Román Piña Chán (San Francisco de Campeche, Campeche, 29 de febrero de 1920 - Ciudad de México, 10 de abril de 2001) fue un arqueólogo y antropólogo mexicano.

Biografía

Nació en el barrio de San Román, famoso por la construcción de barcos mercantes y embarcaciones de pescadores; Piña Chán estudió en Campeche, en la Escuela Industrial y en la ciudad de México en la Vocacional 4 del Instituto Politécnico Nacional.

Profesor emérito del Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, sus estudios sobre las culturas prehispánicas, principalmente las del centro y Golfo de México, ayudaron a caracterizar y periodizar la etapa que llamó Preclásico y se aprecian en Las culturas preclásicas de la Cuenca de México (1955).

Su labor en el enriquecimiento de la historia del pasado quedó pasmada en unas 100 publicaciones, entre las que destacan Tlatilco (1958), Quetzalcóatl, Serpiente Emplumada (1977), y Culturas y ciudades de los mayas (1959), en las que reunió un importante material de investigación.

También hizo estudios en la Escuela Nacional de Antropología e Historia mediante una beca en la especialidad de antropología física, y más tarde, estuvo a cargo de diversos trabajos para el Museo Nacional de Antropología de México.

El primer encuentro de lo que sería una fructífera carrera fue en la práctica de campo a Tzintzuntzan, en Michoacán, bajo la dirección de Rubín de la Borbolla.

En adelante no se detendría, pues participó en los trabajos de salvamento arqueológico de Chupícuaro, Guanajuato, donde permaneció por una larga temporada. En Uxmal con Alberto Ruz, que dirigía la temporada de campo, con el arquitecto José Erosa Peniche; así como a la Isla de Jaina, Campeche, que dieron origen a varias publicaciones.

En 1949, el arqueólogo regresó a México donde fue comisionado para la exploración del cementerio de Tlatilco, a cargo de Arturo Romano, para entonces, su pasión por la arqueología ya estaba decidido, pero sus estudios no. Posteriormente, Borbolla le ofreció un trabajo para el cual Piña tenía que titularse. En 1951, la experiencia de Tlatilco, realizó su tesis llamada El horizonte Preclásico del Valle de México y presentó su examen profesional.

Su labor fue incansable, de los numerosos trabajos de campo cabe mencionar los de Chalcatzingo y Atlihuayán, en Morelos; el de Tlapacoya, en México; Comalcalco, en la Venta, y los reconocimientos arqueológicos en la cuenca del río Grijalva, en Tabasco, todo ello entre 1945 y 1960. En la década siguiente realizó trabajos arqueológicos en Mulchic y el Cenote de Chichén Itzá, en Yucatán; La Ventilla, en Teotihuacán, Estado de México y en Cuicuilco, en el sur de la Ciudad de México.

A partir de 1970 y durante 10 años, estuvo a cargo de la dirección del Proyecto Teotenango y el de Huamango, ambos en el Estado de México; posteriormente en Tingambato, Michoacán, cuando desempeñaba el cargo de director del Centro Regional México-Michoacán. De 1980 a 1984 dirigió y coordinó el Proyecto Campeche, hasta que en Becán ocurrió un lamentable accidente que el 13 de septiembre mermó sensiblemente su salud.

Como resultado de las investigaciones arqueológicas que realizó en Palenque, Bonampak, Jaina, Edzná, Chichén Itzá, Uxmal y otros sitios de la región maya, así como sus trabajos etnohistóricos, relativos a Quetzalcóatl, Tula y los toltecas, publicó la tesis Historia, arqueología y arte prehispánico (1972).

También, realizó una importante labor en la rama científica y educativa en la planeación, así como asesoría antropológica y realización de museos, entre los que destaca la curaduría del Museo Nacional de Antropología y su reconocida carrera de docente en la INAH y otras instituciones. A lo largo de su vida compartió sus conocimientos en diversas conferencias alrededor de la República y en publicaciones como: "Chichén Itzá, La Ciudad de los brujos del agua (1980), "Ensayo histórico-cultural" (1960), "Bonampak" (1961) y "Cultura y ciudades mayas de Campeche" (1985), entre otras.

El arqueólogo Román Piña murió a consecuencia de un derrame cerebral, el 10 de abril de 2001, en el Hospital Ángeles, de la Ciudad de México. Desde 1996 se realiza el Simposio Román Piña Chan, en el marco de la Feria del Libro de Antropología e Historia, en busca de impulsar y dar continuidad a las culturas prehispánicas que sustentan la historia del país.

Obras publicadas

Piña Chan fue un escritor sobresaliente, y dejó impreso en varios libros, revistas y artículos especializados tanto nacionales como extranjeros el fruto de una larga experiencia.

Alex Trebek Opens Up About Feeling 'Moments of Depression, Sadness' Amid Battle With Pancreatic Cancer
By Meredith Nardino
Alex Trebek John Salangsang/Variety/Shutterstock
Alex Trebek received a huge outpouring of support since revealing he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March, but fighting this disease has had an unexpected side effect.
Celebrity Health Scares
The longtime Jeopardy! host, 79, opened up about facing his battle with stage IV cancer during a one-hour ABC News special, airing Thursday, January 2. Trebek reflected on an emotional November episode of the classic quiz show, when a contestant sidestepped the question in front of him and expressed his love for Trebek instead. Dhruv Gaur caught the host by surprise when he wrote, "What is … We love you, Alex," as his final answer.
"I read it first and then I got choked up because it suddenly registered on me: 'Oh, dear. OK. Yeah,'" Trebek said to ABC News. "I don't mind getting choked up. My oncologist told me one of the symptoms, if you will, of pancreatic cancer is that you get these moments of depression, sadness."

— 20/20 (@ABC2020) December 30, 2019
Trebek first announced his shocking diagnosis to the world in a YouTube video in March, when he vowed that he would continue working while he fought and received treatment. Shortly after giving the emotional update on his health, the pop culture icon thanked the "hundreds of thousands" of fans who sent their love and prayers to him and his family.
Shocking TV Exits
"I won't be able to respond to all of you individually, but I did want you to know that I do read everything I receive. And I am thankful for the kind words, the prayers and the advice you have offered. And I'm extremely touched by the warmth you have expressed in your comments to me. I'm a lucky guy," Trebek said in a video shared to the Jeopardy! Twitter account that same month.
Fans aren't the only ones supporting Trebek as he continues his battle with pancreatic cancer. Fellow game show mainstay Vanna White commended the Jeopardy! host for his bravery and gave a promising update on her friend's health.
Stars Who Beat Cancer
"He looks good. I talked to him recently and he's got a very positive attitude," White, 62, told Us Weekly exclusively on December 10. "He's still working, he's obviously doing chemotherapy but working through it, and has that strong will to, as we say, the show must go on."
What Is Jeopardy? Alex Trebek and America's Most Popular Quiz Show airs on ABC on Thursday, January 2, at 8 p.m. ET.

