The University of North Texas celebrated the opening of its pedestrian bridge linking Apogee Stadium with the main campus Tuesday before the Mean Green's nationally televised football game with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
Students participated in a celebratory spirit walk, marching from various parts of the campus to the bridge's entrance for a celebratory ribbon-cutting shortly after 5 p.m.
They wore UNT and Mean Green shirts, carried UNT flags and green and white Texas flags. Some even painted their faces and hair green. They captured the moment in photos.
Before the ribbon was cut, Rudy Reynoso, UNT's Student Government Association president, led students in chanting "Mean, Green!" and "North, Texas!"
Students counted down from three as the ribbon was cut.
The pulsating sound of drums filled the air as the first students and members of the community walked across the bridge.
Students chanted "U-N, U-N-T!" as they crossed the bridge from the old Fouts Field over Interstate 35E and to the east side of Apogee Stadium.
"It feels like I'm a part of UNT history, which is really cool," said Kylee Acoba, a radio, television, film sophomore. "I love this school, and it feels like I'm getting to be a part of history in the making for UNT."
Acoba, who said she has a view of the bridge from her dorm window, said she was anxious about the opening.
UNT President Lane Rawlins called the pedestrian bridge opening another piece of UNT heritage. Years from now, he said, students will tell stories about how they were the first to cross the walkway the day it opened.
"It's kind of symbolic," Rawlins said. "You could feel the enthusiasm of the students. It was a lot of fun."
Rawlins said the 20-foot-wide, 354-feet-long and 17-foot-tall bridge provides a safer route for students in traveling from one side of the campus to another.
With the opening of the bridge, students no longer have to worry about playing "Frogger" as they look to cross I-35E to Apogee Stadium, said Kirsten Barkin, a junior studying theater. It was her first time attending a Mean Green football game Tuesday, and with the new pedestrian bridge opening, she said she believes it will not be her last.
For more than 10 years, Brian Pavelek a UNT 1998 alumnus, has tailgated at every Mean Green football game. He said he's excited about the new pedestrian bridge even though it's opening later than expected.
"It was supposed to open at the beginning of the season, but better late than never," he said. "It's neat. I'm glad they're opening it.
"I think it will help out the athletes walking over from the dorms. It will definitely help in getting over to the games, and it looks nice from the highway too."
Pavelek said he was excited to see the bridge go up prior to overall completion of the Interstate 35 expansion.
Construction on the $2.5 million bridge began in February. The bridge, slated to open for the Mean Green's first home game, was delayed to complete welding, the railings and connecting sidewalks for the project.
The delay built up emotions for some students, Reynoso said.
"It sparked more excitement for the students at large," he said.

Harris impresses in brief D-backs debut
By Tyler Emerick / MLB.com
PHOENIX -- It didn't last long, but Will Harris made his D-backs debut Friday against the Phillies, striking out the only batter he faced, Michael Young, on four pitches.
After being put on waivers by the Rockies and A's earlier this season, Harris was glad to be back on the mound in the Majors, no matter how brief it was.
"It was good," said Harris, 28. "I knew I was only facing one hitter so that made it easy for me to focus on what I wanted to do to Young, and that was all I had to worry about."
When Harris got the call up to the big leagues on Wednesday with J.J. Putz landing on the disabled list, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson initially said he'd try to ease the right-hander into action. That wasn't exactly the case though, as Harris worked the first out of the eighth inning Friday in a tie game.
Still, his quick disposal of Young made a strong first impression on Gibson.
"If you look at how to get a guy's feet wet, I'd rather do it that way than put him in in a blowout," Gibson said Saturday. "He threw a really good sequence and he'll be better prepared because of it. Anybody is going to be nervous on a new team, you want to impress and he did a good job."
Moving forward, Friday's outing vs. the right-handed-hitting Young could be a predictor of what's to be expected of Harris in the future. At Triple-A Reno before his promotion, Harris' splits against lefties and righties were a stark contrast. Against left-handed batters, he struggled mightily, allowing seven runs (six earned) on nine hits over 5 2/3 innings. When matched up vs. righties, he was dominant, tossing six shutout frames and giving up just three hits.
So while Tony Sipp fills the left-handed specialist role, Harris could see most of his time coming against righties.
"That's how the big league bullpen is run, it's more matchups than it is in the Minors," Harris said. "I'm sure I'll face my fair share of righties. But I'm comfortable facing both. It seemed like every time I gave up runs in the Minors it was to lefties, it was a little skewed there but I don't have a problem with facing them though if the situation calls for it. Still, I kind of know my slot, it's defined a little bit."
Runners staying put against Montero, pitching staff
PHOENIX -- If it seems like Miguel Montero hasn't caught as many runners stealing this season, it's because teams haven't been testing the D-backs nearly as much. In the club's first 36 games, opponents have only attempted to steal 14 times, the fewest in all of baseball.
The next lowest is the Yankees with 17, while the highest belongs to the Cubs with 41.
"If a guy gets on first, we're going to keep him there," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "Give the pitcher a chance to get out of it with a double play."
While the threat of Montero's arm certainly plays a role in teams electing to stay put -- he threw out runners 42 percent of the time in 2012 -- Gibson also believes his pitching staff has done a good job of holding runners.
"It's important to keep the guy there, make the other team needs two hits to score him," Gibson said. "Our guys are comfortable throwing all over the diamond. They buy into it and put the work in and take it very seriously. They are also very talented to do so and execute it."
When Gibson took over as manager of the D-backs, he said some of the pitchers were taking as long as 1.6 seconds to throw home, much slower than the league average, which is around 1.2-1.4 seconds. Getting that number down, the manager said, has played a big part in discouraging opponents from taking off.
"I knew that had to change," Gibson said. "It's something we look at. I stole over 300 bases in my career so I know what people are looking for, so we're going to try to deter it."
Gibson unfazed in Williams' work as third-base coach
PHOENIX -- D-backs third-base coach Matt Williams has had a rough couple of days directing runners rounding third for home, so after seeing him get down on himself a bit, manager Kirk Gibson decided to offer a few words of encouragement.
"I just told him to let it go," Gibson said. "He beats himself up, just like I would and all the players do. He's been great though. Those things are going to happen."
In the second inning on Thursday with one out and Martin Prado on first, Gerardo Parra smacked a ball down the left-field line and Williams initially signaled for Prado to try to score, but as he rounded third, Williams changed his mind and threw up the stop sign. Prado hit the brakes, but at that point, he was too far off the bag and the Phillies tagged him out before he could retreat to third.
A similar situation played a day later in the first inning on Friday, but it had a better ending for the D-backs. With two down and Paul Goldschmidt on first base, Eric Chavez doubled down the right-field line and Williams motioned his arm in the air for Goldschmidt to score, but he again switched the sign to stop once he saw the relay throw coming.
This time though, Goldschmidt ran through the belated stop sign and beat the throw home.
Even with the couple of miscommunications, Gibson's confidence in Williams hasn't wavered.
"He's unreal, he's very talented at what he does in every respect," Gibson said. "He's going to make mistakes but ... you can't even imagine what he does for us."
Snake bites
• Miguel Montero hitting in the eight-hole didn't last long. The D-backs catcher was moved back up in the lineup Saturday, batting fifth.
Struggling at the plate this season, Montero was penciled in eighth on Friday for the first time since May 12, 2011. He ended up smacking a game-winning solo homer off the right-field foul pole Friday, lifting his batting average to .202.
"To be honest, I didn't even know his stats were struggling," first baseman Paul Goldschmidt said. "Because he does so many other things for us."
• Using a heavy shift against Ryan Howard this series, the D-backs kept the Phillies slugger hitless in eight at-bats through the first two games. Like many teams when they play Philadelphia, Arizona has nearly emptied out the left side of the infield to play all four infielders up the middle and to the right, Howard's pull side.
With no third baseman down the left-field line, laying down a bunt to the emptied area seems attractive at first glance, but D-backs manager Kirk Gibson thinks it's easier said than done.
"If you're Howard and you're down by a run, go ahead and bunt, but he isn't getting paid to bunt the ball, he's getting paid to hit the ball out of the park," Gibson said. "You make your choices, if he wants to bunt, go ahead and bunt. Like last night with Ian [Kennedy] on the mound, he's an exceptional fielder, so he would've had to make a good bunt. Not just any bunt is going to get you a hit. It's not that easy."
• With Triple-A Reno pitchers hitting for themselves next week, the D-backs sent Adam Eaton (elbow) to Class A Advanced Visalia on Saturday to resume his rehab assignment as a designated hitter.

