Why can't I start threads?
New users are not entrusted with that capability until they reach 100 points. (Updated 11/29/2010)
How do I get points?
Every time you post a comment or reply in a thread you get a point.
Wait… then why do I have negative 60?
You can't see this yet—you won't until you get to 100 points, naturally—but all posts/comments come with the ability to vote up or down on them. If you post things that are displeasing to the general populace, you will lose points as people downvote you. You get two points per upvote and minus one per downvote.
How can I avoid downvotes?
Don't be redundant. Don't use stupid nicknames like O$U. Spell things correctly. Don't post useless replies like "I agree" and whatnot.
What happens when I get huge numbers of negative points?
I get dinged and I check your profile out to see if you're pure troll or not, and ban appropriately.
What should I title my threads?
Please make your thread titles as informative as possible: "Justin Feagin" is bad. "Justin Feagin leaving the team?" is good.
How can I bold stuff, insert images, embed videos, etc?
ShockFX provided a helpful primer on basic HTML if you'd like to add some visual pop to your posts.
Why did my post get deleted/edited?
Getting personal on college athletes usually results in a deletion, and virtually always when it's a Michigan player in question. Threads that invite flaming also get deleted. Threads with misleading titles designed to scare the crap out of readers before they click will either be deleted or edited so that their titles reflect their contents.
Can I repeat premium information?
To a limited extent. More details are here. Briefly: don't hit CTRL+C, and don't repeat every last detail.
What's the offtopic policy?
In the offseason, offtopic posts are tolerated. During football season they are discouraged and may be subject to removal depending on how alert the moderators are. What counts as on- and off- topic?
- Anything Michigan sports related
- Anything related to other Big Ten teams or upcoming opponents
- Stuff about the blog itself
- University of Michigan topics that don't relate to sports
- College sports in general
- Ann Arbor
- Politics
- Drew Sharp, Ace Williams, Mike Valenti. Saying stupid and/or false things about Michigan in order to get Michigan fans upset is a tried and true way to phish for clicks. Let's not feed the trolls.
- Pro sports of any variety
- Everything else
We will let pro sports topics slide even during football season but "everything else" posts are likely to get the axe.
I have another question.
Email me about it.

Dodge Steering Stabilizers
Replacement steering stabilizers for your Dodge Ram pickup or Ramcharger will dampen out the harshness of the highway ride, reduce shimmy, bump steer and front end vibration. Steering stabilizers are engineered to restrain "bump steer" and front end vibration, giving added life to tires, ball joints and other steering components. An aftermarket stabilizer is far superior to a factory steering stabilizer as they are specifically designed to handle off-road conditions with lifted vehicles.

LEHMAN TWP. - Paul Menditto of Bushkill has announced his candidacy for the Magisterial District Judge of Judicial District 60-3-04 in Pike County.
This is the seat currently held by Magisterial District Judge Steven A. McBride who will be retiring after serving the people of Pike County for 18 years.
Menditto offered the following reasons why is he running for this office: • He believes in the legal system and the rule of law. He also realizes that the role of a Magisterial District Judge is to assess credibility of those who come before him and that fair judgment is required in each case.
• He believes that he can bring a unique perspective to the position of Magisterial District Judge. He says he will treat everyone who enters his courtroom with dignity and respect, regardless if they are the plaintiff or defendant, whether a lawyer represents them or not. "Every citizen will receive a full, impartial and respectful hearing and decision," he states.
• Menditto realizes that regardless of how many cases he hears, when a person enters his courtroom, this will be the most important thing going on in his or her life right now. There will not be any "run of the mill" cases.
• As a non-lawyer, Paul Menditto will be a full-time Judge. Most lawyers that become Magisterial District Judges keep their law practice and have to divide their time.
Explaining why he feels people should vote for him, Mendotto noted: • He is certified by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to be a Magisterial District Judge.
• He has a lot of life experience including being a public servant with a background in the private sector. He can relate to the every day person struggling to earn an honest living, raise a family and pay the bills.
• With over two decades of public service and community involvement, Menditto said he can relate to everyday people because he is one of us.
• Menditto states he is a God-Fearing man who believes in fairness and justice for everyone.
• The authors of the Pennsylvania Constitution specifically designed the position of Magisterial District Judge as a position that can be filled by non-lawyers.
• Menditto said he will be available to serve the people of the district in a full time capacity without any conflict of interest.
A formal announcement was planned Feb. 4 at The Bushkill Inn and Conference Center on Bushkill Falls Road in Lehman Township.
Menditto has been a Supervisor of Lehman Township since 2004. Since 2009 he has chaired the Pike County Council of Governments and is also a member of the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors. He is presently on the Pike County Scenic Rural Character Preservation Committee,and previously served on the Lehman Township Planning Commission and the Pike County Solid Waste Advisory Committee.
Volunteer service has included president of the Pocono Ranch Lands Property Owners Association, leadership positions with the Boy Scouts of America, Bushkill Kiwanis Club and Bushkill/Smithfields Lions Club.
He has been active with the East Stroudsburg North High School Band Parents Organization, Bushkill Elementary School participating in Spring Into Reading for 12 years and as East Stroudsburg North Little League Umpire-in-Chief and Secretary. Menditto was inducted into the East Stroudsburg Baseball Hall of Fame.
He and his wife Marguerite have five children- three are in college, and two grandchildren. They also have a pet dog Max. Their home since 1990 is in Pocono Ranch Lands.

