I've paid out of pocket for 2 Lashers, a Marvel, and an Icon. I'm finally gonna use Medicare to get a new chair. Marvel is sold, Icon to be sold shortly, and one of my Lashers is giving me fits on account of needing a higher back due to an injury. So, I'm replacing it.
I had my seating eval today. The OT was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about seating, fitting, available chairs on the market and such. There was a DME rep there too. Both really nice guys, but not up to snuff on Medicare billing and reimbursement limits, at all.
I kept trying to stay focused on the K0005 ultra-lights but they kept driving me to spec out exactly what I wanted and let them deal with reimbursement and such. The OT had a great letter he claims works every time for an ultra-light and the DME kept insisting his billing person gets titanium ZRs and TRs funded via Medicare. Needless to say, I was (and am) super skeptical. I referred them to the Local Coverage Determination, the 'titanium isn't medically necessary' CMS publication, and the 'you can't unbundle titanium as an option' CMS publication, but they shrugged them off and said it won't be a problem.
I said, 'Whatever, it's your time (and money) that's gonna be wasted, not mine."
So, we shall see. I'm fully expecting to get a call from the DME with a complete rejection of everything we spec'd out (My ideal ZR), despite their reassurances. They seemed to want to believe they knew more about this process than me, which, is always possible. I guess. Having been in the Medicare/caid actuary field for nearly a decade, and through this process vicariously over and over and over again around here, I kinda doubt it.
I've already got the order form filled out, ready to hand to him, for an appropriate (and my preferred) K0005 chair to my specifications (Top End Crossfire T6).
This should be a fun ride. I will shit a literal brick of they pull it off, but I'm calling it now: no fucking way!

Mr. Lime and I got married in the middle of my junior year in college........the day after fall semester finals. We wanted to have time for a honeymoon during the semester break and did not want to wait until May.
During finals week I became a raving lunatic. I know that must come as a terrible shock to all of you. Every time I tried to study I'd think about wedding plans. Every time I'd try to check up on last minute details I'd think how I should be studying. Consequently nothing was being accomplished in either area. I did manage to scratch my newly blossomed, stress-induced eczema into a weeping, raw mess though. The upside was that my skin would now match the red dresses I'd chosen for my bridesmaids.
My darling husband-to-be came to my apartment one night and found me in a wild frenzy. He said I should put away the books and planners, make some tea, put my feet up and he'd go rent us a movie so I could unwind. He asked what I wanted. I kissed him gratefully and said a light, fluffy comedy sounded just about right. He repeated his instructions that I relax while he went out to get the movie. I exhaled a blissfully contented sigh as I mused over what a thoughtful man I would have the joy of spending my life with.
He came back a little while later and popped a movie into the VCR. What light, fluffy comedy did he rent to alleviate me tension and anxiety? The Killing Fields about the Khmer Rouge led genocide in Cambodia.
At the end of the movie I sat there nearly catatonic. Mr. Lime asked what was wrong. I burst out crying hysterically. He looked at me like I had three heads. I wondered between sobs how he thought this was supposed to make me feel less stress. He thought if I saw someone whose problems were worse than mine I'd feel better about my own situation. In between sobs I cried, "No! Now I just have guilt about the suffering of these people on top of my own stress! How can I savor any joy knowing about all the horror these people are enduring?!"
This weekend we will pass the 22 year mark. If we decide to go see a movie to celebrate he at least knows the definition of a light, fluffy comedy now.

Kansas Military Records
This entry was originally written by Marsha Hoffman Rising, CG, FUGA, FASG and Mary Clement Douglass, CGRS for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
The records of the Kansas Adjutant General through World War II are located at the Kansas State Historical Society. Few are indexed. Virtually nothing has survived from the Territorial Militia, which was pro-slavery. The records of the unofficial 'Free State Forces' are extant at the Kansas State Historical Society as are the records of the Kansas Adjutant General from 1861 to World War I. The Daughters of the American Revolution, John Haupt Chapter, have indexed the Kansas Civil War and Indian War militia. An index to the Kansas Adjutant General's report (1861'65) and a list of military men who received a bonus in World War I exist at the state archives. A list of soldiers killed in battle in Kansas regiments is given in Andreas' History of Kansas, 180'208 (see Background Sources for Kansas).
There is an online index of Kansas Civil War Soldiers online at Ancestry.com.
Post-Civil War veteran's census records include the 1883 index to pensioners, veterans, their widows and orphans, and the 1930 veteran's census. The original Grand Army of the Republic Post Records are in the Kansas State Historical Society Library.
Good biographical information is available on Spanish-American and World War I veterans in the manuscript department of the Kansas State Historical Society. The Adjutant General report entitled Index to Kansas Troops in the Volunteer Service of the United States in the Spanish and Philippine Wars is also available for research. The Kansas State Historical Society holds the photostatic copies of World War I enlistment and discharge papers of Kansas military personnel (see also Kansas Cemetery Records). The Kansas State Archives has a list of military men who received a World War I bonus. World War I Alien Registration cards for Kansas and World War II Selective Service 4th Registration cards of men born on or after 28 April 1877 and on or before 16 February 1897 are at the National Archives'Central Plains Region. There is an online index of the Kansas 353rd Infantry Regiment in World War I.
World War II library holdings at the Kansas State Archives include honor rolls for selected counties. Archives records list Kansas citizens who served. Arranged by draft board, it is not indexed.

Perez sent down as Affeldt returns to active roster
SAN FRANCISCO -- The impact of Jeremy Affeldt's return to the active roster might be felt more in left field than in the bullpen, which the left-hander rejoined Wednesday.
As anticipated, the Giants optioned reserve outfielder Juan Perez to Triple-A Fresno to clear roster room for Affeldt, who had been sidelined since late March with a sprained right knee. Not much was tangible about Perez's contributions, given his 0-for-8 performance in eight games. But he provided depth behind Gregor Blanco, the top outfield reserve who has replaced Michael Morse in left field almost daily.
With Perez gone and the bench thinned, Bochy acknowledged that Morse, who has been replaced by Blanco as early as the fifth inning, might stay in games longer.
Bochy said that if the Giants need an extra outfielder beyond Blanco, they could call upon some of their infielders. Brandon Hicks played some outfield in Spring Training and Ehire Adrianza is considered capable of diversifying himself. Joaquin Arias also has practiced in left field occasionally.
"When you have guys on the bench, you like them to be versatile," Bochy said.
Brandon Belt started 34 games in left field in 2011-12, but Bochy said he would remain at first base.
Bochy said Affeldt would be used in a variety of non-closing roles until he finds a niche. Eventually, Bochy would prefer to revert to a 12-man pitching staff if or when the starters begin working deeper into games.

