Dunn Drywall 3 ReviewsExcellent service and quality!
I chose Dunn drywall after reading all the good reviews about them. Robert and Joe repaired multiple openings in my plaster ceiling and drywall, which have a coarse knockdown texture. They were delightful to work with, showed up on time, and finished the work within the scheduled time frame. They protected all my furniture and carpet and cleaned up everything. Their price is compatible with another licensed contractor. I could hardly tell that there had been repairs. I am sure it will even look better after following Robert's painting tips. I highly recommend them.
Acoustics & Building Interiors 1 ReviewsGreat Company
Very prompt and professional, quality of work is impeccable! Great Company, excellent service!
RAY PLASTERING 2 ReviewsFabulous to deal with
I wish all companies were like Peter Ray Plaster. I found them to be professional, courteous, competent. They arrived on time, worked hard, cleaned up after themselves, went beyond the norm in terms of service. I can't speak highly enough of these guys!
J & L Insulation Inc 2 ReviewsGreat Service
I just had my attic insulated. I had three different company's give me estimates. I was shocked to find out that a women came to give me the estimate. She talked to me like a person. Not like I was dumb and I didn't feel pressure like a sales person can make you feel. When the day came to install the insulation, I was very impressed with the two men that did the work. They were very professional. When I asked questions they were there to answer them. They left my house as clean as when they came. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to work with a professional family run company.

This is the evening-word tradition, and it is exquisite in beauty. It is the last thing Jedidiah says to me every night—the last human interaction I have at all, in fact, before 'tis off to rest and repose for me.
It all began several months ago. I had remarked to Naomi, Hannah, and Jedidiah that it would be so nice to conclude the day with something beautiful or edifying or even simply wholesome. Too often, we have a stress sandwich in our lives—a thick slice of turmoil, a thin and watered-down spreading of respite, followed by another coarse and grainy slice of strife–when we should have a joy sandwich, in which the Bread of Life is primary and frustration is not the focus. I proposed the "last wholesome word" idea in order to minimize some of that emotional tumult. Complete all that we need to do, then read and sing, then pray, then take ourselves off to bed with one single thought in mind. We all agreed to do it, but Jedidiah is the only one who has consistently remembered. Even after I long would have forgotten this part of our evening routine, Jedidiah continues with our word-recitation. Our WORD recitation?
And so it is every night around 11:00 PM: "David". "Tabernacle". "Seeking". "River". "Fruit". "Solomon". Once, the word was something like "lampstand". In three seconds and two syllables or less, we've discussed everything from Levitical offerings and the glory of our risen Lord as found in Revelation to Jesus' interactions with those who loved Him. Often, the word is abstract and I really have to ponder it before understanding the reference. Other times, the word has multiple meanings. When Jedidiah said "birds", he could have been referring to the specific references to the seven pairs of birds brought onto the ark, to the many Scriptures about doves, or to the verse that proclaims that we shall mount up with wings like eagles. Jedidiah seldom explains the words he has chosen; they are for me to internalize—"show, don't tell", you know.
Sometimes, I attempt to exchange words with Jedidiah—he says "tablet", and I am very tempted to say "covering" or "cheribum". But then, just as I begin to hand him the word I have spent all night thinking of, something in his tone or in the very majesty of the word he has chosen stops me—stuns me into awed silence at the beauty of our holy, holy God. So, usually, the words go only one way.
I wonder if he knows, Jedidiah, the man whom the Lord loves. I wonder if he knows that I cherish the word-a-day tradition and the principle behind it. He has read Deuteronomy—numerous times, I'm sure—but does he remember what is written in chapter six, verses seven through nine: "[you] shall talk of [God's commandments] when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. And you shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates"? Does he remember, and does he know how intensely meaningful the tradition is to me?
I have a word for him. It is morning as I write this, not evening. Jedidiah has not yet given me his treasure of a word, so I cannot be so swept away by God's awesomeness as to forget my meagre little phrase. Writing it is not part of this tradition—too formal for something generally spontaneous. And yet, despite all of this, I have a word—nay, perhaps several words–for Jedidiah today…
Grammatical Aside: You don't get an addendum today—just a critique of our language! I wrote of "three seconds … or less". Shouldn't that more accurately be "fewer"—"three seconds or fewer"—since "seconds", unlike "sand" or "water" or even "time", can be tangibly counted? Yes, "three seconds and two syllables or FEWER".

Here in Seattle I'm part of a growing community of parents who have benefitted from the teachings of a Canadian developmental psychologist named Gordon Neufeld. His common-sense approach to parenting is steeped in research into traditional societies and his own years of hands-on work with at-risk youths. I've done many hours of training and it's completely transformed the way I work with my children.
We now have our own local organization and, in September, they're putting on their first conference, Helping Children Flourish. Dr. Neufeld will be there in person, along with much of the Neufeld Institute faculty. It's an incredible (and rare) opportunity to learn in person from these talented and insightful speakers, and I hope you'll join me there!

