(Surat al-Anfal, 8:11) Human beings make mistakes throughout their lives. No doubt, believers make every effort to avoid such mistakes and strive not to commit them by living according to Allah's religion. This fact is related in the Qur'an, as follows: If Allah were to take mankind to task for what they have earned, He would not leave a single creature crawling on it; but He defers them until a specified time. Then, when their time comes, Allah sees His servants! (Surah Fatir, 35:45) In compliance with this divine command, sincere believers are not expected to be infallible or sinless; rather, they are expected to seek Allah's pleasure, abide by the limits that He has established for them, turn to Allah in repentance, and take refuge in His mercy. As the Qur'an informs, Allah will purify them, for Allah "desires to remove all impurity from His servants." This is related in the following verse: ... Allah desires to remove all impurity from you, O People of the House, and to purify you completely. (Surat al-Ahzab, 33:33) Although a person may have committed great sins, rebelled against Allah, and lived by principles that are utterly contrary to Allah and His religion, Allah is so compassionate that He may purify those of His servants who sincerely repent. Furthermore, Allah informs us that He may even purify and forgive unbelievers and hypocrites who have fought Him and His religion if they ever turn to Him with a sincere heart. One verse reads: The hypocrites are in the lowest level of the Fire. You will not find anyone to help them. Except those who repent, put things right, hold fast to Allah, and dedicate their religion to Allah alone; they are with the believers. Allah will give the believers an immense reward. (Surat an-Nisa', 4:145-46) These words are manifestations of Allah's infinite mercy toward His servants. Clearly, only He can purify His servants from idolatry, evil, and spiritual uncleanliness. Allah is the most compassionate of the Compassionate. Fri 28 Jan 201118178 تعليقات (0)أضف تعليقك تعليقات

KFC really wants to make "couchgating" one of America's newest favorite pastimes before football games.
So much so, in fact, that the fast food chain trademarked the name and became the "official sponsor of couchgating."
The practice is kind of similar to tailgating, except you don't get off your couch. Or stop eating KFC ... otherwise you're just "couching."
This marketing push is a part of KFC's promotion for its Gameday Bucket, which is made up of eight pieces of chicken, eight hot wings, and 10 original recipe bites. The chain is making a big social media push as well (hashtag #couchgating, of course), and DraftFCB released a funny ad explaining the complex concept:

I'm briefly back home in Hawaii and am preparing to fly to Central America to begin a National Geographic expedition to explore seamounts off the coast of Costa Rica. With the large amount of travel I'm doing these days I'm very much beginning to feel like Jules Verne's famous character Phileas Fogg from "Around the World in Eighty Days."
First, let me backtrack; we've been talking about a story on seamounts for many years and have made a number of trips: beginning in the Sea of Cortez, and more recently including a trip in early 2011 to Raja Ampat, Indonesia and later to the Cortes bank off the coast of California. Seamounts are underwater volcanoes — some extinct, some still active — whose size and expanse can rival the Rocky Mountains. They are unique for their biodiversity which rival that of any coral reef system. Many endemic species (species unique to a specific geography) — as well as species new to science — have been found around seamounts, so they provide a significant opportunity for study.
My good friend and world-renowned underwater photographer Brian Skerry will be co-leading this trip with me; together, we hope to paint a compelling picture of these unique systems. Our team will also include Dr. Larry Madin from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution; Dr. Peter Auster from the University of Connecticut; Alan Dynner from the New England Aquarium; and Mike Velings, a Dutch entrepreneur and founder of the Netherlands-based "A-Spark – Good Ventures," a company focused on environmentally-friendly business models.
Our destination is Cocos Island, which is found 300 miles [483 kilometers] southwest of Cabo Blanco in Costa Rica. In 1994, Jacques Cousteau called it the "most beautiful island in the world." In order to get there we will be travelling on the Argo, a 130-foot [40-meter] vessel that includes both deep-diving submersibles and ROV (remotely operated vehicles), which we'll use to help us explore the surrounding seamounts and to hopefully better understand these systems.
I'm very excited to reach Costa Rica and to begin this final chapter of our seamounts adventure. The final story will come to fruition later in 2012 in National Geographic Magazine. I look forward to providing another blog update during the expedition to let you know how things are going — stay tuned!

An Earlham education emphasizes preparation — not only for successful careers, but also for lives of purpose and meaning. From their first days on campus, students are well prepared for the many paths available to them following graduation, and leave campus confident that they will succeed in whichever paths they choose. Some immediately focus their passions toward a career, while a large number enroll in top graduate programs. Others embark on service experiences in the Peace Corps and other volunteer organizations.
Whatever the path, Earlhamites are prepared to look beyond themselves and engage the world in all of its complexity. Our alumni are confident people of action, who strive to make positive differences in the world. Earlham has prepared them to be life-long learners — years after graduation, they are still asking big questions and seeking their own answers.
"For the last 15 years I have been doing diversity, anti-discrimination and intercultural training and consulting. My clients are global, and I have worked on projects in more than 30 countries" says Melissa Lamson '91 .
Ken Edgett '87 is a senior research scientist at Malin Space Science Systems and the principal investigator for the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity, which touched down on the Red Planet on Aug. 6, 2012.
Annalee Flower Horne '08 has found a professional home on Capitol Hill. Having an interest in public service and policy, and in making the world a better place," she's a staff assistant for Congressman Peter Stark (D- California).
The list of Earlham's "remarkable" alumni is a who's who of international leaders, scientific researchers, business owners, writers and artists, but we find one recurring similarity throughout the list. Whether it's in or out of the spotlight, about 30 percent of graduates surveyed reported that most or all of their work was oriented to social change.
Earlham ranks 29th among 1,306 U.S. institutions of higher learning for the percentage of graduates who go on to earn a Ph.D., a statistic especially remarkable given Earlham's size. Several academic programs receive particular attention for their success in preparing students for post-baccalaureate education.

New Handguns from 2014 SHOT Show
If there was a theme among handgun manufacturers at the 2014 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, it had to be the trend toward smaller semi-autos. That's not to say new full-size handguns were in short supply. On the contrary, Glock introduced a new full-sized pistol and CZ launched a full-sized polymer semi-auto, as well. A few gun companies like Smith & Wesson and Ruger even put out new revolvers for those who prefer the style and function of a wheel gun.
Many of this year's "new" models were simply redesigns of current models with a new feature or two to make them more comfortable in the hand and in the pocket. Some were simply scaled-down versions of existing larger models. A few manufacturers, Remington and Glock, for example, did introduce brand-new pocket-friendly semi-automatics. Both new offerings were a hit among the crowds walking the SHOT Show floor. Here's a look at some of the new offerings for 2014.