STRASBOURG, France, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- The European Parliament was set to vote on major reforms, including a controversial ban on all fish discards at sea, to the European Union's common fisheries policy.
A report written by German Member of European Parliament Ulrike Rodust calls for an end, effective next January, to the practice of throwing back unwanted fish as a way to address chronic overfishing in EU waters.
The report was by approved by the European Parliament's fisheries committee in December,
The measure would oblige member states to manage fish stocks on the principle of maximum sustainable yield starting in 2015. That means that each year the catch couldn't harvest more fish than a stock can reproduce.
The vote represents the first time European parliamentarians have had a say in setting the European Union's common fisheries policy, which has raised questions about lines of authority in managing the resource.
Fishing industry representatives have objected to the "zero discards" and MSY elements of Rodust's report, calling them "radical" and urging they be phased in over time rather than all at once to avoid large-scale economic disruptions to fishermen.
But the lawmaker asserts the measures are needed now to preserve fish stocks.
"My report, which was supported by the majority of the fisheries committee, will bring an end to the December ritual of fisheries ministers negotiating until 4 a.m., neglecting scientific advice and setting too-high fishing quotas," Rodust told the European Parliament's news service.
The objective, she said, is to restore depleted fish levels by 2020.
"The good thing about ending overfishing is that not only nature will benefit, but also fishermen -- bigger stocks produce higher yields," Rodust added. "We will have to help fishermen get through the transitional period when there will have to be a bit less fishing for some species."
The moves will cause some to be driven out of the industry because there are "simply too many fishermen chasing too few fish" along some European coasts, she conceded, calling on EU members to reduce the number of active fishermen "in a socially responsible way."
The discard ban and MSY provisions are based on proposals forwarded by EU Commissioner Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Maria Damanaki, who said the "wasteful practice of discarding perfectly edible fish must be gradually stopped with clear obligations and deadlines."
But the European fishing industry groups Europeche and Copa-Cogeca have objected to implementing the MSY proposal by 2015, contending it is "too rigid and unrealistic," EuroPolitics.com reported.
The groups are calling for gradual and flexible implementation by 2020 at the latest.
Industry leaders also panned a provision calling for the landing of all fish starting this year as "radical" and a source of great concern, the website said.
It will be "difficult to achieve this so quickly because vessels are not equipped with the necessary measuring devices or storage facilities to land all the fish caught," the groups said.

Madison named best college football town
Badgers hometown tops 15 finalists
MADISON, Wis. — Madison has been named America's best college football town in a USA Today reader survey.
The home of the University of Wisconsin Badgers topped 15 finalists in a survey and received 50,000 votes.
Greater Madison Convention and Visitors Bureau Public Relations and Communications Manger Judy Frankel told WISC-TV they marshaled everything they had to get people to vote.
She said when she got the call from USA Today, she was told Madison was leading the list of finalists from the get-go.
A group of sports writers came up with the list of finalists. Blacksburg, Va. came in second in the voting.
Frankel said she's proud of the accolade.
"There's a wonderful Badger pride every game day in Madison," she said.
In the same issue of USA Today, Madison was also named in the list of the top 10 cities to find food while riding your bike.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- American teenager Lexi Thompson drained a birdie on the final hole Sunday, outpacing Stacy Lewis to claim the Lorena Ochoa Invitational.
Thompson's late heroics completed a round of 3-under 69 and put her at 16-under 272 -- one better than the hard-charging Lewis.
The 18-year-old notched her second victory of season and third of her LPGA Tour career.
Lewis settled for a 2-under 68 after missing a chance to force a playoff on the 18th when she missed a short birdie try.
Capturing third place at 13-under was So Yeon Ryu (69).
Inbee Park (69) took fourth at 11-under 277, followed by Pornanong Phatlum (71) and Suzann Pettersen (70) in fifth at minus-10.

