Encinitas Union School District Supports Controversial Homeless Overnight Parking Lot
Proponents thrilled, opponents not so much

The Encinitas Union School District's board of trustees jumped into the debate over whether the city should give the go-ahead to a controversial overnight parking lot for the homeless.
"We commend this program which will provide vital resources and tools, dignified support, and a welcoming environment to help individuals and families stabilize their lives and transition back into housing," the district statement read.
The statement also admits that members of the district's student body are living out of their families' cars, or are "housing insecure".

Proponents of the overnight parking proposal say they were pleased to learn of the school district's support, but opponents had a different message.
"The problem is children and families shouldn't be sleeping in cars," said Julie Thunder of Cardiff, who is part of a group that calls themselves the North County Citizens Coalition.
Thunder told NBC 7 this was the first time she'd heard of homeless students within the district. She said the school district isn't doing its job, claiming it should be connecting those children to agencies like the Community Resource Center or Social Services.
"Can you imagine a kindergartener sitting in a car and doing his homework by flashlight? It was under 50 degrees here last night. That is not right. We're outraged," Thunder said.
Thunder said this isn't a case of "not in my backyard". She says the coalition believes in taking care of local homeless people but not by opening a lot to all homeless people in the north county.
The proposed location of the parking lot will be on the Leichtag Commons property, a 67.5-acre property in Encinitas, according to Jewish Family Services.

If approved, the parking lot will have no more than 25 parking spaces, including on-site support with case managers and overnight security. It will be for people who recently became homeless
A 2018 homeless count in San Diego's north county found 1,975 homeless people, 354 of them were living in their vehicles. 51 of those homeless people living in cars were in Encinitas.
Encinitas City Council will vote on the proposal on January 22nd. Both sides of the issue say they will be there to voice their opinions.
For more information on the proposed lot operated by Jewish Family Services, click here.
Here is the full statement from the Encinitas Union School District:
Dear Encinitas City Council, Leichtag Foundation and Jewish Family Services:
The Encinitas Union School District (EUSD) Board would like to express support for a Safe Parking Program to help individuals and families who are living in their vehicles so that they might have a safe and secure place to sleep. We commend this program which will provide vital resources and tools, dignified support, and a welcoming environment to help individuals and families stabilize their lives and transition back into housing. We understand the program seeks to serve those currently living out of their cars and who typically are experiencing homelessness for the first time including veterans, older adults, college students and families with young children. We also understand that all program participants will be screened for safety considerations and no alcohol or drug use will be allowed on the premises.
EUSD has families who are homeless and many more who are housing insecure. When a family, often unexpectedly, experiences a financial hardship that forces them from their home, school staff, and sometimes school parents aware of the situation, scramble to find temporary solutions and direct these families to potential resources to help ensure the affected children have their basic needs met and can continue to attend school on a regular basis. The Safe Parking Program in Encinitas could offer another temporary resource for our EUSD families meeting the conditions to participate in the program and we would refer them to Jewish Family Services for consideration.
The EUSD Board of Trustees discussed this program during regularly scheduled meetings on December 17, 2019, and January 14, 2020, and took action to approve this letter of support on January 14, 2020.
We look forward to following the progress of the project.

Texting, drunk driving addressed in full, distracted driving class for teens
Kayla Daugherty
The Livingston County Sheriff's Office, State Farm and FT Techno of America have announced a hands-on class that allows teens to display bad driving habits safely.
Four days later the class is full.
Livingston County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Chad Sell said he's not surprised by the response.
"We have parents calling us throughout the year asking when the next class will take place," Sell said.
The class will include teens driving through distracted-driving scenarios, such as texting while driving and "fatal vision" drunk driving goggles at the Fowlerville Proving Ground.
Despite the full class, Sell encouraged parents to call and join the waiting list.
"We always end up having a couple people back out due to sports and other obligations," he said.
Those on this years waiting list get the first opportunity to sign up when the class is offered next spring.
"Our biggest goal is to get the conversion started with mom and dad," Sell said. "I think that we are doing some things that are immeasurable."
Over the last seven years participants have expressed a desire for classes of this type to be part of driver's education, Sell said.

The class, provided to Livingston County teens and their parents for free, is offered at 8:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 25. Each session will run for approximately four hours.
Class size will be limited to 20 students and a parent in each class. Attendees must possess a driver's license and be enrolled in high school.

Declining Conviction Rate of Human Trafficking
Human Trafficking:
The conviction rate in cases of human trafficking has been on the decline, government data show.
Details of cases shared in Parliament earlier this month showed that the conviction rate has been declining over the past four years although the number of anti-human-trafficking units (AHTU) in the country has increased to 696.
The conviction rate of cases related to human trafficking dropped from 27.8% in 2016 to 10.6% in 2020. Between 2018 and 2019 the conviction rate in such cases increased from 19.4% to 22.5%.

Limited Edition Battle Royale Poster Illustrated By Scott Pilgrim Author
Published by SchoolGirlBlogger on February 13, 2013 February 13, 2013
Despite the grisly story of Koushun Takami's (高見 広春) novel, Battle Royale (バトル・ロワイアル), this poster is just too awesome to miss out on. Canadian cartoonist, Brian Lee O'Malley, gives Battle Royale a fresh take with this illustration.
If you don't know Brian Lee O'Malley, it's impossible that you missed out on the story of Scott Pilgrim. Scott Pilgrim is the main character of O'Malley's graphic story with the same name. The 23-year-old Canadian slacker, Scott, falls in love with a delivery girl named Ramona Flowers. To get to Ramona, however, the Toronto-based bassist for the Sex Bob-omb must defeat her seven evil ex-boyfriends. If the story of Scott Pilgrim now sounds familiar to you, a movie was adapted from this very series in 2010 starring Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as the American delivery girl, Ramona Flowers.
Brian Lee O'Mally teamed up with Kevin Tong to come up with this cool Battle Royale poster. The poster depicts scenes from the 1999 film directed by Kinji Fukasaku (深作 欣二). In one side of the illustration, main protagonist Shuya Nahahara (七原 秋也) protecting Noriko Nakagawa (中川典子) with a pot lid. See if you can spot them.
The O'Malley-Tong Battle Royale poster is offered together with the ticket sales for the Houston Screening of Battle Royale on February 16.

