Jingle Bells with Barcode Scanners
Edeka, a grocery retailer from Germany, found a a very creative way to get into the holiday spirit with the use of their in-counter scanners at their checkout lanes. Scanners all have the means to produce audio feedback for positive scans which, in many models, can be customized to specific pitches or sounds. Edeka put these programmable tones to use to make all their checkout lanes into a 'playable' instrument. Each lane plays a specific pitch so with a little practice their reps could perform Jingle Bells by simply scanning products in the right sequence.
Datalogic Revolutionizes POS Barcode Scanning with the Magellan 9800i
Datalogic has announced their new and revolutionary Magellan 9800i retail point of sale barcode scanner. The sleek, new Magellan 9800i is the result of over 40 years of engineering innovation and sets a new standard of excellence.
Digital imaging technology quickly reads 1D and 2D bar codes while giving the Magellan 9800i a 20% increased platter area.
The optional top down reader increases the scan volume and provides a customer facing mobile device reader. Datalogic patented All-Weighs platter and ScaleSentry technology assures the accurate capture of large and bulk weighed items.
Keep Lanes Moving With Motorola's MP6000
Motorola is bringing retail checkout scanning into the mobile age with its MP6000 multi-plane scanner/scale, an imaging-based bioptic solution developed to help customers quickly checkout at retail stores.
The MP6000 can scan traditional paper-based bar codes as well as mobile coupons and bar codes delivered on the screen of a mobile device. It offers a flexible design that can grow with a retailer's needs and will include modules such as scale to weigh produce and expansion ports for connection to handheld scanners and electronic article surveillance (EAS) devices while providing expandability for future requirements like RFID.
To help move customers quickly through the checkout process and eliminate the challenge of trying to align the bar code, the MP6000 will provide full six-sided coverage with 100 percent imaging technology designed to offer excellent performance and better read rates than laser or hybrid bioptic scanners on damaged, poorly printed and overwrapped bar codes.

The crew in the Haynes shop did something a little differently for the 50th anniversary of the company, buying a first generation Ford Mustang convertible and restoring it to showroom condition. This was Haynes Project 50, and if you were lucky enough to be at the 2011 AAPEX trade show in Las Vegas, you might have seen it in person, before it was shipped off to the Haynes Museum in the UK. For a more indepth look at the process, get a copy of our Ford Mustang Restoration Guide, produced using this restoration as a guide, and including hundreds of pages of detail.
If you have been following along, in part one of Project 50 we took delivery of our barn fresh old eBay score, the 1965 Ford Mustang convertible, assessed how much work was needed, and pulled out the engine and transmission for rebuilding. In part two we began to clean out the detritus and dead things from the interior, and remove the trim and some exterior panels to fix rust, dents and dings. In part three we stripped that car of its drivetrain and down to the bare shell, and organized all the parts so we could send the shell out to be cleaned down to the bare metal.
Now here we are in part four, with the shell being shipped off to our local media blasting shop, which is very messy and labor intensive. Meanwhile, the tired and crusty Ford 289 cubic inch motor is disassembled back in our shop, assessed for wear, and sent out for machine work to bring it back to better than new running condition.
Media Blasting the Body Shell to Bare Metal
When restoring a classic car, many people simply fix the visible problems and make it look like new, but to really do a restoration properly you need to go all the way back to bare metal everywhere. Even a well preserved body shell, like our Mustang, that lived its entire life in a dry climate like Texas can hide rust in the floorboards, rocker panels, and underbody. Media blasting sprays an abrasive mixture of air and "sand" (actually a variety or different media including glass, nut shells, baking soda, etc.) at the body panels to quickly strip off the old paint, rust, and dirt, leaving nothing but metal.
But first, the bare body shell needs to be braced and mounted to a wheeled platform to make it easier to work with. The shop we contracted for media blasting does this all the time, so it only took a few hours to measure and cut the custom wheeled cart. Small square steel braces were welded across the door openings, from side to side, and up to the windshield frame, to keep anything from getting twisted while the media blasting med were working on it. These braces would also help later when we cut out a portion of the floor to replace a rusted out spot under the driver's feet.
The most difficult part of getting a car down to bare metal is often removing the rubberized undercoating, which is just too tough to get off with blasting media without also ruining the underlying texture of the metal. A stiff wire wheel is used in a power tool to manually strip off the undercoating, as well as a large amount of dirt and rust.
Next the media blaster suits up in protective gear with an outside air supply and begins removing the paint. This part of the job is actually easy compared to the prep and removal of undercoating. After a few hours, our 1965 Ford Mustang looks almost exactly like it did while rolling down the assembly line at the Ford factory.
Tearing Down the Engine
Compared to doing body work, tearing down the old Ford 289 V8 was easy. We didn't try to get the small block Ford running, but looking inside it appears to be in running condition. The valve covers and oil pan were full of sludge and old dirty oil, but the valvesa and pistons were all free and in okay condition. We will be giving it a thorough cleaning inside and out, a minimal overbore, valve job, and new pistons, rings, gaskets, seals, bearings and oil pump, to end up with a motor that should be good for another 100,000 miles of cruising without issue.
Even more so than when dealing with the rest of the car, the moving parts withing the engine must be properly organized. Be sure to keep the valves in order, as well as the connecting rods and caps, and the main bearing caps. Typically this is done with a hammer and a set of numbered punches by an engine builder, but the punches are not expensive if you want to mark them yourself as you tear it down.
We are restoring this car for the Haynes Museum in the UK, so there will be no upgrades as we build it, but getting more power with a different cam, mor compression or a 4 barrel carburator would be easy to do. If you are building a project like this, it is good to start thinking about potential upgrades at the teardown stage before any parts are ordered or machine work is done.
Check back with us next week to see part 5 of Project 50 - including plenty of pictures of the completed car.

Not even. He was always being urged by the French ambassador who represented Napoleon who craved imperial reach around the world.