Harrisburg lawmakers spend thousands on bottled water, newspaper subscriptions, citations, professional photography
Channel 4 Action News investigation reviews hundreds of General Assembly contracts
At a time when state lawmakers are dealing with fallout from state budget cuts and struggling to find money to fix deteriorating roads and bridges, a Channel 4 Action News investigation uncovered some expenses inside the Capitol building government watchdogs say are wasteful.
Watch Matt Belanger's report: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
Since 2009, taxpayers have paid for lawmakers in both the House and Senate to hand out more than 39,000 citations. These are printed awards, presented in padded covers with embossed House or Senate seals and a picture of the chambers on the inside cover, handed out for everything from anniversaries to retirements to milestone birthdays. Our review of House and Senate contracts shows taxpayers have paid $326,824 for those covers. And the total cost of handing out citations is higher -- that figure is only for the covers and doesn't include the salaries of capitol staffers who type up the awards, or printing costs. (Photos: Tax dollars wasted at capitol)
"Is it an essential government function?" Channel 4 Action News reporter Matt Belanger asked House Republican spokesman Steve Miskin.
"When you are doing things on behalf of the people of Pennsylvania, yes, it is," Miskin said.
Even high-ranking lawmakers didn't seem to be aware of just how many citations are being handed out at taxpayer expense. In fact, we found no one is keeping tabs on how many of the awards are being handed out.
"I wasn't aware of how many citations the House has purchased. That is something we probably ought to look at," said Rep. Frank Dermody, an Allegheny County Democrat.
"Are these just freebies for you to hand out to grease the palms of constituents to help you get re-elected?" Belanger asked Dermody.
"I think if you have a member of your community who has done great work, and you can acknowledge that, I think it's appropriate and makes them feel better," Dermody said.
Government watchdog Eric Epstein, of Rock The Capital, said the unmonitored awarding of citations at taxpayers' expense is an example of how Pennsylvania's Legislature "has grown to the point where it's totally out of control."
Another contract shows state lawmakers spent $5,192 for two exercise bikes for the Capitol fitness center located in the East Wing, and off-limits to the public.
We also followed up on one of our previous investigations into lawmaker spending and found lawmakers in the Senate are still charging taxpayers for weekly deliveries of bottled water to the Capitol building. Since 2008, our review of records shows the Senate has spent $87,750 on water deliveries.
"Do you need it?" Belanger asked Sen. Jay Costa, an Allegheny County Democrat.
"I wasn't aware of the amount being spent on bottled water," Costa said.
The Blue Spring water bottles are all over the Capitol building. The contract explains 80 bottles are delivered to the Capitol building twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Fridays.
"Most people who are trying to get by day to day don't have the ability to bill someone else for bottled water," Epstein said.
At least one senator made it seem like the expense was just a drop in the bucket.
"If you want a comment about whether we have water in there or not, I mean, should we have water? I mean, basically, we use it for tea or coffee," said Pittsburgh-area Republican Sen. Randy Vulakovich.
By law, Pennsylvania Auditor General Eugene DePasquale doesn't have authority to audit the General Assembly's expenses. But we asked him to weigh-in on what we found.
"Do you buy that? That it's just a drop in the bucket and it's not worth looking at?" Belanger asked DePasquale. "When you add up all the drops, pretty soon you get a bucket," Depasquale replied.
Another contract shows lawmakers in the House are charging taxpayers for their morning newspaper deliveries to the tune of $63,405.85 since 2010. In 2013, the cost is $13,807.65.
Rep. Joe Markosek, an Allegheny County Democrat, spent the most on newspapers, according to our review of House contracts. Documents show Markosek is charging taxpayers for $2,790.90 for five subscriptions to papers like The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, including higher-priced Sunday editions.
"It's such a relatively small expenditure. I'm personally from the old school and like a newspaper. I'm not one for reading newspapers or books online. I like my newspaper," Markosek said when questioned about the expense in Harrisburg.
"I read those newspapers every day. I think it's important for lawmakers to know what's going on in the world," Dermody said.
"Could you read them online?" Belanger asked.
"I'm old-fashioned and like to hold them. But we should look at reading them online," Dermody said.
"We do not need to be buying politicians newspapers," Epstein said.
Epstein said while the expense may seem tiny compared to the state's $28 billion state budget, it's a matter of principle.
"Twelve-and-a-half million other Pennsylvanians who make less than what these lawmakers make find a way to dig into their pockets and buy their own newspaper," Epstein said.
"We can't just snap our fingers and say, 'No more newspapers tomorrow,' but we are cutting back," Miskin said.
But that's exactly what DePasquale said he did when he took office. He cut off the office's $16,000-a-year newspaper order. Now, he reads the news on his cellphone, which he pays for himself.
"We eliminated those. We look at them online. You can look at my own personal phone, and I have all the apps on my phone for the state papers that have the apps," DePasquale said.
We also found four contracts from the past four years approving the Senate to spend up to $208,000 for a professional photographer to snap photos of senators with tour groups visiting the capitol.
Our questions about the expense caught some top lawmakers off-guard, because the Senate already has photographers on staff.
"It's something we need to take a look at. I know we have a photographer who takes pictures of Democratic members in the caucus on request," Costa said.
"You're surprised to see this?" Belanger asked.
"I'm surprised to see something along those lines," Costa said.
But the photographer, Joe Hottenstein, with Locust Grove Art & Photography Studio in Bainbridge, said he has taken Costa's photo before. When we asked to see some of the photos to show taxpayers what they received for the money, top Senate officials refused to release the images.
After Westmoreland County Republican Sen. Kim Ward learned of our investigation, she sent a statement, writing, "I was as surprised as you to find out that this guy was a private contractor because I just naturally assumed he was a state employee, and I'm really glad the Senate Administration ended his contract last March."
In fact, the Senate chose not to renew the long-standing contract this year to save money.
Epstein said that's a good first step, but there's more cutting that lawmakers could do to their own budgets.
"The problem is the basic attitude has not changed, and that is legislators can spend taxpayer dollars however they want," he said.

San Tomas Aquino/Saratoga Creek Trail, Reach 3, is moving toward completion, with an official opening in June, if all goes according to plan. It extends south from Scott Boulevard to Monroe Street in Santa Clara.
This is fantastic news for anyone who rides a bike. The path follows the creek all the way to Highway 237, going under all roads, including Highway 101, making for a swift commute in a bucolic setting. Considering that most bike riding in Silicon Valley requires a stop every quarter- to half-mile, there is no better place to ride.
As the opening date nears, I'll keep checking to see when the path opens, and let you know.

One of the California Citizens Redistricting Commissioners is publically defending the transparency of the process against allegations there were backroom deals.
"I went to dinner, often times with various groups of commissioners and not once were there any dinner-table deals," said Jodie Filkins Webber. "I think any of the Republicans that are seeking to potentially challenge the maps would wonder, 'what deal did I get out of it as a Republican?'"
Commissioner Dr. Michael Ward has claimed commissioners met outside the public view with line-drawers, the consultants in charge of creating visualizations for the commission. Ward said these so-called "dinner-table deals" have damaged the credibility of the commission.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"That certainly never happened," Webber said. "Mr. Ward did not go to dinner with the commission, but a handful of times at most."
Of the 14 commissioners, Ward is the only one to allege backroom dealings.

We're surprised it's taken this long, but somebody has finally gotten around to recreating World of Warcraft's land of Azeroth in PC strategy game Civilization V.
It's not some kind of fancy total conversion of the game or anything, so don't expect new units or rules customised for World of Warcraft players. Considering Civilization V only just came out, that sort of thing is going to be months away.
It's just a Civilization V map that looks like the land of Azeroth, right down to the maelstrom in the middle of the ocean. Just imagine that instead of Alliance and Horde there's the English and Indians and you'll be fine!
If you'd like to give it a try, you can grab it from fan site Civ Fanatics.

Okay guys, after listening to the Nine Inch Nails song "Perfect Drug", I brewed the thought of doing a tutorial on "how to draw Severus Snape", step by step. I'm sorry to say, but if you've seen the music video for "Perfect Drug", please watch it as you'll know why I did a tut on Snape. The resemblance between Trent Reznor and Snape are so uncanny. I've been sketching a cool pose for this anime Severus so it'll feed the fans a high voltage fume of "EEEK!". I tried to make him similar to the one in the Harry Potter series with this anime rendition by adding the subtle wrinkles beneath his eyes, and the sagging cheeks. Fortunately, he looks better in anime version than he does in real life. As I drew this tutorial, I was listening to various music, from "Safety Dance" to the NIN song "Perfect Drug". There was SO much inspiration rushing through me as I colored and inked him out once I had the ideal base sketch. You can find my process on my Facebook. Anyways, if y'all have a suggestion for the next anime character, please let me know in the comments below. I may consider doing your request quite soon since I plan on doing these anime tuts once a day. Thanks for viewing and ROCK AWN!

