Apple's MAC OS X Yosemite is now available in the App Store and if you are feeling adventurous and your system is up to the challenge, go ahead and install it.
Many users report being pleased with the update, which greatly enhances interaction between Apple's iPhone's and iPad's with your desk/laptop. You can now take calls using your machine using the new handoff feature.
Users can make and take phone calls to an iPhone using their machine, and send iMessages as well.
If your system was built in the last three years, you should have plenty of horsepower to be able to run it. Apple redesigned the look of windows and the overall appearance. A new version of Safari is also included and users are reporting it is the fastest browser they have ever used.
Some users are reporting that the transparency effects can be reduced if running the new OS on older hardware from Apple.
As always, there will be a slew of updates from software companies to make sure any bugs get quickly squished. Google is already working on an update for Chrome.
If you have an older system that doesn't meet the system requirements you may want to hold off and upgrade your hardware first.
All Macintosh products capable of running OS X Mavericks are supported by Yosemite; as with Mavericks, 2 GB of RAM, 8 GB of available storage, and OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or later are required. However, the system requirements in order to take full advantage of the features off Handoff include a Mac with Bluetooth LE (Bluetooth 4.0), and other currently unknown factors.
How will websites display on Apple's new Smart Watch?


At first glance, you might think that you've gone blind: The Lamb and Flag is one of those traditional old pubs that seems to think that being able to see clearly is something that few people need. In fact, its dark panelled interior is almost impossible to navigate when you first step inside from the sunlight.
Chiefly because this isn't a new age bar that will be packed with suited and booted bankers at 2pm on a Thursday. It's a traditional old drinking hole, the kind of place most believe will disappear in the next few years. If this particular pub is going anywhere in the near future though, it's upwards. As a no nonsense, enjoyable location right in the heart of the city, they're drawing in the locals at an unbelievable rate. A mecca from the tourism driven hellholes that surround this location, it offers respite from the machinations of greedy profiteers.
Try one of their real beers. Yes, we mean the dark stuff that's not going to go down without any resistance. You can get cheap lager anywhere in the capital, so why waste this chance to enjoy the plethora of malty, hoppy brews on offer behind the bar. Anything from Germany or Belgium is sure to get you started in the right direction.

Q: Difference between data redundancy and data inconsistency Data is redundant if data is copied at many places, and data is inconsistent if multiple copies of the same data doesn't match. So does data inconsistency implies data redundancy?
 How can we more clearly differentiate between data inconsistency and redundancy?

A: Inconsistency is not only about "copies of data".
Inconsistency is typically about constraints that are expected, but not enforced. For example an order without a customer (or without a product). Or a negative salary. Or a time booking where the start time is after the end time. Or a booking for a room where the dates overlap. Or two products with the same product number.
What exactly defines an "inconsistency" is a defined by the business requirements.

A: I think these both terms are not the same problem. Redundancy is no problem if done correctly. Even more it often is needed to do things correctly.
Inconsistency is the result if you do redundancy incorrectly.
Inconsistency can also occur in non-redundant data, see transactions.

A: To eliminate inconsistencies, you should restrict the input to selector fields on a form.
The best way, of course, is to have the input field be a combo box with the data source being a table or query you supply, and limit selections to only those entries you supply in the source table/query.
The second best way would be to have that input field be an auto-open-on-type-in combo box with a data source for it being a query that gives an alphabetized list of unique values from the destination table, but should also allow "add new" values.
In either case, when the user begins typing input into that field, the combo box will open and show the matches to the first character(s) the user types. If there is a close match, the user will be able to select it, and then it will exactly match the entry listed in the combo box.
In the second case, it will also allow the user to create a new entry if what they need is not in the list.
In my experience, this is the best way to eliminate inconsistencies, and ensure any redundant data is consistent.
