This month my brother, Luke Nichols and his lovely wife Becca, came to visit and during one of several interesting conversations we had he spoke of his experiences as a criminal defense attorney in the Washington D.C. area.
Through his work he's seen some of the consequences of teenagers sexting (and if you don't know what sexting is, just ask any teen) and he has volunteered time at youth centers to warn teens of the dangers they face when the law gets involved.
You may already know of the dangers this new phenomenon poses to the morality of our children and society but you ought also to know of the legal dangers children face if caught--and if they have a cell phone I can pretty much guarantee you that they've have experience in the area already.
Luke joins us as a guest poster and legal opinion on the subject and you can read more about sexting on his website at Spectrum Legal Defense.
P.S. Don't let the picture distract you--I just wanted a picture of Luke and this one of Lillian and him goofing it up and celebrating their fishing success cracks me up.
What Is Sexting?
While the moral, psychological, and religious implications of sexting deserves their own discussion, I am a criminal defense attorney and what I am qualified to tell you is 1) that sexting is rampant and 2) sexting can land a child in prison for years.
Sexting, or sexual texting, is an epidemic that involves using the internet and usually camera phones to share sexually explicit photos, text, and video. While not all youths are willful participants in this seedy conduct, the popularity of camera phones now means that nearly all young people are exposed to sexting whether they like it or not.
Legally speaking, the problem is that sexting is the wholesale production and distribution of child pornography within our homes and schools. When a fourteen year-old boy takes picture of his thirteen year-old girlfriend's breast he has committed felony production of child pornography and the separate felony of possession of child pornography. If that young man or any of his friends display, copy, or share that image then they are guilty of a third felony, distribution of child pornography. If that boy or anyone else requested or enticed the minor to expose her breasts he may also be guilty of aggravated sexual battery or felony child molestation among other crimes.
While each state is different, there are few places in the US were child pornography and other sex crimes against minors are not ruthlessly punished and prosecuted. Parents should also keep in mind that because the internet crosses state lines child pornography is frequently prosecuted in federal courts as a federal crime.
In some states, the maximum punishment for just production of child pornography is 30 years in an adult prison facility. What is more onerous, in many states each photo can result in a separate charge, so that a young man or woman who takes multiple photos will be charged with multiple counts of production, possession, and distribution.
One of my more recent juvenile clients was caught with twelve pictures of his naked seventeen year-old girlfriend. He was charged will twelve counts of possession of child pornography and faces up to sixty years in jail.
So How Big of a Deal Is It?
The mistake that most adults make is that they do not realize how serious these crimes are. The first sexting case I ever worked on involved a seventeen year-old boy who used his camera phone to take a video of his naked thirteen year little brother and friend during a hazing prank. Even though the boys willingly went along with the hazing and even though my client was not accused of intending anything sexual (just humiliation) my client was charged with two counts of aggravated sexual battery for enticing two minors to take their clothes off, one count of production of child pornography, one count of possession, and one count of distribution after he showed the video to his friends.
Those charges allowed the court to try the young man as an adult and carried a maximum penalty of 104 years in prison and a mandatory minimum of 15 years in prison. The boy was fortunately only found guilty of some of the charges and was sentenced to 3 years in prison.
But My Kid Doesn't Sext . . .
What I find so disturbing about sexting is just how common it is, yet the only adults who seem to understand this are the police and prosecutors. One recent trial for possession of child pornography involved a young man in his late teens. The police were chatting with this young man when the officers asked to see his cell phone. The officers searched the phone and discovered a naked photo of the teen's seventeen year-old girlfriend. When I asked the officer why he searched his phone the officer looked at me like I was an idiot and said "All teenagers have naked photos of their girlfriends on their cell phone."
While the officer's statement is somewhat of an overstatement, I have since discovered that he was not far off the mark. In the last year, I have since started speaking with high school students and teen intervention groups about the dangers of sexting and I have consistently found the practice of sexting utterly unchecked by adults. Every time I speak at a school about sexting, without fail many of the young men laugh or brag about the practice openly in front of their teachers or supervisors and almost none of the youth are unfamiliar with it. Getting a naked photo of a girl is simply "first base" for too many young men now days.
While the girls' attitudes about sexting are not usually so cocky or jovial they are equally as exposed to the practice. In the short time I have been speaking to youths I have heard too many accounts of young girls being forcibly exposed and photographed by young men with camera phones at school. Often, these girls have said nothing about these attacks because, like the young men, they think that shoving a camera phone up a girl's skirt and posting it on the web is a mean prank not a felony.
Many of the youths I speak to are good kids who feel no attraction to sexting, but they are still exposed to it. With a few clicks their friends and often distant acquaintances send them dirty photos. Naked photos of fellow class mates are now the new medium for youths to boast about their conquests or to humiliate and shame one another. While certain girls in my high school did things in private for attention, similar young women of this generation can garnish the wrong kind of attention from hundreds of boys with a camera phone and 30 seconds.