By John McCarthy–
The University of Louisville football team lost at home on Oct. 31 to ACC competitor Virginia Tech 42-35. This moves the Cardinals' record to 2-5 on the season and puts them in 13th place in the ACC.
The news came out just before the game that a handful of Louisville's defensive players would be unavailable for the game. Defensive linemen Micah Bland, Ja'Darien Boykin, Malik Clark, Yaya Diaby and Tabarius Peterson were all unavailable. Punter Ryan Harwell, safety Isaiah Hayes and linebacker Monty Montgomery were also unavailable. All of the players were showing symptoms of COVID-19.
The Cardinals dug themselves a hole early on going down 21-0 moving into the second quarter. It was no secret early on that the second string Cardinal defense was struggling.
Sophomore Marshon Ford put Louisville on the board first by completing a 14-yard pass from junior Malik Cunningham for a touchdown. Then, just before halftime, sophomore Javian Hawkins broke loose for a 90-yard touchdown run. U of L trailed the Hokies 21-14 going in the half.
After a scoreless third quarter, Senior Dez Fitzpatrick got the Cards back on track with an 82-yard touchdown pass from Cunningham. With six minutes left in the final quarter, senior Maurice Barkley ran it in for a 13-yard touchdown. Barkley's touchdown tightened the score to 34-28. Six points were as close as the Cardinals would get to Hokies. Both teams tacked on an additional touchdown in the final four minutes, but Virginia Tech took home the victory 42-35.
Cunningham threw for 350 yards and three touchdowns but had three interceptions. Hawkins carried the ball for 129 yards on 17 carries with a touchdown. Fitzpatrick had a monster game with 158 yards on five catches, one of which was a touchdown. Junior Tutu Atwell had 8 catches for 78 yards.
U of L will attempt to rebound next week when they travel to Virginia to take on the Cavaliers. That game will be Nov. 7 at 8 p.m. on ACC Network.

The Cardinals (1-2) traveled to face the Yellow Jackets (1-2) for their third in-conference matchup of the season. Louisville went into Bobby Dodd Stadium looking to avenge their loss at Pittsburgh last week.
U of L's offense came out strong early on in the game. Junior Malik Cunningham tossed a 3-yard touchdown to sophomore Marshon Ford to put the Cardinals on the board. In the second quarter, Cunningham continued the scoring of the Cardinals with a 2-yard rushing touchdown. Junior Tutu Atwell caught a pass from Cunningham to put the Cardinals up 21-7 midway through the second quarter. U of L led Georgia Tech 21-14 going into halftime.
Cunningham continued his stellar performance by putting the Cardinals on the board in the third quarter via an 11-yard rushing touchdown. Louisville led 27-26 going into the fourth quarter.
The final quarter was all Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets put up three touchdowns to close out the Cardinals 46-27.
Cunningham completed 19 of his 33 passes and threw for three touchdowns over 229 yards. Ford caught 5 passes for 89 yards throughout the night. Senior Dez Fitzpatrick caught a single pass for 36 yards.
U of L will look to bounce back Oct. 17 when they trek to Notre Dame to take on the Fighting Irish.

The University of Louisville Cardinals football team defeated the Western Kentucky University Hilltoppers 35-21 at Cardinal Stadium in the first game of the season.
WKU put points on the board first with a rushing touchdown at the Cardinals' goal line to go up 7-0. U of L struck right back with a pass from junior Micale Cunningham to Ean Pfeifer for a 28-yard touch pass to put the score at 7-7. At the end of the first quarter, Cunningham had completed 6 of his 11 passes and threw for 181 yards. Sophomore wide receiver Braden Smith had two receptions for 111 yards.
The Cardinals picked up where they left off in the second quarter. Cunningham rushed in for a 14-yard touchdown only six seconds into the second quarter to put the score at 14-7. Five minutes later, sophomore running back Javian Hawkins rushed in for a 19-yard touchdown to put U of L up 21-7 over the Hilltoppers.
Near the end of the second quarter, Cunningham completed a pass to sophomore Marshon Ford for the touchdown with only 42 seconds left in the half. Louisville was in the driver seat going into half time with a score of 28-7. WKU was scoreless in the second quarter.
Western Kentucky bounced back in the third quarter after a one-yard rushing touchdown to cut the deficit to 14 points. The Cardinals fired back with a 70-yard completion from Cunningham to senior wide receiver Dez Fitzpatrick for a touchdown. Louisville led Western Kentucky 35-14 going into the final quarter of play.
Louisville's defense held up in the fourth quarter only allowing a 12-yard touchdown pass for the Hilltoppers. U of L ended up coming away with a two-touchdown lead to secure the victory 35-21.
Cunningham threw for 343 yards and gathered three touchdowns. Junior running back Hassan Hall ran for 66 yards on six carries. Fitzpatrick and Smith both grabbed four catches for 110 yards apiece. Junior wide receiver Tutu Atwell totaled 78 yards on seven catches.
The Cardinals will begin ACC conference play next week when they take on the University of Miami Hurricanes Sept.19. The game will begin at 7:30 p.m. at Cardinal Stadium. Louisville will look to avenge their loss from last season when they visited the Hurricanes in Coral Gables, Fla.