On the other hand, if you want to eliminate redundancy, or repeated data, such as storing all 11 characters of "Los Angeles" in every record, you should NORMALIZE your data tables, where you create a separate table containing the redundant data, and store an index to that related table in your main data record. For example, you could have a CITIES table with "Los Angeles" as entry ID 1 and "San Francisco" as entry ID 2. Then when you had 15,000 people sign up from Los Angeles and 11,000 from San Francisco, you would not have to store the names of those cities 15,000 and 11,000 times, but merely the IDs of those cities. This is called a relational database and helps to eliminate redundancy.
There is a good article on database normalization here:

The Mammoth Hunters (Earth's Children #3)
by Jean M. Auel Jean M. Auel
Paperback(Mass Market Paperback - Reissue)
Paperback-$8.99 eBook-$6.99 Audio MP3 on CD-$14.99 Audio CD-$24.99 View All Available Formats & Editions
Once again Jean M. Auel opens the door of a time long past to reveal an age of wonder and danger at the dawn of the modern human race. With all the consummate storytelling artistry and vivid authenticity she brought to The Clan of the Cave Bear and its sequel, The Valley of Horses, Jean M. Auel continues the breathtaking epic journey of the woman called Ayla.
Riding Whinney with Jondalar, the man she loves, and followed by the mare's colt, Ayla ventures into the land of the Mamutoi—The Mammoth Hunters. She has finally found the Others she has been seeking. Though Ayla must learn their different customs and language, she is adopted because of her remarkable hunting ability, singular healing skills, and uncanny fire-making technique. Bringing back the single pup of a lone wolf she has killed, Ayla shows the way she tames animals.
She finds women friends and painful memories of the Clan she left behind, and meets Ranec, the dark-skinned, magnetic master carver of ivory, whom she cannot refuse—inciting Jondalar to a fierce jealousy that he tries to control by avoiding her. Unfamiliar with the ways of the Others, Ayla misunderstands, and thinking Jondalar no longer loves her, she turns more to Ranec. Throughout the icy winter the tension mounts, but warming weather will bring the great mammoth hunt and the mating rituals of the Summer Meeting, when Ayla must choose to remain with Ranec and the Mamutoi, or to follow Jondalar on a long journey into an unknown future.

Trembling with fear, Ayla clung to the tall man beside her as she watched the strangers approach. Jondalar put his arm around her protectively, but she still shook.
He's so big! Ayla thought, gaping at the man in the lead, the one with hair and beard the color of fire. She had never seen anyone so big. He even made Jondalar seem small, though the man who held her towered over most men. The red-haired man coming toward them was more than tall; he was huge, a bear of a man. His neck bulged, his chest could have filled out two ordinary men, his massive biceps matched most men's thighs.
Ayla glanced at Jondalar and saw no fear in his face, but his smile was guarded. They were strangers, and in his long travels he had learned to be wary of strangers.
"I don't recall seeing you before," the big man said without preamble. "What Camp are you from?" He did not speak Jondalar's language, Ayla noticed, but one of the others he had been teaching her.
"No Camp," Jondalar said. "We are not Mamutoi." He unclasped Ayla and took a step forward, holding out both hands, palms upward showing he was hiding nothing, in the greeting of friendliness. "I am Jondalar of the Zelandonii."
The hands were not accepted. "Zelandonii? That's a strange . . . Wait, weren't there two foreign men staying with those river people that live to the west? It seems to me the name I heard was something like that."
"Yes, my brother and I lived with them," Jondalar conceded.
The man with the flaming beard looked thoughtful for a while, then, unexpectedly, he lunged for Jondalar and grabbed the tall blond man in a bone-crunching bear hug.
"Then we are related!" he boomed, a broad smile warming his face. "Tholie is the daughter of my cousin!"
Jondalar's smile returned, a little shaken. "Tholie! A Mamutoi woman named Tholie was my brother's cross-mate! She taught me your language."
"Of course! I told you. We are related." He grasped the hands that Jondalar had extended in friendship, which he had rejected before. "I am Talut, headman of the Lion Camp."