Experiencing the Dart River Fun Yak safari
Drifting down through the wilderness of Mt Aspiring National Park. A chance to 'touch' nature.
1 / 4
When I was in Queenstown last winter skiing I took a day off to create some 'Father / Daughter' time. Daughter being seventeen I currently have little in common with her and the thought of getting into the wilderness and away from facebook and cell phones had strong appeal.
The trip starts at Glenorchy, about an hour's drive from Queenstown. You follow the lake side all the way and stop when you reach the head of the lake. Half way there you round Bennetts Bluff and the Southern Alps are laid out in front of you. The drive is worth it in itself and leaves you in little doubt why Peter Jackson used this backdrop in all his Middle Earth movies.
Remembering it was winter and snow was thick on the peaks we were pretty concerned at how we would fare in the river. I had promised my daughter that the wet suits would be thick and warm and she wouldn't feel a thing. All while crossing my fingers behind my back! Christian our guide certainly set out to sort that one. There were six of us and he handed us layer after layer of wet suit, booties and polypropylene tops and leggings to the point we were stripping down and hadn't even left. In addition he gave us a dry bag which as you can see from the pictures worked well and secured my camera and insect repellant all the way.
So the six Michelin folks happily piled into a jet boat and away we went across the lake and up the long braided Dart River. We travelled for an hour or so upriver and as we did so the river narrowed, the forest closed in on both sides and the mountains rose above us. It was quite magical, being still early winter morning, the light was still only on the snowy peaks.
It was here the sit back and cruise side of the day was terminated and we jumped out onto the river bank to join Christian beside our inflated 'funyaks'. Kind of a cross between a raft and a kayak. With two in each we then set out drifting down a side braid of the river away from the jet boats, so it was quiet, at our own pace. It is certainly a team effort paddling hard and catching up with Christian. Enjoyable and empowering I realized as we worked our way downriver.
Just before noon we pulled up and with a small scramble launched ourselves into a side stream called the Rockburn. It was here we had lunch (yummy and heaps of) and handled some greenstone which the early Māori travelled here for (very heavy) and took a short walk through the bush. Michelin men don't make good walkers!
Then we launched and paddled into the Rockburn chasm. The pictures speak to this. This is undoubtedly my highlight of the trip. A little scary as we charged in first until it opens up about midway. This really is where you become aware that you are the skipper of your fun yak day. It's a 'you did it' kind of a feeling, which I think looking around the whole group took away with them.
From there we 'shot the rapids' (grade one maybe) and paddled down to meet our bus home at Paradise along the main stream of the river. The movie scenes were pointed out and you run past the isolated and very gracious Arcadia station as you head back to Glenorchy, change and then off to Queenstown.
While the chasm's are a predictable highlight for me the reason to get in a Funyak is to get involved with nature. You are the captain of your ship and it's your trip. You get into some amazing country and while the adventure quotient is low, makes it great for families, the environmentally involved factor is at an all time high.

