BVV wheels with element shock absorber define the worldwide standard for resilient wheels on the normal route. They are safe, comfortable and gentle on vehicles, travel routes and adjacent buildings. Mileage and operating toughness are extremely high, the service is exemplary. Accordingly, customer satisfaction and worldwide acceptance are correspondingly high. The design principle, in which specially fitted rubber elements decouple the wheel tyre from the wheel rim and spring the construction, has been identical for all our normal-suspension wheels since Bo 54, the prototype of the globally successful resilient Bochum wheels.
Matched suspension behaviour – vertical deflection, individually tailored to tracks and carriage concept up to mm 1.2 mm with 60 kN wheel force.
Route protection – Reduced unsprung masses reduce wear and tear to the vehicle and track system and prevent oscillations and shocks in adjacent residential areas.
Both types of wheels follow the "original type" design principle of the resilient Bochum wheel and come with the least possible number of components: Wheel rim, wheel tyres and rubber spring mounting. Wheel rims and additional retaining screws for fixing the rubber spring mounting are omitted here, the assembly of the tyre takes place with a special press-in device.
The unmistakable core of the design is the rubber elements, which are individually designed according to the application. The shock absorber is highly pre-stressed and placed between the tyre and the rim, according to the specific requirements, reduces noise production and body-conducted noise.
Both types of wheels are particularly suitable for limited space conditions and can be individually adapted to customer-specific requirements at any time. For example, in Bo 011, the significant increase in vertical deflection of the shock absorber element, significantly improves shock absorption. This makes the wheels very well suited for particularly crucial travel routes.
Variable wheel body/rim – Individual material selection: BVV special steels of different grades, Individual design of the wheel bodies, with and without drive/brake disc attachment for conventional wheelsets and loose wheel bearing etc.

The District Attorney's Office is staffed by attorneys, investigators, victim advocates and support staff who all care deeply about those affected by crime. We are committed to treating all victims, witnesses and survivors of crime in our community with fairness, dignity and respect. If you are a victim, a witness, or a survivor, we understand that you did not choose to become involved in the criminal justice and that this process can seem scary, confusing, and even frustrating at times.
The Constitution of the State of Colorado and the laws of this state guarantee certain rights to victims, and their families, of certain crimes. The Victim Rights Act became part of the Colorado Constitution in 1992. Under this law (link to Colorado Revised Statutes 24-4.1-101) victims have the right to be heard, to be informed and to be present at all critical stages of the criminal justice process. When the victim is deceased or incapacitated, these rights are guaranteed to the victim's spouse, parent, children, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, significant other, or lawful representative. You can learn more about the rights of victims by following the link "Your Rights as a Crime Victim" on this website.
The Victim Witness Services Unit exists to involve crime victims and witnesses in the criminal justice system in a manner that lessens the devastating impact of crime. This is done by providing personal contact, support, information and advocacy to victims, their loved ones and witnesses throughout the prosecution of a criminal case.
The Victim Witness Services Unit is staffed by advocates who have the responsibility to make sure that victims, witnesses and survivors know about their rights established by law. Crime victims are assigned an advocate who will work with them throughout the time their case is in the criminal justice system.
Advocates also help to access appropriate resources to assist a victim, witness or survivor so they do not suffer further harm or trauma by being involved in the criminal justice process. Advocates provide victims, witnesses and survivors with information, support and assistance in a professional and compassionate manner throughout the prosecution of the criminal case. Advocates also work closely with the prosecutors, lawyers, investigators and support staff of the District Attorney's Office in seeking justice for victims of crime by providing restitution and trial support services.
There are many different resources and services that may be of help to a victim, witness or survivor in Adams and Broomfield counties. Some of these resources and services are provided by agencies in the community.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your rights as a victim, call an advocate at 303 659-7735 or email the Victim Witness Services Unit at Victim.Witness@da17.state.co.us. For questions about a specific case, it is helpful to have the court case umber, the defendant's name and your name when you contact us.
In order to keep communications clear and up-to-date, it is the responsibility of victims, witnesses and survivors to make sure that advocates have current, and correct, phone numbers and addresses. If all local efforts to obtain your rights have failed, you may request assistance from the Governor's Victim Coordinating Committee.