Satterfield scores bowl game first season Sunday, Nov 17 2019
Ean Pfeifer and Football and Marshon Ford and Micale Cunningham and NC State and Scott Satterfield and sports Gabriel Wiest 2:14 am
By Gabriel Wiest —
With a 34-20 win against NC State, head coach Scott Satterfield secured bowl game eligibility his first season with Louisville.
After taking a harsh 52-27 loss against Miami, it was unclear if Louisville (6-4, 4-3) could bounce back against another ACC competitor. The away game against NC State added to the challenge. Louisville lost to NC State (4-6, 1-5) last year 52-10, putting pressure on Satterfield to change the tide.
After a dry first quarter, junior Dez Fitzpatrick caught a 43 yard pass from sophomore Micale Cunningham, putting the Cardinals on the scoreboard first. NC State answered Louisville with a touchdown and a field goal ending the first half in the lead 10-7.
The Cardinals surged in the third quarter against NC State, scoring three touchdowns. Sophomore Tutu Atwell started off the scoring in the second half with a 74 yard catch from Cunningham.
Freshman Marshon Ford continued the momentum with another long 42 yard pass from Cunningham. Graduate Ean Pfeifer ended off the quarter with another touchdown thrown by Cunningham leaving the score 27-10.
NC State answered the Cardinals after a dead third quarter with a touchdown in the beginning of the fourth. Ford then scored his second touchdown for the Cardinals. NC State had the final say, with a field goal, not enough to put the Wolfpack on top.
Cunningham helped lead the Cardinals to victory throwing four touchdown passes. The offense also took a passing heavy approach against NC State, passing 249 yards while rushing 77 yards.
On the book Louisville had less total yards than NC State with 377-326. However, Louisville's defense tightened down in the red zone, making sure that NC State could not take advantage of the defensive line as other teams have this season.
With a 2-10 season last year, it is clear that Satterfield is taking steps in the right direction with the Cardinals already at .500 ball. Before the season started some Louisville fans were skeptical how the Satterfield era would look. With bowl game eligibility, Satterfield has not only secured fans's concerns, but put Louisville in a growing spotlight.
Louisville will face off next against Syracuse Nov. 23 at 4 p.m. at Cardinal Stadium.

Football claims first win under Satterfield Sunday, Sep 8 2019
#2019football and Dez Fitzpatrick and dorian etheridge and EKU and Football and Javian Hawkins and Marshon Ford and sports Gabriel Wiest 12:44 am
By Gabriel Wiest and Mariam Prieto —
After 358 days without a win, Louisville celebrated a long-awaited victory. Marking Scott Satterfield's first win as head coach, the Cardinals defeated Eastern Kentucky University 42-0.
This win puts a swift end to Louisville's second longest losing streak in history, with the first shut-out since 2013.
"All I do is think about our staff and players I really don't think about me. I think about how hard they work, how hard the coaches work and I am happy for them," said Satterfield. "We do this to win."
Louisville's defense started off strong with a sack by sophomore Yassir Adbdullah.Â
The Cardinal's offense took the field with energy, with sophomore Tutu Attwell scoring a touchdown within the first three minutes of the game.
Louisville maintained its rushing offense during the first, rushing 43 yards off of seven plays.
The Card's offense flexed passing with 50 receiving yards coming from Attwell along with a five-yard catch by freshman Marshon Ford that resulted in a touchdown.Â
The Louisville defense kept the Colonels out of the first quarter leaving the score 14-0. No touchdowns were made in the second quarter.
Freshman Javian Hawkins opened up the second half with a bold 66 yard rush. Ford quickly scored a touchdown five yards out from in-zone making the score 21-0.
Hawkins made another huge rush, gaining 50 more yards. Junior Jawon Pass then threw to junior Dez Fitzpatrick scoring another touchdown. EKU did not answer, ending with the quarter 28-0.
Four touchdowns were scored off passing proving Louisville's offensive versatility. Louisville rushed 322 yards while also passing  220 yards. This game marks a career high for Pass, with four passes into the in-zone.
Sophomore Hassan Hall made the first rushing touchdown of the game in the fourth quarter. This was followed by another rushing touchdown by sophomore Malik Cunningham making the final score of the game 42-0.
"This is huge. We are in this business to win football games and we want to do in the right way. I think that it validates what we've been doing," Satterfield said.
Louisville's defense shined with five sacks on the EKU quarterback.
In the first game against Notre Dame the defense showed strides, and against Eastern the defense executed.
"It was great, we worked hard and a long time for this. And for this to finally come, it was everything we thought it would be," junior Dorian Etheridge said.
Louisville will face off against Western Kentucky University on Saturday, Sept. 14 at 4:00 p.m.

Bidding For Bharat Petroleum Stake Sale To End Today: 10 Things To Know
The government had first invited bids for the mega BPCL privatisation in March this year
The initial bidding for privatisation of state-run Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) will end today. The government has been trying to offload its entire 52.98 per cent stake in BPCL, the country's second largest oil refining and marketing company. But it has already extended the deadline for interested parties to register their expressions of interest on four occasions. At Saturday's closing price of Rs 412.70 on the BSE, the government's 52.98 per cent stake in BPCL is worth Rs 47,430 crore. BPCL's privatisation is essential for the government to meet its record Rs 2.1 lakh-crore goal for disinvestment in 2020-21.
Here are 10 things to know about the sale of the government's stake in BPCL:
The latest round of bidding for BPCL's privatisation comes at a time when the coronavirus pandemic-related restrictions have hurt world economy and businesses, especially those operating in the oil and travel & tourism-related sectors.
Brent futures – the global benchmark for crude oil rates – are down 36.76 per cent so far this year, though having recovered nearly two times from a two-decade low of $15.98 per barrel in April on account of COVID-19.
In the country's largest privatisation drive ever, the government had invited bids from investors in March this year. But since then, that deadline has been extended four times by the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM). The government has said that there will be no further extension.
There are indications that oil majors BP Plc of the UK, Total of France, Aramco of Saudi Arabia and Rosneft of Russia are not very keen on bidding due to the asking price of close to $10 billion required to buy the firm, news agency Press Trust of India reported quoting industry sources.
Given the uncertain demand scenario, the investors are weighing the Bharat Petroleum Corporation acquisition, they said.
The acquirer will also be required to make an open offer for buying another 26 per cent stake from the public, which would cost Rs 23,276 crore.
Private companies with a net worth of $10 billion are eligible for bidding, and consortiums of up to four firms are allowed to bid. The lead member of the consortium must hold a 40 per cent stake, while others must have a minimum net worth of $1 billion each.
Bidding will take place in two stages. Qualified bidders in the first round will be asked to make a financial bid in the second round.
The company distributes 21 per cent of petroleum products consumed in the country by volume, as of March, and has more than a fifth of the 250 aviation fuel stations in the country.
BPCL will give buyers ready access to 15.3 per cent of the country's oil refining capacity, and 22 per cent of its fuel market share in the world's fastest-growing energy market. BPCL operates four refineries in Mumbai (Maharashtra), Kochi (Kerala), Bina (Madhya Pradesh), and Numaligarh (Assam) with a combined capacity of 38.3 million tonnes per annum, which is 15.3 per cent of India's total refining capacity of 249.8 million tonnes.

