2007 National Roadside Survey (NRS) is a national field survey of alcohol- and drug-involved driving conducted primarily among nighttime weekend drivers, but also daytime Friday drivers. The survey involved randomly stopping drivers at 300 locations across the continental United States; sites were selected through a stratified random sampling procedure. This included data that we collected during a two-hour Friday daytime session at 60 locations and during four 2-hour nighttime periods (10:00 p.m. to midnight and 1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. on both Friday and Saturday) at 240 locations.
Methodology (DOT HS 811 237)
This report describes the methodology for the 2007 NRS.
Alcohol Results (DOT HS 811 248)

Summary Meeting Notes: January 15, 2013 Networks PEG meeting
January 15, 2013 from 1 to 3:20 p.m.
PEG Members Attending: Aaron Brown, Ivy Dunlop, Eric Hesse, Keith Liden, Linda Nettekoven, Lidwien Rahman, Allan Schmidt, Chris Smith, Peter Stark, Pia Welch, Eric Engstrom, Courtney Duke, Patricia Neighbor
PEG Members Absent: Bill Beamer, Mike Faha,Denver Igarta, Gavin Prichard, Irene Schwoeffermann, Jay Sugnet
Other Attendees: Alan Lehto, TriMet; Art Pearce, PBPT; Mary Vogel; Roger Averbeck; Salim Mayberry
Facilitator: Jim Owens
Key Points and Outcomes: The meeting focused on TriMet's approach to service enhancement and how frequent transit and streetcar service is a key tool in planning for future growth in the City. Key points included:
- There is interest in exploring a role for the City in establishing standards for high capacity service, a la the City of Seattle.
- Planning for future growth and high capacity transit service needs to recognize that the City's land use patterns will be affected by new transit connections to Vancouver and Milwaukie, as well as by Southwest and Powell corridor improvements.
- With closing of the Central City streetcar loop, the City can begin to assess whether the streetcar is an appropriate tool to affect growth patterns in areas such as Outer Southeast.
- Transit is only one tool for encouraging development and what's already in place determines what type of transit works best.
- Equity considerations include the impacts on housing affordability from transit improvements. Major transit investments shouldn't be made without corresponding housing investments.
Presenter: Jim Owens, Facilitator
Summary: PEG members, staff and members of the audience were asked to introduce themselves.
Review of Meeting Agenda and December Meeting Summary
Presenter: Jim Owens
Discussion: There were no requested adjustments to the agenda other than combining the schedule for upcoming meetings with the update on the draft Plan review schedule. Other than minor edits, there were no comments on the December 12 meeting summary.

Update on Draft Plan Update and Schedule for Upcoming Meetings
Presenter: Eric Engstrom, BPS, and Courtney Duke, PBOT
Description: Eric and Courtney provided an update on the schedule, general contents, and process for PEG review of the Working Draft Comprehensive Plan Update. Plan policies are the focus of the first part of the review process. "Scenarios" will be available for PEG review in early March, followed by the TSP, mapping and project identification this coming summer.
Modal committees will receive presentations in February-April.
Three PEG meetings are assumed for the review of the Working Draft, beginning with the previously-scheduled January 30 meeting. There was consensus to modify the regular schedule of PEG meetings in order to facilitate PEG member attendance at the upcoming public workshops on the Working Draft Plan:
- Cancel the regular February 27 and March 27 meetings
- Reschedule these meetings for early-to-mid March and for early-to-mid April based upon the results of a doodle poll of PEG members.
Courtney will email PEG members as to their availability to attend the upcoming public workshops as observers. It is hoped that each member will be able to attend at least one workshop and report back to the group. The schedule of workshops is:
- February 19; 6:00-9:00 pm; Multnomah Arts Center
- February 26: 5:30-8:30 pm: De La Salle North Catholic High School
- February 28: 5:30-8:30 pm; Franklin High School
- March 2: 10:00 am-1:00 pm; David DouglasHigh School
- March 5; 5:00-8:00 pm; Smith Memorial Student Union, Portland State University
- March 9; 10:00 am-1:00 pm; Beaumont Middle School
There was general agreement to focus PEG review/discussion on the topics in the Working Draft Plan identified by staff for review. Jim Owens indicated that it is entirely appropriate to raise other network-related topics for discussion. Individual comments on non-network topics, however, would not be slated for discussion but rather forwarded to the appropriate PEG.
In response to a request that On-Street Parking be added to the list of discussion items, Eric indicated that City Council has indicated an interest in addressing this issue in the short term. He will keep the PEG posted.

Portland's Approach to Implement Regional High Capacity Transit Plans -- Art Pearce, PBOT, and Eric Engstrom, BPS
Role of High Quality Frequent Transit and Streetcar Service in Growth Management -- Art Pearce, PBOT, and Eric Engstrom, BPS
Description: A presentation by TriMet staff on that agency's approach to service enhancement was followed by City staff explaining how the City integrates transit into planning for growth. Service restoration is a goal of service enhancement planning.
Questions and discussion included:
- How are the responsibilities for planning for and operating high capacity transit divided among the various entities? Planning is a cooperative exercise. TriMet is wholly responsible for the bus and light rail system. Management of the street car system is split among TriMet, City and Streetcar, Inc. While WES started as a Washington County project, it is now fully managed by TriMet.
- It was requested that the PEG be briefed on the results of the upcoming visit with Seattle Metro Transit System, especially as it relates to that city's role in establishing and enforcing standards for high capacity service.
- How is the level of service for industrial areas determined? Each area within the City is individually assessed to determine demand for service, timing factors, etc. A challenge in providing services to industrial areas is insufficient densities to support transit.
- The City's land use patterns will be affected by new transit connections to Vancouver and Milwaukie, as well as by Southwest and Powell corridor improvements.
- There is a two-way relationship between development capacity and transit capacity.
- With closing of the Central City streetcar loop, the City can begin to look to other areas for their potential to accommodate streetcar service. Is the streetcar a tool to make radical changes in the transportation system in areas such as Outer Southeast?
- What is the latest thinking about the differences/advantages of bus rapid transit, light rail and the streetcar as development catalysts? There are numerous variables associated with each type of transit. It matters what's already in place in determining what type of transit works best. Transit is only one tool for encouraging development. A greater challenge is how to achieve higher densities in areas without transit.
- Consideration is needed of how bicycle facilities can in themselves foster development.
- How is high speed rail being integrated into the Comprehensive Plan? While the Plan will not directly address high speed rail, the City is participating in the state's planning process.
- Equity considerations include the impacts on housing affordability from transit improvements. TriMet is forming an equity advisory committee.
- Major transit investments shouldn't be made without corresponding housing investments. Notes from the Infrastructure Equity PEG's discussion on this subject will be provided to the group.
- Rather than fixed route service, a "cloud of service" concept is being explored to serve areas without high ridership.