The Big Island of Hawaii (Part 1) Volcanoes Park
Karl on Feb 20, 2011 with Comments Off on The Big Island of Hawaii (Part 1) Volcanoes Park
There are many places in the world I wish everyone could visit. At the top of this list is Hawaii. It's a great travel destination and for me retains its magic even after multiple visits. Hawaii — the name of the island chain and also it's biggest island — is one of the most remote places in the world, thousands of miles from other major land masses. Still, hundreds of planes land on these islands each day and much of the island chain is "touristy", though there's still a "real Hawaii" to be found. For me the "real Hawaii" is not natives living in primitive conditions but rather in memorable natural beauty — mountains, rain-forest, lava flows, desert and beaches. So the Big Island appeals to me as it's the youngest of the Hawaiian islands and by far the biggest, with lots of beautiful places to explore (You could fit all the other Hawaiian islands onto the big island TWICE). And the island is still growing, adding more land every year thanks to it's active volcanoes. According to Hawaiian mythology, this island is the home of Pele, goddess of fire and volcanoes.
Evidence of the Big Island's volcanic heritage is everywhere in its rugged landscapes but is best seen in Volcanoes National Park. Volcanoes Park covers 330,000 acres, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is home to the world's most active volcano. Kilauea has been continuously erupting for about three decades (though the precise location of eruption and lava flow varies significantly from time to time). Kilauea has added more than 600 acres to the island in the last few decades and it's estimated that someday volcanic activity may double the size of the island. [Of note, a brand new Hawaiian island is forming a few dozen miles off the south tip but at this time it's still well submerged].
Overview of Kilauea Crater
If you only have a day or two on the Big Island, I would focus the entire visit on Volcanoes N.P. and nearby Hilo. While some accommodations are available near the park, mostly in Volcano Village, they are limited. And the air around the park often has a sulfurous smell that may make sensitive people ill so I would advise staying a few dozen miles away in Hilo and renting a car to visit the park (you'll need a car to get around anyway).
A good place to begin your visit to Volcanoes National Park is at the Visitor Center where you can see an great film on the volcano, study the displays and most importantly get up to date information from the rangers on where the volcano's most active that day (and where there may be dangers you should be aware of). From here I'd head across the road to nearby Volcano House (which is currently closed and receiving a much needed seismic upgrade but should be open soon), a historic hotel, restaurant & bar that sits right beside Kilauea's rim. When Mark Twain visited this exact site some 125 years earlier the crater was filled with molten lava. In the past century it's cooled and crusted over but recently has developed large vents hissing sulfurous fumes, with molten lava just beneath the Halema'uma'u Crater's surface that's best seen at night (this crater is said to be Pele's home). The sulfur levels here are dangerously high so the Park has (hopefully temporarily) closed a segment of the nearby Crater Rim Drive at the Jaggar Museum & all trails in the main Kilauea crater. The Jaggar Museum offers the best vantage point for the recent lava activity in the crater, especially on a clear evening (on some days your view will be limited by vog,or 'volcanic fog'). The Jaggar has exhibits highlighting a lot of geologic and seismic information on the crater and is worth at least a brief visit. Watch for Nene, a rare native goose, around the museum parking lot and as you drive towards the crater as they like to nest in and near the Kilauea.
Crater on Chain of Crater Road
There's many other interesting sights and many hiking opportunities near the main Kilauea crater so be prepared with sturdy hiking shoes as the surface is irregular (and often even hot to the touch). A fun stop by the rim is at the steam vents – where large numbers of fissures in the ground release steam (rainwater that has run into deep cracks where it is vaporized by the heat of the volcano & released as hissing steam). There are large numbers of orchids nearby which may be blooming so keep an eye out for them. There are several sulfur vents close to the steam vents which are interesting but really stink and are not for people with breathing problems.
The Thurston Lava Tube offers a safe way to explore one of the many lava tubes in Hawaii. Lava tubes are formed by differential cooling of lava. A rounded outer rim of lava cools, while the inner contents remain hot and liquid – sometimes draining out to leave behind a tube, or cave. Some of these are many miles long and to descent into one of these is to know complete darkness. The Thurston Lava Tube has a paved floor and lighting making it possible to see more than you could with a simple flashlight. There is still an unlit 1000 foot section of the tube which will require a good flashlight. The Lava Tube is a popular place to visit so come early or later to improve your chances of getting a parking spot.
Pu'uloa Petroglyph trail
After you've completed the Crater Rim Drive head to the Chain of Craters Road. This road is where most of the lava flows have been found these past years and the drive is geologically interesting and beautiful. It takes you past a series of volcanic craters of various size, some quite magnificent, through many different lava flows and past lava tubes. During the last half of the drive you will be treated to wonderfully scenic views of the Pacific Ocean as you descent from around 4000' to just above sea level. Stop several times and take in the view. Don't forget to look at your feet and you might see some small wonders – like a blade of grass or small flower struggling for a foothold in the porous rock.
There is one hike I'd particularly recommend which is towards the end of the Chain of Craters road, this leading to the Pu'u Loa' Petroglyphs. The hike is only about a mile each way and leads to a collection of over 20,000 rock carvings. These etchings are on pahoehoe (smooth) lava and are over 500 years old. The setting, amongst the endless lava, small plants and ocean views is memorable.
Surf crashing into Holei Sea Arch
There's a small park office near the road's end (road was closed because of lava flowing across it). Park and hike out onto the hardened lava flows. Twice when I've visited this area lava was flowing nearby but this time there were no active flows. Still, it's cool to see how the lava has flowed across and closed the roads. Also nearby is the beautiful Holei Sea arch; hear and feel the Pacific Ocean pounding the foundation of the island as you stand near its edge enjoying views of the arch. It's quite exhilarating!
End your day visiting the site of active or flowing lava (contact park rangers to find out where's your best opportunity). The best time of day to see the lava flow is around dusk. The bright orange glow becomes more apparent, glowing even brighter as daylight recedes. Even cooler is if you get to see a lava flow enter the ocean, where it instantly vaporizes the seawater (and much of the lava is immediately turned to sand). Remember that molten lava is deadly so be cautious and give it the respect it serves.
The Volcano House has a good restaurant and fine dining is available at the nearby Kilauea Lodge. I once enjoyed a fine meal of roast rabbit here but the service was quite slow. Nearby Hilo also has many good restaurants which I'll discuss in my next post.

LAWSUIT EARNS $18 MILLION REFUND FROM DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
O'Connell & Aronowitz has for the second time in 3 years recovered millions of dollars for independent and hospital-based clinical laboratories against the New York State Department of Health.
Senior healthcare litigator Jeffrey J. Sherrin, whose 2009 trial victory against DOH netted over $5 million, today won an $18 million refund for overpayment of fees charged to approximately 230 New York and out-of-state laboratories under the DOH Clinical Laboratory Evaluation Program (CLEP). Commenced in 2009, the lawsuit returned over half the fees assessed against the labs represented by Mr. Sherrin to pay for the costs of their regulation by the Department of Health.
With this most recent successful outcome in a series of litigations over these fees that dates back to 1984, Sherrin expressed gratitude to the State of New York. "Even in difficult financial times, the State recognized the need to make laboratories whole and found the monies to do so."
Settled shortly before the setting of a trial date, the action was commenced after DOH failed to revise their accounting and billing practices to limit the charges to those allowable by law. "Hopefully this brings an end to the need for these lawsuits," Sherrin commented.
American Association of Bioanalysts Administrator Mark S. Birenbaum, PhD., whose members were plaintiffs along with Healthcare Association of New York State, among others, remarked, "We are glad our members are able to recover fees that were wrongly charged to them."
President of O'Connell & Aronowitz, Mr. Sherrin is an accomplished litigator for healthcare, commercial and employment matters. His national health law practice principally represents providers and their trade associations.
Ranked in 2013 "Best Law Firms" by U.S. News Media Group, O'Connell and Aronowitz has more than 35 attorneys and offices in Albany, Saratoga and Plattsburgh providing a broad range of legal services to businesses and individuals throughout the country. If you have questions about the Firm or its services, please contact Mr. Sherrin at (518) 462-5601.