An intimate look inside the Revelstoke Food Bank – Part 3
Randy Gribble loads food for distribution. Gribble is a long-time volunteer at the Food Bank and says that his involvement with the Food Bank has helped him grow as a person. Laura Stovel photo
Randy Gribble stands alert at the bottom of a temporary ramp leading down the stairs below the Legion Hall into the Revelstoke Food Bank, waiting for a box of tinned food to hurtle down at him. When it comes he swoops it up and loads it on a trolley.
"I've grown a lot" through my involvement with the Food Bank, he said. Several years ago Gribble came to the Food Bank from a community referral and he's been volunteering there ever since.
That's how it seems to be with Food Bank volunteers: people start when there's an opening and they stay for years. It's clear that the Food Bank offers much more than food: it offers a positive and safe social environment that allows people to contribute and to belong.
Tim Butcher, who does pick-ups around town and then pitches in to fill hampers, started when the Food Bank's delivery person asked him to fill in for him. "Here I am, four years later," he said proudly.
Butcher picks up soup from Mountain Meals on Thursdays, bread from La Baguette (and sometimes The Modern Bakery) on Fridays, and then he picks up a load from the Food Bank warehouse. He, like many others I spoke with, mentioned the huge gap left after the PT Market closed as that store donated produce generously. "That had a huge impact," Butcher said. "The PT Market is really missed."
At the back of the room, Lynette Percher organizes books for Food Bank clients. A shy

woman, who describes herself as a "hermit," has been volunteering just over a year. "This is like my family," she said.
Like many – though not all – Food Bank volunteers, Percher also receives food there. Between her disability pension, the Food Bank and help from her mother, she just gets by. "My mom is my savior," she said. "Because from what I get from disability, I've got to pay rent, bills, and I have a cat." Her situation points to the challenges of living on a disability pension and the need for either greater pension support or strong community help.

At another table Gladys Dyer and Deb Thibeault measure coffee into plastic bags. Dyer has volunteered at the Food Bank for many years while Thibeault started only for months ago. "I used to work at the PT Market and was in charge of packing the Food Bank produce," she said. "I like to give back because I've been so blessed in my life."
When the Cooper's shipment arrives the packaging begins. The monthly food hampers are filled with fresh produce, bulk dry goods are packaged, and Food Bank coordinator Patti Larson keeps track of it all.
But Larson is worried. "For the first time that I can remember our cupboards are bare," she said. The Cooper's shipment is not a donation. "We spend $3,000 to $4,000 a month on food, depending on what our needs are." The Food Bank alternates between buying from Cooper's and from Southside grocery stores. Cooper's sometimes donates some close-dated items and both stores host some programs but otherwise food has to be purchased. That's why community donations are so important.
In a comment on the first of this three-part series on the Food Bank, Larson noted ways in which people can donate, including donating Save-on-More points at Cooper's, using the $2.00 coupons at Coopers and Southside, and donate food in the bins at these stores. However, Cooper's is not yet ready to receive Save-on-More points. They anticipate that they will be ready to receive points next week.
Patty also wrote, "Watch for the Nourish Soup specials at Coopers… it is a great product to donate… a complete meal in one tin! I will be at Coopers on May 25th from 4 – 5pm to promote this special item. Visit our website to see our newest campaign "Feed the Future – Help our Hungry Children."
You can donate in person, online with a one time or an ongoing donation. http://www.community-connections.ca.

O Zugspitze (em alemão: Zug = "trem", Spitze = "pico") é uma montanha situada nos alpes bávaros, no sul do distrito de Garmisch-Partenkirchen. É o ponto mais alto da Alemanha, com os seus 2.962 metros de altitude. Situa-se sobre a fronteira com a Áustria, mas o cume é na Alemanha. O nome tem origem provável nas avalanches, que deixavam marcas bem características de pedras e seixos nas encostas.

Foi pela primeira vez escalado por uma equipa de topógrafos e agrimensores no verão de 1820.

É possível escalá-lo usando trilhas de montanhismo. Da base até ao cume, o tempo de subida é, em média, de dois dias. Comida e alojamento de refúgio encontram-se disponíveis em alguns dos traçados das trilhas.

A altitude precisa do topo do Zugspitze foi matéria controversa durante algum tempo. Os valores estimados situavam-se entre os 2960 m e os 2970 m, mas o valor de altitude usado hoje em dia é consensual pois resulta de um levantamento elaborado pelo Bayerisches Landesvermessungsamt (agência de medidas do estado da Baviera). Por isso o salão do café que se encontra na base a partir da qual é feito o acesso ao monte se chama "2962".

A temperatura mais baixa registada no Zugspitze foi de -35,6°C em 14 de fevereiro de 1940. A mais alta foi em 5 de julho de 1957 quando os termómetros marcaram 17,9°C. Uma rajada em 12 de junho de 1985 registou 335 km/h, a mais alta no Zugspitze. Em abril de 1944 houve queda de neve com altura de 8,3 metros.

O Zugspitze fica numa região com ampla oferta de desportos de inverno e dispõe de um pequeno glaciar, o Schneeferner, que se tem vindo a retrair nas últimas décadas. Local muito turístico, o cume é facilmente acessível por caminho-de-ferro seguido de teleférico, tanto do lado alemão como do lado austríaco. Do cume vê-se quatro países: ao longe vê-se Munique, Alemanha; o Grossvenediger na Áustria; o Piz Bernina na Suíça, e os Dolomitas na Itália.

História

A primeira menção ao Zugspitze remonta a uma descrição de 1590 da fronteira entre o Condado de Werdenfels e a Áustria. O nome Zugspitze era pouco conhecido dois séculos depois, de tal modo que o guia turístico "Reise-Atlas von Baiern" de 1796 não o mencionava. Como os locais viviam da criação de gado e do comércio de madeira, a montanha tinha uma importância económica ou turística nula.

No século XIX, com uma expedição, começou o interesse pelo maciço. Essa expedição partiu no dia 7 de agosto de 1807 de Partenkirchen dirigindo-se para a montanha e era formada pelo conde François Gabriel Graf von Bray, o conde e botânico Kaspar Graf von Sternberg, o professor Charles François Duval, e o general de brigada barão Reinhard Friedrich Freiherr von Werneck, acompanhados por doze guias e carregadores. A meta era investigar o curso do rio Partnach até à nascente e medir a diferença de temperatura durante o percurso. No entanto, o relato do conde von Bray não menciona a montanha.

O cume do Zugspitze foi destruído até ficar irreconhecível. O cume ocidental foi dinamitado na Segunda Guerra Mundial, e o central (e alemão: Mittelgipfel) já o fora antes, para construir um teleférico em 1931. Hoje só se pode distinguir o cume ocidental que tem uma cruz dourada no topo.

