Chores and Duties... History and Old Stuff... And What I Think About It...
Today I finished filling out a job application I've been dithering over for several days. I'll hand it in tomorrow and wait to see if anything happens. I am not holding my breath.
I had to complete the application by hand, which made me realize how much my penmanship has deteriorated. My writing muscles have grown lazy.
I have a debit card so I don't write many checks anymore. In a month's time, I might address half a dozen envelopes. I have stickers for the return address. Beyond the checks, the envelopes, and the occasional greeting card with a note inside, I just don't write much.
My written communication is done mostly through the keyboard, these days. Even though I'm a member of the generation before the computer kids, I've made the transition. I've crossed over from analog to digital, so to speak.
The handwriting instruction I received in school came from the days of player-pianos and the Gibson Girl. Palmer penmanship was out of vogue in most schools by the 1950's and '60's, but it was still taught at Duff Valley District 4. I was never able to do those long lines of loops and strokes evenly and smoothly.
So you see, I regret that my handwriting is not what it once was and also that it has never been as nice as I wanted it to be.
I think I am my own harshest critic, though. At one job I had, we were always terribly rushed. We scrawled notes to another department in the worst handwriting that you can imagine. One of the girls in that department complimented me one day. "You have such good handwriting," she said. I laughed strangely because she had shocked me so. "No, really," she said. "I can always read it."
My standards may be unrealistically high, thanks to the Palmer Penmanship books of my childhood. It's function over form with handwriting. Legibility is the most important goal. What good would it do to write beautifully if no one could read it?

When Los Angeles Angels right fielder Josh Hamilton pulled Freddy Garcia's 79 mph splitter onto the flag court beyond right field in the sixth inning Monday night, it was the 90th time an Orioles pitcher gave up a home run this season.
Hamilton's home run — which tied the game at 2-2, though the Orioles would eventually grab a 4-3 rain-delayed win — was the Angels' second of the game and further added to the Orioles' pitching staff's major league-worst total.
Entering Monday's game, they had given up five more than Houston, which owned the next-worst mark.
During last season's postseason run, the Orioles' pitching staff held off the long ball at a better pace. Through 64 games, the 37-27 Orioles allowed 72 home runs. They didn't allow their 90th home run until July 2 in a 6-3 loss at Seattle and they allowed 184 for the season, which was the eighth-most in the majors. With 98 games left, they're almost halfway there.
Despite the home runs, the Orioles sit just one game off last season's pace at 36-28. After all, they've hit 86 home runs of their own after Monday. They entered the game tied for first in the majors with the Atlanta Braves.
The Orioles have also been limiting the damage done by opposing bats because of when they give up home runs. Opponents have hit 57 of their 90 home runs against the Orioles without anyone on base. Angels left fielder Mike Trout and Hamilton both hit solo shots against Garcia, and eight of the 13 home runs he's allowed this year have been solo.
The Orioles have allowed 25 two-run home runs this year, six three-run homers and two grand slams.
Garcia's 13 home runs are the second-most on the staff behind right-hander Chris Tillman's 16. Right-hander Jason Hammel has given up the third-most with 12.
Garcia has given up at least one home run in seven of his eight starts this season. His last time out at Houston on June 5, he allowed four home runs in an 11-7 loss. The lone start he didn't allow a long ball was May 30 against Washington when he pitched eight shutout innings and allowed just three hits.
Entering Monday's matchup with the Angels, Tillman had given up the most in the majors, and Garcia's performance would vault him up to eighth-most.
The Orioles have allowed 301 runs through 64 games. Last season, they had allowed 284 runs through 64 games.

Shrek the Third (2007)
Prince Charming: You! You can't lie! So tell me puppet... where... is... Shrek?
Pinocchio: Uh. Hmm, well, uh, I don't know where he's not
Prince Charming: You're telling me you don't know where Shrek is?
Pinocchio: It wouldn't be inaccurate to assume that I couldn't exactly not say that it is or isn't almost partially incorrect.
Prince Charming: So you do know where he is!
Pinocchio: On the contrary. I'm possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea that in no way with any amount of uncertainty that I undeniably
Prince Charming: Stop it!
Pinocchio: ...do or do not know where he shouldn't probably be, if that indeed wasn't where he isn't. Even if he wasn't at where I knew he was
[Pigs and Gingerbread Man begin singing]
Pinocchio: That'd mean I'd really have to know where he wasn't.
Snow White: Right! Ladies, assume the position!
[Sleeping Beauty falls asleep, Snow White lies down in her coffin pose, and Cinderella seats herself on the floor gazing dreamily into space]
Princess Fiona: What are you doing?
Sleeping Beauty: [Snaps awake] Waiting to be rescued.
[falls back asleep]
Shrek: I can't believe I'm going to be a father. How did this happened?
Puss in Boots: Allow me to explain. When a man falls in love with a woman, he is overcome with powerful urges...
Shrek: I know how it happened! I just can't believe it.
Donkey: [to Puss] How does it happen?
Snow White: Rapunzel, Rapunzel. Let down your golden extension.

