One the new city council's first tests as the city's legislative body emerged during a public meeting regarding adjustments for the city's community development block grant plan.
One the new city council's first tests as the city's legislative body emerged during a public meeting regarding adjustments for the city's community development block grant plan.
The proposal presented by Interim City Manager Dennis Speer called for that the city amend the plan and apply all funds for a transition plan to identify and survey ADA improvements the city needed.
"We have been required to have a ADA transition plan for some years," Speer said. "If the day comes when they ask for it, they can withhold funds."
The original intent for the five-year plan grant process included $75,000 for upgrades on the building leased to the Southern Sierra Boys and Girls Club and $75,000 to develop a plan for GPAC Pocket Park, $150,000 in FY 13-14 for wheelchair ramp improvements and $150,000 for street lighting districts in FY 14-15.
The hitch: the plan had to be submitted to Kern County no later than Friday.
Speer updated the council Thursday that the county had agreed to extend the application deadline to Jan 16, 2012.
Clark said the grant funding was reliant on certain criteria such as public improvements or infrastructure related to recreational or community development plans.
Speer recommended that the plan be amended to reallocate funds earmarked for the Boys and Girls Club, the pocket park and the lighting district toward developing and implementing the city's ADA plan.
Speer explained that maintaining a street lighting district would eat through the city budget, and the pocket park was in limbo because a private entity could no longer execute any agreements.
The recommendation immediately came under fire from many Boys and Girls Club representatives.
Dennis Young, president of the board of directors of for the Boys and Girls Club, commented the need was important that they have the money.
"We're in a city building that is getting to small for our program and we would like to expand that and grounds around it," Young said.
Young said the original intent had been applying to buses for transportation, but was told it did not fall under the grant's criteria.
Club member Sawyer Chrisman said the Boys and Girls Club was essential.
"If we didn't have a Boys and Girls Club, we would have no place to go where we would talk about what happened that day," Chrisman said. "I would really like for us to improve it."
Ridgecrest resident Mike Neel took the council to task whether the city should fund the expansion using the CDBG funding.
"Limited government doesn't really seem to provide babysitting services" Neel said. "It should be community and parents providing that."
The comment drew sharp rebuttal from newly seated Councilwoman Lori Acton, who sat on the Boys and Girls Club.
"I would just like to let you know that the Boys and Girls Club is paid for by the parents that take their kids there," Acton said. "Nowhere does the government come into play at all."
Acton said the Boys and Girls Club had submitted things in the past and Kern County had turned them down and the point now was to move forward on plans the organization had.
"Our carpet is held together by duct tape in there," she said. "You don't think we can't do some rehab in there?"
Newly sworn in Mayor Dan Clark pointed out the same building conditions applied to the senior center, and the proposal moved away from the original staff recommendation.
The overall suggestion: $95,000 for the Boys and Girls Club expansion, $200,000 to rehabilitate the senior center building and $5,000 for proposed public art in certain areas of the city.
The council moved back and forth on what to consider, especially given the looming Friday deadline.
Newly seated Councilman Jim Sanders said he felt he would have hard time approving something like that.
"We really have so many things that we are behind on in this city," Sanders said. "We have massive deficits in our infrastructure."
Mayor Pro Tem Jason Patin said he was concerned they were not going along with any of staff suggestions.
"W need to make sure this doesn't come back to bite us," he said.
Acton used Measure L as an illustrative point that the city should find other funding sources to fix ADA requirements, stirring up concern from the public.
"Measure L will be a battle and a fight," Patin pointed out. While certainly within the scope of the measure's goal, some pointed out that it would be ethically unsound.
The deciding factor was summarized by new Vice Mayor Chip Holloway.
"This is just bad public policy to make a decision," Holloway said. Holloway pointed out that approving something without a clear-cut plan in hand was a gutsy move.
Thursday's Calmer Meeting
The public meeting adjourned to Thursday at 4 p.m., where city council opened up the floor once more.
The meeting in general was much calmer, but underlying issues still lingered implied uses of Measure L funds .
Acton clarified her comment from the previous night, stating she had used Measure L only as an example.
Speer informed the council and the public of the Jan. 16 application extension as well as the suggestion that county and city staffs work together.
Public comment initially touched on the misspoken comment about utilizing Measure L as an alternate source of funds for the ADA Transition Plan. Council, however, directed that public comment be kept to the CDBG application.
Ridgecrest business owner Tom Wiknich said this particular agenda item was an example of transparency.
"The only way the public know is by the agenda that comes out," Wiknich said.
Wiknich pointed out the staff's recommendation the best option given the city's need for ADA upgrades.
"I think ADA compliance should be the number one priority for the city," Wiknich said.
Young, the Boys and Girls Club board president, said he didn't care about Measure L. He insisted that CDBGs were designed specifically for what the organization was asking for.
Phil Salvatore cautioned that many disabled veterans were coached to look out for ADA violations and how to file a law suit.
In the end, both Patin and Holloway suggested follow the county suggestion that county and city staffs work together.
Sanders agreed, saying it would give more time to provide a more thorough plan.

