No. 93,1091
RAY ROBERTS, et al.,
1. To the extent that the district court has rejected a constitutional challenge to a statute or regulation, we have unlimited review.
2. A law violates the Ex Post Facto Clause of the United States Constitution if two critical elements are present: the law must be retrospective and it must change the definition of criminal conduct or increase the penalty for the criminal conduct.
3. K.A.R. 44-5-115(b) does not violate the Ex Post Facto Clause. The Kansas Legislature did not intend that supervision fees be punitive, and the fees are not so extreme as to constitute punishment. The supervision fees assessed to an inmate are modest, and the regulation specifically exempts indigent offenders. Finally, collection of the supervision fees is reasonably related to legitimate penological interests, i.e. holding offenders accountable for their actions, and the fees bear a rational relation to the goal of compensating the State of Kansas for its costs.
Appeal from Greenwood District Court; JOHN E. SANDERS, judge. Opinion filed April 1, 2005. Affirmed.
Joseph E. Jacklovich, Sr., appellant pro se.
Julie St. Peter, of the Kansas Department of Corrections, for appellee.
Before GREENE, P.J., GREEN and CAPLINGER, JJ.
GREENE, J.: Joseph E. Jacklovich, Sr., appeals the district court's summary denial of his K.S.A. 2004 Supp. 60-1501 petition wherein he claimed that K.A.R. 44-5-115(b) violates the constitutional prohibition on ex post facto laws. We reject his claim and affirm the district court.
Jacklovich is serving a term of postrelease supervision in Sedgwick County for crimes committed in 1993. Subsequent to his convictions, the Kansas Legislature enacted K.S.A. 75-52,139 authorizing the Secretary of Corrections to adopt regulations for the assessment of fees to offenders for various services provided. Pursuant to this authorization, the Secretary promulgated K.A.R. 44-5-115(b) assessing a supervision service fee of $25 per month on offenders under the Department of Corrections' parole supervision, effective January 3, 1995. Because the regulation became effective after Jacklovich's convictions, he filed his K.S.A. 2004 Supp. 60-1501 petition arguing that the regulation violates the constitutional prohibition on ex post facto laws. In a ruling from the bench, the district court summarily denied his petition, finding that the supervision fees neither enhanced the penalty imposed nor made an act previously committed a crime after the fact.
To the extent that the district court has rejected a constitutional challenge to a statute or regulation, we have unlimited review of the constitutional claim. See State v. Watson, 273 Kan. 426, 428, 44 P.3d 357 (2002); State v. Ponce, 258 Kan. 708, 709, 907 P.2d 876 (1995).
The Ex Post Facto Clause of the United States Constitution, Art. I, § 10, forbids legislative enactments which impose a punishment for an act which was not punishable when it was committed or which impose additional punishments to those then proscribed. A law is ex post facto if two critical elements are present: the law must be retrospective and it must change the definition of criminal conduct or increase the penalty for the criminal conduct. Anderson v. Bruce, 274 Kan. 37, 42-43, 50 P.3d 1 (2002).
Our Supreme Court addressed a similar constitutional challenge to a related section of the same regulation in Roark v. Graves, 262 Kan. 194, 195-98, 936 P.2d 245 (1997), where the court held that a $1 monthly fee imposed to administer an inmate trust account pursuant to K.A.R. 44-5-115(a) (1996 Supp.) did not violate the Ex Post Facto Clause. In its analysis, the court cited Senate Judiciary Committee testimony by then Secretary of Corrections Charles Simmons given in support of the bill which ultimately resulted in the enactment of K.S.A. 75-52,139. Simmons' testimony described how an offender's contribution to the costs of his or her incarceration and supervision held the person accountable for his or her actions, and the court found the regulation was reasonably related to that goal. Roark reasoned the fee was for services rendered, was not excessive, and was reasonably related to penalogical goals; therefore, it was not an additional punishment. 262 Kan. at 196-98.
Although not cited by the parties, two Kansas federal district court decisions have rejected claims identical to Jacklovich's ex post facto claim. In Taylor v. Sebelius, 350 F. Supp. 2d 888 (D. Kan. 2004), a state prison inmate brought suit alleging, inter alia, collection of the $25 monthly supervision fee from parolees under K.A.R. 44-5-115(b) violated his rights under the Ex Post Facto Clause. In granting summary judgment against the inmate, the federal district court reasoned as follows:
"The Kansas Supreme Court has held that K.A.R. § 44-5-115(a), which imposes a $1.00 monthly fee to administer an inmate trust account, does not violate the ex post facto clause. See Roark v. Graves, 262 Kan. 194, 196-98, 936 P.2d 245, 247-48 (1997). Specifically, Roark held that '[t]he fee is charged for services rendered, has not been shown to be excessive, is reasonably related to legitimate penological goals, and is not an additional punishment.' [262 Kan.] at 198, 936 P.2d at 248. Roark relied in part on the testimony of Charles Simmons, former Secretary of KDOC, who testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of the bill which authorized the collection of fees for services from offenders in KDOC custody. Simmons testified in part as follows:
'Assessing fees to offenders is based on a belief that offenders should be accountable for their actions, and contributing to the costs of incarceration or supervision are important components of establishing that accountability.'
[262 Kan.] at 196, 936 P.2d at 247-48. Roark concluded that K.A.R. § 44-5-115(a) is reasonably related to the goals outlined by Simmons and that the procedure reasonably prepares inmates for reentry into the social and economic system of the community upon leaving the correctional institution. See [262 Kan.] at 196, 936 P.2d at 248.
"Like the monthly maintenance fee in Roark, the $25.00 monthly supervision fee for parolees does not violate the ex post facto clause. Both fees are based on the same authorizing statute, K.S.A. § 75-52, 139, and are part of the same regulation, K.A.R. § 44-5-115(a)-(b). Based on Roark and other cases which have addressed parole supervision fees, the monthly supervision fee cannot be described as punitive in nature. See Glaspie v. Little, 564 N.W.2d 651, 654 (N.D. 1997) ($30.00 monthly fee to defray cost of supervision is civil fee for services); Taylor v. State of R.I., 101 F.3d 780, 783-84 (1st Cir. 1996) ($15.00 monthly supervision fee was civil, not criminal, in nature); Frazier v. Mont. State Dep't of Corrs., 277 Mont. 82, 920 P.2d 93, 95-96 (1996) ($10.00 monthly supervision fee was 'civil administrative fee,' not punishment); Pennsylvania v. Nicely, 536 Pa. 144, 638 A.2d 213, 216 (1994) ($25.00 monthly supervisory fee is administrative in nature and not intended to be punitive). The Kansas legislature did not intend that the fee be punitive and the fee is not so extreme as to constitute punishment. See Taylor, 101 F.3d at 783. The supervision fee is modest and the regulation specifically exempts indigent offenders. Finally, collection of the supervision fee is reasonably related to legitimate penological interests, i.e. holding offenders accountable for their actions, see Roark, 262 Kan. at 197, 936 P.2d at 247-48, and the fee bears a rational relation to the goal of compensating the State of Kansas for its costs. See Taylor, 101 F.3d at 784. Because the monthly supervision fee is not punitive in nature, the Court sustains defendants' motion for summary judgment on plaintiff's ex post facto claim." Taylor, 350 F. Supp. 2d at 896.
In Ingram v. Sebelius, 2005 WL 327149 (D. Kan. 2005) (unpublished opinion filed February 10, 2005), a prison inmate made an identical claim, and the Ingram court applied the same rationale and reached the same conclusion.
For support of his position on appeal, Jacklovich points to Taylor v. State of R.I. Dept. of Corrections, 908 F. Supp. 92 (D. R.I. 1995) (cited, limited, and distinguished in Roark, 262 Kan. at 197-98), where the court concluded the imposition of a $15 post-release fee was an ex post facto violation. However, Jacklovich's reliance on Taylor is misplaced; the opinion cited was reversed on appeal in Taylor v. State of Rhode Island, 101 F.3d 780, 784-85 (1st Cir. 1996), cert denied 521 U.S. 1104 (1997). On appeal, the First Circuit Court of Appeals looked to the subjective and objective tests found in United States v. Halper, 490 U.S. 435, 104 L. Ed. 2d 487, 109 S. Ct. 1892 (1989), in holding the $15 fee was not punitive. The court found the fee was a civil one and its purpose was to offset costs incurred by the State in servicing the supervision of parolees and probationers. Moreover, the court found the legislature's intent in defraying the department of corrections' costs was remedial because the fees were placed in an account to defray costs; thus, its effect was neither retributive nor deterrent in nature. Taylor, 101 F.3d at 783-85; see Halper, 490 U.S. at 448 (monetary assessments that are not remedial but instead serve retributive or deterrent purposes are punishment). Obviously, this Rhode Island case was resolved on appeal in a manner entirely consistent with the Kansas federal district court cases discussed above, and it provides no support for Jacklovich's claims.
We adopt the rationale of our Kansas federal district court in Taylor and Ingram based significantly upon the reasoning in Roark, 262 Kan. at 196-98, and conclude that K.A.R. 44-5-115(b) does not violate the constitutional prohibition on ex post facto laws; thus, we affirm the district court's summary denial of the 60-1501 petition.
1REPORTER'S NOTE: Previously filed as an unpublished opinion, the Supreme Court granted a motion to publish pursuant to Rule 7.04 (2004 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 47). The published version was filed with the Clerk of the Appellate Courts on May 26, 2005.