Public Comment
Roger Averbeck: Some proposed frequent service routes would be on state highways, which poses functional issues. What will service enhancement plans entail; how will they address other potential frequent service routes?
Tyler Bump, BPS: When considering growth, it is not just growth in the housing stock but also employment growth. There is a mismatch between commute trips and the origin/destination of trips.

My Progressive friends are flooding my Facebook feed with posters dedicated to what they perceive as the "wit and wisdom" of avowed socialist and Democrat Party candidate Bernie Sanders. I thought I'd take a look at what passes for intelligence from Bernie Sanders and his acolytes on the Left. My comments are below each poster. Please feel free to chime and, most definitely, to correct me if I'm wrong:
You'll constantly see Bernie use this type of "cause" and "effect" rhetoric. To Bernie, too many millionaires and billionaires equals poor children. In this, he is just as sophisticated as the Climate Changistas who attribute every weather event and every societal wrong to climate change.
Here's the reality about those poverty stricken children, and it has nothing to do with the Koch Brothers (who are Bernie's favorite bête noire and scapegoat). In a free(ish) market system, there is one sure way to become financially secure: study, marry, and have children, in that order. If you skip studying (and this is true no matter how useless America's higher education system is), you're less likely to have money. And if you skip marriage on your way to children, you've virtually consigned those children to poverty:
A dramatic rise in unwed births and the accompanying decline in marriage are the most important cause of child poverty in the United States. As Chart 1 shows, in 2009, 37.1 percent of single-parent families with children in the U.S. were poor. In the same year, only 6.8 percent of married couples with children were poor. Single-parent families were nearly six times more likely to be poor than were married families.
The overwhelming majority of poor families with children in the U.S. are not married. (Overall, a third of all families with children at all income levels are not married.) But a staggering 71 percent of all poor families with children are unmarried. By contrast, married couples comprise only around 29 percent of poor families with children. (See Chart 2.)

Book – State of Wonder by Ann Patchett starts in Minnesota and sends us on an exotic journey down the Amazon River to the Jungles of Brazil. Pharmacologist Marina Singh receives word that her research partner, Anders Eckman, has died of a mysterious fever and that his body is buried somewhere in the Amazon Jungle. Anders was sent there by their pharmaceutical company to check on the progress of the development of a new fertility drug by Dr. Annick Swenson, because she refuses to respond to the company's increasingly urgent queries. Marina agrees to go to the Amazon for the sake of Anders's wife, who has her doubts about his death, and for the company that still needs answers from Dr. Swenson.
Marina arrives in the town of Manaus, where she eventually hooks up with Dr. Swenson. Marina discovers that Dr. Swenson has a hidden agenda regarding the secrecy of her research and the mystery surrounding the death of Dr. Eckman. Fast-paced and beautifully written, the reader will feel the oppressive heat, heaviness and crawly feeling of the jungle. Definitely a page turner and very thought provoking, especially regarding the issues of science and ethics. Recommended as a book discussion read. If you enjoy this book you may want to read these: Intuition by Allegra Goodman, The Sound of Butterflies by Rachael King, Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, The Constant Gardener by John Le Carre, and other books by Ann Patchett.

Anne Rice
"This sucks..."
I have found through much searching that I have but one purpose in all of this. I am but the medium through which this story is told, nothing more than a scrap of dusty yellowed parchment bearing the words of another. A 'scribe' you could call me.
The Request[edit]
"Roses are red, Violets are blue. Colors are pointless. A world eschew."
First, let me tell you that I did not ask for this. She came to me. I had been sitting alone in my study, wanting nothing more than to drown myself between the covers of one of my many musty old books. I kept them all around me on shelves, in boxes, and in small piles on the floor, where many simply collected dust on their dark, leathery covers. There was one book in particular I was keen on reading this eve; The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde. I so loved the way he could turn a phrase, and I was always partial to homosexual writing. Perhaps that is why she was drawn to me. I had barely turned the first page when the heavy wooden door of my study suddenly swung open. In the doorway, casting a long shadow across the oaken panels of my hardwood floor, was the pale form of a woman. Her dark hair, which seemed to lay over her head like a fine fleece, or the head of a silken mop, if mops were made from such material, had touches of gray throughout. I recognized her immediately.
"Anne," I said. "To what do I owe this pleasure?" It truly was a pleasure for a writer of her magnitude to have come to my meager study. I, too, was a writer, and quite an accomplished one at that, but she seemed to have a preternatural talent for spinning words in such a way as to draw a scene out so that it can be fully savored and appreciated. She especially had a skill for describing, in great detail, various homosexual acts of an erotic nature, something Mr. Wilde would have greatly loved.
"Jonathan," she replied. That was my name. I was born Johnathan Dyeria de Plume, into a poor family not far from where I now lived. As a child, I spent most of my time reading, and of course, writing, and amassing the collection of tomes that surrounded me now. Later, I developed a penchant for online writings such as blogs and wikis to occupy my time. This may have been the second reason for this visit. "I have need of someone to write an article for me."
I found myself fumbling for words at the proposition that this great author would ask for me to write an article for her! The whole idea seemed ridiculous to me, like a weightlifter asking a scrawny teenage bellhop to carry his bags. "An article?" I finally managed to spit out. "For you?"
"Well," she continued. "Not for me, really. About me. You see, I've seen many of these 'wikis' out on the Internet, and noticed that there was not yet an article about me at a particular wiki."
I knew which one she spoke of. I, too, had been there, and noted the distict lack of an article about her. This was particularly distictive because of this wiki's fetish for gays and the aforementioned Mr. Wilde. Surely we were thinking of the same site.
"The Uncyclopedia," I finished for her.
"That would be it. I would like for you to write an article about me," she stated plainly.
"But, Anne," I contested, "your Internet writing skills are legendary." I was of course speaking of her 1200 word diatribe on Amazon.com in response to a few negative reviews one of her books had received. It was a classic piece of literature to be sure.
"I know, Johnathan," she said, "but there is a problem with my writing this article. The Uncyclopedia:Vanity Policies would forbid me from doing so. So, I have come to you. And now I must go. I leave it to you, dear John. I know you will do me proud."
Without so much as another word, she turned, closing the door behind her, most likely making her way back to her native New Orleans. I suddenly felt sad for her that this city she loved so much was still, for a large part, in ruin. The narrow cobblestone streets lined with sharp, iron barred old fences and gates had been covered in mud and water that I wondered if they were yet recognizable again. But enough of those thoughts. I had been given a task to complete, and I promised myself I would not fail. Thanks for writing. We have some lovely parting gifts for you...
The Article[edit]
Anne Rice is the foremost authority on Gay Fiction. She has written many novels, most of which border on gay pornography. Her often wordy writing style delves into great detail in the explicit sexual scenes she lays out.
The Vampire Cornholes:
- Intercourse with the Vampire (1976)
- The Vampire Lesbos (1985)
- The Dancing Queen of the Damned (1988)
- The Tale of the Butt Burglar (1992)
- Memnoch The Dildo (1995)
- The Vampire Armando (1998)