ForumsDevelopersAPI v3 Released
API v3 Released
Toodledo Founder
Dear Toodledo Developers,
Today we are releasing the next version of the Toodledo API to enable a new generation of apps to be built on top of Toodledo's powerful platform.
We have been working hard on this for awhile and some of you have been helping us test it. We had a soft release a few weeks ago and several apps have already been built that use version 3 of our API. We think that it is ready for an official launch, so here it is!
You can read all of the improvements at the above link, but here are the highlights.
1) Authentication is now done with OAuth2. This is much more secure and standardized. You no longer need to store a user's passwords. If a user changes their password your app doesn't need to know. You can also now request limited access to a user's account to give customers more trust.
2) You can now read and edit Outlines and Lists.
3) The repeat attribute on a task is now represented as a standard iCal RRule.
4) API documentation is much improved, including a built in API playground for learning how to use the API and sample code in a variety of languages.
We are encouraging all developers to think about migrating to the new API. The old API will continue to work for the foreseeable future, so there isn't a rush. Please let us know if you have any questions. We want to make the API really easy and powerful for all of you.
This message was edited Mar 20, 2014.
Hi -- Great to see an update to the API. I wanted to know if the list of changes on the linked page (https://api/toodledo.com) can be considered a complete change list, or if this is only highlights.
Basically, I'm interested in upgrading my existing application that uses the v2 API and want to know just how much I actually need to touch to get it working. The documentation is fairly extensive (both for v2 and v3), and I haven't been working directly with the v2 API for quite a while, so I'm looking for pointers without trying to do a line by line comparison of the two docs.
If the above mentioned list is complete, that looks like it might be enough to go on.
I'd appreciate any feedback from other developers about the migration process from v2 to v3.
Toodledo Founder
The list of changes on the main API page is only the highlights. There are a few smaller refinements and changes for consistency. A few fields were renamed, the error codes have all changed, and a few other things. It should be pretty straight forwards. We converted our Android app from v2 to v3 in a few days.

Houston helps Harris put jail center on fast track
With backing from the city of Houston, Harris County is reviving a long-discussed plan to build a facility to process inmates into the county jail, and to offer the mental health services that many of them need after they are released.
Commissioners Court on Tuesday authorized searching for an architect to draw up plans for the so-called joint processing center. The City Council is expected to follow suit by agreeing to pay half of the $250,000 needed for those plans in the coming weeks.
"The mayor's office is ready to participate with us in the study and the evaluation, but the first assignment is to pick somebody to do it, and we're taking the lead on that," Art Storey, director of the county's public infrastructure department, told commissioners on Tuesday.
The goal is to complete the proposal and cost estimate by June so that the facility could be financed through a bond referendum as early as this November. Other financing options also are being explored, said Bill Jackson, the county's chief budget officer.
The county has been discussing the need for a new booking or processing center for years as its current one has been operating over capacity even as the jail population has fallen. The city is partnering in the effort as it hopes an expanded intake facility would allow it realize its longstanding goal of shuttering its two aging jails.
The county and city had picked an architect, and even determined a location, for a similar but larger facility prior to a 2007 bond election, when voters rejected funding for a jail and booking center that was estimated to cost $245 million. It was the first time in 20 years that voters rejected a county bond.
Although the current proposal could - like the 2007 proposal - eventually include adding jail cells, the first step is to sketch out a processing facility. The building will not see inmates simply booked into jail, officials say, but will be designed to help connect them - especially those who are mentally ill - with social services after they are released, with a goal of reducing the number who end up back in jail.
Commissioner Steve Radack said the center "needs to go a long way in keeping the mentally ill out of jail."
"The last time this was really looked at, there wasn't probably as much thought in it as there is today in reference to the mentally ill," he said. "Today begins the new process."
A recent county analysis showed 920 inmates cycled through the county jail more than five times in the past two years, 60 percent of whom were mentally ill and 63 percent of whom were homeless.
"A joint processing center, I think, will provide an opportunity for us to do a much improved job for potentially diverting certain low-level offenders who are not a threat to society with mental illness from incarceration," said Steve Schnee, executive director of Mental Health and Mental Retardation Authority of Harris County.
Andy Icken, the city's chief development officer, said Houston's primary interest in the project is the goal of closing its jail facilities, which hold minor offenders for up to 48 hours. The city asked for, and received, $32 million from voters to put toward the original proposal in 2007, but spent some of that developing its Houston Recovery Center, a facility that opened this month where intoxicated people can be taken rather than being arrested. That is expected to decrease the number of people who end up in jails.
Icken said he and county officials have agreed to meet every two weeks on the new processing center, with no cost share ratio yet determined, although officials have said the county is expected to foot a majority of the bill.
"We've been very clear that we have a goal - the sobering center was a piece of it - to shut down the city jails," Icken said, adding the facilities cost about $25 million to operate annually.
Sheriff Adrian Garcia, who submitted a proposal to Commissioners Court in 2009 for a central processing center, said he has "always considered the central processing center a priority because I understand how it can save the taxpayers money and enhance public safety if the project is done right."
The facility, Garcia added, would allow arresting officers "to return to duty faster after dropping off arrestees."

Transsexual people are people who change their sex. Some transsexual people go from male to female. Others go from female to male. They change how they look and act. They see doctors who can give them drugs and surgery. They change their name and sex through the law.
People who go from male to female (MTF) are transsexual women. People who go from female to male (FTM) are transsexual men.
Ways to go from male to female[change | change source]
Transsexual women take female hormones. They may also take drugs that stop male hormones called androgens. Taking estrogen pills makes breasts grow. It does not make beards go away. It does not make voices higher. Transgender women may remove their facial hair so it does not grow back. This takes a long time and hurts. Some transsexual women with low voices have surgery to raise their voices. Other transsexual women try to make their voice sound higher and more female without surgery. Some transsexual women also get surgery on their genitals. This is called a vaginoplasty. This is done by making a vagina from the skin of their penis, which is turned inside out. Some transsexual women also have surgery to make their faces look more feminine. Some also have surgery to make their breasts larger.
Ways to go from female to male[change | change source]
Transsexual men take male hormones. This will make their voices lower. It will make a beard grow. It can also stop their menstruation. Some transsexual men look like any other man after hormones.
Some transsexual men have surgery. One surgery is removal of breasts (mastectomy). Some transsexual men also get surgery on their genitals. One surgery is removal of the uterus and ovaries (hysterectomy). Some may also get surgery on their outside genitals. One way takes their skin and tissue and makes it into a penis (phalloplasty). Another way takes the clitoris (which grows bigger with hormones) and puts it where the penis usually is (metoidioplasty). The place where urine comes out (urethra) can be run through the new penis. The phalloplasty looks more like a penis. A metoidioplasty has more sexual function, but it is 5 or 6 centimeters long. Some ways also make a scrotum from the labia. They may also have the vagina taken out or closed.

