Skip to comments.California Supreme Court Okays Berkeleys Discrimination Against Boy Scout Affiliate (Sea Scouts)
Posted on 03/09/2006 9:56:37 PM PST by freedomdefender
San Francisco,CA; March 09, 2006: The California Supreme Court today ruled against the Berkeley Sea Scouts in Evans v. Berkeley, and upheld the City of Berkeleys discriminatory campaign to force the local nonprofit youth group to end its lifelong affiliation with the Boy Scouts of America.
"The California Supreme Courts decision today unfortunately has given the green light to activist city officials to discriminate against groups they disagree with politically," said Pacific Legal Foundation attorney Harold Johnson, co-counsel in the case. Johnson also represents Sea Scout Tonatiuh Alvarez, one of the plaintiffs and petitioners before the state Supreme Court.
"The decision turns the First Amendment on its head," said Johnson. "Berkeley can declare itself a nuclear free zone, but it cant declare itself a First Amendment free zone. This decision licenses Berkeley to treat people as second-class citizens if they dont sign a loyalty oath to the ruling ideology of Berkeley City Hall."
"The bottom line is that Berkeley officials are punishing the kids that participate in the Sea Scouts to make a political statement, and thats a real tragedy," Johnson said.
"This isnt the first time the California Supreme Court has failed to adequately protect First Amendment rights, but its always disappointing when a court gives its seal of approval to government discrimination and government abridgment of the freedom of association," said PLF's Johnson.
For 50 years, the Sea Scouts have taught Bay Area kids to sail, and learn carpentry and plumbing by working on the Scouts ship in the Berkeley Marina. Like other local nonprofits, Berkeley allowed the group to berth at the marina for free. But in 1998, Berkeley officials demanded the group sever its affiliation with the Boy Scouts. Berkeley officials were retaliating against the Boy Scouts because of the groups traditional values and membership policies--even though the those policies are protected by the First Amendment, according to the United States Supreme Court.
When the Sea Scouts declined to end their lifelong relationship with the Boy Scouts, Berkeley ended a half-century tradition of granting the Sea Scouts a free berth and began charging the group a $500 a month fee.
As a result, the retired high school teacher who is skipper of the Sea Scouts ship must pay the fee out of his pocket. Before the fee was imposed, he covered the membership and activities costs for teenagers from low-income neighborhoods, something he can no longer afford to do. So while many minority, low-income Sea Scouts members have had to drop out of the popular youth program, free berthing is still being allowed for other groups, including the Berkeley Yacht Club, the Cal Sailing Club, and the Nautilus Institute.
PLF argued that Berkeleys fee amounts to a fine for exercising First Amendment freedoms, specifically the Sea Scouts right to associate with the Boy Scouts of America. Under both the state and federal constitutions, government may not punish individuals or private organizations for exercising their First Amendment rights. But that is precisely what Berkeley is doing to the Sea Scouts by singling them out for exclusion from the citys program that allows free use of the marina for nonprofits.
As Justice Roger Traynor of the California Supreme Court wrote in a famous freedom-of- expression case (Danskin v. San Diego Unified School District (1946)), once government creates a program or facility for the public, "it cannot demand tickets of admission in the form of convictions and affiliations that it deems acceptable."
About Pacific Legal Foundation Pacific Legal Foundation is a nonprofit, public interest legal organization that litigates nationwide in defense of individual rights and limited government. PLF has supported the Boy Scouts First Amendment rights in a number of high profile cases.
Berkeley is charging them a fee because they are Boy Scouts and Boy Scouts aren't politically correct. Other nonprofits get free use, so this is discrimination based on ideology. Unfair. Unconstitutional. Unfreakin unbelievable that the Cal SUpreme Court would say this is OK.
Guess it takes a constitutional amendment for the boy scouts to be treated decently.
So how about it
The sauce for a goose is the sauce for a gander. Per USSC, there is no inherent right to the taxpayer money, be it federal funds for the universities or a rent subsidy at the marina. Those who do not like the attached strings should not take the money, and then they could exercise their Constitutional rights to their hearts' content.
already posted here.
That's true, but when government opens a program or offers a benefit, it can't pick and choose recipients based on their viewpoints. The US SUpreme Court has made that clear -- but that's what Berkeley is doing by shutting the Scouts out of a program that other nonprofits are allowed into. It's as if Berkeley charged Republicans more to use a city swimming pool than Democrats. Are you saying that would be constitutional, because "there is no inherent right to taxpayer money"? The US Supreme Court would disagree with you -- and I won't be surprised if they state their disagreement with the California Court on the Scout issue.
Not really. The article you cite is from the San Fran Comical, and takes a liberal slant - suggesting that the Scouts were arguing they deserved a "subsidy." As the article that I posted notes, what was at issue, instead, is whether Berkeley can treat the Scouts UNEQUALLY -- WITH DISCRIMINATION -- because Berkeley doesn't like their traditional viewpoint.
This isn't about a "Right to a subsidy" -- as the Chronicle implies -- its' about a right EQUAL TREATMENT, and a right to NOT BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BECAUSE OF ONE'S CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED VIEWPOINTS.
They're fighting the Boy Scouts in case after case.
Well, are they being overcharged for that berth? Or are they assessed the market rent? And as for "can't pick and choose" - I disagree. I read that USSC decision and understood it completely differently from your interpretation.
The good old USA isn't nearly as good as it once was.
Do you ever wonder what the Lord thinks of what we've done to this once great blessing He entrusted to us? I do and then I shudder.
The scouts helped build the damn marina. This isn't a "gimmee."
Beyond that, the SCOTUS decision has NO relevance to this case. You're building assumption castles in thin air.
They're being charged a high monthly fee, while other nonprofits are not charged any fee. It's rank discrimination, based on ideology. Look up "viewpoint discrimination" in a law hornbook. The US SUpreme Court has said again and again that government can't withhold access to a public benefit based on someone's constitutionally protected viewpoint. The law school/military case wasn't about that -- the Court decided that case based on Congress's military powers under the Constitution. You need to become familiar with more Supreme Court cases - such as the Karen Findley case, the Rosenberger case, the Legal Services case, all of which say that government benefits can't be withheld simply because government doesn't like an applicant's viewpoint.
I'll ask you again: Do you think it would be constitutional for Berkeley to charge Republicans, but not Democrats, to use its Marina or its swimming pools? THat's what they're doing in the Sea Scout case - - they're charging the Sea Scouts, while not charging other nonprofits whose views are more "acceptable" to city hall.
I so want to believe as you do. I'm just holding my breath until I see good results.
It's a disgrace, but it's no surprise. It's California.
(Personally, though, I don't really think that places like Berkeley and San Fransicko are proper places to take children into anyway.)
Before the fee was imposed, he covered the membership and activities costs for teenagers from low-income neighborhoods, something he can no longer afford to do. So while many minority, low-income Sea Scouts members have had to drop out of the popular youth program,
And I thought libs were "for the children."