November 10, 1858. That pure season showed up around November 6 this year. A month earlier, the foliage was a showy distraction to the fishing. Millers upper pool 10 4 13 2.jpg Millers River, October 4. This time out, russet earth and bare twigs were the show, and I was reminded on every 3rd or 4th cast where the twigs sent their leaves, as I pulled another sodden one off the streamer I was fishing. Hoosic 11 6 13.jpg Hoosic River, November 6. But one angler's minor annoyance is another critter's feast. Massive quantities of leaves find their way into streams this time of year, and the dinner bell has rung for the shredders - the name we give to the "functional feeding group" of leaf-chomping insects, most of which are stoneflies, caddis flies, or craneflies. Sawmill River leaves November 15 13.jpg Many of these hatch from egg to larval stage, appetites ready, just as the leaves arrive. This fortuitous timing ensures a plentiful food supply for the newborns, stonefly shredder crop.jpg and they're off to the races; eating and growing their way towards eventual adulthood, fresh air, flight and sex. Who knows? Some of them may someday come to rest on the very trees whose former leaves nourished them through their youth. There's some concern that climate change may put a wrinkle in this cycle – that a disruption in timing of either the seasonal leaf fall or insect egg hatching (or both), could separate the young larvae from their food supply. There's a growing body of research documenting timing changes for a variety of plant and animal communities in the spring: e.g. in bird migrations, buds bursting, emergence dates for several mayflies and other insects targeted by anglers. These changes may be messing up the trophic balance. Those eating and those being eaten are not meeting up like they used to (ditto for pollination and other useful life functions). Bad news for balanced ecosystems. Less is known about fall phenology shifts. A brief and selective ramble through the literature reveals these research nuggets: Some tree species appear to be holding on to their leaves longer than heretofore; others are exhibiting no noticeable change. Invertebrate larvae commonly have a thermal comfort zone. Up to a point, warmer temperatures induce growth spurts; exceed this, and growth (and survival) rates diminish. Warmer winter stream temperatures are known to expedite some spring-summer hatches. In summer, the thermal influence is more ambiguous. Many species hunker down in warm and low water conditions by going into diapause ("quiescent periods in a resistant life stage for avoiding inclement periods of excessively high or low temperatures"). Eggs are one such diapause stage. Less commonly, diapause can also occur larval and pupal stages. Will diapause last longer with warmer summers? For which species? For a number of species - plant and animal – phenology governed more by photoperiod (amount of light and dark each day) than by temperature. As yet, we have an imperfect knowledge of which species fall into either camp. To add one more wrinkle, studies have shown that several invertebrate species exhibit preferential feeding on different tree species. For instance, hickory and white ash seem tastier – or more nutritious – than red oak or American beech. Interesting findings all, but it's something of a puzzle to piece them all together. The picture of coming climate change impacts to trout streams is only slowly coming into focus. It is becoming clear that there's a lot more to climate change than the headline grabbers of heat waves, storm surges and bad weather. It behooves us to be observant, to compare notes with researchers in other disciplines. And to keep fighting the good fight. It seems like every week, someone's discovered a new climate impact we hadn't known before. With every new bit of bad news, the temptation is to give in to doom and gloom. But that's a losing strategy. Sure, we've dealt ourselves a bad hand, but that's no reason to quit the game. We might as well recognize that the fight against climate change is a war of attrition, and that much of the battle involves performing triage on our trout streams. We'll lose some waters, we'll save some others, and restore a few more. Don't give up the fight, and don't give up on the fishing. Treasure every moment astream; every leaf, bug, fish we have the good fortune to come across. Millers Brookie 10 4 13.jpg Log in or register to post comments

Infielder Schoop among four called up to Orioles
Flaherty, Urrutia and right-hander Stinson also summoned from Minors
By Brittany Ghiroli / MLB.com
CLEVELAND -- As expected, the Orioles officially promoted four players on Tuesday. Infielders Ryan Flaherty and Jonathan Schoop, pitcher Josh Stinson and designated hitter Henry Urrutia joined Baltimore, with Schoop the only member of the new additions who has yet to make his Major League debut.
"I just think they can benefit more by being here this time of year, especially Jonathan," manager Buck Showalter said of the decision to recall Urrutia and Schoop, who will both play in the Arizona Fall League. "And Henry, because of his lack of experience -- I think everything you can expose these guys to that have a chance to be in the Major Leagues, I think it only helps the transition. Plus with Jonathan, we need someone to run around with Manny [Machado]."
The organization's top position-player prospect, the 21-year-old Schoop was in big league Spring Training and is close friends with Machado, having come up with him through the Minor Leagues.
"He went through it last year. He can explain to me what's going on," Schoop said of having Machado in the clubhouse with him. "It can help me more. It can help me a lot -- on the field and off the field."
Schoop batted .256/.301/.396 with nine home runs and 34 RBIs in 289 plate appearances while playing second base and shortstop for Triple-A Norfolk this season, missing more than two months with a stress fracture in his lower back.
"It was frustrating, because I've never been out more than a week out of baseball," said Schoop, who will wear No. 6 for the Orioles. "At first, it was tough for me to adjust, because I didn't want to walk away. I wanted to play, but I couldn't. I needed to sit back and not play for it to get better or it could have got worse. That's why I sat back and did my rehab program, and now I feel good right now."
Schoop played for Team Netherlands in this year's World Baseball Classic, hitting .214/.313/.464 with two home runs in eight games.
Prospect Rodriguez earns Pitcher of Week honors
CLEVELAND -- Orioles pitching prospect Eduardo Rodriguez was named Eastern League Pitcher of the Week on Tuesday. Rodriguez is the second pitcher for Double-A Bowie to win the award this season, joining Eddie Gamboa.
Rodriguez had a strong finish to the season, going 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA over 14 innings in his final two starts. He allowed seven hits while striking out 11 batters and walking just one.
The youngest player in Major League Spring Training, the 20-year-old lefty was ranked the Orioles' third-best prospect entering the year.
In his final four starts, Rodriguez went 3-0 with a 0.36 ERA. Overall, he was 4-3 with a 4.22 ERA in 11 Double-A starts. He went 6-4 with a 2.85 ERA in 14 starts with Class A Advanced Frederick to start the season.
Showalter giving Britton nod for finale vs. Tribe
CLEVELAND -- Left-hander Zach Britton will start Wednesday's series finale against the Indians as Baltimore goes to a six-man rotation for at least the next week.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter met with the starters prior to Tuesday's game vs. the Indians and let them know that the plan moving forward -- which involves moving back the rest of the rotation by a day -- is basically to play things by ear.
The O's, who are vying for a playoff spot, will now have ace Chris Tillman pitch against the Yankees on Monday, with the rotation for the four-game White Sox series that starts Thursday lining up as Miguel Gonzalez, Scott Feldman, Wei-Yin Chen and Bud Norris.
"We'll revisit it around [Sept. 9]," Showalter said of the rotation, which could include rookie righty Kevin Gausman later this month. "The first time we really have two guys to pick from."
Britton, recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday, is coming off his best start of the season Wednesday for the Tides, and he's worked hard to get back to his delivery from 2010.
"It's exciting," Britton said of getting the nod. "Another opportunity to come up here and show that I've made adjustments. Hopefully, [I'll] give this team some innings and give the other starters a little breather, which is nice in September."
In two career starts at Progressive Field, Britton is 1-1 with a 3.75 ERA. He will take the spot of Gonzalez, who is coming off his worst outing this season. The right-handed Gonzalez has never faced the White Sox and will now get an extra day's rest and pitch at home.
Britton will have a full week between starts, but he said he doesn't think that will be an issue because Norfolk was using a six- or seven-man rotation for most of the year, so he's used to it.
"It doesn't ... for example, Tillman makes the same number of starts," Showalter said of the move. "We have some other options, too. See where Gaus is most valuable for us. It plays into who is healthy in our bullpen right now."
Worth noting
• Jason Hammel, making his second rehab start, went four innings Tuesday for short-season Aberdeen and could be activated as early as Saturday. Hammel, on the disabled list with right forearm tightness, allowed one run on three hits and a walk.
• Frederick athletic trainer Patrick Wesley has been named Carolina League Athletic Trainer of the Year. Wesley is in his 10th year in the organization and has worked at Major League Spring Training each of the past three springs.
• Orioles reliever Troy Patton celebrated his 28th birthday on Tuesday.