- Blood Testicle (2003)
Lives of The Gayfair Bitches:
- The Bitching Whore (1990)
- .Slasher (1993)
- Testes (1994)
- Black Wood Farm" (2002)
(It's a good idea to read these novels before reading "Testes" and "Black Wood Farm" as the two series merge at this point.)
Single Novels:
- The Feast of All Scents (1979)
- Cry to Heaving (1982)
- The Hummy, or Ram-me the Damned (1989)
- Servant of the Bone (1996)
It is also rumored that Anne Rice murdered a litter of puppies, ravaged most of China and slaughtered a convoy of Gypsies all while drinking Schnapps while driving her Beetle. Satan is once said to have dated Anne but was creeped out by her constant eye rolling and frothing of the mouth.

Which Way do you Look When the Sun Sets?
Nothing interferes with my concentration. You could put on an orgy in my office and I wouldn't look up. Well, maybe once.
– Isaac Asimov –
National Geographic is running a Series called Test Your Brain. The episode I recently watched demonstrated how adept our brains are at focusing on the task at hand, and how dismal we actually are at multitasking. By multitasking, I mean doing two tasks at the same time, both requiring complete attention.
This isn't the same as 'background tasking', where we are doing one thing mindlessly while doing another thing that requires attention (like eating dinner while talking to our spouse or cleaning the house while listening to music.) It also isn't the same as 'task switching' where we are alternately doing several things (like typing a blog post and talking on the phone.)
This amazing ability to focus is why we accomplish the things we set out to do! We achieve our best work when we tune out distractions and concentrate on one thing.
There are times, however, when it is a good idea to check to see if the distractions might be of value to us. If we paid more attention to diversions, we would know how magicians do their tricks. We would be able to stop a pick pocket before they took our wallet. We would be good witnesses to what happened at an accident. And we would look both east and west when the sun is going down!
I suppose I could write more about multitasking, but my brain has headed off on the topic of diversionary tactics, and I fear it won't be back before lunch time…

Great thought, breathtaking photos!
Lovely! I think I just wrote the same thing – only about sunrises…..sunrise, sunset – both worthwhile distractions. Nice to stop by and stare west this morning.
I like the idea of background tasking. But sunrises and sunsets? They deserve our full attention!!!
I liked this post. I always look west at the sunset, perhaps because my bedroom windows face east and I almost always catch part of sunrise, at least in winter. My brother is a magician, and I must say, despite concentrating on his hands many of the illusions are still very hard to 'see'. However, I too believe that multi-tasking gives you nothing but too badly done jobs. I like to lose myself in my arts, crafts and even farm chores, sinking into the moment and enjoying it. Is the product any better? Is the outcome superior? I am not sure, but I do know I enjoy the process more.
What a fantastic concept and looking into the east……..I think I like that best….

Ryan Boatright scored 19 points and Shabazz Napier had 18, including eight in overtime, to lead Connecticut to an 82-79 victory over Providence on Thursday night.
Napier and Omar Calhoun hit 3-pointers in overtime to give the Huskies (14-5, 4-3 Big East) a 79-76 edge with 42 seconds left. Napier hit 3 of 4 free throws in the final 30 seconds to secure the victory.
"We played like a UConn team in the second half," said Connecticut coach Kevin Ollie. "That's the team I want to coach right there."
DeAndre Daniels also scored 18 points for UConn, whose 50 percent shooting (27 of 54), including 52.9 percent (9 of 17) outside the 3-point line, proved too much for Providence (10-11, 2-7), which shot 33.8 percent (22 of 65).
"You're not going to win many games with teams shooting 50 percent against you," said Providence coach Ed Cooley.
The Friars' 55-24 rebounding advantage prevented Connecticut from establishing much momentum, Ollie said. "You can't run without getting rebounds."
Neither team led by more than three points during the second half, when Boatright scored 12 of his points. Bryce Cotton's 3-pointer with 1:30 left pulled Providence into a 66-66 tie, and LaDontae Henton's layup with 18 seconds remaining for the Friars sent the game to overtime.
After a tough second half for the Huskies, "we found a way to dig deep" and pull out a win in overtime, Ollie said. He added that he was disappointed with his team's 19-for-27 free throw shooting (70.4 percent), though he conceded Napier made them when they counted.
UConn took an early 12-3 lead, as Providence didn't get its first field goal for 5 minutes. A 9-1 run put the Huskies ahead 25-10, but Providence scored the next eight points and closed the half with a 12-3 run to trail 33-32.
Cooley attributed Providence's defeat to its slow start, as well as stellar Connecticut shooting. "I thought it was a great college basketball game," he said. But "the transition defense wasn't very good early."
Kadeem Batts scored 20 points and Cotton 18 for the Friars, and LaDontae Henton had a double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds. The Friars distinguished themselves from the line, shooting 82.1 percent (32 of 39). In overtime, six of the Friars' eight points came from free throws.

According to a recent FBI report, 97% of all stolen computers are never recovered. Many people we know have had their Macs stolen, often in 'safe' situations. That's why we developed Undercover: a unique theft-recovery application designed from the ground up for macOS.
Accurately locate your stolen Mac
Undercover transmits location information from the stolen Mac. This information includes the coordinates from wireless location tracking, and the internal and external IP addresses, enabling the police to accurately trace the Mac's physical location, in collaboration with the Internet Service Provider.
"Having your Mac stolen can be heartbreaking, but if you have Orbicule Undercover installed, you've an excellent chance of tracking it down."
See who is using your Mac
If your Mac has a built-in or external camera, Undercover will transmit pictures of the thief and his surroundings every 8 minutes, making it even easier to identify the current user.
"If you're toting around an expensive MacBook on your travels, Undercover would be a wise addition to your software setup. It'll be too late to install it when the Mac's been stolen."
See what happens on your Mac
Undercover was the world's first theft-recovery software to send screenshots of your stolen Mac at regular intervals. These screenshots will sooner or later reveal the thief's identity (e.g. when chatting, reading or writing emails, etc.) which makes it much easier to work with law enforcement in order to recover your Mac.
"Great, finally auto-updating ! :)"
- Mhoutman
... and see it all live
Undercover's new on demand feature enables you to request locations, screenshots and photos whenever your stolen Mac is online.
New: Undercover Watch!
Undercover Watch can monitor your Mac and activate the recovery procedure when it leaves your network. It can also activate automatically when a thief uses the dummy account.
"Undercover helped me get my Mac back, and helped the police catch a wanted criminal." - Petter R.