Elyse may be a young genealogist, but she has so many great ideas for the industry. I appreciate the ideas that she shares and her enthusiasm for genealogy really shines through.
Elyse recently lost her mother and her tribute to her mother's life was beautiful and very moving.
I am really enjoying her series on USGenWeb county sites. She highlights the county sites where her own research has taken her. So far she has looked at Cattaraugus county, New York and Carter county, Tennessee. I think more bloggers should be highlighting their research counties and not just their ancestor's names.

This release presents the latest immigration statistics from Home Office administrative sources, covering quarter 2, April to June 2012.
Summary points, quarter 2 2012
(All data relate to year ending June 2012; comparisons are with previous 12 months unless indicated)
- Study (excluding student visitors), Work and Family visas issued fell 30%, 7% and 10% (to 213,836, 147,385 and 45,290), to the lowest recorded levels using comparable data available from 2005. The recent falls for work and study are likely to be partly due to policy changes, which came into effect from 2011.
- There was a 2% increase in total admissions to 106.4 million continuing the increase since the year ending September 2010 (101.4 million), and thought to reflect, to a large extent, trends in international tourism.
- There were 19,959 asylum applications, a rise of 6%. The peak number of applicants was in the year ending December 2002 (84,132).
- There were 1% more enforced removals (15,014). The number of passengers refused entry at port and who subsequently departed fell by 15% to 14,116 and total voluntary departures increased by 2% to 25,585, though retrospective checks on departures will increase this figure.
- A total of 28,242 people entered detention, an increase of 7%.

HTC inks in Android-based Tattoo
Nice, but we'd rather have Audrey...
Some people eventually regret tattoos as they age, but HTC has designed an Android-based smartphone that it hopes you'll always want about your person.
Aspects of HTC's Tattoo can be personalised
Called Tattoo, the smartphone will supposedly deliver "broad personalisation to the masses", HTC claimed, by allowing users to choose "all aspects of the phone" – right from the hardware and applications, through to content.
Running on Google's OS, it's no surprise to learn that Tattoo's applications can be installed, deleted and moved around at whim. However, buyers will also apparently be allowed to design unique covers for the handset - harking back to the days of Nokia's Xpress-on covers.
Exactly how buyers can personalise the handset's hardware remains a mystery. Are we to believe that HTC will allow you to swap out the phone's 528MHz Qualcomm processor for a 628MHz chip?
Such swap-shop options seem unlikely, because HTC's already announced the handset's hardware features.
For example, Tattoo features a 2.8in display and connectivity support including 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and HSDPA 3G at 7.2Mb/s. The phone is equipped with on-board GPS and a digital compass – as seen on the iPhone 3GS.
The 3.2Mp camera's a little sub-par these days
Mobile photography fans could be disappointed by the Tattoo's 3.2Mp camera, however. Images and media files – with the phone's supported formats including WMA and MP3 – can be stored on Micro SD memory cards, HTC added.
One thing that can't be changed is Tattoo's physical size: 106 x 55 x 14mm.
HTC's Tattoo smartphone will be available next month, with online retailer Expansys pricing the device up at £320 ($528/€366). ®

Congressional Moral Panic Over The Fact That Prostitutes Now Use Twitter
from the moral-panic-jackpot dept
Years ago, the target was Craigslist because prostitution rings used the site to advertise. The groups who organized this attack celebrated when they finally (based on no legal reason) hounded Craigslist into shutting down certain services, totally oblivious to the fact that this does absolutely nothing to stop prostitution. In fact, smart law enforcement folks realized that rather than blaming the online service providers, working with them would allow them to investigate and arrest lawbreakers. Shutting down those services doesn't lead to stopping any prostitution, it just makes it move elsewhere.
For example, after the attack on Craigslist, many just moved on to Facebook and Backpage. And, now, a breathless article in TheStreet (complete with obnoxious autoplay video! -- you have been warned) talks about the shocking fact that prostitutes also use Twitter. As if this is a surprise.
But, of course, the article comes complete with Congressional idiots grandstanding about how this is a "big problem" for Twitter:
Notified by TheStreet of its investigation that revealed that escort services were using Twitter, Rep. Chris Smith (R., N.J.) urged that Congress investigate. Smith sits on the subcommittee investigating human trafficking, which held hearings Monday on prostitution at sporting events, including this week's Super Bowl in New Jersey.Of course, the way you conduct a "crackdown" is to investigate those who are actually breaking the law: not the tools they use. But, of course, going after prostitutes is a lot less interesting than going after big famous internet companies. So guess who's getting dragged to Congress?
Addressing Ambassador-at-Large Luis CdeBaca of the U.S. State Department's office to monitor and combat human trafficking, Smith asked at the subcommittee hearing that he speak to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to initiate a crackdown on Twitter, Backpage, Craigslist and other social media "that are the conduit for this terrible exploitation of women."
Following that meeting, Smith, who serves as chair of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights and International Organizations, said he plans to convene a House of Representatives subcommittee hearing later this year, and intends to ask Twitter executives to testify on Capitol Hill to address the issue.Much of the ridiculous TheStreet article focuses on the fact that they're shocked (shocked!) that Twitter hasn't magically found all of the prostitutes using Twitter and killed their accounts. Because, apparently, TheStreet reporter Jonathan Marino thinks that Twitter has staffers who sort through the profiles of all ~700 million active Twitter account holders and can tell which ones are prostitutes and which are not.
"I'm going to look at putting together a hearing to focus on Twitter," Smith said. "We'll look to do a hearing very soon."