Personalised Cherished Number Plates
Since their humble beginning in 1903, cherished numbers have continued to increase in popularity often adding the finishing touch to our prized possessions and very often prove to be a valuable investment.
The First Number Plate Ever Issued
A1 assigned in 1903
The Motor Car Act 1903, which came into force on 1 January 1904, required all motor vehicles to be entered on an official vehicle register, and to carry number plates. The Act was passed in order that vehicles could be easily traced in the event of an accident or contravention of the law. Vehicle registration number plates in the UK are rectangular or square in shape, with the exact permitted dimensions of the plate and its lettering set down in law.
You can find out where your personalised registration number plate was originally issued here.
In fact, when the DVLA issues a car's registration plate, they actually follow a very distinct system.
While it may look like a random combination, a number plate can actually tell you how old the car is and where it was registered.
A new format for registrations was introduced in September 2001, meaning all cars registered after that date would have their number plate made up of three parts.
How to tell where the car is from
The first section of a number plate is the local memory tag – the first two letters of the plate.
This identifies where the vehicle was registered, and is itself broken down into two parts.
The first letter stands for the local area, for example E denotes Essex, while L stands for London.
The plate's second letter then identifies at which DVLA office in that area the registration took place – multiple letters can signify the same DVLA office.
How anyone can tell how old your car is just by looking at it
The two numbers in the middle of your plate identify how old the car is.
The DVLA issues two lots of number plate combinations each year on March and September 1st.
All plates issued between the 1 March and the end of August will use the same two numbers as the year they are registered.
For example, a car registered in May 2017 would have "17".
Vehicles registered between September 1 and the end of February the following year, use a similar pattern of higher numbers.
When the format changed in 2001, this group of vehicles were identified differently by starting the labelling from "51" rather than "01".
Therefore this second lot of numbers will always be 50 plus the year the car was registered – so after 2010, the number starts with a 6.
For example, a vehicle registered in December 2009 will show "59" on its plate but December 2011 will be "61".
Is any of the plate random?
The final three letters of the number plate tend to be a random combination that make the registration unique.
But it's not uncommon for cars with neighbouring letter sequences to be from the same manufacturer, due to batch allocation of new registrations to dealers by the DVLA.
The letters "Q" and "I" are excluded from the random sequence, along with any phrases that are deemed offensive.
Using the current scheme, there will be a sufficient combinations to last until the end of February 2051.
What about registrations before September 2001?
From 1983 onward, licence plates used a leading single letter to represent the year of first registration.
The letter "A" was used in 1983, progressing through the alphabet, finishing with "Y" at the end of August 2001.
The rest of the characters on the plate were random.
Prior to 1983, the same system was used, but with the year letter at the end of the plate rather than the beginning.
A PETITION against a police chief's decision to sell the first number plate issued to the county has gathered over 850 signatures.
Retired police constable Alan Matthews started the online petition after he found out that the 'AB 1' licence plate was up for auction.
Police enthusiasts have lambasted the decision to sell the plate, which has traditionally been used on the staff cars of Worcestershire's Chief Constables.
West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) John Campion claims the sale will enable him to invest in frontline policing.
Mr Matthews, aged 69, who worked for West Mercia Police from 1985 to 1994, said: "It's a piece of police heritage that shouldn't be sold off.
"It was the original number that the chief had. I just think that there's other ways the PCC could save money.
"I'm getting quire ratty about it. When you have been in the police you see how much waste there is.
"It's a sad thing that people in the UK have so much history but don't think much of it."
Jon Cherry, the director of regplates.com, thinks the plate will sell for between £225,000 and £275,000.
He said: "We have sold similar plates recently at this level and the market for high quality original issue number 1 plates is very strong.
"The buyers of these are intent on having only the best and only this plate will suffice!"
Mr Campion said his priority is use the assets at his disposal to make West Mercia a safe place.
"The prospect of a chief constable or any public servant using a private number plate belongs in a time gone by, both for security reasons and public expectation," he said.
"Therefore a considered decision has been made to market 'AB 1' and any sale proceeds will be reinvested towards frontline policing in West Mercia."
He acknowledged the history behind the plate but said it had not been used for around six years.
A spokesman for Mr Campion said he was not selling anything else apart from the number plate.
Vehicle registration was introduced in 1903 and it is believed 'AB 1' was first issued to Worcestershire's Chief Constable Herbert Sutherland Walker in 1908.
Overseas territories
Some of the British overseas territories, including Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands, use similar number plates to the UK, with the same colours and typeface.
Fake number plates top the list of the many challenges the government and traffic police are going to face in implementing its clean-up plan for the Capital. According to norms, a number plate can be procured only from an authorised dealer and after producing the RC of the vehicle and other related documents.
However, when DNA accessed the black market, the reality seemed different. Shops providing fake registration number plates not only put on display a number of designs and styles but also did not bother to ask for document or ID proof.
"We have number plates starting from Rs 250 and the costliest is Rs 3,500. While the cheapest one has sticker digits, styles vary from stylish embossed fonts to illuminated digits with custom-made logos," said a dealer who owns a shop in Noida's sector 16 car market.
Another dealer, who has a shop in Connaught Place, says that a simple number plate would cost Rs 800 while a legal one with holograms can only be made after the customer provides transport authority's approval. "Last year, during the scheme, demand for fake number plates was high, the same is expected this year," he said.
When asked about the flourishing hidden business of fake registration number plates — which can lead to a severe national security threat — a senior traffic police officer said, "The only way this market can be curbed is to conduct raids on such shops and take legal action."
Price range
Rs 250 to 500 with sticker digits, simple, non-styled
Rs 500 to 1000 embossed stylish digits, custom made designs, change of language
Rs 1200 to 3500 number plates with fancy lights, golden silver design, change of fonts
Hidden Business
Shops at Connaught Place, Kashmere Gate, Karol Bagh and NCR provide fake number plates
Price range varies from Rs 250 to 3500 depending upon style
No vehicle-related document or ID proof required.
In 1989 a lot of these stored old models were registered in advance of legislation that required all new vehicles registered on or after 1 January 1990 to have catalytic converters fitted. This included vehicles held in storage and out of production for several years, in some cases five years or more. By the late 1990s, the range of available numbers was once again starting to run out, exacerbated by a move to biannual changes in registration letters (March and September) in 1999 to smooth out the bulge in registrations every August, so a new scheme needed to be adopted. It was decided to research a system that would be easier for crash or vehicle related crime witnesses to remember and clearer to read, yet still fit within a normal standard plate size.
ITP had launched a 15-day campaign for awareness among road users to remove unauthorised or non-patterned number plates from their vehicles and bikes.
The campaign was launched under the directions of Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, with the purpose to ensure high security alert, and maintain law and order situation in the capital.
The campaign will end after two days on April 15 after which strict legal action will be taken against drivers whose vehicles have non-patterned number plates.
All such number plates would be considered fake and a fine would be imposed on such vehicle owners. The Traffic SSP had sent letters to government and private organisations regarding this campaign. He also appealed that the citizens cooperate with ITP and display authorised number plates issued by Excise and Taxation Office.
Bidders allowed to purchase an unlimited number of private vehicle number plates in Kingdom's first ever public auction
Manama, Apr. 12 (BNA): The first public auction of private vehicle number plates will take place at 18:00 on 13 April at the Isa Sports City Hall D, adjacent to the Bahrain National Stadium.
The auction, organised by Mazad, will open for registration between 11:00 to 17:00 on 13 April. In line with the company's commitment to fairness and transparency, Mazad has announced that there will be a set amount of seats available for non-participating members of the public, which will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.
Mr Talal Arif Alaraifi, CEO of Mazad, stated that the fast track service opened to all interested parties generated a large amount of interest at all locations, including at the Notary Office, Gosi Commercial Complex, and the Bahrain Investors Centre in Bahrain Financial Harbour.
Mr Alaraifi also highlighted that all the necessary procedures have been put in place ahead of the auction, and that the successful preparation is a reflection of the wide-ranging stakeholder engagement that has been undertaken. Mr Alaraifi also noted that a separate office for issuing power of attorney will be allocated in the auction venue.
The CEO called on those wishing to participate in the auction to bring all necessary documentation to the venue, including ID cards, and to ensure they have signed the participation form. Mr Alaraifi noted that company owners can register in the name of their companies through individuals authorised by law, and provide original power of attorney documentation at the event.
Mr Al Araifi further noted that regardless of nationality, bidders registered to participate will be able to purchase an unlimited number of private vehicle number plates. Buyers must complete the payment process within ten days, and upon completion of payment will be provided with an official certificate of ownership and have the freedom to use and/or assign the private number plate.
It should be noted that the date denoted by a registration plate is the date a vehicle was first imported into the United Kingdom and registered with that registration system. For instance a vehicle manufactured in say 1991 and registered in Northern Ireland might have been given a 1993 registration letter when it was registered on the Swansea system. This also applies to vehicles imported from other countries. This is apparent by examining the registration document which will show a date of manufacture different from the date of first registration. The date of manufacture is notional, though, as vehicles may be manufactured and stored unused, for many years in some cases, and then registered as new when first registered into the system. This allows manufacturers to sell cars as new allowing for shipping, storing at dockyards etc.

NTSB Asks For Help In Deadly Grand Canyon Copter Crash
The NTSB is asking for help in their investigation into a deadly helicopter crash in Arizona. Air Safety Inspector Stephen Stein says investigators want to talk with anyone who may have seen the Papillon Airways chopper before it went down over the weekend in the Grand Canyon. Three British tourists were killed in the accident and four others injured. Investigators are taking a good look at the wreckage of the aircraft. Stein says specific components of the helicopter will be examined, along with archived radar data and pilot certification. He noted there were reports of some wind in the area, and there is evidence of a post crash fire.
There is a temporary flight restriction for the area, and flights could resume in the next few days.