Whatever you choose to do, do it with passion, commitment and integrity and, above all, do it with respect for others.
Becoming a successful leader requires a commitment to core values. Attention to your personal core values can help you make decisions, fulfill responsibilities and focus on what is important to you. I encourage emerging leaders to identify and stay true to their core values, which are the foundation for achieving your goals. Below are some of the guiding principles that have helped me along the way.
Set An Example. Approach each job with standards for yourself. This is integral to success. As you do less and lead more, hold tight to quality and integrity through actions, not just words.
Leverage Self-Awareness. There is nothing more powerful than understanding and acknowledging your strengths and weaknesses. Apply your strengths in all situations. Seek out people who are strong in your weak areas so you can learn from them.
Be Yourself. Early in my career I found myself trying to emulate others whom I admired. Once I realized that I needed to learn from these great leaders, not be them, I became more confident in relying on my own expertise and instinct.
Make The Right Choices For You. As my career grew, so did my family. One day I woke up overwhelmed with the weight of so many responsibilities until I realized it was my choices that brought me there. We can't always control the circumstances of our lives, but we can make choices that help meet our need for balance.
Take Risks. I have taken jobs that colleagues told me not to take and taken on roles that I thought I could never do. Have I been scared and worried I would fail? Yes! But the rewards have been greater because I am willing to step out of my comfort zone.
Be Respectful of Others. Whether it is a daily encounter or a major decision impacting many, be respectful of others. My success increasingly relies on mentors, peers, team members and networks. In addition, my decisions affect more and more people. Respecting others, their values and culture is key to success. Writing this essay has given me reason to reflect on my career and what I think has helped me along my path. As I continue my journey, these guiding principles will continue to be my compass.


On this beautiful Autumn Equinox day, day and night stand in balance. Light and darkness, night and day.
I often think of the balance in male – female terms. Opposites, but equal opposites. Magnetic attraction forms between the two polarities. Relationships form, the cornerstones of the lives of many, but often, so difficult!
What follows from now on is a gradual increase of darkness, moving through gentle twilight to the pitch dark night of Winter Solstice around December 22, and then back toward light until Spring Equinox around March 22, and then Summer Solstice around June 22.
Remember the night sky on that longest, darkest of nights on planet earth during Winter Solstice that comes next? If you look up then and there are no city lights obstructing your view, you can see the reminder of light in the stars above. There's always a tinge, just a tiniest trickle of the opposite in everything.
Today, it's a perfect day of balance. Curiously, the Sun that marks this day at 0 degrees Libra has no major aspects, or no other aspects at all – except an out of sign and almost 3 degree orb with Uranus in a quincunx or inconjunct aspect.
This aspect is said to be one of adjustment, that the signs involved have nothing in common, and they need to somehow be balanced to make it work. This time, it's from Libra to Aries since Uranus still has 2.5 degrees to get to 0 degrees Taurus to make the perfect quincunx.
Thinking about this astrologically, the balance needs to be forged between your center, your core, and your urge to be different from the rest, to trailblaze your own path regardless.
Without other, mediating or soft aspects to the Sun, how can this be achieved in the world full of woe, even on beautiful sunny equinox days?
Looking at Uranus, it has an opposition to Moon and Jupiter, and trines to Venus in first degrees of Virgo and Saturn in late Sagittarius.
The key here may well be to use originality and the need to break free together with love (Venus) and discipline (Saturn). And with the Jupiter/Moon – throw in sheer good luck that often comes with Uranus touching Jupiter.
We came here to explore and enjoy, seek and find.
Equinox energy today indicates the balance between opposites is achievable, be it with your partner in love, work, creativity, home, money, health, or spirituality. It's urging to be original, inventive, trust your hunches in true Uranian fashion, and go where no one's gone before in your quest!

Abstract : We describe a new implementation of the well-known incremental algorithm for constructing Delaunay triangulations in any dimension. Our implementation follows the exact computing paradigm and is fully robust. Extensive comparisons show that our implementation outperforms the best currently available codes for exact convex hulls and Delaunay triangulations, compares very well to the fast non-exact qhull implementation and can be used for quite big input sets in spaces of dimensions up to 6. To circumvent prohibitive memory usage, we also propose a modification of the algorithm that uses and stores only the Delaunay graph (the edges of the full triangulation). We show that a careful implementation of the modified algorithm performs only 6 to 8 times slower than the original algorithm while drastically reducing memory usage in dimension 4 or above.


When I was a child my Mother lived for those occasions where she could pull out "the good dishes". She had 3 sets of china: one that had belonged to her Mother, one that had been gifted to her from her Mother-In-Law and the china she registered for when she got married. Creating holiday tablescapes was a pleasurable chore for her around the holidays. The only downside is that I seemed to always get the task of hand-washing all those dishes after the meal since apparently "good dishes" can't go into a dishwasher. Flash forward a couple of decades and life is a bit more informal. It's not that I never use good china, but I'm much more apt to create beautiful tablescapes for baby showers, luncheons, dinner parties and the lot using great monogrammed melamine plates, platters and bowls from our collection. They are colorful, beautiful, personalized AND they don't break if dropped on the floor AND can go in the dishwasher. I like things that make everybody happy.

Los Angeles Firm Monte Carlo Solutions Expands to Represent Authors!
As an author you have heard this a thousand times, "Figure out your target audience and market to them." Authors are told to run their career like a business and treat their book like a product. Well, authors are not thinking about business, they are focused on writing. Furthermore, authors should treat their books as something creative, rather than a product that is boxed and sold.
Monte Carlo Solutions, (MCS) a Los Angeles agency that represents producers, directors', agents, actors, screen writers, concert promoters, and musicians are now expanding their company to assist authors. Their goal is to bridge the gap between corporate thinking and creativity.
Producers bring screenplays to MCS so they can evaluate possible markets and decide where their movies will have the most success around the globe.
How does this benefit authors?
MCS will tell you the best place in the world where you will have the opportunity to sell books, but will do this in a unique way.
Their team includes PhD's and MBA's who are experts in finance, statistics, and analytical methods. These same people consult L.A. talent agencies, movie studios, and Fortune 500 companies.
Most marketing "experts" will tell you to describe your target audience. However, that is not how things are done in the movie business. The screenplays are evaluated based on CHARACTERS and STORYLINES. MCS studies the specifics of the main character and how he/she relates to other characters in the story. This is the secret to how movie production companies have been able to predict where on the planet they would have the best opportunity for success.
As an author that is what you are looking for…best opportunity for success. If you are creating a marketing plan based on the genre of your book, then your chance of success is slim. If you are creating a marketing plan based on the details of your characters and storylines, then you have the best chance to locate the region that you will have the most potential readers.
Why haven't you heard of this yet?
Because this kind of marketing research did not exist for authors. It has been used for the movie business and recently expanded to the music industry. Now, MCS can use the same concept for books.
Be warned, there are several pages of questions that need to be answered about your characters and story, but the questionnaire is sort of like doing an extended interview. When you receive the results you will know where to market your books around the world and even given advice on how to market in those regions.
The questionnaire and report will be sent to you via email. However, MCS is 75% of the way completed with their automated process in which the questionnaire and report can be done online. This was originally suggested by directors and producers so that more screenplays could be evaluated in a shorter period of time. Now, it is being adapted to the book evaluation report as well and is something that MCS has been working on for a year.
Is this marketing information for self-published authors, or traditionally published authors?
If you are publishing your own books, then of course you want accurate regions on where your potential readers can be obtained. This saves you time and money.
If you're seeking an agent or publisher, then the information will go into your query letter. Just imagine that while other authors are discussing their target market based on age, gender, and income levels, you will be detailing your target audience based on your characters and storylines.
Do you feel like your marketing is getting you nowhere?
If you aren't bringing in book sales, then you are marketing to the wrong areas. It's possible that you're trying to sell in an area with 500 potential readers when you could be selling in an area with 500,000 potential readers.
Will all of them by your book? Probably not. But if 20% of targeted readers will purchase your book, then would you want 20% of 500, or 20% of 500,000?
Results of my test run.
Before writing this press release I asked MCS to analyze my teen book series, Middle Room. I went through the process of filling out the questionnaire and allowing MCS to do a full report.
Although I had some success in sales of Middle Room, the book analysis report showed me that I could be doing much, much better. The report gave details why Middle Room failed in certain markets and why I should change my strategy.
This is going to be a game changer for authors and become a way to level the playing field. Contact Monte Carlo Solutions at www.montecarlosolutions.com and discover the best region to be selling your books.