Frosta looks fantastic! Hopefully the forearms are an isolated incident. Thank you for another great review Dan!
Frosta looks fantastic! Hopefully the forearms are an isolated incident. Thank you for another great review Dan!
200X fan? Classic fan? What does that mean? I'm a MotU fan!!!
Thanks Dan. Frosta is my favorite POP character so I was concerned when I started seeing all the posts and reviews the last few days. Your video has me optimistic that I will get a great figure.
My blog: huckthedog.com
My trade feedback: http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...d.php?t=174899
The issues are annoying, but overall I'm still pretty happy as long as mine have correct forearms. I might try to add a lighter blue paint on her hair though. I don't know if it's just video/pictures but I wish the line on the back of her hair between light and dark wasn't so distinct. I'm hoping it's less so on the actual figure.
I will say, I'm sure it was unintentional, but your sign off sounded almost angry! LOL.
Upcoming MOTU-inspired Graphic Novel: www.eonquest.com
I'm still undecided about this figure. It's one of my favorite POP characters, but the flaws are what's keeping me from buying it.
There's worse : given the fact Matty seems to botch many female figures, and especially Great Rebellion figures, I think I might give up all of the future Great Rebellion characters.
Pixel Dan's comments on Frosta's face are not enough to convince me : I've seen with my own eyes what Frosta could have looked like (cf. Eamon's Frosta face), and the face we're getting seems once again to mean "That's your Frosta, people !". The problem was totally ignored and dismissed under the "all sculpts are final" policy.
The reversed forearms are not acceptable at this point. And NO, Pixel Dan, I don't think this will be an "isolated case". YOUR figure, the figure you previewed, had that problem ? Then, too bad for Matty : I personally consider that there's too big a risk that this problem will be widespread.
I already made too many concessions for other, earlier figures. I don't feel like getting yet another botched figure.
Then, there's the white legs pegs... this kind of issue has already been raised many times before : the legs pegs should be made in the SAME colour as the legs ! The white leg pegs on Frosta are too apparent, and it doesn't look good. Once again, Matty ignored the fans' voices.
I'm still undecided, but the more I write about Frosta, the more I realize I've had enough with these design and QC issues. Right now, I feel like passing this figure. I'll take my decision once I'm calm and cold-blooded again, but let's say that right now, I have a bad opinion on MOTUC Frosta.
The only great point about this figure seems to be the articulations... I'll see whether this is enough for me to buy it. But it's already clear that it is NOT worth the 50 euros I'll have to spend for it !
My seller/trader/buyer feedback:
The problem is that Toyguru will just say, "See? POP Stinks and no one wants to buy these characters. Ha Ha!" - if people don't buy her.
Though, she's already sold what she needs to because she's a Subscription figure! So...
But don't give up on the GR characters I've been waiting this long for some of my favorite MOTU/POP/NA characters, all the while appreciating the rest, but if people start bailing now, it's really going to sting. (no pun intended there).
A Want List: Starburst She-Ra doll, Slamurai, Concept Snake Troopers, Slime Pit He-Man
Mini Comic Tri-Klops, Toy costume Catra, Enchantress, Kayo, Joya, Lt. Andra, Storm, Twiggets, Melaktha, Spirit, Kothos, Master Sebrian, Scrollos, 200X Sorceress, King Miro. Filmation: Adora, Marzo, Leech, Entrapta, Glimmer, Bow, Catra w/ Cat Form, Mermista, Moss Man, Kobra Khan, Whiplash, Multi-Bot
Knowing his machiavellian mind, I know that's what he could be tempted to say and do. But honestly... I don't care anymore.The problem is that Toyguru will just say, "See? POP Stinks and no one wants to buy these characters. Ha Ha!" - if people don't buy her.
I'm not a huge POP fan, but still... I like many POP characters, and would welcome them in my collection IF they're great and unflawed, and IF they're worth the money I spend. The QC issues (those damned reversed Frosta forearms, for pete's sake !!!) are the main reason that prevented me from buying several figures this year. I don't feel that Frosta is a great figure. She's an "OK" figure, but most of all, she's ONE MORE FIGURE suffering from the SAME OLD FLAW(S) ! And I'm really fed up with those flaws at this point... Matty never bothered to fix a thing, and my patience has now reached its ultimate limit.
I'm not sure I'll drop all of the Great Rebellion. I just wrote this out of pure rage. But I'm so annoyed by all the QC issues (anf even more so by the RECURRENT ones) that I just might drop it. Only time will tell...
She looks excellent in your review. Thanks Dan!
The review reeks of positive 'spin' which is cool, as from a fan point you'd want to emphasize the positive over the negative in your review.
However after reading bcrduke's post, I think this Q&A Ask Matty response deserves re-posting to back up bcrduke's post:
To translate that answer: We know we totally screwed up Frosta (like we did King Hsss, Roboto, Stinkor) but this is your Frosta. She's what has been produced, so buy her regardless of the final products quality. If you don't, then we won't give you more POP as we now have an excuse not to make them or limit the skus they get.GreatRebellion.org
Arthur asks: Matty, you often tell us POP fans that we're more louder than numerous. Ever thought on releasing a numbered limited series of POP three packs at higher prices to finish off POP? Sure if you can do a sub for 6 figures a year you can do one for say 2 yearly 3-packs at $150 each or so.
No, we do not have plans for something like this. We'll be excited to see how Frosta sells to see how big the POP fan base is!
*Sometime next year...*: "We produced a fantastic Frosta last year, that the reviewers totally loved, yet her day of sales were not encouraging like we hoped, so we might have to scale back the skus POP gets in 2014."
Most wanted Filmation style MOTUC figures:
Hunga the Harpy, Webstor, Kobra Khan, Leech, Whiplash, Rattlor, Catra Cat Form, Ram Man, Count Marzo, Two-Bad, King Miro, Twiggets, Frosta, Kothos and Admiral Scurvy.
Okay, this review helped me accept the imperfections of the figure.
The face looks good. Personally, I preferred the first version we saw when she was revealed. I definitely don't like the gray/white color. Why on earth can't these figures be bright? My favorite He-Man is the TRU version because he is bright. I just don't get the dulling down of the colors.
But yeah, Frosta rocks. Can't wait to get her. If I can afford it, I will be buying a couple more than my subs cover. I think my niece is going to LOVE her.
Etherian Rebel JOSH for the MOTUC (see my avatar)!
She's lookin' a lot better now; I think the lighting and the closeups at the Fwoosh review made me a little more wary (of course, I am in no way bashing the awesome Fwoosh reviews). She looks good in-hand and at different angles (which was also mentioned in the Fwoosh review, since her profile is much better).
Anyway, I'm looking forward to her! Sucks that her arms could be reversed, but it looks like they function the same and I honestly don't care which way the gloves are pointed. One way or another I think she ain't bad!

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.
I know these are just toys, but I love them, and I think the design team has made some really bizarre choices as of late. This figure, unfortunately, is a shining example of that.
Frosta looks terrific and I'm so excited to bolster my GR ranks. I can finally start a second shelf with the Star Sisters, Snout Spout (and Netossa soon enough) and have She-Ra & Swift Wind alongside Bow and Frosta on the top shelf reserved for A-listers. The white joints under the skirt are definitely annoying but hopefully I will not see it too often. As for her hair, I think it looks terrific. While I usually like these figures to look as Filmation as possible this definitely looks much more like an ice empresses hair should. Can't wait for this one to arrive on my doorstep!