Coffee is an amazing drink, it is drunk all over the world. Someone prefers to cheer up with a fragrant drink in the morning, someone likes to drink it after a hearty dinner. Long since coffee was endowed with magical properties, around it arose various myths. However, there are facts about coffee, which even devotees of this drink did not hear.
It is generally believed that coffee energizes. However, psychologist Jay Hosking conducted a number of studies and made an interesting conclusion. It turns out that coffee only invigorates those who are lazy – then it acts as a stimulant. The experiment showed that those who were initially active, on the contrary, became lazy and became less mobile.
There is another interesting fact: coffee more invigorates women than men. After a few cups, they become energetic, while men begin to doubt their decisions and do not want to do anything.
American scientists came to the conclusion that coffee connoisseurs who drink 1 to 3 cups a day a day are less likely to think of suicide. They explain this by the fact that caffeine contributes to the development of the "happiness hormone".
No wonder they say that coffee brings together! It is proved that in its composition there are elements that have a special effect on the brain. They increase the ability to perceive information and analyze arguments. Therefore, it is easier to take someone else's point of view.
Did you know that in some countries coffee is inhaled? For people who do not drink this drink, a special inhaler has been developed. To accept a "portion", it is enough to pull the edge of the "cartridge" and inhale.
It is proved that caffeine accelerates metabolism, promotes burning of calories and reduces appetite. With regular coffee consumption, fat burns by 15 – 20% faster. If you add physical activity and proper nutrition, you will be provided with a beautiful figure.
In Brazil, coffee was associated with slavery. The African slaves labored halfway to the plantations, so that the "white people" could drink this drink.
After a stormy party, a man suffers from a headache. It prevents you from concentrating on important tasks and further worsening your state of health. Unpleasant sensations are caused by the formation of acetate under the influence of ethanol. Natural coffee blocks this process and the pain subsides. However, you should not get involved – just drink 100-150 ml.
You can make tea from coffee! From the leaves of the coffee tree prepare a fragrant drink – to taste it resembles tea. It contains less caffeine, but a lot of antioxidants.
In the 16-17 centuries in many countries, the authorities forbade drinking coffee. Especially strictly this prohibition was observed in England and Mecca. The authorities believed that the initiators of revolutions were gathering in the coffee houses. Therefore, they dispersed the conspirators and declared a taboo on coffee.
In part this was true. The Great French Revolution was planned at coffee shops, and Boston Tea Party was also discussed there. So to some extent coffee is a revolutionary drink.
To cook a fragrant coffee with a rich taste, you need to know the subtleties of the cooking process.
Fill the ground grain better with cold water, and cook – on a small fire. The cooking time increases, but the taste becomes bright and saturated.
If you like coffee with a fried flavor, before you pour the grains of water, burn them a couple of minutes in a dry turkey.
Experiment with spices. In Turk you can put a stick of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg. Hold a little on the fire and then pour water. To coffee has a caramel flavor, put 2 – 4 g of cane sugar in a Turk.
Coffee will have a very rich taste if you know a little secret. When the water starts to rise, remove the Turk from the fire. Foam put in a cup. Repeat this procedure three times.
To pour a fragrant drink without sediment, in a round with freshly brewed coffee pour 1 tsp. cold water. Wait a minute and pour over the cups.
To fix the taste, put the Turk on the fire, lightly warm it and put salt on the tip of the knife. Only then put the ground grain and fill it with water.
If you do not like black strong coffee, you can dilute it with milk. Pour in only hot milk, or even better – melted.
It is believed that the most expensive coffee is made from elephant excrement. He was given the name "Black Tusk".
To the ground coffee add a pinch of cocoa powder and cook it in a Turkish. In a separate container, whip the raw yolk – one for two or three servings. In coffee, add sugar and top with a spoonful of foam in each cup.
Pour the coffee, pour into a cup without thick. Whisk the raw yolk with sugar, add to this mixture 30 g of heated cream. Put a few spoons into the coffee, sprinkle with nutmeg.
Irish coffee was invented by the restaurant's chef at the airport of Foynes. He wanted to warm up American passengers and added whiskey to the coffee.
2 cup cold milk mixed with ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cane sugar and baked pumpkin, mashed in puree (2 tablespoons). Preheat this mixture on a small fire, but do not boil. You can add some vanilla. In freshly brewed coffee pour 2-3 tbsp. l. milk mixture, decorate with whipped cream.
This method of cooking is very popular in Turkey. In Turk, pour in 3 tbsp. l. of natural honey, bring to a boil and remove from heat. Grind a small clove of garlic, add to the Turk and bring it back to a boil. After pour the ground grain and heat the mixture, but do not boil.
Pour a glass of boiling water in the Turk, put it on the fire and wait for the water to rise. The secret is to do all these manipulations quickly – then the taste will be rich and bright.
Each person reacts to caffeine in different ways – it depends on the metabolism. Coffee drinkers should remember that the maximum allowable dose is 400 mg per day.

Gîte au calme, à proximité de superbes coins intéressants.
Très belle région mais les indications du Topo guide 'le pays de Chanac à pied' sont parfois erronées : circuit fermé (n°1 ), panneaux inexistants (n°4 ) et balisage aléatoire...(autres). Un dolmen introuvable 'sentier du Gazy' (n°6 ) derrière une grille à sauter, mais barbelés !
gîte spacieux pour deux personnes, fraîcheur appréciable en ces temps de canicule. Possibilité de belles excursions pour visiter les alentours et la piscine après l'effort !
Grande proximité entre les mobilhome.