Pizza Protips: A Different Sort of Peel
When people talk about using baking stones for pizza or bread, the one issue that consistently rears its ugly head is the need to get the pizza—or bread—onto the stone. Pizza peels are made for the task, but it takes a certain amount of practice and confidence to get the unbaked item off the peel and into the oven.
A dusting of cornmeal and semolina on the peel will act like tiny ball bearings and help "lubricate" the movement of the dough. However, they do introduce an additional flavor and texture into the equation. Along with that comes the residual effect that whatever isn't directly under your baked goods might burn. That is more of a concern if you're baking several items in sequence; the burned bits from the first round of baking can end up under items in subsequent rounds.
Even the most experienced bakers will produce dough that is a little too slack or slightly over-risen bread, making pizza peel maneuvers more challenging. Pizzas ends up misshapen, or the bread collapses from too vigorous a snap of the peel. Poor aim lands items partway off the stone, or a misplaced first loaf leaves little space for a second loaf. Using a peel takes confidence, but unless you bake a lot, it's hard to gain that confidence. And all the confidence in the world can't make up for clumsiness, so a touch of gracefulness helps as well.
There are those that advocate using parchment paper under pizza, but my recent tests show that it has some affect on the crispness of the crust. Baking sheets are fine for many breads, and for some styles of pizza. For others, it's not recommended. Pizza screens offer yet another option. But sometimes you just want naked dough directly on a hot stone.
When I first heard of the Super Peel, it seemed a little silly to me. Do we need another gadget? Well, if you don't already have a peel, it's not another gadget. The Super Peel is a loop of fabric that acts as a sort of conveyor belt to move the dough on and off the peel. It takes a little practice to get the movement right for a smooth transition, but it's not a steep learning curve. The first instinct is to move the conveyor-belt-cloth to pull the dough up, but that will stretch the dough. If you move the peel under the dough while keeping your other hand (holding the conveyor-belt-cloth) in the same place, the dough slides up onto the peel.
Moving the dough off of the peel and onto the stone is the opposite motion. Once you get the hang of it, it makes perfect sense and it gets easier.
Admittedly, I like the showmanship of getting a pizza off of a peel in one deft movement and having it emerge from the oven perfectly round. Then again, my overconfidence with a peel recently sent a perfectly good pizza into the ashes of a wood-fired oven, so my peel skills aren't as honed as I sometimes think think they are.
The benefit of the Super Peel isn't just that you can get the dough on and off the peel, but that you can do it slowly and gently. That's a huge asset if you're dealing with a puffy loaf of bread that might be just a bit fragile. And if your pizza is about the same size as your stone, you can place that pizza much more precisely with a lot less practice.
Is the Super Peel for everyone? No, obviously not. If you're moving pizzas around like an expert, there's no need to invest in this sort of peel. Like parchment paper and pizza screens, it's a bit of a crutch. But unlike the parchment and the pizza screen, this particular crutch doesn't affect the crispness of the crust.
The standard Super Peel sells for $48.

