Happy New Year's Eve! This is the last book in the adult section of my library for the One Ends, Another Begins Book Challenge
Level 26 by Anthony E. Zuiker, with Duane Swierczynski
Review by Lauren
copy from library, all opinions are my own
Official Summary: Law enforcement personnel categorize murderers on a scale of twenty-five levels of evil-from the naive opportunists starting out at Level 1 to the organized, premeditated torture murderers who inhabit Level 25. But to an elite unnamed investigations group assigned to hunt down the world's most dangerous killers, headed by Steve Dark, a new category of killer is being defined....
Review: Level 26 is one of those books that would normally fascinate me, but I might not actually pick up for fear of being too scared. However, with this challenge, it's all about being surprised and taking a chance...so I dove into the book and found it to be one I was always reluctant to put down. Yes, it's definitely a scary novel, focusing around a serial killer that surpasses any before him. He doesn't have set targets. He doesn't use just one form of torture. But he's become obsessed with investigator Steve Dark, and suddenly, things are starting to make some more sense.
This monster goes by the nickname Sqweegel, as he has never left any DNA behind. If you look at the book cover, you can see the back of the white, latex suit that Sqweegel always wears in order to keep his secrets to himself. As for Steve Dark, he has been "tortured" by Sqweegel in the past and he is set on keeping to himself and trying to live a normal life. But when Sqweegel ups the ante, the government knows that Dark is their only hope and they'll do anything to get him back on their side of justice.
I liked that this book followed various third-person point of views because it allowed you to get a fuller look at the story, without ruining the major surprises. Obviously the book mostly follows Dark, with Sqweegel right behind. Getting into the head of Sqweegel is not exactly a good place to be, but the third- person point of view allowed a small degree of separation to keep the reader sane. If you're easily frightened, this might not be the best choice of novel for you, but I have to admit that I am a scaredy-cat for sure and I still really loved this book. Unfortunately, most of my free time to read was at night which certainly makes the book even more frightening, but it was worth it. I found the psychological aspects of the book interesting and even though there are descriptions of violence and sexual acts, nothing is overly described. There is usually just enough to get the point across.
The most original aspect of this novel is that it's the first digi-novel. The main author, Anthony Zuiker, created the show CSI, so he was able to get a variety of actors together to create actual scenes from the book. Throughout the novel there are moments that tell you "if you want to see..." then log onto the website and use a set code. Since two other books have been released since this one, things are a bit different. Now, you go to Level26.com and click the first book's title. This brings you to Youtube and the clips are listed in order by number. I wasn't always by a computer when reading so I didn't watch the clips right when they "appeared" in the book but I did go back and get caught up. If you can read something better than you can watch it, feel free to skip the clips. They are an extra to enhance the novel but you don't need to watch them. I found them interesting though and a wonderful addition.
In the end, while I was certainly freaked out while reading some parts, I'm glad I took the chance. This was an excellent thriller/mystery and I do want to read the rest! I have to know what happens next as this book leaves you with a few questions.

Texas Supreme Court tells Houston that citizens have the right to vote
by John Litzler on July 30, 2015 in church law
The Texas Supreme Court has ordered the Houston City Council to either repeal its Houston Equal Rights Ordinance by Aug. 24 or put the ordinance to a vote during the city's November election. HERO amended Houston's Code of Ordinances to prevent all residents of Houston from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. The Court stated that, "though the ordinance is steeped in controversy, the legal principles at play are relatively simple."
The Houston City Council passed HERO on May 28, 2014./p>... [continue]

Skyline Steel has developed a groundbreaking solution for below grade parking and basement structures. Below grade construction has numerous design and construction issues that above grade structures do not. That is why building underground is so costly and only considered when all other options are exhausted.
Skyline Steel is changing the economics of conventional below grade construction by utilizing steel sheet piling as the permanent foundation wall. This innovative use of sheet pile eliminates the need to construct a permanent wall within a shored excavation, which greatly reduces the construction schedule. The reduced schedule equates to significant project savings and a greater return on investment.