Summary View help for Summary
This study assessed the Dallas County Judicial Treatment Center (DCJTC) in Texas. The DCJTC is a residential substance abuse treatment center for drug-involved felony offenders. It provides a treatment program of approximately six months in three major phases: orientation, main treatment, and re-entry. Data were collected from 429 offenders admitted to the DCJTC between January and December 1998. During their first week of treatment, residents completed a comprehensive intake battery that included (1) the Texas Christian University (TCU) initial assessment, (2) the TCU self-rating form (SRF), and (3) the TCU intake interview. The initial assessment gauged mental status, background and psychosocial functioning, alcohol and other drug use, and psychological status. The SRF assessed psychological functioning, social functioning, and motivation for treatment. The intake interview included detailed questions on the resident's social background, family and peer relations, health and psychological status, criminal history, drug use problems, and behavioral risks for HIV/AIDS. Progress made during treatment was measured by the TCU Resident Evaluation of Self and Treatment (REST) and the TCU Counselor Rating of Client (CRC) forms. The REST included all questions on the SRF, plus questions on offenders' perceptions of the structure of the program and their experiences while in treatment, an evaluation of the counselor, an evaluation of their own personality, and ratings of group and individual treatment sessions. The CRC forms rated residents on a set of attributes related to residents' ability to benefit from treatment and indicated the extent to which counseling activities with each client had focused on certain activities.

Study Purpose View help for Study Purpose
This study assessed the Dallas County Judicial Treatment Center (DCJTC) in Texas. The DCJTC is a residential substance abuse treatment center for drug-involved felony offenders. Opened in 1991, the DCJTC has a 228-bed capacity, including four 35-bed units for men and three 20-bed units for women. This program represents the final and most restrictive sanction county and district judges can impose before state jail or prison terms. No systematic screening procedures were used to determine offenders' needs for drug treatment or therapeutic intervention during the time period covered by this study. The DCJTC is managed by Cornell Corrections, Inc., under contract from the Dallas County Community Supervisions and Corrections Department. The DCJTC was designed as a therapeutic community (TC). It provides a treatment program of approximately six months in three major phases: orientation, main treatment, and re-entry. Offenders advance through a hierarchical recovery sequence in which they receive progressively more responsibilities and privileges. This study's primary goal was to address the need to assess and appropriately classify inmates' problems and monitor service delivery and therapeutic progress to help ensure effective treatment. The treatment episode was seen as a series of interrelated events, each presenting an opportunity to collect data that could improve the effectiveness of treatment. This study developed a set of data collection instruments to be administered at regular intervals throughout treatment. The regular use of these instruments was seen as narrowing the feedback loop between stakeholders, program staff, and program participants in order to improve participant selection, classification, and the treatment process. These instruments were administered to DCJTC program participants and used to (1) assess the risks and needs that offenders present at admission, including classification of drug dependence problems, (2) examine the short-term impact of the TC on improvements in psychosocial functioning and treatment motivation, and (3) determine whether it can be predicted who will prematurely drop out of the program.
Study Design View help for Study Design
Data were collected from 429 offenders admitted to the DCJTC between January and December 1998. Many of the data collection instruments used in this study originated in the Drug Abuse Reporting Program (Sells and Simpson, 1976, Simpson and Sells, 1982, 1990). These instruments were modified more recently for use in a project titled Improving Drug Abuse Treatment, Assessment, and Research (Simpson, Chatham, and, Joe, 1993, Simpson, Dansereau, and Joe, 1997). This evaluation system was adapted further in other studies for use in residential correctional settings. Revisions to these forms for this study included rewording items to reference the six months prior to the commitment arrest as the time frame for the collection of baseline information. During their first week of treatment, residents completed a comprehensive intake battery that included (1) the Texas Christian University (TCU) initial assessment, (2) the TCU self-rating form (SRF), and (3) the TCU intake interview. The initial assessment was a structured, counselor-led interview completed within 24 hours of treatment entry and was divided into four major sections: (1) mental status, (2) background and psychosocial functioning, (3) alcohol and other drug use, and (4) psychological status. Indication of severe mental impairment was gauged through four questions adapted from the Mini-Mental Status Exam. Immediately following the initial assessment, residents completed the SRF, a 95-item self-report instrument designed to assess psychological functioning, social functioning, and motivation for treatment. A counselor administered the intake interview approximately two to seven days after the initial assessment in order to give residents time to acquaint themselves with the program and staff. It included detailed questions on the resident's social background, family and peer relations, health and psychological status, criminal history, drug use problems, and behavioral risks for HIV/AIDS. Progress made during treatment was measured by the TCU Resident Evaluation of Self and Treatment (REST) and the TCU Counselor Rating of Client (CRC) forms. These instruments were administered at the end of treatment months one, three, and six, linking them to major landmarks in residents' treatment episodes: end of orientation, completion of the 90-day treatment plan, and completion of the discharge plan. The REST included all 95 questions on the SRF and sections on offenders' perceptions of the structure of the program and their experiences while in treatment, an evaluation of the counselor, an evaluation of their own personality, and ratings of group and individual treatment sessions. The CRC forms were completed by each resident's primary counselor. They rated residents on a set of 25 attributes related to residents' ability to benefit from treatment and indicated the extent to which counseling activities with each client had focused on certain activities.