Chapter Closes on the Read House Building
By admin|2021-05-10T08:00:05-04:00May 10, 2021|
The Read House building was demolished on Monday, May 10.
Some of its joists and beams were set aside for use by Cardinal Woodworking, a local carpenter who specializes in building with reclaimed lumber. Cardinal Woodworking is repurposing parts of the building to create unique furniture for the library that honors the history of the Read House.
The library will continue to use the surrounding green space extensively this summer for outdoor story times and other programs for families.
Previously, the Mentor Public Library Board of Trustees voted to enter into a contract with ProSupply Inc. for the abatement and demolition of the Read House building (located next door to our Main Branch at 8245 Mentor Ave.) CT Consultants – the architect on the project – recommended ProSupply as the lowest responsible bidder.
The contract was in the amount of $54,434, including a $5,000 contingency.

Before the building was demolished, many of its unique furnishings were reclaimed and repurposed. Cardinal Woodworking reclaimed some of the building's poplar flooring.
Additionally, Lake History Center is preserving some of its interior furnishings, including doorknobs and light fixtures, for posterity.
And the Mentor Fire Department used the roof for vertical ventilation training.

Parts of the Read House were more than a century old, and the building would have needed extensive repairs if it were to continue being used by the public. While it's difficult to guess how much renovation would cost because any repairs would require asbestos or lead-paint abatement, the library conservatively estimated in 2018 that it would require more than $200,000 for the building to meet public-safety standards. The cost would be even higher now.
The Read Property was purchased it in 2009. The Read House – the building specifically, not the property on which it stands – was available for purchase for 18 months. However, the library didn't receive any offers. The library also contacted the Lake County History Center and Cleveland Restoration Society. While both organizations helpfully shared their expertise, neither were able to help find funds for renovation or were interested in procuring the building themselves.
The Read House lawn provides a unique opportunity to offer outdoor library programming. We've used its lawn and surrounding green space to host concerts, campfires, community art projects, story times, scavenger hunts, nature journaling programs, Summer Reading parties, and more. More than 11,000 of our patrons have attended programs there.
Meanwhile, the Read House building, built in 1868, has presented numerous challenges. Additions and repairs were made over a ten-year time period to try to make the private house more usable for the public, including:
Making the building's first floor ADA compliant, including adding an entry ramp
Adding structural supports to the building's basement so it could handle the increased foot traffic and weight once the private home was opened to the public
Lead paint and asbestos abatement was required during all previous repairs
Despite these renovations, it was still difficult to make a previously private home serve as a public building. The small rooms on the main floor could not be reconfigured because the walls are loadbearing. And the second floor does not have ADA access, nor can it structurally support anything more than light storage.
As a result, the use of the building has been limited. Book sales were held on the first floor and the front room was used for small group weekly children's story time. Even then, the building's small rooms and narrow halls presented obstacles to patrons, especially those with mobility issues.
Even before the pandemic, we'd moved all library programming and book sales from inside the Read House Building to our Main Branch.
Evaluation of the structure
In 2018, the library contracted with a construction company and an architect to assess how to make the house more usable to the public for library programming.
The company and architect recommended several repairs, including:
The front porch needed to be taken down and replaced.
The foundation required masonry repair work.
Cracking plaster in the walls and ceiling needed to be repaired.
Old and potentially leaking siding and windows needed to be replaced.
The library hired a specialist who confirmed that lead paint was present and asbestos was in the walls. Any potential structural repair inside the Read House building would require costly asbestos and lead paint abatement.
CT Consultants estimated the potential repairs would cost at least $117,000; Greater Cleveland Consultants estimated at least $134,500. Neither estimate includes contingencies, including asbestos or lead-paint abatement. We estimate the cost of repairs and needed contingencies and abatement at around $200,000 in 2018.
Before demolition, the value of the home was $49,270 according to the Lake County Auditor's Office.
The library investigated possible funding sources – including reaching out to the state – to help pay for renovations, but none were found. Ultimately, it was deemed cost-prohibitive to renovate the building.
This left the library with two more options: sell the building or demolish it.
Without other options, the Board voted to contract with ProSupply Inc. for abatement and demolition of the Read House Building. The library will continue to use the surrounding property for outdoor programming.
Donations Drop-Off Box Moving at Mentor Library
By admin|2019-05-03T06:00:11-04:00May 3, 2019|
You can now drop off donations at our Main Branch.
If you have books that you wish to share, you can drop them off at the many Little Free Libraries throughout the community.*
We've moved our donation box to beside our Main Branch. The box had previously been outside our Read House property, which is next door to the Main Branch.
The move brings the donations closer to where they are stored in the Main Branch. Also, it will be more convenient for those of you who also want to come into the library.
We're grateful for the books, DVDs and music that you donate.
The books help fill our many Little Free Libraries and Pop-Up Library. Some of the items are also sold during our book sales, which helps raise money for programs, projects and story times.
Wordplay Writing Club gets wild
Sabine and Claire relax in the Read House backyard and write in their nature journals.
Sometimes the best place for a writer to find inspiration is outdoors. That's where our Wordplay Writing Club went earlier this summer.
They visited our Read House yard and wrote in nature journals like John James Audubon, William Thoreau, and Walt Whitman.
Each month, the writers in our Wordplay Club finds different ways to boost their creativity. For example, sometimes they use randomly selected words to create a story or create poems with refrigerator magnets.
Our club is open to all writers in third through sixth grade.
Wordplay Creative Writing Club meets at 4:30 p.m. on the second Wednesday of (nearly) every month at our Main Branch. We took a brief hiatus in July and will return Aug. 8.
You can register your child for Wordplay online by calling us at (440) 255-8811 ext. 221.

