing relative in the area to contact police immediately.

Roaming through archive.org, looking for video math lectures, I found a thirteen minute live performance by Tom Lehrer on video. Very nice. A whole lot of songs I did not know. I like the one about sociology. Unfortunately he does not perform 'Boston' ... Furthermore I learned that there's a Tom Lehrer community over at livejournal, cause theres a delta for every epsilon and now and then there's even an n.
One more thing just to keep up the recent avian influenza focus here: One famous song of Lehrer's is 'Poisoning pidgeons in the park'.

Liquid corrosion protection for the glass industry
Grafotec Spray Systems GmbH
Liquid corrosion protection for the glass industry
The Liquid Application System LA 1000 from Grafotec Spray Systems GmbH provides for a uniform corrosion protection of float glass. The Bavarian company is the only vendor worldwide to offer such a nozzleless process.
The protection against glass corrosion is an important quality aspect in the glass industry. The addition of aluminum oxide or zirconium oxide during the production efficiently reduces the glasses' proneness to corrosion. This process, however, is very expensive. An alternative is the application of liquid corrosion protection prior to the further processing of glass.
Nozzleless application of corrosion protection
To this end the Grafotec has conceived its Liquid Application System LA 1000, which allows for a nozzleless application of liquid corrosion protection. With approx. 6000 turns per minute, its special rotor principle with integrated high-speed roller produces a spray mist, which is applied to the glass surface through an adjustable opening. This creates a highly uniform film of corrosion protection.
Managing director Reinhold Senft explains: "Nozzle systems are prone to deposits; if individual nozzles get blocked or fail, this changes the complete spray result – up to the formation of lines without corrosion protection. With our nozzleless process this won't happen". Another benefit of the LA 1000 is its application width. Here again, the Grafotec Spray Systems GmbH demonstrates its flexibility: "Our Liquid Application system offers an application width of up to 5700 mm. Also tailored solutions from 6 meters on are possible thanks to its modular construction", explains Reinhold Senft.
The control system integrated into Grafotec's LA 1000 allows for a fine adjustment of the application solution and thickness up to a few percents and/or micrometers, and thus provides for a constant high quality standard. But the system does not only control the repeatability of the application volume – through the automatic adjustment to the glass width and track speed it also saves corrosion protection solution. A special reverse osmosis device guarantees the required quality of the process water. Its standard enclosure ensures a clean and trouble-free workplace and simultaneously complies with all applicable safety regulations.
Not only for corrosion protection
The LA 1000 is not only restricted to the application of liquid corrosion protection. Reinhold Senft explains: "Our internal test procedures demonstrated that also other current liquids or suspensions can be applied to different flat materials".

Machine Learning of Natural Language
We met because we both share the same views of language. Language is a living organism, produced by neural mechanisms relating in large numbers as a society. Language exists between minds, as a way of communicating between them, not as an autonomous process. The logical 'rules' seem to us an epiphe nomena of the neural mechanism, rather than an essential component in language. This view of language has been advocated by an increasing number of workers, as the view that language is simply a collection of logical rules has had less and less success. People like Yorick Wilks have been able to show in paper after paper that almost any rule which can be devised can be shown to have exceptions. The meaning does not lie in the rules. David Powers is a teacher of computer science. Christopher Turk, like many workers who have come into the field of AI (Artificial Intelligence) was originally trained in literature. He moved into linguistics, and then into computational linguistics. In 1983 he took a sabbatical in Roger Shank's AI project in the Computer Science Department at Yale University. Like an earlier visitor to the project, John Searle from California, Christopher Turk was increasingly uneasy at the view of language which was used at Yale.