text: Arizona, the Grand Canyon state, achieved statehood on February 14, 1912, the last of the 48 coterminous United States to be admitted to the union. Originally part of New Mexico, the land was ceded to the United States in 1848, and became a separate territory in 1863. Copper was discovered in 1854, and copper mining was Arizona's premier industry until the 1950s. After World War II, the widespread availability of refrigeration and air conditioning caused Arizona's population to boom and Phoenix to become one of the fastest growing cities in America. Arizona is the sixth largest state in the country in terms of area. Its population has always been predominantly urban, particularly since the mid-20th century, when urban and suburban areas began growing rapidly at the expense of the countryside. Some scholars believe that the state's name comes from a Basque phrase meaning "place of oaks" while others attribute it to a Tohono O'odham (Papago) Indian phrase meaning "place of the young (or little) spring."

To the editor: On behalf of Fair Tide in Kittery, I want to publicly thank Barbour Warehouse Store for their continued support of our recently completed annual coat drive.
In the past three years, Barbour has donated well over 100 coats, which we have been able to distribute to residents in our transitional housing program, Kittery Schools and local schools, and York County Shelter Program. While for many of us, a winter coat is simply an article of clothing, it is something far more important to those without the financial means to afford it. For many of our recipients, it could mean a warm day on the playground, the ability to walk to the store to get groceries in warmth, or the confidence they now have with a beautiful warm coat.
All of us here at Fair Tide are so proud of our partnership with Barbour and feel it is important the general public knows their commitment to the community, because they are quiet about their contributions.
While the coat drive is over, Fair Tide continuously accepts donations of clothing and household items on a daily basis at The Fair Tide Thrift Store at 15 State Road in Kittery. We have great working relationships with dozens of agencies, so we can quickly and easily distribute any such donation to an individual or family in real need.
I thank Barbour Warehouse Store for their continued investment in the greater Seacoast and the many individual and corporate supporters who help Fair Tide achieve its mission to help the homeless.

To the editor: We all remember 9-11 and all the people that died. But does everyone remember that not a single gun was involved. (No machine guns or assault weapons were used.) The men responsible for this terrible act used box cutters or small razor knives. Where do we place the blame for this incident that caused many innocent men, women and children to die. Do the box cutters get the blame; do the buildings get the blame; to the airplanes get the blame. NO! NO! NO! The blame is placed on the terrorists that caused that terrible disaster and nothing else.
How do we stop something like what happened in Newtown, Ct. from happening again? We probably can't but we can prevent it from happening so often. I feel the answer lies with the solution the airlines came up with, and it seems to be working for them. They put air marshals with guns on the aircraft. They allowed certain pilots to carry a gun if they wanted to and were certified to carry a weapon. I would guess that 90% of the pilots don't have a gun. Probably half of the airplanes don't have a marshal on them. I don't know, neither do you nor do the terrorists. So since the airlines instituted this practice, no aircraft have flown into buildings, causing many to die.
I feel the same practice would work well for the schools. I'm not saying every teacher should have a gun but if some of the teachers were trained, passed background checks, etc.; they could protect their children and themselves. If one of those brave teachers in Newtown had a gun, maybe they, and several children would be alive today. Intruders wouldn't know which teacher had protection.
The mad man intended to kill more innocent children based on the amount of ammunition police found with him. Maybe if the intruder had seen a security guard or someone with a gun, he might have changed his mind. When he heard the police coming, he killed himself.
No matter how many laws are passed it will never stop the criminals and mad men from getting guns or box cutters. There has to be a way to stop this madness. Maybe the solution adapted by the airlines is worth a try.

To the editor: How did taxes get such a bad name? They have been with us since the beginning of recorded history as payments to the government in exchange for military protection, public services and civil order. As Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. said, "Taxes are what we pay for civilized society."
It is easy to understand how politicians are able to use half the story on taxes to fire people up. Asked if they want their taxes to go up, who in their right mind, would say, "Yes, love it!" A promise to cut taxes if you vote for me? Of course! Sounds like a great idea!
The other half of the story promises better roads, excellent schools, affordable health care, safe food and drugs, a faster Internet, a strong military and a myriad of other goodies which benefit us without reference to what it will cost us in taxes — tempting stuff!
It's only when the direct link between costs and government services are made that the choices are clearly defined. What are we willing to give up to have taxes lowered? How much are we willing to pay to keep the programs that are important to us?
It's time for our leaders to start treating us like adults and initiate a conversation about responsibility for ourselves, for others and for the government. As the French minister Anne-Robert Jacques Turgot remarked over two centuries ago, "The expenses of government, having for their object the interest of all, should be borne by everyone, and the more a man enjoys the advantages of society, the more he ought to hold himself honored in contributing to these expenses."
There needs to be a direct link between enjoying the advantages and taking responsibility for paying them, which is or ought to be the way all of the citizenry acts together for the common good.

To the editor: What do you get when you mix a great group of firefighters, Santa Claus and a classroom full of excited children?
The answer is simple - a joyous celebration of Christmas filled with giving, caring and sharing. Through the generosity of the George Grenier Memorial Fund, the Dover Professional Firefighters, along with Santa, worked their magic in my classroom at Garrison School.
My staff and I wish to extend our sincere thanks for their continued commitment to this occasion, particularly during these difficult times. As always it was an unforgettable afternoon for all involved.
A very special thank you to Miss Caroline for all her kindness.