QUEENS— The election for Queen's 6th Congressional District may be two months away, but Assemblywoman Grace Meng has already won the race to the bank.
Meng has raised over $1 million in her quest to become the first Asian American to represent New York in Congress.
Federal Election Comission filings from June 30, the most recent data available, show that Meng's campaign, Grace for New York, has raised $1,035,817.
Meng's republican opponent, city Councilman Daniel Halloran trails by a long margin. Halloran's campaign reports donations totaling only $18,915 as of June 30.
By contrast, outgoing Assemblyman Gary Ackerman, whom Meng is vying to replace, raised $1,109,041 during his entire 2010 re-election campaign. Meng is already close to breaking that mark.
Meng, who defeated three challengers in a June primary, is on a fundraising roll, as the campaign raised over $280,000 during the two week period between June 15 and June 30. Halloran raised $13,040 during the same period.
Halloran's campaign downplayed their disadvantage, as spokesman Steven Stites said that while they can't compete with Meng's money, the campaign would "raise enough to be competitive."
"Dan was outspent 5:1 in his Council race and won," Stites said, adding: "[Queens Rep.] Bob Turner got outspent in this district last year and won. Because folks are tired of Meng and Obama's failed policies that have doubled the debt without creating jobs."
Meng's campaign did not respond to requests for comment.

Mindless blasting on CD-i in Atlantis: The Last Resort (c)
>> Thursday, December 6, 2007
As a tribute to the loss of the CD-i Collective, Interactive Dreams puts up some reviews courtesy of Gir Draxa which are not available anymore at this time of writing (labeled with '(c)' of the CD-i Collective). Today, we start with the excellent Atlantis: The Last Resort. Atlantis was the codename and eventually commercial title for this very unique CD-i game first announced by the President of Philips Media Games, Dave McElhatten in Issue 16 of the UK based CDi Magazine in February 1996. The Atlantis project was described as a realtime 3D engine, it was the byproduct of some powerful debugging software developed by Philips Redhill. It's the one and only realtime first person shooter on CD-i, and something that a lot of people considered to be impossible to run on CD-i. Legendary Philips ADS proved the opposite, and Gir tells you why.
Oh man, its time to go on vacation. Where should we choose? Jurassic Park? No. Westworld? Nah. Spooky Island? Hmm... close.. but no. Hey, how about ATLANTIS? What could be better? Well, turns out almost anything would have been better. Monsters and robots have taken over the resort, and you're there to clean up the mess. Makes that Carn-evil place sound ok now don't it?
Most people thought the CD-i would never have gotten a first person shooter. In moves ATLANTIS: THE LAST RESORT. Trying, as many others did, to capitalize on the craze started by Doom and Castlewolfenstein, Atlantis tries to bring FPS gaming to CD-i. The result is one of mixed results.
One must give kudos to PHILIPS RESEARCH for bringing this to the CD-i as a full game. The engine that it runs on originaly appeared in the European Web-i update disc "CD-ONLINE #2" as RAM RAID with a few sample levels to play. Surprizingly very stable, despite running within the limited confines of the CD-i's memory. Still, the inital 'shock & awe' aside, this game has left ALOT to be desired.
This title boasts alot of 'ideas' that PRI was testing to see how they'd go over. The neatest was the ability to remove the game CD once the level was loaded and put in your favorite audio CD. A really nice bonus, but also can be a real drag as you need to switch back to the game disc if you complete a level.
However, since the in game music is VERY grating on some levels, it's almost a must to either change the CD, or mute the sound. Mute is probably the best option for long term gameplay. Don't worry if you mute it, the sparse creature sounds, and generic gunfire and death sound effects are NOTHING you'll miss.
Graphicly, this game tries its best to shovel in all it can, and still keep a reasonable frame-rate. Since the new CD sound technique was used in this one, everything had to be loaded into the limited memory of the CD-i (with DV cart memory), the result isn't what one would call great. Adaquate is about the best I'd say for it. Room textures and creatures done with a software 3-D rendering that really is pushed hard to do what it does... but what it shows is really low-res. Most enemies, even at a distance, start to pixel out badly. By the time they're up close, they're so badly pixelated that they're un-recognizable. Also, if you get more than a couple enemies on-screen at once, framerate starts dropping quick.
Mostly the graphics brought back memories of the Genesis title ZERO TOLLERANCE, another good game with good intentions, but ultimately disappointing visually due to the limitations imposed by the machine.
When it comes right down to it though, graphics and sound aside... gameplay is where you'll ultimately hit or miss. And this one misses by a mile. In an attempt to push every possible option in a FPS on to the 2 button CD-i controler, things got so muddled that often times, you're getting killed just by trying to side step, and suddenly you're firing a missle, or spinning around. If the hero were really this clumsy, he'd deserve to die.
To summarize, this game was a good start, but needed ALOT of refinement to get it to the level of real fun. The lack of alot of good enemies, the slowdown, frame-rate jitter and all the rest really sum up to a less than spectacular bit of fluff. Best as a showcase for what (with refinement) could have been in the next generation of FPS on CD-i.