The other day, I opined in passing that, standing first in HR and RBI and (then) fourth in batting average, Albert Pujols had the best chance to win a Triple Crown that we'd seen in a good long while.
And, well, does he, really? I mean, it's obviously still not likely (it never is), but what are the chances? You probably know by now that I'm not going to sit here and give you precise mathematical odds, but let's look at the English major's version of the question: can we envision it actually happening?
Albert went 1-for-4 on Monday, so this morning is batting .325. Leader Hanley Ramirez's Fish didn't play, and he's been on fire lately and now stands at .356. Already not looking good. Pujols does have the HR lead by one over Mark Reynolds, though (39 to 38 after both hit one yesterday), and is just two behind Prince Fielder for the RBI lead, 105 to 107.
I'm going to commit a big no-no right off the bat and assume away HR and RBI. ZiPS calculated for the rest of the season thinks Albert ends up with 50 HR and 138 RBI, and that that will best Reynolds by two in the former and drop six behind Fielder in the latter. So even in the two categories he's closest in, he's only a favorite to hold one of them. But I'm going to assume he does get both; it just feels like the more likely result to me, and anyway, the bigger hurdle will obviously be the batting average. Also, if Pujols goes on the kind of hot streak he'll need to in order to win the batting title, odds are he'll be piling up the HR and RBI too. So in reality, I'm sure there's not even a 50% chance that Pujols ends up leading in both HR and RBI, but let's just say he does it.
Now. The Marlins have 44 games left, and Hanley has averaged 3.88 AB per game played. Say he starts every one of those 44 games; at that rate, he's got 170 more AB. This season, he's been BABIPing out of his head, with a .404 batting average on balls in play that's unsustainable by anybody; his pre-'09 career BABIP was approximately .340. So say he reverts back to that, and maintains his current HR and strikeout rates. He strikes out in 18% of his ABs (31 times), homers in 4.2% (7), and gets a hit in 34% of the remaining 132 (45). That makes him 52 for 170, a .305 BA over the rest of the season (seems unrealistically low, doesn't it? Wonder if I'm doing something wrong…oh well, pressing on). That still puts his overall 2009 batting average at a robust .340.
By the same AB/G * Games Remaining formula, Pujols ought to have 147 AB left in his season. He'll need 57 hits in those 147 AB–a .388 batting average the rest of the way–to put him at 192/563 = .341 for the year.
Pujols has been a bit down on BABIP this year (.294), either because he's been unlucky or because he's hitting more flies and fewer liners. But let's assume, again, that he gets back to his career BABIP (.321) and keeps the other rates the same. 11.4% Ks (16), 9.2% HRs (14), and 32.1% of the remaining 117 ABs are hits (38). That makes him 52 for 147 (.354), and puts him at just .332 for the year…but if just five more hits fall in (or leave the yard) somewhere in there, he's right where he needs to be.
Doesn't sound too bad, right? Not likely, sure, but with just five hits' worth of better-than-average luck and with a slide back toward the mean by Hanley, it could happen! And just last year, from July 10 to August 31, Pujols played in 45 games and hit .392. So I'm not sure there's anything Pujols can't do, but if there is, hitting .388 in 43 games ain't it.
So, sure, it can happen. If Hanley slips back to .340 or so (if he stays at .356, Albert has to put up a .450 average the rest of the way to catch him). And if the current #2 in average, Pablo Sandoval at .330, doesn't finish just as strong as Pujols does. And if Pujols holds off Reynolds for the HR title and Prince for the RBI one.
So the odds of this actually happening are probably tiny. Not statistically insignificant, not one in a million, but small enough for most of us lay folk to write it off more or less completely. Still, though, it's absolutely possible (certainly more likely than Mauer hitting .400, which we're still hearing a lot about), and probably the "best" odds at this point in the season that anybody has had in many years. I think it's something we should really keep an eye on for at least the next week or two (though if he goes 0-for-9 in the next two days or something, it's basically all over).

Cool pics of a Triumph rigid rear wheel taking off.
Neat article on how to get started by Bob Braverman. Worn down four inch Dunlop K70's & Avon S.M.'s make good drag tires for the stock classes. Lots of basic stuff here. Dig Boris Murray's "Flustration" after the brush work as done by Baxtalo Juki as told in a previous post. I love the striped helmet face sheild! Find some old rule books and start building.