Hemet EKG Interpretation Medical Group, Inc. is a group of physicians who read EKGs at Hemet Valley Medical Center, in Hemet, California.
If you received a bill from us, it was because you were in the hospital, and while you were there, an EKG was ordered by your attending (or primary care) physician. The order was sent to the Cardiology office, and a technician came to you with a small machine on a cart.
(S)he hooked the machine up to you with a cable of wires, then ran the machine for less than a minute, then removed the wires. The EKG was then taken to the Cardiology office, where one of our physicians read it.
The statement you received from us is a bill for the reading of the EKG. The charges for the technician and hospital services are included in the bill you received from the hospital.
If you have insurance, please send us a copy of the front and back of your card, or cards if you have both a primary and secondary insurance policy. We will bill your insurance(s).
If not, that bill is a bill for services, and is due upon receipt.
It's a good idea to make copies of your insurance cards after you go to the hospital. That way, all you have to do when bills arrive is return the stub of the bill with a copy of your insurance card(s).
You can expect many bills for a single stay in the hospital. The reason for this is that back in 1984, the government mandated that all providers bill individually for services.
If you wish to go somewhere in person and pay your bill, you may go to the accounting offices of Ed Cicchillo & Associates. They will be able to take your payment there. Please bring a check or exact change.

Lord Mancroft: I, too, have some concerns around the amendments. I throw my mind back to the very long hours that we spent talking about the then Countryside and Rights of Way Bill. In a whole tranche of that Bill, the obligations of landowners to welcome peopletourists, walkers, whoeveron to their land were discussed. We also debated the difficulties that landowners might face with that from damage, people coming near their houses at night and so on.
In those debates, the wicked landowner was trying to stop people coming on their land. Now we have another piece of legislation where the equally wicked landowner has to stop a different lot of people coming on to his land. He has to let some on and keep some off. That puts two extraordinary and completely different new areas of responsibility on to landowners in a
The noble Baroness talked about the problems of illegal coursingpoaching, as she quite rightly called it. When landowners ask for help from the police and authorities, it is often not forthcoming. That is why there is so much of that type of poaching. There are other similar issues. Travellers are not such a bad problem now, but they certainly were a few years back, in terms of coming on to people's land and possibly committing crimes. Whether they were or not, the landowner had no ability to know what they were up to or even to remove them. He certainly did not welcome them.
I wonder how landowners will respond to this new responsibility, as it is very difficult. Let us compare the Bill to the CROW Act, as it now is. We talked so much on that about access and tourism, and how marvellous it was to welcome people on to places such as Exmoor, which the noble Baroness mentioned, the North Yorkshire moors and all the other beautiful parts of England to which people want to come. Yet here we have an activity for which landowners have welcomed people on to their land for goodness knows how long, on their feet or horses, or however they wanted to come. They were sometimes not quite so welcome on their quad-bikes and in their four-wheel drives, but those difficulties occur.
Putting aside whatever one may think about hunting from the welfare point of view, it is the ultimate access to the countryside. One reason why people enjoy hunting is that they get to see parts of the country that they would not otherwise. With one hand we are encouraging that, but with another, rather illogical hand we are discouraging it. It seems an odd thing to do.
I, too, want to turn to what was said by the noble Lord, Lord Graham of Edmonton, because the matter is serious. There is no doubt that occasionally people behave badly. Sometimes they might be hunting people; sometimes they might be walkers; sometimes they might be football fans. During the past few years, we have constantly seen football fans, not only in this country but abroad, behaving appallingly. I am not sure that that is a reason to ban football. Rather, it is a reason to see whether we can improve the behaviour.
I am a member of the hunting community and I have been all my life. I cannot think of another community which has recognised that it had a reputation, whether ill or well deserved, for arrogance and bad behaviour. That was one of the perceptions and, according to the noble Lord, Lord Graham, it still is. That is most sad, but regardless of what anyone may think about hunting, it is not bad behaviour.
I have never come across a community which has made a greater effort to be seen to be welcoming and well mannered. Only the other day my wife said, "It's a frightful nuisance opening the gate for the hunt because every single personperhaps 100 peoplesays good morning and thank you and they take their
I am certain that that does not happen all the time and occasionally people say things they should not say and do things they should not do, but a huge effort has been made by this community. As the noble Baroness said, the independent supervisory authority for hunting, which has been in operation for several years, has a sophisticated complaints procedure.
At Second Reading, the noble Lord, Lord Graham, read out a list of hunts he had been told behaved badly. I felt like writing to him, but then I thought, "What's the point?". I read his speech carefully because I wanted to check up on it and I can inform him that three of the hunts he listed do not exist and never have, so they probably did not behave badly. However, I know two of the hunts very well because I was Master of one and I now hunt with the other. I went to considerable trouble to telephone those responsible in order to discover whether there had been complaints and problems and whether they had trespassed. It is true that hunts do occasionally trespassfortunately, now rarely. I took the trouble to telephone and ask, "Have you been anywhere you shouldn't have been?". Neither could think of anything they had done. However, if the noble Lord can find more details of the behaviour he mentioned, it should be and will be investigated.
Lord Graham of Edmonton: I will certainly let the noble Lord be privy to the correspondence on which I made my remarks. If people have misused the name of dead hunts, that should be seriously investigated. If I have been misled, I have misled the House on the basis of that information. I wonder how many equally honest professions will be made during the course of this debate.
Lord Mancroft: I do not know the answer to that, but if the noble Lord will let me know I will undertake to do my best. I do not for one moment suggest that he had any intention of misleading the House. Of course he did not. However, the important point is that these things happen and people do make allegations and sweeping statements. Sweeping statements have poisoned the debate and made it more difficult. The reality is that most of the issues the noble Lord raised are being addressed and will continue to be addressed, but they are not in themselves bases on which to use the criminal law to inflict one's views and ideas on people who are doing their best to behave in the best way they can every day in their activity.
But that was not the central point of these amendments: it was to put an added responsibility on to landowners. I am uncomfortable with that. I do not know whether the same reaction applies to other crimes, but one gets the impression that there is something so particularly awful about hunting that extra penalties and measures must be taken beyond any which exists in other laws in order to restrict this ghastly and terrible behaviour. One sits through
Lord Pearson of Rannoch: As a humble Back-Bencher, I must say that I was fascinated by the remarks of the noble Lord, Lord Graham of Edmonton. I do not know whether it is in order in Committee to put a question to him or whether I should put it to his noble friend the Minister to reply on behalf of his noble friend or, indeed, on behalf of the Government.
It struck me that the noble Lord, Lord Graham of Edmonton, gave a reasonably classic example of the saucepan calling the kettle smutty. We had wonderful images of high-handed huntsmen, huntspersons or huntspeople, or whatever one is supposed to call them nowadays, riding on their shining steeds with top hats and shiny boots "bullying lesser people"I believe those were his words. Of course, that sort of behaviour is unacceptable, as other noble Lords have said.
Speaking as someone who was fortunate enough to be able to give up riding on his ninth birthday and who has never had the misfortune to hunt, one agrees with the thrust of the amendment. However, does the noble Lord agree that, as a former formidable Chief Whip, he, if anyone in your Lordships' House, has been guilty of all the behaviour of which he accuses these hapless huntsmen, who, we are now assured by my noble friend and his noble friend Lady Mallalieu, no longer exist? In those circumstances, I hope that the saucepan will no longer call the kettle smutty and that the noble Lord might be prepared to withdraw his remarks.
Lord Whitty: This has been a rather wider-ranging debate on the clause than I had anticipated. I was going to comment on it fairly briefly, but I believe that your Lordships need to pause to think slightly. Before the dinner break, I momentarily had the impression that noble Lords were genuine in asking the House to adopt amendments which effectively would ask the Commons to reconsider the position in relation to the Alun Michael Bill
Noble Lords: The original Bill.
Lord Whitty: The original Bill. But almost everything that has been said in this debate makes it clear that noble Lords who supported some of those amendments are against creating any offence at all in this area.
Yet the amendment carried before the dinner break in relation to the registration of hunting naturally leads to the fact that there will be some non-registered hunting and some non-exempt huntingthat is, there will be illegal hunting. If there is a possibility that illegal hunting will take place, it is surely right that those who aid and abet it should be guilty of a criminal offence.
The noble Lord, Lord Renton, suggested that we should rely on the general criminal law here. But he will know, as will other noble Lords, that many statutes make it an explicit offence knowingly to abet or commit illegal activities. That is all that this clause does. It does so in the sense of an explicit permission by a landowner knowingly to allow people to engage in illegal activity on his land. When I use the word "landowner", that is not a class attack on landowners, as the noble Lord, Lord Mancroft, implied; it would be whoever was in a position to give authority to use the land. It might be the manager or someone acting on behalf of a charity or a trustee or it might be common land. We would not necessarily be getting at a land-owning aristocrat here, so let us get that out of the way. But it would be someone who had knowingly and expressly given permission for someone to engage in illegal activity. That is a legitimate area for statute and one that should reasonably be in the Bill.