Yep, the proto was incredible better. The forearms can be easily swappable (AGAIN!!!)
Gray instead of white -- stupid decision.

While I think she could be better, I think she could be far worse. I give her a B. I'm excited to get her.
I'm curious what that translucent hair looks like in front of a light source.
And Pixel Dan is correct. Great to have her to bolster the GR ranks, and LONG overdue! They could shut up a lot of POP fans by releasing a couple of GR two packs. Say Angella and Glimmer, and Mermista and Castaspella. The snake men and NA need a bit more attention as well.
I want more of everything but the Snake Men have had a banner year. I think we can go a few more reveals without another.

Cool () Review!!!
I for one, not originally a Big POP person (that was my sister's side of the playroom) but am Happy they are part of the Classics line! They definitely add up the figure count and are working well, albeit the color spectrum tends to go brighter with these characters. I'm diggin it!
One thing that I started to notice with the POP, or for that matter Great Rebellion faction is they are all incorporating the shield. And I'm beginning to look at it in the sense the shields are a "Rebellion" item in which each member has one given to them after proof of service and commitment which can possibly do something such as keep in contact with other Rebellion members a la the crystals or jewels in them (I know they are done on these shields but weren't they originally?); or maybe the jewels do something unique?
I see it that once Queen Angella appoints a member to the Rebellion, the Star Sisters help forge the shield with a jewel unique to the member? Sort of tying it all to the Crystal Castle as well? Just a thought...
'Tis the wind and nothing more.....
I don't think she is without flaws, and I don't want to marginalize the problems too much, but we've taken a lot of female characters now with warts and all. IMO the Sorceress was botched horribly by those drums and a kind of bland face. Teela, a star of the female characters, has an unforgivable bobble head and overly hard leotard but as yet no rerelease. Queen Marlena has those awful iris-less eyes and non-puffy sleeves. Adora had the granny pants (IMO a very minor problem compared to others). And there was the first bland She-Ra figure. I am kind of shocked and grateful they put the effort into "fixing" She-Ra with the BP variant considering, even though I had to buy two figures to get the one I wanted. But still, this is such a pattern now I don't expect a change and even think Mattel is just waiting to see how long customers keep buying the flawed stuff rather than looking at how to fix the flaws and attract more customers (and by making a huge deal out of every flaw, I feel we even contribute to the exodus of customers, though not THAT much). All I can say is that she looks better than she looked in that first showing even if the translucent hair is too dark.
Be sure to read Book of Evil Part 2: The Bells of Doom, only in the He-Man.org Fan Fic & Media forums!
Almost any figure from any toyline from any company has some sort of flaw that could be pointed out. To imply that it's only the female figures of one line from one toy company is totally unfair.
I could honestly look at any of the thousands of figures I own and point out some sort of "flaw".
This review madee more optimistic about Frosta to be honest. The face sculpt came out very nicely and the hair doesn't look as bad as I'd feared.
I've decided to buy two Frostas and paint over one of their hair. I've never customised a figure so I thought I'd give it a go. She'd look better with lighter hair, as in the series, but if I botch it I won't be majorly disappointed.
Hopefully she'll sell well and we'll see more POP soon after Netossa (who I'm also totally excited about!).
Like everyone else, I think this figure could have benefited from much lighter hair so it greater resembled the Filmation cartoon. I also think some more translucent plastic and possibly even the use of glitter in places, would have been nice, just to accentuate the crystalline, icy quality in keeping with the theme. But with these relatively minor gripes aside, I think she looks great overall. I especially like the face sculpt which really emphasises her prettiness. Looking forward to displaying her.
Thanks for the great review Dan.
I'm saddened by the reversed forearms, fingers crossed it's not a widespread issue. Dan's Frosta does have a nicer face so that it a plus, and I'm not really bothered by the white on the back of the bodice, of course it'd be nice if it was actually white.
The gray pegs in the thighs is also a big issue, one that makes no sense and was clearly an issue with Mattel design.
We've waited 4+ years for a member of the Great Rebellion and for her to be anything less than perfect is greatly disappointing.
"Don't crowd me boys!"
1. Swap the forearms after applying heat with a hairdryer.
2. Paint the leg pegs to match her dark blue leg pegs.
3. Add a new coat of brighter white acrylic paint.
4. Paint her hair a lighter blue.
Mattel's keeping us customizers busy!

I love flocking. From fabric with texture to nodding chihuahuas in a rear window - flocking makes my heart flutter. The kids and I have been dabbling in sand art lately and that is when I had the idea to flock with sand. I have Valentine's Day tunnel vision so today for I Love to Create I grabbed a kitschy deer I had on hand and got to flocking.
Craft Sand
Aleene's Tacky Glue
Paint Brush
This project is super easy. First up paint your figurine with glue. While the glue is still wet sprinkle on your sand.
Once your glue is dry shake off your excess sand. I went in and added glue polka dots that I sprinkled with hot pink sand.
When your glue is dry display with pride! I can't wait to flock more figurines!

Juventus' title defence suffered a blow as they succumbed to a surprise 2-1 defeat at the hands of lowly Sampdoria in Turin on Sunday.
Sebastian Giovinco opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the first half, after Claudio Marchisio had been brought down by Gaetano Berardi, who later saw red for a second bookable offence.
However, Mauro Icardi netted a second-half brace to secure a memorable win for Riccardo Garrone's side that saw the Turn outfit lose their first game of 2013.
The hosts began the brighter of the two sides and it took Sergio Romero to deny Juventus an early goal, the Sampdoria goalkeeper smothering at the feet of Giovinco after initially hesitating to come and claim a low cross.
The pint-sized Bianconeri star came close to netting the opener minutes later after Simone Padoin pulled back for the striker, who fired just over from the edge of the 18-yard box.
At the other end, Andrea Poli looked to test Gianluigi Buffon after the Juventus backline failed to clear their ranks. His effort, however, was weak and comfortably dealt with by the veteran shotstopper.
The Italian's shot appeared to shake the hosts into action and they came close to opening the scoring 20 minutes in, Romero expertly denying Giovinco with a strong right hand despite diving the wrong way.
However, the Blucerchiati shot-stopper was unable to prevent the Juventus attacker from netting minutes later, Giovinco tucking into the bottom left corner from the penalty spot after Marchisio had been felled by Berardi.
The Turin outfit thought they'd doubled their advantage on the half-hour mark when Andrea Pirlo's corner appeared to have been scrambled over the line by Alessandro Matri, but Romero did well to prevent a goal.
The afternoon went from bad to worse for Riccardo Garrone's side in the last 15 minutes of the half, though, after Berardi saw yellow for the second time following a lunge on Andrea Barzagli.
Juventus felt they had a shout for a second penalty after Matri was hauled down in the box by Angelo Palombo, only for the referee to blow for a Sampdoria free kick.
The visitors came excruciatingly close to finding a equaliser on the brink of half-time after Marcelo Estigarribia brushed Buffon's post with a curling free kick, leaving the Italian rooted to the spot.
Antonio Conte's side looked to double their advantage after the interval, but it was Sampdoria who netted early into the second half. Icardi fired a half-volley goalbound and Buffon proved unable to prevent the ball from squeezing past him and into the back of the net.
Poli went close on the hour mark to firing the visitors in front, but struck his volley into the ground and out for a goal kick, before Eder fired straight at Buffon after some good work on the edge of the 18-yard box.
Juventus were toothless in the attack and were made to pay with 20 minutes remaining. Icardi was played in by Pedro Obiang and the Sampdoria front-man smashed past Buffon from an acute angle.
The hosts looked for an instant reply and came close to dragging themselves back into the encounter after substitute Mirko Vucinic blasted against the cross bar and onto the goal-line before the Blucerchiati managed to clear the danger.
The Montenegro international poked just inches wide from two yards moments later as Juventus pushed for the equaliser.
Padoin fired a stinging effort at Romero, fumbling his effort but the Sampdoria goalkeeper managed to pounce on the ball before Vucinic could tap home as the visitors secured a surprise win at the Juventus Stadium, meaning the home side remain just five points clear of Lazio, who defeated Cagliari the night before.