The first step in creating a Form Letter or doing a Mail Merge is to create your template document. If you have not completed this step, please click here. Salsa Labs provides downloadable templates for thank you and donation receipt form letters that enable you to easily craft and upload form letters into Salsa CRM. Click here for links to the downloadable templates.
Once your template has been created, you must use the configuration screen to define the type of template. This will make the template available to you on the appropriate Salsa CRM screens. For example, Thank You document templates will be available in the Thank You letter field on the Donation screen after the template is defined as a 'Donation' type.
From the main menu select Manage and then Configuration.
The Configuration window will be open. Select Form Letters & Receipts from the Explorer.
Select the Add Form Letter to Screen button. NOTE: You can also Edit or Delete Form Letters. The edit option is for editing the description of the Form Letter or the type. It does not allow editing of the document content. To edit the text of the document, open the file in Google Docs, edit, then Save.
Type a Name for the Form Letter, and press the Tab key. The Name you enter here is the name that shows up in the dropdown list on the screen type you will select in the next step.
If you select a Type of Receipt, you will have the option to select if the receipt is Tax Deductible or Non-Tax Deductible.
If you choose something other than Receipt, this option will be inactive. Please see the Configuration & Security Section for information on Receipts Configuration.
PRO TIP: Some screens within Salsa CRM provide quick access to Form Letters by using drop-down lists. The Donation screen is one example. On this screen, you can select letters that are specifically for donations. The different Thank You letters are examples that display on the Donation screen. The Acknowledgment and Honor Postcard letters are specific to the Acknowledgment Wizard available on the Tools menu. The Solicitation, Event and General letters are specific to the Donation Statistics Wizard.
By default, the Display on Dropdown checkbox is selected. This option allows you to choose whether or not a letter appears on the dropdown list of the corresponding screen. If you have outdated form letters that are causing your Thank You letter lists to grow too long, you can 'remove' an existing Form Letter from this list. To 'remove' an existing letter from a dropdown list, highlight the appropriate letter and either double-click or select the Edit Form Letter/Screen Link button. When the Edit Form Letter/Screen Link window opens, uncheck the Display on Dropdown option and Save this change. The next time you open the screen where the letter used to appear, it will no longer be in the dropdown list.
The Delivery Method option lets you select if the document is going to be used for standard mail (Mail) or as an E-Thank You (Email). If you are sending an E-Thank You, it's best to use just simple text and no images to ensure that email recipients will be able to see the contents of your email.
Once you have selected Mail as the Delivery Method, you can now select the document you wish to use as this form letter. Choose the Select Document button and the Document Search screen will be displayed.
Select Search. NOTE: Wildcards are supported, but not assumed, therefore if you wish to find all documents that have a name beginning with the letter T type T*.
Double click on the desired document. That document name now appears on the 'Add Form Letter to Screen' pop-up window.
Press Save. Your document is now a Form Letter and is displayed in the list of Form Letters on the selected screen.
The video shows a new donation screen with the documents available from the Letter drop-down menu. The Bold documents are Summary Letters.

Phew, what a time I have had. I have been up to my elbows in laundry since it is about the only thing there is to do in his place.
During the last time I was there, I made a significant discovery. Either his bank is refusing his deposit, some eccentric Great Uncle died and made him is sole beneficiary and wrote in the will that he must keep his money under his blankets in the linen cupboard or else he is laundering money.
BB was happy to hear this, especially since he has had a squeaky clean record since I joined his work force. BB also suggested that it may be time for me to go on vacation for the upcoming Christmas holidays. I hope he means alone because SC#2 is starting to get on my nerves. He hasn't been doing anything bad to me, just he is not around much anymore and I feel like my spot near him has dropped off. I don't get as much surveillance in anymore and the bugs I have placed in the apartment do not seem to pick up much.

SIFE wins honors at regional competition
Written by: Monica Higgins
The University of Akron Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) team was first runner up at this year's regional competition in Cincinnati, held April 10.
SIFE is an international organization on college campuses around the world that focuses on empowering people in need through business concepts and an entrepreneurial approach.
SIFE groups from across Ohio and surrounding states met to present the projects they have completed during the year, according to Akron SIFE's director of presentation. Businesses from around the community, including representatives of Wal-Mart, Sam's Club and Hallmark, served as judges for about 30 different SIFE groups from college campuses competing in the regional competition.
This year, Akron SIFE's accomplishments included teaching elementary school children business concepts and encouraging them to pursue business ownership as a possible career path, implementing a recycling competition in Spicer Hall that has doubled the average number of weekly pounds recycled and collecting 1,000 pounds of canned goods to help alleviate hunger.
The group already has a set of projects planned for next year that spans a range of local issues. Projects include forming partnerships with local school districts in order to teach middle school and high school students how to budget, apply for student loans and balance a checkbook.
SIFE is also planning an expansion of the recycling competition into all dorms on campus.
Finally, they will implement a project to help Burmese refugees and other internationals in the Akron area run their businesses successfully and understand the American banking system.
Akron SIFE is always looking for creative and talented UA students to get involved and share their project ideas. The group is open to all majors and offers many great networking and career opportunities, in addition to countless opportunities to help out the community.
SIFE meets Wednesdays at 8 p.m. in the College of Business Administration room 147.