Super Bowl week is generally one filled with relatively dull news conferences, save the occasional public case of foot-in-mouth like the one suffered by 49ers corner Chris Culliver. SWATS owner Mitch Ross broke up the monotony on Friday by giving a lively news conference outside the media center in New Orleans.
Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun, Ian Rapoport and Albert Breer of NFL Network, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News and Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post cobbled together some of the high points of what Ross, who made headlines for allegedly providing Deer Antler Velvet Spray to Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis in his recent recovery, had to say.
Ross, who showed up wearing a skull cap and a sleeveless shirt, told the assembled media that he had received death threats from Ravens fans after the Sports Illustrated report surfaced earlier this week. He said the story was "written wrong" and that comments by Heath Evans were "misconstrued." Ross added that he was misled by SI and feels he was "catfished."
Ross also apologized to "any athletes who were hurt" by the SI story and said, "Hue Jackson is my hero." He also said he never saw Lewis put deer antler spray in his mouth.
Ross began name-dropping a number of athletes: He claimed Brett Favre and Carnell Williams each used his sprays. He also said Favre inquired about a full-body hologram sticker. Safety Roy Williams was also on his list of alleged clients. He also named Johnny Damon, Jamal Lewis, James Ihedigbo, Terrell Owens, Kevin Turner and Carlos Pena as clients, but reiterated that natural IGF-1 is not banned like synthetic IGF-1. He repeatedly told reporters he only works with natural products, not synthetics. (Ross added that Damon preferred deer-antler chips, not spray.)
In this photo, you can see Ross displaying his holograms.
Mitch Ross says his holograms make sure you "don't get tired. Athletes will do anything to improve performance"twitpic.com/c03kod— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 1, 2013
Ross said Ray Lewis is getting "screwed for this" and added "He has not taken a banned substance.
Here are other notable one-liners from the day:
Ross said Junior Seau's death was caused by sleep deprivation.
He said God sent him to help the Ravens with holograms.
He said he sent 600 chips—which are legal—to the Ravens for use during the playoffs against the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots.
According to Breer, Ross said he sent performance chips to the Patriots and Giants last year through Ihedigbo and Steve Weatherford.
He said people have two brains.
He finished his session by saying "I'm not a goofball."

Leaving Phoenix with a split, gets spanked in final game of series.
In the final game of their four games series with the D-backs, the Phils get spanked, 8-3. The Phils would draw first blood, as Chase Utley hits a sacrifice fly off of Brandon Webb, scoring Shane Victornio, who has singled, moved to second on a ground out and then stole third. The D-backs would come back in the bottom of the inning, as Chris Young hits a two-run home run off of Brett Myers, his eighth home run of the year, scoring Augie Ojeda, who has earlier single, making the score 2-1 D-backs. That would be the score until the bottom of the fourth when the Diamondbacks exploded for four runs off of losing pitcher Myers. After giving up two straight walks and a single, Myers gives up a double to Chris Snyder, which scores Justin Upton and Stephen Drew, both of whom have gotten on base via walks. Chris Burke would then single in Mark Reynolds, who has singled earlier, making the score 5-1 Arizona. Then, with one out, and two men on base, Ojedo would hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Snyder, and increasing the D-backs lead to 6-1. In the fifth, Arizona would increase their lead to 7-1, as Reynolds hit a single, knocking in Drew, who has tripled earlier. After Myers is taken out for a pitch hitter, he is replaced by Clay Condrey. After giving up no runs in the sixth, Condrey gives up a home run to Upton in the seventh, his sixth of the year, giving the D-backs a 8-1 lead. He would then pitch a scoreless eighth inning. In the ninth, with Webb still pitching for the Diamondbacks, Eric Bruntlett would single in Victorino, who has earlier single and stole second, his second steal of the game, making the score 8-2 D-backs. Ryan Howard would then single in Bruntlett, who has reached second on a ground out, making the score 8-3. And that would be where the game ends, as Webb gets the next batter to hit into a double play.
The Phils' losing pitcher is Myers, who went six innings, getting rocked for seven runs, six of which were earned, on nine hits. His record is now 2-3 while his ERA is now at 5.33. Condrey would pitch three innings of relief, giving up only one earned run on one hit, the Upton solo home run. Webb would go the distance for the D-backs, increasing his record to 8-0, as he gives up three runs, two of which were earned, on six hits, as his ERA dips to 2.41.
The Phils (20-16) leave Phoenix (23-12) with a spilt as they continue their road trip with a weekend visit to San Francisco (14-21) with the Giants for three game. Their first game, which will start at 10:15 Eastern (7:15 Pacific) tomorrow at AT&T Park, will have Cole Hamels (3-3, 3.10) facing Pat Misch (0-0, 5.40). Hamels is coming off a May 4 games against these same Giants, where he pitched six innings, giving up four earned runs on seven hits while receiving a no-decision in the Phils' dramatic 9th inning win against the Giants, 6-5. Hamels will be looking for his fourth win of the year. Misch's last start was against the Phils on May 2, where he gave up four earned runs on five hits in the Giants' 6-5 ten innings lost. He will be looking for his first major league victory.
As the Phils leave for San Francisco, they presently trail the Marlins by .5 games, as the Marlins wait to play their game with the Brewers. Meanwhile, they are presently .5 games ahead of the Braves, who have just finished sweeping the Padres for their sixth straight win, 5-4. The Phils will be hoping for the Brewers to defeat the fish, but whether the Marlins win or lose, they will be .5 games ahead of the streaking Braves.