Kanye West sparks new outrage in calling slavery 'choice'
By AFP - 02 May 2018 - 10:44
Rapper Kanye West, on the receiving end of criticism in the music world after backing President Donald Trump, sparked fresh outrage Tuesday when he called slavery "a choice."
The rapper, never shy about expressing himself, made the comments in passing during one of two free-flowing interviews he gave as he promotes two upcoming albums.
"You hear about slavery for 400 years. For 400 years? That sounds like a choice," West told TMZ Live, the broadcast wing of the celebrity gossip site.
West elaborated little on his statement but appeared to be drawing a parallel to how he is presumed to hold certain views as an African American artist.
"We're mentally in prison. I like the word 'prison' because slavery is too direct to the idea of blacks. Like Holocaust is Jews, slavery is blacks," West said.
TMZ on Twitter
West's remarks immediately sparked an uproar on Twitter, his favorite medium, and he was taken to task live by a TMZ employee who said he was "appalled."
The 40-year-old rapper, designer and husband of reality television star Kim Kardashian re-emerged last month after a year-long absence that followed a purported mental breakdown.
He enraged many fellow artists — but was embraced by conservative commentators — as he praised Trump, who has since cited the rapper's words as evidence of minority support.
In a separate interview with radio host Charlamagne tha God, West said he had not followed Trump's policies but, "When I see an outsider infiltrate, I connect with that." West — who in 2005 made headlines by saying that then president George W. Bush "doesn't care about black people" — is one of the few prominent African Americans to support Trump.
The president built his political career by promoting unfounded conspiracy theories about his predecessor Barack Obama's birthplace and has been embroiled in a number of racial controversies since taking office.
Speaking to Charlamagne tha God, West said he was upset that Obama invited other rappers to the White House such as Kendrick Lamar and Jay-Z.
Obama, in off-record small talk with a reporter in 2009 that leaked, called West a "jackass" after the rapper disrupted the MTV Video Music Awards to say that Taylor Swift did not deserve her prize.
"You know, he never called me to apologize," West said, explaining that Obama had met him and his mother before being elected president.
"The same person who sat down with me and my mom, I think should have communicated with me directly."

There is no way Mr. Twain could have ever imagined a world in which billions of words would be available to anyone, anywhere at the click of a button. But somehow he was able to perfectly capture the essence of the SEO struggle with a clever play on words.
To ensure that your website shows up among the first-page results after a Google search for those best suited for your content, you have to choose your keywords carefully—even more carefully than you would have just a year or two ago.
After all, search engine marketing has become extremely complex as the experience becomes more personalized to the unique context of words being used by each individual conducting a search. In this setting it isn't even just limited to choosing the right word instead of the almost right word. It's also extending into taking care to use collections of words that signal the context best suited for those you're best able to help.
It's not a new concept, but it's never been more important than it is today. Today's search results are tailored to each individual Internet user. They're based on users' tendencies, preferences, search behaviors, and geographic location.
You'll need personas for the people you're trying to reach. Then you'll need to optimize the content to align with the things they seek on from search engines. This goes well beyond repeating the same term over and over in as many places as you can fit it into your page copy. It means being detailed and human in your approach. Most of us do this naturally when we're talking to someone in person and the engines are looking for marketers, to extend that same courtesy to the online environment. When someone needs something online, though, it can be a pretty intricate process to have website functionality that goes along with the words to deliver an experience that matches the site visitor's expectations.
The days of loading up your webpages with industry-specific terms and jargon are long gone. While you will still need to use commonly searched words and phrases as part of your page copy, you also need to put them in context. This means including a mix of other terms and phrases that naturally support the topic on any given web page just as you would if you were discussing it with the site visitor face to face.
In addition to the common search terms, you will need to use language that connects with the personas you have created for your prospects. It needs to be human. It needs to be relevant. It needs to help them understand how your products and services will solve their problems.
Mobile now represents 65 percent of all digital media time. That's huge, and it's made a big impression on Google, which updated its algorithm in May of 2016 to ensure that mobile-friendly websites get a search ranking boost for mobile users.
Making sure mobile optimization is a key element of your marketing strategy will be crucial to online lead generation efforts.
As more people are using their mobile devices to search and surf the internet, the popularity of mobile apps has exploded. In fact, mobile apps make up more than 50 percent of all time spent online.
You're going to have to get in the app game. Make a mobile app, and then write your headlines for people on the move—concise and clear.
Google isn't the only game in town anymore. Social media is playing a larger role in delivering search results, which means you need to use keywords on your social media channels. Do this by using the right words on the right channels. For example, your keywords on Facebook should be commonly used terms, not industry jargon. On the other hand, the words you choose for LinkedIn should include keywords that will attract industry insiders.
At the end of the day, getting social is all about effectively communicating with your audience in their preferred parlance.

Decorating the fireplace wall in my house is a most interesting thing to do. All freshly spun wool yarns are hanging up there now. I am getting ready for the Christmas Faires and Festivals. Surely there will be someone who wants a little yarn now just before Christmas to make some small last minute goodies.

College night.
Last night was college night in Grosse Pointe. More schools than you can shake your wallet at, and you'd better, because JESUS CHRIST I CAN'T BELIEVE THESE TUITION PRICES. Although they all tout their financial aid programs. The average Johns Hopkins student gets a $34,052 need-based scholarship. Against a tuition of about $59,000 per. How comforting.
I hope Kate enjoys Eastern Michigan. I hear Ypsilanti is lovely in January.
While I was touring the tables, I took note of a few lonelies, schools that just didn't have the buzz to develop much of a crowd. Taylor University?* (*A little Christian school based in Upland, Ind.) I haz a sad for you. 🙁 I remember when your branch campus in Fort Wayne was a worthy part of my old neighborhood, and provided jobs and stability.
And then you pulled out. Eh. Screw you.
I shouldn't say that. One of my neighbors was a Taylor instructor of some sort. On Halloween, a huge, huge event on my street, they handed out religious tracts. Have a blessed trick-or-treat, kids.
Afterward I took myself out for Wednesday night me-time. I got a beer that sucked (some sort of local craft thing that tasted like someone had put out a few cigarettes in it), mushroom soup that tasted like tin and a grilled cheese, insufficiently melted. I'm sure they serve far better food in the Johns Hopkins cafeterias.
Well, I guess many of you have heard about the latest Lance Armstrong news. The USADA report is a:
…202-page account of the agency's case against Armstrong included sworn testimony from 26 people, including nearly a dozen former teammates on Armstrong's United States Postal Service and Discovery Channel squads who said they were aware Armstrong doped to help him win every one of his record seven Tour de France titles.
But I'm sure all those 26 people were jealous and now have a book to peddle. You can't convince the Lance-alots of anything, but I wonder if there's anyone left who's still buying his story.
I don't have much bloggage today — another tough one — but I do have this, what sounds like an interesting documentary on the Reuther brothers, Walter, Victor and Roy. I was struck by this passage:
At some early screenings, Sasha Reuther said, he was struck by how little many young people know about the history of the labor movement. "The immediate reaction is, 'Why haven't I heard of any of this before?' " he said.
He added that he was especially moved by the way an African-American student responded at a Washington high school. The teenager was surprised to see whites attacked, Mr. Reuther said. "He said, 'I thought things like that only happened when African-Americans were beaten up in the civil rights movement.' "
This isn't ancient history, folks. And in some parts of this country, what kids would be taught about the labor movement probably wouldn't resemble what we know.