Wolf: I voted for Team Alpha Wolf Squadron.
Donkey: Alright, alright, alright. From henceforth, we're all to be known as Team Alpha Super Awesome Cool Dynamite Wolf Squadron.
Cinderella: [after hearing the Puss and Donkey speak after changing bodies] I don't get it.
Snow White: The cat turned into a little horse that smells like feet. What's to get?
Puss in Boots: [after switching bodies with Donkey] Ye haw.
Donkey: Oh, you'll learn to control that!
Donkey: [Reading Sign] Wer-sestor-shiray? Sounds fancy!
Shrek: No, it's Worcestershire.
Donkey: Like the Sauce? Spicy!
Shrek: Listen, Artie. Eh, if you think this whole mad scene ain't dope, I feel you, dude. I mean, I'm not trying to get up in your grill or raise your roof or whatever, but what I am screamin' is, yo, check out this kazing thazing, bazaby! I mean if it doesn't groove or what I'm sayin' ain't straight trippin' just say, "Oh, no you di'n't! You know, you're gettin' on my last nerve." And then I'll know it's... then I'll - I'll know it's wack!
[Shrek gets hit in the face with a branch that Artie had evidently pulled back]
Artie: Somebody help! I've been kidnapped by a monster who's trying to relate to me!
[knocks on the door of a tree incessantly]
Artie: Knock, knock. Hello! Hello!
[a holograph of Merlin emits from a crystal a few feet adjacent to the door]
Merlin: Greetings, cosmic children of the universe. Welcome to my serenity circle. Please leave all bad vibes outside the healing vortex. Now prepare-
[the holograph cuts off. Merlin comes out the front door and says]
Merlin: I knew I should have got that warranty.
Puss in Boots: How can you be a reciever of the wedgies, when you are clearly not a wearer of the underpants?
Donkey: Let's just say some things are better left unsaid.
Snow White: I'm sorry but this isn't working for me.
Sleeping Beauty: It's not like your attitude is helping, Snow.
Snow White: You're just jealous that I was voted fairest in the land.
Rapunzel: Oh, you mean in that rigged election?
Snow White: You're one to talk. "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down thy golden extensions."
Sleeping Beauty: Who dat?
Cheerleader: Ahem. This is like totally embarrassing, but my friend Tiffany thinkest thou vex her so soothly and she thought perchance thou would want to ask her to the homecoming dance or something.
Shrek: Excuse me?
Cheerleader: It's like whatever. She's just totally into college guys and mythical creatures and stuff.
Donkey: What in the shestershire is this place?
Shrek: Well, my stomach's aching and my palms just got sweaty. Must be a high school.
Puss in Boots: [after Shrek throws Donkey out the door] Some people just don't understand boundaries.
[Shrek then throws Puss out. Puss does his cat screech, then the eyes]
Donkey: [Hook's men wheel his piano in during the fight] Look out! They got a piano!
Shrek: Excuse me; can you ladies tell me where to find...
Cheerleader: Ugh, totally ew-eth.
Cheerleader: Totally.
Queen Lillian: [smashes wall with her head]
Princess Fiona: Mom?
Queen Lillian: What? You didn't think you inherited your fighting skills from your father?
Captain Hook: [looming over a young boy threateningly with his hook] Well, well, Peter Pan!
Boy's Mother: His name's not Peter!
Captain Hook: Shut it, Wendy.
Princess Fiona: [after learning that Rapunzel is dating Prince Charming] Rapunzel! How could you?
Rapunzel: Jealous, much?
Shrek: Good morning.
Princess Fiona: Good morning. Ooh, morning breath.
Shrek: Yeah. Isn't it wonderful?
Puss in Boots: If he were real, could I do this?
[Digs claws into Shrek's leg, Shrek tries to hold in his pain]
Shrek: Ah! Oww!
Donkey: Or this?
[Kicks Shrek's other leg, Shrek moans]
Shrek: If it were real, that would have been agonizingly painful.
Donkey: Now watch this!
Shrek: [Restrains Donkey and Puss] That's quite enough, boys!
Donkey: [Donkey and Puss in Boots have switched bodies] I've been abra-cadabra'd into a Fancy Feasting second-rate sidekick!
Puss in Boots: At least you don't look like a bloated roadside piñata. You really need to go on a diet.
Donkey: And you really need to get yourself a pair of pants! I feel all exposed and nasty!
Donkey: [seeing Shrek naked in the bed] Aahh! You know, you really need to get yourself a pair of jammies!
Ship Captain: [in a menacing growl] You're finished.
[Shrek, Puss in Boots, and Donkey turn and stare]
Ship Captain: [apologetically] Heh... with your journey.
[points to land]
Gingy: [At Fiona's baby shower, giving her a baby carrier] The baby's gonna love it because I do!
Puss in Boots: [talking to a female kitten] It's out of my hands, senorita. The winds of fate have blown on my destiny. But I will never forget you. You are the love of my life.
Female kitty cat: Meeaow.
Puss in Boots: [to several kitty cats] As are you... And, uh, you... And, oops, you... And I... err... I don't know you but I'd like to.
A bunch of female kitty cats: Meeaow.
Puss in Boots: I gotta go!
Puss in Boots: The Frog King is dead.
Artie: [convincing Merlin to help them get back to Far Far Away]
[weeping like a troubled teen]
Artie: It's just so hard, you know? They really need to get back, 'cause their kingdom's in trouble, 'cause there's a really bad man... and it's just so hard!
Merlin: Come on, take it easy!
Artie: No! I don't think you understand!
[collapses at Merlin's feet]
Artie: There's a mean person doing mean things to good people
Shrek: Oh, have a heart, old man
Artie: And they really need your help to get them back! So why won't you help them?
[collapses and sobs inaudibly]
Merlin: [awkwardly] Oh, ok... Um, I'll go and get my things
Artie: [stands up and clears his throat]
[to Shrek]
Artie: Piece of cake.
Merlin: [meditating] I'm a buzzing bee... buzz, buzz, buzz...
Artie: Mr. Merlin? They...
[gestures to Shrek and crew, but stops short]
Artie: ... *we* really need your help. Do you think you can use your magic to transport us to...
Merlin: [interrupting] Sorry, kid, I don't do that stuff anymore. How about a hug? That's the best kind of magic there is!
Sleeping Beauty: Everything always about you, it's not like your additude is helping Snow.
Snow White: Well maybe it just bothers you that I was voted fairest in the land.
Shrek: Break a leg. On second thought, let me break it for you.
Puss in Boots: [Puss says to Shrek as the ship leaves] Well my friend, you are royally...
[loud horn blast]
Donkey: [Having just fallen from the sky] I haven't had a trip that bad since college!
Nanny Dwarf: Where's the baby?
Artie: Please don't eat me.
Crowd: Eat him! Eat him!...
Shrek: I'm not going to eat him.
Crowd: [Disappointed] Aww!
Artie: You know, Shrek, you're all right. You just need to do a little less yelling, and use more soap.
Shrek: Thanks, Artie.
Artie: The soap is because you stink. Really bad.
Shrek: Yeah, I got that.
Puss in Boots: I don't know you, but I'd like to.

Shrek: [to Charming] Those are some nice leotards, though
Prince Charming: Oh, thank you.
Shrek: Do they have those in men's sizes?
[audience laughs]
Girl: I'd rather get the black plague and lock myself in an iron maiden than go out with him.
Shrek: [after the royal page comes into the bedroom just as he was about to kiss Fiona] Someone had better be dying.
[cuts to everyone in the King's bedroom]
King Harold: I'm dying...
Artie: And so, people, I hope you enjoy your stay in prison, while I rule the free world, baby!
Shrek: All right, don't overdo it.
Artie: I'm building my city, people, on rock 'n' roll!
Shrek: You just overdid it.
Artie: Did you say you were looking for Arthur?
Puss in Boots: That information is on a need to know basis.
Donkey: It's top secret. Hushity-hush.
Shrek: Fiona, try to be reasonable. Have you seen a baby lately? All they do is eat and poop, and then they cry, and they cry when they poop, and poop when they cry. Now imagine an *ogre* baby. They extra cry, and they extra poop.
Shrek: And if he gives me any trouble, I can always use reason and persuasion.
[Lifts up left fist]
Shrek: Here's reason...
[Lifts up right fist]
Shrek: ... and here's persuasion.
Donkey: [to Shrek and Fiona] Good Morning, good morning... To you, and you and youuuuu.