Sometimes friendly banter among Evening Sun reporters lends itself to a discussion we call Point/Counterpoint. In this forum, staff members battle wits and ideas on a variety of subjects, and today, Evening Sun Staff Writer, Michael McGuire, and Evening Sun Sports Editor, Patrick Newell, discuss Michelle Wies long-range ambitions. Wies grand design is to transcend golfs long-standing traditions and play on the PGA Tour. Is this in the best interests of golf and more succinctly, womens golf?
PN: Michelle Wie is probably the best thing that has happened to womens golf and maybe the entire sport since Tiger Woods turned pro in 1996. Still, she hasnt proven a thing yet outside of the fact she can place in the top three of big womens tournaments. PGA Tour events, those ones that probably need an attendance boost, have granted her special exemptions to their events. She has missed the cut every time. This is not a chauvinistic assessment, but she simply cannot compete on a four-round basis with the men. How about her cashing a few winners checks on the LPGA first?
MM: Im not sure if Michelle Wie is the best thing to happen to golf since Tiger but I am a chauvinist and I say let her play. She hasnt made a PGA cut in a number of sponsor-exempted invites, but she consistently finishes higher than a good number of card- holding professional males. She doesnt have the LPGA track record of Annika Sorenstam, Kari Webb or Se Ri Pak, but her talent at her age has given Michelle a cash advance on a number of paydays most golf minds are sure shell earn in the near future.