Cambridge, Mass. – MIT scored a 201-99 victory over Springfield College and a 215-85 win over Coast Guard at the Zesiger Pool on Sunday in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) tri-meet. MIT swept their weekend of events and remains with an unblemished ledger this season.
Joanna Yeh won four events en route to being named the NEWMAC women's swimmer of the week. The freshman took the 200 yard butterfly in 2:11.43, the 100 yard freestyle in 53.95, and the 100 yard fly in 59.19. She was then part of the MIT team that took first in the 400 yard freestyle relay, in a time of 3:38.61.
Senior Beth Stavely had a strong showing on the diving boards for Tech, making two NCAA cuts along the way. Stavely won the 1 meter diving competition with a score of 302, then took second place on the three meter board with a score of 284.25.
The MIT 'A' squad of Elina Hu, Katie Creasey, Calley Murphy and Christy Rogers kicked off the meet with a win in the 200 yard medley relay, in a time of 1:50.30.
After dropping first-place points to Springfield College in the 200 yard freestyle, Tech came back and won the next three events. Christy Rogers won the 100 yard backstroke in 59.80 and Calley Murphy won the 100 yard breaststroke in 1:08.38 before Yeh took the 200 yard fly. Katelyn Rossick was victorious in the 200 yard backstroke in 2:09.96 and Morganne Klein won the 200 yard breast with a time of 2:27.94.
Rossick, a freshman, won her second individual event in the 200 yard IM, in 2:12.69.
In the final head to head competition, Springfield beat Coast Guard by a score of 184.5 to 115.5.
MIT will honor their seniors next Saturday, January 22nd at their final meet of the season. The Engineers will host Tufts University starting at 1:00 PM.

Shelby Cunningham just couldn't wait any longer.
As former Lipscomb basketball standout Adnan Hodzic spoke to those in attendance at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes meeting Cunningham felt an increasing need to step forward and express her desire to be baptized.
"I got chills," Cunningham said. "I was breathing hard. My heart was just pounding.
"It was like God telling me you can't wait anymore…you have got to do this."
Hodzic said several things that struck a chord with Cunningham, but one thing truly stood out for her.
"Adnan told us he had broken down and was crying over the Bible," Cunningham said. "I could relate to him. One night I was in bed, getting ready to go to sleep, and I started crying for no apparent reason.
"I had an overwhelming feeling. I got the Bible out and said, 'God show me something'. I didn't know where to look but he showed me Psalms 29 about David which basically said, 'help me Lord'. Obviously, it was what God wanted me to see."
After Hodzic's talk Cunningham approached Brent High, Associate Athletic Director for Spiritual Formation, and told him she wanted to know more. A few days later they discussed various verses of the Bible and Cunningham decided she was making the right decision at the right time."
Cunningham, who is redshirting this year due to a shoulder injury, was baptized Jan. 21. She is the fourth member of the softball team to be baptized during this academic year and 10th athlete overall. Three of her teammates – Vanessa Medina, Ashley Anderson and Kristen Sturdivant – were baptized in December.
"We all have a really good connection," Cunningham said. "I think we understand that there is a lot of emphasis on softball, but there is a bigger picture out there. In the end God is going to be No. 1."
Lady Bison softball coach Kristin Ryman appreciates the togetherness of the players this season both on and off of the field. She looks at the baptisms as a positive example of players interacting with their teammates.
"It is something that has kind of come about because they do have a good relationship with each other," Ryman said. "They can talk openly about their faith.
"It does bring people closer. It brings a maturity level to our team."
Catcher Mollie Mitchell and pitcher Whitney Kiihnl, both seniors, have been the spiritual leaders of the team.
"Mollie and Whitney feel confident enough in themselves to step out and do team devotionals and team Bible studies," Ryman said. "I definitely think that was the base for these girls. They saw other girls openly sharing things about themselves from a religious standpoint and a spiritual standpoint.
"Mollie and Whitney have never said 'Hey, everybody has to come'. They have opened it up and said this is what we are going to do if anybody wants to come. Another thing I think is cool is that every time they do it they end up having nearly everybody there. That, too, says something."
Ryman has seen the spiritual aspect of the team progress, especially over the last two years.
Players good enough to perform on the NCAA Division I level make sacrifices in terms of their time as they progress through high school seasons followed by summers filled with club team travel. Most games are on the road, and if the team is good enough, Sunday is reserved for championship games.
"These girls all have some sort of church background," Ryman said. "You try to do the best you can with it and keep your priorities in line."
Ryman thinks the spiritual emphasis that Lipscomb offers to students helps to make the softball program more attractive to recruits.
"Once they get here it is not thrown in their faces as much as it is there for the taking," Ryman said. "I think they each come to Lipscomb for a different reason, but probably one reason on their minds is that they are going to be around great people every day.
"They have a chance to be in an environment where people genuinely really care and want to help them. They can talk about God in their classes and in their dorms. They can openly pray and it is not odd or different. That's pretty cool to have at this level and at this stage of their lives."
Accountability and discipline are part of most college teams. But at Lipscomb the emphasis is a little stronger in many ways.
"Any time you are around a team there has to be responsibility for yourself and looking out for your teammates," Ryman said. "We want them to help each other make good decisions and not getting wrapped up in things we know should not be our priorities.
"As coaches we try to be good influences for them. I watch how I talk to them. I watch what I do away from here. If we are preaching everyday to them to watch what they do then we need to show them we are on board."
The Lady Bison are poised to make a run at the Atlantic Sun Conference title this season. They open the regular season on the road at the Mardi Gras Tournament in Mobile, Ala., Feb. 10-12.
"We know that the things that are important to you as a coach in your life and what you want to be important in your program really matters to your players," Ryman said. "We have kind of reached that point with this group.
"For the ones who aren't quite there I think it works on their hearts every day. It makes them think that much more about the direction of their lives and how big of a role they want Lipscomb and our team to play in their lives."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Bill Taylor, Lipscomb's director of cross country and track and field, has announced the hiring of Peter Dalton as an assistant coach for the programs.
"We are really excited to add Peter to our staff," Taylor said. "We went through a very lengthy and thorough interview process, and had excellent candidates. Because our candidates were so good, it was a tough choice. However, Peter rose to the top of that list."
Dalton said the direction of the program is what drew him to Lipscomb.
"Coach Taylor's vision for the program was very impressive," Dalton said. "The progression of all areas of the program during his tenure demonstrated the potential and success ahead."
Dalton is no stranger to success during his time as the head coach at King University for both cross country and track and field. Dalton helped guide the Tornado through the transition into NCAA Division II. He guided the women's cross country squad to the 2010 NCAA Championships, the first year King was a member of the NCAA.
"As a coach, Peter has worked in small Christian environments, with limited resources, and has produced great results," Taylor said. "He is going to have access to more resources than ever before and I expect he is going to be even more successful."
Between both the men's and women's teams, King University garnered four Conference Carolinas championships, three runner-up finishes and three conference Carolinas Scholar Athletes of the Year under Dalton's watch. As a coach, he has garnered four conference coach of the year honors and was named the 2013 NCAA Division II Southeast Region Women's Indoor Track and Field Coach of the Year.
"I've been humbled and fortunate to lead many great student-athletes and teams that have thought of me so much," Dalton said. "Coach of the year awards are always nice, but the great student-athletes and coaching staff that I have had the privilege of sharing this experience with have taught me a lot of valuable lessons."
In 2010 the women's cross country team posted the highest GPA in all of NCAA Division II with a 3.7 GPA.
"Like our program, his teams have been among the best in the nation academically," Taylor said. "He recruits on character and fit.
"Peter has a passion and is ready to move to the Division I level. Although he will help me with all of our distance athletes, he will spend a lot of time helping the men's distance program. This is really important, in that we have 30 distance women and 30 distance men on our team. We really needed extra help to give our athletes the attention they need and deserve as the program moves forward."
Dalton spent five years at King as the head coach of the cross country squads and added the title of head coach for track and field two years ago. He also has experience as an assistant coach at Milligan College.
He received his bachelor's degree in psychology from ETSU where he was a cross country and track and field athlete. He was a two-year captain and helped lead the Buccaneers to the Atlantic Sun Conference Indoor Championship.
"Most importantly, Peter has great character, understands and wants to be in the strong Christian environment we have at Lipscomb," Taylor said. "He will do an incredible job at everything we ask him to do.
"I am really looking forward to working with Peter as we continue to build a national power here at Lipscomb in every way."