[Shrek looks into the smoke, sees a baby carriage; tries to blow it away]
Shrek: Uh... I see a rainbow pony.
Shrek: [to Artie shortly after they crash the boat] We're headed back to Far Far Away whether you like it or not! And you're gonna be a father!
Artie: [Sounding confused] What?
Donkey: [to Shrek] You just said father!
Shrek: [to Artie] I said... king, you're gonna be king!
Artie: [Imitating Shrek] You're gonna be king!
[Reverts back to his normal voice]
Artie: Yeah, right!
Shrek: That's right, I'm the new mascot. So let's really try and beat the other guys at whatever it is they are doing!
[student stumbles out of trailer]
Student: Dude, don't burn all my Frankincense and Myrrh.
Merlin: Can I interest anyone in a snack or beverage?
[first lines]
Prince Charming: Onward, Chauncey! To the highest room of the tallest tower, where my princess awaits rescue by the handsome Prince Charming!

Gingerbread Man: Ew! This is worse than Love Letters. I hate dinner theater.
Pinocchio: Me too.
[his nose grows]
Mabel: What do you want, Charming?
Prince Charming: Oh, not much. Just a chance at redemption... and a fuzzy navel.
Shrek: If Artie trusts him, I trust him, even *if* his cloak doesn't completely cover his...
Merlin: Greetings, cosmic children of the universe. Welcome to my serenity circle. Please leave all bad vibes outside the healing vortex.
Lancelot: King? More like mayor of Loserville.
Prince Charming: I am the rightful King of Far Far Away!
Cinderella: [whispering to Fiona about her present] It's for the poopies!
Sleeping Beauty: Ew! Wait, babies poop?
Rapunzel: Everybody poops, Beauty!
Sleeping Beauty: Oh!
Prince Charming: This was supposed to be *my* Happily Ever After!
Shrek: Well, I guess you need to keep looking, because I'm not giving up mine.
Doris: [while distracting the enemy guards] Hey! How's it going?
Puss in Boots: We've got to save her!
Donkey: But she's so far, far away!

San Francisco Campus Honors Professor Emeritus Dr. Paul Werner
On May 3, 2013, over 125 people joined CSPP's Dean Morgan Sammons in honoring CSPP Professor Emeritus Dr. Paul Werner, who retired after more than 30 years of service to CSPP. The ceremony and reception were held in the beautiful new wing of the San Francisco campus. Among those in attendance were Dr. Werner's wife and niece, CSPP alumni many of whom were Dr. Werner's students, current CSPP students (including many of our 2012-2013 scholarship recipients who were also honored by Dean Sammons), and current and former CSPP faculty and staff.
During the course of the ceremony, Dr. Werner's numerous contributions were acknowledged by Alliant President Dr. Geoffrey Cox, CSPP's Dean Dr. Morgan Sammons, Associate Dean (and longtime colleague) Dr. Dalia Ducker.
Dr. Loewy mentioned the following as part of his remarks: "When I was in graduate school, learning to be a therapist, my professors and supervisors taught me to 'trust the process.' Dr. Werner gives that phrase a whole new meaning for me. Many of the processes that we use at Alliant are based on Dr. Werner's wisdom and hard work to document a process that works: from SERC to union contracts and so many others.
I learned from Dr. Werner that when dealing with important matters one needs a process and one must stick to the process. I learned to slow down and trust that if we adhere to the correct process, the correct outcome is most likely. What is true in therapy is also true in teaching and in administration."
As another way to honor Dr. Werner's legacy at CSPP, during the ceremony it was announced that we have created The Paul Werner Dissertation Award for Innovation and Creativity, which recognizes the clinical PhD dissertation that best exemplifies the emphasis on innovative and creative research that Dr. Werner fostered in his work with dissertation students. During the San Francisco Commencement Ceremony (approximately a month after the May 3 event), we learned that Robert Mejia is the first recipient of this Award, and he received both a certificate and a monetary award.
Dr. Werner was presented with a Memory Book containing the memories of many of his former students and colleagues. And with a wink to Dr. Werner's specialty in statistics, Clinical PhD faculty member Dr. Shannon Casey made Paul a special cake.
We also unveiled our "Upon the Shoulders of Giants" wall honoring twelve of CSPP's most beloved San Francisco Bay Area faculty, some of whom were able to personally attend the ceremony. This was the fulfillment of one of Dr. Werner's visions for CSPP.
"For many reasons I will treasure the memory of the retirement reception. In planning for the reception I hoped that it could be a reunion of sorts. I wanted to make sure that invitations went out to colleagues and staff members from the past and also to graduates from the span of my career with CSPP.
I was thrilled and honored by the turnout of former faculty colleagues, some of whom traveled long distances or with difficulty to make it to campus. I especially enjoyed our all catching up, even within the tumult of the reception. I appreciated the presence of former staff, whose work was the foundation of so much of what has worked well on campus. I was also so happy and honored that many past graduates came in for the celebration. I appreciated the opportunity to be reminded of my contribution to their success in our program and beyond. It also was wonderful that current students with whom I am working as well as newer scholarship students were in attendance, bringing the CSPP life cycle full circle.
Dalia Ducker's comments and reminiscences about my years with CSPP were very moving. A special highlight of the day was the unveiling of the wall of photos of faculty members of the past… Although I've now moved out of my office and will be on campus less often, my commitment to the mission and goals of CSPP and of the university will remain undiminished."
Thank you Paul for all you have given to CSPP over the past 30+ years.

Floral Prima Peplum Top
Added Jul 15, 2013
Peterborough, Un...
This top was adapted from a Prima magazine peplum dress pattern where I ommited the skirt. As I'm not the brain of britain I forgot that an 11 inch zip will not get the top over my head. The solution I came up with was to use an openended zipper? A hoody zipper basically, as thats the only way I could think of to get it on and off. As prima patterns' smallest size is a 10 I always have to make a mock up to figure out how to get it down to a 6. (English sizing this is) The neck line could do with being lower, but I'm not entirely sure how to acomplish that with a facing to deal with as well. All in all, it's an ideal top for sixth form, and I expect to wear it a lot next year.
Material Notes
Floral cotton and pillowcase for underlining.

Novell's controversial pact with Microsoft reflects the desire of the number two Linux seller to position itself as a mixed-source company. Speaking to ZDNet Asia last week, Maarten Koster, the newly-appointed president of Novell Asia-Pacific, noted that the company positions itself in the market differently from its rivals. "You've got Red Hat as a pure open source company, and you've got Microsoft as a [commercial] license-based company," Koster said. "The reality is, most Novell customers run a mixed-source IT environment."