Actress and twin sister co-writing memoir
NEW YORK (AP) — Actress Samantha Futerman is collaborating on a book about her improbable discovery that she had an identical twin.
Futerman, whose credits include the TV series "The Big C" and the film "Memoirs of a Geisha," has a deal with G.P Putnam's Sons. She will work on the book with Anais Bordier, the adopted daughter of a French family whose friends had seen Futerman's movies and swore that the actress and Bordier looked exactly alike.
Bordier learned she and Futerman, who grew up in New Jersey, were born in Korea on Nov. 19, 1987. She contacted Futerman earlier this year through Facebook and the women discovered in May they were twins.
Putnam announced Tuesday that the book is currently untitled and is scheduled to come out in the fall of 2014.

PHOENIX, July 19 (UPI) -- Hispanic drivers pulled over by Phoenix-area sheriff's deputies were more likely to have their names checked and were held longer, an expert said Thursday.
Ralph Taylor, who teaches at Temple University in Philadelphia, was the first witness in a racial-profiling lawsuit against the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department, The Arizona Republic reported. Controversial Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has turned illegal immigration into a cause, putting him at odds with the large Hispanic community in the area, the Obama administration's Justice Department and even with other law enforcement agencies in Arizona.
Taylor said that when he examined data from about 100,000 traffic stops between 2007 and 2009 he found drivers with Spanish surnames were 30 to 40 percent more likely to have their names checked and the traffic stops were 22 percent longer.
The lawsuit was originally filed in 2007 when Manuel de Jesus Ortega Melendres, a Mexican visiting the United States illegally, was detained. He was a passenger in a car driven by a non-Hispanic and said he was held for nine hours.
U.S. District Judge G. Murray Snow said his findings will be based on current practices of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department and not on what they were in 2007.
The original plaintiffs also included two visitors from Chicago, siblings with a Hispanic surname, who said they were detained, and the husband of an aide to former Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon. The lawsuit is now a class action, including every Hispanic driver pulled over in Maricopa County.

Where do ridiculous statements like What ever's posting come from? Do you have any basis for such statements?
a resident of Pleasanton Valley

The council does not add stop signs or lights around town. Is she applying to be a traffic engineer because she has no education or college degree in traffic solutions or civil engineering.
We have a great traffic engineer in Pleasanton named Mike Tasano who does a wonderful job.
Can she negotiate city contracts and make the tough decisions needed to fix our finances? No. The fire and police are supporting her in hopes that she will give them a better contract than the other candidates.
She supports perpetuity taxes for our grandkids, with no clear idea where the money us going. She scares me with her tax and spend policies.
Sorry, there is no way
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

According to her statement, she is committed to "and more dollars for public safety".
Aren't much of our current budget challgenges because of high police/fire costs?
I don't hear any of the other candidates pushing for more money for fire/police.

Not very deep reporting by the PW. They completely skipped the part about how Erlene worked for James Tong, the developer for the Lin Family that lives in Taiwan, during the Oak Grove project in the hills. They both wanted to jam that awful development into Pleasanton. I remember the 50 plus homes up to 12,000 square feet that were going to sit right on our south ridgetops, after they cut them off. Then Tong also wanted to convert our Vintage Hills shopping center to high density housing. The vineyard area has more than its share of apartments and condos.
I voted against Oak Grove and I am going to vote against Erlene D.

Erlene is the ONLY council candidate listing both Police and Fire endorsements on her web site. I think that's pretty telling about her positions related to issues they'd be interested in. She is also supporting Cheryl for Mayor--again telling about her positions on union issues.

Look at what a mess BART is in. They can't stay on budget and are continually asking for more taxes to pay their bills. She was on their board 20 years ago, and has done little since.
NO thanks.

The people who comment here are consistent, they attack those they disagree with no matter what the article says. DeMarcus brings accomplishments to the table, she wants to improve our quality of life. The ridicule by people with obvious agendas is unwarrented and cruel.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Oct 4, 2012 at 12:31 pm
Yes, I have a very simple agenda here - make it well known who the unions are supporting. I believe it is very important that the public understands this as public union controlled elected politians have demonstrated over and over again that they don't have the internal fortitude to stand up and do what is right for all citizens.
It is quite telling that DeMarcus wants to funnel more money to safety when safetly already commands a huge percentage of our budget and is crowding out other services.
It would be great to have DeMarcus explain the reasons why she believe safety should get more money.
Her "union stooginess" is extremely transparent.

dear whatever, i hope you never have an emergency which requires a police or fire response. our public safety personnel put their lives on the line everyday despite people like you.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Oct 4, 2012 at 9:14 pm
The days of public safety HERO worship only lives on in your own mind. The days of leveraging your inflated sense of self-worth has led to increasing demands on the general fund and rapidly increasing pension liabilities that will be paid for by my children, for services we can't afford today but are consuming. My kids can't vote but I can, and I'm voting for both responsible government and responsible candidates. If the candidate has a union endorsement attatched to their name they won't get my vote! Just the way I feel.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Oct 4, 2012 at 11:01 pm
Stop fooling yourself with your own BS and trying to use this as justification even more money. Fire and police jobs aren't nearly as dangerous as many of the others in our community. They like to pretend that they are so they can justify high unjustified compensation. Look up the BLS stats if you don't believe me.
DeMarcus was naive to be talked into being the unions' tool for this election. To make one of her election planks to get more money for safety shows how clueless of a tool she is.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Oct 5, 2012 at 8:25 pm
I will vote against anyone that is endorsed by the unions. We have some major negotiations coming up and we should not have anyone on the council with a conflict of interest. The council should be representing the taxpayers and not the unions. This is the reason for the current mess we are in at the city,county,state and federal levels where the legislators are controlled by the unions. The taxpayers have finally woken up.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Oct 5, 2012 at 9:57 pm
Not only is Erlene endorsed by police and fire but the union rep for non-safety employees has Erlene's sign in her front yard as well.
And by the way, take a look at the latest campaign finance discloures posted on the City web site today. Not only do you have Erlene supported by the unions but look at how much Tong, his family and his minions donated to Erlene's campaign.
Makes sense though, we'll have massive development from Tong ( think Oak Grove) to pay for increased pay and benefits for the union employees. Brilliant!!!. . .

Has anyone seen her home off Mohr, what a sight. Small home business owner or not, the mess is in the front driveway. I been a voter here for 25+ years. Looking at it over time, now time for action.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Oct 15, 2012 at 8:07 am
Amazing that I got a flyer on my door step about Erlene that has the word "Integrity" in capital letters. I know her personally and she has ZERO integrity.
For example, she is taking more than 1/2 of her campaign funding from her past employer and huge developer James Tong's and the Lin Family's rich family coffers. Each time there is a TV forum she says nothing about their relationship! This developer has one goal and that is to put her on the council to approve projects like the multi-story condos in Dublin! Erlene, tell the people the truth! You are bought and paid for by developers.
Then she says she is a transportation expert. NO WAY! She has zero education in transportation, None. She is dangerous, and she lost her re-election campaign to the Bart board because she is an "expert" but the people were not fooled. One term on the Bart board 20 years ago is not an expert.