Comments on the texts of the Revised Common Lectionary
from a Progressive Christian perspective.
Monday, October 31, 2005
November 6, 2005 - Year A - Pentecost +25
Psalm 78:1-7 or Wisdom of Solomon 6:17-20 or Psalm 70
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Matthew 25:1-13
Choices bring with them two realities. One - they are chosen on the basis of some combination of inertia from past choices and expectation of future realities. Two - their consequences on a line of tradition or limitation on perceived next options can never be fully known at the time of the choice.
As we move into this week we are sensitized to the pushes and pulls that will bring us to a new day. A mystery of awareness of choices stands before us. May we joyfully enter into choosing beyond the hobgoblin of consistency and the wraith of wishful-thinking.
6 comments:
Matthew 25:1-13ReplyDelete
Choices come all along the way. They continually need to be made and remade. Nothing is settled, once for all. We see this in our political and economic life. We see this in the advancement of science. We see this in our own habit patterns as we keep an old one going, or begin a new one.
As we move along it is important to recognize a dual choice is always being made at any single choice moment. And what a choice moment is a moment of choice!
We choose for ourselves and we choose for others. These are not equivalents. They do not constrain one another. We can make a choice without demanding all others make the same choice. We can appreciate the choice another has made and yet go another way. The gifts we have are simply different.
Suppose you were invited to a party. Are you the type who would drop what you are doing and live in the moment? Are you the type who would consider the provisions you would need to have at hand to cover the projected needs of the party? This might be a time to look at the Mary and Martha story again and see, on the one hand, five Marys and, one the other hand, five Marthas. Is this really a choice between hands where one is put on a pedestal and one is cast into the fire?
How does your praise life go? Do you jump in with both feet and dance up a storm as though praise will never run out? (are you a praise sprinter?) Do you quietly grin and meditate and grin again, savoring each bit(e) of praise? (are you a praise marathoner?)
Then, finding you have used up your energy as the life of the party do you "humbly ask for more"? finding you have energy left to help with cleanup after the party do you find that to be another opportunity to grin?
How dull heaven without those who leave chaos in their wake and extravagantly burn their candles for the brightest possible light for our present party. How short heaven without those who care for the details that keep the party going as long as possible.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18ReplyDelete
All Saints who have gone before are defined as those who shift our grief structures.
Where once we held deep within us a death instinct we now find an impulse to life. These are matters that go beyond our consciousness. Our fear of engagement with the powers that be fades in the presence of these Saints. Our joy at pushing past our own limited salvation to that of all grows in the presence of these Saints.
One important source of encouragement is our experience with the Saints, whether past or present. We are revived in their presence. We move from death orientation to that of life.
Count your blessings. Know there is a Saint behind each one.
In addition to our thankfulness for Saints of old we are encouraged to so live that we become Saints in our time on behalf of the new.
Psalm 78:1-7 or Wisdom of Solomon 6:17-20 or Psalm 70ReplyDelete
Usually we think of a voice as active and an ear as passive. Hear that here it is the voice that is still and the ear that inclines. This reversal is the energy that moves the generations forward as the voice is still ahead and our inclination tilts toward it. We have a choice about continuing to incline toward what the voice still has to say or settling for what we have heard so far. May you choose to listen beyond what has so far been heard that the unheard might yet be heard.
Let's see how Wisdom's theory goes
- desire for instruction leads to keeping laws
- - keeping laws assures immortality
- - - immortality brings us to God
For want of desire, God is lost. What are you desiring so much these days that when you are involved in it you have no notion of time ("peace is when time doesn't matter as it passes")? Choose that which brings forth this lack of sense of time (loving what you are and do), that moves us into divine space.
To incline our desire is to recognize our dissatisfaction with the limits of today. We hear better is yet to come than where we have arrived and feel the present as threat rather than arrival. And so we recognize how far short of immortality we are and how laws do not draw us beyond our present limits but hold us here. We call out, "Come, O God!" - "Come, Messiah!" - "Come Wisdom beyond our present difficulty!"
Choose well in which direction you incline your ear. Does present law or future openness offer a larger God with whom we might play?
Joshua 24:1-3a, 14-25 or Wisdom of Solomon 6:12-16 or Amos 5:18-24ReplyDelete
Joshua set a choice before the people. Follow the Lord and me or get your own leadership together.
As with most crowds they fall back on remembering the best of their heritage so they won't have to change in the present. There were victories along the way (and their subsequent creeds) that were recounted. Conveniently forgotten were the difficulties along the way. To avoid having to really make a choice the folks only remembered the victories and said, "Us, too."
Joshua caught this wavering and pressed on to issues of jealousy and not-forgiven to test this one-sided response.
The crowd, as with most crowds, didn't really address this but simply affirmed that they were up to whatever was needed. Anyone here heard yourself or someone else being quite positive when it came to changing a habit. We are so full of big-talk.
Joshua eventually says, "We'll see. Your real intentions will be witnessed to by your actions". Then comes a test of intentions - actually putting down a crutch you have been using and picking up a new orientation that needs living. This same test is still being put to us. Will we actually live as big as our talk? Well?
Amos shifts the imagery from material idols to the idolatry of worshipful praise. Again the test is put. We talk about justice as if it is a light mist and righteousness as though trickling down were sufficient when what is needed is a deluge and a flood. Will we actually live as big as our talk? Well?
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18ReplyDelete
"Those of us alive will not precede those who have died into eternity." Who is going ahead of those of us who think we have things under control and absolutely know the best way to live? Well, try any given prostitute or collaborator with injustice. How about a starved child, a worthless old coot miserable all his days, or the person who has most injured you?
Surely it is just the righteous dead who will rise with Christ and our illustrious selves! It is our brothers and sisters in The Way that Paul is writing about! This is encouragement for those of us still left that if we are persistent we will get in with the good guys, leaving the rascals behind!
I think we can encourage one another with these words. Not one will be left behind. GOD desires the salvation of all and will see to it. We live well, healing and teaching wholeness in Christ, not because we are afraid of missing the boat, but because it has more meaning than anything else.
On All Saints Day the United Methodist Judicial Council reinstated a pastor who played gaykeeper in a way that attempted to block GOD's desire for all, setting up the heresy that one must be live up to some contrived standard before entering the exclusive fold of "brothers and sisters". May they finally hear that they won't precede anyone.
Rats, now I have to affirm that even that pastor and that Judicial Council will join me in a new heaven (that is, Paradise/Earth). I also need to affirm that this affirmation does not allow me to passively allow GOD to do all the work. I am called, again and again, to say that decision was wrong/sinful and work to overturn it even if I will later join those who perpetrated such upon the church in a more visible journey within Paradise.
What "Rats!" moment do you have? Revel in your disappointment and move on to live and teach healing and wholeness in a sick and broken context.

Silly old Bridegroom. Late again. Late to wake up to knowledge being set loose ("Hey, where are y'all?). Late to wake up to the futility of genus-cide ("Oops, here's a rainbow to make up."). Late to wake up to laws and favorite kings being a basis for long-term community ("You, Prophet, its back to work for you.). Late to wake up to embodiment ("Rats, I was hoping it wouldn't come to this."). Late to come to the bridal party (make up your own reason).
Silly old me, waiting with all my alter egos conversing with one another. Part of me in a hurry to get there, not waiting for milking to be done or burials to be accomplished, just rushing to the party, oil-less. Part of me planning out the needed provisions and deciding on only enough for myself, no feeding of the 5,000, much less the oiling of 5, for me.
If we weren't led to the categories of wise and foolish we could see each operating out of good decision-making. This is the difficulty with this and all the apocalyptic writings, they lead us to divide ourselves from ourselves and from one another based on some particular value of the moment.
An ego divided against itself can't stay awake. Perhaps this is to say that a person divided into only their "wise" part, doing their best to reject and repress their "foolish" part, can't stay focused. Tucked safely into another section of Matthew, it could have been that since we know neither the day or the hour that the foolish ones hurrying along snuck in before the door closed while those weighed down with provisions were left behind.
We need both the wise and the foolish at different times for different settings. May you be wise as a serpent and foolish as a dove. May you think things through and may you let your heart lead. May you keep awake to the foolishness of judging another since you can't even judge which day or hour is the most important.