Jay Silverheels (right) as Tonto with Clayton Moore as the Lone Ranger in the TV adaptation
|Publication information
|First appearance
|WXYZ radio; Detroit, Michigan, USA; February 25, 1933
|Created by
|George W. Trendle
|In-story information
|Place of origin
|Earth (nation: Comanche)
|The Lone Ranger[1]
Expert marksman and horseman
Trained hand-to-hand combatant
Tonto is a fictional character, the either Potawatomi or Comanche companion of the Lone Ranger, a popular American Western character created by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker. Tonto has appeared in radio and television series and other presentations of the characters' adventures righting wrongs in 19th century western America.[2]
In Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, "tonto" translates as "a dumb person", "moron" or "fool". In the Spanish dubbed version, the character is called "Toro" (Spanish for "bull") or "Ponto". In the Italian version the original name is retained.
Tonto made his first appearance on the 11th episode of the radio show, which originated on the Detroit, Michigan, radio station WXYZ. Though he became well known as the Lone Ranger's friend, Tonto was originally created just so the Lone Ranger would have someone with whom to talk.[1] Throughout the radio run (which spanned 21 years), with only a few exceptions, Tonto was played by American actor John Todd.[3]
The character was portrayed on television (arguably the most well-remembered version today) by Jay Silverheels. This was the highest-rated television program on the ABC network in the early 1950s and its first true "hit".[4]
In The Tarzan/Lone Ranger Adventure Hour, he was voiced by Ivan Naranjo, a Blackfoot/Southern Ute actor from Colorado.
Michael Horse portrayed Tonto in the 1981 film The Legend of the Lone Ranger. The most recent portrayal was by Johnny Depp in the 2013 Disney film The Lone Ranger.
Tonto made his first appearance on the 11th episode of the radio show The Lone Ranger.[1] Two conflicting origin stories have been given for the character Tonto and how he came to work with the Lone Ranger. As originally presented, in the December 7, 1938, radio broadcast,[citation needed] Reid had already been well established as the Lone Ranger when he met Tonto. In that episode Cactus Pete, a friend of the Lone Ranger, tells the story of how the masked man and Tonto first met. According to that tale, Tonto had been caught in the explosion when two men dynamited a gold mine they were working. One of the men wanted to kill the wounded Tonto, but the Lone Ranger arrived on the scene and made him administer first aid. The miner subsequently decided to keep Tonto around, intending to make him the fall guy when he would later murder his partner. The Lone Ranger foiled both the attempted murder and the framing. No reason was given in the episode as to why Tonto chose to travel with the Lone Ranger, rather than continue about his business.
A different version was given in later episodes of the radio drama and at the beginning of the Lone Ranger television series. Tonto rescues the sole surviving Texas Ranger of a party that was tricked into an ambush by the outlaw Butch Cavendish. Tonto recognizes the ranger as someone who had saved him when they were both boys. He refers to him by the title "ke-mo sah-bee", explaining that the phrase means "faithful friend" (radio series) or "trusty scout" (television series) in the language of his tribe. In the 2013 film, Tonto translates the word as meaning "wrong brother". Tonto buries the dead rangers, and the Lone Ranger instructs him to make a sixth empty grave to leave the impression that he, too, is dead.[1]
The radio series identified Tonto as a chief's son in the Potawatomi nation. The Potawatomi originated in the Great Lakes region but in the 19th century, most had been relocated to the Southwestern states. Their regalia is different from that worn by Tonto.[clarification needed] The choice to make Tonto a Potawatomi seems to come from station owner George Trendle's youth in Mullett Lake, Michigan. Located in the northern part of the Midwest, Michigan is the traditional territory of the Potawatomi, and many local institutions use Potawatomi names. Other sources [5] indicate that Camp Kee Mo Sah Bee belonged to the father-in-law of the show's director, James Jewell. According to author David Rothel, who interviewed Jewell a few months before his death,[5] Kee Mo Sah Bee and Tonto were the only two words that Jewell remembered from those days. Tonto's name may have been inspired by the name of Tonto Basin, Arizona. In the Fran Striker books, Tonto is described as a "half-breed".
In the 2013 theatrical feature film of The Lone Ranger, Tonto was depicted as a Comanche tribesman.
Tonto's horse[edit]
Tonto first rode a horse named "White Feller" (White Fella/Fellah). When the 1938 Republic movie serial The Lone Ranger was being filmed, it was thought that having two white horses would be confusing, so the producers made "White Feller" a pinto horse, presumably on the theory that, being partly white, a pinto could still be named "White Feller". The radio series, noting that the pinto in the film had gone over well with audiences, decided that Tonto's mount would henceforth be a pinto. For several episodes, Tonto's new horse went unnamed, referred to only as "the paint horse" or simply "Paint". Eventually the name "Scout" was adopted.[6]
The portrayal of Tonto has been seen by some Native Americans and others as degrading, notably by Native American author and poet Sherman Alexie.[7] Tonto spoke in a pidgin, saying things like, "That right, Kemo Sabe", or "Him say man ride over ridge on horse".
In 1975, poet and science fiction writer Paul O. Williams coined the term "tontoism" to refer to the practice of writing haiku with missing articles ("the", "a", or "an"), which he claimed made such haiku sound like Tonto's stunted English.
Later adaptations of the character such as The Legend of the Lone Ranger and the Filmation animated series depict him as being articulate in English and speaking it carefully.
Silverheels was not above making a little fun of the character, as in a classic sketch on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson with Carson playing a career counselor and Silverheels playing Tonto looking for a new job after working "thirty lousy years" as the Lone Ranger's faithful sidekick. When asked why he was looking for a new job, Tonto replies, "Him finally find out what Kemo Sabe means!"[8][9]
Other media[edit]
Tonto has appeared in various media based on The Lone Ranger. He starred in his own comic book, The Lone Ranger's Companion Tonto, 31 issues of which were published by Dell Comics during the 1950s.
Later depictions beginning in the 1980s have taken efforts to show Tonto as an articulate and proud warrior whom the Ranger treats as an equal partner. In the Topps Comics four-issue miniseries, The Lone Ranger and Tonto, Tonto is even shown to be a very witty, outspoken and sarcastic character willing to punch the Lone Ranger during a heated argument and commenting on his past pop-culture depictions with the words, "Of course, Kemosabe. Maybe when we talked I should use that 'me Tonto' stuff, way they write about me in the dime novels. You'd like that, wouldn't you?"[10]
In 2017, Wyatt Logan said the Native American deputy U.S. marshal Grant Johnson was inspiration for Tonto in the Timeless episode "Murder of Jesse James".

Copyright Maximalists Come Out Against New TLDs Because It Creates 'More Space' For Infringement
from the the-internet-is-like-a-box,-see... dept
However, one complaint that simply hasn't made much sense are complaints from copyright holders over generic TLDs. We've seen the RIAA complain that it might lead to more infringement, which appeared to be based on a misunderstanding of how the internet works (shocking) rather than on any legitimate complaint. Of course, Copycense points us to the news that "The Copyright Alliance" (a sort of propaganda/lobbying organization for extreme copyright maximalists) has now come out against generic TLDs as well for the delightfully ridiculous reason that it means "more Internet space would be available to rogue website operators."
Apparently, the internet isn't a series of "tubes," but it's a box with limited space, and this will expand it. Or something.