You people should thank your stars that someone as dedicated as Erlene is willing to serve. She is a true public servant.
a resident of Danbury Park
on Nov 1, 2012 at 11:30 pm
I don't know all of the background between the 3 candidates, but I will thank my lucky stars when she is safely tucked away from the chance to spend my hard earned tax dollars on rich union contracts in exchange for deep pocket donations to her campaign.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Nov 2, 2012 at 9:37 am
Can anyone help me, if Erlene is elected, would she have to recuse herself for all projects that are related to Tong or the Lin family, or any other developer that helped fund her excessive $30,000 donation pile?
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Nov 5, 2012 at 6:12 am
Did anyone see the mailer from Erlene showing her sitting on a bulldozer? At least she is honest in her message to flatten the town and start mass construction on thousands of homes for the Lin and Tong families.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Nov 5, 2012 at 6:34 am
It would be funny, if it wasn't so tragic. Karla and Erlene clawing each others eyes out. Easy solution...just vote for Pentin only. Pentin has actually SERVED Pleasanton continuously for two decades. Parks and Rec Commission, President of Rotary (as a Pls small business owner), currently on Planning commission, plus in many other volunteer activities.
He understands everything about Pleasanton.
For me it's Jerry Pentin Council, Jerry Thorne Mayor.

Our pension bill will rise and my kids will have to pay for it.
Anyone but ERLENE!
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Nov 5, 2012 at 5:15 pm
I thought it was just the Thorne people, but now the Pentin people are acting rude.
What is up with this? Don't you guys get it, Karla has a lot of followers, including me, and you are losing them as the second votes.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

I guess the Pentin people don't care if they are rude and mean - that is their strategy.

Fourteen years after her death, Hollywood is preparing to pay homage to Princess Diana with not one, but possibly three biopics.
Jessica Chastain, who recently lit up the screen in The Help, is reportedly in talks to star in Caught in Flight, which will focus on Diana's relationship with heart surgeon Dr. Hasnat Kahn.
Last year Charlize Theron, Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson were all rumored to play the princess in two different films.
Theron was said to be in line for Closely Guarded Secret, based on the book by Diana's bodyguard Ken Wharfe. And both Knightley and Johansson were rumored to star in a movie simply titled Diana.
The projects have yet to go before the cameras, but which actress would you like to see wearing Diana's crown?

The Lady Panthers tennis squad traveled to Grand Junction for regional play last weekend, showing well but coming home disappointed.
Kristen Parker, the top singles player for the Panthers, played against Durango in the first round and lost a tough match to Erin Neale 3-6 and 7-6. The deciding second set was a long battle of powerful ground strokes and lasted close to an hour. Parker played an excellent game to tie the score at 6-6 and then lost the tiebreaker 2-7.
Panther coach Dan Wood said the senior showed character, overcoming an illness and demonstrating sportsmanship while playing some of the best players in the state.
"She had all the skills to play well at state," Wood said.
Sadee Threlkeld opened the tournament with a solid victory over Erica Decker from Montrose 6-4 and 6-3. The Panther senior had earned a bye/win in the first round due to her victories during the season and moved on to the semifinal match against Courtney Thomas of Vail Mountain. Threlkeld played excellent tennis but lost the match to Vail 2-6 and 2-6. Threlkeld also overcome a bad ankle sprain and won the majority of her matches over the year.
Nicole Demby, #3 in Panther singles, was very close to state qualification and won the third place ribbon at this regional championship, among 12 teams. She also drew a bye in the first round and defeated Madison Farmer from Delta 6-2, 6-4. Sophomore Demby used her agility and accuracy to win the first set in the semifinals against senior Sadie Dickenson from Glenwood Springs. Both players exhibited unusual accuracy for more than an hour and played a tiebreaker, which Dickenson won. Demby only missed going to the finals and most likely the state championship by a few points. She then went back to work and won third place with a victory over Paonia senior Lexi Johnson.
"There is no doubt in my mind that Nicole Demby will be one of the best players in the state next year," said coach Wood.
Seniors Emily Walck and Mary Wright entered regionals with an undefeated season, including a first-place finish at the Delta County Tournament, and earned a bye in the first round. They then faced Durango in the semifinals. Walck and Wright had a win against the Demons earlier in the season but lost a tough match against Meredith Nass and Kit Hacket, 4-6 and 4-6. They then rallied and scored victories over Aspen and Glenwood Springs to take third place in this highly talented doubles competition.
Senior Jessica Quinonez and sophomore Jaci Veach were seeded fourthth in #2 doubles play and were awarded a bye in the first round. The duo had some bad luck and lost the match to Rachel Redders and Anna Wright 6-2, 6-2.
Sophomores Tori Calliham and Kearra Boggs also tried hard but lost to #3 Doubles Hotchkiss 3-6, 2-6.
Skye Cole and Racquel Lucero, #4 doubles freshwomen, played great tennis and finished in 3rd place with victories over Cedaredge, Durango, Vail Mountain. They played well in their state qualifying match against Montrose but lost 6-2 in the final set.
The 2013 Lady Panthers finished in fifth Place at Regionals.

Butler the odd man out for opener vs. Phils
By Mike Radano / Special to MLB.com
PHILADELPHIA -- When manager Ned Yost sat down to make out his lineup for Friday afternoon's game at Citizens Bank Park, he knew that his toughest decisions had to do with first base, right field and designated hitter. Without a DH in the National League Park, he had to fit three players into two spots.
In other words, of the threesome that included Billy Butler, Jeff Francoeur and Eric Hosmer, one would have to sit. On this day, it fell to Butler to start the day on the bench.
"We have three guys going for two spots," Yost said. "Francoeur had good numbers off of [Phillies starter Kyle] Kendrick. It's just one of those deals in that we wanted Francoeur to play. We have a right on right then a left on right today. Billy will play first tomorrow."
In 22 at-bats vs. Kendrick entering Friday's game, Francoeur had nine hits for a .409 average with a home run and three RBIs. Francoeur, who is the only Royals hitter with significant numbers against Kendrick from his time in Atlanta, added a single in his first at-bat.
"It's different when an American League club comes to a National League city," Yost said. "One of your players just has to sit. These are guys who are used to playing every day and we'll just have to juggle it."
Yost preparing for steady dose of Interleague Play
PHILADELPHIA -- With the Astros' move to the American League giving each league 15 teams, Interleague Play will be a season-long occurrence. It's something Royals manager Ned Yost understands, but also something that will create some interesting situations over the course of the season.
Simply put, AL teams are built differently due to the designated hitter, and the difference is magnified in National League parks when teams such as the Royals have to sit one of their regulars.
"We play Interleague the second series of the year," Yost said. "We go home for two series and then another Interleague one. Then another one in a month. Another one a month from that. It's a little more drawn out, and it is what it is, so you play them."
Included in the Royals' NL foes in the coming months are the Braves and Cardinals.
Francoeur, Gordon leaders of young clubhouse
PHILADELPHIA -- With a relatively young team, Royals manager Ned Yost has the benefit of veteran players like Jeff Francoeur and Alex Gordon to fall back on in his clubhouse.
It doesn't seem that long ago that Francoeur and Gordon were up-and-coming stars of the future. Now in their seventh major league seasons, both have had up and downs and both are now veterans that young players can learn from at the Major League level.
"All players find a comfort level," Yost said. "Especially young talented players like they were. They have to go through ups and downs. It makes you a better player if you can battle through it. You learn a lot from adversity.
"I've seen two players come up and never have major adversity. That's Ryan Braun and Chipper Jones. Every good young player has struggled over the course of their career early. They figured it out and went on to be successful."
Crown points
• Yost was feeling positive about the Royals' 1-2 start, saying, "I'm feeling really, really good. You don't judge over a three-game period. You take it month by month. Our pitching was outstanding, our defense was pretty good. We just didn't hit. I know that we have a dynamic offensive team. We're going to hit."