I've had the N5901 for 5 or 6 months now. It is actually quite nice and has never acted up. I've never had range issues or trouble of any sort. It worked fine the last time I used it (yesterday). When I went to use it today it wasn't working so I assumed I'd let the batteries die. Swapping them didn't help so I made sure I had good ones by testing them in a different keyboard I happen to also have. The batteries worked fine in there.
I assumed there was some odd issue with the dongle so I pulled it from the USB port and plugged it back in. After getting the "unmounted" sound from Windows, I plugged the dongle back in and now I get a loop. The device is detected, the computer sits for a second then the device disconnects. This repeats endlessly from what I can tell. Using a different port had no affect on the symptoms. I rebooted the computer without changing anything. Device manager shows the 4 (might be 5; it's hard to count when it goes so quickly) devices pop up with exclamations just as a normal device. Instead of installing drivers, however, they disappear only to come back moments later. It's as though the dongle is in some sort of power up loop.
To rule out the computer being the problem, I tried the dongle in several other systems (I happen to be an independent IT guy so I have many on hand). The same symptoms happen on all computers with any OS (XP, Vista and Win7). I am quite confused; I've never seen any device just up and die like that without acting up first, though I suppose it's possible.
Has anyone else had similar issues with these things? I rather like the device and would hate to have to shop for an alternate now; besides ... it's in warranty, still.
OK so you are not the only one with this issue I ran into exact same issue and tried multiple PCs. I can't complain as much because ive had this keyborad for almost 2 years. Did you find any solution to this or is there a replacment dongle available.

Good news for multiple sclerosis patients this week as the 10th disease modifying medication for MS (and the 3rd oral drug) was approved by the FDA. It's not a new drug as a form of the medication has been approved for treatment of some types of psoriasis for nearly two decades. For a while it wasn't even a drug – it was used an anti-mold treatment for sofas and shoes before its use was discontinued due to skin irritations. This week, however, Tecfidera (the drug many of us have known as "BG-12" during the testing phases) was approved and its maker, Biogen, intends to release the drug "within days".
First blush has Tecfidera perhaps a little bit behind Gilenya (which cut relapse rates by 52%) with a reduction in relapse of either 44% or 53% (depending on which of the two Phase III studies you read). These numbers are a good bet higher than efficacy rates of the injectables (in the 30's).
What has excited many people with MS since information of these trials has begun to leak out is the safety of the med. No "black box" warnings have been suggested by the FDA (as there have been with other MS orals) and it has the aforementioned 19-plus years of use in Europe to show long-term tolerability.
What may not surprise but will surely displease many of us is the expected pricing of Tecfidera. Biogen has not at the time of this writing released its wholesale price. Most analysts in the financial sector, however, are expecting a figure of $50,000-$60,000 per year. This number is in the middle of the two other oral meds, Gilenya and Aubagio.
Why, we must wonder, would a drug that has already been proven to be safe for another disease cost so bloody much? Mind, the drug isn't exactly the same as the psoriasis medication. As the way this drug actually "works" isn't really known, I have to assume that the changes were made to make the compound different enough for a new patent (and thus new price).
This new drug makes Biogen the lead dog in the pharma pack making MS drugs -- they own Tysabri, Avones, Fampyra (the "walking pill") and now Tecfidera. All of the current therapies are only approved for relapsing forms of MS though some meds are in different phases of trial for progressive forms of the disease.
I'm going to continue my current "treatment" but it's nice to know there is another choice for me if I decide to change. It'll be interesting to find out what my co-pay would be for Tecfidera. I'll let you know when I find out.
How about you; switching? Thinking about it? Going to talk to your doc about it? Upset about the price?
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Jon Hamm wasn't always dapper and smooth a la Don Draper. Back in 1996, he seemed more like Keanu Reeves in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" than he did his "Mad Men" persona!
That's when Hamm, now 43, was a 25-year-old contestant on "The Big Date," where he competed against a stuntman and finance student with frosted tips for a date with Mary Carter, a 25-year-old animation student with "a foot fetish."
The other two gentlemen tried to woo Mary over first before Hamm, whose job was listed as "waiter" rather than "aspiring actor," had a chance to (try to) work his harm by detailing his plans for a romantic date.
NEWS: Jon Hamm on the Pop Culture Obsession With His Crotch: "They're Called 'Privates' for a Reason"
"Well, [we'd] start off with some fabulous food," said the semi-awkward but completely endearing pre-fame star, "a little fabulous conversation, end it with a fabulous foot massage for an evening of total fabulosity."
Um, adorable. Somehow, though, Mary picked the stuntman leaving Hamm for the taking when Shonia got her chance to choose a date. Then--and, yes, this is crazy--Shonia also skipped over Hamm, opting to stick with the peroxide-friendly financier-in-the-making. In the end, Hamm, having failed to score a date, went home alone.
Let this be a lesson, ladies: If you can just look past the middle part, gum-smacking and awkward usage of "fabulous," you might be able to snatch up a Jon Hamm before the other gals catch on!

Raft rift bill floats through committee
Lawmakers took their first shot at settling the longstanding dispute over rafts on private property Monday when they passed out of committee a bill to give commercial outfitters the right to float rivers without fear of being sued for trespass by landowners.
Rafters from across Colorado came to the Capitol carrying paddle-backed placards with slogans like "It's My Business" and "River Tourism = Big $" and packed a committee room in support of House Bill 1188.
In hours of testimony, a legislative committee heard from concerned riverfront property owners, lawyers seeking clarity of law and from rafting advocates touting the economic benefits of their industry to mountain communities.
If landowners are allowed to close off sections of river, it could put a stranglehold on the routes outfitters can float, said Duke Bradford, with the Breckenridge-based Arkansas Valley Adventures.
"Any time you look at any river, there's private property throughout. Even the Arkansas, which is the most rafted river in the world," Bradford said.
The Colorado River Outfitters Association estimates that rafting pumps $142 million a year into the economy, as guides take 500,000 people on trips down 20-plus rivers throughout the state.
Floating through private land and incidentally touching the bottom or the bank would not constitute civil or criminal trespass, if the legislation passes.
The bill would only apply to waterways that have been rafted historically by licensed outfitters, a point of controversy as anglers and other recreational users want a guarantee to the water, too.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers voted 7-3 to send the bill forward to a hearing by the full House.
Rafters say a potential court fight between a Texas land developer and two rafting companies that use the Taylor River threatens the industry throughout Colorado.
Dallas-based Jackson-Shaw bought the property along a two-mile stretch of the Taylor and wants to bar two Almont rafting companies from passing by as they've done for more than two decades.
Lewis Shaw, CEO of the development, said there is plenty of public land on which to float.
"Why do they need my two mile stretch?" Shaw asked.
Another landowner in the area has complained of noise, rowdy behavior and harm to his fishing resort business from the activities of one of the Almont rafting outfits.
Jackson-Shaw, in a letter, has put the two rafting companies on notice that they will pursue legal remedies if floating continued.
And if a court finds in the development companies favor, rafters predict a waterfall of similar suits along private property throughout the state.
Courts have flirted with the right-to-float issue for three decades, but Colorado remains one of two states that have no definitive answers for the river bound.
Floating through private land without touching the banks or bottom is not a criminal offense, thanks to decades old legislation.
But it's unclear what happens if a raft gets stuck on a rock, or whether there is potential for a civil trespass suit, said Mark Hurlbert, district attorney for the 5th Judicial District.
The gray area has led to high tension in some instances, said Hurlbert, who spoke on behalf of the Colorado District Attorneys Council.
"The biggest thing we want out of this is clarity of law," Hurlbert said. "This bill does give a great bright-line rule that seems to take into account landowners' issues and small business issues."