Purpose – Inflation and its related uncertainty can impose costs on real economic output in any economy. This paper aims to analyze the relationship between inflation and inflation uncertainty in India.
Design/methodology/approach – The methodology uses a generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) model and Granger Causality test.
Findings – Initial estimates show the inflation rate to be a stationary process. The maximum likelihood estimates from the GARCH model reveal strong support for the presence of a positive relationship between the level of inflation and its uncertainty. The Granger causality results indicate a feedback between inflation and uncertainty.
Research limitations/implications – The research results have important implication for policy makers and especially the Reserve Bank of India.
Practical implications – It provides strong support to the notion of an opportunistic central bank in India.
Originality/value – The results of the paper are of relevance not only to the monetary policy makers but also to academicians in India and other developing countries.

29 Responses to "Mozilla's Brand New Firefox 3.5 Is Worth Downloading"
Well, I'm just leaving a little comment, but I think Mozilla Firefox has been horrible since it kept updating. Everytime I start it up, loading sites would be lag and not clean. Google Chrome, it loads stuff clean, like every single thing in seconds. Plus, Google Chrome doesn't use a lot of the CPU's resources and stuff. Mozilla Firefox does when I do use it. I'd try to do something else when Firefox is open but then it's like I can't do anything because everything's on Firefox.
Javascript engine for FF 3.5 keeps jamming. When I use Firebug, I found that on several sites that work fine in Safari, Opera and IE (and older FF) produce a warning that says Firefox has no permission to create a wrapper for unNamedClass (450). I completely wiped out all FF related files and re-installed, it's still there. Reverted to 3.0.1 and it's fine now.
I love the new Firefox! It does feel faster and I like its new features. Yes, some people have add-ons compatibility problems, but thankfully all my add-ons are OK.
Not sure. I lost 2/3 of my bookmarks after the upgrade. Never was able to get them back.
yes, it is really better.. both GigaOM site and my wordpress editor page have shown improvement.
firefox 3.5 is indeed snappy and pretty fast; except for the initial boot up. i think just a little bit slower than chrome 2.0. Of course google chrome is the fastest of all!. I think the new tracemonkey javascript engine is killer. Most of my add ons still work except for real player record plug-in; which is a huge dissapointment for me. Hopefully realplayer and/or Mozilla willl fix that. So although i am deeply sadened by the absence of real player record plug in; The big increase in speed and quickness of firefox 3.5 VS firefox 3.0.11 to almost as fast as chrome 2 will keep me with firefox and I wil keep chrome as a reliable backup. IE 8 is much slower than both of these browers. Chrome 2.0 still remains the unchallenged speed demon of the bunch.
FireFox is fuckin' ugly. Chrome and Safari are my fav. I use Chrome the most because it puts my passwords in for me on all sites unlike every other browser. When I go to Myspace all I have to do is click sign in and that's it rather than having to type in the password everytime. I still have to keep iExplorer because certain features on sites won't work with Chrome or Safari.
woaaaaaaaaa this is really quick, Firefox has finally got the speed it lacked in previous versions.I just downloaded and this is really good. Still discovering all other minor changes that might have been introduced. Let us see how better 3.5 is apart from speed.
USourceIT: Riskfree IT outsourcing/sourcing partner for SMBs/SMEs
I'm really a big fan of Mozilla Firefox.Also rather than Opera or Internet Explorer.I always prefer and recommend Mozilla Firefox.It's fast,easy and secured browser.All attributing various cool features also i guess the new Firefox 3.5 should be the best one of all the old versions.
I'm gonna download it sooner.
Need to update the post icon to the new Firefox logo ;-)
slower to start-up the application – consistently (chrome is the fastest), after its loaded webpage browsing does seems faster.
Got it and love it. It does feel quicker loading more complex pages than before.
Meks- Firebug and ColorPicker have 3.5 versions (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843 and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/271, respectively). Not sure about Web Developer toolbar. I was a bit worried about upgrading for the same reason- for whatever reason, Firefox didn't find the upgrades.
I think most of the plugins will be up-to-date soon enough. I am sure you can run two instances of the browser on your computer – the old and the new one.
this is bad advice for anyone who wants to keep their Norton Safe Web and Anti-Phishing toolbars working. these are currently incompatible with Firefox 3.5….
Rich… good point. Sometimes we Mac guys don't remember those points. Sorry about that and glad you brought it up.
Unfortunately my Norton Safe Web (Norton Internet Security 2009) does not work with Firefox 3.5. I have already abandoned Google Chrome just because. What else can I do? The only option is keep my Internet Explorer…
No: change your antivirus ! I got the same problem with NIS 29009. But I tried ff 3.5 on my second PC with Kaspersky and it worked absolutely perfect !
… change to Opera.
I run version 10.0.3beta, and its faster than Firefox.
FF is ditched because its a spaghetti of core and "add-ons". The problem with the "add-ons" is that they work differently, every one has their way of doing things that differs slightly. Simple things like "Save As" becomes a nightmare when you loose track of the "add-on" used that will then determine where the file was saved on my disk.
Opera has "Widgets" that works within the Opera framework. It also has a complete email client, and industry customers that demands reliability and not just performance.
… but then it is not invented in the USA.
Nice. But have they fixed the memory issue which causes the flash plugin to stutter? Its not a problem with flash but with Firefox. I researched it.
This issue caused me to use Firefox as a secondary browser, and switch to the excellent Safari 4.x browser. Now video watching is fun again, and my secondary browser has all the plugins which I rarely need to switch to unless i need to debug something.
"Here we saw an experiment that tested the memory usage of Firefox 3.5 and Google Chrome 3.0, along with Safari 4.0 and Opera 10 (some pre-release versions). The memory watcher program that recorded and accumulated memory every three seconds over 19.2 minutes of intense browsing in four browsers at semi-random intervals reported figures that place Firefox 3.5 in the clear lead in memory usage. Firefox 3.5 showed the best memory efficiency in the average, maximum and final measurements."
I just went to Symantec website, and they said they are due to release a hotfix on 7-15. See this at: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20090630125147EN&lg=en&seg=hho&ct=us&pvid=nis_2009&selected_nav=5
When looking at the update option through FF, it says all of my most oft-used plugins would be disabled if I upgrade. These include Web Developer, Firebug, ColorPicker, and others. Maybe I'll wait.