Few teenagers today have not been exposed to child pornography via sexting, and what they don't realize is that the simple possession of those materials is a felony regardless of whether they approve of or despise the practice.
Sexting Is a Loaded Gun or a Pound of Cocaine
Legally speaking, child pornography is no different than guns and drugs. If you are caught with it, it doesn't matter what your intentions were, you are going to jail. Additionally, most people do not realize that putting child pornography in your computer's trash bin does not solve the problem. If there is any way you can retrieve the pornographic photo after you have deleted it, then you are still in possession.
Many courts have taken this to extremes and will find possession even if retrieving the images requires a computer expert. A common example includes the temporary files created on your computer when you view images on the internet. The police catch online pedophiles by monitoring sites which contain child pornography. They accumulate data on who has viewed the photos and when they finally shut down the site they round up all the visitors' computers and have computer forensic scientist retrieve the temporary files created by surfing the internet. Many of the social networking sites and chat rooms popular with youth contain indecent photos of minors, and the law does not distinguish between an internet user who ogles young girls and one who was is simply reading their friend's online profile. If it is on your computer, you are in trouble.
When teachers ask me what they should do when (not if) they find child pornography on their students' phones I tell them to treat it like a loaded gun or a kilo of cocaine. Don't handle it. Don't examine it. Just call security or the police immediately! No matter what happens, never ever give a child their phone or computer back if you know there is any pornography on it. Giving pornography (not just child pornography) to a minor is a serious crime and I am not aware of any law that makes exceptions for giving a kid back their own pictures.
It Can Come Back to Haunt Them
Inevitably, when I discuss sexting with youths, there are those who balk at my cautions because they don't think they will ever get in trouble. Everyone around them is doing it so why worry?
What they don't realize is that sexting is a new problem. Adults are learning and each year the numbers of children arrested grow as more people report incidents to law enforcement. Also, in many state there is no statute of limitation for these types of felonies. This means that the government can bring charges against a person 20 years after the crime was committed if they want to. Many child molesters are prosecuted only after their victims are grown and come forward as adults. Likewise, a young man who coerces a young woman to expose herself may not get reported to police until the girl has grown and has become old enough to know that what was done to her was illegal.
I tell young men that when they take dirty photos of a girl, that girl has complete control over their fate. If she ever gets angry and wants to hurt them all she has to do pick up the phone and call the police.
However, the more common way youths are being arrested is when their dirty photos are passed around until a responsible adult sees the pictures and calls the police. All the police have to do is threaten the last sender with felony possession and distribution of child pornography unless they tell them where they got the photos. Getting teenagers and parents to talk is easy when children are facing up to 10-20 years in prison.
Some police are also searching phones as a regular part of criminal investigations. One of my young clients was falsely accused of assault and battery after defending himself from a gang attack. When he was arrested the police inventoried his possession and discovered multiple dirty photos of his underage girlfriend on his cell phone. The police quickly realized that he was the real victim and dropped the assault and battery charges; however, they went forward with over ten counts of felony possession of child pornography.
Is There Any Protection?
Obviously sexting is dangerous, but the real question is: what can be done to protect children? To parents, I would like to point out the vast majority of the sexting cases involve camera phones, and I cannot think of a reason that a sixteen year old needs a camera on their phone.
Additionally, I think half of my clients are in trouble because of whom they associate with. Know your children's online and real world friends. There are only two ways I know of to find out who your child associates with online: either you monitor their online activity or you ask them (I recommend both).
Finally, there is no substitute for talking openly and frankly to your children about the consequences of sexting. And while I can only address the legal ramifications, it is up to parents to weigh in on the moral, emotional, and religious implications of online sexual activity.
And if all of that fails, liquidate their college fund and hire a good attorney.

The Universe works in mysterious ways, and – as I learned this week - often for good. Recently I have been yearning for the chocolate sponge and chocolate custard that was a regular feature of school dinners in the late 1970s/early 1980s. Then, Nigella Christmas arrived containing a recipe for a far fancier version. I admit that the book wasn't really much to do with the Universe, more my personal view that a day without an Amazon package arriving is a bad day. Anyway, such omens could not be ignored – the Universe was clearly telling me to make my chocolate pudding.
Most people nowadays steam puddings by standing the basin in a pan of boiling water. I prefer the old fashioned method of standing the pudding over the water. The CCM (Caked Crusader's Ma) has a cast iron – I think it's Victorian – pan that has been handed down through the family and is perfect for the task as the capacity is so great that there's no need to top up the water level mid-steam. Just to the left you will spot a saucepan full of cabbage – I left that in to prove that we don't live solely on cake:
The pudding turned out perfectly:
Oh my word. It's hard to think what to write about this. I have a passionate weakness for steamed sponge puddings – the sponge always seems so light that the laws of physics are defied. The thick, glossy chocolate sauce is irresistible and the work of minutes.