Everyone was smiling, Ayla noticed. Talut beamed a grin at her, then eyed her appreciatively. "I see you are not traveling with a brother now," he said to Jondalar.
Jondalar put his arm around her again, and she noticed a fleeting look of pain wrinkle his brow before he spoke. "This is Ayla."
"It's an unusual name. Is she of the river people?"
Jondalar was taken aback by the abruptness of his questioning, then, remembering Tholie, he smiled inwardly. The short, stocky woman he knew bore little resemblance to the great hulk of a man standing there on the riverbank, but they were chipped from the same flint. They both had the same direct approach, the same unselfconscious—almost ingenuous—candor. He didn't know what to say. Ayla was not going to be easy to explain.
"No, she has been living in a valley some days' journey from here."
Talut looked puzzled. "I have not heard of a woman with her name living nearby. Are you sure she is Mamutoi?"
"I'm sure she is not."
"Then who are her people? Only we who hunt mammoth live in this region."
"I have no people," Ayla said, lifting her chin with a touch of defiance.
Talut appraised her shrewdly. She had spoken the words in his language, but the quality of her voice and the way she made the sounds were . . . strange. Not unpleasant, but unusual. Jondalar spoke with the accent of a language foreign to him; the difference in the way she spoke went beyond accent. Talut's interest was piqued.
"Well, this is no place to talk," Talut said, finally. "Nezzie will give me the Mother's own wrath if I don't invite you to visit. Visitors always bring a little excitement, and we haven't had visitors for a while. The Lion Camp would welcome you, Jondalar of the Zelandonii, and Ayla of No People. Will you come?"
"What do you say, Ayla? Would you like to visit?" Jondalar asked, switching to Zelandonii so she could answer truthfully without fear of offending. "Isn't it time you met your own kind? Isn't that what Iza told you to do? Find your own people?" He didn't want to seem too eager, but after so long without anyone else to talk to, he was anxious to visit.
"I don't know," she said, frowning with indecision. "What will they think of me? He wanted to know who my people were. I don't have any people any more. What if they don't like me?"
"They will like you, Ayla, believe me. I know they will. Talut invited you, didn't he? It didn't matter to him that you have no people. Besides, you'll never know if they will accept you—or if you will like them—if you don't give them a chance. These are the kind of people you should have grown up with, you know. We don't have to stay long. We can leave any time."
"We can leave any time?"
Ayla looked down at the ground, trying to make up her mind. She wanted to go with them; she felt an attraction to these people, and a curiosity to know more about them, but she felt a tight knot of fear in her stomach. She glanced up and saw two shaggy steppe horses grazing on the rich grass of the plain near the river, and her fear intensified.
"What about Whinney! What will we do with her? What if they want to kill her? I can't let anyone hurt Whinney!"
Jondalar hadn't thought about Whinney. What would they think? he wondered. "I don't know what they will do, Ayla, but I don't think they would kill her if we tell them she is special and not meant for food." He remembered his surprise, and his initial feeling of awe over Ayla's relationship with the horse. It would be interesting to see their reaction. "I have an idea."
Talut did not understand what Ayla and Jondalar said to each other, but he knew the woman was reluctant, and the man was trying to coax her. He also noticed that she spoke with the same unusual accent, even in his language. His language, the headman realized, but not hers.
He was pondering the enigma of the woman with a certain relish—he enjoyed the new and unusual; the inexplicable challenged him. But then the mystery took on an entirely new dimension. Ayla whistled, loud and shrill. Suddenly, a hay-colored mare and a colt of an unusually deep shade of brown galloped into their midst, directly to the woman, and stood quietly while she touched them! The big man suppressed a shudder of awe. This was beyond anything he had ever known.
Was she Mamut? he wondered, with growing apprehension. One with special powers? Many of Those Who Served the Mother claimed magic to call animals and direct the hunt, but he had never seen anyone with such control over animals that they would come at a signal. She had a unique talent. It was a little frightening—but think how much a Camp could benefit from such talent. Kills could be so easy!