Celebrating a stupendous summer with a prehistoric guest
Roxie the Dinosaur gives one of our Super Readers a hug during our Summer Reading Finale Party.
We celebrated the conclusion of our biggest Summer Reading program ever by inviting a dinosaur to the Read House yard.
About 300 kids and adults came to our Summer Reading Finale Party and met, touched, and learned about Roxie the Dinosaur—a not-quite living and breathing Tyrannosaurus from Imaginos Productions.
This summer, you helped us celebrated all the ways people can build a better future. You built forts and box villages and breathtaking Domino runs. You stretched your mind and body with Fairy Yoga and globe-hopped from the comfort of our Read House backyard.
More children than ever before—1,506, to be exact—signed up for oursummer reading program. And they read or were read to for 21,038 hours. (Also, a record high for us.)
Additionally, nearly 700 teens and adults signed up for summer reading, and they read more than 3,400 books.
While summer reading may be finished, there are always more programs and events coming at the library.
Former Read House resident returns as library volunteer
By admin|2016-10-05T06:00:03-04:00October 5, 2016|
Doug Reed helps shelve books in the house where he used to live. The Read House is now owned by Mentor Public Library.
William "Doug" Reed walked through the rooms of the house where he lived for 55 years.
On Sundays, he would play records here—big band music—before going to Mentor Methodist Church across the street, he reminisced.
Mentor Public Library purchased the house in 2009 and renamed it the Read House, keeping the homonym to honor the Reed family.
The library, whose Main Branch is next door, uses the Read House backyard for outdoor programs—everything from campfire story times to summer reading parties.
On Monday, Oct. 3, Reed surveyed the rooms where bookshelves had replaced the familiar trappings of home.
What do you think of the changes, someone asked him.
"Not too bad," Reed said.
He then saw a book about American presidents that interested him and began thumbing through the pages.
Sharon Link, another volunteer from Deepwood's Willoughby Branch, helps shelve the books in MPL's Read House.
Reed, now 72, returned to the Read House as part of a volunteer group from Lake County Board of Developmental Disabilities/Deepwood's Willoughby Branch.
The Deepwood clients helped shelve books that are given away from MPL's Pop-Up and Little Free Libraries and sold during the Friends of the Mentor Public Library's book sales. The money raised from those sales supports library programming and special events.
Judy Tsiros, a community integration professional at Deepwood's Willoughby Branch, helped organize the volunteering with Mentor Public Library.
"The value for volunteering is almost immeasurable," Tsiros said. "It really connects people to the community, and it expands their self-worth."
By serendipity, Reed was one of the volunteers. He's an enthusiastic reader with a particular interest in presidential history and baseball. He'd often pause to read a cover while shelving.
When finished, he asked if he could keep a couple of books. The library allowed it. After all, he'd been gracious enough to help the library and to share his house.
Martin Andersen likes one of the books he finds while volunteering in the Read House.

eBioscience Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set
Foxp3/transcription factor staining buffer set (Cat. No. 00-5523-00) is recommended for detecting Foxp3 proteins. This is a buffer kit containing fix and perm reagents that maximize Foxp3 protein detection and minimize the effect on surface staining. This kit can be used on staining other nuclear proteins.
Learn more about protocols for intracellular staining
Identification of T Regulatory Cells with Foxp3
Tregs can be identified as CD4+ Foxp3+ and CD25+Foxp3+ cells in mouse spleen and human PBMCs, respectively [4]. There is a correlation in expression between the CD4+ CD25+ cells and the Foxp3+ Tregs. Downregulation of Foxp3 expression causes Tregs to lose suppressor functions and express some functions of conventional effector Th1, Th2, Th17, and TFH cell subsets. The key causes of this loss of Foxp3 expression include inflammatory environments with high levels of cytokines that are normally involved in the induction of effector T cells, such as IL-6 and IFN gamma [5]. Therefore, Foxp3 protein must be stained for functional Tregs.
Figure 1. Analysis of Foxp3 expression in the CD4+ Treg cell population reveals positive population. C57BL/6 mouse splenocytes were stained intracellularly using the Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set (Cat. No. 00-5523-00) and protocol, with CD4 Monoclonal Antibody, APC (Cat. No. 17-0042-82), and 0.5 µg of Rat IgG2a kappa Isotype Control, PE (Cat. No. 12-4321-82) (left) or 0.5 µg of Foxp3 Monoclonal Antibody, PE (right). Cells in the lymphocyte gate were used for analysis.
Figure 2. Gating for Foxp3+ Tregs with CD4, CD25, and Foxp3. (Top) BALB/c splenocytes were stained with Anti-Mouse CD4 FITC, Anti-Mouse CD25 APC, and Anti-Mouse/Rat Foxp3 PE. Tregs are identified in the upper-right quadrants as CD4+Foxp3+ cells (right) and CD25+Foxp3+ cells (left). (Bottom) Staining of normal human peripheral blood cells with FITC anti-human CD4 (OKT4) (left) or APC anti-human CD25 (BC96) (right) followed by RBC lysis and intracellular staining using the Whole Blood Foxp3 Staining kit (Cat. No. 88-8996-40). Cells in the lymphocyte gate were used for analysis.
Foxp3 protein is difficult to stain since it is not very abundant, and it is an intracellular protein. The figure below shows Foxp3 protein functional domains and the location of epitopes recognized by Foxp3 antibodies. Clone choice is important for Foxp3 protein detection [6]. For optimal detection of Foxp3 protein, it is important to have optimal antibody titrations, optimized fix and perm buffers, and include cells known to be negative for the marker.
Figure 3. Schematic representation of the Foxp3 protein and the location of the epitopes reactive with antibodies. Foxp3 contains a Zn finger/Leucine zipper and a conserved Forkhead Domain. In addition, in human Tregs, Exon 2 may be alternatively spliced (black box). Currently there is no evidence for alternative splicing in mouse Foxp3. The clone names of Foxp3 antibodies are indicated next to the fragment of Foxp3 where they have been mapped.
Immunohistochemistry of Foxp3 in T regulatory cells
Foxp3 is also expressed by tumor cells. It has been used recently as a biomarker and a prognostic factor for malignant human tumors [7]. Immunohistological staining of endogenous Foxp3 protein can be viewed (in both frozen and paraffin sections) in multiple tissues including spleen, breast, melanoma, and others.

A senior official of the company that was constructing the flyover which collapsed killing 18 people and trapping at least a hundred under the debris in north Kolkata reacted to the tragedy by calling it 'nothing but a god's act'.
"It's nothing but a god's act. So far, in 27 years we have constructed several number of bridges...it (today's collapse) never happened," K Panduranga Rao, Group Head (HR & Admin) of the Hyderabad-based company said.
Another company official denied any quality or technical issue as the cause behind the incident "as of now".
Two of IVRCL engineers are also missing from the site, Rao said, adding, searches are in progress to find them.
Shares of the company felled around 6% to end at Rs 6.40 on the BSE Ltd.