This is something I picked up recently. I am unsure what the best practices are-- but the method I picked up appears to work. What you will need is a compiler (we will be using GCC), and of course, Python.
We begin by writing some C code we want to compile into a library. For demonstration, I wrote some simple code. Note I didn't divide this code into a header file and a source file. That would only complicate the tutorial, but in practice you would most likely divide your code by standard C practices such as using a header file and a source file. The code I wrote is similar to Python's randint function-- we will make our own random function.
#include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> #define TRUE 1 #define FALSE 0 static int randomized = FALSE; void randomize(void) { srand(time(NULL)); randomized = TRUE; } /* returns a random number between base and max, inclusive */ int get_random(int base, int max) { if (randomized == FALSE){ randomize(); } return rand() % (max - base + 1) + base; }
Well-- there we have it. We have the C code, but we need to create a library (in Linux, a .so file). We can do so by compiling our code and outputting a shared library. For example, here is how you can do it with GCC:
gcc -Wall -O3 -shared ~/test.c -o test.so
This turns on warning, optimizes the code and exports the test code as a file called, 'test.so' into our home directory. The shared flag is what outputs the shared library.
Finally, we need to use this in our Python script. The first thing we want to do is import the ctypes module.
import ctypes
Next we need to load our library, in Linux we will do it like so (no pun intended):
my_test_lib = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary('/home/username/test.so')
Then you can call functions inside your library by calling them through the library object, like this:
my_test_lib.get_random(1, 10)
Here's the complete source for the test Python code I wrote.
#!/usr/bin/env python import ctypes def main(): my_test_lib = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary('/home/usrname/test.so') for i in range(10): # Note, this uses the Python 2 print print "Random = %d" % my_test_lib.get_random(1, 10) if __name__ == '__main__': main()
Ending notes:
The Windows version of this is slightly different-- you need to compile the library in a slightly different way and the way you import the library will be a little different.

"West of Memphis"
Rating: R
When: Opens Friday
Where: Landmark Hillcrest
Running time: 2 hours, 26 minutes
The case of the West Memphis Three was big news in 1993 when West Memphis, Ark., teenagers Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr. were accused and ultimately convicted of mutilating and killing three young boys as part of a satanic ritual, a prosecutorial concoction based mostly on Echols' fondness for black clothing and hard-rock music.
The misfit teens were shipped off to prison to serve multiple life sentences and, for Echols, a trip to death row, but murmurings of this appalling miscarriage of justice persisted, eventually attracting a group of supporters that included rock stars, filmmakers and attorneys, all of whom worked feverishly over the years to keep the case in the headlines and free the West Memphis Three.
"West of Memphis" isn't the first documentary about the case; it was preceded by the "Paradise Lost" trilogy, which closely followed developments in the case over the years, including evidence of prosecutorial misconduct, indifference and incompetence on the part of law enforcement, cultural prejudice, and the introduction of new evidence that pointed the finger at a new suspect.
While the "Paradise Lost" filmmakers were reporting from the trenches of the battlefield, "West of Memphis" director Amy Berg ("Deliver Us From Evil") has hindsight in her favor. She tells the dramatic and exhaustively documented story with something close to journalistic remove, encapsulating the case's jaw-dropping twists and turns over 2½ absolutely riveting hours.
The miscarriages of justice in this case are pervasive and complex. While "West of Memphis" may lack the play-by-play detail of the "Paradise Lost" films, Berg pushes through them at a clip that nearly overwhelms you with hopelessness, if not an adrenaline rush of rage — even if you're familiar with the case.
But "West of Memphis" is also a moving portrait of how people, motivated only by compassion and a belief in doing what's right, can effect change. Berg was undoubtedly obligated to focus on the community of supporters who rallied behind the imprisoned men, considering that her film was produced by one of their primary backers, "Lord of the Rings" filmmaker
When Jackson appears on camera, he speaks as someone integrally and emotionally involved in the renewed investigation he helped fund. Berg offers up readings of deeply personal and consoling email exchanges between Jackson's wife, Fran Walsh, and Lorri Davis, who has spearheaded the cause since she married Echols, in prison, in 1999. The 48-year-old Vedder, who clearly considers Echols a friend, reflects with astonishment on the marathon journey he joined in his early 20s. The journey to free the West Memphis Three was not some vanity cause — it was a quest that truly took a village to complete.
In addition to contemporary interviews with the men's original and current defense teams, Berg also talks to the murdered boys' families, all of whom were vehemently convinced that the accused were as evil and guilty as the prosecution suggested. But, with 18 years of life behind them and new evidence in front, some of their memories and perceptions of the case have shifted.
What hasn't changed in the face of so much new evidence, including strong DNA results that point to a far more likely suspect, is the stance of the original law enforcement and prosecution team, as well as the judge, who remain more concerned with preserving their reputations and political futures than making sure that innocent people aren't paying for a crime while the real murderer remains free.
Berg's interviews with the literary and self-reflective Echols and his competent, loving wife create an emotional urgency to this shameful story, but the exclusion of Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley, until the film's final scenes, is puzzling. They're praised for their loyalty in refusing the prosecution's offers for leniency in exchange for testimony against Echols, but Berg never gives Baldwin and Misskelley, whose forced confession was the linchpin in the prosecution's case, the opportunity to speak for themselves, and she doesn't go into much detail about them as individuals or the status of their relationships with Echols.
The film draws a clear and convincing parallel between the West Memphis case and the infamous Salem witch trials. Part of the reason rockers like Vedder and Henry Rollins took up the cause was the affinity they felt for Echols, a somewhat typical angry teenager who turned to hard music and fantastical, violent art to escape from his small and screwed-up world, and was punished for his differences by a closed-minded and frightened community looking to blame the first person who fit the part. It's easy to say that we're more sophisticated now, that it'll never happen again, but the queasy resolution to even this most egregious of cases suggests otherwise.