4th District Recall update
May 3, 2013 Leave a comment
As you see from the J-T story http://journaltimes.com/news/local/effort-to-recall-alderman-afoot—th-district-resident/article_c1463418-b436-11e2-8bd8-001a4bcf887a.html
The counter to the recall effort will be the history of some of the group trying to recall, and how evil they are and only angry at the one true hero protecting his area.
I myself got messages about the CCAP of one on the group, and was told "they" (The pro Kaplin forces) will look at family members to see what dirt can be dug up.
Well as I have herd local politics are the most vicious as I think this effort will prove, I think.
I do hope that I am wrong on this point because as I see it, this group (the recall group) is not playing and IMHO the same coin will be paid in return. We can and should keep this above board.
We will also see more use of Media in the effort I expect to see T.V. spots produced.
Had lunch on Douglas today about 30 Blacks/Whites/Hispanics wow, talk about pissed off. I took the time to ask why the overwhelming dislike. The answer in a nut shell was this group (not the group) feel that Kaplin works 1st and last for The Mayor not the district. Also if your Black or Hispanic do not bother to call.
Oh well interesting times

A potential retail marijuana shop at 36th Street and Main Avenue has neighbors in a fighting mood.
Rocky Mountain High Recreational Center received its permit from the Planning Department Wednesday, but it still must receive a city license through the Local Licensing Authority to open.
Many neighbors are concerned about the additional traffic that a retail store will bring to 36th Street, which is largely residential. The corner of 36th Street and Main Avenue is on a blind curve, and it would pose a safety hazard to customers and residents, the neighbors argued in their petition.
"Even if it was a McDonald's, it would be the same problem," said Elizabeth Salkind, a neighbor.
Six comments were received within the official comment period that ended Oct. 31. But since then, about 15 other neighbors have sent the city a range of comments about the shop's impact on parking and safety. Others raised concerns about the shop's proximity to Pioneer Park and children in the neighborhood.
"We don't need the traffic, we don't need the danger it poses and you wouldn't want it for your 5-year-old either," wrote Danna Manganaro in her letter to the city.
The six comments filed in time for city consideration raised legitimate concerns about parking, access and the neighborhood's character, a memo to the city manager said. However, there was nothing to justify a denial, the memo said.
The city is legally required to inform only residents living within 300 feet of a new recreational pot shop. More than 30 property owners received a personalized mailer letting them know that the former office building could be converted into a marijuana shop. A notice was also staked in the yard, said Greg Hoch, director of planning and community development.
Salkind, who lives within 300 feet of the shop, was particularly concerned because she did not receive a postcard about the shop. Her address is not available to the general public on the La Plata County Assessor's website because her husband is a law-enforcement officer, she said.
As a result, Hoch said his office did not have any information about her property.
"We had to follow our law to the T, and we did," he said. He also pointed out a sign had been staked in the building's yard to inform the public.
However, Salkind argued that the planning department was not thorough in informing neighbors.
She said the neighborhoods are still considering what their next steps would be now that the shop's permit has been approved.
A phone call to Rocky Mountain High Recreation Center was not returned as of Thursday evening.
This story has been updated to reflect the correct number of comments filed within the official comment period. An incorrect number was in a version of the memo. The number of property owners who received a mailer also has been corrected. Finally, a prior version incorrectly characterized the neighborhood. The retail store may be moving to a street that is largely residential.

Downton Abbey is "almost like watching a horror movie that scares you and stimulates your senses"
Ahead of series four, producer Gareth Neame says shocking deaths of Lady Sybil and Matthew Crawley are "what we go for"
Downton Abbey's producer Gareth Neame has likened the hit ITV period drama to a horror film, saying: "It's almost like watching a horror movie that scares you and stimulates your senses but you come back for more and you enjoy it."
The comparison is certainly one that fans of core characters Matthew Crawley and Lady Sybil will agree with, after they both met shocking and gruesome ends during the last series.
Speaking at yesterday's series four launch, Neame opened up about the decision to kill the stars off in the way they did, saying: "Shocking as all off that was, those big life and death situations will happen to any family from time to time and in a drama that's what we go for… These moments are the stuff of this kind of drama. Although it is very romantic and it is hopefully laugh-out-loud funny at times and it's got big, sweeping, dramatic stories, it is about those big twists and turns and surprises."
"I'm conscious of about 8, 10, 12 million Christmas days having been brought to a sudden and abrupt end," he said, referencing the surprise ending of the festive special, which saw Matthew Crawley perish at the wheel of his car moments after meeting his first born son. "But I think we'd be pretty shocked if there hadn't been a lot of noise about that. It was the whole circumstance. At least with the death of Sybil… the episode was about this very complicated delivery, so you had a sense that something might be happening.
"We did a complete reverse trick to that in the last episode," he continued, "where we almost indulged ourselves in the highest moment of happiness that Matthew and Mary ever had and then, after what was actually a relatively light episode with that holiday in Scotland, suddenly there's the sting in the tail."
"We are seeing a return to this must-see, in-the-moment drama. Those kind of episodes are really what we have to protect and cherish to keep the stakes as they are, to keep this as a show that everyone has to watch."
Downton Abbey returns to ITV this autumn for an eight-part series and a Christmas special