My "No 'Poo" Experience
Note: I am still "no 'poo!" Check out my more recent post that includes a YouTube video showing how I separate my hair to distribute the shampoo!
I cannot get over how terrible the phrase, "no 'poo" sounds. Oh well. The point of this post is to express my satisfaction with this method of hair cleansing after having done it for about a month and a half!
Anyhoo, going without shampoo has been a bit of an online trend for the past year or two (from what I've noticed) and I originally had looked into it because I had dyed my hair a flaming shade of red, which is an incredibly tedious color to keep up. I figured that it would make my color last much longer if I stopped scrubbing away the color.
When I first looked into it, the post I found (I can't remember where I found it) didn't really specify how to nix shampoo, so I went maybe two weeks without washing my hair, and just used conditioner to rinse away build up. This worked terribly for me. I was a nasty grease-ball. </3
Little did I know, at the time, that going without shampoo doesn't mean going without actually washing your hair. A baking soda mixture is used as a "shampoo" and diluting apple cider vinegar works as a "conditioner." Seriously.
So I went a year and a half until I came across a "no-shampoo" blog post while I was pinning one afternoon. I looked through, and took interest because the woman had updated the post to show that she had been shampoo-free for two full years. She posted pictures and everything!
One of the things that stood out about her post the most, was how she explained why to go "no 'poo." To recap what she shared: Shampoo is a detergent, which means that it strips your hair of its oils in order to get rid of the junk that clings to those oils. So it does work. Except that if a person wants soft, smooth, and luscious hair, then don't they need those natural oils? Yes. Absolutely yes.
Another good point that she made was that many shampoos and cosmetics have mineral oil in them, which does not absorb into your skin, "it acts as a barrier on our scalp, preventing oil from being released." Please check out her blog post (linked above) as well as this one for more info!
Now, there are several more reasons to go, "no 'poo" and they are as follows:
- To be green! Why waste all those plastic bottles that accumulate with every bottle of shampoo?
- To save money. Think about how much a bottle of decent shampoo costs. Plus conditioner. 😛
- To achieve a healthy scalp! So many people are concerned about healthy hair that they forget it starts with a healthy scalp. I have used plenty of different types of shampoo (I usually always went back to Pantene) and none have cleaned my scalp so well as this "no shampoo" method.
The third bullet point was my personal reasoning for kicking shampoo and conditioner to the curb. I have an oily, flaky scalp, which I think is a mild case of seborrheic dermatitis—since I get it on my lashline as well. I tried using medicated dandruff shampoo, which seemed to get rid of buildup, but it never really cleared away the gunk on my scalp—talk about a reason to feel un-pretty. My aunt had previously suggested that I add tea tree oil to my shampoo to help my scalp. (For those who don't know, tea tree oil is used for its natural but powerful anticeptic/antifungal qualities.) Using the oil is something I hadn't gotten around to, but I figured that if I was going to try that, why not try this "no 'poo" regimen while I'm at it?
I followed the "recipe" from the simplemom blog I linked earlier, except since I have coarse hair, and an oily scalp, I added a lot more baking soda. I filled a 6 oz. bottle a little more than a third of the way full with the baking soda and filled the rest with water. (Shake it up when you mix it so that you fill it all the way to the top with water.) The bottle lasts me about three washes. Make sure to shake it up before and while you're using it! This mixture will be different for everyone, depending on hair type and how dry or oily their scalp is. I have read that it is best for coarse, and wavy/curly hair. (I think there's a coconut milk shampoo recipe out there that would probably suit fine hair much better.)
Additionally, there will definitely be a "transition period" if you're someone who washes your hair daily or even every other day. I was shampooing my hair about twice a week and I had about a week long transition period where my hair was greasy and almost always kept back in a ponytail. I would suggest cutting back on your regular shampoo use for a few weeks before switching to the baking soda mixture.
I now add tea tree oil to the shampoo (I hadn't for the first few batches, just to see the difference that using only baking soda made) and I usually put about a teaspoon in each batch. I don't measure it too closely. If you decide to use tea tree oil, and have never used it otherwise, make sure to dilute a little bit with water and test it behind your ear to see if you have a bad reaction to it. I had seen a difference in my scalp from just the baking soda mixture, it wasn't as itchy, and there was very little build up. I think that the gentle scrubbing from the baking soda makes a huge difference. But I can definitely say that using tea tree oil has almost completely cleared up my oily dandruff. I wish I would have known about this sooner!
Using the apple cider vinegar "conditioner" is important. It balances the pH of your hair, so it softens and detangles. I use it on the ends of my hair, just like I did with regular conditioner. I made the mistake of skipping it recently and my hair wasn't as luscious and manageable as usual—certainly better than when I used regular shampoo, but not as nice as it gets after my usual wash. I mix about a tablespoon of vinegar in my 6 oz. bottle and fill the rest with water. I could probably use even less, but I haven't bothered to change up my mixture. The conditioner lasts me about eight washes.
I think that the most important thing to do while using this method is to section your hair while adding the shampoo. I usually wet my hair down and then pull the section of my hair from the backs of my ears and above out of the way. Then I distribute the mixture along the part line directly from my shampoo bottle, and then scrub that section a little before separating a section from about my temples and above up and out of the way, I repeat the process and make sure to get my front hairline and the crown of my head very well. Then I scrub for a good minute or so, to make sure that I covered every strand! Simply rinse and follow with the apple cider vinegar mixture as you had previously used your conditioner (rinse that out as well).
I see a huge difference in the appearance and texture of my hair and as I mentioned before, my scalp. It's not a difference that only I notice, either. My boyfriend likes that he can actually run his fingers through my hair without them getting caught in the frizzy tangles that previously resided on my head.
Just a few more tips and ideas:
- Purchase a boar bristle brush. Using it helps to help distribute the natural oils on your hair evenly.
- I used the vinegar mixture to get sand out of my hair while I was in Alabama a few weeks ago! It worked very well, so that was handy to learn. I might start bringing a bottle of it to the beach from now on.
- You can use the baking soda mixture as a gentle exfoliator on your face, as well. It works very well for me and I have pretty oily skin. I have a separate mixture that I added nutmeg to (for blackheads.)
- Apparently the vinegar mixture can be used as an astringent as well, but I haven't tried it. I use Witch Hazel or Neutrogena "Acne Stress Control" astringent.
I would also like to add that using this baking soda shampoo will NOT prevent your hair dye color from fading, it might actually make it fade more.
I hope I've enlightened a few people, and convinced a few more that going no-shampoo isn't just for hippies. I really love this method, and my hair hasn't felt so nice since I was a little girl. 🙂
I would love to know about anyone else's endeavors into a world without conventional shampoo and conditioner. Please share your stories!
To (literally) illustrate my point, here is a photo of my hair a few hours after washing with regular shampoo and conditioner:
And here's a picture (taken today) a few hours after washing with baking soda and apple cider vinegar conditioner:

It took me a while and a lot of research online, but I think I've finally found the answer to my scalp woes. I used to have a terribly itchy and flaky scalp that I managed to ease up by laying off of shampooing everyday. Will certainly give the techniques that you have mentioned here. Thanks again. 🙂

Thanks so much for posting your experience online. I have gone shampoo free for close to two months and my daughter was eager to try it out. However, I was afraid to let her do it as she has both oily scalp and pretty bad dandruff. I had used a tiny bit of tea tree oil in my apple cider vinegar "conditioner" so I used quite a bit in her shampoo. This first time her hair came out quite tangled. Is this normal? I told her to use the detangler she would normally use.

I am thinking about ditching shampoo, but it's really scary to me. I have horrible eczema on my scalp and I've tried SO many things from Rx shampoos to injections directly into my scalp! My problem is that I have very greasy, fine, wavy hair and combined with eczema I have to wash daily to keep the flakes and oil down. I tried washing my hair every other day for a while, but it got so bad that I couldn't stand it anymore – at the end of the day I'd have a scratch fest on my scalp because it itched so much. I'm going to try and use shampoo every other day, but still use a little bit of conditioner for the next week or so and see how that works.

Hello! (:
I have hair exactly like in your 'before' pic, and this post really inspired me to try my own no 'poo method. But I was wondering how long it took for you to get the results you got? /is super impatientJune 10, 2013 at 12:20 am
if you want a good shampoo and conditioner use mane n tail it works good for me i heard of it on youtube and i bought it at my local walmart (in the pets section) it can be used in horses but it is safe for humans it is making my hair grow longer faster than it normally does, i had thick hair, its supposed to make you hair thicker, but it made mine thinner. if you have thick hair like mine i would suggest that. my friend that has thin hair also uses it and it made her hair thicker. it makes no sence what so ever!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