Bibliometrics is a set of methods to quantitatively analyze academic literature. Citation analysis and content analysis are commonly used bibliometric methods. While bibliometric methods are most often used in the field of library and information science, bibliometrics have wide applications in other areas. Many research fields use bibliometric methods to explore the impact of their field, the impact of a set of researchers, or the impact of a particular paper. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Bibliometrics)
|big data
In information technology, big data consists of datasets that grow so large that they become awkward to work with using on-hand database management tools. Difficulties include capture, storage, search, sharing, analytics, and visualizing. This trend continues because of the benefits of working with larger and larger datasets allowing analysts to "spot business trends, prevent diseases, combat crime." Though a moving target, current limits are on the order of terabytes, exabytes and zettabytes of data. Scientists regularly encounter this problem in meteorology, genomics, connectomics, complex physics simulations, biological and environmental research, Internet search, finance and business informatics. Data sets also grow in size because they are increasingly being gathered by ubiquitous information-sensing mobile devices, aerial sensory technologies (remote sensing), software logs, cameras, microphones, Radio-frequency identification readers, wireless sensor networks and so on." Every day, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created and 90% of the data in the world today was created within the past two years. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Big data)
Biometrics consists of methods for uniquely recognizing humans based upon one or more intrinsic physical or behavioral traits. In computer science, in particular, biometrics is used as a form of identity access management and access control. It is also used to identify individuals in groups that are under surveillance.

BSON is a computer data interchange format. It is a binary form for representing simple data structures and associative arrays (called objects or documents). The name "BSON" is based on the term JSON and stands for "Binary JSON". Compared to JSON, BSON is designed to be efficient both in storage space and scan-speed. Large elements in a BSON document are prefixed with a length field to facilitate scanning. In some cases, BSON will use more space than JSON due to the length prefixes and explicit array indices.

A blog (a blend of the term web log) is a type of website or part of a website. Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Blog)
The BMP File Format, also known as Bitmap Image File or Device Independent Bitmap (DIB) file format or simply a Bitmap, is a Raster graphics image file format used to store bitmap digital images, independently of the display device (such as a graphics adapter), especially on Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: BMP)
|born digital
The term born-digital refers to materials that originate in a digital form. This is in contrast to digital reformatting, through which analog materials become digital. It is most often used in relation to digital libraries and the issues that go along with said organizations, such as digital preservation and intellectual property. However, as technologies have advanced and spread, the concept of being born-digital has also been discussed in relation to personal consumer-based sectors, with the rise of e-books and evolving digital music. Other terms that might be encountered as synonymous include "natively digital," "digital-first," and "digital-exclusive. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Born digital)

A new ranking names New York the 15th healthiest state. It's hard to say how the Mohawk Valley stacks up, though.
A new ranking names New York the 15th healthiest state. It's hard to say how the Mohawk Valley stacks up, though.
The report, released last week by United Health Foundation, looked at healthy behaviors, indicators of health status and community indicators, such as high school graduation rates and the percentage of children living in poverty.
Hawaii ranked as the healthiest state and Mississippi placed 50th.
New York's strengths, according to the report include:
Its low smoking rate — fifth lowest in the nation. The number of primary care doctors and dentists, ranked fifth and fourth.Per-capita health spending of $129 a person on average, the fifth highest.The third lowest obesity rate.In a county health ranking released earlier this year, Oneida County placed 50th in the state and Herkimer County 39th. That ranking was put out by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.
"Although it's gratifying to learn that New York state ranks 15th in the country in terms of health indicators, the focus of the Oneida County Health Department is to improve our ranking within the state," said Phyllis D. Ellis,
director of health for Oneida County. "Oneida County has improved somewhat since the last county-by-county ranking, but there remains much room for improvement."
Two of the state's strengths – obesity and smoking rates – remain above state averages in Oneida County, Ellis noted, promising to work with other community groups to bring down those numbers.
"In our region, our incidence of cigarette smoking is about 40 percent greater than the New York state average," said Dr. Francis Chabot, a family doctor with St. Elizabeth Medical Group in Waterville.
Access to primary care doctors is another issue cited as a state ranking that isn't so great in the Mohawk Valley. Rome Memorial Hospital and Little Falls Hospital just received state grants to provide services to make up for local shortages of primary care physicians.
The Mohawk Valley has fewer doctors, compared to its population, than other parts of the state and not nearly as many as downstate.
"Depending on the level you look, New York looks great," said Jean Moore, executive director of the Center for Health Workforce Studies at the University at Albany. "But then it fails to acknowledge the maldistribution. So, in the case of primary care physicians, while it looks like we seem to be in pretty good shape, I would argue that there are some groups that don't have access."
Even in New York City, the Upper East Side probably has "more doctors per square inch than anywhere in the world," but residents of neighboring Harlem still might have trouble getting a doctor appointment, she said.
The Mohawk Valley does, like the state as a whole, seem to have plenty of dentists. But there still are terrible access issues, because too many people can't afford dentistry and too few dentists accept Medicaid, Moore said.
When it comes to New York's "challenges," the report cited the state's rate of chlamydia (41st), children living in poverty (40th) and immunizations for children (43rd).

The Olympics presenter will put the intellectual elite through their paces as she challenges 24 brainboxes to see who is the biggest egghead.
The show will take into account academic and emotional intelligence, and will be the first of its kind to do so. Contestants will also tackle puzzles and challenges live on the programme.
Hosting natural Clare has also stepped in to present comedy panel show Have I Got News For You, and will be taking over Aled Jones' Radio 2 slot presenting a Sunday morning faith show.
Clare said: "I have always said that 'facts are my friend', but knowing things doesn't make you clever.
"I am fascinated by the brain - how it works and how it can be improved. I am so excited to be given the opportunity to explore and test intelligence in a format that will be fun, informative and entertaining. The quest to find Britain's Brightest will inspire all of us."