Changed laws will mean more IT scrutiny
Prudent risk management should include IT and cloud security considerations.
CIOs and IT managers face increasing security pressures and accountability because of the fallout from the global financial crisis and the move to entrust third party providers with sensitive corporate data.
Recent changes to the Corporations Act 2001 means that board members will increasingly scrutinise the IT risk and security culture of an organisation, which will impact CIOs in a number of ways, including the need to do due diligence when handing over sensitive corporate data to cloud service providers
Late last year a raft of regulations were pushed through to foster greater accountability among board members, according to SecurusGlobal founder Drazen Drazic, who said this was in response to the lack of corporate oversight that triggered the events leading up to the global financial crisis.
Specifically the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011 introduces remuneration provisions to prohibit executives from hedging their personal exposure to company risk.
Additionally, the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) will pursue greater board-level culpability following last year's landmark Federal Court finding that the eight directors of collapsed property group Centro breached their duty by approving accounts that failed to disclose billions of dollars in short-term debt.
While at first the changes appear to relate to financial matters only and will take time to come into effect, Drazic said it would encourage companies to take less risks in general and manifest itself at the IT level in greater risk management protocols and tighter security controls.
"After all the company collapses in recent years, the Australian government, ASIC, and other regulators started looking at role of board and directors," Drazic said. "In recent times they have set down tougher guidelines in terms of expectations of what they're doing."
"They should look at the risk management of an organisation and should be charting that message down to the management team that runs the company."
Specifically Drazic said the changes would be felt when sensitive customer data was hosted remotely.
"Particularly with big decisions such as moving stuff to the cloud, which is a lot of corporate data, [the board is] going to take a far greater interest."
Tech companies use their best marketing spin to cloud the judgment of CIOs, and often cloud computing is promoted as a cure-all for a company's IT headaches, from maintenance and updates of systems to storing your data in-house.
But CIO must remember they are essentially outsourcing a company's security when using remotely hosted applications and services, according to Sourcefirce cloud technology group VP Oliver Freidrichs.
As a result strong due diligence must be performed on a potential provider, he said, from the vulnerabilities of the technology, right down to who has physical access to the building and servers.
"It's really a conversation with your cloud provider," Freidrichs said. "It does include all the layers, at the physical layers, specifically at the data centre layer, investigate the location, the physical measures, the questions around who can has access, what kind of access is required is it biometric, multi-factor, what does someone need to get into the data centre."
"All the way down to who's able to access the data, moving up a layer in to the system level, what is their patch policy, vulnerability management policy, how often do they update the operating system, what kind of technologies do they use to protect - firewall, intrusion protection, malware."
"Many providers are used to fielding those questions at this point so many have that information available."
He said guidelines were available from the US National Institute of Standards.
Drazic said that there were a range of organisations and standards bodies publications that set out best practice for companies when they consider moving services to the cloud, including IT governance professional body ISACA and Australian Standards.
The AS/NZS ISO 31000 Risk Management is world's best practice, he said, and was developed based on the local Risk Management Standard, AS/NZS 4360:2004.
Despite the standards being detailed years ago, the information is still relevant for using cloud and outsourcing services providers.
"A lot of companies may think have their bases covered, then they start to read the documents and realise that there's stuff they have missed."

Installing a build slave is easy on Debian-like systems: apt-get install buildbot pretty much does the trick. Edit /etc/default/buildbot appropriately to get it to start up at boot-time.
On FreeBSD, it's not too bad, either: pkg_add -r buildbot will install the software, but you still must create the buildbot user. I just add
su buildbot -c "/usr/local/bin/buildbot start /usr/local/buildbot/ccl"
to /etc/rc.local to arrange for start-up. So I'm a fossil. Sue me.
Create a zone in the usual way. Then, do the following in the zone:
# pkgin install py27-buildbot-slave subversion-base gcc47 gmake m4 # useradd -u 5000 -g 5000 -c "Buildbot" -s /usr/bin/false -d /home/buildbot buildbot # mkdir /home/buildbot # chown buildbot:buildbot /home/buildbot
To make it run at startup, you can follow the directions at http://wadofstuff.blogspot.com/2007/01/smf-manifest-for-buildbot.html. (See attachment for a local copy.)
To import the manifest file (after editing it to suit):
# svccfg validate buildbot.xml # svccfg import buildbot.xml
Then, to enable it:
# svcadm enable svc:/site/application/buildbot:default
Mac OS X
Just cheat:
# easy_install buildbot-slave
Create a buildbot user, and create the slave (as the buildbot user) in the usual way:
% buildslave create-slave ccl setf.clozure.com:9989 slave-name slave-password
See http://buildbot.net/trac/wiki/UsingLaunchd for information on how to make launchd start the slave at boot time.
Follow the instructions on http://buildbot.net/trac/wiki/RunningBuildbotOnWindows. You do have to install buildbot in addition to buildbot-slave.

On Aug. 29, 2005, New Orleans was on track to finish the year as the deadliest city in America, again. Crime had become atomized here--it was part of the culture, the air, the dark humor of the place. Under normal circumstances, criminologists believe, there are two ways to stop a cycle of gang violence: either dismantle the gangs or disrupt their business. In New Orleans, both happened overnight. Hurricane Katrina sundered what no man could, sending the criminals fleeing in all directions. So now there was a mystery: What would happen next? What would become of the criminal population when stripped of its neighborhood...
The Gangs of New Orleans
Before Katrina, New Orleans had a murder rate 10 times worse than the U.S. average. The killers evacuated too. Tracing the criminal exodus.