Mayor Thomas Koch was elected to a third term in Tuesday's election, defeating challenger Anne Mahoney. In other Quincy election races, Brad Croall and Kirsten Hughes are the new faces on the city council.
Mayor Thomas Koch secured a third term by roughly the same margin he won his first two by, defeating challenger Anne Mahoney by a little over 2,000 votes in a mayoral election with an exceptionally low turnout.
Koch told supporters at the Quincy Elks lodge that his victory Tuesday signals support for the agenda he's pursued while in office, which has included commitments to public projects costing hundreds of millions of dollars.
Koch defeated Mahoney, vice chairwoman of the school committee, by 2,170 votes. He received 10,510 votes to Mahoney's 8,340.
Mahoney hinted to supporters gathered at the Siros Restaurant that she will make another bid for mayor. She will continue her term on the school committee.
In other Quincy election races, Brad Croall and Kirsten Hughes are the new faces on the city council, having won election to vacated seats for wards 2 and 5.
Hughes defeated Neil McCole by 516 votes to become Ward 5 councilor, while Croall defeated Steven Perdios by just 56 votes to take the Ward 2 seat.
Croall replaces Daniel Raymondi, who took a job as city public works commissioner. Hughes succeeds nine-year City Councilor Douglas Gutro, who won election to an at-large seat.
Incumbents Kevin Coughlin (Ward 3) and Brian McNamee (Ward 6), as well at-large Councilors Joseph Finn and Michael McFarland, were re-elected to two-year terms. Ward 1 Councilor Margaret LaForest and Ward 4 councilor Brian Palmucci were unopposed.
Three seats on the Quincy School Committee were claimed by eight-year incumbent David McCarthy, retired Quincy teacher Paul Bregoli, and citywide PTO head Kathryn Hubley.

text: backIC junior looks to RISE to the occasion this summer3.27.3014 Illinois College junior Anne Aiello of Springfield, Ill., will be in Germany this summer taking part in RISE (Research Internships in Science and Engineering), an internship program for undergraduate students from the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, earth sciences and engineering. "I am so excited to have this opportunity," Aiello says. "This internship through the RISE program is absolutely perfect for me, as I will gain valuable experience in both my major (biochemistry) and minor (German)." RISE offers unique opportunities for undergraduate students to work with research groups at universities and top research institutions across Germany for a period of two to three months during the summer. RISE interns are matched with doctoral students to assist in research. All scholarship holders receive stipends from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) to help cover living expenses, while partner universities and research institutions provide housing assistance. At Illinois College Aiello has been mainly involved in organic chemistry research with chemistry professor Brent Chandler. Through the RISE program Aiello will get to use her knowledge in organic chemistry, as well as molecular biology and biochemistry. "This will bring together all my major courses," Aiello says."This internship will also give me a chance to do research in a completely new environment. I will gain new skills and opportunities that are completely different than what I have seen here at Illinois College." Aiello is also looking forward to her first trip out of the country and to experience everything Germany has to offer. "I have studied the German culture for years and I've always had a desire to experience it first hand, so I am eager to be right in the middle of it," Aiello says. "There is so much history and tradition in Germany, not to mention having a chance to be a part of the German tradition that is science." On a personal and professional level Chandler fully expects this experience to be transformational for Aiello. "The internship is an opportunity for Anne to truly apply her liberal arts education," Chandler says. "She gets to take part in world class research while immersing herself in the German language and culture."

Than i stop for a moment and after that little break, i drop the racquet down and moving it upwards to contact like a windshield viper forehand. I just don't feel it like a totally smooth movement but i feel comfortable hitting that way. Do you think i need to change that habit or not ? If i need, do you have some suggestions to help me correct it ?