The Dominicans from one side, the Franciscans from the other, marched in solemn procession to the Loggia dei Lanzi, which had been divided by a.
Sixtus set no limit to his plans; and what he achieved in his short pontificate is almost incredible; the completion of the dome of St Peter's; the loggia of Sixtus in the Lateran; the chapel of the Praesepe in Sta Maria Maggiore; additions.
The town hall, with its light open loggia of semicircular arches on the ground floor, was designed by Fra Giocondo towards the end of the i 5th century; its sculptured enrichments of pilasters and friezes are very graceful, though lacking the vigorous life of the earlier medieval sculptured ornamentation.
View more
It consists of two storeys with open colonnades, forming a long loggia on the ground and first floors, with seventeen arches on the sea front and eighteen on the other facade.
Some temples are to be seen in which,the ceiling of the loggia is boarded flat and decorated with large paintings of dragons in black and gold.
From the interior of the court access is given to the upper loggia by a very beautiful staircase of early Renaissance style, built in the middle of the 15th century by Antonio Rizzo.
Close by to the south is the beautiful Loggia degli Osii, erected in 1316, with two loggie or open porticos, one above the other, in black and white marble.
Francesco, and a castle of the Sforza family, dating from the 14th century and adorned with a loggia by Bramante and a tower imitating that of Filarete in the Castello Sforzesco at Milan.
Francesco has a fine 14thcentury loggia and campanile, and a handsome portal of a chapel in the interior by Constantino Trappola (15th century).
Designed by Bernardo Rossellino, and now the Banca d'Italia; the enormous block of the Monte de' Paschi, a bank of considerable wealth and antiquity, enlarged and partly rebuilt in the original style between 1877 and 1881, the old Dogana and Salimbeni palaces; the Palazzo Spannochi, a fine early Renaissance building by Giuliano da Maiano (now the post office); the Loggia di Mercanzia (15th century), now a club, imitating the Loggia dei Lanzi at Florence, with sculptures of the 15th century; the Loggia del Papa, erected by Pius II.; and other fine buildings.

I love Lamb Souvlaki. I`ve not yet found a fantastic recipe that makes me think I`m sitting on the Danforth but this one has sufficed in our family. It`s quite good. The secret is to let the meat marinate for several hours in the fridge to allow the flavours to infuse into the meat. I don`t really measure this so I`m kind of winging it here.
Ingredients.1 Leg of Lamb Roast
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 Shallot, finely diced
1-2 cloves of finely diced garlic
1 tablespoon Greek oregano
1 tablespoon rosemary
Trim excess fat from the lamb roast and cut the lamb into 1 1/2 inch – 2 inch cubes. Place in an airtight container and mix in all the other ingredients. Mix well and cover. Place in the fridge for several hours (about 5-6). Heat up the bbq and grill turning periodically for approx 10-15 minutes until meat.Serve with rice and vegetables with Tzatziki on the side for dipping. MMMMM

Robert Porzel on July 27, 2017
so how do I add this to my plegde?
Natalie Sarachaga on June 6, 2017
I am trying to add this on, but it's not letting me?
Luca Nervegna on June 5, 2017
just added 250$ for the 15mm!
Vicuña on June 4, 2017
Just added the 250$ to my pledge for the new Naiad 15mm lens :)
Brendan O'Sullivan on June 3, 2017
@Lomography Excellent, thanks; I've done this now. Off to sell some body parts for funds.
Kelly Williams on June 2, 2017
Added this lens to my package! ... increased my pledge amount from $545 to $745.
Thank you. I'm very excited about this project ...
Themuse on June 2, 2017
Squee! Added this lens to my package! I cannot wait to play with all this.. and Astrophotography is my favourite of all photography. I miss the surprise of film in many ways and Astro does give me that... I do so love your products and have spread the word back home in Australia hoping some fellow photogs will jump on board here. Have the Best Day :)
Leon SmitsSuperbackeron June 2, 2017
Yeah, I feel like 19mm would've been the way to go.
But then again, I'm talking from a MFT with 4/3" sensor perspective and the people have spoken!
So the 2x crop would make 19mm around 38mm, which for me would be ideal.
Even if you crop in on the 15mm, it would still be quite distorted/slanted. Of course, cooky character is what should draw you to vintage or artsy lenses/systems like this, so a little odd they always dare to be.
Lomography 8-time creator on June 2, 2017
@Brendan O'Sullivan - we´re still working on making updates everywhere. We don´t have product shots available at this point. To add it to your pledge all you need to do is adding 250USD to your current pledge amount!
Lomography 8-time creator on June 2, 2017
@Simon Yong - we´re currently preparing some RAW files, we´ll send you the link as soon as they are available!
Lomography 8-time creator on June 2, 2017
@David Quesnette - to get the extra lens please add 250$ on top of your current pledge amount. This can be edited in the "my pledges" page.
Simon Yong on June 1, 2017
The sample photos not look quite stunning yet.. and felt the distortion a lot.
Do you have others sample photo can show us again? I'm quite interested for this lens.
David Quesnette on June 1, 2017
How do I add on the Naiad 15mm lens?
Brendan O'Sullivan on June 1, 2017
This looks fantastic; however, I may be stupid, but it doesn't seem to appear on the Add-on page? Is anyone having more success than me?!
Lyndxe Zakopal on June 1, 2017
This will be superb for astrophotography!!