Isn't it nice when progress is easy?
Poorly located sandwich boards, aka A-frames, next to businesses have always been an annoyance for many pedestrians. They force us to walk around them, they sometimes narrow sidewalks to single-file, they can be tripped over, and in some places they're clutter.
I've taken to moving many of the worst ones to the side, sometimes day after day, hoping that the owners will get the message. That doesn't work very well, though it solves the problem momentarily and is satisfying.
Lo and behold, there's an easier way. SDOT will come to the rescue upon request. With great effect.
The signs are rarely legal, according to this City web page. "Currently, A-frame signs are illegal except in a City-approved district that has obtained a street use permit to allow and regulate A-frame signs (see BIA)." These districts, where A-frames still face strict rules, are Pioneer Square, Broadway, and the Pike Place Market. A City web page about sidewalk cafes says that even legal A-frames must provide six feet of clear space past seating areas.
I've talked to some businesses directly, whether they storm out their doors indignant about "property rights" (this has come up twice, related to poor education presumably), or because I contact them. Sometimes they agree to keep the signs along the curb out of the way. Other times they don't.
That's when it's time to contact SDOT. They regulate signs upon complaint. Just call (206) 684-5267 and leave a message with the address and business name.
I don't know what they tell the offending businesses, but it works! A few days after a recent complaint about two businesses, both signs went to the side out of the way of pedestrians, and they haven't offended again. SDOT appears to be enforcing the spirit of the law rather than the letter. I support the enforcement-as-appropriate approach.
There's a legal side to this. I'm no lawyer, but if someone trips on a sign the City was warned about, shouldn't the City be liable if it didn't crack down, and the business be liable if it ignored a City request? Isn't the business liable regardless? (Any lawyers want to clarify that?) Since liability law is often an excuse to shaft pedestrians (light poles three feet from curbs, crosswalk markings taken away, overly wide streets), it's nice if the same system helps us occasionally. If the sign is a potential tripping hazard in your opinion, the City will enforce the law to protect itself from costly judgments.
On another tangent, some business owners complain that moving signs hurts business. Maybe that's true for them personally, but overall, we'll all buy the same amount of stuff. If the signs have an effect, it's to move some sales from some businesses to others. Basically illegal signs move sales from complying businesses to non-complying ones. Moving the signs should even the playing field for the good guys.
Now it's time to try the same thing with parking lot signs. King County's parcel viewer is good for identifying absentee owners, which could expedite the process for SDOT…