First of all, I wish to thank those of you who are reading and commenting. Because you make the off-season much more tolerable.
Second of all, I very much want to thank those of you who give your opinions in a polite way. I know trash talk and snark is more common than not with sports talk locations on the web. That most of you focus on real sports talk and not neener neener stuff makes each blog post like two: The blog, and then the pleasant discussion after the blog.
Disagreeing without being disagreeable makes sense. If we are all Texans fans, why would you want to say overly personal things to each other or players on the team?
I'm thinking of this some because apparently one of my recent commenters says that because I don't agree with him, I have a "dense brain." In case I didn't get it the first time, he referred to me as "dense" twice which I guess is thoughtful in a rude way.
Personally I like a variety of opinions. I know what I think. It's good to hear whether other people agree or disagree or just don't know. Whether they feel strongly about their views or not so much.
Or perhaps the commenter was giving me a compliment. It turns out that having a dense brain is a good thing. Science-type people have determined that adults whose brain scans appear less dense tend to have memory problems. So there's that.
Anyway, thanks everso for those of you who are cool. I can't tell you that enough. Obligatory:
The clip reminds me of when parents ask their kids to be truthful even if the parents aren't going to be happy with what is said. It is a challenge.
Here's a sports talk radio interlude:
Sometimes I'm jealous of sports talk hosts because if they have a lot of random stuff they want to say, they can just say it. And they don't have to proofread. It takes a bit more time to type the same amount of stuff. Here's some random thoughts that I have post-combine.
Defensive Tackle Position.
Recently, in Nick Scurfield's blog at the official Houston Texans site, he shared some of Gary Kubiak's views on the defensive tackle position and the play of Shaun Cody and Earl Mitchell:
"If you look at 'em, take both of 'em and say they're your starter – they basically split time – they played extremely well," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said Friday in Indianapolis. "And our defense played well all year long. There's all kinda ways when you're running a 3-4 – a lot of people think you need a big nose. Those two guys aren't very big but they're very active, and [defensive coordinator] Wade [Phillips] has played with both and obviously was successful with those two guys last year, and we think the world of 'em."
Sounds a bit like the Texans talking about the wide receiver position two years ago. (You know the whole "Combine the numbers of Kevin Walter and Jacoby Jones, and it adds up to a good number two WR"). Nick ends his blog post noting, "Nose tackle could certainly be a possibility for the Texans at some point in the draft, but it's not exactly a glaring need."
Do the Texans (without knowing free agent departures) truly have a glaring need that they have to get in the first round? Don't think so.
Right this second, I have no idea what Pro Football Focus says about Cody and Mitchells' play. Let me take a second to look it up from PFFs premium stats that you should purchase if you <3 football a lot or play fantasy (I love when I learn things whilst writing a blog post).
Out of 3-4 DT/NT, Shaun Cody is listed at 61st and Earl Mitchell is listed at 65th with 396 and 289 snaps respectively. Both of their overall numbers are rated as below average, mostly because of their run defense numbers. In contrast, both J.J. Watt and Antonio Smith as 3-4 DEs are both rated in PFF's top ten at their position.
As another point of comparison, Phillips' previous defensive tackle, Jay Ratliff was ranked by PFF 7th overall, with above average numbers across the board, particularly in run defense.
So, it wouldn't make me sad at all if the Texans could find a dominant complement at defensive tackle. In one of my previous blog posts that focused on the defensive tackle position, I noted that the advanced statistics (and my eyes) suggested that the Texans' run defense was inconsistent and may be challenged by better, more balanced offenses.
This is supposed to be a draft that is very talented at the defensive tackle position with a great number having first round grades. If the value in the first round is at defensive tackle, maybe that's the way to go. It might not make those fans happy who want to see the Texans draft more skill position players, but some of those are the same people that weren't happy with drafting J.J. Watt, and we know how that turned out.
The contrary point of view is why sure yeah, which team wouldn't want a dominant defensive tackle? But history is riddled with teams chasing defensive tackle in the draft and missing. See e.g. draft prospect Amobi Okoye. But see 2011 Amobi Okoye (a player the Bears wish to re-sign if they can work out a deal).
More on First Round Wide Receiver.
After watching the combine and hearing a bunch of the talk and looking at possibly available players, I'm not sure there's going to be good value at the bottom of the first round at wide receiver. Good value = Finding a guy that will produce so much more than a guy that could be drafted at a lower spot. It's good to hear that this draft is deep at wide receiver because I think a lot of different wide receivers can be successful in this offense.
I'm also not sure that the Texans want the 1st round pressure/expectations of drafting a wide receiver high. They want wide receivers to develop, and they don't want pressure to start a wide receiver they don't trust yet. Then again, if they find Their Guy in the first, someone they see they could build for the future, I'm guessing they take him, gosh darned the pressure. /Kubiak'd
Have a hard time seeing a scenario where Mario Williams stays. I mean, I personally love the Texans more than what is sensible, but if I were offered the numbers he is likely going to in free agency, I'd be gone. And I wouldn't want the Texans to match those numbers because it would hurt the rest of the roster.
So, that being said, read this Mario Williams writeup in Grantland by friend of the blog Bill Barnwell. Remember the caveat at the beginning. It is written from the perspective of an agent trying to sell the player. I don't agree with quite everything in the writeup, but enough to give me a sad face.
Bill does the same sort writeup on Arian Foster. Eyepop. This doesn't give me quite the sad face (yet) because I think the Texans are more likely to be able to keep him. Yes, the Texans offense is designed to excel at rushing the ball. And Foster has very much taken advantage of that. But I truly think he is a special back.
And, even though I think the Texans have plenty of players with personality, the rest of the world likely doesn't know that. So it isn't a bad thing that Foster is a big personality and is a great ambassador for the team in general. Someone that may get outsiders to root for the Texans. Yeah, those sorts of business considerations shouldn't get into the football decisions, but think of it as a added plus factor.
Just stop it.
There are a group of fans that every single time an old *name* free agent is released, they want the Texans to acquire him. Why?
It's not just a Texans thing. It's a grass is greener, familiarity breeds contempt deal. Every fanbase has the contingent of fans who doesn't like player X, thinks free agent Y will fix. And sometimes a free agent is an upgrade. But a lot of times there's reasons why a player is being dumped. The NFL and its salary cap can be harsh to aging players. And especially with rookie salaries becoming more reasonable, young is the direction teams want to go with limited roster space.
For many young players, the NFL is their first real job. And like everyone with their first job, they make mistakes. In front of God, 70,000+ in the stadium, media and a TV audience. Sometimes players are appreciated more by fans of their second team who don't have a history of being angry watching those youthful mistakes (Danieal Manning for instance). Of if their next contract is at a number that isn't as aggravating as their previous number.
What's quick, rough way to see if a free agent is worth a look? Check out the NFL's Player Matchup Tool, that compares player's stats.
Working on some fun things. Now it is your turn to tell me what is on your dense brain.