From the juiced-box and dedicated to the Bieby: The Murder City Devils – Alcohol
[Press 'Play' for the "story about a sinner / He used to be a winner … It turned him to the booze"]
January 2, 2013: You Better Belieb It
Remember how i'm a great investigative journalist? It's OK if you forgot 'cause i'm gonna remind here with this shocking story that Justin Beiber killed a man. Not with his own bare hands, of course, the only thing Leave it to Bieber could kill is a buzz but he has enough cash to pay for the sins of all mankind so he for sure has enough to pay for the sin of murder.
Justin Cider bumped off the papparazzo who was following him the afternoon of January 1, 2013. Why? Because the pap smear wanted proof the little Beiby smoked weed? Are you kidding? Did you not know marijuana is now for all intensive purposes legal everywhere in the United States? Besides, Justinches clearly has a medical prescription for his stunted mental and physical growth. However, look at this picture more closely.
You see that on the table in front of him? i fuckin' hope so because i circled it in red and drew a giant arrow right at it for you. It's a bottle of Corona Extra beer. This means that child starlette Justin Bieber had one of his marijuana thug friends whack the photographer to hide the terrible secret Bieber was willing to kill to keep: Justin Bieber broke the law by drinking underage.
You kinda heard it hear first except you read it.

One more shout out, this time to all you Beer Maids and Barhounds. Sometime earlier this month (i was too busy being sober to notice exactly when), the Bar None crossed the line of 3,000,000 patronizers. Now that's a lot of zeroes, and i appreciate you being one of them.
i opened the Bar None on July 19, 2009 and even in the drunkest of dreams i never could have imagined that only 3½ short years later i would be serving up this shit to over 3,000,000 drinkers, drunks, and alcoholics anonymous. i'm humbled and buzzing with gratitude.
Go here for a complete list of all my websites on one page so you don't miss out on any of my shit.

An expert on poverty in New Brunswick says unemployment for young adults has jumped by five per cent this year.
Randy Hatfield said youth unemployment is approaching levels seen in the poorer parts of Europe.
"The ticking time bomb in my opinion is youth unemployment," said Hatfield, the executive director of the Saint John Human Development Council.
Hatfield spoke in Moncton on Saturday at a summit on poverty. He said youth unemployment for people under the age of 24 has reached 20 per cent. That's a jump of 5 per cent in just one year. Hatfield said that number doesn't include young people who've already left the province.
18-year-old Morgan Wilbur was surprised by the numbers. She thought the number would be much higher because she's been looking for work for months.
"I have been actually since June and I don't know, it's not going over too well," said Wilbur. "I've been applying all across Moncton."
Wilbur lives on her own and has had part-time jobs at call centres and at Crystal Palace. But those jobs didn't pay her enough and she's had to depend on the food bank.
That's not what she expected growing up in Moncton.
"I never expected to be really, really well off, like make a lot of money or anything, but I didn't expect to be scrounging for the bare minimum," said Wilbur.
Wilbur says she can't leave for Ontario or Alberta because she hasn't been able to save the money to do that.
"Hopefully I can eventually get out of here."