alright, so i can still lurk
alright, so i can still lurk
Sound just like an average school day for me... Homophobic and transphobic comments are very very casual here.
The teachers do nothing about this
I know what you mean. But they all "correct" them selves. :/
I know i don't wear feminine clothing (yet) or anything, but still. Most, if not all, people still see me as male. And I'm too self conscious too correct them.
I don't really see it as immature. Its one way of communication, so why not utilize it if you can't bring yourself to actually tell her face to face?
it's pretty damn unfortunate.
good thing i know that a few people i came out to are okay with it though c:
though it sucks that it's the norm in both places, there's good people everywhere.
Oh god I love you girls so much. <3 Stay strong.
(this message may or may not have been brought to you by effects of alcohol.)
You too :D
At you don't somehow manage to slur your typing like SOME PEOPLE!
Oh geeze
I feel lucky, because homosexuals are pretty well accepted here. Trans is completely unheard of here so you'd never hear a negative comment towards it.
Alright so my therapist thinks I'm not depressed enough to be transgender. It's not like hiding it for 8-9 years has made me pretty much stone cold to all emotions or anything. Also apparently I have to be super girly to be trans?
Why I never bothered with a therapist.
you need one here.
doesnt look very promising for me.
Fuck therapists, they think everything has to go exactly by the book and that everyone is the same. Their so full of shit.
oh my god. tomorrow is the big day and i'm feeling way sicker than i usually do.
The point is that I would get hormones and apparently that's the only thing stopping me
I have an appointment on wednesday I need to figure something out
It's not like someone would lie to get hormones... The therapists should be on your side anyway, they can't decide for you what you feel like.
lots of people have to lie over in norway because of the way stuff works over there.
That's bullshit. There are many different girls - super-girly girls, normal girls, butch girls, whatever girls. If butch cis-gender girls exist, so do butch trans-girls. Your therapist is very uneducated and is an idiot.
it's unfortunate but there isn't much they can do about it.
"be more depressed, you're not trans enough" is what i'm getting out of that
what a crock of shit. There's no right way to be a woman, a man, a transperson. Telling a client they aren't depressed enough is probably the last thing you should do as a therapist as well
Well this is the only place in Finland where I can realistically go to so I need to convince them somehow. I mean should I go out in female clothing in an obviously male body? I doubt the public reception would be very good.
well, there has to be something you can do.
Been opening up to a few friends about this lately, Told two irl friends and they took it fine and were really supportive about it, I ended up not talking about this to my mother but she knows it is related to me being transgender now.
me: I'm bad at making decisions, at the moment, it would feel as the only right choice.. but I am afraid that I will regret it later
friend: well that means that you aren't ready yet. You have to think about it properly. You have your whole life to decide
Is it true that it is never too late to start the sex change?
I have those feelings of regret too. I think you're going to have them all the time. You need a therapist. And yeah, you can start any time you want but, of course, the younger you are the better.
I'm really starting to dislike the negative attitudes in this thread. Stop the self-deprecation, it's not going to help anything. You can't rely on the hormones to get you where you want to be, YOU have to take yourself there. If you're tired of people using male pronouns around you, do something about it. Wear your clothes out in public, and stop being so afraid. If you want to be seen as female, you must present yourself as female. And that has to start at some point.
Girls come in all shapes and sizes and varieties, nobody is going to suspect anything unless you're wearing lingerie in public.
If you don't have all the things you need to present yourself as a girl, improvise. Don't have fake breasts? Get a bra and stuff it with old socks. Are your hips too narrow? Roll up some boxers and put them in the sides of your pants. There are tons of things you can do to make things better, and continuing to present yourself as male is not one of them.
Yes, showing them that you already live in your desired role plays hugely into convincing them.
What are the rules and regulations regarding transsexuality over in Scandinavia, anyway? I would have assumed they were pretty liberal about it, but I've heard that there's a lot of negativity towards trans-people over there.
The sex change is actually better if done pre-hormones. Estrogen will shrink the male genitals, and thus there is less material to work with.
I've heard people who have been told they're "not trans enough"... it's complete rubbish...
For anyone who feels like this, watch this video, it helped me a lot cos I could relate to quite a bit of it :)
what clothes?
So get some.
with what money?
Well it's not my style to wear super-feminine clothing. I mean I wear girl's pants geez
You actually have to be sterile to get a gender change on legal documents, which is completely silly.
Unless the laws have recently changed, which I doubt.
awlrighty, i'm going to head to bed. good luck in figuring out a way to talk to your therapist.
There's still a lot you can do there. Just wear some more colorful shirts, add a bra and stuff it.
Well, that's kind of true everywhere. I mean, you have to have the operation in most parts of the world, and that's pretty much completely ending the ability to reproduce.
Jesus. Sell old possessions, do some work for neighbors, save up money you get from holidays and other events, or see if your friends can help out.
very true, I'm not overly girlish but I know who I am and what I want to do. I'll say that I'm a bit nervous about effing up my appointment, but I feel I'm not in the wrong for having gone through male conditioning, that what led me to where I am should make sense to a trained professional.
Pretty spot-on vid too
Holiday, Birthday, Job (I'm aware of how bad the Canadian youth unemployment rate is, but that doesn't mean you can't try) and shop thrift?
Being proactive really can be helpful
my birthday was a few months ago back in january. christmas is a long ways off and there aren't any jobs here. besides even then i'm too uncomfortable with myself to actually handle talking to people.
oh, i couldn't sleep by the way
I just wish I could have a normal life. I'm already having enough problems and going through a sex change now would mess up everything even more. My social relationships right now aren't too good and I can't afford to people to see me as weird and potentially lose more friends. (I just lost two of my most important people for things slightly related to this so I am seriously scared, and saying "they weren't your real friends doesn't help")
I'm also really scared about using medicine, it took me 4 years for doctors to persuade me to start taking antidepressants and I admit, I clearly should have started it before. I don't even take painkillers, I just can't I'm scared that I abuse them like I did before. Just seeing my tablets on my table scares me that if I flip out I might do anything and I can't stop myself. Going through a surgery is something I wish to never experience, I am so scared of it. Modifying my body is so scary, I don't want to ruin it, I just wish I could learn to live like the way I am. Maybe this is just a stage in my life, even though it has been going on for as long as I remember. Being an artificial girl just feels wrong. I don't want to crossdress because I just feel wrong doing it knowing that I am not a real girl. Fuck, I will never be able to give birth. It's just something that makes me so sad.
I appreciate the support and information I have received, but I will have to live with this and for now I decide to keep being my androgynous self. I find it hard to make decisions and I change my mind way too often and I am really scared about anything that might go wrong and if I change my mind later I will hate myself even more than I do now.
Feel free to PM me, I love talking to you people and I know how important it is for me to receive support while I give my support to you.
I just wanted to get this out of my system, sorry.
Please don't say anything negative about this post, I feel really vulnerable right now.
we're running out of hearts!
youre all fucking sick. pathetic excuses for men, you should all be castrated and then suffer when you realize you dont want to be a woman after all. stupid twats.
Surgery is not at all a requirement, and there's no reason for you to go through it if it's not what you want. Do you not have a therapist that you can talk these issues through with?
I agree. Come, let's go away, you and I. We can be away from all of this. Be my lover.
What is the point of starting hormones if I don't plan to finish the sex change?
Also, received a hate mail from that guy who just got banned, it was so ridiculous that it actually made me laugh. I was going to share it but maybe I shouldn't.
i hate to say this but i have almost no possessions worth a sum of money that'd be worth the effort needed to sell them off. my friends are also poor as fuck and i wouldn't even consider them friends anyway [remember that guy who called me a tranny?]
holidays are a long ways off and my birthday already passed months ago.
not to mention my neighbours are fucking assholes who drill stuff into the wall at night, have their dog bark insanely loud and call us assholes for whatever reason they can conjure up.
i'll find money though thats for sure!