On the college front, one of the things I've found interesting is which colleges send a lot of junk mail. I'm not talking about the colleges my kid signed up with at a college night, but ones that just got the info from the College Board and started sending out lots of mailers. Pitt, University of Chicago, and Yale are among the leaders in our household, which seem like an odd combo being sent to a household in the PNW.
Now off to prod her some more on the actual college apps…

I don't fault Taylor for pulling out of the south side. I think they remain a good school, albeit very bible banging, and a good value for students and parents.
Been a day from hell on my end. I got an order of protection for my 13-year old against drunky the neighbor, who I HOPE is crippled by the DT's in the county jail. A deputy told me he is being a $hithead there and was four-pointed for a few days. It's too bad, he's a great gardener and landscraper who will make a great yard trustee.
I have to testify at his pending bond hearing, the state's attorney subpeoned me – he has the best criminal defense lawyer in our community. That shyster is getting a piece of my mind because he has a 14-year old daughter and if someone pointed a gun at her he'd be outraged. I intend to make his life hell too. And you guys know I can.
I'm going to ask the f-face's mommy and daddy for $50k to move because otherwise there is no way for him to return to my street. He can't be within 500-feet, at Publix (the country's best supermarket), near our church, or near anywhere I may work, so pretty much the whole county. JTMMO I need guidance, i know he could roll up here and kill us before the police do.
The prosecutor says he is 99% sure the judge will not reinstate his bond but I hate the dammed 1% all the time.
On another front, my family just landed an insane windfall and I plan on buying a new VW Passat with cash in about six weeks. Anyone have one? Anyone have a great VW dealer because I have thought about buying one elsewhere and taking a road trip back here.

I never understood the system for need-based scholarships. My daughter got a $5,000 scholarship, renewed three times, from the place I worked. She had to beat out a helluva lot of kids for that scholarship and I was very proud of her. This was in 1996 and she went to Ohio State U, main campus in Columbus.
We helped move her into the dorm for her freshman year and I was shocked, six girls in a tiny room with bunk beds, not enough room for anything but tiny desks. She made it through that hell for one year and then got other housing.
One of her roommates was the daughter of a medical doctor, make that two medical doctors. Since her parents were immigrants from India, the kid got some sort of special tuition rate, and barely had to pay for anything. I'm just throwing this in at risk of sounding like some sort of racist, but I just did not understand how and why the system worked like that. I worked almost every minute of overtime I could get, and OT was plentiful, and we still were always getting more student loans for her. I also had a niece then, the daughter of a single mother, and she got excellent high school grades and got a full ride scholarship to Otterbein, a private school near Columbus. Good for her…well, good luck getting Kate into Michigan; it's really tough to get in there for the local Michigan kids without legacy points.

When I saw this, I laughed so hard I just about had to wipe the Santorum out of my eyes.
I'm still dumbstruck by the Frontline program on the candidates. To see Romney vehemently defending his pro-choice bona fides (and in doing so, delivering a knockout punch to his opponent in the Massachusetts gubernatorial debate) in contrast with his current anti-abortion stridency is enough to make me puke. I noticed in the last few days he has tried to convey to moderates and independents that he won't pursue any federal anti-abortion measures as president and then walked that back when the base started getting its tits in a wringer about it.
I underestimated him as a debater because I'd seen him looking so wooden and forced during interviews and on the stump. When he's been prepped for a debate, though, he's a Teflon cyclone.
Suzanne said on October 11, 2012 at 7:08 am
I never could figure out college scholarships either. One of our kids did very well in that area, the other got nothing. Same parents with the same income level for both. And it's really small comfort to get financial aid for half of your $50,000 tuition bill. I know we don't have an extra $25,000 sitting in our bank account…
I'm still mulling over the Frontline program. I was bothered by the Mormon stance that the US is somehow hallowed ground. And I was struck by the fact that Romney is probably very good at running a business but how different that is than running a country. If you need to lay people off to make your business profitable, you don't worry about what happens to those people. As head of a country, you have to be concerned about ALL the people in the country. It's part of the job and I don't think he gets that.
It also gave me the sense that Obama is still very much a work in progress and will probably make a fabulous ex-president.
ROGirl said on October 11, 2012 at 7:11 am
Alex, I think it was a big mistake for the Obama campaign to underestimate Mitt's ability to perform well when scripted and prepped. His willingness to lie seems to be limitless, but he's not dumb, either.
Jeff (the mild-mannered one) said on October 11, 2012 at 7:44 am
JW — inertia is the strongest force in our criminal justice system. Everyone has 12 hours worth of stuff to do in a 7.5 hour day, and you prioritize based on the squeaky wheel protocol. So your best response is to keep squeaking. Not screaming, because then they might stereotype you in a different sort of "ignorable" file, but steady, cheerful, firm, faintly angry with an overtone of reasonableness squeaking. To the state's attorney, county prosecutor, sheriff's office when you make your first establishing call on the CPO, sheriff or other jurisdiction when you report the first, second, and third violation, and so on. And don't take it personally when they try to fend you off, just nod, smile through clenched teeth, and tell them "yes, I know, but I will continue calling each time I see him in violation. I know you're busy, I know you've got very serious work out there, but this is my child's life at stake, and I have an order from the court that I must request your attention to."
Because, JW, the hard fact is that almost everyone comes at "us" with a facefull of "this is the worst injustice on the face of the earth, and I insist you do something IMMEDIATELY! about it" — and the reality is that most of them, two days later, are "yeah, well, that was a misunderstanding, and I'm really not so . . . ahhh, is this going to take any more of my time?" So you get major reinforcement to nod your head and let stuff ride, and see where it stands next Monday.
If you convince them that you're not nuts, and you're not going away, and you're a source of solid, useable information, you will get to a point of common cause with them. At first, you're just one of a hundred people in their jurisdiction with a CPO, 90 of which don't even care a week later about it because they've invited the person back into their home or bed or life in general. And 5 of the other 10 are calling based on chain-yanking for a variety of motivations. It may take some time to convince law enforcement that you're in the five percent that they need to watch. And keep the state's attorney or county prosecutor on notice, and make sure you have their attention, since they're thinking about the next case before they've got the file closed on the current motion, and the stack of pending files on their desk back in the bullpen.