After being suspended for 30 days for violating WWE's Wellness Policy, Roman Reigns will be missing much of the build up to WWE Battleground. There has been no information released on how Reigns violated the Wellness policy, but that hasn't stopped fans from speculating on what really caused the suspension.
Some fans have asked, "How can Roman not know he was violating the wellness policy?" WWE fans are wondering what fallout, if any, will result from Reigns lengthy suspension.
While the WWE Universe has been speculating on Roman's suspension, he tweeted to his fans that he owned up to his mistake. He stated that there was no excuse for his violation of the WWE Wellness policy. Will this be enough for Reigns to keep his fanbase? Many wrestling purists have made their feelings known in regards to Roman Reigns' flagrant disregard for the rules.
While Roman will be off suspension when the fight occurs, Roman will miss the weeks-long build up to the major fight Battleground. He will also miss the WWE draft slated for July 19, 2016, taking place live on Smackdown.
The big question in everyone's mind is what will happen at WWE Battleground? Will the three-way fight go on as planned or will it be scheduled for another time? WWE Battleground could be one of the biggest events for WWE this year. On the flip side,an unintended consequence of Roman Reigns being suspended is the PR buzz that was generated from the announcement. Mainstream media such as ESPN, Rolling Stone and others have reported on Roman Reigns being suspended for his violation of the WWE Wellness policy.
WWE fans have privately wondered in concern if Roman Reigns is the next Batista. Like Reigns, Batista returned to win the Royal Rumble but when he returned, the crowd was not happy to see him back in the WWE ring. Batista's fans felt deserted when he left. It now seems clear he's not coming back anytime soon. What does this have to do with Roman Reigns? Wrestling fans see Roman Reigns much like they do Batista. For many fans, it felt like the WWE was pushing Roman Reigns to win the Royal Rumble and get his WrestleMania title shot from the beginning of his career.
Instead of having Roman Reigns evolve as a headliner over time, the powers that be pushed the Roman Reigns character onto the fans. Was Roman Reigns ready for his moment on the big stage? WWE fans have mixed emotions about Roman Reigns and his detractors say that they won't support a wrestler just because WWE tells them to do so. This dedication is what makes WWE fans the best in the world.
A few years ago when Roman Reigns was absent from the WWE due to a hernia injury, the impact of him being out of the ring had a two-fold effect. It kept Roman Reigns from being railroading, and it kept fans from being force fed another fabricated star. As soon as Roman returned, WWE pushed him into the main event at WrestleMania. Some WWE fans think that the creative team is pushing Reigns into the role of the next wrestling Messiah. For some fans, this just didn't seem right.
Because of the culmination of controversial events, Roman Reigns routinely gets booed when he enters the squared circle. The WWE Wellness policy violation is just one more reason for detractors of Roman Reigns to feel the way that they do.
Nonetheless, Roman Reigns has wrestling in his DNA as he is the son of Sika. Sika is a Hall of Famer who is also a member of the Anoi'a wrestling dynasty, which includes notable WWE wrestling superstars such The Rock. Roman started his wrestling career as one-third of The Shield before breaking off from the group to wrestle as a singles competitor. So far, Reigns has won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship three times. Can Roman regain his past glory and the WWE Championship a fourth time or will his Wellness policy violation impede his quest to once again wear the strap?

Q: getDefinitionByName works with custom classes? I wonder if the flash.utils.getDefinitionByName(name:String):Class works with custom classes? Is there a problem if the class has a constructor that takes arguments? I tell this because i have a class in a package of the form packageA.packageB and when i input the name of the class into the above function as packageA.packageB.ClassName does not work. Also i have tried (with the same result) the output from getQualifiedClass which gives packageA.packageB::ClassName. Any ideas??
Here is part of the code that belongs to a file that imports like import factory.scratchers.*; all the scratch elements which have the names AlphaScratcher, DissolveScratcheer, ExplodeScratcher ,etc. Does the above import satisfies the requirement?
import factory.scratchers.*;
...
for ( var iArea:uint = 0; iArea < _totalScratchAreas; iArea++ ) {
                var sourceArray:Array = new Array();
                var currentNameArray:Array = _globalAssetNameArray[iArea];
                var theScratcher:Scratcher;
                for ( var index:uint = 0; index < _globalMsgArray[iArea].length; index++ ) {
                    // here i would like to have something like:>
                    var ScratchClass:Class = getDefinitionByName( "factory.scratchers::ExplodeScratcher") as Class;
                    theScratcher = new ScratchClass( _assetGenerator, _mainSprite );
                    // instead of: - but it does not work not sprite shown on screen
                    theScratcher = new ExplodeScratcher( _assetGenerator, _mainSprite );
                    theScratcher.setBack( currentNameArray[index] );
                    sourceArray.push( theScratcher );

                    if ( _globalArray[iArea][4] == OPENEDAREA ) {
                        theScratcher.auto();
                    }
                }

A: You should specify what "does not work" means. It's important whether it's a runtime or compile-time error.
Input to getDefinitionByName should always be a string, of the format "package.subpackage.subpackage::Class", so:
var MyClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("packageA.packageB::ClassName") as Class;
var myInstance:Object = new MyClass();

Note that Flash will not include ClassName in your movie unless it is specifically mentioned somewhere in your code. To avoid this, place this somewhere in your main section of code:
var MyClass:ClassName;

A: Yes, it does work with custom classes. Just make sure that the SWF is aware of the class by referring to it somewhere in the code so that its definition is included at compile time. If you are not using the class anywhere in your code, its definition won't be compiled to the SWF and hence you can't read it back. If you're using it somewhere, here's how to use it:
var t:Object;
var type:Class = getDefinitionByName("packageA.packageB.ClassName") as Class;
if(!type)
  trace("can't find the definition");
else
  t = new type(/* arguments to the constructor*/);

A: If you are linking the custom class, have you ever tried adding 'import'?
Or if you are treating the custom class as runtime shared libraries, you can use ApplicationDommain.getDefinition() instead.

Wireless telecommunications provider Sprint (S) aims to expand its share of the cellular services market by acquiring T-Mobile (TMUS), the fourth largest cell carrier in America. This move would not only cement Sprint's position as the third largest American carrier, but would also increase its mobile spectrum, allowing Sprint to better compete with Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T), the top two American market leaders.
For consumers, Sprint's reported interest in T-Mobile is a huge win. If the FCC supports this acquisition, both Verizon and AT&T would need to become more competitive (which means lower prices for consumers). Currently, these two cell giants control such a massive segment of the telecommunications market that they can raise prices as they see fit. Sprint CEO Dan Hesse stated, "A stronger number three will get one and two to react more aggressively so everybody benefits… If you are smaller, the big two do not react as aggressively," thus suggesting the unhealthy nature of unnatural monopolies.
Unfortunately, the Federal Government and FCC have both raised concerns over the potential deal, claiming that any consolidation of the cellular services market will result in higher prices for consumers. As a result, three companies, instead of the prior two, would set prices and reap the benefits. Both the FCC and Federal Government must give their consent to legitimize Sprint's deal. However, given the FCC's current remarks, and undoubted backdoor lobbying by both Verizon and AT&T, consumers shouldn't expect an immediate decision on the T-Mobile acquisition.
Will either of the "big two" become the "big three" within their respective sectors? Will Verizon, and AT&T continue their increasing price war, only to have Sprint save the day for consumers? Only time will tell. However, if Sprint successfully purchases T-Mobile, AT&T is ready to fight for its high prices by purchasing DirecTV (DTV).