Who wants some of this moist, chocolate, light sponge and sinful sauce?
Sauce or custard? I recommend both. The CCB (Caked Crusader's Brother) reckoned there was a yin and yang vibe going on here; he had a point - I certainly felt a sense of harmony and well being whilst eating this:
For the sauce (this can be made in advance and reheated when required):
125g milk chocolate, broken up into squares
125g plain chocolate, broken up into squares
250ml double cream
75g golden syrup
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the pudding:
175g plain flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
40g cocoa powder
175g caster sugar
175g unsalted butter, at room temperature
60ml plain yoghurt
3 eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
How to make:
- Start by making the chocolate sauce. If kept refrigerated, it can be made up to a week in advance and simply reheated when required.
- Place all the sauce ingredients in a saucepan and melt over a low heat. Stir the mixture occasionally to ensure that no lumps remain. Either serve straight away or decant to a bowl and leave to cool. Refrigerate when cool.
- Now make the pudding: generously butter a 1.7 litre (that's 3 pints for those of you working in old money!) boil proof plastic pudding basin and lid.
- In your steamer, ensure that you have enough boiling water to come halfway up the basin. However, I used a steamer basket, so my sponge didn't sit in the water. Both ways work just as well.
- Put all the pudding ingredients into a food processor and blitz until the ingredients are well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared basin and level the surface.
- Clip the lid onto the basin and then wrap the basin tightly in foil to ensure that no water can get in.
- Steam for a minimum of 1 ½ hours. I gave mine nearer 2 hours and it did no harm at all.
- When ready to serve, remove the basin's foil and lid (careful for steam burns – it's very hot) and put a lipped plate on top. Invert both plate and basin, and give it a slight shake until you feel the pudding is released.
- Reheat the chocolate sauce and either pour over the pudding, hence the lipped plate, or put in a jug for people to serve themselves.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

He decided that he would enter the automobile market, and in 1937, began the development of his first prototype vehicles.

World War II put a halt to all major civilian car production as the Japanese government deemed them to be non-essential commodities. This stopped Suzuki's plans until after the war and the company went back to producing looms full time. When the cotton market collapsed in 1951, Suzuki turned his thoughts back to motor vehicles, both motorcycles and lightweight cars. In 1954, the company changed its name to the Suzuki Motor Company, Ltd. in line with its change in industry focus.
For several years, Suzuki successfully produced motorcycles before launching its first car, the Suzuki Suzulight. This car was sold only in Japan and was produced from 1955 until 1969. In 1963, Suzuki opened a sales subsidiary in Los Angeles under the company name, U.S. Suzuki Motor Corporation. As this was a direct sales subsidiary of the parent company, any Suzuki vehicles sold in America were imported and not built in the U.S.
Suzuki in America
In 1985, the Suzuki of America Automotive Corporation was established. With the formation of this company, Suzuki launched the Samurai, the first vehicle officially marketed by Suzuki in the U.S. While this was a new car in the U.S. market, Suzuki was producing them since 1968. The Samurai, or the SJ413 as it was known in other markets, was classed as a mini SUV. It had seating for two and came in a convertible or hardtop version. This vehicle was extremely popular due to its excellent off-road performance and reliability. The Samurai was withdrawn from American and Canadian markets in 1995 and replaced by the Suzuki Sidekick.
In 1986, the American Suzuki Motor Corporation (ASMC) was created through the merger of Suzuki of America Automotive Corporation and the U.S. Suzuki Motor Corporation. Prior to the official launch of the Samurai, Suzuki had been selling a version of its Cultus model as the Chevrolet Sprint through an agreement with General Motors in 1985. It was a three-door hatchback and was the smallest model available from Chevrolet. The ASMC released the second generation of the Cultus as the Suzuki Swift in 1989.
Suzuki Models
The Swift was launched in 1990 as a three- or five-door hatchback and a four-door sedan version. The Cultus was replaced by the first generation of Suzuki Swifts in 2000. Both three- and five-door hatchback versions were available with automatic or manual transmission. The Swift was launched at the same time as the Suzuki Sidekick, which had a two-door convertible or hardtop off-road vehicle. In 1991, a four-door version was also released. The Sidekick underwent a facelift in 1996 and a Sport version was launched at this time. The Sidekick Sport was short lived and replaced by the Grand Vitara in 1999, which is currently in its third generation.