With the Fourth of July weekend around the corner, it's time to start thinking about how to take the best fireworks photos. There are typically just two opportunities per year to photograph fireworks so make it count if you want to capture some world class photos.
For photography buffs, this rundown might seem like old hat, but it never hurts to review. For beginners or first-time fireworks photographers, these tips will have you shooting like a pro. Here are 15 ways to create great fireworks photos.
If you haven't already guessed, an iPhone is not going to cut it when trying to get expert shots of fireworks. You're going to need an SLR camera with manual shooting mode and a good sturdy tripod.
For the best fireworks photos, you're going to want to hold your shutter open for 1-10 seconds. For this reason, you should always use a remote release button so that your finger doesn't jostle the camera when you press the shutter.
For a truly great fireworks photo, framing is everything. Scout out the location where you plan to shoot before the sun goes down so you have a good idea of how you want frame the shot. Look for a structure like a pier or bridge to frame in the background.
It's important when using a tripod to be sure you framing is straight. Check the horizon lines to and line them up parallel with the top or bottom of your frame. Be sure to also leave enough room in your framing to account for the height of the blasts.
It's a good idea to decide ahead of time whether you'll be shooting vertically or horizontally. Most of the time fireworks look best with vertical framing, but if there is something in the background you want to capture it may serve a horizontal frame better.
Set the focal length usually at the widest available to capture the most action. You can always crop later.
Turn off your auto-focus feature so that the camera does not try to keep refocusing, which can lead to blurry images. Turn your lens to manual focus. Assuming you're a fair distance away, you shouldn't have to change your focus at all during the display.
Your ISO setting should be at 100 or 200 to minimize noise.
The shutter speed is where you are going to affect how much arch and movement of the fireworks you'll capture. A good rule of thumb is keeping it to 2-10 seconds.
Now when it comes to aperture, this can be tricky. It's best to experiment with various settings depending on available light and how long you intend to leave the shutter open. Most photographers have luck with a medium to small aperture, anywhere from f/8 to f/16. One way to experiment is to shoot in T mode and set the ISO and shutter speed while allowing the camera to adjust aperture.
This feature helps reduce noise levels in long exposure shots, but for fireworks there is too much happening at once for this to be effective. Turn this function off so that you do not experience a delay when shooting.
As the fireworks display goes on, smoke often fills the sky. So try doing most of your shots in the beginning when the sky is clear. But don't forget the grand finale.
While most of your shots will be shot at a wide angle, it pays to experiment with close up shots. You'd be surprised at what you might come up with.
If it's not completely dark out, you're going to have a tougher time with longer shutter speeds because your shots will be overexposed. To get around this, try using a neutral density filter. This will cut down on the light and still get the effect you're after.
Shooting in raw image mode allows the most flexibility for post processing. Hey, you never know. You might just win an award.