Just as Talut was getting over the shock, the young woman gave him another. Holding onto the mare's stiff stand-up mane, she sprang up on the back of the horse and sat astride her. The big man's mouth gaped open in astonishment as the horse with Ayla on her back galloped along the edge of the river. With the colt following behind, they raced up the slope to the steppes beyond. The wonder in Talut's eyes was shared by the rest of the band, particularly a young girl of twelve years. She edged toward the headman and leaned against him as though for support.
"How did she do that, Talut?" the girl asked, in a small voice that held surprise and awe, and a tinge of yearning. "That little horse, he was so close, I could almost have touched him."
Talut's expression softened. "You'll have to ask her, Latie. Or, perhaps, Jondalar," he said, turning to the tall stranger.
"I'm not sure myself," he replied. "Ayla has a special way with animals. She raised Whinney from a foal."
"Whinney?"
"That's as close as I can say the name she has given the mare. When she says it, you'd think she was a horse. The colt is Racer. I named him—she asked me to. That's Zelandonii for someone who runs fast. It also means someone who tries hard to be best. The first time I saw Ayla, she was helping the mare deliver the colt."
"That must have been a sight! I wouldn't think a mare would let anyone get close to her at that time," one of the other men said.
The riding demonstration had the effect Jondalar had hoped for, and he thought the time was right to bring up Ayla's concern. "I think she'd like to come and visit your Camp, Talut, but she's afraid you may think the horses are just any horses to be hunted, and since they are not afraid of people, they would be too easy to kill."
"They would at that. You must have known what I was thinking, but who could help it?"
Talut watched Ayla riding back into view, looking like some strange animal, half-human and half-horse. He was glad he had not come upon them unknowing. It would have been . . . unnerving. He wondered for a moment what it would be like to ride on the back of a horse, and if it would make him appear so startling. And then, picturing himself sitting astride one of the rather short, though sturdy, steppe horses like Whinney, he laughed out loud.
"I could carry that horse easier than she could carry me!" he said.
Jondalar chuckled. It hadn't been hard to follow Talut's line of thought. Several people smiled, or chuckled, and Jondalar realized they must all have been thinking about riding a horse. It was not so strange. It had occurred to him when he first saw Ayla on Whinney's back.
Ayla had seen the shocked surprise on the faces of the small band of people and, if Jondalar had not been waiting for her, she would have kept on going right back to her valley. She'd had enough of disapproval during her younger years for actions that were not acceptable. And enough freedom since, while she was living alone, not to want to subject herself to criticism for following her own inclinations. She was ready to tell Jondalar he could visit these people if he wanted; she was going back.
But when she returned, and saw Talut still chuckling over his mental picture of himself riding the horse, she reconsidered. Laughter had become precious to her. She had not been allowed to laugh when she lived with the Clan; it made them nervous and uncomfortable. Only with Durc, in secret, had she laughed out loud. It was Baby, and Whinney, who had taught her to enjoy the feeling of laughter, but Jondalar was the first person to share it openly with her.
She watched the man laughing easily with Talut. He looked up and smiled, and the magic of his impossibly vivid blue eyes touched a place deep inside that resonated with a warm, tingling glow, and she felt a great welling up of love for him. She couldn't go back to the valley, not without him. Just the thought of living without him brought a strangling constriction to her throat, and the burning ache of tears held back.
As she rode toward them, she noticed that, though Jondalar wasn't as big as the red-haired man in size, he was nearly as tall, and bigger than the other three men. No, one was a boy, she realized. And was that a girl with them? She found herself observing the group of people surreptitiously, not wanting to stare.
Her body movements signaled Whinney to a stop, then, swinging her leg over, she slid off. Both horses seemed nervous as Talut approached, and she stroked Whinney and put an arm around Racer's neck. She was as much in need of the familiar reassurance of their presence as they were of hers.