The Suzuki Esteem was launched by the ASMC in 1995 to replace the Swift four-door sedan. In 1996, a station wagon version of the Esteem was introduced to the market. These were short-lived vehicles as they were replaced in 2002 by the Aerio that had a four-door sedan and a five-door crossover SUV variation with all-wheel drive. In 2001, the Swift was dropped from the North American market. The launch of the SX4 ended production of the Aerio.
Suzuki Products and Technologies
The current models available from Suzuki include the Kizashi, SX4, Grand Vitara and Equator. The Kizashi is a midsize four-door sedan that has been available since 2010. In Japanese, Kizashi means warning or omen, so it is thought that this name was used as a means of suggesting that great things are coming from Suzuki. It is currently the company's flagship sedan.
The Suzuki SX4 is available in three different versions: the sedan, sportback and all-wheel drive crossover. Originally developed as a compact car, the SX4 was first released as a five-door hatchback. The SX4 sedan has a more aerodynamic shape, compared to the sportback and crossover version. The other two versions are five-door hatchbacks. The sportback version went through cosmetic changes, as well as being lower on its suspension than the all-wheel drive version.
The Equator is a midsized pickup truck that is sold by Suzuki, but assembled by Nissan. It is available as a two-door or four-door crew cab version and has been on the market since 2009.

- The European Union's Reform Process: The Lisbon Treaty
- In December 2007, leaders of the European Union (EU) signed the Lisbon Treaty, which seeks to reform the EU's governing institutions and decisionmaking processes to enable a larger EU to operate more effectively. This new treaty represents the latest stage in a reform process begun in 2002 and essentially replaces the proposed EU "constitution" that foundered after French and Dutch voters rejected it in referendums in 2005. In June 2008, Irish voters rejected the Lisbon Treaty, and have thrown its future into doubt. This report provides background information on EU reform efforts and possible implications for U.S.-EU relations that may be of interest in the second session of the 110th Congress.

"At this point in time, we are not going to initiate watering restrictions," added Laws, "but it is something that could be done in the future."
As a result, the Council strongly encourages residents to voluntarily initiate water conservation efforts, particularly as they relate to lawn watering.
"If we can control the waste, we can probably stay afloat," added Laws, who said that watching water run down the gutter in the summer causes him heartburn.
City residents are encouraged to adjust sprinkler systems to avoid sending water down the gutter. If steps are taken to avoid waste, the city may not need to implement watering restrictions.
Council members also discussed initiating fines for those who waste water. "It may help to put a penalty in place to encourage residents to adjust their sprinklers," added Laws.
The Council acknowledged that the city itself has been a water waster in the past and pledged to do better. Other large water users, such as school, churches and businesses, were also discussed.
The city currently has enough water to meet needs for two years, 2013 and 2014. In contrast, when all reservoirs are full, the city has a five-year supply of water. As a result, Laws pointed out that reserves are currently three years low.
The city has drilled three deep wells for emergency situations. They could meet city demand. However, city officials state that they would prefer to use the existing reserves because of the high cost of operating the wells.
In other matters at the April 9 Council meeting, the Council approved a $1,500,912 bid from Silver Spur Construction for the water transmission pipeline project. The engineer's estimate for the project was more than $1.5 million. The other bids for the project ranged from $1.2 to $1.8 million.
Council members expressed delight and concern that the low bid was so much below estimates. The engineering firm stated they have worked with Silver Spur in the past and added that they are "experienced and capable of performing the work".
Related to the project, the Council authorized a $750,000 Parity Water Revenue Bond to help fund the pipeline project. Funding for the project was coordinated through the Utah Community Impact Board.
City officials report that an investigator from the state has investigated complaints about unlicensed contractors. The investigator encourages anyone with concerns to report them and said the state will investigate complaints. A conversation in a prior council meeting centered on who is responsible to investigate and enforce licensing concerns.
The Council also discussed proposed changes to Blanding General Plan, which has not been changed since 1998.
Councilman Joe B Lyman stated that the changes were generally minor, with a few edits, clarifications, and minor adjustments. The changes will be an action item in a future council meeting.
Lyman said the General Plan is not binding, but "it sends us in the direction that the document points." He added, "The City tends to become what is written in here."
Council expressed approval to a letter by Mayor Toni Turk regarding immigration enforcement. The letters encourage the federal government to get the job done, secure the borders and enforce the laws.
Bret Hosler approached the council regarding two building lots he owns that he intends to merge into a single lot. Currently, both lots have water, sewer and electric connections. Hosler would like to transfer the connections to a lot he owns in another area.The council wants to ensure that the lots are merged and will wait for an action item in a future meeting.
City officials report that monthly natural gas use is 16 percent higher than in 2012, twelve firefighters are taking the training courses, and college memberships are "booming" at the city recreation center

Related Media: Coronary Angiography
A heart attack is a medical emergency. If you think you are having a heart attack, call for emergency medical services right away .