ProPack Buys EPA Midwest; Adds B.E.S.T. Line
December 23, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on ProPack Buys EPA Midwest; Adds B.E.S.T. Line
ProPack Packaging Inc., maker of Kronen premium holding tank treatments for RV and marine applications, purchased the assets of EPA Midwest, including the popular B.E.S.T. line of RV cleaners and protectants.
According to press release, B.E.S.T., which stands for Better Environmental Solutions Technology, has been owned by EPA Midwest since they acquired the brand from its founder several years ago. "ProPack was a logical fit for B.E.S.T. products for several reasons," noted Brady Locke, EPA president. "Notably, they have a tremendous filling operation with available capacity, they have a history in the RV industry with their Kronen brand, and B.E.S.T. products are a perfect complement to their current offerings."
"Having just completed an acquisition two months ago, the timing was not ideal," said Michael Meuser, president of ProPack. "But it was important that we got this done before the end of the year so that B.E.S.T. customers can be assured that their winter orders will be shipped on time for the 2014 season. The response from the distributors during our due diligence was that B.E.S.T. was their No. 2 seller, was loved by dealers, and would likely be No. 1 if manufactured to demand. We're going to make that happen."
He added, "Nicole and Brady have been great stewards of the brand and we're excited they chose us to carry the B.E.S.T. product line forward in the future."
Supplier ProPack Acquires Hohn Manufacturing
October 9, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Supplier ProPack Acquires Hohn Manufacturing
St. Louis-based ProPack Packaging Inc., contract manufacturer and maker of Kronen Premium Holding Tank Treatments for RV and marine applications, announced the acquisition of Hohn Manufacturing.
According to a press release, Hohn Manufacturing is a privately held liquid and powder blending and packaging company in Fenton, Mo., a suburb of St. Louis.
"Due to organic growth, we had been looking for a larger facility for ProPack when I struck up a conversation with good friend Larry Harrington, who ran Hohn for 46 years, about his future plans for the business," said ProPack President Michael Meuser. "Their knowledge of dry goods compliments our experience in liquid packaging nicely, so it was a great fit."
Meuser noted that Hohn Manufacturing has enjoyed a reputation for quality blending and packaging of water treatment and other industrial chemical products in the Midwest for over 60 years.

WASHINGTON, July 29 (UPI) -- The advice normally offered by overprotective, sunscreen-wielding mothers got a boost from the U.S. Surgeon General today, as the country's lead health officials implored Americans to better protect their skin.
Boris D. Lushniak, who was appointed Surgeon General in July of 2013, recently spoke at a Washington Post forum about the growing risks of skin cancer. The talk preceded today's official "Call to Action," released by Lushniak's office.
Incidents of melanoma are rising -- tripling over the last 30 years -- while other types of cancers are falling. But even though Lushniak's call to action posited skin cancer as "a major public health problem that requires immediate action," he told Post reporters that doctors and health experts still aren't sure what's causing the increase.
"From the epidemiological surveillance perspective, we see the numbers increasing," Dr. Lushniak said. "But in terms of looking at specific [causes] of that, it's still difficult to determine."
In response to rising concerns, the surgeon general and other health experts are offering the same basic advice, only with greater urgency: stop going to tanning salons, put on a hat and wear more sunscreen.
"As a skin oncologist who worked in this field for many years, I have cared for both the young and old with skin cancers," explained Dr. Howard K. Koh, Assistant Secretary for Health. "Almost all of these cancers were caused by unnecessary ultraviolet radiation exposure, usually from excessive time in the sun or from the use of indoor tanning devices."
The so-called Call To Action also called on "business, health care, education, government and nonprofit sectors, as well as families and individuals, to do more." Dr. Lushniak encouraged health care providers and educators to do more to discouraging indoor tanning.