Description of Variables View help for Description of Variables
Variables include gender, admission date, discharge date, discharge code, and treatment discharge code. Variables from the initial assessment include mental status, date of birth, race, residence in last month, marital status, education history, employment history, sources of financial support, kind of health insurance, legal status, degree of pressure felt from others to enter treatment program, how important it was to patient to get treatment for different types of problems, history of use of alcohol, marijuana, opiates, cocaine or crack, speedballs, inhalants, amphetamines, hallucinogens, sedatives or tranquilizers, and nicotine, history of injecting drugs, how problematic alcohol and other drug use was in past year, history of psychological problems, whether eligibility criteria were met, and whether patient met any exclusionary criteria. Variables based on initial assessment responses include whether patient met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, fourth edition, criteria for being classified as dependent on or an abuser of alcohol, cocaine, cannabis, or opiates. Variables from the SRF include answers to the 95 items on the form and scales based on those responses for self-esteem, depression, anxiety, decision-making, childhood problems, hostility, risk-taking, social conformity, problem recognition, desire for help, treatment readiness, and self-efficacy. Variables from the intake interview include living situation prior to entering treatment, number of children, what relationship was like with spouse/primary partner and children in last six months, marital history, problems experienced in elementary school, employment history, sources of financial support in last six months, what adults patient lived with during childhood, quality of parenting provided by mother and father, number of siblings, relationship with family members in last six months, role of religion in patient's life, number of friends in past six months, number of friends who did not use drugs, characteristics of friends (including criminal activities engaged in), relationship with friends, and leisure activities. Additional variables focus on criminal history (including arrests and reasons for arrests), age at first arrest, income from illegal activity, arrests on drugs or trying to get drugs, history of incarceration, current legal status, health and psychological status, drug use history (including which drugs were most serious problem and age at first use of different drugs), frequency of use of different drugs in last six months and last 30 days, alcohol use history, problems caused by drug and alcohol use, whether friends and family had undergone drug treatment, reasons for using drugs and alcohol, number of times quit using drugs or alcohol, previous treatment experience, whether family and friends would support treatment efforts, patient's assessment of how successful treatment would be, history of gambling, activities relating to AIDS risk, attitudes toward AIDS, and counselor assessment of patient, including physical and mental health and the areas in which the counselor thought the patient was in most need of treatment. Variables from the REST and CRC forms appear three times, once for each administration of the forms (at one month, three months, and six months after admission). Variables from the REST include answers to the 95 items that appear on the SRF, patients' ratings of treatment program features, their own participation in therapeutic groups, counselors' attitudes and behavior, their own attitudes and behavior, group counseling sessions, individual counseling sessions, and the amount of time devoted to different issues in the group and individual sessions, date of admission of form, and counselor who administered the form. Variables based on answers to the REST include the same scales derived from answers to the SRF along with scales measuring patients' perceptions of program structure, staff empathy, peer support, therapeutic sessions, treatment engagement, personal progress, trust in staff and other patients, counselor competence, and counselor rapport. Variables from the CRC include answers to 25 questions that rate patient attributes, answers to 23 questions about the focus of treatment with the patient, date form was completed, and counselor who completed the form.

A measure for classifying risk of recidivism was modeled after the Lifestyle Criminality Screening Form. Measures of patients' perceptions of program structure and their treatment experience were adapted from the Client Self-Rated Progress Checklist. Other scales used in this study were the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, fourth edition, the Mini-Mental Status Exam, the Pearlin Mastery Scale, the problem recognition, desire for help, and treatment readiness scales developed by Joe, Knezek, Watson, and Simpson, the TCU HIV/AIDS Risk Assessment, and several Likert-type scales.

Middletown native Kendall Messick received tributes Tuesday from both houses of the Delaware General Assembly honoring his more than 20-year career as a photographer and documentarian.
Artist Kendall Messick's work has been displayed in some of the finest galleries and museums in the country.
Now, the Middletown native is getting his due in Delaware, where he received tributes Tuesday from both houses of the General Assembly.
"Obviously, this is a very special honor," said the 1983 valedictorian at the now-defunct Broadmeadow School. "I typically invest years in my projects, so to put my heart and soul into my work and then to be recognized in this way is a very special feeling."
The tributes Messick received this week recognized his 20-year-career as an artist who combines film, photography and other media to document the always unique and sometimes eccentric lives of seniors who might otherwise escape attention.
"I've always been interested in sharing the stories of people who are in some way disenfranchised, and the oldest members of our society are often the most marginalized," he said. "It's amazing what you can discover when you make time to really engage people and get to know their lives."
Messick is perhaps best known in Delaware for his 32-minute documentary, "The Projectionist," and its subsequent book and touring exhibition, which is on display at the Biggs Museum of American Art in Dover until June 28.
The 2003 film explores the life of Messick's childhood neighbor, Gordon Brinckle (pronounced Brinkley), a former usher and projectionist at The Everett Theatre whose lifelong fascination with early 20th-century movie houses inspired him to create an elaborate replica in the basement of his Hoffecker Street home.
Naming it "The Shalimar," Brinckle adorned his private theater with crimson walls, gold-tasseled curtains, footlights, a miniature Kimball organ, a ticket office, an 18-speaker sound system and a 16 mm projector.
Messick said he hopes the recognitions he received this week will help raise local interest in Brinckle, who died in 2007.
"I think he's looking down on all this and smiling," Messick said. "He always longed for his theater to be seen and appreciated, and I think for his work to live on like this was a dream come true for him."
A graduate of the International Center of Photography and the School of Visual Arts in New York City, Messick initially worked in corporate sales and management before his artistic career took off in the late 1990s, following his work as a still photographer on the documentaries "There is No Such Word as Can't," and "Here and Now."
His first major project, the feature-length 2002 documentary "Corapeake," captures the lives of African-Americans in Corapeake, N.C. The Chicago Tribute described it as "a human chronicle of great sympathy, warmth and insight, photographed and edited with seemingly effortless artistry."
Messick followed "The Projectionist" with "Impermanence," an exhibition of 42 photographs inspired by a house fire that devastated his turn-of-the-century New Jersey home and studio in 2006.
His latest film, which will debut later this year, is titled "Swann Song," and chronicles 93-year-old New York City actress Elaine Swann's ongoing quest for stardom.
Messick's photography also has been exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History in Washington D.C., and the Museum of Modern Art in
New York and is among the permanent collections at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas, and the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.
His documentaries, meanwhile, have been the subject of articles in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Washington Post, ARTnews Magazine, Folk Art Magazine, Esquire and the website Gizmodo.
"Being written about by major publications or featured at formidable institutions is at the top of any artist's list of accomplishments, but being recognized by the legislature in your home state is in a different category," Messick said this week. "It's an acknowledgement of my work unlike anything I've ever experienced and I'm truly humbled."