Although it is still time for the official coding period start at GSoC 2012, i started to make my commits for the Network Analyzer project . The output of the project will be a web based traffic analyzer. It is aimed to let people upload their files from web interface and see the results. Instead of the detail header information, network analyzer will be focusing on applicaiton level data for display. One will be able to find answer to questions like what is the response HTML, is there any malicous javascript files at the header of the HTML file, is there any binary attachment at the sent mail, is it malicious, etc. The project is aimed to display these results by using visualization. The visualization details can be found at the project site:
The currrent development is going on at the Github repo[1]. Devel is the branch i am using for my commits right now. When the source is examined, it will be seen that the project is set up with buildout. The installation of buildout is defined at the README page. The commands should be run after the repo is cloned and the directory is changed to openwitness:
After the buildout is run, some new directories will be created. To start the server run
This will run the development server of the Django. The current Django release is 1.3. When you point out 127:0.0.1:8000 at your browser, it will display the main page. Click on the PCAP menu at the top and then choose Upload. This will let you choose a pcap file for being upload. What is done at the background is
* Check the network layer protocol of the uploaded pcap file. Determining whether this file is TCP of UDP is necessary to get the flow traffic from inside. If the traffic is TCP, a flow extractor is being run. Each flow is saved as seperate pcap files.
Bro is used for detecting network layer protocol. Bro is mentioned as an IDS, which can use Snort signatures and user defined rules. After installing Bro, the command line tool of Bro generates conn.log file that gives information about the pcap file.
Bro-cut is an auxiliary command that can be found at the Bro source code after compilation finishes. It eases reading the conn.log file. A typical conn.log file is as below
One may read the fields and say that this is an HTTP traffic information, from 192.168.1.222 to 192.168.1.64. The connection is destined to 8080 and it is an established connection (S1 indicates it). The other fields are the sent and receive byte numbers. The detail information can be seen at the old Bro wiki. There are examples also at the Bro site from 2011 workshop
After the flows are saved, each flow file should be analyzed for application level protocol detection. According to the protocol detected, parsers related with the protocol will be hooked. Anyone can write its own protocol detectors, also. To use a custom protocol detector, base detector should be inherited:
The two functions should be owerritten at the custom protocol detector. Bro appplication level protocol detection is as below:
Bro uses dynamic protocol detection. It is possible to detect application level protocols regardless of protocol information, but from predefined traffic signature. It is also possible to define custom rules to detect undetected protocols. The current supported protocols are listed here.
After the protocol is detected, the parser related with it will be run to gather applicaiton level data. The gathered information will be saved at MongoDB. It is being used the MongoDB driver for Django, so database operations will be handled by using db api.

Apple announced on its developer site today that it will be locking down the images submitted along with apps once they are approved for the App Store, locking scammers out of one more tactic used to scam naive app buyers into purchasing apps that may look just like popular games (like Pokemon or Minecraft). The tactic involved submitting apps with basic images for approval to Apple, then switching them out to infringing images that look just like the popular apps.
Apple's new policy should help cut down on scammer app sellers from deploying the bait and switch maneuver in the future, helping keep app buyers a bit safer than before.

Black Apple Doll
As this was such a rare request from my son, I thought it might be best to comply with such noble desires.
I asked him what he wanted to do, and he replied he wanted to make her a doll. I got over my shock, and started thinking of something simple we could work on together quickly. I remembered Cheryl's darling post a month or so ago of some dolls she made for her daughter. I showed Little Boy the dolls, and he agreed it would work. I downloaded the pattern from Martha, and enlarged it to 125%, and then added a 1/4" seam allowance around the arms and legs.
Little Boy chose the fabric from my stash, helped me to stuff the limbs, and stuffed the body all by himself.
I was going to paint the face, then remembered we had these fun markers from when the kids decorated their Christmas pajamas. Little Boy colored the cheeks all by himself.
Now she's ready to be wrapped and delivered to one lucky girl.
Hoping you have a wonderful weekend. We're off to finish up some projects on the outside of the house while the drywall contractors finish up the texture and taping of the upstairs.

Anubias Short & Sharp Mother Pot
Common Name: Anubias Short and Sharp
Anubias Short and Sharp is an uncommon variant of Anubias characterized by the short and slender leaves. It is extremely easy to grow and can survive a wide range of water parameters. This is a flowering plant that grows best when the rhizome is attached to a hard surface such as wood or stones. They have low to medium light requirements and can benefit from regular fertilization. CO2 is not necessary but can promote faster growth and more robust leaves. Since its a slow grower, the leaves are susceptible to algae growth if placed under high lighting. This plant is suitable as a midground and background as the leaves can grow up to 6" long.
The plant can be attached directly onto driftwood, rocks or any aquarium decoration using thread or glue. Make sure to keep the rhizomes above your substrate or the plant can begin to rot. Propagation is easy and straightforward; simply cut or pull apart rhizomes to be replanted.
- Anubias are strong plants that can thrive in a variety of environments.
- These epiphytes can be planted into substrate or attached to hardscape.
- Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
- Please be sure to remove this plant from its pot. For instructions on how to properly prep aquarium plants, click here.
- CO2 injection and quality aquarium soil will yield better growth.
- Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
Family Name: Araceae
Origin: West Africa
Height: 6-20"
pH: 6-7.5
Care: Easy
Light: Low
Co2: Not necessary
Propagation: Separate by rhizome

Since 2004, libraries across the world have organized events about freedom and issues that matter to their communities during the month of September. This grassroots project favors free over fee, public over private, and voices over silence. This year, the Davenport Public Library is posting blogs relating to freedom and democracy, as well as hosting displays about these topics. For more information about the September Project, visit www.theseptemberproject.org
One way libraries and librarians protect your freedom that you probably aren't even aware of, is Collection Development. That's a fancy librarian term for what we do every day – buy books (and movies and magazines and audio materials, etc ) But there's something serious here too – the reference librarians work hard – including going to school and getting a Master's Degree – to make sure that our collection is balanced and that it, within publishing and money constraints, has something for everyone.
Let's say you're an ardent vegetarian. Great! We have books on cooking for the vegetarian and the vegan, books on how to grow your own vegetables and books on the health benefits of this lifestyle. But we also have books about cooking meat and books about baking with sugar and butter. We have books that will appeal to various political parties and religious beliefs, books that cover nearly every opinion and belief with no favoritism for one or another.
Just one of the services your public library provides – upholding the ideals of the Constitution of the United States.

News editor
Prices for farmland in Marion County have been generally increasing in the past five years, but they have recently been booming, and a big part of the reason has been the overall national financial environment.
Interest rates — both for loans and savings — are very low, and the stock market has been volatile since the housing bubble burst.
"There's nowhere else to put your money right now," said Roger Hannaford of Hannaford Abstract & Title Co. in Marion. "You buy land. It's going to give you a return, and they aren't making any more of it."
Kansas State University Research and Extension Agent Rickey Roberts said a section of grassland on a recent auction sold for more than $2,200 an acre.
So who is buying land at those prices? A few years ago, people from Kansas City and Wichita bought up land for hunting, but that has mostly run its course, Hannaford said.
"I don't think it is speculation on land," said Kent Becker, Tampa State Bank senior vice president. "Right now local producers are driving the market."
In particular, land is being bought by local farmers and ranchers who have plentiful resources. With low interest rates and high commodity prices, large operations are looking to expand, said Kevin Fruechting, Tampa State Bank vice president.
"I think it's been going on since interest rates went down," Fruechting said.
Fruechting, Hannaford, and Roberts all agreed that the high land prices are becoming a barrier to young farmers trying to get started. Fruechting said, weighing the resources required to get a farm up and running and the return on investment, it takes someone who really wants to farm to get into it now.
"You've kind of got to be born into this, almost," Roberts said.