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Tom Brady is as curious as anyone in wanting to see the New England Patriots unveil their new-look group of receivers at Buffalo this afternoon.
"There are always challenges to really determine what kind of team you're going to be like," Brady said. "The mental toughness, the work ethic, the core principles and fundamentals of the game have not been tested under game conditions.
"That's what it's all about," the quarterback added. "We all are excited to see where we're at."
The Patriots are coming off a tumultuous offseason that left numerous holes in the NFL's top-ranked offense last year. And that's not including New England's brief flirtation with Tim Tebow, who was cut last weekend.
Many of Brady's familiar security blankets are gone (Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd and Aaron Hernandez) or injured (tight end Rob Gronkowski). The four accounted for 3,548 yards receiving and 26 touchdowns last year.
In their place is a group of newcomers led by free agent Danny Amendola.
The Bills have a brand new look to them, too, after an offseason overhaul — the latest in the team's bid to become relevant again after missing the playoffs for 13 straight years.
Doug Marrone is the new coach, and he's brought in an up-tempo philosophy on offense, led by first-round pick EJ Manuel at quarterback.
"I'd be lying if I'm sitting here saying I don't expect him to do great things," Marrone said.
For all the changes the Patriots went through, they're still led by Brady, who enters his 14th season. And when it comes to facing the Bills, Brady has been nearly unbeatable since taking over in 2001.
Over that span, Brady has a 20-2 record against Buffalo, during which he's thrown 51 of his 334 career touchdowns.
"Same old, same old," Bills veteran defensive tackle Kyle Williams said. "Everything is going to revolve around No. 12 (Brady) and what he does. ... We know affecting him is the best way to beat this team."
Manuel will become the Bills' first rookie quarterback to start Week 1 directly out of college since Joe Ferguson in 1973.
Selected 16th overall out of Florida State, Manuel was the only quarterback drafted in the first round. The strong-armed and mobile player showed encouraging signs through training camp before hurting his left knee in a 20-16 preseason win over Minnesota on Aug. 16.
Manuel returned to practice Sunday after missing two weeks.
"I definitely feel like I'm caught back up," he said. "I wouldn't play the game if I didn't feel like I was ready to go.
Though Manuel's healthy, the Bills have dealt with a string of setbacks over the past two weeks.
Top cornerback Stephon Gilmore (broken wrist) is out. Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd's status is uncertain. He's bothered by a sore foot and also missed nearly the entire offseason before signing his franchise tender two weeks ago. Buffalo even had to scramble to sign kicker Dan Carpenter this week after rookie Dustin Hopkins strained his groin in practice Monday.
The Patriots and Bills are both expecting much out of their young receivers. The Patriots feature three rookies: Josh Boyce, Aaron Dobson and Kenbrell Thompkins.
The Bills are raw at the position, too, behind returning starter Stevie Johnson. Second-round pick Robert Woods and speedster Marquise Goodwin, a third-rounder, are being counted on along with second-year player T.J. Graham to make an immediate impact. Johnson isn't worried. The ever-colorful receiver opened the week with a big boast.
"I don't think (the Patriots) have got nobody to stop me," Johnson said.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick shrugged off Johnson's comment.
"We can't really worry about what they're doing," Belichick said. "We'll try to be ready on Sunday."
The Bills will unveil a new-look defense under new coordinator Mike Pettine. Pettine has introduced an aggressive, attacking style that will lean heavily on star pass-rusher Mario Williams and newly acquired defensive end Jerry Hughes to disrupt the pocket.
Belichick and Brady are familiar with Pettine, who spent the previous four seasons in the same position with the Jets.
"This year, Buffalo looks like the Jets, schematically," Belichick said. "Yes, blitz pickup will be definitely something we need to work on this week."
The Patriots are hoping to add more pressure to their defense after finishing 17th in the NFL with 37 sacks last season. They signed free-agent defensive tackle Tommy Kelly. Defensive end Chandler Jones -- who played under Marrone at Syracuse -- is healthy after being bothered by an ankle injury last season.

Do you clean and wash your carpets?
Hello everyone,
I thought I'd start a new thread to find out more about how the more experienced collectors take care of their precious rugs.
How often do you brush or vacuum your carpets? Do any of you use the vinegar solution technique to repel carpet eating critters? Do you use professional cleaners when they need a wash, or do you hose them down in the back yard
I would be great for newbies like me to know more about this from those of you who have tried it all before!

Hi Robert
If you go to our home page, then follow the link to our Archives, you'll find a utility that let's you search the site with Google. If you use "orvus" as the search term, you'll find the information.

I consider myself a relative newbie too but I don't have to clean my rug very often or use any pest repellent. The worst situation was when my husband was doing some work in the den and had to cut a hole in our wall to get to the electrical wiring. The tarp must have slipped by a corner of my carpet ended up with plaster dust completely covering it! I panicked a bit but simply used a light vacuum (no fancy attachments or anything) and the plaster dust came right up as if nothing had happened. This site has been a great resource for me since I found it a few weeks ago, so I'm sure you'll be able to find plenty of great information for you specific situation! Good luck!

Re vacuuming, for antique pieces, I generally limit to suction only, turning off the beater. For durable furnishing rugs, I'm less strict. Turning a rug over and vibrating it (I use a modified vibrating sander) can shake out a shocking amount of dust.
Re washing at home, the most important thing is knowing enough about dyes to know what's safe to wash. Vegetal dyes in antique rugs or recent "natural dye" rugs are usually wash-fast (and that's one reason that collectors prefer traditional dyes). Chrome dyes in rugs woven under controlled conditions should be safe to wash. Some synthetic dyes widely used especially in nomadic and village rugs after (say) 1910 are highly unsafe to wash. As a too-broad generalization, a whole generation of post-war village rugs is at high risk of running on contact with water. You can test dyes to an extent, e.g., by rubbing a damp white handkerchief color-by-color on the back of the rug. If you're confident that the dyes are sound, you can wash rugs at home, and many people do.
For scatter-sized pieces, fill the bathtub with cool water, add some dissolved Orvis paste (an industrial form of sodium laural sulphate, like baby shampoo without colorants, fragrances, or other additives), lower the rug in the water, wet thoroughly, agitate by hand, soak for a few hours, and if necessary repeat. When done washing, rinse very thoroughly (hosing it down in the driveway works). I use a squeegee to pull water off the wet rug, then a shop vac to get even more water out. Dewatering reduces risk of run. To dry the rest of the way, I made a frame with rope supports to hold the rug in a kind of net off the ground, then run a fan under it to encourage evaporation. It often takes a day or more to dry. It's hard work but almost free. For carpet-size pieces, I bite the bullet and pay a local specialty dealer to wash and dry.