Event will take place Saturday, May 25
With the weather heating up more and more activities are heading outdoors. One event will be taking place outside for a good cause at Franklin Field Saturday, May 25 with Family Fun day.
The event, which will begin at 11 a.m., will offer numerous activities like a dunk tank, bounce house (wet and dry), face painting by ABS Balloon and a bake sale. There will also be a horseshoe competition. The cost to take part in the competition is $15. Five dollars of the cost will go into the winner's pot. The other $10 will go to help Taft High senior volleyball player Ashley Ramos' trip to Europe to play with the USA elite volleyball team for the world tournament.
Proceeds from Family Fun Day will go to paying Ramos' trip. Four thousand dollars have been raised and that was used to make the final payment for Ramos to take part. Now she needs to raise money for the airplane ride to New York and hotel and some meals that won't be covered by the program.
For more information about the event, contact Danielle at 932-6034.

Public Meeting
01/02/2018 18:10:00......Posted by Helen Pollard
A public meeting had been arranged in St Michael's Church Hall on Poplar Walk. I sat on the panel of councillors who took questions about issues of interest to the audience. There was particular interest in planning and street cleaning.
Bins not collected on Woodstock Road
26/04/2018 21:13:00.......Posted by Elizabeth Agyepong
Many of residents have tried contacting the Council to get this sorted but have hit brick walls time after time.
This is completely unacceptable.
We have raised it as a matter of urgency with those in charge and will continue to fight for the road to be cleared.
Setting up a Residents' Association for Vita Apartments
25/04/2018 21:10:00.......Posted by Ben Joce
Last night we spoke to many residents in Vita Apartments and we were told about a number of recurring issues in the building. Most prominent among them the recurring problems with the lifts.
While it may be understandable that they will break from time to time, the frequency and the length of time to organise repairs should not be tolerated.
Whilst many in the block may be contacting the management company individually, nothing helps speed up resolution better than a residents' association. We therefore suggested that they consider setting up a residents' group so that they can more easily organise to liaise with the management company over issues affecting all residents.
We have a great deal of experience in this area, and so we've invited residents to a meeting with local councillors to discuss what the benefits are of setting one up and how they might go about doing it.
If you would like to attend, come along to the foyer of Vita Apartments at 7pm on Monday 30th April.
Ruskin Square
24/04/2018 21:34:00.......Posted by Helen Pollard
Spent the evening meeting residents living in the apartment blocks around Ruskin Square. Many people are new to the area and it was good to get a fresh perspective from them about their views on living in Croydon. Picked up a few issues which I will follow up.