Tests to Diagnose a Heart Attack
Blood Tests
Coronary Angiography
On the way to, or within minutes of your arrival at the hospital, you will be hooked up to an electrocardiogram (EKG), which monitors your heart's electrical activity. A healthy heart creates a specific pattern on an EKG. A heart attack and heart damage will cause disruptions to this pattern.
Other diagnostic tests will also be done to confirm if you had a heart attack. Tests may include:
Blood tests look for markers of a heart attack. Specific substances are found in the blood within hours or days after a heart attack. Blood tests may need to be repeated in order to track the enzymes. Progressive elevation of the enzymes indicates heart cell death and heart muscle damage. Substances include:
- Troponins—a group of proteins involved in heart muscle contraction
- Creatine kinase (CK)—can be used if troponin testing is unavailable
- Myoglobin—can be useful for diagnosis when used in combination with other blood tests
Blood tests can also be used to evaluate glucose, electrolyte, and cholesterol levels, as well as blood clotting time.
A coronary angiogram uses an injected dye to detect calcium deposits and cholesterol plaques in the coronary arteries. A catheter is threaded through a distant artery in the groin or wrist and passed to a coronary artery. The injected dye highlights areas where blood flow to the heart is reduced or completely blocked.
If narrowing or blockage is found, it can be relieved with a balloon, stent, or other procedure.
Tests to Evaluate Heart Damage
Heart attacks can cause permanent heart damage. After you are stabilized, it is likely you will have other tests to assess damage or look for any underlying causes of your heart attack. Tests may include:
- Chest x-ray —Detects heart enlargement or congestion in the lungs. This test can help diagnose heart failure or an unrelated lung condition.
- Exercise stress test —Records the heart's electrical activity during increased physical activity. It may be coupled with other tests that detect blood flow through the heart. People who cannot exercise may be given IV medication that simulates the effects of physical exertion.
Imaging tests:
- Echocardiogram —Ultrasound detects abnormalities in the heart muscle by highlighting areas of poor blood flow.
- MRI scan —Use of magnetic waves to make 2- or 3-dimensional pictures of the heart.
- Nuclear scanning —Contrast material is injected into a vein and observed as it is absorbed by the heart muscle. The areas with diminished blood flow appear as dark spots on the scan.
- SPECT scan —Evaluates blood flow to the heart muscle.

This week, VA Butler Healthcare is honoring the dedicated men and women we in the Department of Veterans Affairs consider to be the compassionate backbone of the veterans health care system — nurses.
The theme of National Nurses Week 2013, which continues through May 12, is "Nurses: Delivering Quality and Innovation in Patient Care."
No one puts more passion into the health care profession than VA nurses. The VA is the nation's largest single employer of nurses, and VA nurses lead their profession in education, training and clinical responsibility. But their passion comes from the VA's mission, caring for veterans. VA nurses are integral and equal members of our health care team of professionals. No health care professional is closer to the veterans we care for than a VA nurse.
Veterans and families rely on them for their compassion, and the VA relies on them for setting the highest clinical care standards.
That reliance is well placed. VA's recognition as a leader in health care and patient safety is due in large part to nurses.
I am deeply proud to be associated with the nurses who serve veterans at VA Butler Healthcare.

Much like with Mike Gastineau, I am not a fan. But he's been here forever. So you gotta tip your hat, I guess.
I did enjoy these two quotes from this article:
"I find myself at a lot more games thinking 'I've written this story 411 times now. Isn't that enough?'" says Kelley, who came to the Times in 1982 from The Oregonian, with earlier newspaper stops in Olympia, Centralia, and Pennsylvania. "It's more and more a challenge to find a different way to write it."
That's what your readers have been saying for years!
"The reader comments section, it's a free-for-all," Kelley says. "The level of discourse has become so inane and nasty. And it's not just at the Times, it's ESPN, everywhere - people, anonymous people, take shots at the story, writers, each other. Whatever you've achieved in that story gets drowned out by this chorus of idiots."
Couldn't agree more.
Adios, Kelley. Bring on more Jerry Brewer!

Away back in April--seems like years ago--I wrote about our home remodeling efforts and how much fun we were having working with Black + White Studio Architects. Planning a home addition is like planning a vacation or a wedding--what's not to love?
Well a lot has happened (or perhaps NOT happened, if you're a glass-half-empty kind of person) since then and though we'd originally planed on starting work in May (that's your cue to laugh heartily at our expense) I can finally report that "Houston, we have lift off."
I won't bore you with too many details about the excruciating pains the Municipality has taken to ensure our project never happens. Forgive me my melodrama but a drama it has been, earning a spot in the Crazy Hall of Fame because in short our house was built before the current housing ordinances were in place. Regulations now require that homes be 20 feet back from the front property line when in fact our garage is eight inches over that line. Eight inches. Eight LOUSY inches.