Partnerships in Character Education Program
Montana Department of Education Abstract
Contact: Peggy Azure
Office of Public Instruction
P.O. Box 202501
(406) 444-5726
Montana Character Education Project
Grant Number: R215V0I0010
Project Period: 7/1/016/30/05
FY 2001 Award: $250,000
FY 2002 Award: $250,000
FY 2003 Award: $250,000
FY 2004 Award: $250,000
We live in a world that is rapidly changing. Once isolated from much of the trauma caused by rapid growth, crime, and violence, Montana is now feeling the effects of a shrinking world and rapid population growth in the state. Tied to those changes is an alarming increase in youth violence, substance abuse, and gang activities. This project recognizes the need to help young people in these changing times become citizens who are caring, fair, and honest; who respect the rights of others; who believe in justice; and who are responsible and trustworthy.
The Montana Character Education Project is designed to promote character education throughout Montana. The goals of the project are to: create school and community environments that support the development and demonstration of character in youth; enhance student academic performance and interpersonal and civic skills; and design and implement an effective character education model program that will meet the unique needs of a rural, sparsely populated state, which can be duplicated in both rural and urban areas nationally.
In order to accomplish these goals, the first year's activities include the formation of local Community Partnerships to develop action research plans at five pilot sites. Activities that will begin in year one and continue throughout the project include:
Intensive study of existing instructional models and strategies and their effectiveness;
Professional development opportunities for teachers, students, parents, and community members;
Annual Character Education Conference to learn innovative approaches and to share successful instructional strategies for promoting good character;
Kids Council and Youth Justice Summit sessions to establish students' voices in character education;
Dissemination of a Character Education Model program to foster character education statewide using what worked from the pilot sites; and
Identification and documentation of "local heroes" and role models who exemplify good character.
During the second year, the five pilot sites will begin implementing their action plans. Throughout years two, three, and four the school/community partnerships will support activities to strengthen good character in their youth. An Office of Public Instruction (OPI) Planning Team will coordinate the character education concepts in workshops, promote character education, and expand the project further. In year four, the statewide instructional model will be completed based upon the successful results from the five pilot sites. This statewide instructional model will be distributed in paper format and electronically. An evaluation of the project will be completed with the results posted on the OPI Website. The project will culminate with a statewide conference at which students will make multimedia presentations to showcase the work at the five pilot sites.

Hello,i am having difficulty of finding the right approach of my problem.(noobAlert!)
I have a FOR loop and inside i calculate a float number and add it in a vector.
Every iteration of the loop corrisponds to a float number and a name(string).
After the loop i find the min value of this vector,and my problem is that i cant find a way to "connect" it to the correspoding string.
I have the impression that it is a stupid question,and that i m searching probably in the wrong places, nevertheless i really need some help here!thnx for your attention..