Awesome car AA. I love the GTOs and they really are everything you say. I got to see one run on a dyno a few years ago and it was pretty crazy. Great machine.
When are you selling your Riv?
Nice freakin GTO AA! In that 3rd pic, it kinda reminds me of an AMG CLK with that blue coat and big 5 spokes. Can you summarize what the deal is with the suspension? I haven't really heard of that.
Thx, not selling the Riv for a while. It's a perfect running machine that I still enjoy the driving year round.
I'll be selling the '70 Olds in the spring if I can. Other than the cool factor of being a classic, it's not really useful to me. It's always been my favorite car, but it sits a lot of the time, only driven on special days. It's so large that I have to pay for storage. I really feel that someone else can appreciate the car more than I'm able to.
Bonus - the GTO fits in our garage, and insurance is actually works out about the same as the Olds.
I know. I passed by friends in NY, DC, DE, WV, PA, and family in OH. It was like canon ball run. Drove like 10 hours straight through the night to get the car home.
You were in DC? I'm hurt now.
Jordon: nice SHO! I looked at those at the same time I was looking at the Riv in '03. Couldn't find one in decent shape so stopped looking. In the late '80s when they came out, nothing in their class could touch them for performance. You got the manual version, too. Nice job!
Codith: Thx. I mentioned the suspension issue in this thread. The previous owner addressed it with a Lovell's lowering kit, similar to Pedders. There is some wheel rub on the fenderwell at full lock, but that is an altogether different issue.
Nice looking GOAT AA! I'm sure you will have a lot of fun with it.
What the heck is the problem with dudes making their own threads to show off their other cars?
Nice GTO, AA. But what did you make Jordons thread smash into this mega thread?
Why can't a dude have his own thread for his own build?
I've been meaning to do this for awhile, but I wanted to create a new thread and show you guys a new car I purchased last summer. It's a 1992 Ford Taurus SHO.
Jordon, maybe you should create a generic thread for SHOs and keep your post in that instead of this mega thread.
The problem is, this is primarily a Riviera board, not a "dudes showing off their other cars" board.
The difference is, someone actually did create a legitimate GTO discussion thread back in 2008. I didn't create that thread just so I could show pics of my car. I posted them here because this is where "other car" pics go.
It's fine to create an SHO discussion thread, as long as it's actually for discussion and the showroom pics stay here.
You finally got the GTO, nice find! If I were still in NY I'd have told you to stop by me. How many pedals?
The SHO looks sharp too, good job on the reupholstery!
Congrats on the GTO Aaron, always liked it, only seen one and I thought it looked pretty sharp. It kind of has the same impact that the Riv has, clean yet aggressive. Glad to hear the Riv ain't goin' nowhere though!
Ilan: 3 pedals, 6 gears, 8 cyls!
Jordon: that SHO interior reminds me of something... maybe a Torrid Red/Black GTO interior? Looks great, btw! I personally like all black, but definately works with that car.
Congrats on the Goat !!! I know you've been wanting one for a long time.
AA, you have one sweet GTO. Looks like it had some mods, so please inform.
Do not turn off the TC until you have lots of space to spin out. I have A 5th gen Camaro, only a six with 312 hp, and have heard so many stories when inexperienced drivers turned off the TC and totaled their autos when they lost control (see Youtube for examples).
Yesterday, stopped in traffic waiting to turn left into my apt. bldg. parking. Right hand traffic slowed, one person stopped and waived me on to turn in front of him. Gave my little 312 hp V6 some gas to turn quickly. TC on. Damn if the rear wheels did not burn rubber wtih TC on! I was embarrased smoking tires with my little 312 hp V6.
Turning the TC off to many people = loosing control (watch YouTube to see fools with TC off and loosing control).
69GS: Your SHO is a future collectible. A few years ago in Hemmings there was a article regarding the the Ford SHO. One sweet auto. Please keep us informed.
Thx for the comments, Al. I still haven't turned off the TC. With this kind of power I want to be sure I'm 100% comfortable with the car first. Wheels break loose a little and tires chirp even with TC on.
I have a couple more changes to make, starting with the hood. It's getting an '04 plain style hood, painted MBM to match. Then a carbon fiber rear diffuser to replace the portion that says "GTO".
Only other performance mod I'd do is the GMM Ripper shifter with LSS handle. This is about $600 so will have to wait a little while.
AA, I was gonna ask you about that steering wheel, as I didn't remember our GTO's looking like that. That's the first thing I noticed when I was scrolling through the pics. That thing is absolutely sick! Can it only be ordered from overseas?
Do you plan on autocrossing it like you do with your Riv? Or is just going to be a sunny day cruiser?
Also, I appreciate the kind words about my SHO. It's definitely a work in progress, but I'm having a good time with it.
I bought the car undoubtedly for it's drivetrain. It's such a different animal than the Riv. While the Riv is a low rpm torque monster, driving the SHO is closer to a high revving superbike. It doesn't redline until 7500 rpm, and once the secondaries open up, the sound is incredible. It's like the car gains two cylinders.
Not to mention, the Yamaha 3.0L is eye candy. In my opinion, it's one of the best looking engines ever produced. The intake runners are reminiscent of a viper's nest and it's such a unique design. Eventually, when I send my intake to Shosource to get it ported, I'm going to have it ceramic coated so it will look like this.
AA, awesome GTO... one of my favorite vehicles ever. You have excellent taste!
Jordon: the SHO's manifold is one of the best-looking there is, period. I remember at RegalGS.org there was a member with a pic of an SHO mani as his avatar. Loved it. Compare to the GTO's faux plastic valve cover covers, I'm getting ready to take them off for my first mod!
I always wanted to drive an SHO, but never had the chance. My cousin had a green one, auto version, so I can remember riding in it back around '93. It was still very new then, and very quick. My cousin has gone on to buy an STi, EVO, and Porsche Boxster. Cars are a big deal on our side of the family!
About the GTO's steering wheel, it is definitely one of my favorite things about the car. The feel of the wheel is perfect - there's actually a sweet spot at 9-3 o'clock, even though it looks like it should be gripped 10-2. The wheel is available through JHP in Australia for around $500 USD.
I may autocross it, and maybe one or two 1/4 mile runs. A friend is already asking to run it on his dyno, so that will probably happen. Only thing I may not try is road course racing. I can't risk loosing it at high speed, which is easy to do when pushing it hard.
For now it will be my daily driver when the weather is good. Only a few more days left this year!
How is the GTO on gas?
Actually not too bad if I keep my foot out of it. From NJ to Eastern WV, a combination of highway and city, I logged 20.0 MPG. 300 miles of WV mountains later I filled up again and logged 20.2 MPG! From the OH river to Columbus I set the cruise in 6th gear and saw 20.8 when I got home. I'm convinced 400 miles/tank is achievable on the freeway.
Since then I've been having a bit of fun with the car, almost all city driving: 17.3 MPG.
Overall combined average is 19.2 MPG so far for the GTO.
The Riv's average over 3 years is 20.1 MPG.
1959 Buick Electra -- I remember this car since childhood in Eastern Oregon, and bought it from the original-owner family in 1998. It's all-original, and my wife and I have driven it as far as Seattle to Michigan and return (for the Buick Centennial) and Seattle to Colorado Springs and return (for the '59 Buick 50th anniversary). Color is "Silver Birch".
1959 Pontiac Star Chief -- all-original car with 67,000 miles. Color is "Canyon Copper / Cameo Ivory".
1971 Buick Centurion -- purchased new by my parents. Color is "Sandpiper Beige" with dark brown vinyl roof.
Gorgeous! I almost picked up a '73 Buick Centurion Convertible a few years back, but it was so rotted out I couldn't do it. Nice cars!
Wow, great set of cars. I especially like the Electra!

Asian Students' Perceptions Of How They Are Seen In 'The West': A Case Study At An Australian University
10.14221/ajte.2020v45n4.5
Australian universities attract increasing numbers of students from the Asia-Pacific region. It is important, therefore, that academics have meaningful understandings of these students in order to provide them with a supportive learning environment. This article suggests that part of this understanding is being aware of the ways in which some of these students perceive they are seen by those in the receiving countries and the discourses which may feed these perceptions. The qualitative study reported here outlines the perceptions of 10 Vietnamese offshore postgraduates (VOPs) and nine Asian onshore postgraduates (AOPs) from different Asian countries at an Australian university. All participants were English language teachers. Findings revealed that while both groups perceived themselves to be viewed in appealing ways, they also imagined themselves seen in pejorative ways. They claimed to be affected by this, particularly the offshore Vietnamese students, suggesting the need for strategies to mediate disempowering discourses on campuses.