Been really finding a lot time lately to play games. I was able to finish up the Starcraft II campaign last night and am now itching to try some online matches. I was a competent RTS player in the day of WCII/WCIII, I hope I haven't lost all of it.

Possibilities with guitar and max4live
Hi Guys,
I'm just new starting out in Max having just bought M4L. I'm just trying to get an idea of what I may be able to do with max4live and my guitar mainly. Although I may play with some simple synthesis stuff, i'd probably stick to using my many VST/AU's for that!
I've read about the audio input limitations in M4L. I'm wondering can I combine midi and audio, and audio and other data?
Would the following be possible in M4L?
1. creating a multieffects board for guitar (yes) – then controlling it with a midi foot controller?
2. adding an accelerometer to my guitar (say just taping on a wiimote), and then using that data to modulate the audio/audio effects that i'm putting on the guitar with the above patch?
3. combining my guitar and voice (realtime) in some weird and wonderful way that I havent thought of yet to come up with a guitar/voice vocoding monster thing?
Essentially – am I missing out on being able to do some things due to the limitations of m4l? I know (or am pretty sure that the above can all be done in max)
Thanks for the help!
Thanks raja – can I just confirm all these functions will work in max4live? – I don't have to purchase max standalone?
I think max for live makes some of this easier for me as I can use whatever effects I make with my favorite amp mdels and other vst effects easily.
I'm still working through tutorials but it is good to have something to focus on. Obviously most standard effects are pretty easy to come by in vst or foot pedal form, but it gives me a starting point for learning. And then I can work into the latter two myself.
I was unsure however if I am able to integrate midi and audio inputs into the same max4live patch?
The seem to be created under the defined categories of audio effect, audio instrument, or midi instrument/midi effect.
Thanks for the help though. If anyone has done any processing with their own guitars I'd love to hear about it!
hey vinayk. as a m4l and max user myself, since beta and 8 years respectively, i can guarantee everything you want to do + much much more is totally possible in and even perfectly suited to max-for-live. hanging out on forums and reading docs and doing all the tutorials AND looking at the brilliant links raja has posted already, will get you there for sure. midi in to audio out in live is handled by 'Max Instrument'. sending data around in various ways by live.remote~ and others, sends / receives (with caveats) and OSC very well. taking apart the brilliant max-5-guitar tutorials is an excellent introduction and education.

Düsseldorf, Germany
Trip Start
Apr 15, 2003
Trip End
Sep 01, 2011
We had heard that D�sseldorf city center, the Altstadt, is jokingly known as Germany's biggest bar and this isn't far short of the truth.... at least given our limited experience of being there only for Saturday afternoon and evening. There are an enormous number of pubs within its boundaries. The locals certainly seem to have a good time. The jokey atmosphere in many pubs should help to dispel people's misconceptions about Germans' lack of humor and general dourness.
On our way back from D�sseldorf, we stopped by the small medieval town of Moers, Germany. We strolled among old buildings and churches. Also, we visited a local county museum that housed furniture, tiles and artwork covering the region over the last 1000 years.
Across the German border and back into the Netherlands, we stopped at the national park Hoge Veluwe which has beautiful surroundings, and free bikes at the gates to cycle through the grounds. We cycled 24 km and didn't cover even 1/2 of trails. One could spend all day biking. It smelled great and has lots of wildlife. We biked through lots of different terrain -- forest, sand dunes, and grasslands.
In the middle of the park is the modern art museum Kr�ller-M�ller with a major collection of works by Van Gogh, Seurat, Redon, Braque, Picasso, Juan Gris, Mondriaan and others. There is an excellent statue garden too.
That's it for now. Next week Dave, our friend from NYC, will visit. We'll post a log about his visit. Be sure to Email us if you'd like us to do a certain type of log. You can also subscribe or unsubscribe to this travelogue at the top and bottom of the page. Regards -- Chris & Mel

In collaboration with the Designer Selection Board (DSB), the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM) has developed the Standard Designer Evaluation Form for all Municipalities and all other Public Agencies not within DSB's jurisdiction. Section 48 of Chapter 7C (formerly Section 38E of Chapter 7) of the Massachusetts General Laws, requires that an Evaluation Form shall be completed by every Public Agency, as defined in Section 44a of Chapter 149, upon completion of the work under a design contract under its control, and submitted to DCAMM and the DSB for the designer's qualification file. The intent of these evaluation forms is to improve accountability among the Designers and the Public Agencies they serve. The information on these evaluations will be made available to the DSB and to the Public Agencies to assist them as they select design firms for public building projects.
A written preliminary evaluation is required to be completed by the Public Agency and submitted to the Designer at the completion of the schematic phase of the project M.G.L. c. 7C, §48). This will serve as a progress report and provide an opportunity for the Agency and the Designer to discuss the firm's performance on the project to date. At the final completion of the project the Public Agency must give the completed evaluation form to the Designer within 30 days to allow time for a written response from the Designer.
Any Public Agency that fails to complete and submit the designer evaluation form together with any written response from the Designer, to the DSB and DCAMM within 70 days of occupancy, shall be ineligible for the receipt of any public funds disbursed by the commonwealth for the purposes of public building or public works projects. (M.G.L. c. 149, §44D(7)
Designer Evaluation for the Design Phase
Designer Evaluation for the Design Phase
Designer Evaluation for the Construction Phase
Designer Evaluation for the Construction Phase
There are two stages in the project at which the Public Agency must complete the evaluation forms as follows:
•At the completion of the Schematic Design phase, the Agency must provide the Designer with a written preliminary evaluation for informational purposes. The Design Phase form may be utilized at this phase. This preliminary evaluation is not required to be submitted to DCAMM and the DSB, but must be provided to the Designer no later than 30 days after completion of the schematic design phase of the project.
•At the completion of the Construction project, the Public Agency must provide the Designer with a completed Design Phase and Construction Phase Evaluation Form for the entire project. These two completed forms must be submitted to the Designer no later than 30 days after occupancy of the project. The Public Agency must then submit these forms to the Designer Selection Board and the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance no later than 70 days after occupancy.
To encourage constructive and productive feedback to designers, the legislature provided for certain protections for public employees completing these evaluations. DCAMM encourages all managers as well as firms doing public design and construction to take full advantage of this communication tool. This is a great opportunity to enhance our ability to provide the best services to the public sector.
If you have any questions please call the DSB at (617) 727-4046. You may direct your questions to the Program Coordinator Claire Hester or Roberto Melendez, Administrative Assistant.