Greatest Find
Colleen Sexton
Accord Music Group
A review written for the Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange
Colleen Sexton is not your ordinary singer/songwriter. While her voice has been called everything from jazzy to earthy to passionate, what she hasn't yet been called is an all-around great entertainer. Her pure joy and love of entertaining an audience shows through in every song and in every performance. She's a live wire, a hot ticket and a savvy performer all rolled into a single package.
Greatest Find is her third and most accomplished recording. She employs the talents of such outstanding musicians as Janis Ian (on vocals and guitar), Cliff Eberhardt (on guitars) and brother Martin Sexton (on vocals and guitar). Her band includes Steve Dawson on guitars, Jesse Zubot on violin and mandolin, Tim Kelly on guitars, dobro and electric bass, Andrew Downig on bass and Elliott Polsky on percussion.
Colleen's skills as both a singer and songwriter come together on one of the recording's best cuts, Benediction:
Her voice shines with that famed passion, showcasing her beautifully crafted lyrics, while Janis Ian lends a hand on guitar and backing vocals.
School Days features Cliff Eberhardt's unmistakable dobro with Martin Sexton on backing guitar and distinctive vocals. The song has a traditional sound updated for the contemporary music scene with its call and respond vocal style - as if in church or in school. Its simple melody belies its complicated musical structure. A superb song.
Dear Arlene is a Colleen Sexton signature tune. It's been recorded on both her Live CD and on the original RESPOND collection. Its jazz stylings and passionate delivery make it a standout and a joy to listen to.
If you are already a Colleen Sexton fan, you will want to add this, her best work to date, to your collection. If you are new to this multi-talented artist, take the plunge and give Greatest Find a spin. I assure you that the superbly crafted tunes, and yes, the earthy, exuberant tones of Ms. Sexton's voice will keep you in thrall for days to come. She is no doubt one of the most exciting entertainers on the contemporary acoustic music scene. Greatest Find is a winner.

Eight cities have been identified as sites for the 2016 Republican National Convention. Cities had to get
through an initial bid process. Two initial criteria are being able to accommodate 50,000 guests over a week and raise $60 million. One special challenge is the RNC's timing. They want to hold the convention in June, a busy convention month for most host cities.
Denver is both helped and hurt by having just hosted the Democrats in 2008. Helped because it finally got the chance to prove it could handle the accommodations, logistics, food, security, etc. for 50,000 visitors. Also, the November Obama victory seemed to confirm the Democrats' choice. Conventions can be a vehicle of local imagery and recruitment that helps in future elections.
Denver, however, is also hurt by the recent history of the Democrats. Parties often like to move around and highlight different cities, and the recent memory of Obama in 2008 creates the likelihood of frequent references in the commentary.
Ohio, with three winning bids, looks like the frontrunner. Cleveland hosted the Republicans in 1936 and nominated Alfred Landon. They will be hoping for a better result in 2016. But, the RNC also appears interested in midsized cities and some from the West.

Things All Future Automotive Engineers Must Know
Most kids get fascinated with cars from a very young age. The speed of a car and the sound of an engine can leave a very strong impression in a young mind. Due to this reason, we tend to be fascinated by automobiles even after we group. Sometimes, this mild fascination could turn into a severe obsession. Unfortunately, not every gets to enjoy their passion for cars for a long time. The only way to ensure that you will be able to enjoy the company of automobiles for a long time is to get employed in the industry of automobile engineering. Most people are not aware of the sort of work automotive engineers engage in. In this case, keep on reading to learn the basics of this job.
Automotive engineering is quite fascinating since it deals with the development of transportation. For instance, many automotive engineers are working on creating vehicles that will be function on other plants such as mars. As an automotive engineer, you will be involved in designing models, developing plans as well as vehicle production. There is no need for you to excel at all these sectors, since you can specialize in a specific area. For instance, if you love creating new features and models, you should specialize in the designing aspect of the job.
Before you decide your specialized area of work, you need to obtain the necessary educational qualifications. Firstly, you must do your bachelor's degree in engineering. Once that is done, you could do your master's degree to focus more on your specialized area. Of course, if you don't want to study too much, you could always follow an apprenticeship program which would also provide you with training that is required for the job.
Since this industry is developing at a rapid pace, the automotive industry is growing in many countries. This means, that you will be able to get employed in any country of your choice. Thus, there is no need for you to get employed once you obtain the necessary qualifications. Remember that educational qualifications are not everything. If you want to engage in, say designing you need to have a great deal of creativity to succeed in this industry. In addition, there are certain other skills that you would only gain through experience. So, one shouldn't spend too much time on education alone. If you want to get employed in the automotive industry, you must be both educated and experienced.