Rome v. Republic
Published in Issue 4 (July/August 2019), Reviews, Volume 27
RTÉ1, 11 April 2019
Presented by Michael McDowell
By Mary Kenny
It is a cliché—because it is true—that until recent times the Catholic Church in Ireland wielded great power and excessive social control, and this situation is blamed for many, if not all, of our woes. This was the main theme of the documentary presented by Michael McDowell. The former justice minister was taught, as a child, that he was growing up in a republic, but now he asks: did we really live in a republic when the Roman Catholic Church held such power?
Above: Presenter Michael McDowell with Prof. Mary Daly (UCD), historical consultant and programme contributor, in the National Library of Ireland. (RTÉ)
How different Ireland might have been if Wolfe Tone's vision 'to create a true republic, where allegiance to church would be replaced by the common name of Irishman', had been realised! As allegiance to church is rapidly slipping away now, perhaps Mr McDowell (aged 68) might well live to see Tone's dream come true. Nil desperandum!
This 70-minute documentary was a polemic rather than a straight account, and it was perhaps a little surprising to watch Michael McDowell, whom I don't associate with the sans culottes movement, express such nostalgic regret that Wolfe Tone had failed to bring the French Revolution to Ireland after 1789—all the fault of the Catholic Church, which so conspiratorially teamed up with the British Crown to halt the contagion of 'liberty, equality and fraternity'! Let us pass quickly over Daniel O'Connell's schooldays in St-Omer in France (Catholics being barred from education under the Penal Laws in Ireland): he never forgot the guillotine and the Terror, and therefore pledged to win rights for Catholics through the rule of law.
Before the Great Famine, it was explained, Irish Catholics were simple folk who attended Mass only episodically, in austere, barn-like structures—we are shown one in County Cavan—for their sometimes superstitious, folkloric form of religion. No word about the Mass-rocks, or the pitiful fact that poor people often couldn't attend church because they were so ashamed of the rags in which they were clothed—an issue which especially upset women, although they sometimes contrived a pooling system to share a shawl for chapel attendance.
Above: Cardinal Paul Cullen—through him, Rome exercised ever more control over Ireland. (Pontifical Irish College, Rome)
And then, after the organising genius of Paul Cullen appeared—sometimes called the 'real leader' of Ireland between O'Connell and Parnell—Catholics had the cheek to build themselves beautiful churches, stained-glass windows and all! Who did they think they were?
True, the Catholic Church was richer, more middle-class and more organised after the Famine, because the poorer population was the more diminished, by death or emigration, after that monumental tragedy. So the Church benefited from the Famine, just like the strong farmers. Cardinal Cullen was 'a true Roman', with a deep adherence to the universal Church, and through him Rome exercised ever more control over Ireland. The positive aspect of this universalism goes unmentioned: that Irish Catholicism developed an internationalism which is in the deposit of the culture to this day.
And so McDowell presents the now-familiar narrative of how the Catholic Church in Ireland kept its grip through the turbulent years of the twentieth century, carefully switching sides between 1916 and 1918, increasing its power in the Free State after 1923—with the Brits gone, it was an agency of stability and continuity—and, as the century wore on, running social and welfare services, schools, institutions and hospitals, and eliciting deference from politicians. Only in recent decades did the shocking abuses of power emerge—particularly, said Justine McCarthy, in 'awful stories of women's lives'. The farce of Pope John Paul II's 1979 visit fronted by Eamon Casey and Michael Cleary was emblematic of a church in a state of decadence and cover-up.
Above: Theobald Wolfe Tone—his memory was honoured for many years by his republican followers opening proceedings at Bodenstown with a decade of the Rosary.
There was nothing in Rome v. Republic that was false or untrue, but it was marked by a familiar distortion of perspective: it was all top-down; it was all experts and academics in their pulpits. For an idea based on concern for a republic—that is, rule by the people—there was a stunning absence of the people themselves. Almost all of the commentators summoned were hostile witnesses—Mary McAleese, Patsy McGarry, Colm O'Gorman, Justine McCarthy. (Archbishop Martin appeared mainly to apologise for the paedophile clerical scandals.) The academics—among whom were Oliver Rafferty SJ, Sarah Roddy, Daithí Ó Corráin, Marianne Elliott, Thomas Bartlett and Colin Barr—were coolly informative, but only Mary Daly pointed out that the State had some responsibility for placing children or single mothers in institutions. Nobody mentioned that the family often had some responsibility too.
And nobody seemed to have any sympathetic feeling for the faith of the people. The Eucharistic Congress of 1932, for example, wasn't just an exercise in Roman power manipulated by wily politicians like de Valera: if you examine the popular literature of the period, it is palpably obvious that for ordinary people this was an occasion of spirituality, joy and meaning. And yes, pride, too, that a fledging State, which had been through so much turmoil and had seceded from imperial governance, could organise a vast international occasion, peaceable and crime-free.
When de Valera's Irish Press first appeared in 1931, it was naturally flagged as a republican newspaper. But, as Joe Lee has written, the more 'Catholic' the paper became, the more copies it sold. The Irish Independent was already wall-to-wall photographs of nuns and priests, and maintained its dominant market position by strong identification with Catholic Ireland. It is evident that Catholic Ireland wasn't merely imposed or controlled by Rome: this was the majority culture of the people.
A republic can be anything that the people choose: constitutionally secular, like France, or a multi-faith republic, like the Lebanon, or an Islamic republic, like Iran. A true republic takes on the values of its people, and President Seán T. O'Kelly spoke as a sincere republican when he said that our 1937 Constitution 'was worthy of a Catholic nation and brought nearer the promised land of a united republic'. After all, Wolfe Tone's memory was honoured for many years by his republican followers opening proceedings at Bodenstown with a decade of the Rosary.