The newly-built Gangneung KTX bullet train line (officially called the Gyeonggang Line) links Incheon Airport to the port city of Gangneung, crossing the north of the country from coast to coast and connecting Seoul to the Winter Olympic venues in Pyeongchang. The line started service in December 2017; you can see the full schedule here (scroll down to see the schedule during the Olympics & Paralympics), and you can search & book online here
Construction of the line formed a key part of the Pyeongchang 2018 bid, shortening the Seoul – Pyeonchang travel time from 2.5 hours on the highway to just an hour by train. The line was actually planned regardless of the Olympics, but the awarding of the Games to Korea provided the impetus to finally get it built; the Gangneung KTX is therefore arguably the main legacy of Pyeongchang 2018.
The new line runs from the city of Wonju across to Gangneung; trains will run along existing tracks from Incheon & Seoul to Wonju, and then onto the new tracks from there.
The stations on the new line are:
Manjong (in Wonju)
The stops in Seoul – Incheon are Incheon Airport, Geomam, Seoul Station, Cheongnyangni, and Sangbong (Incheon Airport & Geomam are only included during the Olympic period). During the Olympics 35 trains per day will originate from Seoul Station, Cheongnyangni, or Sangbong; Cheongnyangni (in the northeast of the city) has the highest frequency of service. Furthermore, 16 trains per day will originate from Incheon Airport and stop at Geomam plus Seoul Station and/or Cheongnyangni on the way through to Jinbu and Gangneung.
There's an accurate map here (and that's a cool site if you're interested in Korea and a bit of an infrastructure geek!). The other maps on this page are approximate (I knocked them up on Google Maps):
This line will of course be of great benefit to the population in the region, but also game-changing for us skiers and boarders wanting to get to Korea's best ski resorts from Seoul – travel times will be significantly reduced for a number of Gangwon-do resorts, including but not limited to the Olympic host resorts, as follows (with closest station in brackets):
1. Oak Valley (Manjong Station)
2. Welli Hilli Park (Dunnae Station)
3. Phoenix Park (Pyeongchang Station)
4. Jeongseon Alpine Centre (Jinbu Station)
5. Yongpyong & Alpensia (Jinbu Station)
6. High1 (via Gangneung, but still requiring a highway bus from there)
Click on each resort name for its Snow Guide Korea review, with full access details including how the journey is expected to work using the Gangneung KTX.
The journey time from Seoul Station to Gangneung is just under 2 hours, for a fare of 27,600 won ($30 US); Cheongnyangni to Pyeongchang is just over an hour.
Tickets can be booked up to 30 days in advance, and you can do this on the Korail website.
If you're trying to work out your Pyeongchang 2018 transportation & accommodation options, see here for more details (or here for the Paralympics)

Jax Build
Purchase Order
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This is a build for Jax that has kept me alive against very coordinated teams.
Depending on what you're up against, you may not need the frozen mallet at all. More than likely, you will be just finishing your bloodrazor by the end of the game. Once you finish it; however, you will be a force to be reconed with.
The stats for this build are a little off. For some reason, it is not adding the 18% dodge Jax recieves from his 5th-level passive. It is also not showing the 2% he recieves from his masteries. So his actual dodge chance after you get your 2nd Phantom dancer is more like 83-85% than 63. That alone makes you virtually unkillable by any melee. If you're up agaist a team of strong casters, you can still dodge auto-attacks from casters to activate your stun, and the attack speed and crit from the 2nd Phantom dancer are nice to have anyway.
The last 2 items of any build are always up in the air. If you're up against a strong team of casters, I would reccomend getting Wit's End after your Bloodrazor. The magic resist and Mana removal will help you a lot considering your high attack speed. Your last item then would probably be Force of Nature. MAgic Resist, Health Regen, and even more movement speed to chase/escape your enemies.
If you're up against a lot of tanks, I reccomend getting Bloodrazor before your 2nd Phantom Dancer, and then Black Cleaver before the Frozen Mallet. If you can keep the tanks pinned down mid-game, you should have no trouble obliterating them at the end. IF they are tanks that build armor instead of just health, I would get Black Cleaver before the 2nd Phantom Dancer but AFTER the Bloodrazor.
Summoner Spells have been chosen for this reason: Ignite is my favortie spell because I don't have to chase people as far. I didn't bother to get "Heal" because if you play it safe until mid/late game you wont ever need it. Exhaust is pointless because you have leap strike AND 2 phantom dancers to catch people with. If you 3v3 with this build swap Teleport out for Ghost.
Dodge Chance: 12% boots, 18% Passive, 40% Phantom Dancer x2, 11.25% runes, 2% Masteries
93.25% Dodge after your 2nd Phantom Dancer. Every time you dodge you go faster; this includes dodging Minion attacks. With the extra 30% move speed from the Phantom Dancers... good luck escaping. =)