text: Yeah, I don't know what's up with the zip file, particularly on PC. I thought it was something weird with my config, but if others are having the download/extract problem, then something else is up. I actually had to unzip it on my Mac, then transport the files over my network to my PC. Ridiculous.I have to be honest, I've all but given up on the Seeed board. It wasted so much time. I spent several hours trying to get it to work from my MacBook. All I ever got was MP3 playback. Then another several hours on my PC - hoping that a completely new Arduino IDE environment would help. I followed all of their instructions (as best I could - they are terribly written). I could still get nothing more than the MP3 playback, no reliable WAV. But experience with some other boards - like Rugged Shield - shows that my WAVs may have some meta data that these shields don't like, so I might go back to that.http://www.shivasongster.com/2013/03/rugged-audio-shield/If you like I can send you what I have for the Seeed via Dropbox.

We're available 24/7 to discuss treatment options.
Making an educated treatment decision begins with the stage, or progression, of the disease. The stage of stomach cancer is one of the most important factors in evaluating treatment options.
Our cancer doctors use a variety of diagnostic tests to evaluate stomach cancer and develop an individualized treatment plan. If you have been recently diagnosed, we will review your pathology to confirm you have received the correct diagnosis and staging information, and develop a personalized treatment plan. If you have a recurrence, we will perform comprehensive testing and identify a treatment approach that is suited to your needs.
The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) developed the TNM staging system for evaluating the extent and spread of stomach cancer. The staging process is a basis for selecting treatment options and helping doctors communicate potential outcomes (prognosis). The TNM system considers three important factors:
Each of these categories are rated on a numbered scale, the higher the number indicates increased severity. These categories are then grouped into stomach cancer stages from 0-IV.
We understand you may be feeling overwhelmed with questions and concerns about your type of cancer and what it all means. We're here to help guide you through the process.
Our team of cancer experts uses advanced, minimally invasive diagnostic technology to detect cancerous cells anywhere in the body.

Bob Woodward
American journalist
Robert Upshur "Bob" Woodward (born March 26, 1943) is one of the best-known journalists in the United States, thanks largely to his work in helping uncover the Watergate scandal that led to President Richard Nixon's resignation, in a historical partnership with Carl Bernstein, while working as a reporter for The Washington Post. He has written twelve best-selling nonfiction books and has twice contributed reporting to efforts that collectively earned the Post and its National Reporting staff a Pulitzer Prize.
- In Haig's presence, Kissinger referred pointedly to military men as "dumb, stupid animals to be used" as pawns for foreign policy.
- Woodward and Bernstein. The Final Days, chapter 14 (1976)
- All good work is done in defiance of management.
- CBS News' 20th-anniversary Watergate documentary (1994)
Post Reporter's Pulitzer Prize Is Withdrawn; Pulitzer Board Withdraws Post Reporter's Prize (19 April 1981)Edit
The Washington Post, by William Green (19 April 1981) [1]
- I think that the decision to nominate the story for a Pulitzer is of minimal consequence. I also think that it won is of little consequence. It is a brilliant story — fake and fraud that it is.
- It would be absurd for me or any other editor to review the authenticity or accuracy of stories that are nominated for prizes.
- I believed it, we published it. Official questions had been raised, but we stood by the story and her. Internal questions had been raised, but none about her other work. The reports were about the story not sounding right, being based on anonymous sources, and primarily about purported lies [about] her personal life -- [told by men reporters], two she had dated and one who felt in close competition with her."
- If so, our posture would be as follows: we published the story and said it was true, but now we are going to nominate it for a Pulitzer — now that's serious business.
- I don't believe you on the 'Jimmy' story. No, I don't, and I'm going to prove it if it's the last thing I do.
- "It's all over," he said to Cooke. "You've got to come clean. The notes show us the story is wrong. We know it. We can show you point by point how you concocted it."

With poplar and some local branches, I made this gnome home and some additional cut pieces. Now, only a child's imaginative play is needed to bring stories of gentle country gnomes and playful forest elves to life. While working on a Shakespeare play for my seventh grade students, I came across a fitting excerpt from Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream:
Through the house give glimmering light
By the dead drowsy fire:
Every elf and fairy sprite
Hop as light as bird from brier:
And this ditty after me
Sing, and dance it trippingly.
First, rehearse your song by rote,
To each word a warbling note;
Hand in hand, with fairy grace,
Will we sing, and bless this place.