Jazz Draft Notes and Stuff
So yeah. Eric Maynor and Goran Suton. All the sites and all the analysis have my head spinning, but from what I gather, Maynor is a pure PG with great leadership skills, has no qualms about taking the last shot with the game on the line, and is one of the most NBA-ready point guards in this year's draft class. Suton, meanwhile, is a good rebounder and good shooter for his size and has a back story that few of us can imagine.
Fanhouse calls Maynor "just the kind of player coach Jerry Sloan can work with," while nbadraft.net calls Suton "a perfect Jerry Sloan guy." (Incidentally, has Jerry committed yet to coming back next year? He's been involved with the draft workouts and was at the post-draft press conference, but I don't think I've heard an announcement on this yet.)
That's the good. The bad? Maynor's weaknesses, according to Draft Express, include "ability to defend position at next level?," "commitment to playing defense," and "defensive fundamentals" (in other words, he will fit right in with the rest of the Jazz roster. ARGH!). Also somewhat worrying is that he only weighs 165-175 lbs. Suton, meanwhile, might lack the athleticism to make it in the NBA and several sites seem to think he will be gaining experience in Europe next year.
After the draft, KFAN got Maynor on the phone and asked him a bunch of personal questions, including who his favorite players are. His answer: LBJ, and CP3–who he watches a lot and wants to emulate. At least he pronounced "Deron" correctly…
Great story: During the introduction press conference the next day, it came out that Jerry killed eMay's dad's NBA dreams by cutting him from the Bulls back in the day. Jerry also got a laugh out of me when he told Suton he had four days to get into shape because training camp starts on Tuesday. Loved the music note logo caps the guys were sporting at the press conference, by the way.
(This picture is also testimony to the fact that Jerry can change. Look at him there, with his shirt untucked.)
Finally: If I'm Maynor, DJ and PK would be at the top of my sh!t list after their shameful show this morning. Listening to the podcast and hearing them mock and imitate Maynor's mom, who was understandably emotional after seeing her son drafted, made me cringe about 100 times in 15 minutes. Seriously, they made me ashamed to be a Jazz fan.
P.S. Typical me and my general ignorance of what is going on in the world–I found out about Michael Jackson through a comment on the SLC Dunk draft thread. RIP.

Jiwa Financials - Reporting allows execution of arbitrary reports as SQL user with full permissions.
Robert misait com
Date: 28/5/2006 Product: Jiwa Financials 6.4.14 - http://www.jiwa.com.au/ Vulnerability: Reporting allows execution of arbitrary reports as SQL user with full SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE SQL permissions. Product Background --------------------- On execution Jiwa Financials authenticates users against a username/password database On a SQL server to access that users access level. To do this it gets its SQL connection details from a .ini file located on the users Application Data folder called Jiwalog.ini The contents of the file are as follows: [Connections] Count=01 Connection01=<DatasourceName>,Z:maininifile.ini [Parameters] LastSQLLogin=jiwauser LastUserName=<last user> LastConnectionODBC=<DatasourceName> Within maininifile.ini it sets out the users menu amongst other things ie. ' Menu Start '=========== ShowGST= 0 [Modules] Count=09 Module001=Inventory,1 Module002=Debtors,2 Module003=Contacts,8 Module004=Sales Order Entry,3 Module005=Creditors,7 Module006=Purchase Orders,5 Module007=General Ledger,4 Module008=Monthly Reports,2 Module009=System,6 Ok so there?s the main menu drawn for the user ? note a standardized .ini file for the entire site is common place Placing all modules on the main menu and just restricting access per module when one tries to access it. Reporting --------- When a user executes any menu option to run a report, it loads the report module which is standard across the board and passes To the reporting module, the report object that was listed on the menu the user selected. The report files are all Crystal Reports and are stored on a common mapped network drive ? generally J drive. The full path and filename to the .rpt file is detailed on the screen in a textbox with a command button to the right of it that Allows the user to browse for another location or report ? THIS INCLUDES ANY OTHER MAPPABLE DRIVE AND THE LOCAL COMPUTER DRIVES ie. The local My Documents for the evil user. This is a feature apparently because it allows the users to specify different report file versions etc Ok now for the issue -------------------- User logs into Jiwa Financials, goes into Sales Order Processing which is standard for anyone that generates an invoice ? ie. People working out on the front desk selling products over the counter ? not a staff level you want to give access to your general ledger or anything else. Create a blank crystal report file and point it at a Jiwa table called HR_Staff for example. Create the report using a dummy database. The username, password and data source including database name is passed to the report at runtime ? all you need correct is the table name that you could just get anyway from Systables? Now because the guy that works at front counter - although having some remote clue on how to use the Crystal Report Wizard ? he doesn?t have access to save the .rpt file to the network drive with the other reports nor would he want to because he may get caught that way so he either saves it to his USB drive and it appears as a locally available drive. He goes into his sales order report to look up a customers previous quote or anything remotely using the reporting module - given the application does pretty much everything output wise through different Crystal Reports, that?s pretty easy. He then clicks the Command button to change the location of the .rpt file to his USB Drive ie. E:Evil_Jiwa_RPTUserlist.rpt He then selects ?Print To Screen? to the left of the command button. He then clicks the ?Print Button? and waits for the few seconds it takes to return EVERY JIWA USER?S USERNAME, CLEAR TEXT PASSWORD, FIRST NAME, SURNAME, POSITION IN THE COMPANY AND OTHER DETAILS. What has actually happened -------------------------- Because the Jiwa application passes the username/password/data source details directly to the .rpt file, it uses the same SQL user account that the rest of the application uses that has full SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE AND EXECUTE rights. An example of one of the standard stored proceedures in the Jiwa distribution allows you to drop the primary key from a table with the table name - these stored proceedures are executable from this reporting user. Conclusion ---------- This applications technology leaves a lot to be desired. When you execute the application, the login screen has ?ActiveX Three Teir Client Server? up the left hand side and ?Client Server Accounting? written horizontally above the username/password textbox?s. The only thing installed on the ?SERVER? is Microsoft SQL Server and the Jiwa Database plus a truckload of .rpt files. In no way whatsoever is this application a three tier client server solution and that is something the company refuses to accept. All usernames and passwords are TRANSMITTED in clear text to the local SQL Server ODBC driver from the application. All usernames and passwords are STORED in clear text in the SQL Server Database in the table HR_Staff Not even simple base64 encoding has been used. There is no administrative control over users menu options. Far too many variables are available and changeable on the user end outside the control of the network administrators. There is no remote attempt to validate access to reports vs users seen in any previous revisions I have seen and 6.4.14 is current. Bottom line ? if you have this application on your site ? you are vulnerable ? at this stage there is no current patch. Company Response ---------------- Mr Mike Sheen of Jiwa Australia has responded calling this a low risk. As far as I?m concerned, the general ledger, lists of creditors and debitors is a considerable risk to any company let alone one turning over millions of dollars per year. Jiwa have promised to encrypt the passwords in the database in their next commercial release. To quote his email on 28/5/06: The vulnerability of walking up to any machine running Jiwa, pointing it to an "evil" report to cause malicious damage or reveal sensitive information will remain. So it seems the company doesn?t care? Regards, Robert Passlow