Tallinn is a beautiful city with many buildings that date back as far as the 1400s. We meandered through the cobblestone streets taking pictures of the many interesting architectural features and street activity. After two days which had started at 4AM, we had the luxury of sleeping a few extra hours. It dawned on us that we had been in four different countries in 24 hours. Our plan for the day was to meet our friend Judy, from the Vilnius program, who was arriving from Helsinki by ferry. We caught a taxi to the ferry building only to discover her ferry had arrived at another terminal a twenty minute walk away.
We soon found our friend and began to walk towards the Old Town. While we walked our friend shared her tales of her past few days in Finland. We had learned that there was a market near the docks and we decided to stop in to look for a few last gifts. It was comprised of stalls selling a variety of products, but especially clothing. As we wandered through the market we discovered a stall which contained memorabilia from WWII. The stall had Nazi and Russian uniforms, guns, helmets and medals. We saw a bottle of Fuhrerwein, wine with an image of Hitler, but what was most appalling was a T-shirt imprinted with the words "Adolf Hitler European Tour 1938-1945" as if he were a rock band. This was not a "collectible", but a newly manufactured good. When we took pictures, the stall owner became quite agitated. We saw these products at many stalls in this market. At one stall we saw armbands with yellow stars stitched on, these were worn by the Jews to isolate them and to identify them for extermination. We were sickened by this vivid reminder. Our plans to be just tourists were thrown awry as we we were forced to recall the horrors that occurred in this area. At one stall I asked why they sold such items, and was told because people purchase them, especially young men. We remembered that the neo-Nazi rally in Vilnius this past March was composed of such participants. What was distressing was that this area was seriously affected by the war and it was being treated like a joke. After this sobering moment we attempted to resume our tourist role, but it continued to come up in our discussions. Interestingly we did not see the Hitler t-shirts for sale in the many shops of the Old Town.
We found Estonia to be more costly than either Latvia or Lithuania as it was clearly a tourist region. By costly we mean a nice meal would cost at least the equivalent of $20 or more. In Vilnius and Riga such meals could cost half of that. Many of the buildings are quite old and the city has done a nice job of posting historical plaques for English speakers. The city has a well preserved old town where each street is worthy of a photograph. There are many shops with handcrafts as well as the linen and amber for which this area is known. There is also a city wall on which one can walk.
One of the highlights of our time in Tallinn was when we spotted a group of women who told us they were Moldovan. They were wearing brightly colored and richly decorated native costumes. They were all gathered around a telephone as one of them tried to determine if her daughter had given birth yet. When they spotted us taking photographs they asked us if we would like them to sing for us. We responded "absolutely" and were treated to a song and dance. Colorful skirts swirled as they moved and we enjoyed both the music and the visual spectacle.
The following morning we caught our bus to Riga which now felt like an old friend. We exited the bus station and saw our hotel in the distance. It was a beautiful sunny day for our last day of travel and we remembered how on our departure from Riga we had to drag our bags in the rain across the trolley tracks and to the bus station. Upon our arrival, Fran had the disconcerting discovery that her wallet was missing. After trying to verify if it had been discovered, we reported her credit cards lost before venturing out. Fortunately her passport remained with her.
We wanted to find the area of the city where the old synagogue had been housed and was set on fire by the Nazis with 300 people locked in. It stood in a run-down area of the city which was very Russian and had some very old wooden houses. We had been warned that it was not an area one would want to be after dark so we wanted to see it during the afternoon.
We walked through an underground tunnel where it felt as if we had entered another world. When we emerged we walked beneath an overpass lined with shops selling more war memorabilia. Fran began to take a picture of it and a hand suddenly appeared over her camera lens. Attached to it was a rather rough looking Russian man. Apparently those who sell these products prefer to operate under the radar. In one of the shops I found the deck of Russian cards I had been looking for with the Cyrillic Russian letter for the Queen, King and Jack. We proceeded down the street past a Russian Orthodox Church filled with paintings of icons against gold.
A little beyond it we found a memorial to the synagogue which resembled a ruin. We believe it may be the same footprint as the synagogue. The floor was composed of cracked red and white tiles and decorative elements were set into the walls. We both were thinking of the 300 Jews who were burned alive there as we walked on that floor. Flowers on the ground spoke to someone else who had paid their respects. Also on the site was a memorial to those who had saved Jews during the Holocaust. The old ghetto was in that area and we found one of the streets that bordered it. The street was lined with worn wooden houses now inhabited by the Russian community of Riga.
We walked through the streets until we arrived at the market. Part of it is open air and another part has been housed in converted Zeppelin hangars since 1930. As we walked towards our hotel a woman approached Fran as she took a photograph of the hangars. She proceeded to pantomime the attack by the "Deutshland Fascists" with sound effects and broad hand motions. She said "Bom, Bom, Bom" to describe bombs falling as well as imitating the sounds of machine gun fire while she held an imaginary machine gun. She then held her hand at a level to indicate the height she had been at that time. We didn't understand her language, but her gestures told a vivid story. While young men purchase Nazi memorabilia, she remembers with horror what the Nazis did in Riga.
As our trip comes to an end, I want to do a special thank you to Fran, my traveling companion, co-editor and contributor. I've learned that writing a blog every day that deals with some very serious topics is a challenging and time consuming effort. I often felt as if I were writing on deadline as the activities of the day would quickly become old news as new activities eclipsed them. While the purported purpose of our trip was to learn a language, the cultural and historical components were an important part of the total experience. It greatly helped to be with someone who was sharing the same experiences so we could discuss, process and capture our responses. Fran also generously shared many of her wonderful photos, not to mention her spare camera, after mine was damaged.
So what now? I anticipate writing a few more entries to summarize what we took away from the trip. These were experiences which I will continue to process in the weeks ahead. I will also share my artistic efforts around the themes that emerged in this journey. In October I will meet up with Fran in Utah where we join a group of Jewish genealogists doing research at the Family History Library and will report on any discoveries and the search process itself. I welcome your comments on this blog and would be happy to share more specific information with anyone who is exploring such a trip. And finally, as I get photos organized I will put out some web albums with links in the blog and invite you to take a virtual trip along with us.

A beach in De Haan, Belgium, might seem like an unusual place to think about money and exchange. Yet for nearly a century, French and Flemish speaking boys and girls have gathered here each summer, creating an economy of paper flowers, paid for with handfuls of shells gathered from the shore. The children use shells because, as one of them calmly observes, "children don't give each other real money . . . It's a game." As is so often the case, however, the world of childhood play mirrors more grown-up themes. Katrien Vermeire's documentary, Der Kreislauf, captures a day on this beach and its world of exchange, while also offering a meditation on the meaning and measure of value.

Achieving economic growth and sustainable development requires that we urgently reduce our ecological footprint by changing the way we produce and consume goods and resources. Agriculture is the biggest user of water worldwide, and irrigation now claims close to 70 percent of all freshwater for human use.
The efficient management of our shared natural resources, and the way we dispose of toxic waste and pollutants, are important targets to achieve this goal. Encouraging industries, businesses and consumers to recycle and reduce waste is equally important, as is supporting developing countries to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption by 2030.
A large share of the world population is still consuming far too little to meet even their basic needs. Halving the per capita of global food waste at the retailer and consumer levels is also important for creating more efficient production and supply chains. This can help with food security, and shift us towards a more resource efficient economy.

TeX Live 2019 is available for download now. It is also available on DVD from TUG and other user groups.
You can acquire TeX Live in many ways. For typical use, we recommend the first two:
The last general update of packages and programs for the DVD was made around 10 April 2019. However, we continuously update packages in TL as they are released to CTAN. Post-installation updates are done with the tlmgr program. tlmgr also provides many other TeX installation options and features, explained in the tlmgr documentation.
Although it is possible to update continuously, it is not necessary or even recommended. The set of packages and programs that were included in the official release will most likely suffice unless you know that you specifically need updates made since then. That set is also the only one which gets tested as a coherent release.
Older releases of TeX Live are available (under systems/texlive). You might find one useful if you need a release of particular vintage. There's no problem with having multiple versions of TL installed (in different directories); in fact, the default directory structure is arranged to facilitate this. After installation, just set your PATH accordingly.
This page is about acquiring the "original" TeX Live—the version of TeX released by the TeX user groups. If you want to get TeX as it is packaged by the various distros, see the information available from the particular distro you want. Some distro links.