Most retirees included in the survey have their homes completely paid off (60 percent). While the trend of reverse mortgages to fund retirement may be catching on somewhat, the majority of retirees (78 percent) and working American homeowners (76 percent) surveyed for the Index said they have not considered taking out a reverse mortgage or selling their home to help fund retirement.

As for retirees, the ability to afford good medical care (29 percent) was their chief concern, followed by outliving savings (24 percent), and the ability to pay for basic necessities (21 percent).

Our website uses affiliate links to a handful of carefully curated affiliate partners which we have listed below. This means that when you make purchases through links or search boxes to our partners on this site, we will receive a small commission from our partner.
As much as we love providing all the information and photos you see on Bumble Bee Mum, hosting a website like this doesn't come cheap. The commission from our affiliate partners help us to keep our site running.
It doesn't cost you anything extra to make your purchases via the links on our site versus going direct to our affiliate partners' site. But if you do make your purchases through our links, it would make a huge difference to us here at Bumble Bee Mum.
We have had dozens of requests by merchants to be their affiliate partners – which we have all rejected but only chosen to partner the few below. For one simple reason:
These are services we use ourselves.
Klook is our favourite travel platform for booking attraction tickets within Asia. (They do have partners outside of Asia too, such as the Sydney Aquarium, London Eye and Empire State Building, but their focus is in Asia.)
Many of the attraction tickets they sell are significantly discounted. Even for those that aren't, their booking platform and mobile app are so easy to use that we purchase our tickets from them anyway to save us the time of having to queue for tickets at the door.
Visit Kook Travel!>
On top of that, they give users credits for bookings and leaving reviews, and we can use these credits to get discounts on our future purchases from them.
Visit Booking.Com>
Admittedly, we have used A LOT of hotel booking platforms other than Booking.Com before. And Booking.Com may not always be the cheapest. But they are still our favourite hotel booking platform because they offer a HUGE range of accommodation – from luxury resorts to budget-friendly B&Bs. It's just so convenient to be able to search from such a wide range of accommodation in one single platform. And we often find accommodation on Booking.Com that we don't see listed on other hotel booking sites.