At any rate, we wanted to build our addition straight up, flush with the garage but given the reaction from the city you'd think that allowing us to build on top of our own house on the existing wall would be akin to helping Al Quaida distribute crystal meth wrapped in asbestos to the starving orphans of the world. We had to be stopped.
They told us that no, we couldn't build straight up and that regardless of common sense the addition had to conform to the new laws and must be built eight inches farther back. On top of the garage. They didn't care that it would be more expensive and time-consuming, that it wouldn't be quite as pretty and wouldn't give us as much space as before. They simply didn't care. Oh I shouldn't say that, I'm sure the Municipal office workers down at Permitting got quite a thrill out of being able to tell another human being how they could or could not build their house, that kind of power always excites. It's always nice to see our taxes dollars at work--making the world safe from felons such as us.
So it's been slow going to get a contractor, get prices down to where we wanted them and then to jump through all the city's hoops. Not that I'm bitter.
There were a few points where we said "Do we really want to do this? Shouldn't we just forget it, sell all of our worldly possessions and buy a yak farm in Tibet? They don't have housing ordinances there do they?" but when it came down to it we knew we'd be happy with this beautiful addition--that and I bet yaks aren't easy to house train.
So we closed our eyes, held our breath, signed on the dotted line and ripped off the garage roof on Saturday. There's no turning back now. I made a time-lapse video of the demolition which I must say is very cool. After 170 pictures I've learned a few tips about the technique and plan on taking more and better footage of the construction then will put it all together at the end for the big unveiling.
I didn't get pictures of Andrew actually using the jack hammer so it looks like he's tearing up the concrete steps with his bare hands.
But for now all you need to know is that we're forging ahead and these pictures are what keeps us going:
Ta da! The exterior picture at the top is an earlier photo and doesn't show the darker paint we chose, the new entry and front steps that we'll be putting in or the Grasscrete we'll be using for landscaping.
Here's what it will look like from inside, as I've said before the design is perfect and it will be so beautiful when it's done. This interior shot is looking along the addition from one side to the other and you can see the sliding door in the middle there that will separate the girls' room from the boys' room. It can lock for privacy or open to create this large, bright, creative space that will have a great view of the mountains in front. And just look at all that desk and shelving space.
They're telling us that it will be done in two months. You can bet I'll be posting final pictures--do you think there's any chance on earth we'll be finished in 60 days?

Residents going to the Red Cross shelters are asked to bring adequate supplies, said Gary L. Laing, community relations coordinator for DEMA.
Laing said many of these supplies are necessary for individual use and some are items that will make the stay more comfortable. The items include bedding (sheets, blankets, and pillows), special needs foods and snacks, important documents such as medical records and birth certificates, personal hygiene items, medications, and games to occupy children.
When pets are brought, the owners should provide the following: medical records, vaccination history, medications, current photographs, vet phone number, documentation of behavior problems, alternate contact information, first aid kit, leashes, collars and harnesses with identification tags, a pet carrier for each animal, food and water bowls, litter pans for cats, food and water for at least seven days, toys, and blankets.
Smyrna information
Lake Como has been lowered about a foot and will be monitored. Under a limited state of emergency, Town Hall will be open Monday as usual with liberal leave. The town will decide during the day about early dismissal.
The Special Council meeting scheduled for Monday, Oct. 28 at 6:30 p.m. on the 2013 budget has been canceled; it will be rescheduled once the storm passes.
Smyrna School District schools are closed Monday, Oct. 28 and Tuesday, Oct. 29.

1st round: DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson
Drafting Hopkins at #25 feels like drafting Julio Jones without selling the farm to get him.
Hopkins is the perfect WR for what Seattle needs. He runs terrific routes. He can cut on a dime on the short comebacker. He can beat DBs with double moves and beat defenses deep. He has the attitude of a champion and will work tirelessly to improve his craft. He is physical but also quick.
Tahj Boyd is actually a pretty good QB capable of spreading the ball, and yet he clearly favored Hopkins last season. Hopkins is the best WR on that team, but he still earns those targets.
The downside with Hopkins is that he doesn't have the strongest hands and sometimes struggles against good coverage (lots of balls knocked out). He's a great deep ball WR when he gets behind the DB and knows how to catch a ball in stride, but when he's targeted deep on contested throws (jump ball scenario) he often mistimes his jump much like Golden Tate does.
Bottom line: Hopkins is perhaps the best route runner in the draft (in a stellar WR class), he's got size, and he will probably surprise people with his 40 time at the combine. He's outrunning people on the deep stuff. The lack of hype for him is unfathomable to me.