Your City of Redmond water rates are comprised of fixed charges and commodity charges. It is important to note that water rates will fluctuate, particularly in the summer months, due to increased outdoor water use.
Your water supply comes from wells and water purchased from Cascade Water Alliance. Water from both sources is treated with chlorine and fluoride and is tested for quality on a daily basis. Your water has been fluoridated at a rate of one part per million.
Maintenance and construction of the local sewage collection system is paid through your city wastewater charge. The sewer collection system transports sewage from your home to a King County Wastewater Treatment facility.
King County is the regional provider for wastewater treatment and disposal. Maintenance costs for this collection system are paid by a separate wastewater treatment charge on your bill.
Each developed parcel in the City is subject to the stormwater utility charge. Drainage from most properties enters or impacts the City stormwater system in some manner. These facilities, which are generally located on City streets, require continual maintenance and improvement. The stormwater utility supports capital improvement projects for flood control, erosion, conveyance improvements, and regional water quality or detention facilities.

The head of YMCA NSW has resigned just weeks before the royal commission into child sexual abuse hands down its report into the organisation.
The YMCA NSW board of directors announced the resignation of CEO Phillip Hare on Monday.
Mr Hare had been with the "Y" for 25 years and had spent eight years in the NSW top job.
His resignation comes just weeks before the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse is expected to hand down its findings into how the country's largest child-care organisation let a pedophile operate unchecked at a centre in south Sydney.
Jonathan Lord was sentenced in January 2013 to 10 years in jail with a six-year non-parole period for offences against 12 boys at the child-care centre in Caringbah over a two-year period.
In December, counsel advising the commission Gail Furness was fiercely critical of YMCA NSW and said it was not a child-safe organisation - and was unlikely to be under current senior management.
Ms Furness said evidence given by Mr Hare and the general manager of children's services Liam Whitely during a two-week hearing raised serious questions about whether they were "fit and proper" people to oversee an organisation responsible for looking after children.
She also said the evidence given by senior and middle management as to the extent to which they accepted responsibility did not "permit confidence in their capacity to carry out the significant reforms necessary to make YMCA NSW a child-safe institution".
At the December hearing, the YMCA disputed Ms Furness's proposed finding but agreed to accept a recommendation the YMCA consider whether Mr Hare and Mr Whitely should hold positions overseeing the care and protection of children.
In his resignation letter published by the ABC on Monday, Mr Hare said it was time for a change of leadership and he was resigning after consultation with the board.
David Mayes, president of the YMCA NSW board, said in a statement they were "thankful for Phil's leadership over the past eight years as the organisation has grown and evolved".
He also announced that director Sarah Hawthorn has taken a leave of absence from the board and had been named as the acting CEO while the board conducts a search for a new CEO.
The YMCA response to the Lord case was the second public hearing of the child abuse royal commission.
The commission has already released its findings on its first case study and is expected to publish final findings on the YMCA NSW in the coming weeks.

tanknot.com needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 18 designs submitted by 5 freelance designers.
restaurant owners. when the water heater leaks, we want them to call us and put in a tankless instead of the old tank.
For those artists who entered last time, I a sorry. I did not provide feedback. I realized that the cartoon I supplied did not fit in at all, and so I have eliminated it.
The attached prototype has the elements of what I want. I would like to project the image of engineering, precision, integrity, professionalism and reliability. Also, the sticker should stand out (with some colors) from the stickers already on the tanks (there ususally are some. see sample tank pic included). The approxmiate dimesions are 6" wide by 10" high. Irregular shapes are ok.
Please contact me if you have any more design guideline inquiries. Good luck, and I look forward to your submissions.

Using pulseaudio in combination with alsa is already more power efficient and avoids many interrupts on current systems. In my experience the interrupts created by hda_intel decreased from 60-80 down to 6 per second. The sleep residency increased from about 3 ms to about 8 ms. This already makes a difference of about .25 Watts. I wonder if and how the difference will be with the new patches that went into 2.6.38, disabling even more interrupts.
Update: Also check how to save 0.4 Watts and more with pulseaudio and alsa.

Loving God
{ Day 19 }
God called to him from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!" And Moses said, "Here I am." "Do not come any closer," God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." Then he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God. —Exodus 3:4-6
In Old Testament times, whenever God appeared to men, an overwhelming sense of terror and dread was the result. In contrast, many in our day are so blind to God's transcendence that they show shocking disregard for Him. If people are unaware of God's terrifying supremacy that transcends the universe and time itself, they will have little fear of Him. If we have no fear of God, nor the fear of consequences, then we will easily break His commands.
Father God, I stand in awe of Your power and might. Teach me to have a holy, reverential fear of Your glory so that my life will be lived in purity and holiness.
The downward spiral of morality in our society is directly
proportional to the loss of our understanding
of the greatness of God.

Not to mention, Inner Moka also said ... in the previous chapter, that defeating Gyokuro is only the beginning of creating a world, where ayashi and humans can coexist - I doubt that they can create this world, without fighting the ayashi that are opposed to this idea - and the Masked King is almost certainly going to belong to this "opposing side".
Also in a interview, with Ikeda that was found some time ago, it was implied that there will be a third season (or third year) and I doubt that Tsukune's third year at the Youkai Academy isn't going to involve any fighting.
Another thing, that suggests that some fighting is going to take place, in the future arc's, is the fact that Kuyou hasn't been "killed" during his rematch with Tsukune, which - considering how obsessed Kuyou is, in "defeating" Tsukune - definitely suggests that, another confrontation between them, might take place ... in the future.