Beginning at the End
Every magic trick has, at its heart, one key effect. Of course, there might be several effects, but there is one moment in the trick that hits the hardest and leaves the greatest impact on the spectator. For example, in the classic chop cup routine, a small ball is removed from a cup by the magician and the cup placed on the table. When the magician lifts the cup, the ball has returned!
This is repeated several times until the cup is lifted and something surprising, like a lemon or a baseball appears under the cup. This ending is memorable because of its surprising nature, but also because of the construction of the trick itself. When constructing a trick, magicians typically start with the ending and work backwards to make sure that the primary effect is both startling and plausible. This ensures that the magic trick has the maximum affect possible.
We can use this principle in our writing as well. If you know how the story will end, you can make sure that the rest of the story supports and even enhances the ending. It even makes revisions a bit easier because, with a clear view of the ending, we authors can cut anything that doesn't support the ending.
Before trying it with your own work, here's an exercise to practice this approach:
- Pick one of the wonderful books below.
- If it's a picture book, turn to the last page and read the ending. You may need to read a few more pages to get the whole ending. If it's a novel, read the final chapter. Again, you may need to read the final two or three chapters to get the gist of the ending.
- Summarize the ending in one or two sentences. Identify the main characters, and what was accomplished.
- Work backwards from the ending and create a story outline or summary that would lead up to the ending you've just read.
- Re-read your outline or summary. Do all the parts support the ending? If not, revise your work.
It's most helpful to do this with a book you've never read but is still useful with works you're familiar with. Feel free to try this exercise with a couple of books. Then, turn your attention to your current work in progress. Repeat the steps above. You may find ways to tweak the story and make it stronger, or you might find (as I did with my story "The Magic Day Mystery") that you've completely changed the story. Either way, if you're looking for a way to end your story strong, give this exercise a try.
Here are some books with endings I love. Feel free to use one or more of these for the exercise or choose some of your own.
Picture Books
- No, David by David Shannon
- Be a Friend by Salina Yoon
- The Word Collector by Peter H. Reynolds
- The Adventures of Beekle by Dan Santat
Chapter Books & Novels
- Judy Moody Was in a Mood by Megan McDonald
- Clementine by Sara Pennypacker
- The Last Last-Day-of-Summer by Lamar Giles
- The Moon Within by Aida Salazar
- Garvey's Choice by Nikki Grimes
Well, that's all for this month. Happy writing (and revising) and have a magical month.

Opinion by: Stephanie H.

In order to understand the Covington Catholic Controversy, it's important to understand that the situation requires more context than what is received in watching multiple videos on the same event. It's also important to understand the place where it occurred and the importance of those hats in US politics because the situation would not have received as much coverage nor would it be as complex if those hats didn't serve as a catalyst for public outrage.
In a short viral video, a group of white teens wearing "Make America Great Again" hats surrounded a small group of Native American demonstrators. The demonstrators included an elder from the Omaha tribe, Nathan Phillips. One of the kids was identified as Covington Catholic High School student, Nick Sandmann. After watching the short 30 second clip, I originally thought the situation was simple and straightforward — privileged racist white kids harassing a peaceful Native protester. However, after watching extended footage, the specifics don't help to decipher who has an accurate perspective of the situation, which, on top of providing a skeleton explaining the US' current ideological divides, is probably why there's so much controversy. The MAGA hats only help in complicating the situation even further.
The addition of the MAGA hats add on to the air of intimidation already present amongst the students. The hats were a catalyst for an already distressing situation. For many, the hats not only support the president, but his anti-minority views for making America great and suddenly an argument about the morality of such actions displayed by the students became an argument about political movements and beautifully present the importance of identity-politics in the US's political climate.
Initially, the condemnation of the kids was uniform. Covington Catholic even stated that it would investigate the incident. However, eventually left-wing activists denounced the students for their actions whilst right-wing media argued that the students were being treated unfairly. Donald Trump also decided to voice his take in a tweet, stating that "the students of Covington have become symbols of fake news and how evil it can be".
In one article published in the libertarian publication Reason, it was essentially argued that the kids did nothing wrong, as "far from engaging in racially motivated harassment, the group of mostly white, MAGA-hat-wearing male teenagers remained relatively calm and restrained". It must be noted that the article did not condemn Phillips for intervening, but instead the Black Hebrew Israelites and claimed that "the teens couldn't quite decide whether Phillips was on their side or not, but tentatively joined in his chanting". The article, whilst ignoring evidence of wrongdoings on the students' part such as the one student who decided to do a tomahawk chop, did raise a point about rushing to judgement.
From my perspective, it is undeniable that the actions of the kids were lacking judgement and the best thing to have done was to walk away. From my perspective, more people should be talking about the actions of the Black Hebrew Israelites. And from my perspective, it is also undeniable that the hats were a poor choice that day. Anyone who wears those hats knows the significance of them and who stands against them. They should not have had any place on a school trip. Ironically, it is the teachers that apparently did not have a place on a school trip, whilst those hats did.

In case you forget, remember who pulled you out of your own chaos and shortcomings, who erased your guilt and your shame, who loved you in all your good and bad combined until you were pounded into mere dust. He saved you – do not ever forget that. God was there in your hurting, and He is now in your healing. Remember He who who has forgiven you, who has accepted you, who has prepared a feast because you returned from your life of sin. He calls the lost and loves them whole-heartedly. Because you have been loved and forgiven, so should you be more loving and forgiving of yourself and others as well. Please do not forget that He does not see how bad you can be – only you are the one who sees that. God sees how good you can be. God sees how good we all can be. He gave us a chance, it's time for us to take it.
In case you forget, remember Jay Enrile's Thank You. Remember Switchfoot. Remember Gungor's Late Have I Loved You. Remember The Sing Team's Satisfied in You. Remember the songs you listened to, that helped you go through the toughest of times. Remember the books you read and the notes you wrote to yourself and called 'reminders' because you easily forget or overlook them. Remember all the people who saved you, who loved you at your worst, who had the concern and time to discipline you when you needed it, who made you grow, who inspired you to have a more intimate relationship with Christ, who made you reconsider surrendering and having faith, who pointed you to God.
In case you forget, let me tell you how encouraging and inspiring you are. Look at you – you're growing! Years ago, you were so painfully shy, and you couldn't look at people in the eye. You couldn't buy at stores and couldn't talk much properly with others. And not just that – you have gone through so much. Don't be so hard on yourself. You know what you have been through, all the bad thoughts, all the crying, the regret, the doubt, the shame, all the honest talks with God at night and the in-betweens at work – you do not need to defend yourself. Sometimes, it is better to keep quiet and pray. Please tell yourself that you have been strong even in the face of being exposed to your own weaknesses. You're learning that sadness and loneliness are not to be afraid of but something to help you in knowing what to ask for from God. These negative emotions help you in seeking honesty more with yourself and with Him. You are not where you have been. You are taking baby steps, but look at how far you and God have gone together. The bones in your arms are twisting, tingling, because they are happy for carrying your pains across to the Lord who lightens your burdens. Learn from the past and let go. Live in today.
In case you forget, you are loved and you have been blessed, so stop worrying, stop going over the past, forgive yourself for the seventy-seventh time and continue your walk with God and be surprised where He will take you.
In case your forget, remember seeing the face of God in your Mom and your Dad, your two closest friends since elementary school, and all the people who helped you to reach where you are today. You are alive, you are breathing, you are growing, you are blooming, you are forgiving, you are trusting, you are believing, you are walking, you are running, you are learning, you are loving yourself. And when you are learning that, God sees that it is time for you to love others all the more starting today. Because you have love from Him, now you can pass it on.
In case you forget, you are loved by God more than you will ever know. You are loved by your Mima and Dida, your closest friends, your pets Siba, Twixie, Harry, Huey, Portia, Sweater, and Mocha, your tita's and tito's, your Nanay and Tatay, your cousins, and your friends you met on Tumblr. Is there anything more that you can ask for?
I thought so.
You are loved.
At the end of the day, that is what truly matters.
Now, pass it on, child. Pass on the love from above.
Arli, 22