This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Screening is looking for cancer before a person has any symptoms. This can help find cancer at an early stage. When abnormal tissue or cancer is found early, it may be easier to treat. By the time symptoms appear, cancer may have begun to spread.
Scientists are trying to better understand which people are more likely to get certain types of cancer. They also study the things we do and the things around us to see if they cause cancer. This information helps doctors recommend who should be screened for cancer, which screening tests should be used, and how often the tests should be done.
It is important to remember that your doctor does not necessarily think you have cancer if he or she suggests a screening test. Screening tests are given when you have no cancer symptoms.
If a screening test result is abnormal, you may need to have more tests done to find out if you have cancer. These are called diagnostic tests.
Bladder and other urothelial cancers are diseases in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the urothelium.
The bladder is a hollow organ in the lower part of the abdomen. It is shaped like a small balloon and has a muscle wall that allows it to get larger or smaller. The bladder holds urine until it is passed out of the body. Urine is the liquid waste that is made by the kidneys as they clean the blood. The urine passes from the two kidneys into the bladder through two tubes called ureters. When the bladder is emptied during urination, the urine goes from the bladder to the outside of the body through another tube called the urethra.
The urothelium is a layer of tissue that lines the urethra, bladder, ureters, prostate, and renal pelvis. Cancer that begins in the urothelium of the bladder is much more common than cancer that begins in the urothelium of the urethra, ureters, prostate, or renal pelvis. Because it is the most common form of urothelial cancer, bladder cancer is the focus of this summary.
There are 3 types of cancer that begin in the urothelial cells of the bladder. These cancers are named for the type of cells that become malignant (cancerous):
See the following PDQ summaries for more information about bladder and other urothelial cancers:
The risk of bladder cancer increases with age.
In the United States, bladder cancer occurs more often in men than in women, and more often in whites than in blacks. As the U.S. population has gotten older, the number of people diagnosed with bladder cancer has increased, but the number of deaths from bladder cancer has decreased. This is true for men and women of all races over the last 30 years. However, blacks and women with bladder cancer are more likely to die from the disease than white men with bladder cancer are.
Smoking can affect the risk of bladder cancer.
Anything that increases your chance of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer; not having risk factors doesn't mean that you will not get cancer. Talk to your doctor if you think you may be at risk for bladder cancer. Risk factors for bladder cancer include:
Tests are used to screen for different types of cancer.
Some screening tests are used because they have been shown to be helpful both in finding cancers early and in decreasing the chance of dying from these cancers. Other tests are used because they have been shown to find cancer in some people; however, it has not been proven in clinical trials that use of these tests will decrease the risk of dying from cancer.
Scientists study screening tests to find those with the fewest risks and most benefits. Cancer screening trials also are meant to show whether early detection (finding cancer before it causes symptoms) decreases a person's chance of dying from the disease. For some types of cancer, finding and treating the disease at an early stage may result in a better chance of recovery.
There is no standard or routine screening test for bladder cancer.
Screening for bladder cancer is under study and there are screening clinical trials taking place in many parts of the country. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Two tests may be used to screen for bladder cancer in patients who have had bladder cancer in the past:
Cystoscopy is a procedure to look inside the bladder and urethra to check for abnormal areas. A cystoscope (a thin, lighted tube) is inserted through the urethra into the bladder. Tissue samples may be taken for biopsy.Cystoscopy. A cystoscope (a thin, tube-like instrument with a light and a lens for viewing) is inserted through the urethra into the bladder. Fluid is used to fill the bladder. The doctor looks at an image of the inner wall of the bladder on a computer monitor.
Urine cytology
Urine cytology is the examination of urine under a microscope to check for abnormal cells.
Hematuria tests may also be used to screen for bladder cancer.
Hematuria (red blood cells in the urine) may be caused by cancer or by other conditions. A hematuria test is used to check for blood in a sample of urine by viewing it under a microscope or using a special test strip. The test may be repeated over time.
Screening tests have risks.
Decisions about screening tests can be difficult. Not all screening tests are helpful and most have risks. Before having any screening test, you may want to discuss the test with your doctor. It is important to know the risks of the test and whether it has been proven to reduce the risk of dying from cancer.
False-positive test results can occur.
Screening test results may appear to be abnormal even though no cancer is present. A false-positive test result (one that shows there is cancer when there really isn't) can cause anxiety and is usually followed by more tests (such as cystoscopy or other invasive procedures), which also have risks. False-positive results often occur with hematuria testing; blood in the urine is usually caused by conditions other than cancer.
False-negative test results can occur.
Screening test results may appear to be normal even though bladder cancer is present. A person who receives a false-negative test result (one that shows there is no cancer when there really is) may delay seeking medical care even if there are symptoms.
Your doctor can advise you about your risk for bladder cancer and your need for screening tests.

PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
Images in the PDQ summaries are used with permission of the author(s), artist, and/or publisher for use within the PDQ summaries only. Permission to use images outside the context of PDQ information must be obtained from the owner(s) and cannot be granted by the National Cancer Institute. Information about using the illustrations in the PDQ summaries, along with many other cancer-related images, are available in Visuals Online, a collection of over 2,000 scientific images.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether a method of finding cancer earlier can help people to live longer. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients and those who are at risk for cancer. During screening clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new screening method and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new method is better than one currently being used, the new method may become "standard." People who are at high risk for a certain type of cancer may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

HTC Alpine soft reset
Resetting Your HTC Alpine Pocket PC Phone
Resetting Your Pocket PC Phone
You can perform a soft reset or a full reset. During a soft reset, the Pocket PC Phone is restarted and only some data in opened programs may be lost. However, a full reset turns the battery off, returns the device to its original factory settings, and deletes all programs, files, contacts, and other information you have saved to the device. Therefore, it is extremely important to back up data to a storage card or your computer on a regular basis in the event that a full reset has to be performed.
To perform a HTC Alpine soft reset:
If your Pocket PC Phone responds slowly, stops responding, or freezes, you can soft reset it. A soft reset causes the Pocket PC Phone to restart and re-adjust memory allocation.
Unsaved data in any opened applications may be lost. Use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button, as shown below.
HTC Alpine hard resetTo perform a full reset
A full device reset clears memory, deletes all data, and restores the Pocket PC Phone to its default settings. Programs installed at the factory remain. All data that you have created and programs you have installed are erased.
Press and hold the Power button, and then use your stylus to press the "soft reset button" at the same time, as shown below. Be sure you have backed up all your data on an SD card or on a desktop PC before performing a full reset.

Quick And Easy Chicken Recipes
Olive Tapenade Chicken Rolls
Olive tapenade is extremely versatile and can be used as a spread or filling in many different dishes. You can also use it in place of more traditional party dips such as hummus, guacamole, salsa or roasted bell pepper spread. In this recipe, I added goat cheese to the tapenade and used the mixture as a filling for chicken rolls. I served the dish with a mildly sweet carrot purée that makes an excellent foil to the savory flavor of the tapenade.
If it's not part of your culinary repertoire yet, you should definitely learn to prepare tapenade. It will open up a whole new world of easy to prepare, delectable dishes.