In the 5TJT Dating Forum of October 4, a young woman about to get engaged wanted to know how to handle a Facebook relationship she has with a man she has never met in person. Although Baila Sebrow's advice is usually spot-on, I think she missed the boat this time. Her response would have been good for a 12-year-old girl. Warning of predators and the dangers of the Internet can't be stressed enough to young children.
As far as a 20-year-old girl is concerned, Baila apparently has no idea of the many relationships that form online via social media. Times are different; the culture of relationships has taken on a whole new angle. These relationships are real. Chances of the guy she is chatting with being a predator are extremely low. Running with the idea that this guy is out there talking to hundreds of other teens and forming relationships with them, and that he will not show up for a meeting and will instead "expose" her publicly, is out of touch with reality. Relationships can form online that are real and sincere. It is a forum to share things that would be uncomfortable to say face-to-face and therefore may become very emotionally intimate.
The likely scenario if the girl takes Baila's advice and marries the boy she is currently dating will be that the Facebook guy will always be there in the background. When she gets into an argument or isn't happy with something about her husband, she will begin reaching out to her Facebook friend, telling herself that he is just a friend. The girl says they have been chatting several times daily online for three years! Does Baila think that this girl is going to suddenly stop going online or disconnect herself from all social media, entrenched as she is? Even if they somehow can manage to break all contact, when she is on the computer it is inevitable that eventually she will at least look at his Facebook page.
I can understand thinking that this relationship isn't appropriate and never should have happened, but by now it is a fait accompli. Three years is a long time to have a relationship. The best thing is for her to put her dating on hold and meet this guy no matter what, and mutually decide to end or continue. Walking into a marriage with this type of baggage is a huge mistake and unfair to all parties involved. She is entering a marriage with a three-year relationship that hasn't ended, and will never end unless she meets this guy. He will be in the back of her mind, and constant comparisons will be made. We need to understand today's culture and how very genuine and intense computer relationships can be, and that they are here to stay.
By Baila Sebrow
The media frequently features reports of people who have been seriously hurt as a result of agreeing to meet Facebook strangers. Not so long ago there was the horrific story of a 17-year-old girl–the same age as the writer of the letter when she began her online Facebook relationship with a stranger. This poor girl believed she was communicating with a 16-year-old boy. They expressed sentiments to each other. She agreed to meet him and, tragically, met her death. This purported 16-year-old "boyfriend" (but actually murderer) turned out to be a 32-year-old known predator.
Social media is not only here to stay, but will continue to advance technologically. And yes, there are many relationships of all kinds formed online. Dating sites are a typical example–one of which I am proudly an active shadchan with. Many happily married couples report having met online. Surprisingly, there have even been marriages as a result of Facebook. But the scenario of the relationship played out in the October 4 letter speaks differently.
This guy "friended" an underage girl, forming an emotional connection with her but making sure she knew nothing about him except that which he told her. He never offered to meet her, not even once in their three-year relationship. Yet when she told him of her impending engagement, it agitated him enough to spring into action, and then he immediately asked to meet with her. He became frantic that he would lose what he has with her, and in desperation employed a new tactic.
In mentoring girls through their dating stages, I know of many such incidents, and oftentimes it has been the same guy–at the same time–emotionally hounding countless girls. There are frum singles who relate stories of finding out that the guy who professes his undying love does so to many others. And he does not turn out to be some handsome young guy, but rather an older and sometimes married pervert.
After such a long period of staying hidden, these guys oftentimes do not present themselves. Rather, these phony Facebook boyfriends prefer to never reveal themselves in person to their Facebook girlfriends, particularly when they have been avoiding doing so for a number of years, as in this case. Do you know why these guys tend to remain hidden? Because they are not who they claim to be, and thus are afraid of being discovered. But those are the lucky girls–the ones who never get the chance to meet them.
In a world of fiction, a situation such as that portrayed in the letter would turn out to have a happy ending. But this is not some romantic love story where the beautiful princess will finally meet her prince, lock eyes, and run off into the sunset together. That only works in books and movies, not real life.
Does the remote possibility exist that this guy is a normal person? If the story is as it was related, he likely is not. But on the remote chance that he may be, I recommended that the person who will assist this young woman should try to find out his identity. The other reason for doing so, as I stated in my response to her, is that her curiosity will lead her to go around imagining every guy to be that of the description he gave of himself. More likely, his identity will never be discovered.
This was not a healthy three-year relationship, and it has all the markings of danger–a sad fact that the young woman needs to be aware of. Under no circumstances would I ever advise any female, even if she is 20 years old, to meet with an unknown man.
I am confident that my response has alerted her to the reality of the possible outcome, where he may publicly expose the sentiments expressed when she has poured her heart out to him. She needs to be in touch with this very reality that may threaten her future, because such things have, sadly, occurred. Keeping that likely factor in the forefront of her mind is something that should help her avoid reaching out to him if, after her marriage, she gets into a fight with her husband.
I will reiterate my earlier response, that his young woman needs to move on with her life. Yes, she needs to share her saga with the guy she is currently dating. Along with the help of her parents and anyone else who assists her through this adversity, hopefully she will be able to allow this now normal relationship she is in to flourish in a healthy way. With luck, she will become a positive statistic in the "face" of negativity.

Tammi - posted on 11/13/2009 ( 6 moms have responded )
My 4 year old daughter has a problem with constipation. She was doing really good with potty training and then her dad and I noticed her crossing her legs. We think what happened is she had a painful bowel movement and it scared her. She still goes pee in the potty really good and tries to go poop sometimes, but nothing really comes out. We have giving her Miralax, like her Doctor recommended, but it seems to give her diarhea. I was wondering if anyone knows of anything better for a 4 year old to take for constipation.