Jake Owen
The power of simplicity is on full display here.
Jake Owen's new single is a powerful ballad because it's not a power ballad. He pairs an intimate and quite painful lyrics with a piano and subtle backing vocals.
That's it. He trusts the song and his ability to deliver it without anything else getting in the way.
His confidence is well founded. Though the song starts a bit too slowly, it develops into a fully realized performance that's as good as anything I've heard this year from a radio artist.

College and pro football are right around the corner. Let's get ready by counting down the top 50 pro prospects for the 2017 class.
#10 Jonathan Allen, DE, Alabama
Allen is a handful as an end in Saban's 3-4. He is too powerful for most tackles and too quick when he lines up over a G. Allen is a special player that can both tie up blockers freeing up some of his teammates and he can also get after it in pursuit. Allen recorded 12 sacks last season for the national champs and tallied another 14.5 tackles for loss. He will be racing Tim Williams (#17 on this list) this season to the ball carrier trying to match or exceed those numbers.
#9 Jamal Adams, S, LSU
Jamal Adams is the kind of S that teams can build their defense around. He has superior instincts and is always around the ball in the passing game taking calculated angles. Adams is physical and does an excellent job in the box in the run game as well-occasionally even lining up as a LB for LSU. Expect Adams to have even a bigger year for LSU this fall.
#8 Roderick Johnson, T, Florida State
Johnson might be the safest and truest LT eligible to enter the draft next year. FSU knew what they were doing when they surprised everyone by moving star Cam Erving from LT to C in 2014 to make room for Johnson. Look for Johnson to continue to win his match-ups against some of the top notch ends that the ACC puts out every season. Pass rushers have a difficult time getting around Johnson's long reach. Roderick will move up even higher if he shows more punch in the run game and he can improve the consistency in his footwork.
#7 JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC
There are several safeties in the college game that strike fear in receivers crossing the middle of the field. JuJu is a rare WR that is so physical, elusive, and explosive that the roles reverse when his number is called between the hashes. Smith-Schuster plays with no fear and attacks the ball at its highest point. He will have to adjust to a new QB in 2016 so it will be interesting to see if that affects his numbers this season. JuJu is an elite play-maker but probably won't post an elite 40 time at the combine.
#6 Jalen Tabor, CB, Florida
Tabor lined up opposite of Hargreaves (11th pick in the draft last season) to form the top CB tandem in college football. Tabor is the better NFL prospect of the two. Expect teams to avoid him at all costs this season. Tabor possesses good size, excellent rout recognition, is a steady tackler, has soft hands, and top-level agility. Tabor is an attacking style CB that will start right away and has the potential to be a top 5-10 man to man cover corner on Sundays. Tabor is not afraid to come down the line of scrimmage and make a play in the run game.

CAMPAIGNERS both for and against the proposed Navitus Bay wind farm have welcomed the expansion of a larger site in the North Sea.
The latest stage of the Dogger Bank Zone offshore wind farm, located around 100 miles off the coast from Whitby, was approved by the Energy Secretary Amber Rudd on Wednesday.
It takes the total output of projects in the zone to 4.8 gigawatts, almost equal to all the offshore wind capacity now in operation in the UK.
Groups in favour of the Navitus proposal in Poole Bay have welcomed the decision as a demonstration of the government's "commitment" to offshore wind, while those opposed have argued that the Dogger Bank scheme's distance from the shore strengthens their case.
Angela Pooley, co-ordinator of East Dorset Friends of the Earth, said: "We welcome this news. It goes to show that the government still has a commitment to offshore wind, and we hope this means the Navitus project will go ahead.
"I think we can feel more confident as a result."
Bournemouth Green Party councillor Simon Bull said: "The size of the Dogger Bank installation illustrates how important offshore wind energy is to the future of the UK energy mix.
"I hope that this sends a positive message to the government, and to politicians and councils in Dorset and on the Isle of Wight."
The decision was also "welcomed" by the Navitus Bay Development Company.
Bournemouth West MP Conor Burns, who has campaigned against Navitus, said he believed the government would treat each case on its merits.
"The campaign against Navitus is not against renewable energy, we welcome that," he said. "The salient thing to understand is that But the Dogger Bank project is 80 miles off the Yorkshire coast – the key point of difference is the proximity to the shore."
Mr Burns has argued in parliament that the government would meet its off shore wind targets without Navitus being approved.
Philip Dewhurst, of Poole and Christchurch Bays Association, said: "There's bags of room on the Dogger Bank site to accommodate several Navitus Bay wind farms. We have always strongly urged that any additional capacity should be installed there.
"You can't see that site from the shore, and everyone apart from a handful of activists feels Navitus is the wrong site for such a huge project."
n The Navitus Bay project comprises up to 121 turbines, up to 200 metres high. The future of the project now rests with the Secretary of State Ms Rudd, who is due to decide by September 11.