God loves us. He loves us constantly and unconditionally. No matter what we have done, what we are doing or what we shall do, He will always love us. God loves us much more than He loves Himself. If we use our thinking and doubting minds, this may seem hard to believe. But if we use our loving and surrendering hearts, then we are bound to feel that God loves us infinitely more than He loves Himself. Why does He love us so much? He loves us because He feels that His Dream remains unfulfilled without us, His Reality remains unmanifested without us; without us, He is incomplete.
There have been many, many times in our lives when we have felt miserable because we told a lie or deceived someone or became jealous of others. After we do something wrong, our conscience comes to the fore and we feel miserable. We curse ourselves and try to punish ourselves. But God's Love for us remains exactly the same. We hate ourselves for our mistakes, but God still loves us and will always continue to love us. Our justice-power condemns us, but God's Compassion-Power forgives us, illumines us and transforms our weakness into strength. God gets satisfaction when, with His blessingful Smile, He gives us His Compassion-Flood, His Concern-Sky and His Love-Sea so that we can grow into His very image.
God loves us, and in return He wants us to smile, to love and to transcend. The moment we offer Him a soulful smile, God is pleased with us. The moment we offer Him an iota of our love, God is pleased with us. The moment we want to transcend our earth-bound consciousness, God is pleased with us.
Our human love constantly tries to separate and divide, but the divine Love we get from God always adds and multiplies. God used His Delight-Power when He created the world, and now He uses His Love-Power to protect the world and bring perfection to earth, His creation.
God gives us what He has and what He is. What He has is infinite Peace, Light and Bliss, and what He is is His constant Concern - Concern for our liberation from the meshes of ignorance and Concern for our perfection. God loves us. We love God. By loving God, we gain victory over our age-old ignorance. By loving us, God makes us consciously feel that we are eternal players, divine players in His Cosmic Game.
God definitely loves me
No matter what I am doing,
But He will definitely love me
Infinitely more
If He sees me dreaming
Of becoming another God
Like Him.
Love is the inner bond, the inner connection, the inner link between man and God, between the finite and the Infinite. We always have to approach God through love. Without love, we cannot become one with God. If we go through our journey with absolute love, we can never fail to reach God or fulfil Him, either in our own lives or in humanity.
What is love? If love means possessing someone or something, then that is not real love; that is not true love. If love means giving and becoming one with everything, with humanity and divinity, then that is real love. Real love is our total oneness with the object loved and with the possessor of love. Who is the possessor of love? God.
Whom are we loving? We are loving the Supreme in each individual. When we love the body, we bind ourselves; when we love the soul, we free ourselves. It is the soul in the individual, the Supreme in each human being, that we have to love.
Nothing can be greater than love. God is great only because He has infinite Love. If we want to define God, we can define Him in millions of ways, but I wish to say that no definition of God can be as adequate as the definition of God as all Love. When we say 'God', if fear comes into our mind, then we are millions and billions of miles away from Him. When we repeat the name of God, if love comes to the fore, then our prayer, our concentration, our meditation, our contemplation are genuine. There can be no greater wisdom, no greater knowledge, than love.
The world exists just because love still exists on earth. If this one divine quality left the world, then there could be no existence on earth. No other divine quality can create, sustain and fulfil God here on earth like the quality of love. Divine love does not mean an emotional exchange of human thoughts or ideas; it means the fulfilment of oneness.
How do I know that God loves me?
The Supreme has given you as a human being the capacity and potentiality to realise Him. If He is not kind, why has He given you this human life? He has given you this life, He has given you the aspiration, He has given you the opportunity and He has given you the capacity to realise His highest Height. Would He have given you all this if He did not love you? The Supreme does love you. That is why He has given you the aspiration to seek His Love.
If you think the Supreme does not love you, you have to know that you are a real fool. It is the Supreme who has created love. He has created your very existence. It is like a gardener who has created a garden with many beautiful flowers. If a flower says, "No, no, he does not love me!" is that not ridiculous? The very fact that the gardener has planted and cultivated the flowers—is this not his love? At every moment you have to feel that the Supreme does love you. Otherwise, He would not have brought you into His creation.
God loves you
For your heart's
God loves you
For your life's
God loves you
For your soul's
Omnipresent luminosity.
What is the difference between human love and divine love?
Human love is very limited. In human love, there is every possibility of being captured by pleasure. In human love, there is practically no opportunity to expand our divine consciousness. True human love, even if it is not spiritual, will have some psychic emotion in it. This emotion will try to show us that love should not bind or impose. However, in human love we always feel that the other person does not want us or need us. There is always some fear or hatred in human love. Human love, as everybody knows, ends in frustration, and frustration is followed by destruction. In human love, we end up losing our own sweet feeling of oneness with the other person and we end up losing our divine reality.
Divine love makes no demand. It is spontaneous and constant. It is unlimited in every way. It is like the sun. The sun is for everybody. Everybody can use the sunlight, but if we keep our doors and windows shut, what can the sun do? It is God's divine Love that has to act in and through human love. But if we do not care for the divine love that is flowing around us or wants to flow in us, then the divine love cannot function in and through us.
Human love binds; but before it binds it is already bound. Divine love illumines, but before it illumines, we see that it is already illumined. Divine love starts with the awareness of a higher reality. It is our constant conviction of a very high truth. Divine love at every moment illumines us, and in illumination we see total fulfilment.
God unconditionally loves
Each and every human being.
Indeed, this is a divine mystery
That no human mind can ever fathom.
The very nature of human love is to stick only to one person and to reject everyone else. But in divine love, which is unlimited and infinite, the question of acceptance and rejection does not arise at all. In divine love there is no possession, but only a feeling of oneness. This oneness can enter into an animal, into a flower, into a tree or even into a wall. It is not like human love where today we want to possess one person or thing, tomorrow two persons, the day after tomorrow, three. When we have divine love for someone, at that time there is automatically inseparable oneness. No bridge is required; we just become one.
Divine love tells us that our life is infinitely more important than we imagine. Divine love means constant transcendence, not only of our human boundaries, but of God's own Realisation in and through us.
In divine love, we grow. Divine love, the love of the soul, liberates and expands our consciousness. Love means oneness of divinity, oneness of reality, oneness of the individual consciousness with the unlimited Consciousness. When we enter into the Universal Consciousness through our meditation, we do not think of human love. We think only of divine love and oneness. If we have something small like a tiny knife, then we cannot cut something very big with it. But if we have a very big knife, then we can cut something large with it. The instrument that we are using right now is our very limited consciousness. That is why we are limited in our love. But if we use the other instrument, which is very vast, if we use the Universal Consciousness, our capacity for divine love becomes unlimited.
Divine love will come from God and from our own meditation, but only when we do not cherish expectation. A child expects either a penny or a nickel or a quarter from his father. More than that is beyond his expectation. If he expects from his father all the time, the father will give, but he will give only what the child expects. But if the child feels that whatever his father has is also his, and if he wants only to please his father, then when the father feels that the child is capable of receiving it, he will give the child all his wealth.
I am just learning to feel
That I do not have to actually catch God,
But that someday God will catch me
And pour into my heart
A flood of ineffable Delight.
When we do not expect anything from God, God will give us everything. He will say, "It is I who am giving the infinite Love. How is it that My children remain with very limited capacity, very limited achievement?" In order to prove that He and His children are one, that we are His worthy instruments, He will give us His infinite Peace, Light and Bliss.
When one becomes unconditionally surrendered to God's Will, one gets infinite divine love. Everything will come in the form of love. We will get peace, but it will come in the form of love; and this peace we will offer to mankind through love. Just because we love, we are spreading our peace or power. God Himself manifests everything through Love. Here on earth and there in Heaven, there is only one thing that God is proud of, and that is Love, divine Love.
We pray to God the Power
But God the Lover
Answers our prayers.
How can we feel that God loves us infinitely more than we love ourselves?
The proof of the pudding is in the eating itself. The human in us feels that we are either the lowest or the highest. When it identifies with the lowest, it says, "I am useless, I am nothing." In this way the vital comes forward and tries to gain sympathy. Each time a doubt comes and we feel that we are not God's instrument, we fall short of our capacity. How many times we doubt ourselves, belittle ourselves, kill ourselves! The moment we doubt that God is inside us, a dark spot appears on the golden tablet of our heart. When we do not love ourselves, the face of the sun is covered with clouds. The moment we belittle our capacity and doubt ourselves, the moment we forget what we eternally are, at that time we are millions of miles from the truth. We love ourselves only when we feel that we have achieved something or feel that tomorrow or the day after we are going to do something. This is the human in us.
God is our highest part, our most illumined part. When we enter into our highest consciousness and know that we are in all, of all and for all, at that time we do not doubt ourselves. At that time, we are everything, so who can doubt whom? We embody God and want to reveal and manifest God, so we do not even dream of minimising our capacity. Here we are spontaneously embodying and revealing the divine.
When the real, the highest, the most illumined part in us comes to the fore, at that time we really love ourselves. We love ourselves because we know who we are. Love is not a kind of outer movement or action. Love is life, and life itself is spontaneous nectar and delight. So the Supreme in us, who is infinite Delight, loves us infinitely more than we love ourselves.
/It appears to me that God's Love is conditional, that it depends on whether I meditate and aspire properly or not, or whether I am appreciating it./
Unfortunately, here you are making a mistake. Divine Love is not conditional; it does not depend on what you do. The reason you feel this way is because you do not empty your vessel. When you empty your inner vessel, you will see that love is flowing through you, and then you will feel that your vessel is full to the brim. God's Love does not depend on what you do except in this sense: if you keep the door wide open, then the Highest can enter. But if you do not open your inner door, it is impossible for the highest Reality to enter into you.
Everything that comes from God is unconditional. His Love He gives unconditionally, but somebody has to receive it. The sunlight is unconditional; everybody can receive it. But if you remain fast asleep, if you do not want to open up the windows and doors, then for you there is no sunlight.
I don't understand why God's Love doesn't enter into me even though I keep the doors shut.
If God's Love enters into you when you are not receptive to it, then you will regard it as a foreign element. You will not appreciate it or care for it. If somebody brings most delicious food right in front of you but you do not appreciate it, then you will just discard it and feel that it has no value.
I may not know
What is in God's Mind,
But I do know
What is in God's Heart:
Unconditional Love for me.
Mine is the mind
That is bewildered.
Mine is the heart
That is broken.
Mine is the vital
That is bruised.
Mine is the soul
That is aching.
My Lord,
Yet I feel
That You love me,
Yet I know
That You care for me.
The love that spans the universe
Is not new.
It is old,
And eternal.