The battle to keep a 13-year-old who was declared brain dead after suffering complications from a tonsillectomy headed to court on Friday, with the girl's family asking a judge to keep her on life support until at least until after Christmas.
UPDATE: Judge Orders Oakland Hospital to Keep Jahi McMath on Life Support
The civil hearing is scheduled to be held at 1:30 p.m. at the Alameda County Courthouse.
In court papers, the family of Jahi McMath is hoping that Children's Hospital in Oakland will keep the 8th grader on life support, release her medical records and give her a feeding tube. Chris Dolan, the family's attorney, also is asking the court to give the family 48-hour notice should doctors decide to take her off of life-support. He filed the court papers on Friday at probate court in Berkeley.
While some of the doctors and nurses have been "very compassionate," the court request says that other staff members at the hospital have treated the family "quite coldly," where they have been told that "if the ventilator is removed, Jahi will die within a minute or two."
MORE: "Urgent" Request to Keep 8th Grader Jahi McMath on Life Support After Tonsillectomy
Specifically, Jahi's mother, Latasha "Nailah" Winkfield singled out Dr. David Durand, chief of pediatrics, in her court request seeking a temporary restraining order against the hospital. In Winkfield's telling of it, Durand said he would not authorize a feeding tube because Jahi is "dead, dead, dead."
"He was condescending and almost angry as if I were stupid," she wrote. "I am not stupid. I know my daughter and she is still here."
For its part, Children's Hospital has been limited in what doctors can say regarding the escalating battle because of state and federal privacy laws.
Late Thursday, Durand released a statement that read, in part: "We want the public to know that the family has not permitted us to discuss the medical situation. We are unable -- without the family's permission--to talk about the medical procedure, background or any of the details that are a part of this tragedy. Details that would provide transparency, openness and provide answers to the public about this situation."
His statement further added that he would love to be able to correct "misperceptions" but hasn't been able to.
Dolan said Jahi's mother doesn't want to give such authorization because she doesn't want the hospital talking about Jahi's condition to the media before she is told anything.
Despite two EEG tests earlier this week that proved negative, Jahi's family believes the 8th grader can still recover from a Dec. 9 tonsillectomy that led to severe complications. Three days later, she was declared brain dead.
In the court restraining order request, a few new details about Jahi's hospital stay from her family's perspective were disclosed.
Originally, the family was told that Jahi's tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy would be an "in and out procedure."
Sometime after the seemingly uneventful surgery, Jahi was taken to the ICU and Winkfield said she was told the staff had to fix her ICU. About 45 minutes later, Jahi was brought back to her room and was sitting in bed, bleeding from her mouth.
"It was normal," Winkfield said the nursing staff told her.
Winkfield then said she asked for a doctor. Instead, she said she was given a bigger container for Jahi to bleed into, and later, a suction device to suction out the "increasing volume of blood," the court request states.
Jahi's grandmother, Sandra Chatman, who is a nurse elsewhere, made "multiple" requests for a doctor. But Jahi ended up suffering from a heart attack "and fell into a comatose state," the papers state.
Though she was declared "brain dead," her heart beats and her kidneys function, the church-going family states, and "she is not gone from her body."
In an impassioned written plea to the court, Winkfield wrote: "She is alive. I believe in God and that He can heal all. God created Jahi. He can save her. Help me please."

Did you know Europe's historic cities are only three per cent of the world's land mass, and could comfortably fit inside South Africa? Nevertheless, European cities have had a disproportionately massive influence on the rest of the world, through both urban history and Christian identity.
Urban history
Harvie Conn says two of the four big 'urban waves' began in Europe. In the second urban wave of commercial and feudal cities from the eleventh century, Europe's walled cities gave protection to its citizens and enabled commerce that would takeover the world. In today's fourth wave of global cities, Europe's great metropolitan areas of London, Paris and Berlin are linked. Rotterdam connects the Randstad of the Netherlands to the Rhine-Ruhr of Germany. There are urban corridors between London and Frankfurt and between Milan and Barcelona. Europe's sheer number of multinational companies, banks and organisations suggest it is still a continent of influence, if not inspiration.
Christian identity
Crucial points of development in the historic church have been in Europe. Think of Celtic Christianity, monastic mission movements, the Reformation and the World Missionary Conference in 1910, and today of church planting networks, the migration of new Christians and emerging churches.
Today, Europe is made up of about fifty sovereign states (mostly democratic republics), each with their own histories, cultures, languages and a wide spread of Christian traditions. Western Europe (Protestant/mixed) is different from Southern Europe (traditionally Roman Catholic), Nordic Europe (Lutheran), Eastern Europe (Orthodox) and Central Europe (largely atheist). Through migrant Christians, Pentecostalism is everywhere. The contours of Europe's map of faith is not so much being withdrawn as being redrawn.
Understanding urban ministry
Today's cities are a dazzling constellation of global cultures, a kaleidoscope that resembles a world atlas. In the urban centres of Europe today, we meet the whole world. There is more Christian ministry going on in them than we usually give credit for, ranging from serving people in pain, developing leadership, community transformation, to church renewal and multiplication.
I believe that:
- Christ is already present in the urban world. We do not bring Christ for the city. Cities have had their share of leaders with messiah complexes. In dark places is God's presence.
- Church is the agent of God's mission in the city. God has not given up on his people, whether local churches or missions, new or old forms, European or African/Asian partners.
- Cities are more of a gift than a problem. The city is a gift of grace. The church is often sick and unhealthy but where hurt and pain is engaged with there is hope of renewal.
Cities are extraordinarily successful and overwhelmingly destructive. David Harvey's recent book "Rebel Cities" is a Marxist critique of urbanism, and although secular, has more zeal for a healthy urban world than do many churches.
Though Europe is home to large numbers of Christians, we do not think spiritually about cities, either blaming them for what is wrong with the world or taking a glossy view that ignores its darker side. Harvey's critique, based on the work of sociologist Robert Park, is that cities are under the control of wealth producers who have dispossessed masses of people to any right to the city. Power is kept in the hands of small political and economic elites who shape the city after their own needs and heart's desires.
Urban mission needs a similar but biblically informed critique if it is not to be condemned to putting patches on the sores of the broken in the city. Bible-believing Christians are increasingly aware that the Gospel is not only about personal sin and individual salvation, but are still slow to recognise public sin and corporate spirituality.
Lausanne III affirmed that there is a mission to the market place. Recently Dr. Chris Wright spoke about the Lausanne III commitments in the Netherlands and concluded with the urban mission commission. Jeremiah 29:7 says "Seek the peace and prosperity (shalom) of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper." I never heard a European evangelical leader speak like that before. So can our broken churches change peoples and cities? This is the Gospel.
The Good News redeems people
All people are created in God's likeness and they all need faith and life. We seek deep change. "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." (Romans 12:2) The Gospel is not anti-urban but is transformative of people and worlds. Urban ministry serves and heals, prays and forgives, preaches and teaches, trains and empowers., reaching the parts of people that others (including Marxists) cannot reach.
The Good News redeems cities
God cared for Nineveh more than Jonah. Jesus cried over Jerusalem. What are cities but created human institutions and environments? A Church of England bishop recently spoke of his PhD entitled: "Can companies sin?" You can guess the answer!
All human structures are accountable to God and we need to call the city's human service departments to serve the people they were intended for. We must confront principalities and powers through prayer and action. The city longs for human institutions and an urban environment that is liberated to serve. "Creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God." (Romans 8:12) Since Christ has overcome Satan, we can confront and call these structures to their true purpose.