It's been five days since Terri Schiavo received any food or water from a Florida Hospice bedroom where she's currently wasting away.
Air America Radio is pleased the court won't demand that caregivers "force-feed" the "brain dead woman," as if Mrs. Schiavo is really brain dead, a term that is medically defined as someone who is truly deceased...you know, not living - should be in a casket by now.
Liberals have told me to just accept it, just leave it alone. The courts have ruled. Get over it.
"Yes, um, Mrs. Brown, I know your daughter was slain by a knife-wielding maniac and her killer walks free and plays golf in Miami every Sunday morning, but the court found him not guilty – and because our legal system is perfect – you'll just have to 'accept it.'"
Sorry, but I won't accept a judge's ruling that is based on sole testimony of a husband who claims in private he was told by Mrs. Schiavo that she wouldn't want to be kept alive by "extreme measures."
Fair enough, but who are we (or Mr. Schiavo) to say that "extreme measures" includes a mere feeding tube that supplies food and water?
Mr. Schiavo could have confirmed, "Sure honey, but should I still grant your wish if you can breathe on your own, recognize stimuli and respond to affection by your family?" But he didn't, therefore I cannot just accept it.
I can't accept it because doctors, including Nobel Prize candidates, believe they can rehabilitate her. I can't accept it because nurses have testified via sword affidavit that she has tried to communicate with them, and one nurse, Carla Sauer Iyer, overheard Mr. Schiavo exclaiming, 'When is that b---h gonna die?'"
But most importantly, I cannot accept the method by which we're letting Mrs. Schiavo die. Why can't we give her a sedative and administer lethal injection? It would take minutes, not weeks. It would be painless, not torture.
No state could get away with administering such justice to a convicted murderer, because depriving a human of food and water – no matter how depraved -- is cruel and unusual. That's no way to treat a killer. That's no way to treat an innocent woman.
Just Accept It
It's been five days since Terri Schiavo received any food or water from a Florida Hospice bedroom where she's currently wasting away.

Samuli Savo appointed Executive Vice President of Enfo's IT services and outsourcing business area
Samuli Savo (b. 1975, M.Sc. (Eng.)) has been appointed EVP of Enfo Group's IT services and outsourcing business area and a member of the Group's Executive Management Team starting from 1 August 2015.
Samuli Savo will transfer to his new position from consulting company Gartner, and will be responsible for Enfo's IT services and outsourcing business area. This is the Group's largest business area, employing nearly 400 IT professionals at four locations in Finland and Sweden.
"Samuli is an excellent addition to Enfo's Executive Management Team. He has solid experience in developing and managing IT services business in an international operating environment. Through his latest post, he also has an excellent understanding of how Enfo can best help its customers in the changes caused by the ongoing process of digitalization. The new business potential offered by cloud services, analytics and internet of things is a good example of such changes," says Arto Herranen, CEO of Enfo Group.
"IT is an ever more important driver in terms of the competitiveness of all companies. However, companies are always looking for a balance between maintaining their current IT environment and investing in new opportunities. In particular, medium-sized companies are facing a challenging situation as their IT environment, which has grown over the years, is often a complex one, but they rarely have the resources to develop IT. What is more, most IT service providers are mainly interested in serving larger corporations.
That is why I believe that Enfo has the capacity to gain significant growth in the Nordic region by focusing on medium-sized companies. We will help customers find a balance in their IT development by making it easier for them to seize new opportunities," Savo says.
Osmo Wilska, who previously held the position, is currently responsible for outsourcing operations in Enfo's Financial Process services.
Samuli Savo's LinkedIn profile is available at https://www.linkedin.com/in/samulisavo.

Large Grip Kickboard
Regular price
In Stock
The Vorgee Large Grip Kickboard will stand out in the pool with its bright colours. The grip holes increase grip and allow different positions when training and it's made from high-quality EVA foam for comfort and durability.
- Improve balance and body position in the water: Rest your arms on the board and press your armpits down to bring your hips up in the water - if you just hold the kickboard your head will be up which makes your hips lower in the water creating drag. You should kick from your hips for a nice big powerful kick. Ankles should stay below the surface to create more leverage and forward motion.
- Practice your kick stroke: Using a kickboard isolates your legs so that you can concentrate on your technique as you are not having to think about your arms. Some swimmers rely too much on their arms and drag their legs through the water. This will make you swim slowly and tire you out quickly
- Improve leg strength: using a kickboard gives your legs an isolated work out and will build up lower body strength and endurance.
- Classic kickboard shape
- High quality EVA construction
- Good stability and appropriate floatation
- Designed for men and women of all ages
- Ideal swim training aid
- 2 grip holes at the top of the board

Surprise, AZ (August 30, 2019) This summer, 20 Surprise teens in the city's Summer Youth Employment Program gained invaluable work experience alongside city staff, and also earned the Arizona Career Readiness Credential (ACRC).
Maricopa County's Human Services Department, through its Workforce Development Division, was proud to partner with the City of Surprise in bringing the ACRC to these participants. The ACRC was created after extensive research by the governor's office, as a way to highlight the talent of the Arizona workforce by validating an individual's mastery of seven core skill areas that are the most relevant to a large majority of today's jobs. These skills include applied mathematics, locating information, reading for information, thinking critically/problem solving, conveying professionalism, effective communication and promoting teamwork and collaboration.
The desired effect is that jobseekers will be able to demonstrate to potential employers that they have mastered the skills most important to success.
According to Workforce Development trainer Jerry Claudio, the ACRC is just what the market ordered.
"Employers were looking for a way to both scout talent and ensure that workers are indeed job-ready. The ACRC meets those two objectives very well. In our pilot programs we have seen attainment rates of 80 to 90 percent. In addition, the soft skills curriculum has been very well received by youth and adults alike. The credential is a great addition to any résumé. It helps jobseekers stand out among the competition and shows future employers that the candidate is ready to go from day one."
For more information about earning the Arizona Career Readiness Credential, please visit www.acrc.az.gov/about or contact 602-372-4200.