House Panel Subpoenas Land Fund, Agriculture Agency - Honolulu Civil Beat

House Panel Subpoenas Land Fund, Agriculture Agency
Both agencies were the targets of recent critical examinations by State Auditor Les Kondo.
By Blaze Lovell / July 23, 2021
A Hawaii House of Representatives investigation of the Agribusiness Development Corp. and a state land and development fund is starting to ramp up on the heels of audits critical of the two state agencies.
On Tuesday, a House investigative committee issued subpoenas to the ADC, the Department of Land and Natural Resources and the Department of Agriculture. The committee plans to start hearings with witnesses in September and a final report with recommendations is due in December, one month ahead of the 2022 legislative session.
The committee is seeking "any and all records, documents, materials, things and other evidence" from those agencies submitted to the state auditor as part of inquiries that led to the two audits, according to Rep. Della Au Belatti, the chair of the committee.
A House investigation into two state agencies is getting underway. Office of the Auditor
The committee is seeking two batches of documents from each agency. The first batch is due Aug. 9 and should include all the documents provided to the state auditor, which conducted the audits. A second batch of documents is due Aug. 23 and should include materials indicating how the agencies are responding to recommendations made in the audits.
Belatti, the House majority leader, said the agencies have already tentatively agreed to turn over those records.
State Auditor Les Kondo found that the Special Land and Development Fund is hindered by a lack of transparency and accountability. Kondo also found that the ADC has not done enough to reinvigorate former sugar and pineapple land.
As part of the audit of the land fund, Kondo's office "examined contracts, leases, permits, financial records, annual reports, public meeting minutes, and other relevant documents."
Kondo attempted to get financial records from the ADC but found that "ADC's record-keeping was inconsistent, incomplete, and in many cases, non-existent." The record keeping was so bad that a financial audit had to be suspended, according to the report.
The office requested documents related to land management policies, land acquisition guidelines, an inventory of landholdings and files on tenants. Instead, it got a four-page memo offering only general guidance on land management.
Rep. Amy Perruso, a critic of the ADC, asked that the subpoenas be expanded to include all documents that Kondo asked for, instead of only what was provided to the auditor.
Belatti said she is not inclined to expand the scope for the first batch of documents because the committee wants a quick turnaround.
Rep. Dale Kobayashi questioned why the committee needed the first batch of documents since the auditor already used those documents to develop the two reports.
"I don't really see the point of what we're doing here asking for this," Kobayashi said. "And it is quite an ask."
The documents are intended to get the committee ready before witnesses are called, according to Belatti.
Those hearings are expected to be held during the weeks of Sept. 13 and Sept. 20.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- A Connecticut man was left with second- and third-degree burns after a high-speed car chase ended in his bedroom early Tuesday.
While the resident, identified as 34-year-old Michael Sweat, lay pinned under the BMW X5, the driver fled the scene, The Hartford Courant reported.
It took firefighters over an hour to remove Sweat from his rented New Haven home.
Sweat, who was sleeping when the car barreled through his home, suffered second- and third-degree burns on the lower part of his body but was expected to survive.
It is unclear how the driver evaded the police after the crash, and no description of the suspect was immediately available.
The chase began when the driver failed to stop for police in Hamden, Conn., after committing traffic violations around 12:30am local time Tuesday morning.
Police attempted to deflate the SUV's tires with "stop sticks," but the driver successfully swerved to avoid them.
The chase then continued into New Haven, where police maintained their pursuit through the campus of Southern Connecticut State University.
The car chase ended when the driver lost control and crashed into Sweat's home.
New Haven Police Officer David B. Hartman called the work of firefighters to save the trapped Sweat "heroic."
Sweat was receiving treatment at The Hospital of St. Raphael in New Haven.

Serif (nepřesně patka) je strukturální detail v typografii, který na znacích některých písem (takzvaná serifová nebo též patková písma) tvoří příčné ukončení některých tahů. Pro bezpatková písma se používá také označení sans-serif.

Edward Catich v knize Origin of Serif z roku 1968 poskytuje většinovou leč ne univerzálně přijímanou hypotézu vzniku serifů – jako zarážek značící konce tahů jednotlivých písmen při vytváření daného nápisu – tesáním do dřeva nebo častěji do kamene.

Původ názvu není zcela jasný, v britském standardu pro kapitálky z roku 1813 se vyskytuje možný předchůdce, surripses (v plurálu) nebo suriph /syryf/, Julian Hibbert je v roce 1827 nazývá syrifs nebo cerefs, a má je za ornamenty. Nejstarší citace v současném tvaru je z oxfordského slovníku angličtiny z roku 1830 pro serif a 1841 pro sans serif. V dánštině existuje foneticky a významově podobné slovo schreef (ve významu linie nebo tah pera), a tomu je též podobný německý tvar schrift ze slovesa schreiben. Slovo sans znamená francouzsky bez.

Kvalitní patkové písmo je typografy doporučováno pro dlouhé statě (obsahy celých kapitol, článků atp.), protože patky u základní čáry se (subjektivně) lépe spojují do této pomyslné linie a vedou po ní oči čtenáře. Pro zobrazení na displejích s nízkým rozlišení (např. na monochromatických maticových displejích) naopak vychází pravděpodobně lépe bezpatkové písmo.

V CSS figuruje slovo serif jako zavedená hodnota reprezentující patkové písmo podle nastavení prohlížeče nebo grafického prostředí operačního systému. Hodnota sans-serif pak zastupuje vybrané bezpatkové písmo. Častým písmem zastupujícím serif bývá Times New Roman.

Pocket Bike Forum - Mini Bikes > General Pocketbike Forums > General Pocketbike Discussion > Yep still at it!
I decided to because I will be modding and converting it. It will no longer be classified as a scooter when I'm through.
As you can see from the pic this thing is pretty big. But there is 2 companies making these scooters. A while back went to a local shop to inspect one. The I saw was a bit lower and had 12" wheels.
First off I'm not promoting these. I'm just telling "my experience" with this scooter in my possession.
Now I'm not really a street riding person. But I am considering getting this registered as a custom build. However I am more than likely building this to be a trackday fun bike.
I have selected a motor and swingarm. Also possibly some 14 or 15" rims to use for this transformation. I'm not saying what motor and swingarm setup. It could change do to the nature of the build. I will say this though the completed bike will go over the 100mph mark.
I'm excited about this project. Because I believe this bike will be good. To use on kart tracks and be able to use it on a full-sized track for fun.
My final note, this thing is over 200lbs. It is not as nimble and agile as the mids. In its current state. The motor I'm leaning towards. Will give this bike great power to weight ratio. So she will be good to go.
I don't know what happened to the pic. But here it is.

I thought about the possibilities one could do with this bike as I saw it on eBay. Cool project! What motor do you plan on using?
Thanks Cam always good to see you and hear from you also..
I'm rounding up all the parts needed before I get started. Right now doing some research on 14" and 15" race tires. Which ever size has offers the best performance tire. Is gonna determine the size rims I choose.
To honest I haven't 100% decided on the motor. Only because I wanna make sure I can still go to kart tracks. Not to compete but just to practice. I believe some tracks have cc limits do to insurance.
I'm strongly looking at a couple of 250cc twin cylinder 4strokes. Stock HP rating a little over 29hp. I think that should be perfect for this bike. Also a yzf r3 motor, the weight of the motor is a bit of concern though. Then the yzf 450cc single cyl. That would be another great choice. Good power plus weighs less than all the others.
Have you looked into a crf150r motor? Its an incredibly well engineered motor. Small but puts out 21-22 hp. The crf150r bike has roughly the same power to weight ratio as the crf450r. Might be hard to get your hands on though.
The crf 150r has crossed my mind. I figured since there's a lot of room in this chassis. Plus it the chassis seems to be strong. That I'd go big as possible and with in reasonable costs.
Also if I decided to take out on full-sized track. I wanna have a little bit of fun..
Also if I do get plated as a custom build. I wanna make sure keeping up with traffic is no problem. Where I live now is right off of a major route. People drive well over the speed limits 70mph and up.
I know you love the midbikes,,superbikes and other midsized bikes but in the case of your last statement have you considered getting a real streetbike ?
Not that Im saying that real streetbikes are safer because I just had a friend killed by a girl running a stop sign while texting a week ago but they do have the get up n go aswell as better visibility for the street not to mention the westhampton track used to have streetbike race classes from 250-600cc........Maybe by you too..