If you need to lay people off to make your business profitable, you don't worry about what happens to those people. As head of a country, you have to be concerned about ALL the people in the country.
A key point, I think. When Mitt became bishop (i.e., the pastor of his local congregation), he began to learn about the lives of people who aren't just like him–people w/ marital health problems, financial problems, academic problems, job problems, you name it. He has been quoted saying around this time, "I had no idea people lived like this." Obviously, he learned a lot in that role, and he's undoubtedly learned more since. And, to be fair, there are many stories of him helping people in ways that went well beyond the demands of his role as as pastor. But I still have the sense, as I said in my comment yesterday, that he thinks the world would be much better if everybody would be just a little more like him.
There's a chance he's right about that, but I doubt it. Even if he were, though, it's a poor basis for policymaking. He can't help all the sick and disabled people in the country with bedside visits or cooking meals to deliver to their homes. He can't reduce unemployment by making phone calls on behalf of unemployed individuals to the proprietors of firms he happens to know. And I just don't see the policy solutions in any of his pronouncements.
Even worse, he seems to have a vision of American strength and American virtue that date from the immediate post-WWII era. That, I think, is a flawed and dangerous perspective, one that, along with his general lack of experience and expertise in foreign policy, leaves him prey to the neocons who, despite their failures in Iraq, haven't had the good grace to slink off into the shadows and stay there.

Yesterday ended early for me, but Deborah had a post about her daughter discussing politics with dad (and defending her point of view with verve! ) which moistened my eyes.
Honestly, the evening of the first debate, I thought the president did OK; he made no gaffes, and gave voice to no flat-out falsehoods.
It was clear that the challenger had utilized a different approach, and that the challenger had a little better evening overall – but only just. Chris Matthews to the contrary notwithstanding, that remains my view.
Tonight's VP show will be interesting, and I will give the post-debate yappers a half hour (at most), and then forward we go.
And when we pass through election day and it's all over – then we'll know who really "won" these debates, right?
@jtmmo – I did give the deputies crap because they have been out here a dozen times since the neighbors initial arrest and the same overfed donut monger apparently likes him. i pointed out that barring my intervention the deputy in the first case would likely be dead, he was pinned down and the defendant was trying to cuff him.
I have lived in communites where the cops would back each other. This disgusts me. and I am friends with our sheriff.
I have bigger fish to fry this week, but i have pano breading and a spice rub for this washed up NFL asshat.

My son's a senior in high school, so it has been a sobering experience, to say the least.
The silver lining in my not starting a college fund for him until last month is that if I had started one way back when, it wouldn't cover diddly anyway. That and if I had started way back when I would have used College Illinois and I would have had better returns if I went to the track.
Dexter, the comment that surprised me was yours about the Indian doctors – schools that we visited would have fallen over themselves to get one of those because most likely they would pay full freight.
My problem is that my son is really set on becoming a pilot – look out below, Pilot Joe – and tuition is a minor problem compared to flight fees. The good news is that two of the schools he's looking at include flight fees with tuition to figure out grants, and the public schools he's looking at will match Illinois' public tuition rates for out of state students.

My experience is that scholarships and financial aid are two different things. At least they were at Butler. Within weeks of her acceptance she had been notified of several merit based scholarship awards that appeared to be based on GPA and SAT scores. They covered half the cost for all four years. Financial aid happens in the Spring and includes grants and loans. Our annual cost at Butler was lower than our annual cost would have been for Purdue.
IU grad school graduation is in December and there appears to be a job offer for a low paying grant funded job in her specialty. In Traverse City.
Julie Robinson said on October 11, 2012 at 9:53 am
Look carefully at the financial aid packages to see how much of the "aid" comes in the form of loans. What looked like a good number may not be that great when you subtract the loans.
Our daughter worked in the admissions department while a student at Valparaiso, giving campus tours and calling prospective students. Valpo had courted her aggressively, calling to ask about life events and sending her a CD of the famous chapel choir. I thought that was pretty amazing until she told me that every contact with a prospective student was jotted down, along with notes that enabled them to call and ask how the band tour had gone, for example. Well, duh Mom, of course they write it all down. (Not that she said that to me, she is far too nice!)
She was also considering IU, and got squat for personal attention there, even though her tests and grades automatically qualified her for honors studies. I'm sure it made a difference in her final choice, and fortunately Valpo was the right school for her.
JW and Jeff, what an eye opener. I hope I never have to use what I've learned from you.

I wonder if the guy who passed out religious tracts on Halloween also left them in lieu of tips when he ate out. I've heard of "Visible Christians" (to use Barbara Ehrenreich's term) doing that. What a persuasive way to bring people to Christ.

Pete,
It's a long road and doesn't pay much to start, but its about the coolest job you can have. Tell your son to never let anyone try to talk him out of it.

Julie Robinson said on October 11, 2012 at 10:09 am
Bitter, that's horrible. Underpayment of just wages is the same as stealing in my Bible. After reading Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed, I start at 20% and usually go higher.

Peter, U of Ill used to have an excellent aviation program. Don't know if they still do. Also Purdue and N or S Dak. The private places like Embry-Riddle have aid packages.

Jolene@10: Very well said. Bolton and Abrams. Holy shit, this country needs that shit less than Bork on the SC or a few more holes in our heads. It's entirely possible the next four years will see four justices replaced. RMoney would cook that goose permanently.
And Alex, lying your ass off is not debating, but stupid people will misconstrue it as such. The President's error is to overestimate the rationality of Americans. RAther than rational explanations, he should have mocked Willard's bogus tax argument by saying "Read my lips". The lie about taxes and the lie about Medicare are both flagrant and transparent, but I guess it's like Tom Petty says "You believe what you wanna believe". Willard will do what he said and double down on Shrub, and accomplish what Shrub was prevented by term limits from finishing, i.e. burying the USA, lying for the Lord.