McLEAN, Va. — A Connecticut man is scheduled to enter a guilty plea in a 2001 rape case from northern Virginia that police linked to an attacker dubbed the East Coast Rapist.
Loudoun County Commonwealth's attorney Jim Plowman said Wednesday that Aaron Thomas of New Haven, Conn., is scheduled for a plea hearing Nov. 30 in Leesburg. He is charged there with the rape and forcible sodomy of a 41-year-old woman who was threatened by a man wielding a screwdriver.
Plowman declined to discuss exactly what charges Thomas is expected to plead to. He could spend up to life in prison on a rape conviction.
Thomas was arrested in Connecticut in March 2011 after a multi-state law enforcement effort to catch a man believed responsible for rapes and other attacks on 17 women since 1997 in Maryland, Virginia, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
The cases were linked by DNA and other evidence. After police received a tip leading them to Thomas, he was arrested after they picked a sample of his DNA from a discarded cigarette butt.
Thomas is currently being held in Prince William County, where he is also facing trial on charges of abducting three teenage trick-or-treaters on Halloween 2009 and raping two of them before being forced to flee. That attack was the last in the series of assaults that police linked to the East Coast Rapist.
Prince William County Commonwealth's Attorney Paul B. Ebert told The Washington Post Wednesday that Thomas has agreed to plead guilty to the two rape charges as well as three counts of abduction from the Halloween attack. No agreement is in place on a specific sentence.
Ebert told the Post that the pleas would spare victims from having to go through a trial.
After being brought to Virginia to face trial, Thomas' defense lawyers raised questions about his competency, saying in court papers that he has been mutilating himself and hallucinating. They say that when they have tried to meet with him, he hides under a blanket. Ebert said a mental health examiner concluded that Thomas was faking his symptoms.
Thomas' lawyer, Jennifer Zary, did not return a call seeking comment Wednesday.

UED6014, New November 1980
Missouri Courthouses
Contact and other information about this county is available on the National Association of Counties website, http://explorer.naco.org.
Editor's note
The PDF version of this publication includes illustrations. Select the "Download this publication" button.
Kinderhook, the name of President Martin Van Buren's residence, was the original name of Camden County. The legislation that changed the name to Camden in 1843 also directed commissioners to locate the county seat on the Osage River. The first location, Oregon, also underwent a name change to become Erie in 1843.
Orders made for a courthouse in 1841 never materialized, but in 1846 the first courthouse was built in Erie. S. R. Roberts superintended and William C. Young contracted for the two-story, 40-foot-square, brick building for $4,046. The courtroom was located on the first floor, county offices on the second. After removal of the county seat to Linn Creek, this courthouse sold at public auction for about $175.
Fire destroyed county records in 1902; fortunately, Goodspeed's History of Laclede, Camden, Dallas, Webster, Wright, Texas, Pulaski, Phelps, and Dent Counties of 1889 appears to have used the County Court records for resource material.
After the move to Linn Creek in 1855, temporary quarters sufficed until 1867, when the court appropriated $6,500 for a courthouse on the square. In June 1867 the contract was let to G. B. Shubert and James H. Waldron for $4,975. Thomas Selby superintended the work. The 32-by-40-foot, plain, two-story, brick building had a courtroom on the first floor and county offices on the second.
By 1902 county needs outgrew the courthouse. The courtroom had become too small, and the offices were inadequate. Fire severely damaged the building and destroyed the contents Jan. 28, 1902. Several quarters served as temporary locations for county functions and business until Aug. 10, 1905, when a committee petitioned the court to rebuild the courthouse, using the standing brick walls. The court agreed that if the town of Linn Creek would spend $1,500, then the court would supplement the amount, provided it did not exceed $1,000. Total costs came to several thousand dollars above this figure. The additional money was raised by popular subscription, but there is no record of the final accounting.
The court resumed use of the enlarged building in February 1906 (Figure 1). The building measured approximately 40 by 60 feet, two stories, with a large attic room used as a jury room. The courtroom was on the second floor, the county offices on the first floor.
Figure 1
Camden County Courthouse, 1906-1930. (From: Before the Dam Water, 1974)
In 1930 the Lake of the Ozarks, impounded by Bagnell Dam, inundated the site of Linn Creek. In November of that year the county formally voted for removal to a newly created town, Camdenton, which became the county seat. A temporary courthouse, which cost about $4,000, was built by W. J. Cochran and Sons of Boonville.
The permanent courthouse site was at the junction of two highways, occupying a triangular plot (Figure 2). Union Electric compensated Camden County $60,000 for loss of the old courthouse. Architect Victor J. DeFoe designed the new courthouse. B. O. Short, Pierce City, received the construction contract for about $50,000 in August 1931. Cornerstone ceremonies were conducted Nov. 3, 1931 (Figure 3).

The building was completed in July 1932. The yellow brick and tile building measures 76 by 76 by 32 feet and is trimmed with stone. A public assembly hall was planned for the half basement. County offices are on the first floor and the courtroom is on the second floor. It was the first Missouri courthouse built in a modern style.

The Evil Spawn gets my technology hand me downs.
This is good for both of us. She gets something new and I get something brand-new.
She is generally very appreciative but she would prefer the newest and latest Apple products.
She has my old iPad. She has a very early version of the iPod (squirrels run it).
Evidently, these are no longer cutting it.
She wants to upgrade.
Because she says she's the proud owner of iCrap.
Yes, she says old is iCrap.
She is the perfect age to be Apple's perfect customer.
She's grown up on Apple. She doesn't remember Dell, Commodore, or Mattel (classics my friends… classics).
She's a loyal customer.
Very loyal. She drinks the Apple Kool-Aide.
She doesn't question them. If they make it, she needs it.
They have the perfect business model. Apple doesn't make products to fill demand.
They create products to fill needs we didn't even know we had.
Who knew we couldn't live a productive civilized life without iPads, iPods, and Mini iThings?
They did. And now she does.