An exciting new project has cropped up in our community!
The Burnie Journey: An RT Community Docuventure!!!
Docventure = Documentary + ADVENTURE!

From a recent post by @lozelda
It seems to come up in waves. This is not a new topic for the RT Community, and it's not a new topic for me. Somehow we have to keep circling back to it, and somehow it seems to be a little bit worse every time.
The harassment has to stop.
There have been a number of journals from various members of the community over the last 2 weeks on this, from those who have been harassed and from those who have witnessed it or seen the aftermath it causes. This is something that strikes me in a personal way, and to say I have "strong feelings" on it is an understatement. However, only so much can be said with a monologue. With the frequency at which community members are being driven away from the site, a speech is only so effective.
At this stage, a conversation is much more useful. So that's what we're going to do.
Myself, @SailorTweek, @Newbs, @GB330033, and @desayjin will be sitting down to talk about the RT community and how this issue is plaguing it, and we invite you to be a part of the discussion. We will be streaming the call, and will be keeping an active eye on the chat to address any comments from the community. If you have any comments or stories of your own that you would like to share with us ahead of time for the purposes of the conversation, please let one of us know!
The stream will be at 7PM EST on Tuesday, October 7 here. I will be posting the link again both here and on Twitter when it goes live. This is something that is important to us as a community, and the more of us that can be a part of the discussion on what needs to change, the faster we can make that change happen and make the community a better place for everyone.
Join us in this important discussion. Our community is one of the most incredible, giving, hard working, and creative in existence. Let's strive to make it one of the safest.

Where you born to take it easy? Are you hardwired to take naps when theres work to be done? Do you excel at irritating Sarge? - If any one of these things appeals to you (or you really like the color orange, or playing with hammers of unusual size) then Griftoberfest is the event for you!
Read on for the scoop on how to celebrate this joyous occasion complete with tips and ideas on how to enhance your Griftoberfest experience! (Contest details follow the how-to section!)
Griftoberfest may be celebrated in person or online via XBL, Skype, Google, TinyChat, etc.
Pick a date / time in October then message your friends with the details.
Every participant should wear something orange (check the RT store for Grifball merchandise!)
This is a day of laziness, so minimal work should be done.
For food, keep it simple: ..PIZZA, spaghetti.. - Keeping the orange theme going ..snack on some Cheese puffs / cheetos. etc. Get creative! Make protect-me-cone cupcakes or cookies using candycorn!
Bonus points if your party features: "individually wrapped snack cakes and cheese dip†–shoutout to @LadyDonut for pointing out that reference last year!
Beverages: whatever you like that doesn't involve much effort
The tipsy version: bring out the beer and screwdrivers! its not a real screwdriver so no need to worry if Grif knows how to use one. (if you choose to include alcohol in your celebrations, please drink legally and responsibly!)
Now throw yourself on the couch and get ready for some Grifball action!
(when your guests are depending on you to get the festivities started, feel free to sneak away and take a nap!)
Dont have an Xbox or play Grifball? No problem
Pick a season of RvB to watch with your friends. You could even make a game of trying to count how many times Grif avoids work or sneaks off for a nap
Tipsy version: turn the above in to a drinking game
Photos and or Video footage of your Griftoberfest event are highly encouraged!
Images and links can be posted in this thread here.
Finding a lack of orange in your closet? Hit the internet or some local stores (thrift stores are handy for low budgets too) clothing is just one option, maybe try orange suspenders or an orange wig.
Check out the store at Grifball Hub for some awesome "Get Hammered†tees!
Feeling crafty or creative? We are also running a COMMUNITY CONTEST and we want to see your unique interpretations of Grif celebrating the holiday made in his honor!
Please post your entries in this thread HERE and we will pick a few favorites to feature in the community news.
The weekend of the 26th of October, I plan to host a "live†online streaming for Griftoberfest. More details to be posted closer to the event date, but there will be a lot of Grifball and edible protect-me-cones and hopefully an opportunity for members of the community to join the fun along with us!