Since, I doubt that the author would reveal this, if it wouldn't be actually used to resolve the Alucard problem.
I doubt that Tsukune or anyone else - well, maybe apart from Outer Moka - is going to need to sacrifice himself to resolve the Alucard problem.
As for Gyokuro being devoured by Alucard ... as long as the Rosario is in her possession, that won't happen - although, I agree that it's possible that the Rosario is going to be taken away from her, during her fight with Inner Moka.

although i hope outer Moka does return back to normal with the rosario, i can think of an acceptable personality meld for inner moka being used. the outer appearance wont change though outer's personalities whould show up sometimes given she was wearing the rosario for 10 yrs?? or so. it may be that the outer Moka was destined to be merged with the inner Moka.
im not really put off that she's not traditional as theres a good balance of old and new. holy items if blessed properly could serve a limiter thought the concept is still a bit strange for a calibrated cross only limit her full powers of a shinso.
i believe R+V did try to be as traditional in charactersistics in the start but adapted it to the arc ie beach arcs. its those particular full sun sparkly skin vamps which i cant stand a bit as they are too perfect (if you can say that.)

After all, in the last few chapters Inner Moka has definitely changed, she's a lot more open to show her actual emotions (the chapter, where the fight between Gyokuro and Tsukune took place, is the one that shows that, pretty well), has a lot more compassion for others, and is definitely less tsun tsun and more dere.
Of course, those changes could be explained as Inner Moka finally breaking her cold exterior, and starting to show her actual "true" personality - but another possible explanation is that "the current Moka" is already a "merged" version of Inner and Outer Moka's personality traits.

The reason why I think like that, (which, I said a few pages ago, in this thread) is due to the whole incident with the human modification ritual, where Tsukune's "Ghoul" side awakened, along with a portion of Alucard's blood, but he still managed to retain his sanity, despite that.
Of course, there are some differences between the current incident, and what happened during the human modification ritual, which might mean, that Tsukune might still need some minor "adjustments", even after Alucard is going to be resealed, but overall I don't think that Tsukune's current situation is as dangerous as the manga portrays it.

Trump aide Boris Epshteyn leaving White House, officials say
Trump aide Boris Epshteyn leaving White House, officials say
Boris Epshteyn, a special assistant to President Donald Trump who leads the White House's television surrogate operations, is expected to leave the White House, potentially for a position outside the West Wing, two senior administration officials have told CNN.
A senior administration official confirmed Epshteyn's expected departure, saying, "We are exploring opportunities within the administration."
Epshteyn, who was a campaign surrogate himself, declined to comment when contacted by phone.
Epshteyn was also director of communications for Trump's Presidential Inaugural Committee. He gained a reputation in recent months for his testy demeanor and gruff personality in his dealings with national TV news networks.

Federal Budget Outlays, 1971-1980 [United States] (ICPSR 8199)
Version Date: Jan 12, 2006 View help for published
Principal Investigator(s): View help for Principal Investigator(s)
Thomas Anton, Unknown
Version V1
Summary View help for Summary
This collection contains expenditure data for the 150 largest United States federal government programs, which make up close to 90 percent of total federal spending. The source of information on federal funding activity is the GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF FEDERAL FUNDS (GDFF) series, published annually from 1968-1980 by the Federal Information Exchange System, a component of the Community Services Administration (CSA). The files released here have been further processed by the Intergovernmental Fiscal Analysis Project (at the University of Michigan) and the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), as part of an effort to develop a comprehensive database for monitoring and analyzing the distribution of federal funding in the United States. The files differ not only by units of analysis, but also by what the variables measure. There are three kinds of variables: (1) dollar amount of program expenditures, (2) amount expended per capita, and (3) percent of total federal funds spent on programs in geographic areas. In Part 1, Expenditures by State, the geographic region is the unit of analysis, and data cover the 50 states, the District of Columbia, census regions and divisions, and the nation as a whole. The variables are dollar amounts rounded off to thousands for each of 150 programs measured at 11 time points (10 years plus a transition quarter). In Part 2, Per Capita Expenditures by State, per capita expenditures (rounded off to thousands) for the top 150 federal programs are measured at 11 time points. For Part 3, Percent Concentration of Expenditures by State, percent concentration figures (which are equivalent to state share of total national program expenditures for the top 150 programs) are measured at 11 time points. In Part 4, Dollar Expenditures by State by Year, the record units are geographic units (the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and census regions) by time point. This file contains dollar expenditures (rounded off to thousands) for the top 150 programs. For Part 5, Per Capita by State by Year, the variables are per capita expenditures rounded off to thousands. In Part 6, Percent Concentration by State by Year, the variables are percent concentration figures (equivalent to state shares of total national program expenditures). In Part 7, Dollar Expenditures (Unit Is Program) for Each State by Year, the federal program is the unit of analysis and variables describe program characteristics, including type of recipient, House committee jurisdiction, hard dollars vs. soft dollars, appropriation account number, program name, type of assistance, and type of recipient. The remaining variables describe the program expenditures for each of 11 time points for 66 geographic units. For Part 8, Per Capita Expenditures (Unit Is Program) for Each State by Year, variables include per capita expenditures on the program for the 66 geographic units measured at 11 time points. For Part 9, Percent Concentration (Unit Is Program) for Each State by Year, variables include percent concentration of expenditures (share of the total federal expenditure for the geographic unit) for 66 states/regions for 11 time points.