After taking into consideration every one of these standardsNew Era Debt SolutionsNational Debt Reliefand CuraDebt increased to the top of my checklist. Yet prior to you sign on the dotted line with these or other debt-settlement businessread on to ensure you know as much as possible concerning debt settlement. I'll cover the debt settlement processhow it varies from various other debt relief processdangerschoicesand also how you can avoid scams.
What Is Debt Settlement?
A debt settlement business negotiates with creditors on your behalf. When you sign upyou'll likely begin adding to an unique account established by your debt settlement business. Once it reaches a certain levelthe firm will certainly connect to your creditors in hopes that they'll accept a round figure that's much less than exactly what you in fact owe. Afterwards sum is paidyou're not indebted to the lender. For how long it takes mostly depends on just how swiftly you can save enough to begin settlementsbut the majority of specialists allow two to four years for the process.
Keep in mind that debt settlement is various compared to debt consolidation as well as debt agreement. Debt consolidation does not decrease your loan principalsbut it allows you to pay one expense to one firm with a much lower interest rate. In debt settlementa company negotiates with your creditors to lower your rate of interest and monthly billshowever your loan principals commonly stay the exact same.
Who might think about debt settlement?
Initiallyyou have to have the right kind of debt. Debt settlement is generally simply a viable alternative for unsecured debt. That's debt from bank cardmedical billsor other financial obligations that do not include collateral. Your mortgage as well as auto loan are examples of secured financial obligationsor those that do include collateral. When you don't pay safe debts like theseyour lender can take your home or auto that can help settle your debt. Keep in mind that pupil lending debtthough unsecuredis often disqualified for debt settlement other than in uncommon instances.
Secondyou need to be dealing with legitimate financial challenge. Typical factors for financial hardship include unemploymentdeath of a partneras well as severe overspending. Though there are numerous points that could avoid you from paying your financial obligationsthe bottom line is that getting debt settlement means you have nearly no possibility of being able to repay your financial obligations by yourself. You're not likely to be accepted into a debt settlement routine if this isn't the situation.
Just what are the disadvantages of debt settlement?
If debt settlement were as simple as employing a company to let you off the hook for a few of your debtmuch more individuals would make the most of the process. But while the upside is obvious (repaying a lot less of the debts you owe)there are numerous really genuine disadvantages to think about:
Big costs: Debt settlement isn't really complimentary. Though most business are no more permitted to demand ahead of time costs (as well as you need to not do business with any type of firm that does)they still make their cash by taking a substantial percentage of the debt you enrolled after they settle.
Short-term risks: You will certainly need to save sufficient cash to also begin the settlement processyet your debts do not disappear during that time. That's bad news for your credit record as financial obligations go past due. You could likewise rack up a lot more late-payment costs and also interest-rate walks as you conserve and also resolve the settlement proceduredepending upon your debt. You likewise risk being sued by your creditors.
Lasting risks: After the settlementas opposed to stating "paid in full your credit report may just claim your debt was cleared up." This could understandably terrify future creditorsthat now recognize you ultimately paid much less than what you owed. In turnthat could make it hard for you to obtain loan providers to offer you a second possibility.
Tax obligation: If your financial institution consents to accept a quantity that's more than $600 a lot less than your initial debtthe quantity that's eliminated will certainly be reported to the IRS. Your eliminated debt will certainly be taken into consideration revenueand you might need to pay tax obligations on it unless you have the ability to confirm bankruptcy.
Alternatives to Debt Settlement.
If the dangers of debt settlement seem too challengingthere are alternatives that can assist you get out of debt. Certainlyall these approaches have their own advantages and disadvantagesand also simply you could decide whether they are a lot better or worse for your special circumstance.
Do it yourself.
Some creditors won't even negotiate with debt settlement business. Of the creditors which will certainly bargain with themsome might choose not to reduce your debt by a better percent than just what they would offer you straight. Because of thatmany experts state it's wise to attempt bargaining directly with your creditors prior to turning to debt settlement specialists. If the idea of DIY debt settlement is appealing however you still desire professional advicetake a look at ZipDebtassessed over.
Credit therapy.
Therapists working with behalf of respectable not-for-profit credit-counseling agencies could assist you create a plan to far better manage your cash and budget for debt repayments. Obviouslythis approach doesn't really decrease your debthowever it likewise has much less threats than settlement or consolidation as well as settlementreviewed below.
Debt consolidation with Debt Consolidation Companies.
As I stated previouslydebt consolidation doesn't reduce your loan principalshowever it allows you to pay one expense to one lender with a reduced rate of interest. I'll describe debt consolidation in detail in a separate articlehowever this often is available in the kind of an unsecured personal financing from a banka lending institutionor an on the internet lender. Charge card with lending interest rates are another choice. Those with extremely bad credit could resort to secured financing such as home-equity financing that utilize their assets as security in instance of default. The significant disadvantages of debt consolidation is that your much lower settlements make it simpler to get into trouble once moreand you might wind up paying a great deal much more over the life of your consolidated financing as a result of a longer term. For a lot more on debt consolidationview my different post on the best debt consolidation companies and Debt Settlement Companies.
Debt management.
In a debt management plana specialist negotiates with your creditor to lower your rates of interest and regular monthly costsbut your loan principal remains the exact same. You'll pay the firmand also they distribute the cash to your creditors. Your credit could take a favorite from participating in these process if the business isn't on the ball with paymentshowever. It can likewise be challenging to separate legally practical programs from rip-offs and shady unreliable companies. For much more on debt managementsee my different post on the most effective debt management firms.
For most peoplepersonal bankruptcy is the nuclear alternative. The unfavorable effects of bankruptcy could certainly be extremeconsisting of an enormous influence on your credit. Howeverthe court is out on whether it's better or worse compared to debt settlement. Certainlybankruptcy lawyers will tell you bankruptcy is much better compared to debt settlementwhile debt settlement companies will certainly tell you the opposite. There is no one-size-fits-all-answer to this questionbut you have absolutely nothing to shed by investigating both optionsideally with the assistance of an honest specialist.
One point to think about: If you're eligible for Chapter 7 personal bankruptcythe process could be over relatively quickly and also with sensible certainty that your unsecured debts will certainly be eliminated. Debt settlementon the various other handis more of a question mark. If you press the procedure into as short a time frame as feasible with a knowledgeable company that properly resolves your financial obligationsthis can be better. Yet the procedure could also drag on for several years without warranty of success.
Avoiding Debt Settlement Scams.
If you've evaluated the pros and cons of debt settlement and also intend to give it a goconsider these last cautionary suggestions as you look for a trustworthy business. While the sector has actually come a long method considering that a government crackdown on unpleasant practices in 2010you'll still have to keep the adhering to in thoughts to avoid rip-offs:.
You need to be the one to initiate call. Shady firms are more likely to aggressively hunt for as well as hound potential clients.
Do your homework. Take a look at the business's Better Business Bureau rating as well as any other online reviews you could locate. Nearly every business will create problemsyet some will certainly produce far more compared to others.
You shouldn't pay any in advance costs. In 2010the Federal Trade Commission prohibited these for any sort of specialist that works over the phonedriving several shady business out of business. However some continuously discover loopholes in the rules.
No firm could assure results. It's ultimately as much as your creditorsnot the debt settlement firmwhether or not they will settle your financial obligations. If you view such a warrantyaction along.
Collection telephone calls and cases are still a risk. A debt settlement company can't stop a creditor from these activities if they're determined to take them.
The company needs to make a number of disclosures just before you join. Those include just what you'll be payinghow long the routine will lastand also the possible adverse impacts of not paying your creditors during a settlement plan.
The Bottom Line.
As you look for the very best debt settlement specialistskeep one word in mind: Transparency. The very best debt settlement specialists won't keep you in the dark about any kind of essential information simply since they want your money. They will certainly additionally have affordable chargescomprehensive consumer supportclear web sitesas well as financial savings prices according to or better compared to their competitors. If you're uncertain where to startthe business I profiled above deserve an appearance. Best of luck!

A number of things struck me with regards Saturday's 2-1 loss to San Jose Earthquakes, not least the weak officiating.
Fans have been quick to bring me up to speed on the level of refereeing in MLS. I try not to be too harsh on the men in the middle (and their colleagues), because it is a tough job, not made any easier by players - of every team - doing their best to test the ref's judgment.
Mr. Jorge Gonzalez set his stall out early on at the weekend, calling 'Quakes 'keeper Jon Busch for time-wasting on a number of occasions in the opening 15 minutes. He even ran 40-yards to hammer home his point, eager to make sure Busch knew who was in charge. It seemed a little soon for the ref to be taking such steps, and I was skeptical as to whether he'd be consistent throughout the 90 minutes.
Of course, he wasn't.
Highlights: COL 1, SJ 2
Gonzalez's early actions alerted the Rapids bench, who were then watching for Busch to take his time at a re-start which – from the tapping of their watches – he did on a regular basis. This agitated Oscar Pareja and Co.
The referee was not consistent, and consistency – whether we agree with the decisions being made – is what we as fans clamor for from our match officials.
Busch pushed his luck, and got away with it. If the Rapids were leading, at the home of a tricky opponent, our fans would be quite pleased to see Clint Irwin take his time. I'm not blaming Busch. I blame the referee, who made a rod for his own back and didn't have the strength to stand by his initial stance.
Atiba Harris was rash and reckless in his challenge on Alan Gordon. Late, from behind and coming through the side of the player, who was going nowhere. It was a red card all day, so let's not take the blinkered view that it was anything else.
My issue here, though, is again the officiating. Mr. Gonzalez had a perfect view, from less than 20-yards away. He was stood directly behind the challenge and will have seen everything – and yet he was still reaching for only a yellow card until corrected by his 4th Official. What hadn't he seen that his colleague had? Did he feel that Harris had maybe made contact with the ball first? If so, then it's a firm challenge with the ball won and deserving of nothing more than a 'Quakes throw.
We saw it when the Rapids played at Columbus. Referees failing to make the big calls. On that occasion, the Disciplinary Committee got involved. On this occasion, the 4th Official was forced to lend a hand and spare the referee's blushes.
Now, I'm all for the match officials working together to make – ultimately – the right call, but the referee should've been strong enough to have cautioned Busch, as he appeared on course to do. And he ought to have been pulling the red from his pocket as he rushed toward Harris, and not dithering over a yellow.
Strong officials are better officials. In MLS, there's still some way to go on that score.
Highlights: COL 1, SJ 2
Now to matters concerning the Rapids on Saturday.
First, it was sensational to see Jaime Castrillon back on the field, and he very nearly leveled the game with a flying header.
Nathan Sturgis again highlighted why there's been little room for Pablo Mastroeni in the starting eleven.
And Martin Rivero was instrumental in almost every good thing the team did after the interval.
But – as with the games against Chivas USA and FC Dallas – the Rapids only really got going after the break. The level of intensity early on was not where it should be. Visiting teams, playing at altitude, need to be pressed and pushed from the very start. Don't let them settle. Don't let them dictate play. Don't let them boss the Rapids in their own back yard.
San Jose did just that on Saturday.
The two goals conceded were particularly disappointing. Defensively the side has been so disciplined this season. The decision-making has been superb. Sadly, that wasn't the case against the 'Quakes. Players were too easily pulled out of position. Communication appeared lacking, and the crafty, cunning Earthquakes were able to take advantage.
Agreed, there were always going to be gaps when a man down, but there should not be gaps in the final third, either in defense, or in the space just in front of the back four. That's the area you protect, whilst going one short in attack.
The Rapids were left to rue a missed opportunity, against a struggling side. At Dick's Sporting Goods Park, the side should revel in home field advantage. They didn't look like the home team until down to 10 men and a goal adrift, by which stage the job had become that much harder.