Mushroom and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast
Mushroom and cheese stuffed chicken breast is a quick and easy chicken recipe for dinner. I used goat ricotta cheese, shiitake mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes and lemon to flavor the meat. Chicken breast can be dry, so I marinated the meat and cooked the chicken for only 15 minutes. It's perhaps more of a roll than a stuffing, but either way, it's delicious.
My mother-in-law is an absolute creature of habit, and when we plan on cooking chicken, her preference is always poulet roti. Contrary to the stereotype, I love my mother-in-law dearly, so don't think I'm complaining, but it takes a miracle to get her to try new things. A couple of nights ago, we had some dinner guests and we had to come up with a main course. We had chicken breasts in the house, but no whole chicken. My mother-in-law was ready to go to the market to get a whole chicken, but I was able to convince her to give this recipe a try.
Given the time crunch, she grudgingly gave in and let me prepare the dish. When she tasted it, she asked me why I haven't made it before! I see a lot of stuffed chicken breasts in my future, and if you try this recipe, I bet you will too!

Published at Monday, 18 December 2017. Kitchen. By Fayette Lucas.
When doing a complete remodel of a kitchen, something important to consider before paint colors or cabinet finishes is what kind of functionality you want your kitchen to have. The standard kitchen activities such as cooking, cleaning, and storing food are givens, but what kind of entertaining would you like to do in your kitchen? If you want a kitchen that can serve as a space for more than simply dining, then a kitchen island is something you'll definitely want to consider.
It is essential to consider both the aesthetics, including color and style, along with the function and strength of the material. As a major portion of the kitchen budget, balancing beauty, durability and cost are vital to a successful cabinet choice.
Additional kitchen island ideas are to consider using shelf space on the sides of your kitchen island for cookbooks, collectibles or storage. A built-in TV works here, especially if it faces the family room. Or a microwave may work well for heating up after-school snacks and cooking foods quickly.

Kids enjoy a week of VBS at Faith Lutheran
Album 1
on photos below to enlarge.]
[June 21, 2014]
Send a link to a friend
This week children were
invited to attend Vacation Bible School at Faith Lutheran Church in
Lincoln. The theme for this year was "Weird Animals...Where
Jesus' love is one-of-a-kind."
Through mornings filled with
special lessons, games, and crafts, the children learned they are
one-of-a-kind individuals that God loves dearly and personally.
Their classrooms were set up
as jungle like settings, and one of their favorite crafts of the
week involved making wild animals out of cups and other common

Liberal Studies Major
Are you . . .
If so, the Liberal Studies Major may be for you.
The Liberal Studies Major is a broad, multi-disciplinary major in the humanities and social sciences. Its core characteristic is flexibility and freedom, letting students tailor their college work toward exploration and broad cultural grounding for the bachelor's degree, for teaching and other aspects of education, for those heading to graduate school, and for those contemplating careers in law, business, social service agencies like adult and family services, health and welfare organizations, criminal justice, research enterprises, or governmental service.
The wide range of careers depend on the skills and abilities cultivated by the major, such as the ability to gather, categorize, and implement approaches to difficult problems; the ability to understand and analyze complex concepts and to arrive at sound, defensible judgments and decisions regarding them; and the ability to organize information, draw inferences, write persuasively, and fashion memorable presentations.
The Liberal Studies Major, above all, allows students to cultivate their particular and developing interests.

1. What are charter schools and why are they named as a school-choice option under No Child Left Behind?
Charter schools are independent public schools designed and operated by parents, educators, community leaders, education entrepreneurs and others. They operate with a contract, or charter, from a public agency, such as a local or state education agency, an institution of higher education or a municipality. They must meet standards set forth in their charters for students and for the school as a whole, or else the chartering agency can close the school.
No Child Left Behind specifically names public charter schools as a school-choice option for children in schools that are identified for improvement, corrective action or restructuring, because they offer a viable alternative to public schools in the traditional system. In fact, the development of charter schools began in the 1990s as a means of providing expanded educational options for parents within the public school system. Today there are some 2,700 U.S. charter schools serving some 700,000 students nationwide.TOP
2. Do all states have charter schools?
No. Currently only 39 states have public charter schools laws that provide this option for students. While some states have laws that strongly promote charter school growth, others do not. As a result, the situation varies among states, with thriving charter schools in some and very little or no charter-school activity in others. Parents may contact their local school district or state department of education to determine the availability of charter schools or to find out if there is a mechanism for starting such a school in their area.TOP
3. How are charter schools held accountable under No Child Left Behind?
Although charter schools operate outside the traditional system, they are still accountable. The accountability provisions and other requirements of No Child Left Behind must be applied to charter schools in accordance with the states' charter school laws. State-authorized chartering agencies, as established by the individual state laws, are responsible for ensuring that charter schools meet the accountability and testing provisions of No Child Left Behind. In March 2003, the Department issued guidance on the impact of the new Title I requirements on charter schools, including details on accountability requirements (see Appendix A: Where to Go for More Information).TOP
4. How can parents find out more about charter schools?
Parents interested in charter schools should contact their school district office or state education agency. More information is available through the Department's Web site given in Appendix A: Where to Go for More Information.TOP