Out meeting residents in Old Town and I was surprised at how much flytipping there was in the area. The various piles of rubbish were reported to the Council to clear.
Victory for Citiscape residents
20/04/2018 16:48:00.......Posted by Philip Smith
As a resident of the Citiscape building, it is very welcome news that Barratt Developments have been persuaded to pay for the fire safety related costs thus relieving Citiscape's leaseholders of the burden of paying and, most importantly, ensuring their homes will be made safe.
This would not have happened without the huge collective efforts of everyone in the building, those leading the Residents' Group and local representatives. I would personally like to thank them for their tireless campaigning and dedication.
The other local Council candidates and I have been raising the issues of Citiscape safety with the Prime Minister's Chief of Staff and the Secretary of State as we sought to achieve the right result for all concerned.
We have been clear from the beginning that building owners in the private sector should not pass on the costs of essential cladding replacement to leaseholders. Labour representatives have called on the Government to fund the works using taxpayer money, ultimately still our money - we have always disagreed with this approach.
As someone who lives in the building, I am well aware of the stress that this ordeal has caused. If elected to represent Fairfiedl on May 3rd I will continue to champion matters impacting the building namely intercom issues and lift work that continues to have an effect on residents.
Thank you again for all those who worked to raise the profile on this issue, particularly to the Residents Association – it really wouldn't have happened without them.
Housing Secretary, Sajid Javid, today (Thursday 19 April) welcomed the decision from property developers Barratt Developments to pay for fire safety related costs in a building they developed, relieving the building's leaseholders of this burden and ensuring that the building will be made safe.
Leaseholders living in the Citiscape development in Croydon were told at a residents' meeting tonight (Thursday 19 April) of Barratt Developments' decision. The company have said they will cover future and backdated costs relating to employing a fire warden and the removal and replacement of unsafe cladding from this building.
Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy, Government acted swiftly to establish a comprehensive Building Safety Programme. This included identifying buildings with unsafe cladding and providing guidance to building owners.
From the outset Sajid Javid has been clear that building owners in the private sector should follow the lead of the social housing sector and not pass on the costs of essential cladding replacement to leaseholders.
Government has been in discussions with private sector landlords and developers directly, including Barratt Developments, regarding this matter.
Sajid Javid, said:
"I applaud Barratt Developments' decision to cover the costs of fire safety works. They have listened to the concerns of Citiscape residents, engaged with Government and have done the right thing.
"Other building owners and developers in the private sector should follow the example set by Barratt Developments to protect leaseholders from costs and begin essential fire safety works. I want to see all leaseholders in this position get the peace of mind they deserve and I am keeping this under review."
Chatsworth Road
18/04/2018 21:27:00.......Posted by Helen Pollard
Attended the AGM of the Chatsworth Road Residents' Association. It was good to meet them and to hear about the issues in the area. Will follow up a few isses that were raised in the meeting.
It has been great working with Erbil and the other residents and I will miss working them when my term as Fairfield Councillor ends in May. Nevertheless, it is good to see that the Residents' Association is working so hard to preserve the character of the area and to keep the community spirit going.
Chatsworth Road
10/04/2018 17:34:00.......Posted by Helen Pollard
Spent a pleasant evening meeting the residents of the Chatsworth Road area. They have concerns about council tax, insensitive building and the lack of progress with the redevelopment of our town centre.
Park Hill Park and Lloyd Park
09/04/2018 17:30:00.......Posted by Helen Pollard
Met with senior council officers and representatives from the Friends of Park Hill Park to discuss how the masterplan for the park will be implemented. I have been asking the council to refurbish the toilets in the park for four years, and they still have not done anything about it. I hope they are now on track to make this happen. We also dicsussed the maintenance of the pavillion and other park improvements.
The Council officers will also meet with the Friends of Lloyd Park to discuss how they will implement the Lloyd Park masterplan.
Labour's lost parks
01/04/2018 09:01:00.......Posted by Helen Pollard
One of the parks that Labour has failed to protect in the Local Plan is St James Memorial Garden on Sydenham Road. It is a shame that our precious green spaces are now vulnerable to development. Even in the overcast weather yesterday, it is still an oasis of calm in our busy town.
Resident victory over club in Q-Park basement
29/03/2018 20:44:00.......Posted by Ben Joce
As you may be aware the Croydon Council recently received a licensing application to open a pop-up bar and live music venue under residential block, Bridge House, in the basement area of the Q-Park, off Charles Street. Many of you wrote to the Council expressing your opposition to this application which would have meant the venue opening at 9pm and will closing at 11pm on most weekdays and 4am on weekends.
I would firstly like to say thank you to the over 100 local residents who signed the petition. Many residents were rightly concerned about the impact this would have on their lives and were thankful for the support that was received.
The application was recently heard by the Councils licensing committee, which many of you attended and spoke at. Cllr Vidhi Mohan and I were also at the meeting to oppose the application on behalf of residents. Though the applicant was granted a licence, we are pleased to announce that the plans have been significantly modified to reduce the adverse impact on local residents. These include:
The operators articulated the function of the venue based on the changes that they have submitted to the licencing application. We welcomed the changes that they put forward and whole-heartedly encourage the use of venue community and cultural initiatives which they outlined. Croydon town centre needs such venues that enhance the local community but take into account any impact on local residents.
Once the venue opens, we will monitor the situation to ensure it has no adverse impacts and they adhere to the restrictions as set out in the granted licence. Local residents should please feel free to contact us if they want to discuss any concerns they may still have with this or any other issues in the local area.

They evaluated their last season and started planning their future. The team discussed what their favorite part of robotics is and they were evenly divided between designing, programming and competition.
The Watonwan 4H Robotics Team completed their first competition on Saturday, Feb. 23 at Sanford Middle School in Minneapolis. There were 25 teams competing divided into two divisions.
The team consists of youth from around the county with two third graders, two fourth graders, two fifth graders and two sixth graders.
The team coach Nathan Ruhlig, with assistance from Shannon Sykes and Jamie Quiring worked with a group of youth who did not know each other, weekly starting in November and built them into a working team. At their competition they placed fourth in the core values category.
Some of the commentsfrom the judge's sheet were:
"Team is enthusiastic and fun; clear identity."
"Good balance between team responsibility and coach guidance."
"Good communication for such a large team"
The team also won the Innovative Design Award for their division. This award was presented to the team best demonstrating its ability to use a creative design, component, or unique strategy of play for the most original approach to solving the Missions.
"This team mounted motors vertically to raise the NXT brick so they could mount the attachment motor very low on the robot," said coach Ruhlig. "The motors also served as a part of the robot structure."
On Monday, March 11, the team met for a pizza party in celebration of their successful season.
They evaluated their last season and started planning their future. The team discussed what their favorite part of robotics is and they were evenly divided between designing, programming and competition.
They also discussed what life skills they thought Robotics would teach them and they came up with computer skills, competitive skills—dealing with success and failure, and teamwork.
Nick, Ian, and Cole all commented that the competition was fun, not too serious, and a chance to meet new people.
Michael's favorite part was the tournament with the challenge of competing plus seeing all the different robots. Mark thought that winning the Most Innovative Design Award was exciting. And Gavin thought it was a great and interesting experience to go to their first competition.
Coach Ruhlig thought it was neat seeing youth from different towns and different grades come together and use their different strengths and talents to create a working team. The team score was one of their highest placing. Ruhlig is looking forward to seeing what the team will accomplish or build on for next season.