My favorite song is Acrobat, which sadly, they have never performed live, ever. Just once in a rehearsal in Hershey, PA in 1993 that someone caught a sound clip of. Everytime I am within earshot of Bono, all I do is scream "ACROBAT" lol

Airport parking and weapons in vehicle
I had heard that now it is allowed to keep a firearm in a locked vehicle on airport property in certain states. I work for an international company that expressly forbids any type of firearm on property but all company parking lots are actually on airport property and not owned by the company. I've heard the company is in the process of ammending this due to new legislation but can't find any information on this subject.

I wasn't aware there was ever any restriction on keeping a gun in a vehicle in an airport parking lot, there may be something local to where you are, but nothing federal. In fact, IIRC, there is no federal restriction on carrying guns in airports except in the restricted/secure areas.

In some cities the biggest concern is the car being ransacked and the gun stolen. In Memphis an FBI vehicle filled with guns was once stolen by some punks. In fact, in Memphis you are lucky if your car is anything more than a shell when you return from a trip. A city near me has private, secured, parking that is cheaper than the airport lot and they shuttle you back and forth. No brainer for me.

It's OK as long as its legal in your state and you are legally allowed to own a gun. The restrictions apply to entering the boarding area only as I understand it.

Welcome to TFL, oldguysrule!
This seems like more of a legal question than a general handgun question, so I'm going to ship it down to Law & Civil Rights.

As others have mentioned, there haven't been any laws passed on the federal level on this. There may be local or state restrictions where you live.

Simply because the airport technically owns the parking lot does not mean that the employer does not lease the lot exclusively for its business--in which case it could impose a private restriction on the presence of a firearm in a vehicle. The only exception would be those states that have passed laws expressly forbidding employers from banning guns in company parking lots. It is very unlikely that the airport has any private restriction--which would be ineffective in any event unless posted, and if the parking facility is generally open to the public (meaning open to persons not there on the employer's business), the employer would have a difficult time imposing any restrictions. The only other circumstance that should be considered is if you are driving an employer owned vehicle or operating your own private vehicle on the employer's business. Violating such a rule is often grounds for termination.

The company you work for can certainly prohibit you from keeping a firearm in a car you own in a parking lot they own/lease. However, the Feds have no law pertaining this, and actually, the only place a firearm is expressly prohibited by Federal law being carried is in the "Sterile" area beyond a checkpoint.
I've carried my gun concealed at Tuscon International many times, of course, not when travelling. |

I live in Texas and where I work we have to park in our employers parking lot. They have a no tolerance policy for firearms and or ammo in the building or parking lot. However Texas law prohibits them from banning those items in a personal vehicle in the parking lot. I keep my mouth shut and my gun locked in the truck in my gun vault. They also have it in their policy to search at any time and if we refuse we are terminated. I suppose if push comes to shove I can win legally but still be fired as they will find some other reason.

Couple: Truck was on fire before deadly bus crash
- Article by: FENIT NIRAPPIL
- Associated Press
- April 12, 2014 - 3:30 PM
ORLAND, Calif. — A tractor-trailer already was on fire as it came across a median and crashed into a tour bus, killing 10 people, according to a couple whose car was sideswiped by the big rig.
Joe and Bonnie Duran were driving a sedan northbound on the 5 Freeway on Thursday when they said a FedEx truck heading south careened toward them, struck their rental car and crashed into the oncoming bus carrying high school students from Southern California. The bus and truck quickly were engulfed in flames.
Bonnie Duran, who was driving, told KNBC-TV in Los Angeles that flames were coming from the lower rear of the truck cab.
"I just looked to the left and there it was coming through right at me at an angle. I can tell I wasn't going to outrun him so I just kind of turned to the right and he hit me," she said.
"It was in flames as it came through the median. ...It wasn't like the whole thing was engulfed, it was coming up wrapping around him."
KNBC reported the Durans will be interviewed Saturday by the California Highway Patrol before flying home to suburban Seattle. A CHP spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Investigators have not mentioned the possibility that the truck was on fire before the crash. Police also initially said the sedan and truck were traveling in the same direction when the truck swerved to avoid the sedan.
Five students from the Los Angeles area, three chaperones and the truck and bus drivers died in the crash about 100 miles north of Sacramento. Dozens were injured, some critically.
The bus was carrying 44 students to visit Humboldt State University in far Northern California. Michael Myvett and his fiancee, Mattison Haywood, both from Los Angeles, were two of four chaperones.
That Myvett, who graduated from Humboldt with a psychology degree in 2007 and worked with autistic children, was eager to make the trip with the woman he proposed to on bended knee in Paris last December made sense to friends and co-workers.
Haywood was "the love of his life" and "to be a liaison and representative for high school students who wanted to attend Humboldt was in sync with his personality, wanting to facilitate peoples' achievement of their dreams," said Kyle Farris, a colleague at the Center for Autism and Related Disorders in Torrance.
The bus carried a lot of dreams. It was one of three chartered to bring prospective students, many of them hoping to be the first in their families to attend college, to tour Humboldt before they got busy with prom and graduation.
"I can only imagine the excitement of these high school students as they were on their way to visit a college campus, and the pride of the adults who were accompanying them," U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said in a statement. "Our young people are our greatest treasure, and this loss is heartbreaking."
Desperate families awaited word about loved ones Friday, while investigators tried to figure out why the FedEx truck swerved across the grassy divide.
The Serrato family, whose identical twin 17-year-old daughters set off on the adventure on separate buses Thursday, had a panicked, sleepless night. Marisol made it to their destination but the family had no word on Marisa for nearly 24 hours.
They received the official word Friday evening when dental records confirmed Marisa was among the dead.
"Marisol is devastated," the girls' 23-year-old brother Miguel Serrato said.
Another victim was Adrian Castro, 19, a senior football player at El Monte High School east of Los Angeles. Castro was considering going to a state university closer to home but decided to give faraway Humboldt, home of sports teams known as the Lumberjacks, a chance, his father, Raul Castro, told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.
"He told me two days ago, 'Should I go up and check it out anyway?'" said Raul Castro, who dropped his son off to meet the bus on Thursday morning. Later that night he got a call from Adrian's mother, who said she had heard from the California Highway Patrol that the young man had died.
Rescuers said the people who were killed were mostly at the front of the bus, or outside on the ground in front of it. Most survivors were injured, some with critical burns or broken limbs.
Those who made it out said they scrambled through a kicked-out window, and the ones who could ran or staggered to the opposite side of Interstate 5 before the bus exploded and was swept by flames.
Humboldt admissions counselor Arthur Arzola, 26, who recruited for the school in the Los Angeles area, was taken to a hospital burn unit in critical condition but died overnight. Arzola was a newlywed studying to be a school counselor at the University of LaVerne in Southern California and was set to earn his graduate degree in May, LaVerne officials said.
His passion for bringing kids to Humboldt was evident on his "Meet the Counselors" webpage. In his online bio for the job, which shows him with slick hair and broad grin in the university's forest-green colors, he said the school "provides all students on campus with incredible opportunities that change the world for the better."
"There are no words during times like these that can fully express our sadness," University of La Verne President Devorah Lieberman said.
The teenagers aboard, from dozens of different Southern California high schools, were participating in a program that invites prospective low-income or first-generation college students to visit Humboldt. They were supposed to join hundreds more potential students from across California and the West for a long weekend, paired up with existing students and staying in the dorms.
Before launching the event Friday, university Vice President Peg Blake's voice broke as she asked a crowded theater for a moment of silence in honor of everyone affected by the accident.
University president Rollin Richmond says they will welcome back the accident survivors at a time of their choice.
Neither driver had been identified as of Friday night. The bus was operated by Silverado Stages Inc., which is based in the central coast city of San Luis Obispo but operates buses throughout the West.
CEO Michael Vodarsik said only that the company was "working closely with authorities" and trying to support passengers and families of the dead.
FedEx Chairman Frederick Smith, in a statement, expressed his "deepest personal sympathies and the condolences of over 300,000 other FedEx team members to everyone involved in this accident."
The CHP and the National Transportation Safety Board were investigating, but warned it could take months to conclude what happened.
Mark Rosekind, an NTSB member, said Friday that the agency would be gathering information over the next one to two weeks. He said it will review whether the stretch of California freeway where the bus was struck should have had a barrier along the median to prevent head-on collisions.
In addition, Rosekind said it will look into the health of the truck driver, the mechanics of the vehicles and whether a fire suppression system recommended but not mandated for buses would have made a difference in the crash.