How Not To Make Music Social: The Way Spotify And Facebook Did It
from the massively-lame dept
It turns out that Spotify just starts sharing everything you play on Facebook, without even making it clear to the user that it's doing that. I couldn't find that info on my own profile. It was only after I asked a question and a Facebook friend told me what I was listening to that I knew the info was being shared. Even worse, how to turn it off is not clear at all either. Thankfully Lifehacker explains how to stop spamming everyone with what you're playing on Spotify. You can do so by unchecking the following box, which makes no sense at all:
Again, I'd have no problem sharing some of what I listen to if I have control over it. But, really, are any of my friends really going to want to know when I play the "lullaby playlist" I put together for my son? There are some friends with whom I have no problem sharing what I'm listening to, but plenty of others where it's just not something I'd share with them at all. And perhaps there are hidden controls buried in the preferences somewhere, but it's not at all clear, which leads me to now totally distrust Spotify and Facebook. Facebook I was already on the fence about, but I liked Spotify (and pay for a subscription). If these companies can't even get the basics right concerning how I can share my info, I'm going to have to look elsewhere. It's amazing how quickly a company can destroy a ton of goodwill.

my opinion would be to Team CC and get to actively advertising and pursuing members to join up and fill it up.
It seems that you are waiting till it has the full 640 and those that already entered may not be as likely to join the next one due to the wait
with over $3000 collected It only makes good business sense to get active on keeping it moving
a good business that profits $1k 12 times a year vs a business that profits $3k only 3 times a year seems to be a better business
You should keep into account, that the more often it's organized, the less special it'll be.

Curious about the next Nexus on the technical level? If so, you're in for a treat. What's supposedly a draft of the official LG service manual for the next Nexus has been posted online. It's a 281 page document, filled with troubleshooting materials, circuit schematics and pinouts, but it does have a couple really interesting things hidden inside.
First of all, the line drawing (seen above) gives us the complete look at the overall device design. Picture the G2, with some minor cosmetic changes and no weird button placement. The back of the unit is also pictured, and it matches up well with some previously leaked images and looks similar to the Nexus 7 from a materials stand point. But most important to many Nexus fans are the specs, which we can glean from the document.
- 4.95-inch 1080p IPS LCD
- Snapdragon 800 quad-core CPU (MSM8947) at 2.3GHz
- 32GB storage
- Wireless charging
- 8MP rear camera with OIS; 1.3MP front camera
- 2300mAh battery
- Accelerometer; ambient light sensor; Compass; Gyroscope; Proximity; Pressure sensors
- HDMI out via Slimport
- Notification LED
- NFC; Bluetooth 3 (?); A-GPS; 802.11 b/g/n wifi
It is worth noting that this is a draft, and of course it could be an elaborate hoax. Some glaring errors are present (page 8 and page 11 give conflicting info about Bluetooth specs for starters), but it sure is some juicy juice to pore through on a Saturday night. You'll find the complete doc embedded after the break.
Via: Android Police
Update: Unfortunately, the manual has been taken down at the request of LG and so we have removed the PDF viewer.

Kevin Harvick beats Kasey Kahne on final restart to win 2nd Coca-Cola 600 in 3 years
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
CONCORD, N.C. – Kevin Harvick pulled away from Kasey Kahne on a restart with 11 laps left to win the Coca-Cola 600 for the second time in three seasons, a race stopped nearly 30 minutes Sunday night when a TV camera support rope snapped.
Kahne led 156 laps and appeared to have the strongest machine in NASCAR's longest race. But Harvick took the low line following the last of 11 cautions and slowly pulled away.
Harvick won two years ago when Dale Earnhardt Jr. ran out of gas 700 feet from the finish line.
Kahne finished second, Kurt Busch third and polesitter Denny Hamlin was fourth in his second full race since returning from injury.
There were 10 people injured when the rope collapsed. Three were taken to hospitals with non-life threatening injuries.

Chanel's Spring makeup line for 2013 is set to be released this week (exactly when depends on where about you live) and in my humble opinion it looks absolutely beautiful!
True to the brand, it features classic colours such as pink and red polishes and frosted lipsticks in neutral shades as far as the eye can see. What am I most excited about? The highlighting face powder which is exquisitely embossed with an elegant design.
Chanel makeup is known for being luxurious and high quality, which I'm sure will be the case with this collection!
Let me know what makeup brand you like and which products you're excited to try :)

Romelu Lukaku's agent believes it is too soon to tell if the striker has a future at Chelsea.
Lukaku, who is 21 next week, moved to Stamford Bridge from Anderlecht in August 2011 in a reported £20million deal and has spent the last two seasons on loan - at West Brom and Everton, where he has scored 17 goals this term.
It emerged earlier this season that Lukaku had asked to leave Stamford Bridge permanently, resulting in Jose Mourinho compromising and sending Lukaku to Goodison Park, where he could end up on a permanent basis, depending on the wishes of Chelsea.
Lukaku's agent Christope Henrotay told the Evening Standard: "For the moment, Romelu belongs to Chelsea.
"He has two years left on his contract. It's going to depend on Chelsea.
"After that, we'll see together what the best options are if Chelsea decide to let him go.
"That they want to bring in a big-name striker has been well-documented.