Just a reminder that you should take advantage of that shiny new(ish) "Events†feature on the RT site. Great for finding out what upcoming events the RT / AH staff will be present at as well as seeing what fan hosted meet-ups may be happening near you. Attend an existing event, or start one of your own!
Here's a peek at what's going down this October:
Oct 5th: RTMI (Michigan) meetup (food, friends, trivia, games & more!)
Event page located HERE. Hosted by @stevewhalley
RT group page is HERE. There is also another RT Michigan group HERE, run by @LoZelda, @JoeFace and @WhE3ker. (it is awesome all of you, both groups, are interested in bringing fans in MI together, you should consider combining your groups in to one and and working together! )
Oct 10 – 13th: New York ComicCon (staff presence)
Event page is HERE.
Oct 19 – 20: RvB: OR (musical guest: Jeff Rupert)
Event page is HERE, RT group is HERE.
pssst... rumor has it there may be a surprise second special guest at this year's event!
For some reason the RvB:OR event is not showing on the October Calendar, but the link above should get you to directly the event page if your interested in attending.
This year RvB:OR will be featuring musical guest: @RupertJeff, that
naughty sweet-souled, smooth voiced singer / song-writer who has recently been working on a project with RvB rock sensation Jeff @Williams (can that man put on a spectacularly energetic show or what!? If you were at the RTX music-mixer in 2012 you KNOW what I'm talking about!)
(image credit: @John Sedlack)
Aside from getting serenaded by Jeff Rupert, there are plenty of other great reasons not to miss RvB:OR. Oregon is beautiful state; lots to explore outdoors plus lots to see and do in town (especially Portland if youre a fan of having a plethora of local brews to indulge in!). This will be an ALL AGES event so don't worry about that! But there is plenty to keep everyone entertained.
This year RvB:OR is hosted by three of the hardest working individuals I have ever had the pleasure of meeting: @BaghdadBean, @KarliBean and @RagingTerror (Nathan). They can barely find time to sleep, but they pooled efforts together to organize this event for YOU, the community. If you see them, please thank your hosts!
By the community, for the community!

VMware buys virsto, is it about storage hypervisors?February 12, 2013 – 8:06 pm
Yesterday VMware announced that it is acquiring the IO performance optimization and acceleration software vendor Virsto for an undisclosed amount.
Some may know Virsto due to their latching and jumping onto the Storage Hypervisor bandwagon as part of storage virtualization and virtual storage. On the other hand, some may know Virsto for their software that plugs into server virtualization Hypervisor such as VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V. Then there are all of those who either did not or still don't know of Virsto or their solutions yet they need to learn about it.
Unlike virtual storage arrays (VSAa), or virtual storage appliances, or storage virtualization software that aggregates storage, the Virsto software address the IO performance aggravation caused by aggregation.
Keep in mind that the best IO is the IO that you do not have to do. The second best IO is the one that has the least impact and that is cost effective. A common approach, or preached best practice by some vendors server virtualization and virtual desktop infrastructures (VDI) that result in IO bottlenecks is to throw more SSD or HDD hardware at the problem.
Turns out that the problem with virtual machines (VMs) is not just aggregation (consolidation) causing aggravation, it's also the mess of mixed applications and IO profiles. That is where IO optimization and acceleration tools come into play that are plugged into applications, file systems, operating systems, hypervisor's or storage appliances.
In the case of Virsto (read more about their solution here), their technology plugs into the hypervisor (e.g. VMware vSphere/ESX or Hyper-V) to group and optimize IO operations.
By using SSD as a persistent cache, tools such as Virsto can help make better use of underlying storage systems including HDD and SSD, while also removing the aggravation as a result of aggregation.
What will be interesting to watch is to see if VMware continues to support other hypervisor's such as Microsoft Hyper-V or close the technology to VMware only.
It will also be interesting to see how VMware and their parent EMC can leverage Virsto technology to complement virtual SANs as well as VSAs and underlying hardware from VFcache to storage arrays with SSD and SSD appliances as opposed to compete with them.
With the Virsto technology now part of VMware, hopefully there will be less time on talking about storage hypervisor's and more around server IO optimization and enablement to create broader awareness for the technology.
Congratulations to VMware (and EMC) along with Virsto.
Ok, nuff said.
Cheers gs

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – A 14-game win streak came to a close for the No. 1 Georgia College baseball team (17-3) Tuesday night, falling to Ohio Dominican University (2-2) 11-3 at John Kurtz Field.
The Panthers pounded out 16 hits and 11 runs while not committing a single error.
GC scored first with a run in the first, when rightfielder Shawn Ward (Evans, Ga.) tripled home centerfielder Patrick Daugherty (Kennesaw, Ga.) who had led off with a double. The Panthers then responded with an 11-run rally before the Bobcats scored again in the eighth.
ODU starter Alex Borgan threw seven strong innings, allowing just one run on four hits, fanning six and walking a pair.
GC had just seven hits, led by Daugherty and leftfielder Josh Young (Lake Havasu City, Ariz.) with a pair each. Daugherty was 2-for-2 with a run and RBI, while Young hit 2-for-3, driving in one.
Junior righty Walker McKinven (Lake Bluff, Ill.) took the loss (0-1), throwing just 3 1/3 innings with five runs. The loss also ends a 10-game win streak at home.
The Panthers had six multi-hit performers, including a 3-for-4 effort with an RBI and two runs from catcher JT Feldkamp. The 6-through-9 batters in the order had a combined eight hits, seven RBI and six runs scored.