Motherhood Journals by Tracey Clark
Perhaps at no other point in your life will you feel as reflective as when you are pregnant or have just become a mother. Although not every moment is magical and special, it is certainly worth trying to record these new experiences and attempt to document the fullness of your heart. We love Tracey Clark's motherhood journals - Waiting for Baby and Baby of Mine - for this endeavor.
Tracey is the founder of the collaborative photography blog, Shutter Sisters, so it's no surprise that her books are graced with lovely photographs that capture these tender times. Both Waiting for Baby and Baby of Mine are part journal, part memory book and part photo book (for your own photos) which have the very practical feature of being spiral bound for ease of writing (a nice feature of many of publisher Chronicle Books' products).
Look for Tracey's motherhood journals in your local bookstore or online. Besides Shutter Sisters, Tracey maintains her own website and blog where you can also find out about these books.

Ever since I bought my HTC HD7 way back in October 2010, I have been hooked on Windows Phone. Without even being able to test-drive the new operating system (The Netherlands didn't get Windows Phone 7 until a year later), I imported the HD7 from the US - the minimalist, stark, clean, flat, and textual interface spoke to me, and I just knew I would like it. And like it, I did.

i don't have any requirement. the definition however implies that i should be able to do essentially all of the actions that i could do if it was maximized and the only app on screen. So, if you can only close them , no i don't see that as Wimp interface. i see it as a GUI for a app launcher/closer/selector, but they are not individual windows of individual programs with full or near full capacity.

Former State Senate candidate Eric Bodenweiser was charged today with more than 100 counts related to child sexual abuse.
Former State Senate candidate Eric Bodenweiser was charged today with more than 100 counts related to child sexual abuse.
A Sussex County grand jury handed up an indictment on Monday charging the 53-year-old Georgetown Republican with 74 counts of second-degree unlawful sexual contact and 39 counts of first-degree unlawful sexual intercourse, according to a spokesman for the Delaware Department of Justice.
Bodenweiser turned himself in to state police at the Sussex County Courthouse immediately after the indictment was handed up.
He is being held at the Sussex County Correctional Institution in Georgetown on a $250,000 secured bail, officials said.
If Bodenweiser posts bail, he will be required to wear a GPS monitoring device and subject to pre-trial supervision by the Delaware Division of Probation and Parole.
Monday's indictment is the culmination of a weeks-long investigation by Delaware State Police into reports that Bodenweiser had sexually abused a child.
According to the indictment, all of the alleged abuse occurred in Sussex County between October 1987 and August 1990 when the victim was under the age of 16.
Bodenweiser, who defeated incumbent Joe Booth in the Sept. 11 Republican primary, formally withdrew from the District 19 state senate race last week.
That announcement came just days after Bodenweiser suspended his campaign amid reports that he was under investigation by the state police.
He stopped returning phone messages earlier this month and did not answer the door at his Georgetown home Oct. 12.
Rumors of the police investigation became widespread after Bodenweiser failed to appear at numerous campaign events following a Sept. 27 fundraiser in Georgetown with former U.S. Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell.
The state and Sussex County Republican committees have since endorsed Brian Pettyjohn, a former Georgetown mayor who filed as a write-in candidate on Oct. 1. Pettyjohn will face Georgetown Democrat and community activist Jane Hovington in the Nov. 6 general election.
Ed Heath, a Bridgeville Republican who attended Bodenweiser's fundraiser last month, said he was left dumbfounded by the news of the indictment against Bodenweiser.
"We don't know the whole story, so there's always a chance he could be found innocent," he said. "But we're definitely disappointed by this. If he had this skeleton in his background, he never should have run because everything gets brought out in the wash."

Your second home should be the place to escape from the daily grind, to relax and unwind with your family and friends. Furthermore second homes are the best place to showcase your personality. For these reasons, you need to make sure your personal hideaway remains a safe haven, a place that's worth dreaming about, no matter how many times you visit. This all begins with your home décor or rather interior design scheme. Here are the things you should consider when designing your dream home-away-from-home.
Abandon convention
Leave behind any rules you'd usually apply to decorating your home; your second home is the place to have fun. Experiment with light and colours to create a space that's truly unique. Try out those bold patterns you may have always wanted to try but were a bit afraid to use at home. As always with bold prints, start off in moderation and build up piece by piece.
Plan for future flexibility
You could be sharing this space with any number of friends, family and guests so purchasing multipurpose or larger pieces of furniture gives you additional options in the coming years. Creating an open floor plan also allows for plenty of scope whether entertaining large numbers of guests or planning a private getaway for two. Another good idea is to invest in durable furnishings and hard-wearing textiles that will last the distance – particularly if you plan on renting out your home at any point.
Be inspired by your surroundings
Let the location influence your design. In coastal getaways, consider blues, glass and rustic rope and driftwood features in the rooms and outdoor space. Wood cabins lend themselves to warm colours, thick rugs and log stacks inside, while fire pits and cosy spaces outside are a must. If you're in an exotic location, incorporate bright colours and locally inspired prints and patterns. Try to find some local art pieces too to really give your home an authentic feel.
Celebrate the views
Often the view is a vital feature of your holiday home. It's a large part of relaxing too, so make sure you keep your windows and windowsills clear of clutter. Let the fantastic vistas speak for themselves and opt for simple curtains in light materials if it's a warm location, or something heavy yet simple if not. Effectively showing off your surroundings serves as a constant reminder that you've escaped normality.
Remember your outdoor space
When on holiday your outdoor areas can be just as important as your interiors. In warmer climes, transform balconies, gardens and verandas into shady spots for relaxation and contemplation. Even when it's not so warm, the outdoors can be equally inviting provided you have the right furnishings. Look into purchasing soft, outdoor-ready blankets, warm, sociable seating and, of course, patio heaters.