Hi Brian,
I ran into these nasty frame relay mappings during an initial lab set-up and was wondering why they are there, (even with inverse-arp disabled), and what they are actually doing. I was able to remove them only after writing my configuration to memory, and then performing a reload of the router.Router(config-if)#do show frame map Serial0/0 (up): ip 0.0.0.0 dlci 113(0x71,0x1C10) broadcast, CISCO, status defined, inactive Serial0/0 (up): ip 0.0.0.0 dlci 105(0x69,0x1890) broadcast, CISCO, status defined, active Serial0/0 (up): ip 0.0.0.0 dlci 104(0x68,0x1880) broadcast, CISCO, status defined, active Serial0/0 (up): ip 0.0.0.0 dlci 103(0x67,0x1870) broadcast, CISCO, status defined, active
Hi Josh,
This is actually an error relating to AutoInstall over Frame Relay. When the router boots up and does not have a configuration file saved in NVRAM, it attempts to run autoinstall to automatically find an IP address and download a config. The first thing the router does is to detect the encapsulation on its WAN interfaces, which in this case is Frame Relay. Once the router finds that it's running Frame Relay, it attempts to send a config request via TFTP. In order to do this it needs an IP address, so it sends a BOOTP request out all DLCIs. Since the router doesn't know what the unicast IP addresses are on the other ends of the circuits, it creates IPv4 mappings to 0.0.0.0 for all circuits and includes the "broadcast" keyword on them. This allows the router to encapsulate the BOOTP request out all DLCIs.
If you haven't actually configured IP helper-address or a BOOTP server, the operation will fail. The result of this that we see is that when Frame Relay is re-enabled on the interfaces the mappings to 0.0.0.0 reappear. In some versions of IOS this can be fixed by removing Frame Relay and re-applying it, for example:
router#config t router(config)#interface s0/0 router(config-if)#encapsulation ppp router(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay router(config-if)#end router#
In most versions however this does not work. Therefore the way to fix this is just to have the router not do autoinstall on bootup. Since the router does autoinstall because it doesn't have a config saved in memory, the only way to 100% fix it is to save your config to NVRAM (wr m), and to reload.

Arizona faces higher risks of crack cocaine and other drug importation due to its close position to the southern international border. For this reason, law makers and officials impose particularly harsh laws and penalties on those charged and convicted with a wide array of crack cocaine offenses throughout the state. Phoenix Crack Cocaine Possession Attorney Joshua S. Davidson offers legal representation throughout Glendale, Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe and Phoenix to clients facing crack cocaine charges of possession, sales, trafficking, importation, manufacturing and transportation. Because it is classified as a narcotic drug under Arizona law, the charges filed by the prosecution in a crack cocaine or cocaine base offense may include possession of a narcotic drug, sale of a narcotic drug, transportation of a narcotic drug and possession for sale of a narcotic drug.
Crack cocaine is readily available in the larger metropolitan area of Phoenix due to the many organizations involved in crack cocaine trafficking who operate in that area. Crack cocaine or "crack" as it is called on the street, is a solid, smokable form of cocaine that is made during a process used to convert powder cocaine into freebase cocaine. Crack cocaine is a more potent form of cocaine and is stronger and more addictive than the powder form.
Being charged with crack cocaine offenses are extremely serious in Arizona and it carries a federal and state mandatory minimum sentences, in some cases. There has been much controversy surrounding this law, which makes it far worse to be convicted of charges related to crack cocaine than regular cocaine. The controversy lies in the fact that both drugs contain the same exact active ingredient and many say the sentencing disparity is unfair.
Whatever cocaine charges you are facing, it is of the utmost importance that you hire a Phoenix drug defense lawyer who will fight to prevent the harsh penalties that result from a crack cocaine conviction. Even if it is your first offense in Phoenix, you could face a mandatory prison sentence, not to mention hefty fines and a felony on your record. If you or a loved one has been charged with a narcotic drug offense in Phoenix, you should immediately seek the help of an attorney.
A former drug crime prosecutor, Attorney Joshua S. Davidson was responsible for handling cases involving crack cocaine, and this experience has made him a better drug crime defense lawyer. Because he can see all angles to a case, he prepares effective defenses to drug charges and accusations and knows how to defend against the prosecutorial methods commonly used by the State. Do not leave your crack cocaine case in the hands of an inexperienced attorney; call the Phoenix Law Offices of Joshua S. Davidson immediately to seek legal representation and have an aggressive drug lawyer protecting your rights.
If you or someone you know has been has been charged with a crack cocaine offense and you need the help of a qualified lawyer, contact Phoenix Drug Crime Defense Attorney Joshua S. Davidson today!

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES in CRIMINAL & JUVENILE JUSTICE
Wisconsin Innocence Project
The Wisconsin Innocence Project from time to time uses volunteers to assist staff and students with various tasks. Tasks vary depending on the ever changing needs of the organization but would largely consist of administrative/clerical support and may sometimes include supporting law students on cases. Interested persons should send inquiries to:
Frank J. Remington Center
University of Wisconsin Law School