CHESTER, Pa. -- Major League Lacrosse's version of David vs. Goliath is set.
The four-time champion Bayhawks will meet the Charlotte Hounds, who are just in their second year of existence, for the title after the No. 2-seeded and reigning champs edged the No. 3 Hamilton Nationals, 13-12, in a semifinal Saturday before an announced 4,228 at PPL Park.
Midfielder Michael Kimmel's goal off a centering pass from attackman Casey Powell with 1:25 left in the fourth quarter snapped a 12-12 tie and gave Chesapeake only its third lead of the game.
"It wasn't the easiest game to play, and we always seemed to be playing from behind after the first goal," Bayhawks coach Dave Cottle said. "We just kept playing. This is what we're trying to do. We're trying to be good at the end of the year, and hopefully we'll be better tomorrow."
The Bayhawks will play for their third title in four years Sunday at 3 p.m. (ESPN2) against the No. 4-seeded Hounds, who upset the previously unbeaten Denver Outlaws, 17-14, in the first semifinal.
Midfielder Mike Sawyer (Loyola) scored four goals (one 2-pointer) to pace Charlotte (7-7). Chesapeake split its season series with the Hounds, defeating them , 16-14, on Aug. 10 in the regular-season finale.
Charlotte's victory Saturday marred a playoff-record performance by Denver rookie attackman Eric Law (Salisbury), who scored nine goals. The Outlaws became the first team in MLL history to complete an undefeated regular season with a 14-0 record, but they depart the postseason without the Steinfeld Trophy for the eighth straight year.
Trailing 11-8 at the start of the fourth quarter of their game, the Bayhawks (9-5) got goals from attackman John Grant Jr. and attackman Drew Westervelt (John Carroll, UMBC) within a 1:56 span, but Hamilton regained a two-goal cushion when midfielder Joe Walters (Maryland) found midfielder and league Most Valuable Player Kevin Crowley alone near the left post with 9:35 remaining.
Kimmel (Loyola Blakefield, Johns Hopkins) halved the deficit with 7:09 left in regulation, and midfielder Steven Brooks got the equalizer on a long-range bomb that was inside the 2-point arc with 5:07 remaining.
With 1:25 left, Powell curled around the left post, drew two Nationals defenders, and centered the ball to Kimmel, who one-timed the ball past goalkeeper Brett Queener.
"I was kicking myself because two possessions before, [attackman] Matt Mackrides found me on the doorstep even more open, and I missed it," said Kimmel, who finished with three goals (one 2-pointer). "So Casey Powell was drawing a lot of attention. He had the attention of two slides, and I think the goalie was looking at him. So I couldn't miss that one. It was an empty-netter, and I just batted it in."
Crowley had a chance to tie the score with about 30 seconds remaining, but goalkeeper Kip Turner (Severn) made his 14th save and a Hamilton player was called for an illegal pick that gave possession to the Bayhawks, who ran out the clock.
After scoring 11 goals through the first three quarters, the Nationals could muster just one in the final period. Walters, who had two goals and two assists in the first three quarters, was limited to a single assist in the final quarter after Chesapeake decided to assign defensemen Michael Evans (South River, Johns Hopkins) and Jesse Bernhardt (Maryland) to shadow Walters and Crowley in the fourth.
"In the beginning, we were kind of chasing them around," Evans said. "The Canadian style is very different from the traditional MLL style, and we just kind of had to stay where we were and let the picks come to us and fight through everything."
Grant and midfielder Ben Hunt (Severna Park) each finished with two goals and one assist.
Bayhawks long-stick midfielder Michael Simon (Fallston, Stevenson) suffered a back injury and did not play in the fourth quarter. Although he expressed hope of playing Sunday , Cottle said Simon would not likely be available. Defenseman Nicky Polanco will likely take Simon's spot on the roster.
Bayhawks edge Hamilton, 13-12, to reach Sunday's MLL championship
CHESTER, Pa. -- Major League Lacrosse's version of David vs. Goliath is set.

Richard over at Ace Jet has started a brilliant series of posts called Uncommon Knowledge. It's an exemplary way of passing on the stuff he wish he'd known much, much earlier in his career - those little nuggets of information that were passed down to us by our elders and betters.
The one above explains the en-rule rule. Now, I have to be honest and say that I'm not actually a big fan of the en-rule. In some circumstances, yes, but mostly I prefer to break the rules and use a hyphen. I just find, in most of the circumstances that I set type, it just has a touch more elegance. And it is one of the things that would define my 'handwriting', as it were, if you were to examine my published work closely. But I do at least have Alan Fletcher and even David Hockney to back me up - I do know what I'm doing.
And it's got me thinking about the 'golden rules' or routine that I apply to every piece of print work that I undertake. And those are:-
1. Before you even start setting type, print out the copy and read it. It may seem obvious, but there are designers out there who simply see type as being the grey slabs of copy that interupt the flow of nice pictures. Reading and understanding what you're designing, though, is the first step towards great design.
2. Save the text as text. It's a 95% certainty that the text will arrive with you in the form of a 'Word' document. Before you even begin work on it, save it as plain text. Microsoft doesn't like you doing it, and you'll get a warning screen. But if you cut and paste straight from a Word document into Quark XPress or InDesign, you also copy over all of the unseen formatting. And that will be formatting (like minus indents - yes, it does happen) that you don't want. And once that formatting is in there, it's a bugger to get rid of. So, save it as text, and you'll start clean.
3. Get rid of the double word spaces. Typists are trained to insert a double word space between sentences. It's a hangover from the days of copy typing and typewritten letters, where the extra space did allow for easier reading. But that doesn't apply to typesetting. And perhaps 80% of the text that you'll receive will have been typed with double word spaces - so get rid of them with 'find/replace'. (There is one exception to this rule, and that is if you're setting in Gill Sans. It's a peculiarty of this particular font that it sometimes benefits from extra space between sentences, especially if the following one starts with a 'T'. But space these individually, and by kerning - not with a double space.)
4. Hypens and dashes. Despite what I say above, you have to make a decision on where you use hyphens and where you use dashes - and those uses should be consistent. Chances are that the text coming to you will have a mixture of both, so you need to impose some order on that. For instance, if you're using an en-rule to indicate a range (as Richard suggests), make sure that it's done consistently throughout the document.
5. Develop your own 'house style' and apply it. For instance, you may well receive copy with various ways of setting out a range of dates (annual reports are a good example, where the text will have been compiled from various sources). So you may get 1996-7, 1996-97 and 1996-1997 at various different points in the document. Decide upon one convention and apply it consistently. But remember to tell the client what you've done - they may prefer a different convention. That doesn't matter - it's the consistency that does.
6. Be very carfeful about changing the text. It may be that you spot a spelling mistake (though, it has to be said, most designers are appalling spellers - just look at the blogs!). If so, you should tell the client. You're treading on very dangerous ground if you start altering or amending text simply upon your own initiative.
So, there you have it. A few simple rules that will help you become a better typesetter, if not a designer.
(And Richard, please feel free to add any of these rules to your card index.)

Significant (and insignificant) points made are recapped here:

[ . . . ] I think the insistence on real names is bollocks and have for a long, long time. IllegalCombatAnt is a rather cool name, although initially raised a little "is this a spammer?" hackle.
[ . . .]
Hugh Weldon wrote:I agree with Des on that one actually. I never used an alias when I joined here, I never even thought of it, rather childish I would have said if someone suggested I should. I do think a real name adds authority and credibility. Of course there may be professional or other good reasons for withholding, I understand that. But it's interesting to note the majority of regulars feel no need to hide behind pseudonyms and soubriquets.
jackdaw version wrote:For those who forget, pseudonyms and stage names are common in the creative fields and had a particular heyday in the punk era. It is also common in the online world to use pseudonymous screen names. I've used various pseudonyms since punk times and feel absolutely no need to conform to this idea that one must have one "real" name and always use it. If that's the rule you want to follow for yourself, fine — but, honestly, bar a few professionals who have a public body of work to be judged by, I have no "real" idea who people are here. They are only apparent names, some might be the name they were born with and that appears in the phone book and is used by the government to identify them for tax purposes while others are just first names, nicknames, names with an initial, and so on. Beyond that, what does it mean that you're called Hugh Weldon or, say, Rob Hall? I don't know that that's your real name. It just looks like a normal name. Maybe you're really Fred Jones. Would it make any difference? I find it hard to see how the answer can be other than 'No!"
Des wrote:I think Ian A encourages fRoots forum members to use real names and it always seems friendlier to do so in my very 'umble opinion.