Some time ago, a man wearing jeans, cowboy boots and a hoodie drove a dirty Ford Explorer into a carwash in Fort Worth, Texas. As soon as the car came back clean, he got it filthy again, and drove to the next carwash. He did this with every single full-service carwash in town.
The man wasn't suffering from a strange mental disorder; Patrick Kinkade was a criminologist conducting an experiment.
Kinkade left a large amount of loose change inside the car each time he dropped it off. When he got the car back, he counted the money still inside to see if any of it had been stolen.
He found, surprisingly, that money was taken from his car about a third of the time. The car was admittedly a fat target because Kinkade left lots of loose change inside it, but if the theft rate in Fort Worth is anything like the theft rate nationwide, it's possible that millions of dollars are being stolen from cars each year during car washes.
In a new paper titled "Getting Hosed," Kinkade and fellow researchers Ronald Burns and Michael Bachmann at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth found that there were certain factors that increased the risk of theft.
At some carwashes, Kinkade dropped off the car with a copy of Maxim magazine inside it — the magazine contains plenty of suggestive pictures of semi-clad women. Underneath a seat, Kinkade also left crushed beer cans.
The idea, he said in an interview, was to suggest the driver of the car was somehow "deviant." Kinkade said he and his colleagues wanted to explore the possibility that when people's behavior marks them as being somehow out of the mainstream, they are more likely to become victims of crime.
Kinkade emphasized he was not using the term "deviant" pejoratively, but as a technical term that distinguishes between mainstream and nonmainstream behavior. Lots of people view suggestive and explicit pictures in magazines, but they tend to do it in private.
"The experimental condition created the perception that the driver of this particular vehicle was perhaps a deviant," he said. "And what we did in order to trigger that perception was place a men's magazine on the front seat to suggest some sort of interest in sexuality and a couple crushed beer cans underneath the seat to suggest that the person probably had been drinking and driving."
Kinkade found that the cash was twice as likely to be stolen from when the magazine and beer cans were present. He also found that larger amounts of money were taken from the car, compared with when the magazine and beer cans were absent.
Kinkade said he didn't go back to the carwashes to confront the thieves, since the research experiment wasn't meant to be a sting operation.
The researchers stressed they weren't suggesting that people who become victims of crime somehow bring it upon themselves: Reading a certain magazine doesn't mean people deserve to have their cars stolen from. But the researchers speculated that criminals may prey on people who seem like they are out of the mainstream.
"You may be targeted because you can be blamed for your own victimization," Kinkade said. "The criminal may say, 'Well, I'm a criminal and I'm doing criminal acts against people, but that person over there is also a criminal and so he deserves it.'"
Some time ago, a man wearing jeans, cowboy boots and a hoodie drove a dirty Ford Explorer into a car wash in Fort Worth, Texas. As soon as that car came back clean, he got it filthy again and drove to the next car wash. Did this with every single full-service car wash in town. Now, the man was not suffering from some strange mental disorder. He was a criminologist conducting an experiment. And NPR's Shankar Vedantam is here to tell us what that experiment was.
Shankar, good morning.
SHANKAR VEDANTAM, BYLINE: Good morning, Steve.
INSKEEP: So why go to one car wash after another dressed that way?
VEDANTAM: Well, the guy in the hoodie and the cowboy boots was Patrick Kinkade from Texas Christian University, and along with this dirty car, each time he dropped it off at a carwash he left a large amount of loose change inside the car. And what he wanted to find out was how often does the car gets stolen from when I drop it off at a carwash.
Now, admittedly, this was a very fat target because he left a lot of money in the car. But what he found was actually pretty astounding, which is that almost a third of the time money got taken from the car.
VEDANTAM: And if you were to extrapolate this over the tens of thousands of carwashes that occur every year in the United States, the potential losses from theft at carwashes probably is in the millions of dollars.
Now Kinkade and his colleagues, Ronald Burns and Michael Bachmann, wanted to find out are these things that you can do that make you either more likely or less likely to become a victim of theft. And the experiment was designed to find out what those things were that increased or decreased your odds.
INSKEEP: The question is whether you are sending signals that incite being robbed.
VEDANTAM: Exactly.
INSKEEP: So what are the signals?
VEDANTAM: Well, Kinkade studies whether people's behavior marks them as sort of mainstream, or somehow outside the mainstream as deviant. And his theory was when you mark yourself as being somehow being outside the mainstream, it increases your risk of becoming a victim of crime.
And so what he did was experiment, sometimes he just dropped off the dirty car with a lot of money at the carwash. But sometimes inside the dirty car, he left a dirty magazine, too.
INSKEEP: Mm-hmm.
VEDANTAM: Here's what he told me.
PATRICK KINKAID: The experimental condition created the perception that the driver of this particular vehicle was perhaps a deviant. And what we did in order to trigger that perception was place a men's magazine on the front seat to suggest some sort of interest in sexuality and a couple crushed beer cans underneath the seat to suggest that probably the person had been drinking and driving.
VEDANTAM: I want to point out Steve when Kinkade uses the term deviant, he's not necessarily using it in a pejorative sense. He's using it in a technical sense, merely in the sense of saying, this person is acting somehow outside the mainstream, outside what you would expect most other people would do.
And so what he did was in this case the men's magazine he used was Maxim, which is full of, you know, suggestive pictures of barely clad women. And when the magazine was left in the car, the car became twice as likely to get stolen from, and not only that, when it had the magazine and beer cans, the amount of money stolen from the car on each of those occasions was nearly 50 percent higher.
INSKEEP: So wait a minute, so reading Maxim makes you a victim of crime.
VEDANTAM: Well, it's not so much reading Maxim, but letting other people know that you read Maxim potentially makes you vulnerable to crime.
INSKEEP: Because guys may read Maxim or some more explicit magazine in private more likely than in public.
VEDANTAM: Exactly. The fact that those magazines get read in private tells you that reading those magazines in public or leaving those magazines around marks you as somehow being outside the mainstream.
Now, Kinkade is not saying you deserve to get robbed because you read Maxim magazine. What he's saying is that when criminals deciding whom to go after they're making a series of judgments. So if you leave a lot of money lying in the car, that's a potentially rich target. If you leave your car doors unlocked in a public street, that's a potentially easy target. He's saying there is a third dimension to it. When you signal somehow that you are outside the mainstream, in the criminal's mind this potentially makes you an easier target. Here he is again.
KINKAID: You may be targeted because you can be blamed for your own victimization. The criminal may say, well, I'm a criminal and I'm doing criminal acts against people, but that person over there is also a criminal, so he deserves it.
INSKEEP: So this may explain why people who look a little strange who are homeless, who seem ill, they actually are more likely to be targets of crime? Is that what you're saying?
VEDANTAM: That is exactly what Kinkade is saying, right. And either by design or just by accident you happen to project yourself as being outside the mainstream, you potentially become immediately much more likely to become a victim of crime.
INSKEEP: Shankar, thanks for coming by.
VEDANTAM: Thanks, Steve.
INSKEEP: That's NPR's Shankar Vedantam, who shares social science research with us. You can follow him on Twitter at Hidden Brain. You can also follow this program @MORNING EDITION and @nprinskeep.

Opened by Jim Holsenback (jholsenback) - Saturday, 15 March 2014, 12:39 GMT
Last edited by William F Pokorny (wfpokorny) - Saturday, 07 January 2017, 20:09 GMT
User reported documentation inconsistency. Investigation led to the discovery of a bug in the setting of the current default value.
~source/frontend/renderfrontend.cpp reports the value "3" while ~source/backend/scene/scene.cpp sets a default value of "1"
Before for addressing this issue, are there any thoughts as to what the default value should be?
change #6197 corrects inconsistency so that used value is the same as the reported value of "3"
- Field changed: Status (Requires testing → Tracked on GitHub)
Now tracked on github as issue #180.

Pulling some things together
So, after a lot of talking (see the post on guild communication), I've a plan. Since I'll inflict the consequences on you, gentle readers (grin), I'll pass it on in outline.
I'll be staying in the guild. I'll be creating a 'guild within the guild' – the upper-instance section – for which I'm leader (gulp). I'll keep my other duties (not particularly onerous – guild enchanter, priest trainer). You'll get things off that as they strike my fancy. Some, however, you get sooner. To wit…
There are five of us in the initial group, and I get to persuade them to take particular specs. The players are a rogue, a warrior, a paladin, a priest (me), and a mage. Now I am quite aware that with the power vested in me PLUS the permission of these five players I could order the group to be absolutely "standard". This happens to violate my rule one – If it's not fun, don't do it. And rule two(g for guild) – communicate. So I asked them what role they really, really wanted.
Of first interest to me, the Paladin wanted to tank. And adding to "isn't it nice when a plan comes together", the warrior wants to dps. Which means I will be a healerpriest again. The mage likes crowd control games and tricks, which is fortunate as he's the best candidate for primary CC, as well as dps. And the rogue is an excellent performer in whom I have complete trust: backup CC, and he'll be killteam leader.
There are three other players of whom I need to take note in planning. First is a non (ex) guildie on whom I have a lot of leverage (as my RL daughter -grin), a healadin. I know how good a healer she is not just from bias but because she got invited (repeatedly) to join one of our server's top raiding guilds. I've got two more warriors on the way up – one is dps oriented, one is a tank. (heh – unlike almost every other guild on the server, we're tank and healer heavy — it's DPS we're lacking. Is it any wonder I'm comfortable switch-hitting?)
Articles you can expect from this include:
An explanation of my talent choices as I respec;
A discussion of how, as a healer, to work with a tankadin;
… and that's all I KNOW I am going to add to the queue. Actually, I think I'll add those two to the head – the stuff in line (like tier two talent analysis and early reports on the fade experiment and a discussion of weapon choices and… ) can wait.
One Response to "Pulling some things together"
Share some of the tanking and healing wealth, won't you? >__>