Madison WI 53706
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com or Phone: 608-262-1002.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Circles of Support
The Circles of Support Project recruits adults from the community to serve on volunteer teams of 4-5 people that encircle an adult formerly incarcerated in jail or prison and who meets certain criteria. MUM trains, matches, and coordinates these "Circles of Support," made up of four or five volunteers who meet regularly with a newly released former prisoner, for at least six months. Circle work might include explaining the bus system, sharing ideas for jobs, or making referrals for housing. But mostly it is listening to the new neighbor and reducing isolation, while increasing accountability. Former prisoners are called Core Team members (CTM). Volunteers are called Circle members. Circle members also benefit by learning about poverty, racism and the criminal justice system.
Understand that as a Circle of Support volunteer you are part of a much-needed and important endeavor. Given the fact that most people who go to prison are eventually released, it is important that communities be prepared to actively participate in efforts to assist returnees in becoming our Neighbors again. Scott (not his real name) was in prison for over six years. Madison-area Urban Ministry (MUM) matched Scott to a Circle of Support within a West-side congregation. The Circle of volunteers met with him regularly. When he got discouraged with employment, job layoffs, and even a stint of homelessness, this Circle encouraged him, gave him ideas, and helped him to stay focused. Now it's been two years of success for Scott. He has completed a circle, but not the vicious circle of recidivism.
Instead Scott has joined a Circle of Support himself to "be there" for someone else who was just released. The circle is completing itself. Scott is part of a circle of caring support for another. In communities with similar Circles, recidivism among participating former prisoners has reduced from 50% to 15%. As this is a Restorative Justice initiative, three perspectives are included- those of the community as a whole, those of the victims and those of the former prisoners.
for a circle of support: Recently Released Prisoners who may participate
in this program and become a Core Team Member (CTM) must:
• be a formerly incarcerated person who requests participation in a Circle
• have been incarcerated at least two years, and
• not been convicted of a serious sex crime or a recent pattern of violent offenses.
Volunteer Circle Members Requirements:
• Must be at least 18 years of age.
• Be screened and trained by MUM through its Circles of Support program;
• Be willing to make at least a 6 month commitment to have at least a monthly meeting with the circle
• Be willing and able to become familiar with and remain nonjudgmental about the prisoner and their families.
If you are interested in becoming a Circle of Support Volunteer please email Circle of Support Coordinator Barbara McKinney.
MENTORING CONNECTIONS Mentoring Connections (MC) provides mentoring services to children who have a parent incarcerated in prison. Madison-area Urban Ministry will recruit, train and guide 70 volunteer mentors in collaboration with faith-based and community-based organizations. A three-year grant from the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services (DHHS) assists. There are over 1,600 Dane County children who have a parent in prison. Children of incarcerated parents face health, isolation, attachment and bonding issues. They may also be at risk for going to prison themselves. Seventy percent of incarcerated women are mothers of dependent children. There are disproportionate numbers of people of color in Wisconsin's prisons.
The three primary partners are: Madison-area Urban Ministry (MUM),
Family Connections of Wisconsin (FC) and Big Brothers, Big Sisters
of Dane County (BBBS). They are joined by many other local organizations,
including Dane County Human Services, Circuit Court Judges, Urban
League of Greater Madison, state and local government agencies, and
the University of Wisconsin-Madison. These groups will provide additional
training, consultation, referral, and evaluation.
Children eligible to receive a mentor:
- Live in Dane County and are between 4 and 15 years of age
- Have a parent who is presently incarcerated in a federal or state prison (or who has been sentenced to a state or federal prison but is in jail awaiting transfer to the prison)
- Desire one-to-one contact with a mentor at least one hour weekly for at least one year.
- Have written consent from their parents/guardians
Volunteer Mentors:
- Must be at least 18 years of age;
- Be screened and trained to be a Mentor;
- Make a one year commitment to have one-to-one contact at least one hour weekly;
- Participate in some of the monthly group activities with their mentee;
- Be familiar with and nonjudgmental about the eligible children or their families; and
- In appropriate cases, accompany their mentee to visit his or her mother in prison
Contact MUM at the numbers or address below to get a mentor or to make a referral!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fountain of Youth Tours
For thousands of years, people have journeyed the earth in search of a so called "Fountain of Youth," hoping that a single sip from the spring will restore them to full health and vitality. While you are in St. Augustine, consider your quest complete.
According to legend, the famous Spanish conquistador Ponce de Leon came to Florida in the 16th century in search of this miraculous fountain. He claimed the land for the Spanish crown, and soon afterward, another explorer arrived and founded St. Augustine- the oldest continuously occupied European settlement within the continental United States. It wasn't until 1901 that an enterprising woman bought an estate in St. Augustine and began to charge people to drink from the fountain located on the property. She claimed that it was Ponce de Leon's fountain of youth, and patrons immediately began flocking to the site. Whether or not you believe in the legend, it can't hurt to to see what happens if you take a sip from the fountain today!
Practical Info
The Fountain of Youth is located right in downtown St. Augustine.