IllegalCombatAnt wrote:Oh dear, I never meant to ruffle any feathers ;)

It's one thing when Ian A. asks it right up front from the beginning in his own forum — but that rule was never enunciated by the guv'nor here.
I have no idea how the correlation between screen names and what one uses in real life goes. Lots of people use different nicknames, or even real names, under different situations or with different crowds.
And, Des, I gotta say there's a lot more to being friendly than using a real name. Something you might remember next time you feel whatever it is that causes you to post so many obnoxious bits of nonsense.
The ultimate irony is that I'm pretty sure it was from Des that I got the idea of changing names and locations!
And so, to get to the point I really wish to make:
Upon further misty-eyed reminiscence with me, myself and I, it is 100% guaranteed, absolute real fact, not just "pretty sure", that I got the idea from Des of using different names and locations on this forum. For whatever reason he saw fit at the time, he was the original executor of the concept, changing his name almost daily. I remember him as Bozo Bingtrousers, Nurse! The Curtains!, and something like Phoaarr!!!! as well as others that were less noteworthy. And, I might ask myself, why do I clutter my brain up with these?
So, now we get the sanctimonious smugness of the reformed sinner preaching loudly and attempting to impose on others rules, unexpressed rules at that, that he himself saw fit to ignore, even trample over, when it suited him.
One might ask whether there is more integrity in using one name and being an inconsistent character or in using a variety of pseudonyms to express the differing aspects of one's personality — and, don't fool yourselves, no one is consistent in their character all the time. One might also ask if I should ever have thought of Des as a role model, but I fear I would come out looking very bad if that became public knowledge.

Darting ahead early and putting the contest away with 28 unanswered points midway through the afternoon, the North Central College football team won for the fourth straight time and improved to 2-0 in College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) play on Saturday with a 42-22 victory over Millikin University at Frank M. Lindsay Field.
The 11th-ranked Cardinals (4-1) won for the 18th straight time against CCIW opposition and posted their eighth consecutive victory over the Big Blue. North Central has now won its last four games on Millikin's home field.
The Cardinals needed just 17 seconds to take the lead, as Patrick Mitchellreturned the opening kickoff to the Millikin four-yard line, completing the fourth-longest kick return in North Central history. Jordan Tassio ran in for the score on the first play from scrimmage and the visitors owned a very early 7-0 advantage.
Playing in front of a large Homecoming crowd, Millikin (3-2, 0-2 CCIW) responded with a 13-play, 66-yard drive to tie the score. Quarterback Matt Holmes, who completed 5 of 7 passes on the possession, throwing a seven-yard touchdown pass to Erik Tobey with 8:49 remaining in the opening period.
The teams traded punts before the Cardinals opened their next scoring drive. A 20-yard pass from Spencer Stanek to Peter Sorenson got North Central into striking distance at the Millikin 24-yard line, and a 13-yard run by Nick Kukuc followed before Tassio covered 11 yards for his second score and a 14-7 advantage with 54 seconds to go in the first quarter.
North Central had an opportunity to tack on an additional score on their next drive, bringing kicker Nick Dace on for a 47-yard field goal. Dace's kick, however, sailed wide, giving the hosts possession at their own 30-yard line. Millikin running back Nick Dunning gained 48 yards on four carries to kickstart the Big Blue's next drive, and Austin Brettschneider ultimately came on to kick a 36-yard field goal to narrow the gap to 14-10 with 10:38 before halftime.
The Cardinals countered with a nine-play, 65-yard drive which put them in front by a 21-10 count after Stanek found Peter Sorenson on a fade route for a 12-yard TD pass with 4:10 left in the second quarter. After forcing another Millikin punt, North Central was able to manage the clock and tack on another touchdown before the buzzer sounded. A 16-yard pass from Stanek to Tassio and a 16-yard run by Kukuc, along with a Millikin personal foul penalty, set the Cardinals up on the Millikin 40. Stanek then completed a 16-yard pass to Chad O'Kane and a nine-yard strike to Jeff Stolzenburg before Nick Kukuc ran to the right side and dove for the corner of the end zone for a 15-yard TD run with 28 seconds on the clock. North Central headed into halftime with a 28-10 advantage.
After forcing a punt on the first possession of the second half, the Cardinals opened their next scoring drive on their own 10-yard line. Stanek fired deep toHalaiano Fuentes for a 36-yard pass, and another Millikin personal foul left the visitors just 13 yards from the goal line. On fourth down-and-one at the four-yard line, Tassio ran for two yards to move the sticks, then covered the final two yards on the next play for his third touchdown and a 35-10 lead.
Millikin threatened to score on its next drive, traveling 57 yards in 11 plays and advancing all the way to the Cardinals' five-yard line. Dorian Hryniewicki tackled Dunning for a three-yard loss on third down, and Alex Tripp sacked Holmes on fourth down to force a turnover on downs at the 13. North Central ran the ball seven times in a 10-play, 87-yard drive and scored when Kukuc once again dove for the front corner of the end zone, this time on the left side, from 13 yards away.
The Cardinals' starters left the game in the fourth period and Millikin managed a pair of touchdowns. Holmes threw a 24-yard TD pass to Erik Tobey with 12:11 to play and Dunning ran for a two-yard score as time expired.
North Central outgained the Big Blue in total offense, 429 yards to 360, and converted 30 first downs. Kukuc gained a season-high 117 rushing yards on 14 carries, while Tassio ran for 46 yards on nine carries. Stanek completed 19 of 28 passes for 237 yards, throwing five times to Manny Juarez for 41 yards. Joey Michals paced the Cardinals' defense with eight tackles, while Shane Dierkingadded six and Hryniewicki finished with five. Connor Douglas intercepted a pass and Josh Mitchell broke up three others.
Dunning ran 17 times for 98 yards for Millikin, while Holmes completed 19 of 31 passes for 245 yards, despite being sacked five times, and Tobey made eight catches for 107 yards. Jacob Alvis, Marquette Moore and Christian Silva paced the Big Blue with 11 tackles each.
The Cardinals are on the road again next week, traveling to Chicago to face North Park University. North Central will go for its 17th straight victory over the Vikings on Saturday, with kickoff at the Holmgren Athletic Complex scheduled for 1 p.m.

When looking at canning recipes gathering ideas for my next adventure, I try to avoid recipes that contain obnoxious amounts of refined sugar. Every once in a while I will make an exception and give in to my sweet tooth; folks, this is definitely one of those times!
Since the finished product will be diluted (by more than half) with water, I'm able to rationalize the needed 6 cups of evil white sugar. After cracking open my first jar and conducting the initial taste-test, I can honestly say this is one recipe I will make again! I can see myself reliving my bartender days and whipping up a few summer cocktails! I love when one little jar holds so many delicious possibilities!
Strawberry Lemonade Concentrate – yields 7 pints
6 cups hulled strawberries
4 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
6 cups granulated sugar
Using a food processor or blender, purée strawberries until smooth. Transfer to a large stainless steel pot, add lemon juice and sugar, stir to combine. Heat mixture to 190°F over medium-high heat stirring occasionally. Do not boil. Remove pot from heat and skim off any foam that has developed.
Ladle concentrate into hot pint jars, wipe rims and add two-piece adjustable lids. Process for 15 minutes in a boiling-water bath. Remove canner from heat, wait 5 minutes and then remove jars, allowing them to cool for 12-24 hours.
To reconstitute, mix one part concentrate with one part water, adjust to your own personal taste. I use a 1:1.5 water ratio. I'm thinking frozen margaritas or vodka and seltzer water would be the perfect ending to a hot summer day!