Sometimes when we look at artwork, paths appear to be continuous, but when we modify the path thickness, we can see sharp edges where the path ends are near one another. It's then that we realize that the path is not continuous, but is composed of multiple segments, or open paths. In these situations, it can make perfect sense to connect, or join the open ends.
Adobe Illustrator CS5 delivers new capabilities for joining paths that simplifies the process and adds new options for the joins.
This post explores all the available ways to join paths in Illustrator CS5.
1) Pen Tool: If you want full control over how anchor points of the same path or different paths are to be joined, this is the way to go. But if the anchor points you're trying to join are "overlapping," don't use the Pen tool, instead, choose another method outlined below. Joining paths with the Pen tool did not change in Illustrator CS5.
First, select the Pen tool, then click on the first endpoint to be joined. Now click on the other endpoint to be joined. When you precisely position the Pen tool over the other endpoint, a small merge symbol appears next to the pointer. If you click and drag after these clicks, you'll get the control handles that help you adjust the path's curve. If these endpoints are on separate paths, the final path will have the appearance of the last path clicked with the Pen tool.
2) Object>Path>Join (Cmd+J on Mac, or Ctrl+J on Win): Illustrator CS5 adds new functionality to this method, and makes joining two distantly-placed anchor points really easy. In fact, I now use this method for joining paths more often than the Pen tool.
The rule for using this join command is simple:
Select the objects to be joined (yes, objects, not the anchor points), then choose Object>Path>Join (Cmd /Ctrl + J). The nearest anchor points will be connected.
And if you want to join "preferred" anchor points? Simple. Just select the desired anchor points and press Cmd or Ctrl + J.
3) Join overlapping anchor points (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Opt+J): There is no change in this functionality for Illustrator CS5 except for the new keyboard shortcut. Using this shortcut will open a dialog to choose either a Corner or Smooth option. A Smooth join is possible only when the end-points are smooth (i.e. both have handles).
And finally, what does it take to close an open path? Well, try it for yourself.

Lifecell Scam
Buy Lifecell
Lifecell Scam? This is certainly the question that is filling the thoughts of many people who are seeking to get an anti-wrinkle answer. From all the Life Cell Reviews it is genuinely tough to determine if Lifecell really works or if it is all only propaganda to showcase the merchandise. Needless to say, the attractiveness of the Lifecell deal is that an individual is able to participate in a free Lifecell trial prior to committing themselves to the skincare cream. This enables the customer to make a private judgment rather than merely believing the Life Cell reviews from celebs & royalty. Lifecell showcases itself as being the only anti-aging product an individual will ever need to reverse the clock on their aging skin. Matter in fact, they describe their anti-aging skin product as the "stealth technology" inside the skincare market- since it really is able to literally remove the appearance of wrinkles in seconds. This claim seems outlandish but when an individual explores the science backing this hard to believe declaration it is very evident that it is authentic. Clearly, if an individual wants to resolve the Lifecell scam question then they should participate in the free evaluation period & observe whether the anti aging outcome are as gorgeous as Life Cell reviews describe.

Staff Writer
When Jo Rapisarda, the owner of
, wanted to incorporate the arts into the side of her business wall outdoors on Center Street, she did not know how she would approach the project at first.
"The wall was vacant, and I wanted to incorporate the arts into the community," said Rapisarda, who opened her business in 2010.
When she heard of local artist Mary DeCroce, who is in charge of the "Harvest the Arts" festivities during the Apple Harvest Festival, Rapisarda contacted her. With a grant from the Greater Hartford Council of Arts, DeCroce, along with four local artists, brought the wall to life with a mural.
This past summer DeCroce and her artists met with Rapisarda during a brainstorming session to decide on a theme for the mural. After contemplating with her boyfriend, who has koi fish tattooed on his arm, Rapisarda decided on a theme that DeCroce and her artists soared with: the Japanese legend of the koi fish.
"So many people are into Asian art, Rapisarda said." "It is a classic. It never goes away."
According to DeCroce, the legend goes as follows: hundreds of koi fish swim up the Yellow River, and as a waterfall emerges, many of them turn away in doubt, feeling discouraged by its large size. But 360 fish stay on their journey, leaping and splashing. As they continue to leap towards the fall, demons from the sky increase the height of the water. After 100 years pass by, one fish jumps high enough and becomes a golden dragon, representing the symbols of dedication and strength.
"Their work ethic and capability was amazing," DeCroce said. "It is such an inspiring story. It shows the perseverance of a human being."
Each artist worked on a separate parcel that represents each major part of the story.
For local artist Katie Mackenzie, who worked on the final panel, the message of the mural served as a transformative segment.
"I really enjoyed the part I spent the most time on, the river and the hand," Mackenzie said. "Personally I took the story of the koi fish's journey to become a dragon as a metaphor for enlightenment."
When she saw the finished masterpiece, Rapisarda said she felt captivated by the artwork.
"It was beautiful," said Rapisarda, who saw the progress of the project from beginning to end. "I am so proud of it from start to finish."
For Rapisarda, displaying the mural outside her business serves as a form of appreciation for body art, especially tattoos. She said people who walk by her business have expressed interest in the mural, admiring its beauty.
"It is nice to see that people appreciate it," said Rapisarda, who works with three other staff members, including a nurse who does piercings.
Besides the mural, DeCroce also designed and decorated a recycled bike that represents the golden dragon, which the 45th annual Apple Harvest Festival featured in its bike parade.