barbour > belstaff in everyway
so belstaff spends ridiculous amounts on advertisement through film.
I chose the small Ashby over the 34" Bedale—the Bedale was too boxy on me (I'm 5'7") but the Ashby fitted well. They're supposed to be short jackets, but on me it fits more like the Beaufort might on someone a little taller, which I like.
With regards to sleeve length, they are slightly too long but I have found that rolling back the cuffs (they're lined in corduroy) is a nice length (shorter than my shirt sleeves, and the right length for putting in the hand-warmer pockets).

Theorizing that one could jet pack within his own internet, Dr. Qubhed led an elite group of scientists into the desert to develop a top-secret project known as Tallon Zek Times. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Dr. Qubhed prematurely stepped into the project accelerator, and vanished.
He awoke to find himself in an old post, suffering from partial lurkdom and facing a mirror username that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own message board was maintained through private mail transmissions with Al, the project observer, who appears in the form of a instant message, that only Dr. Qubhed can see and read. Trapped in the posts, Dr. Qubhed finds himself leaping from thread to thread, putting things right that once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next reply will be the link to his homepage.

Advertisement Which is best? According to Slice, the iron does well at melting cheese and keeping the crust moist but there's too much cheese loss in the process. Blow drying offers a lot of control on cheese meltage but is tiring and while using a heater creates the most uniformly delicious Lunchables pizza, it isn't exactly desirable in certain months of the year. So is there no hackable solution? Of course not!Slice wised up and used a combo cooking method of a blow dryer (for the cheese) and an iron (for the crust) to create the "pizza" you see above.

▼▲"This is the most informative work to date on its subject. Written in fluid, accessible prose and without pretense, it is also rich in personal and historical insights. The result is a book that is both beguiling and highly credible." --Phyllis Tickle, author of The Divine Hours
"This book demonstrates how embracing the lifestyle prescribed by Jesus is a realistic possibility in our present age. It also shows how countercultural Christianity can provide a needed critique of our self-centered, consumerist society." --Tony Campolo, Eastern University
"This book is a scavenger hunt into Christian history and the abandoned places of Empire where the Spirit is stirring today. It's like digging around in the dirt trying to find the pearl we buried, the pearl that is so beautiful it's worth giving up everything else in the world for." --Shane Claiborne, author of The Irresistible Revolution
"Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove is bringing things both old and new out of the great Christian storehouse! New monasticism is discovering what is always rediscovered--and always bears great life for the gospel." --Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM, Center for Action and Contemplation
Publisher Description
▼▲However, the movement doesn't mirror traditional monasteries---many members are married with children and have careers, yet they live differently, often in community in once-abandoned sections of society.
Wilson-Hartgrove founded a new monastic community and works with an alternative theological collaborative. In this book, he takes readers inside new monasticism, tracing its roots through scripture and history and illuminating its impact on the contemporary church. He identifies the key tenets of new monasticism, including:
- How monasticism is the oldest form of counter-culture in the West
- God's alternative economy and financial practices for church
- Hospitality and active peacemaking
- A model for grassroots ecumenism
- What the church offers new monasticism: stability, diversity, and structure
"Monasticism isn't about achieving some sort of individual or communal piety. It's about helping the church be the church," Wilson-Hartgrove writes. A must-read for new monastics or those considering joining the movement, this book will also appeal to 20- and 30-somethings, pastors, leaders, and those interested in the emerging church.

Hopkins, Gerard Manley, 1844–89, English poet, educated at Oxford. Entering the Roman Catholic Church in 1866 and the Jesuit novitiate in 1868, he was ordained in 1877. Upon becoming a Jesuit he burned much of his early verse and abandoned the writing of poetry. However, the sinking in 1875 of a German ship carrying five Franciscan nuns, exiles from Germany, inspired him to write one of his most impressive poems "The Wreck of the Deutschland. " Thereafter he produced his best poetry, including "God's Grandeur,""The Windhover,""The Leaden Echo," and "The Golden Echo." Since Hopkins never gave permission for the publication of his verse, his Poems, edited by his friend Robert Bridges, did not appear in print until 1918. His life was continually troubled by inner conflict, which arose, not from religious skepticism, but from an inability to give himself completely to his God. Both his poems and his letters often reflect an intense dissatisfaction with himself as a poet and as a servant of God. Though he produced a small body of work, he ranks high among English poets, and his work profoundly influenced 20th-century poetry. His verse is noted for its piercing intensity of language and its experiments in prosody. Of these experiments the most famous is "sprung rhythm," a meter in which Hopkins tried to approximate the rhythm of everyday speech.