One of my sons is also dead set on being a pilot and he ended up at Eastern Michigan, which gave him the best deal out of all the schools he applied to. The flight fees are, indeed, an eye-opener, though. He says he's planning the check out the Naval ROTC program (it's a joint program with University of Michigan), which would cover the flight fees, but of course has other strings attached.

My daughter's brother-in-law is a graduate of the University of North Dakota aviation program, he spent three or four years being a storm tracker, flying and tracking storms, and is now a pilot for United Express. He doesn't make a great deal of money but all he ever wanted to do is fly.
Two of our children went to small private colleges which, with loans, scholarships, and our help, worked out well. We learned then that the small private schools would make such offers, there was nothing like that for the large state schools in state, anyway, and that included even the very top students that we knew. Our youngest is a graduate of IU with a double major in communications and Spanish, he's now down in (is it Beb who lives in) Nashville working for a company that analyzes computer data, making little money, and guess who's making the monthly payments on the loans? Our pension, after my wife reached 60, became more generous and it's not infringing on our living but still, these are tough times for young college graduates and the parents who continue to help, long after my parents or in-law parents helped either of us. I truly don't believe Mittens has any clue, despite his experiences as a active member of his church, what most people have to do day to day. And oh, that church. . .
How in hell does this make any sense at all? Total disarmament makes more sense, before some Salafist nutjob gets ahold of a nuke in the Ukraine. Seriously? $660billion? That is fracking nuts. And that missile defense shit? Shooting a bullet with a bullet. Yeah, sure, that'll work, even though every test has been an abject failure. Product of Raygun's Oldtimers.
Ultimate dog-shaming.
Nice, Joe. Jonah Goldberg pulls a RMoney and misquotes the President. That guy is a fracking nitwit. Nobody ever claimed the Shrub tax cuts caused the recession. They caused the deficit and the natdebt every GOPer is so het up about, along with credit card invasions and occupations, and the corporate welfare Medicare Part D. Acting like a grown up, the bama administration included those costs in its accounting, and voila, le deficit.

I understand that Middle Tennessee State, in Murfreesboro just outside Nashville, has a reputable flight program.
And Traverse City is quite nice this time of year. January, not so much.
This looks pretty entertaining.
I'm curious. Do GOPers expect everyone to believe Obama was President when the Great Recession arrived
Bush and Obama on jobs, the bikini chart doesn't lie. And GOPers have deliberately killed jobs all the while. The bastards are treasonous.

In case anyone was wondering why the Ohio Secretary of State, Jon Husted, was being so blatant in his voter suppression efforts — some numbers that should be great cause for optimism here in NN.C-Land.
As for Ryan, he looks I a homo if I do say so myself. And if anyone would know it would be moi.

Cooz @ 30:
If this were a shoot for a local WI publication, I would assume he's going for the "Isn't that Aaron Rodgers a NICE young man?" demographic. Because you can't pose like that in WI unless you're Aaron being jokey, or you'd be asked to take your yuppie shit back to Chicago.
In a national publication, honestly, I don't know what the hell he's thinking.

"After reading Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed, I start at 20% and usually go higher."
Amen. After reading many blog comments on tipping from the general public and noting how many were from total asshats, I figured the Golden Rule applied. Given the sheer volume of jerks, every server in every restaurant MUST be stiffed at least once a day. If that happened to me, I'd be praying to god somebody would come along and make up for it, so per the GR I have to tip a ridiculous amount.

Some shit to think about while Willard is lying his ass off about taxes.
And if you actually read what Windsock Willard said in "winning" the debate, it's clear his mind is on vacation and his mouth is working overtime.

Um, the photos were taken in December. Of 2011. Having said that, I sure wouldn't have done that even if I had no intent of pursuing an elective office, which I ain't. And doing a Murph doesn't take a video, and the earbuds would fall out. Show me a candidate who does a Murph, and I'd at least look with favor on the rest of their record.
Biden's team has probably already got the Haldol in his lunchtime soup, unless they went with the "wind him up and turn him loose" strategy, in which case it's a six of Red Bull. It should be an interesting evening on all sides.
Huzzah for 20% tippage, a platform we all can agree on here in NN.C-land. Dorothy and I will remain mute on what our respective local post-secondary experiences cost per annum, but JH isn't too far out in front.

Peter said on October 11, 2012 at 2:13 pm
Thanks for the tips, Joe, Michael, and Bob NG. Just so you know:
– U of I no longer has an aviation program
– We've looked at Purdue (it's my sister's alma mater..) but it isn't his first or second choice, which are
– SIU Carbondale and North Dakota, both of which have admitted him.
– Still waiting to hear from Western Michigan (but boy is that airport far from campus) and Embry Riddle Daytona.
And Joe, plenty of people have tried to talk my son out of it. Someone told Michael that only two or three people out of 100 make it to be a commercial pilot, and Michael told him that it's kind of a shame that the other 97 are just wasting their money.

I think those statistics are easy to find somewhere in the Web, Jeff, but I won't go around bragging about it, either. All I know is I could certainly never have afforded to go here, even in 1975 when I got out of high school. It's a wonderful school … someday I might take enough classes to have a degree from here. When I'm retired perhaps and can use the employee mostly-free tuition that's available. Then again I might be so happy to have hours and hours of free time ahead of me, going to classes would sound like torture. I'll wait and see. The older I get the less and less it bothers me that I don't have a degree.

I'm 62 today, this was the day I had planned to retire initially, I told my husband when I turned 62 that was going to be it. I moved the date up to the 5th because of my husband's teaching schedule for fall break so he could spend some time here in Santa Fe too. A lot of you have already wished me a happy birthday last week in conjunction with my retirement, so no need to repeat. We are going up to the foothills of the Sangre de Christos in a bit to check out some hiking trails I read about last night. They range from easy to strenuous, we'll start with easy since I'm still having my usual altitude issues. It takes a few days for me to adjust.
Those Ryan photos are stupid, what an idiot show off. The red backwards hat is particularly pretentious.
Sangre de Cristos, mmmmmmm. Say hello to Chimayo for me.
LAMary said on October 11, 2012 at 3:46 pm
I think my alma mater, University of Denver, is running about 40k these days.