The Story Behind Duckpin Bowling
I grew up with Duckpin bowling. My brothers, sisters and I used to bowl at the old Vilma and Seidel alleys on Belair road. We were even in the after school leagues at the old Fair Lanes on Perring Parkway. It's fun to see the reactions of people who have never experienced Duckpin bowling before…
Duckpin bowling was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1900 and it was one of Babe Ruth's favorite games! Because it was much harder to get strikes and spares, the rules were changed to allow three bowls on each turn but only counted as a score of ten if all ten pins were knocked down with the third ball. Duckpins became so popular that during the 1920′s duckpin bowling spread along the east coast, fromNew England toGeorgia.
For a brief history of how this game started~ the following excerpt is taken from The Book of Duckpin Bowling, by Henry Fankhauser and Frank Micalizzi:
The sport of duckpins was born at the old Diamond Alleys on Howard Street in Baltimore, Maryland. Diamond Alleys was owned by a couple of members of the old Baltimore Orioles minor league club — Uncle Wilbert Robinson and John McGraw (you may remember McGraw as manager of baseball's New York Giants in the early 1900′s).
At the turn of the century, bowling leagues operated only during the winter months. In the summer, many centers closed down. However, a few centers (including Diamond Alleys) remained open for open play during the spring and summer. Diamond Alleys had some smaller six inch balls that were used for such off-the-wall games as cocked-hat (using only the 1, 7, and 10 pins) and five back (using the 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 pins).
During one of these matches, Frank Van Sant, the manager at Diamond Alleys, was drawn into a conversation about the small balls. Someone suggested that a set of his old, battered tenpins could be made over into little pins to conform to the six inch ball. Several days later, an old set was sent to John Dettmar, a wood-turner in Baltimore. About ten days later, Van Sant gathered all his regulars and dumped the new little pins in front of them.
Within minutes, the little pins were set up on the tenpin spots and the first unofficial "small ball" game was underway. Only two balls were used, as in tenpins, and score was kept in the same way. When Robinson and McGraw (whose other hobby was duck hunting) saw the pins fly as the ball plowed into them, they remarked that the pins looked like a "flock of flying ducks." Bill Clarke, a sportswriter for the Baltimore Morning Sun, wrote a story on the fascinating new game and christened them "duckpins." The name has stuck ever since.

Leaked Documents Point to Fallout 4's Existence
Though Bethesda didn't announce a new entry in its Fallout series at VGX as rumored, some new documents from a casting call seemingly prove Fallout 4 is really happening. It's just a matter of when.
If you ever wondered how actors were found for video game roles, it appears developers still use the same methods popularized by film and television productions. Such is the case with Bethesda and the casting call that appeared to be for Fallout 4.
Kotaku obtained documents it believes are tied to a new entry in the series, passed onto them by someone who apparently tried out for a role in the supposed sequel. In a handful of script pages, allusions are made to a futuristic Boston and locations like the Institute, the Fallout version of MIT. Many of these details were suspected last year, when news that Bethesda was scouting the Boston area for locations made the rounds. The developer remained quiet on the subject, but it now sounds like the next entry in the sci-fi franchise will take us to the northeast.
Elsewhere in the script, which may or may not have been drafted specifically for the casting call, characters and factions are named. Additionally present are the series' trademark opening lines, "War. War never changes." The script sides were made available for both potential male and female candidates, though it's unclear just how much of what's present will actually make it into the final game.
For now, Bethesda continues to keep its Fallout plans a secret. Hopefully we won't have to wait much longer to find out more, but more importantly, hopefully we won't have to wait long to actually play Fallout 4.


text: Secret Stash Project by Yi-Ting Cheng, filmed and edited by Juriaan Booij This project is about concealing valuables, secrets, bad habits and personal information in our workplaces. Here, hidden spaces/ messages were created within 8 general objects such as wood boards, lamps and disposable coffee cups. Why doing this? We all have the need of hiding. We hide our valuables from being stolen, we conceal our past from our loved ones, we never show our real side to colleagues, we all have secrets. Or, sometimes we just want to keep something only for ourselves. How? Utilize stereotypes and visual camouflage. We make judgments based mainly on our experiences and what we see. This dependency on visual information can create large blind spots. Thus, usual stereotypes of how we perceive solid, transparency and lighting are employed in this project to play with notions of 'solid and void', and 'true and false'. more info please visit http://www.yitingcheng.com

I really think that if we get blown out in this game again, that one or both of these will happen in the next few days:
1) Monty gets fired
2) Murph and another gets traded for Artest.
We only have 2 wins this month, 2! That is unacceptable at any level.