I hate to admit it, but Twitter is saturated with bots, spammers and every single kind of business from here to Tokyo. With that said, I still love it. The people make it all worth it.
Twitter has been great because it adds a value to my life I just can't get from other services. Where else can you just poof have a conversation with a major CEO, or managing editor, or a long-revered photojournalist? Professionally it's been great. Heck, I even landed my job at the Center for Sustainable Journalism on Twitter.
But, I'll admit, with all the junk floating around I find it laborious to sign on, check someone's feed and do a through evaluation of their personality traits every time I get a "new follower" update in my inbox.
Honestly, I've gotten to the point that I can tell pretty much everything I need to know about you from the graphic in my e-mail.
My primary use of Twitter is for professional development and staying connected with others in my field. I have a few friends, but I'm just not the 'let's live tweet the season premiere of XYZ' kind of guy.
With that said, the little graphic that ends up in my e-mail is basically your cover letter. You are tasked with convincing me (and everyone/anyone else) that you're actually worth following. Here's how to do it:
- Make the link between your profile name and you obvious.
Sorry FernGuyz87, but after a while I WILL forget your name was George from that conversation we had 10 months ago. Make the connection between who you are and/or what you do with your name. If you get a good, widely-known name that may be worth keeping (I'm facebook.com/multimediajournalist, for example), but otherwise go with your real name or an easy to understand – and short – abbreviation. Not doing this can show a lack of attention to detail.
- Tell me what you do and offer some insight into your personality or life, quickly.
Bio box time. Give your title, or perspective title, who you are, and (indirectly) why you'd be interesting to follow. The point, I think, is to have fun with it a bit. Twitter is more informal to platforms like LinkedIn, allowing users to have normal, day-to-day type communications and get to know some interesting people that may not have otherwise met.
- Are you a follower or leader?
I hate to sound like a marketer, but your ratio of the number of people you follow compared to the number of people who follow you does matter a bit. Don't go follow 800 people when only 60 people follow you. It says much more if you have 60 followers and only follow 20 people. Big numbers aren't the most important things.
- You've only sent four tweets… ever?!
Seriously? You've only sent four tweets? Well, if you are a real person, you should use it more. Honestly, following you probably wouldn't add any value to my day. The main thing is, though, that is a quick indicator that you're looking at a junk, spam or bot account. If you're new to the game play around and talk to some random people before you try and get a follow back from your idol. You may only get one shot. On that note, the best way to get followers is to, well, tweet a lot. Go figure.
- How many mutual friends do we have?
If you do everything else right then I don't put much weight on our mutual friends. Twitter is great for meeting new people. But if I'm still a little weary I'll check this box out. Obviously, the more friends we mutually follow (and that follow each of us) shows you're a cool cat and we can be friends.
So, that's my advice for optimizing you profile to get more follow-backs. What's yours? Oh, if you want feel free to follow me on Twitter

Shanghai students have widened their lead in the latest global comparison of the educational skills of 15-year-olds. Asian city-states dominate the rankings, released today, while U.S. students continue to lag behind their counterparts in the industrial world.
Every 3 years, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) measures how well students can apply what they've learned in reading, mathematics, and science to practical problems. And the 2012 results are similar to 2009 and earlier versions. Of 65 participants, which include both countries and smaller geographic units such as provinces and states, Shanghai once again leads the way in all three subjects, while Singapore and Hong Kong hold down the next two spots in math and science. (China did not participate as a country, and PISA allowed several U.S. states to compare their students to the rest of the world.) Two other traditional powerhouses, Korea and Japan, are the only large nations who made it into the top 10, and both countries made significant progress in science. (Click here to see a summary table of results.)
The United States ranks 26th in math and 21st in science out of the 34 countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which conducts the assessment. In addition to compiling head-to-head rankings, OECD collects data on educational policies and practices around the world, with topics ranging from how countries educate their poorest students to parental attitudes toward the importance of an education.
These results were embargoed, so outside groups have not had a chance to review and comment on them. But you can click on ScienceInsider's comment box below to say what you think they mean.

Alpine iDA-X305SAntuan Goodwin takes a first at the Alpine iDA-X305S at CES 2010 in Las Vegas.
[ Music ] ^M00:00:03 >> Antuan Goodwin: What's up everybody? This is Antuan Goodwin at CNET, and we're in Alpine's booth at CES 2010 and we're checking out the iDA-X305S. Now, what the X305S is they've taken their mech-free receiver that doesn't actually have a CD drive, and they've added a really cool feature. And that's the ability to interface with the Pandora iPhone app. And the way that works is you connect your iPhone to the device via the USB port and you download a special version of the Pandora app. The head unit will then be able to connect to the Pandora app and then utilize your iPhone's 3G connection to stream music off of the Internet over the IP. The advantage to doing it this way as opposed to connecting an axillary cable or streaming Bluetooth is that the iDA-X305 will then give you the ability to control the app from your dashboard without having to fool around with an iPhone bouncing around in your cabin. It gives you all of the features that you would normally get through the Pandora app including the ability to search your stations right here. You can also skip tracks. Pandora will allow you to go forward a track every now and then. The X305 will allow you to utilize the thumbs up and thumbs down feature of Pandora to fine tune your station so that it sounds the way that you want and plays the songs that you like. When you hear a song that you like just give it a thumbs up. If you don't like the song, give it a thumbs down. You won't hear it again. Another cool feature that the X305S offers through Pandora is the ability to bookmark a song for later retrieval. If you hear a song you like, just hit the bookmark button, and you can bookmark the song or artist. The next time you connect your iPod to your computer you'll get a playlist and you'll be able to download that song off of iTunes to listen to whenever you want. I'm Antuan Goodwin, and we've been taking a look at the Alpine iDA-X305S at CES 2010.