Oh yes all the time everytime.... The main reason I don't. I know the chances of me ending up seriously hurt. Definitely will increase since every time I see a turn. It looks like a track to me.......lol Hell I won't even get a fast car anymore.
I will take some vids one day. The serious elevation changes,quick switch back section and sweeping uphill turns. It's unbelievable!
swheels, keeping the dream alive, keep on truckin dude, lol. CAM2, sorry to hear the bad news, lost two close high school friends on motorcycles, they turn left and then say, I didn't see you, Sad. Smarts phones and cars don't mix, its an accident looking for a place to happen. I still have his 900 Kawasaki engine, he wanted to be buried with his motorcycle, but they won't allow that. Late some night going to put the engine next to his head stone.
Sorry to hear about you guys lost. That's never a good thing especially when it's no fault of their own.
Yes epr I've been trying to and had plan to get away. After I finished up the last 2 bikes.....lol came across this thing for peanuts. I only wanted it for the fairings.... Then I seen much more potential than I could've gotten out of the mids.
Yep Cam I remember the Phoenix line of bikes. I wanted to get my hands on one also.... Passed on it wish I didn't though. This thing is about the same size or a little bigger.
It's definitely bigger than the ysr's and metrakits. I took some pics for some size references. The smaller bike in the pic. Is a little bit bigger than a ysr. An inch taller seat height and longer wheelbase. It doesn't look like it do the the smaller wheels and x18 seat/tank section.
Holy Cow, looks like my place, pocket bikes everywhere, lol. I still see my favorite, the all alum frame w/ gold upside down forks., super pocket bike.
Sounds like me, I get started on one project, which gets stalled by a bunch of new projects, lol. I got to finish some and sale some stuff so I can build another one, lol.
Alls I know is I stopped the build of my Diablo kit car 15 years ago in 2001 and after the GSXR1000 project its definately next..Then my Triumph.

Thieves Like Us.

Yesterday, I submitted my new-hire paperwork for my new job. Today, I had the phone guy come out and install a direct line in my room. He was nice & didn't charge me, so I took a friend bowling with the money I saved. ❤
I've started packing up my room so I can paint, rearrange, and re-organize my space. I'm looking forward to starting with a clean slate in here.
I keep waiting to stress out about money or being unemployed, but I haven't yet. It's doubtful I will. My income will be pretty significantly reduced in this new job, but I'll be working from home, and should be able to save money. Not to mention the fact that I'll be able to step out during my lunch break and tend to my garden, hang my laundry, sit on the front porch and write in my journal. Take a nap. Do the dishes. You get the picture.
Is this what it's like to be a grownup? Things just seem to roll off of me. Maybe it's a result of having been through a hellish year. I was pretty determined that 2013 was NOT going to be another 2012, which was largely spent having the legal battle that had been waiting to happen for the past 10 years or so. I feel like now that's resolved, I can pretty much take anything on. Even though I technically "lost" (though, really, it's the kids who lost…but whatever. They are as tough as I am, and will be fine regardless) I am so relieved it is over that nothing can really get to me anymore.
I guess I just feel very fortunate, having been in the presence of so many people who have struggled through and survived far more difficult challenges than I've experienced, with far less agency and ability to control the situation. It doesn't feel right to allow myself to wallow. So I haven't. And I'm really kind of proud of myself.
After bowling, I went out and got some paint samples for my room, came home and ordered pizza for dinner, watched Mary and Max, which was brilliant, touching, and perhaps a little too sad for the kiddos, but I made them watch it anyway.
Went for a walk.
Tree Sweater
Observed the sky.
And fallen pomegranates.
And the beautiful full moon was my companion.
(I really need to start bringing my real camera out with me on my walks. These photos suck!)
The most pressing decision I needed to make today was where to go get drunk this Saturday in celebration of the end of my freedom.
Personally? I got nothing to complain about.
Fuck this guy:
Noted Constitutional scholar and mayor Michael R. Bloomberg remarked today that given the constant threat of terrorist attacks, America's views on privacy and freedom may be a tad outmoded. "The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry," Bloomberg said, "But we live in a complex world where you're going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change." http://gothamist.com/2013/04/23/bloomberg_terrorism_warrants_change.php
And fuck all of these people:
"While nearly 15 million Americans still can't find jobs due to the 2008 Wall Street-created crash, the top hedge manager, David Tepper, earned $1,057,692 an hour in 2012 – that's as much as the average American family makes in 21 years!" https://www.adbusters.org/blogs/financial-porno.html
And FUCK ENBRIDGE:
Enbridge's Line 2 **Line 67 tar sands** pipeline has leaked an estimated 600 gallons of crude oil at its pump station near Viking, Minnesota. Line 2 was built in 1956 and has a history of spills. Regulators ordered Enbridge to reduce its Line 2 operating pressure in October 2010 following the company's Kalamazoo River tar sands spill. http://www.desmogblog.com/2013/04/24/another-pipeline-leak-enbridge-alberta-clipper-line-67-leaking-tar-sands-bitumen
Also, these assholes at the West Fertilizer Plant…who seem to be taking for granted that people will continue to treat the explosion as a natural disaster rather than a criminal act:
The company's regulatory history going back to 1976 comes to light as investigators seek the cause of last week's fertilizer explosion that killed at least 14 people.
For example, in 1987, the company — then known as West Chemical and Fertilizer Co. — was venting ammonia that built up in transfer pipes into the air despite explicit orders in its permit not to do so. The company apparently changed its practices. http://www.dallasnews.com/news/west-explosion/headlines/20130422-west-fertilizers-environmental-compliance-problems-go-back-decades.ece
And mad love for the superheroes striking for fair wages in Chicago:
We, Chicago fast food and retail workers, are striking to demand $15 an hour and the right to form a union without retaliation. Our employers are raking in profits while workers, mostly adults with families, don't get paid enough to cover basic needs like food, rent, health care and transportation. We are willing to risk our jobs to stand up and say ENOUGH. And we need everyone who supports us to join us. It's time to give every worker a chance to survive and thrive – and strengthen Chicago's economy. http://fightfor15.org/en/
As well as students who walked out of Chicago schools today, protesting over testing and school closures, and joining with the striking fast food and retail workers in solidarity:
Dozens of Chicago students boycotted a required standardized test on Wednesday in protest of high stakes testing and the city's plans to close 54 schools as part of deficit reduction measures. The walkout is the latest in a series of community and union protests of the March 21 announcement. http://tv.msnbc.com/2013/04/24/chicago-students-protest-standardized-tests-school-closings/