Topic: out of office filter not sending the vacation response
I used RoundCube to create a nice vacation filter, mail gets delivered to the inbox, but no mail is being sent to notify of the vacation. This is the .50 version of iredmail on debian.
It doesn't look like it executes the script at all, it looks in /var/vmail/sieve/, but doesn't seem to look in /var/vmail/sieve/domain/user/ for the roundcube.sieve that gets placed there.
Any ideas?

that mid century dollhouse looks great. i'm a big fan and user of modern classics ...ReplyDelete
This is an awesome setup. Do you have an image of the entire structure? I am sure it is unfinished but am curious about the bones of this house. Please do share. I love the lamps. I just made a lamp out of jute and potpourri pieces (yeah, some cool little pieces in those bags) that reminds me of the orb pendant here. Great lighting...ReplyDelete
This is a ridiculously phenomenal job! Are those rooms really dollhouse rooms and not inspiration pictures? That light fixture in the first picture is awesome.ReplyDelete
Thank you-thank you so much for all the nice comments! The dollhouse is a tudor style that my dad designed/ made when I was little, but it was never completed. I will be posting bigger views of the whole layout, but it's far from finished right now. I still have many more little lamps/ furniture pieces to make :)ReplyDelete
This is AMAZING! It looks so great! I hope it's OK I've included one of your pics and a link to your blog in a post tomorrow for Design Milk. It will be here: http://design-milk.com/milkweed-greening-your-modern-mini-home/ Should be live about 6 am PST. Hope that's OK!ReplyDelete

Story highlights
- NOAA has had to reduce its budget by 7% this fiscal year
- Officials say measures will be taken to staff offices during weather events
- Union has concerns, wonders how offices will be staffed
- The forecast is for an above-average hurricane season
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration offices across the nation may soon have more cloudy days as the forced government spending cuts cause the agency to ask thousands of employees to take unpaid days off.
Proposed four-day furloughs would affect nearly 12,000 people, which includes workers at the Miami-based National Hurricane Center, from July 1 to September 30, in time for what is expected to be an active hurricane season.
NOAA oversees the National Weather Service, the National Marine Fisheries Service, the National Hurricane Center and other offices that provide forecasts, severe weather alerts and other important information to the public.
With fiscal uncertainty and tight budgets hitting government agencies, NOAA had to make tough choices, said the agency's director of communications. NOAA was forced to reduce its fiscal year 2013 budget by 7%.
"Unfortunately, after much serious deliberation, in order to help address current budget shortfalls, we are moving forward ... to implement furloughs across the agency ... unfortunately, furloughs are necessary to help close the gaps," Ciaran Clayton said.
This news comes on top of a NOAA hiring freeze that went into effect in March.
A Republican senator bemoaned the spending cuts, which also took effect in March.
"Sen. (Marco) Rubio has always said that the sequester was dumb, in part because it does not prioritize core public safety functions," said his press secretary, Alex Conant.
Richard Hirn, an attorney for the union that represents NOAA employees, believes the furloughs will harm employees and only bring "minimal savings."
"NOAA's plans to furlough operational employees at the National Weather Service as we enter the severe storm, flood and hurricane season is unnecessary and places the public at great risk," said Hirn, general counsel for the National Weather Service Employees Organization.
Forecasters at Colorado State University have predicted an above-average 2013 Atlantic hurricane season with 18 tropical storms, nine of which are expected to become hurricanes.
NOAA's hurricane hunters, who bear the responsibility of flying into storms and taking crucial data, will still fly this season, although civilian flight crew members will alternately be furloughed.
A primary concern raised by some employees affected by the furloughs are the unexpected events that pop up with little to no warning.
"It is not an average job; you can't tell a tornado to wait 10 minutes because you are doing something else," said Daniel Sobien, president of NWSEO.
States like Florida are assessing the effect of federal forced spending cuts on their ability to prepare for upcoming weather events.
"Gov. (Rick) Scott will provide a full update to local emergency personnel at the governor's hurricane conference in Fort Lauderdale next week," said Frank Collins, a spokesman for the governor.
NOAA administrators said the impact on public services will be "minimized," and if a major weather event requires more staff, furloughs would be canceled.
But the union has its doubts. Sobien said that it would be impossible to fill every shift because 10% of NOAA's positions are vacant and the number is forecasters is down significantly. Where once there were 10 forecasters per office, now many operate with four or five, he said.
The designated furlough dates are July 5, July 19, August 5 and August 30.

Sew a fashionable outfit for your little girl as adorable and one-of-a-kind as she is with Shelly Figueroa, the brainchild behind Figgy's Patterns.
Follow Shelly step-by-step as she makes a romper from her popular "Zephyr" pattern, which can be adapted to create up to five looks, including a pants jumpsuit, separates and a sundress. Shelly shows you how to accurately measure children and adjust patterns for a perfect fit. Learn to choose fabrics that will ensure your child's comfort year-round, as well as when and where to use different types of interfacing. Finish with sophisticated design elements like braided shoulder straps, button loops and hem ties that will elevate your garment from homemade to handmade.
If you're not delighted with your Bluprint experience, we'll make it right or give you a full refund.