I hesitated to tell you what happened last Wednesday for fear of blowing my cover and revealing myself as a Complete and Total Idiot but then I remembered how long I've been posting now. I'm sure you've all discovered my mental state many moons ago and I'm in little danger of revealing anything new.
I was on a mission to Fred Meyer, our local grocery/super store, to pick up a few things. As always I had Lillian by my side and as we walked through the parking lot and into the store I noticed a man in a wheelchair just inside.
To give you the full picture, he was probably 45 years old but looked closer to 70. His hair was gone, his scalp splotchy and crusted, and his bony, knobby fingers had yellowed nails that hadn't been trimmed in months and tapered to claw-like talons. Hidden behind thick lenses, his watery eyes gazed off to the side while his weak head lolled on his shoulder and he seemed only to have the strength to manipulate his electric wheelchair. He didn't look as if he had much longer to live and would be lucky to make it out of the store. The point is, if you didn't feel some sympathy and pity you'd have to be made of stone I tell you.
He was parked in front of a display of magazines as if he were having problems. He didn't seem to have the strength to lift his arm let alone pick up a magazine and I was just wondering if I should ask him if he needed some help when a store employee who seemed to know him approached and struck up a conversation.
"Oh, I guess he's taken care of," I thought with a touch of relief. Though I have good intentions, I don't always act as smooth and gracious as I'm aiming for and though I didn't want to ignore someone who might need help I worried about offending him by assuming he could use a hand and honestly, he was a little scary-looking.
So Lillian and I went happily through the store, grabbing the things we needed, filling our cart and finishing through the check-out lane. It was only a few minutes later when we were pushing the cart out the sliding doors and down the concrete ramp to the parking lot when there, in the middle of everything, was the same guy. He was completely still and given the fact that he was sitting there in the middle of the parking lot I made the assumption (and this wins the Nobel prize for genius) that he probably needed some help.
Wanting to do the right thing but a bit nervous I approached him. It wasn't hard as he was in the way, wasn't going anywhere and I couldn't get to my car without going around him. Remembering all those Good Samaritan lessons I'd heard over the years I got up the courage to timidly ask, "Um. Do you need any help?"
I couldn't hear his answer so I got a little closer. "Yes!" He said in a raspy, broken voice.
Relieved that I hadn't misjudged the situation I said, "What can I do?"
"Light my pipe."
Startled I said, "What?"
"Light my pipe," he repeated with a bit of a sneer as if I were stupid and at which point I noticed that grasped in one claw was a red pipe and hanging out of his jacket pocket was a lighter.
I don't know what I was expecting, maybe a request to push him to his car, to be taken inside, to make a phone call, whatever, but not this. If you don't know me you may not realize what a sheltered life I've led. I've never smoked, don't like it, and haven't the faintest idea how to light a pipe--though it seems pretty intuitive--but in that micro-second I had all these quick thoughts:
"Oh my gosh, he wants me to light his pipe . . . I don't really approve of smoking . . . but I asked him if he needed help . . . I can't back out now . . . what do I do??" It seemed pretty rotten when he was in such bad shape to just leave him with a lecture about the health concerns of smoking--I was guessing that smoking was the least of his problems--so I reached for his lighter and weakly flicked it a couple times. At least I know how those work.
I figured I was supposed to hold the flame at the bowl so that's what I did, and in a second there was smoke coming up but just as I put the lighter back in his pocket the smoke reached my nose and I was hit by "OH MY GOSH THAT'S NOT TOBACCO SMOKE!"
Great Googly-Moogly I'd just lit a bong. At least I think it was a bong. Maybe it was a bong. Okay I'm not entirely sure what a bong is, I'll have to look it up but that wasn't your regular old tobacco smoke coming from that little red pipe. I, who'd never smoked in my life, had just (in front of my daughter no less) lit up some guy's weed. Great. Just great. Holy Cow. To anyone's observation I was standing in the middle of the Fred Meyer parking lot pushing drugs on a poor invalid with a preschooler in tow. I looked nervously over my shoulder expecting to see the entire church congregation staring at me.
He didn't even say thanks and I left him sitting there with it in his hand as I rushed to get the groceries in the car, afraid he'd next ask me to hold it to his lips or help him inhale. I did a quick panic, wondering if I'd broken the law or anything. "No, no," I thought. "I'm pretty sure that it's legal to smoke for medicinal purposes. And if that guy isn't a poster child for the nearly-dead I don't know what is." I figured I was safe from any jury but nonetheless I objected on general moral principles.
So there I was, trying to be a Good Samaritan, going around helping guys in wheel chairs smoke drugs. In the middle of the Fred Meyer parking lot. With Fruit Loops in my cart and my daughter watching it all go down. I could visualize the headlines: "Felony Amid the Fruitloops: Housewife Gets Seven to Ten." If there's a Stupid Prize I'd win--whoever said "No good deed goes unpunished" should have met me, I'd give them something to think about.
What in the world should I tag this post with? I can't think of anything I'd want the search engines to read--maybe I should have titled it "Come on Baby Light My Fire."
Congratulations to Angela from Bryan, Texas for winning The Paper Princess stationery and pen set from the last Saturday Giveaway. Join me next Saturday for another random drawing--it's going to be good I guarantee. This time I've got two prizes . . .