2nd round: Alex Okafor, DE, Texas
I think the "lack of athleticism," which I put in air quotes because it's been exaggerated, will cause Okafor to slip in the draft. Late 2nd, even 3rd or 4th round would not completely shock me. Purely in terms of size and athleticism, he's similar to Everson Griffen (2010), who was touted as a late 1st option but slid into the 4th round. Everson Griffen had 8 sacks last year, btw. While Okafor probably raised some eyebrows with a 4.5 sack performance in his final college game, I think at the end of the day a mediocre combine will lower his stock and this pick could become realistic.
Okafor is a player that I didn't like much at first but the more I watch him the more I warm up to the idea of drafting him. His speed is roughly on par with Chris Clemons' speed. Clemons is quick but he's hardly a blur. Clemons made it big in Seattle after mastering a wide repertoire of pass rush moves over his career. Okafor is similar in that he relies on skill more than pure athleticism. And like Clemons, Okafor is a finisher. He's not an elite prospect, but he's perhaps an under-rated one in a bleak pass rusher draft class.
Okafor is not an "ideal" LEO, but he is in my opinion the best LEO candidate that could realistically be in play at either #25 or #58. If Pete is adamant about Okafor not being athetic enough, he should probably address the area in free agency. My gut instinct is that Okafor doesn't end up a Seahawk. He might not be fast enough, and he's certainly not unique. He is good enough, and undervalued. I'd draft him, but I'm not sure our FO would. Then again, this draft is sorely lacking for fast LEO types.
3rd round: Brandon Williams, DT, Missouri Southern State University
(Williams is #66)
I hope that I am the only one outside our front office to make this comparison: Haloti Ngata. Both weigh 340 pounds, both move very fast for their size, both can shed blocks, and both alternate between 3-tech and 1-tech roles despite their mammoth size. Williams is so athletic he was often seen lining up in a 3-tech spot and then stunting around the end. Like Ngata, Williams is a nasty tackler and can obliterate his victims.
The only reason why Williams is a 3rd or 4th round pick is because he played for a small school (for which he owns their all time sack record: 29). His domination in the senior bowl should put to rest worries over level of competition. Like Russell Wilson last year, Williams is being devalued for reasons that can be factually disproven, or are at least on tenuous footing. Honestly, it would not shock me if Seattle took Williams in round 1, his upside is certainly high enough and he seems like the kind of player that could see a massive rise up draft boards in the final two months.
4th round: Khaseem Greene, LB, Rutgers
I'm guessing Pete Carroll is a much bigger fan of Greene than I am, but if Greene's 230 pound weight on a maxed out frame helps him last this long, count me as part of the fan club. Not to sound cynical. Like Okafor, Greene is a player that I like more and more every time I go back and watch him. He rarely moves at top speed, but Carroll might view that as a positive. Greene plays well below his speed potential out of tentativeness, but with coaching he could outgrow it and become a fast linebacker in the future. Greene looked faster in 2012 than he did in 2011- seemingly because of increased comfort and decisiveness.
Greene is a natural linebacker who fills gaps well and isn't afraid of the scrum. I doubt he'll clock a 40 time better than 4.6 (another reason I think he'll last this long), but he's not an embarrassment as a blitzer and can drop deep into coverage quickly.
Above all, I just get that "Pete Carroll LB" vibe from Greene like crazy when I watch him. It's reassuring knowing that Pat Kirwan and Tim Ryan made the same observation on a recent Sirius radio segment. Kirwan is close friend with Carroll and might be privy to some inside information. It's enough to make you wonder.
If Pete wasn't our coach, I wouldn't draft Greene. But given Pete's track record with linebackers just like this, I think he could probably turn Greene into a minor star next year just like he did for Wagner. Getting a minor star at a position of need is a bargain in the 4th round.
5th round: Micah Hyde, CB, Iowa
Hyde is an outstanding, well rounded cover corner with size who's being devalued for a lack of speed and a one time public intoxication incident. This pick is right up Seattle's alley.
5th round: Denard Robinson, WR/RB/KR/QB, Michigan
Robinson just bombed the Senior Bowl practices as a WR. That's to be expected, WR is not a position that can be learned overnight. Tony Pauline (SI) tends to have good sources. Here is what he tweeted about Robinson yesterday:
Senior Bowl notes posted- most scouts presently have a last day grade on Denard Robinson/WR/Michigan
I think Robinson's future is very bright at RB should he add just a little bit of bulk. I think he could excel in a Leon Washington role. As a WR, well, Seattle isn't afraid of projects at WR. And while I don't think Robinson is an NFL QB, he does have read option experience and could be an emergency consideration. Most importantly, Robinson's 4.3 speed could make him an asset on kick returns and give Seattle their heir to Leon Washington.