Hip Hemiarthroplasty
The hip joint is one of the body's largest weight-bearing joints and is the point where the thigh bone (femur) and the pelvis (acetabulum) unite. It is a ball and socket joint in which the head of the femur is the ball and the pelvic acetabulum forms the socket. The joint surface is covered by a smooth articular cartilage that cushions and enables smooth movements of the joint.
Hip hemiarthroplasty is a surgical technique employed to treat hip fractures. In this procedure, only one half (ball section) of the hip joint is substituted by a metal prosthesis.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. An incision is made along the outer aspect of the affected hip. The surgeon gains access to the hip joint and the head of the femur is removed using surgical instruments and prepared to accept the prosthesis. The stem of the metal prosthesis is placed inside the femoral bone. The surgeon now connects the metal ball that forms the femoral head. The stem prosthesis can be press-fit in patients with a strong, healthy bone or cemented in cases of weak, osteoporotic bone. The method of implantation depends on the patient's age and condition of the bone. At the end of the procedure, the incisions are closed with sutures and a dressing is applied.
The post-procedural instructions to be followed after hip hemiarthroplasty include:
You will be prescribed medications to reduce pain and inflammation.
Crossing your legs should be avoided.
Avoid lifting of heavy objects.
Avoid bending and twisting your hip. Instead use grabbers to pick the things.
Avoid standing for long hours.
Use an elevated toilet seat
Avoid sitting on low chairs.
Your surgeon may recommend physical therapy to strengthen the joint and the muscles and to help restore mobility to the hip joint.
Complications of hip hemiarthroplasty include infection, dislocation, deep vein thrombosis, loosening of the prosthesis, and failure to relieve pain.
Discuss with your surgeon if you have concerns regarding hip hemiarthroplasty surgery.

Methinks things are really going to start happening now.
Man, this page took a LOT longer to do than the past few weeks. I kept piling more and more junk into this closet to get it looking properly cluttered, and even now I'm not sure I did enough. I really did the dramatic shadow, though.
Well, as always, be sure to go see the Voting Incentive comic, and if that's not enough Bridget and Alphonse for you, FEAR NOT! Come back Monday for another special extra page!
I do like the shadow.
And I also like the "Yes, we have one of these" sign.
I'm glad it turned out legible! I always worry a little about small text like that. I mean, of COURSE I can read it, I already know what it says!
Ooo, random green chick poster.


There is a lot of news about the deadly virus Ebola that is highly contagious. According to WHO ( World Health Organisation), this virus has attacked around 1600 people so far in West Africa. The affected countries are Nigeria, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Two US health workers are being treated at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
Can you get infected? Yes, you can but only if you travel to any of these countries and comes in close contact with the infected people. Otherwise you are safe for now. Every country is issuing a travel warning to not travel to these countries.
What virus is causing this? RNA (ribonucleic acid) virus that infects fruit bats, monkeys, gorillas, and chimpanzees. Somebody must have come in contact with an infected animal and it all started in 1976 in the Democratic Republic of Congo on the Ebola River and hence the name.
What are the symptoms? Well, initially Ebola appears as a viral as the symptoms include fever, headache, body aches, cough, stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. If anyone is exposed to the virus, it takes 8-9 days for them to fall sick. The virus incubates in their bodies becoming stronger and stronger. Later symptoms include bleeding and death.
Is there any vaccine against Ebola? Sadly, there is no known vaccination or treatment drug against Ebola. However, there is an experimental drug from a US company named Mapp Biopharmacuetical Inc called ZMapp. It is a controversial drug ( that is a lot of people are against it) as it is not tested for long enough. WHO has now authorized the use of this drug in Africa.
How can we protect ourselves? Wash your hands frequently. Stay away from people who have viral symptoms and have recently traveled to Africa.
This disease is scary, let us pray for the ones who are affected and hope that it gets contained soon.
wonder what a virus is?

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Grand Canyon Trust today sued Energy Fuels Resources in Utah federal district court over ongoing radon pollution problems at its White Mesa uranium mill near Blanding and White Mesa, Utah. The suit aims to correct ongoing problems at the mill and to ensure resources are available for cleanup and reclamation.
White Mesa is the only conventional uranium mill operating today in the U.S. It processes ore from regional uranium mines, including near Grand Canyon. It also receives, processes, and disposes of radioactive waste, or "alternate feed," from Superfund sites and other locations across the U.S. that are contaminated with radioactive waste.
The suit cites data showing that in 2012 and 2013, radon-222 emissions at the mill exceeded hazardous air pollutant standards. Exposure to radon-222 is linked to cancer, genetic defects, and increases in mortality rates.
It further alleges that, during that same period, mill owners exceeded the legal limit for the number of on-site pits that are filled with uranium wastes known as tailings. Regulations limit the number of tailings impoundments to ensure ongoing remediation and to avoid mill closures causing abandoned impoundments and pollution. For example, the ongoing cost of the federal closure and remediation of the abandoned Atlas uranium mill outside Moab, Utah, is expected to exceed $1 billion — a cost borne by taxpayers.
Citing poor market conditions, Energy Fuels in December announced that it plans to close the mill in 2014 and potentially reopen it 2015. It also announced that it would shutter its Pinenut Mine, located just north of Grand Canyon and, pursuant to a legal agreement with Grand Canyon Trust, the Havasupai Tribe and others, cease efforts to open its controversial Canyon Mine.
Attorneys Travis Stills of Energy and Conservation Law and Anne Mariah Tapp and Neil Levine of Grand Canyon Trust represent the Grand Canyon Trust.