Government & Politics
Kansas bill would allow eight-year driver's licenses
A Kansas House committee is considering a bill that would allow residents to renew their driver's licenses for eight years, rather than the current six years.
The bill before the House Transportation Committee also would allow drivers over 70 to renew their licenses every five years, rather than every four years as currently required for drivers 65 and over. After concerns were raised, members of the committee said they would be open to keeping the current four-year requirement, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.
"I believe it is time for Kansas to take this step," said Rep. Don Hineman, a Dighton Republican who proposed the idea. "By doing so, we reduce the frequency of interaction between government and citizens and restore to the citizens that time that is now spent dealing with government."
The bill could also relieve long lines frequently reported at license offices, said committee member Larry Hibbard, a Toronto Republican.
Rep. James Todd, an Overland Park Republican, said it might make more sense to change Kansas to a 10-year driver's license to align with the federal government's requirements to renew passports.
Julie Earnest, representing the vehicle division at the Kansas Department of Revenue, cautioned the bill could reduce licensing revenue and said efforts to adjust renewals for older motorists ought to consider potential safety problems.
"There is also a safety concern that applicants who renew at the age of 69 years and 264 days would be issued a license that will not expire until the age of 78," she said. "Age-related vision and medical issues escalate at age 70 and above."
Hineman said he wouldn't object to retaining existing licensing standards for older drivers, and he would discuss extending renewals for most people to 10 years. He said the revenue loss could be counteracted by changing the existing $18 charge for a six-year license for a $24 fee on an eight-year license. The bill would not change the current $8 fee for the license photograph, he said.

Jewish ancestors has arrived at www.familysearch.org. The collection, the United Kingdom, Maritime Births, Marriages, and Deaths, 1787-1933, has been added to the Historical Collections. While it is not large at this point, only about 42,000 records, it does include the images, which have been provided by www.findmypast.co.uk.
The collection is name searchable and very easy to use. The search page (shown below), as with all the Historical Collections allows the researcher to search by various pieces of information.
The images for the collection are very clear and easy to decipher. The records below are examples of a birth record and a death record. Included on both are the names, dates of the events and the ship name.
While small now, this collection could add valuable assistance for those whose families travelled from country to country by ship. This collection could provide the information needed to fill in those missing records.

STOCKTON - City Councilman Dale Fritchen opened up a dialogue with several unsheltered homeless and Occupy Stockton activists in a downtown plaza Thursday, offering to help find a solution to the city's homeless problem and accepting an invitation to spend a night in a shelter.
STOCKTON - City Councilman Dale Fritchen opened up a dialogue with several unsheltered homeless and Occupy Stockton activists in a downtown plaza Thursday, offering to help find a solution to the city's homeless problem and accepting an invitation to spend a night in a shelter.
A day earlier, Stockton police and public works crews efficiently evicted several dozen homeless individuals who had established a tent campground on the sidewalks in front of the Stockton Shelter for the Homeless, St. Mary's Dining Room and a recycling center at Sonora and South Harrison streets.
After personally greeting the dozen or so people waiting half an hour for his arrival at Dean De Carli Waterfront Square across El Dorado Street from City Centre Cinema 16, Fritchen admitted to having his own short brush with homelessness.
When he was 16 growing up in Idaho, Fritchen said, "my mom was having emotional issues in the home. I moved out and lived in my car for two weeks while still going to high school." He managed to find food and took showers every morning in a church locker room.
Calling it "a small taste of what you have to deal with," Fritchen asked to hear individual stories and listened when those assembled explained why they weren't seeking help in a shelter.
"It gets full really quick. By 4 o'clock, you can't go anywhere else after you check in," said Jessie Edwards, 34, who had been living in a sidewalk tent along South Harrison.
Looking at the surroundings, Fritchen said, "Staying in a park is not a good answer. What do you think a solution would be?"
Edwards responded, "We need an area near the shelter and St. Mary's where we can set up tents. Not all of us are bad."
Occupy Stockton organizer Lynne Prater recommended an abandoned parking lot now filled with rusty Dumpsters on the opposite side of Interstate 5 from Stockton Shelter for the Homeless.
A vote was called and everyone present agreed with Prater's suggestion that the city help establish a homeless tent camp there.
"I think this is a start," Fritchen said.
"Absolutely!" Prater replied.
"This starts the process. This is not the solution yet. I'd like to come back next week with people from the community who have solutions," said Fritchen, suggesting that he would return to the corner camp as soon as Monday.
"We need to talk. I think it's good to try to come up with a solution for something that is obviously not working by moving people from place to place," he said.
Fritchen's 30-minute visit was appreciated.
"You came down to listen," homeless camper Vickie Olson, 43, told him.
Before Fritchen's arrival, Edwards wondered aloud what the city had hoped to accomplish by rousting the homeless camp and moving the people away from services.
"It would be best if we stayed there. Now, we are spreading out all over the place. We had everything we needed nearby - showers, clothing, food. Now we are all over downtown. We're homeless. If you don't want us roaming around the city, let us go back," Edwards said.
The people staying at De Carli Plaza pointed to a fresh metal sign posted by a city crew Wednesday night closing the square between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
That night, they got around the new restriction by moving out to the sidewalk overnight, where they said they are allowed to take up to 50 percent of the passable space. But not before they said police issued two citations and confiscated two tents.
Occupy Stockton activist Diana Buettner was one of those cited. She described her tent as a work of art because it was covered in messages.
"I am done with these people taking our First Amendment rights. I'm a teacher and constitutional law was one of my favorite classes in school. I no longer have the tent," Buettner said.
Occupy Stockton intends to stay at De Carli Plaza for as long as its members feel necessary.
"We need ice, water, food, clothing, blankets, camping gear, anything that will help empower these people to better themselves," Prater said.