Brendan Taylor Named CBZ Bank Cricketer Of The YearWednesday, 30 November 2011 09:47 Published in Press Release
National men's team captain Brendan Taylor was named the CBZ Cricketer of the year at the annual CBZ Bank Zimbabwe Cricket Awards 2011 on Monday night. He scooped another top accolade, the Croco Motors Batsman of the year, while Keegan Meth was named the South African Airways Bowler of the year.
Brendan Taylor played three Test matches in the 2010/11 season, scoring 358 runs at an average of 71.6 runs with his highest score being 117 in the Test match against New Zealand at Queens Sports Club, making that his second century for the season. His highest score in ODIs was an unbeaten 145 against South Africa in 2010. From the 27 ODI matches he has played, Taylor scored a total of 1096 runs at an average of 45.66 with four centuries in the process.
New kid on the block, Brian Vitori got two awards on the night; he was named the Tour Africa Rookie of the year and the Interfin Bank Most promising cricketer of the year. Vitori made his international cricket debut in August 2011 in Zimbabwe's return match to Test cricket against Bangladesh in Harare. From just two Test matches has claimed five wickets at an average of 48 runs –with a personal best of four wickets for 66 runs in the match. He took two consecutive five wicket hauls from his debut ODI matches against Bangladesh, as a result Zimbabwe won both matches and ultimately won the series 3-2.
Matabeleland Tuskers walked away as the most decorated franchise of the year after being accorded the title as the Castle Franchise team of the year and the Best administered franchise award. They also had the official hand over of the Castle Logan Cup title and had two of their team members winning awards as well. Team coach Dave Houghton was named the Afdis Coach of the year while, as mentioned above, Keegan Meth is the bowler of the year.

Masakadza and Taylor off to BangladeshTuesday, 15 January 2013 06:35 Published in Press Release
Zimbabwe openers Brendan Taylor and Hamilton Masakadza fly out of Harare on Tuesday evening for the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka.
The two have been contracted by Bangladeshi teams to play in that country's Twenty20 Premier League.
Taylor will play for the Chittagong Kings, while Masakadza will play for Sylhet Royals.
At the Kings, captained by Bangladesh international Mahmudullah, the Zimbabwe skipper will join other overseas players such as Ryan Ten Doeschate of the Netherlands, Jacob Oram of New Zealand, Wahab Riaz of Pakistan and Shaun Tait of Australia.
Masakadza's side is led by Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim who will also keep wicket and contribute in the middle order with the bat.
"I was hoping that Tino Best and Andre Russell would be there so that I get a headstart in acquainting myself again with Caribbean opposition ahead of the forthcoming tour to the West Indies," said Masakadza.
The Zimbabwe top-order batsman will have to be content with sizing up West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Smith, who is part of the Royals' foreign contingent that includes Dirk Nannes of Australia and Paul Stirling, the 22-year old Ireland opening batsman.
Although the final of the Bangladesh Premier League is on the 18th of next month, both Masakadza and Taylor have said they will respond to the call for national duty if they are included in the Zimbabwe travelling squad to the West Indies.
"The national team always comes first and so there is no doubt that we will make it in time for the West Indies," said Taylor before his departure tonight.
The Zimbabwe squad is set to leave Harare on the 16th of next Monday for London, en route to the West Indies where Zimbabwe will play two Twenty20 International matches, three One-Day Internationals and two Test matches against the hosts.

Posted on January 18, 2013
Got a case of bee squeezers this week. I guess I've had donations which included bee squeezers before, but a whole case…I was rather disappointed to find that some of the bee squeezers had been removed and replaced with filler made by other brands.
I have always loved jargon. A retired middle manager from a sash-and-door company held me riveted once by telling me about the door people would order as WP/YPS&R, which stood for White Pine Panels with Yellow Pine Stiles and Rails. And I offended a world-famous botanist by reading a sentence from a guidebook that I understood not a word of but which I said rolled like true poetry.
"I can tell you what that MEANS," he said, sounding a bit edgy.
"No, no," I said. "Don't spoil the magic."
One or two of you, therefore, may be wondering why I am making such a fuss about this estate I got in from a fanatic cardplayer. The Bee Playing Cards were known the world over, billed as the finest cards ever made for poker. (The design on the back was supposedly very hard to mark: accidentally or intentionally.) And they were very proud of their Squeezer decks, manufactured to make them easier to hold in the hand (You squeezed the lower corners together, you see.)
Note to younger generation: playing cards are like those things you use in your computer solitaire games except they were printed on bits of plasticized paper. There was a front and a back on each card, and you turned them over by hand, not by clicking a mouse. Mice didn't click much in those days; on Christmas Eve they didn't even stir.
I have written elsewhere about how I sell people's dreams. It is clear from this collection that this man and his wife dreamed about consistent conquest in a game called Bridge. In the days of unclicking mice, this was less a game than a religion among a major part of the population. (There are still large colonies of these people scattered throughout the world.) A real disciple, like this one, could find nearly as many products to improve their game as an avid golfer finds now: a pre-computer machine called the Autobridge, cards with the bridge points printed on them, and lots of books. Every newspaper worth its salt featured a bridge column, and the true devotee clipped these. The hands played by the experts, from Ely Culbertson to Omar Sharif, were studied in the same way chess fans pore over classic games by Spassky and golfers discuss how Arnie handled that wicked third hole at Strawberry Point.
This collection has all of that, plus a half dozen decks of Bicycle cards, another half dozen of decks from country clubs and resorts, and about a dozen, of course, of these Bee Squeezers. It must all be dispersed, of course: no bridge fanatic buys cards, tallies, and clippings of another. They all like to build up their own accumulations. And who is left from those parties where so many followers of the art gathered that 24 decks of cards were required?
I could take it all home and try to learn the game myself, of course. I understand one of the players is a dummy. I could handle that, in between bouts of bee squeezing.