Virtual Ticket: Media Player for Rock Band Websites
Ultrastar is a music fan site management company, started by David Bowie in the late 90's. They create and manage sites for a range of pop music acts - such as The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Sting, INXS and about 9 other acts. They emailed me today to tell me about out a new product for all their bands, a media player called the Virtual Ticket. Basically it's a rich media player that enables members of the fan sites to spread video clips to non-members. It's also kind of like a lite social network system, in that it features chat and commenting throughout.
Virtual Ticket is being marketed as an "on-line tour companion" for bands/artists, because it gives extra media content and regular updates (e.g. band member video diaries or behind the scenes action) to people who buy their concert tickets. The aim is to create more of a relationship between the artist and their fans.
The Who Virtual Ticket
A good example of Virtual Ticket in action is at The Who's latest tour website, where it has been labeled Squeezebox. It features videos of The Who playing, behind the scenes videos, setlists for each show, photosets, documentary videos, news stories, interviews... and much more. There is also a chatroom and the whole site is basically a social network system for Who fans. While all of this kind of content has been available before on music band websites, the system behind it (Virtual Ticket) is a turnkey solution for bands to provide all these features to fans.
Accessibility & Usability
I did have some difficulty loading the site and logging in. I also sent it to a friend of mine in Auckland, who is one of The Who's biggest fans, and he too had trouble loading the site. My friend, Dave, is exactly the kind of person The Who wants using this site - so it's crucial Ultrastar ensures accessibility is sorted out. [Incidentally Dave wanted me to note that a it was lifetime dream of his to see The Who play in Sydney 2 years ago - similar to me seeing Lou Reed play live recently... but I digress].
Also I found there were some usability issues - e.g. when a video clip I watched finished, there didn't seem to be any way to get back to the home screen. I ended up closing the window and re-opening. Also some icons were not obvious, so I found myself clicking them just to find out what they did. I'm sure these issues are being addressed.
How Virtual Ticket was developed
According to the developers, the Virtual Ticket Media Player client was authored in ActionScript 2 and Adobe Flash 8. Here are their goals for the site:
"Among the main goals for the Virtual Ticket Media Player to achieve was the ability to store and display highly relational content and data, of varying media types, in a straight-forward, user-friendly manner. Most importantly, the varying content types had to be viewable simultaneously. That is, a user could be simultaneously watching a video, reading a news story, looking at photos, and conversing with other users in the chat room.
The navigation concept allows for this to happen, as it can display content in a linear fashion (User goes to the News section, chooses a news story, and is presented with the full story) as well as non-linear fashion (User views a tour date entry and is presented with videos, photo sets, reviews found elsewhere within the Virtual Ticket Media Player, but are grouped with the specific tour date entry because of a relational qualification). This requires that deep linking and runtime display is possible from any given view to any other piece of content within the application."
The video is streaming Flash and the reason given for this is "because of UltraStar's obligations to protect their client/artists' rights". By which they mean there is no caching and "therefore no footprint of any kind left on the user's computer." For the video techies out there, the video files are encoded with the high-quality On2 VP6 codec and are hosted on a distributed network (CDN) by NineSystems.
The chatroom software is designed to be relatively open:
"The Virtual Ticket Media Player Chat Room is written and operated under Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) standards. This means that other users will be able to use their existing messaging software (Trillian, GTalk, etc...) to connect, authenticate, and log in to the Artist's chatroom. Currently, the built-in Virtual Ticket Media Player chat interface is the only public way to enter the Artist's chatroom though support for other clients is planned."
Viral marketing
Perhaps the defining feature in Virtual Ticket is that "every piece of content" in UltraStar's Virtual Ticket Media Player has a viral marketing component. An example given was the "Send-To-Friend" capability, which allows users to send a personalized message and a link to any content entry (video, photos, etc) to a friend.
Also the Media Player aims to encourage dialogue and user-participation, with commenting and integrated chat built in. Users can leave comments on "any and all content found in the Media Player."
Currently The Who Squeezebox is the only live example of Virtual Ticket, but coming soon is a Rolling Stones Virtual Ticket. Both these examples use the same Virtual Ticket Media Player file, but have a different color scheme and content database.
As a big music fan, I love seeing this kind of web technology applied to music websites. I think once Ultrastar has addressed the technical and usability issues (and remember this is still a young product), they will find a ready and willing audience for their Virtual Tickets!

Cinia has been so gracious as to let me co-own her blog! I will begin my blogging career by posting a few of my favorite quotes:
"When did it ever happen that a man had confidence in God and was lost?"
~St. Alphonsus Liguori
"Melancholy is the poison of devotion. When one is in tribualtion, it is necessary to become more happy and more joyful because on is nearer to God."
~St. Clare of Assisi
"You must accept your cross; if you carry it courageously it will carry you to Heaven.
God commands you to pray, but he forbids you to worry."
~St. Jean Marie Vianney
"Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine."
~St. Thomas Aquinas
"Do something good for someone you like least, today!"
~St. Anthony of Padua

Just because it is bothering me, I'm going to make the wording gramatically correct so now it reads, "2 astute observations"