WASHINGTON - In a spectacular fall from political prominence, former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife agreed Friday to plead guilty to federal charges growing out of what prosecutors said was a scheme to use $750,000 in campaign funds for lavish personal expenses, including a $43,000 gold watch and furs.
Federal prosecutors filed one charge of conspiracy against the former Chicago congressman and charged his ex-alderman wife, Sandra, with one count of filing false joint federal income tax returns for 2006 through 2011 that knowingly understated their income. Both agreed to plead guilty.
Both face maximum penalties of several years in prison; he also faces hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines and forfeitures. But the government did not immediately release the text of its plea agreements. Such agreements almost invariably call for prosecutors to recommend sentences below the maximum.
Jackson, son of the famed civil rights leader, entered Congress in 1995 and resigned last November. Sandi, as she's known, was a Chicago alderman but resigned last month amid the federal investigation.
Jackson, a Democrat, used campaign money to buy such things as a $43,350 Rolex watch and $9,587 worth of children's furniture, according to court papers. His wife spent $5,150 on fur capes and parkas, the document said.
"I offer no excuses for my conduct, and I fully accept my responsibility for the improper decisions and mistakes I have made," the ex-congressman said in a written statement released by his lawyers. "I want to offer my sincerest apologies ... for my errors in judgment, and while my journey is not yet complete, it is my hope that I am remembered for things that I did right."
Several messages left with Jackson's father, the voluble civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, were not returned Friday. The elder Jackson has often declined to comment about his son's health and legal woes over the past several months.
The government said, "Defendant Jesse L. Jackson Jr., willingly and knowingly, used approximately $750,000 from the campaign's accounts for personal expenses" that benefited him and his co-conspirator, who was not named in the one-count criminal information.
The prosecutors' court filing said that upon conviction, Jackson must forfeit $750,000, plus tens of thousands of dollars' worth of memorabilia items and furs.

After seeing all the pretty images by R.E.M. Video and Photography, I can't help but add Chicago to my must-see list of cities around the country. This vibrant couple totally took advantage of all the city has to offer and threw themselves one fabulous soiree! But don't just take my word for it, see for yourself, right here in the full gallery!
Click here to see the FULL wedding!
From the Bride…It was February 13th, 2011. We were on a family vacation that we had taken my parents on for their 30th anniversary. With my brothers, their girlfriends and my parents best friends… it was already the best vacation that I could ever ask for! Little did I know that Matt had a surprise up his sleeve (or in his swimming trunks) that would change my life forever…. As the first few days of the trip were filled with too much traveling and rain, the third day we woke up to a beautiful sunny day. Given my family's excitement for nice weather, the pool and of course the swim-up bar… we did just that, had fun in the sun. While Matt seemed a little quieter and calmer than usual, we didn't think too much of it. However, around 2pm the sun started to get blocked by the hotel, so we all made our way down to the beach. As I had been begging Matt to go for a walk on the beach with me since we arrived, he finally offered to take me. As we strolled the beach, we made our way to a ledge that over-looked the ocean and where the waves were literally crashing at our feet. As I sat between Matt's legs and he started talking 'deeply', he finally pulled the ring from his swim trunks and popped the question. How I did not drop the ring into the ocean, I have no idea!! I think the best part of the entire engagement was being able to share the news with my entire family immediately after it happened. While my dad was the only one that knew it was going to happen, the rest of the family was surprised and elated. Especially Luke, who was SO excited that he had to throw me in the water when I told him (not that funny). Regardless of my idiot brother, it meant the world to be able to share such a special moment with the people that I love the most. Good job Matt.

Transport to and from Denpasar Bali to airport Ngurah Rai (DPS)
Some hotels organize free transfers from the airport, but there are plenty of other options available.
Taxies: go to the ticketing booth, on the right side just after the exit, buy a fixed-fare ticket and a driver will be assigned to you. When you are on a budget, you can flag down a taxi from outside the airport. If you are a girl, or traveling alone do take a Blue Bird Taxis as they are safe and reliable.
Alternatively, you can walk outside the airport to the main street where you can flag down a bemo (local minivan). Most of the bemos in this area will be heading to Kuta and be prepared for a hot, crowded journey. Especially at night, transport options are limited, but the distance to Kuta is just a few kilometers so you could even walk it. Be sure to have a map though because you need to make a few turns but the road is busy and well lit.