The Tongue IS Mightier Than The Sword!January 30, 2011 at 00:55 | Posted in ancestry, Bits and Pieces, Current Events, family history, genealogy, Political Opinions, Spiritual Walk | 1 Comment
Tags: ancestors, conservatives, conservator, famiglia, family, family history, family research, genealogy, jealousy, love of family, memories, Peace, politics, ramblings
This is another one of those posts that isn't sure where it belongs. It is alternating positions from genealogy to politics to religion and back again. I wouldn't be surprised if some of your dear readers (all 1 or 2 of you) could not make it fit elsewhere! Within the families I research there were at various times several family feuds taking place. Seems someone managed to find a reason to be distrustful or even downright hateful over someone or something else. This amongst families who prided themselves on being "god-fearing" decent folks! Consequently researching those families at times I am met with a branch pruned off our tree when it should still be flourishing.
Back on my honeymoon I had a missed opportunity to take a photograph of a family member – an elderly person so I should have known better. Foolishly I thought I would have another opportunity but of course that did not happen. I not only did not get that photograph, no one recalled her correct name. Were there valid reasons for the family rift? Sure. Was it worth not keeping family together? No. Thanks to younger generations learning that painful lesson, we are all benefitting from reuniting the family. I was blessed to have someone find me on a social networking site and even sharing photographs with me. Cousins are getting to reunite and getting to meet newer family members. It's nice.
One of the other families has a member who took off for an adventure. They never wrote home again or called. Several of us are looking for that person – we have been for a couple years now. No trace, no mentions anywhere. It's as if they never lived. It is hard to understand why they no longer wanted family. Stranger still that family did not try to keep connected with them because no one could point to a specific problem. Even the family stories never included a remark about this person. Just gone?
One family member decided to marry someone not approved of by the parents for the odd reason of being from another town. "Those" people weren't as "good". Or some such foolishness. The marriage lasted through the birth of several children and well into their eighties. Theirs was an incredible love story when men were not so openly professing their devotion to their wives. They stand holding hands in the only known photograph taken just before his death.
I have unfortunately also seen family feuds amongst the church family. Back a few generations most family members didn't have the option of leaving one church to go to another one. Here in America rural communities usually had one Protestant or one Catholic church. Later there would be more choices and larger cities would also offer others. In Italy most towns only had one parish priest and one church so folks learned to get along or not attend. Sadly now churches seem to splinter frequently or people jump from church to church each time something or someone upsets them. Further those disagreements often take very public and very messy turns especially when the preacher or priest is involved in the disagreement!
And then we come to those public families such as blogs or politics. Nothing sets me on edge, teeth jarring, nerves screeching like fingernails scraping on a blackboard like flame wars on blogs. How is it we can all find ways to banter and chat on a forum, everyone getting along even as they may disagree about problems and solutions until some unknown spark sets off a maelstrom of epic proportions? Suddenly one poster will call out another and off everyone goes huffing and puffing. Name-calling is usually only the least of it. Worse are the threats to drag someone through a "Joe the Plumber" scenario. Google bombs are created to publically harass and humiliate. If Google isn't enough we can then also subject them to YouTube recordings to live forever in the bowels of the Internet. Some have even had the distinction of driving weaker victims to suicide via the social network. I personally love to read all sorts of blogs and follow all sort of political viewpoints. I tend to lean conservative on most issues but thanks to incidents within my own life, I often understand and even (Horrors! Gasp!) agree with some liberal views also. The last election cycle was a wonder to behold. Members of the conservative family have taken great delight in devouring their own young. The slightest difference of opinion has no room for acceptance.
Granted sometimes we have valid reasons to walk away from a loved one or family member. I just wish we would try to find it in our collective hearts to think long and hard before we say or do things that amount to pruning that branch off the tree. Admittedly I am not a super green thumb but I have learned one lesson over time. When you carelessly whack off branches too aggressively without care or in the wrong season, the tree dies. Soon that branch rots where it was pruned and the whole tree trunk is infected and dies.
Perhaps it was best said long ago – "The tongue is mightier than the sword."

This Crysis 2 Product Page on EA.com has a link to the game on Origin using a "buy now" button that says "only on Origin." In keeping with that there is a discussion on the Steam Users' Forums about how the first-person shooter sequel is no longer available on Valve's online service. On the other hand, as noted in sflufan's NeoGAF post, as of this writing the game is still for digital distribution on Amazon, Direct2Drive, GamersGate, and Impulse, so we'll have to keep an eye on them. It is also noted that Alice: Madness Returns is likewise not available on Steam, but is on other services, so perhaps there's some sort of Steam/Origins turf war brewing. Thanks nin via Kotaku.