As new an R100RT or R100RS or R100GS as you can find.
Not for sure anything older than 1981, as time has moved on and these bikes are firmly in the "quaint" and "difficult" category these days. No longer representative of the 21st century BMW and mostly becoming embarassments.

Certainly nothing embarrassing about a pre-81 air head. I assume the concern is with conventional points ignition, which does require more attention than electronic set up. But that's part of the fun and nostalgia of an older bike. I have owned a 1977 r100rs since 1982. The riding position takes some getting used to and probably won't be right for long-distant, marathon cruising (though some would disagree). I love the r90s also. Really depends and how nostalgic you want to be and what type of riding you are planning. The rt series will put you more upright with a bigger fairing. In any event, any well cared for air head will give years and tens of thousands of miles of reliable service/fun. So pick a bike you like and go for it!
There is no right answer to this, and they're are many opinions...as we've seen and will see. I'll list some information that I've saved from knowledge Airhead people as to their choices for best and worst years. These would be their opinions...I won't go into rationale...in some cases I don't have their rationale.
From Tom Cutter - likes these models and he would choose these in order of preference:
2) 1979 R100S or R100T
4) 1994 R100M Mystic
From Oak:
Oak says best years were 1976, 1979, 1980, 1983, 1984, and 1990 onward.
He says to avoid 1970, 1974, 1981. Models 1984 thru 1994 have the circlip problem in the transmission – it's missing.
From Snowbum: here's the link to descriptions of various models. Embedded in this will be his thoughts for pros/cons:

Greatly appreciate the feedback. I seem to come accross R65's being put up for sale with some frequency, Any particular opions about this model?
I suggest a 85 or newer R80 because the valve issue, brakes, and other problems had been addressed. There are some concern with a circlip missing on the transmisson but my 86 has been a fine reliable machine for the last 13+years. The R80 is said to the the smoothest airhead.
'You can say what you want about the South, but I almost never hear of anyone wanting to retire to the North.
Naked, RS, or RT. Side cases,
Are you going to ride 2 up?
Lots of opinions, but you have to decide what your looking for: Only you can decide what you like and want.

"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."
All post ÔÇÿ81 bikes have a much less vintage feel than the /7s and their predecessors having lightened flywheels, Nikasil cylinders, 87 octane unleaded friendly (in theory from ÔÇÿ80 or so, but in practice from the ÔÇÿ85 model year on), Brembo brakes and electronic ignitions. Monolevers came in across the range in ÔÇÿ85 (on R80ST and R80G/S a few years earlier) and offer better handing than the earlier twin shock bikes. The ÔÇÖ87 on R100GS models and ÔÇÖ91 on R100R Paralevers are another handling and braking step forward, particularly the latter with four-pot front calipers, single disc for ÔÇÿ91/2, twin disk ÔÇÖ93 on. If the trip/weather suits, I ride my ÔÇÖ93 R100R in preference to my ÔÇÖ94 R100RT ÔÇô the handling/stopping advantages of the former make for a much more enjoyable trip.
The twin-shock R65s are fun. I had an ÔÇÖ85 - one of the last. More compact than the 800 and 1,000 of the same era, and a little tauter ride. Perfect around town, but marginal on a loaded up long run ÔÇô one reason why it is common to see one even now with less than 25,000 miles on the clock. Some parts availability quirks. Typically cheaper to buy than the larger bikes.
Unless it was a really good bike at a really good price, I would avoid the mono-lever R65 that were introduced at the end of ÔÇÖ85. This era used the same monolever frame/cycle parts as the bigger bikes, so you give up the nimbleness of the small twin-shock for a larger heavier bike that may have slightly better handing. Few of these R65s were sold in the day as the R80s made much more sense to most buyers.

Your are right Kent, my representitve K1200LT is laying out under the carport in pieces again while I try to find "yet" one more gremlin in the electrical department. It has ran all of 134 miles this year due to "questionable engineering issues".................. 21st century my wallet.
Oh, thats right. My R60 is in pieces as well. Wait a minute, I'm sorry, it was running perfectly, as it has for the last forty years. I just decided to finally refurbish it simply because it deserves it. The LT is gone as soon as it is fit to sell. I'm looking for another airhead after the Lt is gone because it really does appear as though BMW has forgotten to leave the dance with the one who brought them.

I used to have a R60/6 and loved it. For a twin it was super smooth and you will never find any bike as simple to work on. Underpowered for two up rides though.
Now I own a K bike, but nothing is quite like a slash 6 or 7 boxer.

Note from admin: Split from this thread --JBI
It doesn't work that way. Simple tests can be done that completely throw out the whole notion of your computer simply outputting a pure sound. Adjusting volume on a digital stream itself is processing. How a sound card and its drivers decide how to change the volume levels itself is processing. Upmixing from a stereo output to surround sound is processing. Going from surround sound with 7.1 or 5.1 to headphones is processing.
IF a computer functioned as pass through without any adjustments to the sound stream all sound cards would sound identical. But you can even get modified versions of Creative drivers that make things sound different (not an adjusted EQ). How the sound card interprets and decides to output content is processing in and of itself and they all aren't the same. I went out of my way to test that and even wrote about those experiences in the Titanium HD thread.
Drivers are software, they also determine how computer hardware is used. It's entirely possible for drivers to process some of the above in hardware. It doesn't need EAX or OpenAL. Nvidia and AMD do the same exact thing. There is more then one layer to software.
It is entirely possible to do direct output for a DVD or such with the help of codecs like AC3filter, which allows you to setup a passthrough, but in a computers native condition it does not function simply as a passthrough for sound.

CARSON, Calif. –LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena confirmed on Tuesday that Jack McBean underwent surgery for a fractured left clavicle suffered during the 51st minute of the LA Galaxy's 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake.
The injury occurred after McBean collided with RSL center back Nat Borchers leading him to be substituted for fellow Homegrown forward Gyasi Zardes two minutes later. No timetable has been set for McBean's return.
The 18-year-old forward had become a regular in the Galaxy rotation by appearing in ten matches across all competitions including five starts all coming in MLS play. McBean even began to contribute on the scoresheet as he notched two goals and two assists, one of which came in LA's win over RSL.
On Tuesday in the club's first training session since the victory, Landon Donovan expressed his disappointment for McBean.
"I was bummed for Jack, he's played really well," He's been here a couple of years now and trained well, played well for the reserve team, now he's getting his chance to play. It was a bummer for him, but it is part of the game, but he'll come back and be ready."
When asked if McBean's injury may provide the youngster with an smidgen of perspective after his run of form, Donovan agreed.
"He's young and he just wants to keep playing and playing and it's frustrating when he's doing well so and that happens. He'll be fine and sometimes it's good to take a step back, I agree, but we know that he'll come back and be ready."