I had originally reported back in April — here and here — that Montana Governor Bill Schweitzer, a Democrat, had signed into law a bill that would do the following:
(H) Signed by Governor 04/15/2009
Today, 10/01/09, marks the day that this particular bill goes into affect; naturally, as commonly believed, a lawsuit has been filed in Montana federal court validating the constitutionality of the State-based legislation (via AmmoLand.com; more research at the link; Update: the following article should read from Missoula, Montana, not Missouri):
MISSOULA, MO ––(AmmoLand.com)– The Montana Shooting Sports Association (MSSA) and the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) filed a lawsuit in federal court in Missoula today to validate the principles and terms of the Montana Firearms Freedom Act (MFFA).
The MFFA was enacted by the 2009 Montana Legislature, signed by Governor Schweitzer, and becomes effective today, Oct. 1.
Lead attorney for the plaintiffs' litigation team is Quentin Rhoades of the Missoula firm of Sullivan, Tabaracci & Rhoades, PC. The MFFA litigation team also includes other attorneys located in Montana, New York, Florida, Arizona and Washington.
"We feel very strongly that the federal government has gone way too far in attempting to regulate a lot of activity that occurs only in-state," explained MSSA President Gary Marbut. "The Montana Legislature and governor agreed with us by enacting the MFFA. It's time for Montana and her sister states to take a stand against the bullying federal government, which the Legislature and Governor have done and we are doing with this lawsuit. We welcome the support of many other states that are stepping up to the plate with their own firearms freedom acts."
"We're happy to join this lawsuit," said SAF founder Alan Gottlieb, "because we believe this issue should be decided by the courts."
The MFFA declares that any firearms made and retained in Montana are not subject to any federal authority under the power given to Congress in the U.S. Constitution to regulate "commerce … among the several states."
The MFFA relies on the Tenth Amendment and other principles to challenge Congress' commerce clause power to regulate a wide spectrum of in-state activities. This is a states' rights effort, using firearms as the object of the exercise.
The MFFA exempts Montana-made and retained firearms, firearm accessories and ammunition from federal power, saying that if these items do not cross state lines, they are strictly INTRAstate commerce, not INTERstate commerce, and not subject to federal authority.
MSSA continues to strongly urge that no Montana citizen attempt to manufacture an MFFA-covered item, even after the law takes effect today, until MSSA can prove the principles of the MFFA in court. Until the courts rule in support of the MFFA, any such manufacturer could be subject to federal criminal prosecution.
CBSNews is also reporting on this story (excerpted):
This is part of a new grassroots movement that's seeking to invoke the principle of states' rights — including states' authority to regulate firearms within their borders — to thwart what backers view as an increasingly overreaching federal government.
One of the plaintiffs is Gary Marbut, president of the Montana Shooting Sports Association. The complaint (PDF) says Marbut "wishes to manufacture and sell small arms and small arms ammunition to customers exclusively in Montana" without complying with federal laws but has been told by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives that the federal laws "continue to apply." (See related CBSNews.com story about the Obama administration's position.)
While this federalism-inspired revolt has coalesced around gun rights, the broader goal is to dust off a section of the Bill of Rights that most Americans probably have paid scant attention to: the Tenth Amendment. It says that "powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
"We feel very strongly that the federal government has gone way too far in attempting to regulate a lot of activity that occurs only in-state," said Marbut. "It's time for Montana and her sister states to take a stand against the bullying federal government, which the legislature and governor have done and we are doing with this lawsuit."
The case was filed by Quentin Rhoades of Sullivan, Tabaracci, and Rhoades in Missoula, Mont., with the support of the Second Amendment Foundation. The U.S. Justice Department, which will be defending the suit in court, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday.
Read literally, the Tenth Amendment seems to suggest that the federal government's powers are limited only to what it has been "delegated," and the U.S. Supreme Court in 1918 confirmed that the amendment "carefully reserved" some authority "to the states." That view is echoed by statements made at the time the Constitution was adopted; New Hampshire explicitly said that states kept "all powers not expressly and particularly delegated" to the federal government.
More recently, federal courts have interpreted the Tenth Amendment narrowly, in a way that justifies almost any law on grounds that it intends to regulate interstate commerce. In the 2005 case of Gonzales v. Raich, for instance, the Supreme Court ruled that a person growing marijuana for her own medicinal use could have a "substantial effect on interstate commerce." (In an pointed dissent, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote: "If Congress can regulate this under the Commerce Clause, then it can regulate virtually anything — and the federal government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers.")
But this is as much as political maneuver as it is a legal one. Even a courtroom defeat would galvanize the burgeoning federalist movement and could lead to more states adopting sovereignty and Tenth Amendmentresolutions, a trend that has been documented by the Tenth Amendment Center (and anticipated by forecasterGerald Celente). If enough state governments vote to resuscitate the Tenth Amendment, even federal courts eventually may pay attention.
On top of this, Jeff Schreiber at AmericasRight.com has posted a long but exceptionally thought-out piece on how the Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case on whether the 2nd Amendment should be applied to the States (top excerpt):
A little more than a year after the United States Supreme Court held, in District of Columbia v. Heller, that the Second Amendment preserves an individual right to keep and bear arms and in the course of doing so struck down as unconstitutional the District's strict ban on firearms, the gun battle is once again coming to the highest court in all the land.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court disclosed that it has granted certiorari and will hear McDonald v. City of Chicago, an Illinois case challenging the constitutionality of handgun laws in Chicago and nearby Oak Park. The issue at hand here is incorporation — or whether the Second Amendment will be made applicable to state and local governments.
While I absolutely refuse to predict how the Supreme Court will come down on this issue, or any issue for that matter, I personally firmly believe that the right to keep and bear armsshould be incorporated against the states, and I believe that case law, along with the sentiments and intent of our nation's founders, supports that idea.
To understand the how and why of incorporation and the Second Amendment, however, it is absolutely essential to consider the history of incorporation, the related controversies new and old, and how incorporation of the Second Amendment is a natural consequence of last year's decision in Heller.
See my complete coverage under Second Amendment and, more specifically, the Nordyke v. King case.

text: From Our 2012 Archives Depression, DNA Linked to Higher Death Risk in Bladder Cancer PatientsLatest Depression NewsTHURSDAY, Oct. 18 (HealthDay News) -- People with significant symptoms of depression and shortened telomeres -- pieces of DNA that protect the ends of chromosomes from deterioration -- are at greater risk of death from bladder cancer, new research suggests. The findings were scheduled for presentation Wednesday at the annual cancer prevention conference of the American Association for Cancer Research, in Anaheim, Calif. "We found that patients with bladder cancer with shorter telomeres and high levels of depression symptoms have a threefold increased risk for mortality," Meng Chen, an epidemiologist at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, in Houston, said in an association news release. In conducting the study, the researchers analyzed medical and psychological information on nearly 500 patients with bladder cancer. The participants' level of depression was rated on a standard scale: Patients without symptoms of depression had a score below 16 and those with a score of 16 or greater were considered depressed. Patients who scored as depressed had an average survival time of 58 months, the study found. In comparison, patients with scores below 16 had an average survival time that exceeded 200 months. Depressed patients had a 1.89 times higher risk of death from all causes than those who were not depressed. The researchers used patients' blood samples to measure the length of the their telomeres, a marker of aging that is linked to cancer. Patients with depression symptoms and short telomeres had more than a three times higher risk for death and a much shorter period of disease-free survival. Although the study authors said more research is needed to further investigate their findings, they suggested that psychological factors may play an important role in the survival of people with cancer, along with lifestyle factors that could slow the shortening of telomeres, such as exercise and weight loss. "In terms of building a prediction model for bladder cancer mortality, current models only focus on clinical variables, such as treatment and tumor stage and grade," Chen said. "Our study suggests that psychological factors and perhaps lifestyle changes could be included in this prediction model." The study found an association between depression, DNA changes and death after bladder cancer. It did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship. The data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal. -- Mary Elizabeth Dallas Copyright © 2012 HealthDay. All rights reserved.

You can decide to pay your bill manually every month or if you prefer you can set up future payments to recur on an ongoing basis. Both options are viable. It is your choice which way you would prefer to make your payments.
The online service allows you, the Belk customer, to do so much more than pay your bill in this manner. The Check Free service is a service offered by Belk whereby your credit card bill will be sent to you electronically and you will therefore not have to wait for it to arrive in the postal mail. This means it will arrive faster.
Any time you wish to take a look at your account balance you can do that. The Belk credit card payment online service never shuts its electronic doors! At the online facility you can find out how many reward points you have earned on your Belk credit card. When you shop at the Belk department store and use your credit card you earn reward points on every dollar you spend. Once your total points reach 400 you are then eligible to receive a $10 reward certificate. When you wish to redeem your points you can visit the website to do so.
It is safe, secure and efficient to make a Belk credit card payment through the virtual venue. If you wish to authorize any other people to use your account then you can do this at the site. Updating any of your personal information as well as changing your password can easily be done at the Belk website. You can also download any transactions that you must.
The most secure place you can be to make a Belk credit card payment is at home. It is never smart to login to your Belk account at a computer you are using at the public library or a computer café. Save your personal business for your home computer!