Indiana State University in Terre Haute has an aviation program, too, that I hear is good. And it's the cheapest state school in Indiana.
MarkH said on October 11, 2012 at 5:05 pm
Exactly right, LAMary. My son looked at DU and it is 40K. He (and we) had to settle on Metro State. He'll finish a two year degree and move onto a 4 year college from there.
MichaelG said on October 11, 2012 at 5:09 pm
Giants won game 5. The radio guy says it's the first time a team has dropped both home games and swept three on the road. Wonder how the A's will do against the Tigers tonight.
My daughter went to Austin Peay which is a small state school in Clarksville, TN. Her hubby was in the Army and stationed at Ft. Campbell. I don't know what it cost but it wasn't much. It was also ten years or so ago. We just gave them money when they needed it, and they didnd't need much, no specific payment.
Oh, and the school's cheer was "Let's go Peay".
So, MichaelG, you're saying the pronunciation is "peee". 🙂
ROGirl said on October 11, 2012 at 5:34 pm
Happy birthday, Deborah.
The Ryan photos look like they should be from the Onion. That they're not is just too funny.
We're already back from the hiking trails, it was kind of a bust as the parking lot to the state park was completely full and you have to have some kind of pass to park there anyway. Live and learn, we're going to REI nearby to get the scoop on how you get the pass. But what an incredible drive up there, even more gorgeous than I imagined. The quivering Aspen were radiantly golden, next to the deep green of the ponderosas it was breathtaking. Quite a bit cooler up there too. It's only about a 7 1/2mile drive from our place.
We're doing the community college to university route too. What's killing us is the budget cuts in California make it ridiculously hard to get the classes that are required. My older son is taking classes at two schools at the same time right now.
Catherine said on October 11, 2012 at 5:43 pm
What happened when Ryan posted the photos on Facebook: http://www.lamebook.com/
MarkH, you have to admit, DU is a very nice campus. Not 40k of nice, but really nice.
Jeff tmmo, Chimayo is a big disappointment now. We went in May after not having been there for a couple of years. It is completely commercialized now by the Catholic church. It used to be so rustic and sweet, now it is surround by a three ring circus. So sad.
Sherri said on October 11, 2012 at 5:58 pm
I grew up in Clarksville, TN. The pronunciation is indeed "pee." Austin Peay was a governor of Tennessee from Clarksville. I went to high school with one of his great grandsons.
For you sports fans in the crowd, Fly Williams, one of the players from the great book Heaven is a Playground, played college basketball for a couple of seasons at Austin Peay. The little bandbox of a gym they played in back then only seated a couple of thousand, and he packed the house. Seeing him play ball is one of my best sports memories.
I think the word for what Ryan looks like in those photos is douchebag. My teenager would certainly call it that way.
Julie Robinson said on October 11, 2012 at 6:30 pm
Maybe that wide-eyed look convinced his teacher he didn't throw the spitball when he was 10, but it's inappropriate for a candidate who would be one heartbeat away from the Presidency.
Stuff Ayn Ryan will not be talking about tonight.
Sherri, when Dr. J was at UMass I was dating a girl there and spent a lot of time in Amherst. They played hoops in a minuscule bandbox of a fieldhouse. Capacity c. 1500. It's amazing that visiting teams ever got out of that place alive and intact. The place would be so packed you could pick up both feet off the floor without falling down. Amazing atmosphere.
Somebody should tell Ayn Ryan that they havve machines for leg muscles too. He looks like a Joe Tex song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Sdib6gd190
Yeah, Mark. Sherri's got it.
Kaye said on October 11, 2012 at 7:17 pm
In the past year I have learned that if you fit the profile at school is looking for you do not have to worry about the cost. Some small private schools now have a no-loan policy whereby the school will replace any student loans in your financial package with a grant. Sure, tuition at these places is in the crazy-high range to start with but that means a more generous financial aid package in general. All of this to say: do not limit your options based on the initial price tag.
Also, I now haz a baseball sad. Sorry I mentioned it the other day.
Oh, crud. It's been since 1989 that I was last there, so I guess no good sacred site goes unpunished.
Charlotte said on October 11, 2012 at 7:38 pm
I spent most of last year working with a high school kid I know on college essays and applications — she wound up at Beloit, which turned out to be a great fit for her and she's deliriously happy there (extra gratifying since it's my alma mater). Like they did for me, they gave her a buttload of money — it's costing her parents half of what it would cost them to send her to the University of Montana (and her mom was a flight attendant, so the transportation costs aren't a big issue for them either). Thirty years ago, Beloit did pretty much the same thing for me — when I told them my Dad wouldn't pay for anything but the U of Illinois (where I was stupendously unhappy) they made me an offer that came in about $500 bucks cheaper than what he was paying. And they saw me through … so, I've been encouraging bright kids I know here to apply to the smaller private schools if that looks like what they're interested in, and see what kind of package they can get.
And Kaye — sorry about your baseball sad — as a former Bay Area person, I'm sort of all warm and fuzzy inside — especially the A's (sorry Detroiters) — Coco! Although I still think the Tigers are a better team for the long run, and since I live with a Bostonian, it's all about who might beat that team that shall not be named ….
Jolene said on October 11, 2012 at 7:54 pm
Speaking of baseball, the Nats live to fight anither day? Will be a big day for sports in Our Nation's Capital tomorrow.
Not sure how I ended up w/ a question mark at the end of the sentence above. Oh, well.
David C. said on October 11, 2012 at 9:23 pm
15 minutes into the debate. Biden is on fire, and Ryan is babbling word salad. I think his inner Palin is coming out.
Joe Biden's laughter is contageous.
I am sure Kirk knows this: Marty Brenneman is an old codger who has been announcing Cincinnati Redlegs baseball games since he took over for Al Michaels way back in the very early 1970s. Marty works part time now, but he was there yesterday, calling the last Reds game of the postseason. Late in the game this idiot blurts out "the moderator of tonight's debate has been announced and it's Honey Boo-Boo!" And then he laughed his ass off maniacally. I do not understand Marty's humor. Everybody on that radio station, WLW-AM, must have to pass some sort of loyalty oath to the Republican Party. All of the radio personalities seem to swear allegiance to every repugg. One my one visit to the Montgomery Inn in Dublin, Ohio, our table was under a giant photo of Marty shaking hands with WBush43.
Salute to the Detroit Tigers, who now move on to Round Two of the playoffs.