Domestic violence, just like other forms of crime these days, is no longer confined to urban ghettos. If it ever was.
The recognition is slowly dawning that this is a problem in the suburbs, tiny hamlets and rural enclaves all over America.
Domestic violence, just like other forms of crime these days, is no longer confined to urban ghettos. If it ever was.
The recognition is slowly dawning that this is a problem in the suburbs, tiny hamlets and rural enclaves all over America.
In McHenry County, a countywide organization known as the McHenry County Domestic Violence Advisory Council is working to make the public aware of this crime that has remained behind closed doors for so long.
And one of the first communities to jump on the bandwagon and organize a local satellite awareness group popped up in tiny Marengo.
Robert Tirk, Marengo Park District director and Marengo Township trustee, will head up the local committee, which is considering calling itself Project Safe Home.
"It's not off the ground yet, but Lou Ness from Turning Point," a help line for victims of domestic abuse based in Woodstock, "is holding our hand and helping to give us a mission," Tirk said.
The goal of Tirk's group, which does not actually deal with victims one-on-one, is "to create an awareness so that victims feel it is OK to step forward and understand that help is available," he said.
When it comes to actually dealing with abused children or battered wives, Tirk said his group defers to Turning Point, which has experience in getting the right kind of help and temporary shelter.
His Marengo group attracted about 25 people to its first meeting and plans to hold a training session for those likely to run into the victims of such violence and who, he said, "need to understand"--police, lawyers, ministers, social workers, school teachers and even Park District employees.
We wondered how the Park District would play a role in the typical domestic violence scenario. Tirk admitted that the image of a family bringing its children to the park for a day of fun is usually seen in a happier light.
"But we have a preschool program, and we have a latchkey program, and these children could be victims of abuse, and our people need to be able to identify that and act properly," he said.
The good news: "There is more concern than I thought was out there," added Tirk.
Update: After so many months of trials and tribulations, things finally seem to be going well for Pets in Need, the once-beleaguered animal shelter run by Pat Klimo near Ringwood--especially now that the trial part is over.
Klimo and her husband, Rudy, managed to win their court fight against all odds to keep their animals at home until they can raise enough money to built a more traditional shelter. They also got back their license to operate a shelter from the Illinois Department of Agriculture.
The department had refused to renew the license when it expired last summer while the Klimos were still under a court order to vacate the property. Pat Klimo said an inspector called one night and came the next morning and pronounced the place clean and shipshape.
Now that Pets in Need is relicensed, Klimo said she can finally relax and believe that the nightmare is "all over."
But that means it's time to start worrying about fundraising again.
"We still want to move. We just keep plugging along, trying to raise enough money to build our own shelter," she said, indicating a busy upcoming calendar.
Next on the agenda will be a rock concert benefit from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., Jan. 27, at Paradise Beach Club (formerly Holiday Park) in Ingleside. That's on Illinois Highway 134, one mile east of U.S. Highway 12.
Featured performers will be Mooch Puppies, Highway Jones, Fog Water and Main Field Dancer. Tickets are $5, and only those 21 and over will be admitted. Call Pets in Need at 815-728-1462 or buy tickets at the door.

text: Financing a Game Development Venture 59 Raising Money/Financing the EarlyStage Venture If you are a start-up, now that you know how much money you need to make your pitch build (or your full build, if you want to self-publish or try for the higher royalties of a finished game), it is time to raise it. Raising money for a company is never easy, and the high rate of failure for game devel- opers doesn't make it much easier. On the other hand, the industry has the glow of expanding and generating profits all through the recent recession, which has given it some cachet in the public and investing audience. Furthermore, a game company is something that everyone with a console or a PC can relate to, which is always helpful when pitching. This section will help you answer three core questions of financing your company: · Who might fund you? · What materials should you prepare to make your pitch? · How do you take the investment into your company? The practice of institutional equity financing is not currently common in the game development in- dustry, but given the escalating cost of production and the rapid expansion of financing solutions and groups seeking to fund game development, it makes sense for developers to have a passing knowledge of the price of institutional money. This is discussed in the "Equity Investment Term Sheets" section. Sources of Funding Technically speaking, there are several sources of funding available for start-up companies, but practically speaking, an early-stage developer is only likely to shake fruit from one of four trees: friends and family, publishers, angel investors, or a game-focused financing entity.

All moms have a ton on their plates. Therefore, expecting perfection isn't healthy, let alone realistic, actress Andie MacDowell recently explained to HuffPost Live.
The actress spoke with HuffPost Live's Caitlyn Becker about "Stories of Strength," a program sponsored by Tylenol that helps inspire young people to honor their moms. When asked what advice she would give to other mothers, MacDowell said perfection just isn't a realistic expectation for working mothers to have.
"Well, I think every working mother is going to feel guilty -- it comes with the territory..." MacDowell said.
She added, "Hopefully we're gonna lighten up on ourselves as women as time goes on; but, you have to forgive yourself. You can't be perfect at everything."

US Election Shocker: Is This How The Vote Will Be Rigged?
Votes are being counted as fractions instead of as whole numbers.
As we know, there are a number of ways to rig an election. Bev Harris, at blackboxvoting.org, is exploring a specific "cheat sheet" that has vast implications for the Trump vs. Hillary contest.
It's a vote-counting system called GEMS.
I urge you to dive into her multi-part series, Fraction Magic (Part-1 here). Here are key Harris quotes. They're all shockers:
"Our testing [of GEMS] shows that one vote can be counted 25 times, another only one one-thousandth of a time, effectively converting some votes to zero."
"This report summarizes the results of our review of the GEMS election management system, which counts approximately 25 percent of all votes in the United States. The results of this study demonstrate that a fractional vote feature is embedded in each GEMS application which can be used to invisibly, yet radically, alter election outcomes by pre-setting desired vote percentages to redistribute votes. This tampering is not visible to election observers, even if they are standing in the room and watching the computer. Use of the decimalized vote feature is unlikely to be detected by auditing or canvass procedures, and can be applied across large jurisdictions in less than 60 seconds."