That's a ton of utility out of one roster spot, and remember, Pete and John love versatility out of their players. It's worth noting that a Seattle scout was seen chatting with Robinson at the Senior Bowl.
6th round: Corey Lemonier, DE, Auburn
I said before that this draft is very thin on speedy LEO candidates. One under the radar option that I think could be worth looking into on day 3 is Corey Lemonier. He's undersized (6'3", 242 pounds), but possesses outstanding speed. He had 9.5 sacks in 2011 but really hurt his stock this year by posting just .5 sacks over his final 8 games (5.5 for the season). Lemonier actually had a year of eligibility left but turned it down to go pro. That's a big mistake, although it could be a mistake that plays in Seattle's favor.
Lemonier needs to add weight, but it's worth noting that he's the same height and six pounds heavier than Chris Clemons when he was coming out of Georgia in 2003. Lemonier looks fast enough to run sub 4.6, and he'd not without a few pass rush moves. I like how he finishes a sack too. The thing that stood out to me watching the video above is how Auburn played him at a 5-technique position (shaded just outside tackle). Had they lined him up in a LEO type position he probably would have faired a lot better. Could be a case like Irvin at WVU. Irvin's production plummetted when they moved him inside, but he bounced back immediately when returned to a nine-tech type role.
Lemonier is generally graded in the late 3rd round, but there are extenuating circumstances that could cause GMs to underrate him come draft day.
7th round: Cooper Taylor, S, Richmond
More potato filmed footage of a true freak of nature, Taylor stands 6'5" and yet moves like a much shorter man. He can cover a lot of ground in a hurry and I love the way he flings himself into tackles. 2013 is looking like a great draft for small school players.
7th round: Brandon Ford, TE, Clemson
Ford is a classic H-back type, and gives the Seahawks a stretch the field threat from a tight end spot. Would make for good competition alongside Cameron Morrah for the #3 TE job.
7th round: Matt Scott, QB, Arizona
I would almost guarantee you that Seattle will draft a backup QB capable of running the read option, and the list of mid to late round QBs who can offer that is a short one. Matt Scott is a leading candidate, and they might take him earlier than this. I probably would, but I have him this low after he (according to youtube) measured 6'1.75" at the Senior Bowl.

Ridgecrest Area Convention and Visitors Bureau's board of directors approved a long-anticipated item that would benefit the organization.
The board approved the updated RACVB bylaws to include changes for the Ridgecrest Tourism Improvement District.
"We're at a point now where we can nickel and dime it, but we can vote on them," said RACVB Board Chair Janis Bottorff.
RACVB Executive Director Doug Lueck indicated any additional changes could be made within 30 days of approving the bylaws.
The amended bylaws better define the tourism improvement district, which incorporate all of Ridgecrest's hotels.
When the RTID went into effect Oct. 1, it created a revenue stream for the RACVB for its marketing and advertising efforts to draw tourism to the area.
Lodging businesses would pay a 2 percent assessment rate of all short-term room rental revenue, added onto room rates. Short-term is described as less than 30 days of occupancy.
The board also welcomed 3 additional new members, who will be seated next month.
Maturango Museum Exceutive Director Harris Brokke will serve as the general member. SpringHill Suites General Manager Dan Spurgeon and Econo Lodge Inn owner Ghanshyam Popat will represent larger establishments, while Aloha Motel manager Joshi Kishar will represent lodgings of 50 rooms or less.
Fielding Muddy Revenue Ideas
Ridgecrest resident Tony Kim fielded an idea to the board about the possibility of the city opening itself up to hosting activities like the Tough Mudder mud run.
Kim said Tough Mudder was a 10-12 mile obstacle race course that was pretty well organized.
"The course was designed by British SAS, Britain's special forces," he said. Worldwide, it has garnered 700,000 participants and raised $5 million for Wounded Warrior.
"Basically, everyone there was well organized and I when I saw the event, it was very thorough," Kim said. "As a military officer, I pay attention to detail."
Kim made it clear he was at the meeting representing himself, not the military.
He said his past experience with the event was the lack of hotel spaces, indicating that at one location, there were only a few hotels and already packed.
"Why can't you do this here where you have heads and beds?" he said, indicating the base and city could work together, as well as bringing the Bureau of Land Management on board.
Peggy Shoaf, Public Relations officer for China Lake NAWS, indicated that she had already been apprised of the situation.
Kim indicated that something like Tough Mudder could offer a great opportunity for Ridgecrest by establishing it as a center for outdoor excellence. He said the possibility existed that it could generate as much as $3.5 to $5 million in revenue for the community, between stores, hotels and restaurants.
Ridgecrest Vice Mayor Pro Tem Jason Patin praised the idea.
"To me these are things that we look for as a city," Patin said. "When I hear about something that could potentially bring in $3.5-$5 million over a weekend, I automatically perk up."