"Ayla, of No People," he said, not sure if it was a proper way to address her, though for this woman of uncanny talent, it well might be, "Jondalar says you fear harm will come to these horses if you visit with us. I say here, as long as Talut is headman of the Lion Camp, no harm will come to that mare or her young one. I would like you to visit, and bring the horses." His smile broadened with a chuckle. "No one will believe us otherwise!"
She was feeling more relaxed about it now, and she knew Jondalar wanted to visit. She had no real reason to refuse, and she was drawn to the easy, friendly laughter of the huge red-haired man.
"Yes, I come," she said. Talut nodded, smiling, and wondered about her, her intriguing accent, her awesome way with horses. Who was Ayla of No People?
Ayla and Jondalar had camped beside the rushing river and had decided that morning, before they met the band from the Lion Camp, that it was time to turn back. The waterway was too large to cross without difficulty, and not worth the effort if they were going to turn around and retrace their route. The steppeland east of the valley where Ayla had lived alone for three years had been more accessible, and the young woman hadn't bothered to take the difficult roundabout way to the west out of the valley very often, and was largely unfamiliar with that area. Though they had started out toward the west, they had no particular destination in mind, and ended up traveling north, and then east instead, but much farther than Ayla had ever traveled on her hunting forays.
Jondalar had convinced her to make the exploratory trip to get her used to traveling. He wanted to take her home with him, but his home was far to the west. She had been reluctant, and scared, to leave her secure valley to live with unknown people in an unknown place. Though he was eager to return after traveling for many years, he had reconciled himself to spending the winter with her in the valley. It would be a long trek back—likely to take a full year—and it would be better to start in late spring, anyway. By then, he was sure he could convince her to come with him. He didn't even want to consider any other alternative.
Ayla had found him, badly mauled and nearly dead, at the beginning of the warm season that was now seeing its last days, and she knew the tragedy he had suffered. They fell in love while she was nursing him back to health, though they were long in overcoming the barriers of their vastly different backgrounds. They were still learning each other's ways and moods.

Scottish Parliament votes for Brexit cancellation
Mar 27th 2019 1:29PM
MSPs have backed a call to cancel Brexit in the event that another referendum cannot take place, in a largely symbolic vote.
A motion lodged by Scottish Green Party co-convener Patrick Harvie stated that the UK should revoke Article 50 in the absence of an extension allowing for a People's Vote to be held – with the option of remaining in the EU.
MSPs voted by 89 to 28 for Mr Harvie's motion, with the Scottish Conservatives voting against.
The Holyrood debate was held ahead of MPs voting on eight indicative Brexit votes at Westminster on Wednesday.
The Speaker has provisionally selected these options for #IndicativeVotes:
(B) #NoDeal(D) Common market 2.0(H) EFTA and EEA(J) Customs Union(K) Labour's alternative plan(L) Revocation to avoid #NoDeal(M) Confirmatory public vote(O) Contingent preferential arrangements pic.twitter.com/xvXO4efsGg
— UK House of Commons (@HouseofCommons) March 27, 2019
Mr Harvie said: "As yet, we don't know what the result will be tonight from the indicative vote process at Westminster," he said.
"We can be fairly sure that it won't result in a simple, sudden clarity, a sort of first-past-the-post, winner takes all, outcome.
"There will still be choices to make. There will still be uncertainty.
"There will still be the threat, the huge threat of social, economic and political damage from any form of Brexit, and there will still be those trying to push the country over the cliff edge to deliberately make this crisis even worse.
"Whether a withdrawal agreement is adopted or not, we must see an extension long enough to put it back to the people and if that doesn't happen, then we must cancel the crisis, revoke and move on."
Scottish Labour MSP Neil Findlay described the political situation as a "tragedy".
He said: "We see a Prime Minister in name only, alone, credibility in tatters.
"The worst holder of that political office since the last holder of that political office.
"Losing vote after vote, minister after minister, every shred of credibility she ever had, making the UK a laughing stock across the world."
"Europe is our neighbourhood, or community, our family. We don't want to leave." @patrickharvie is opening the debate on the #PeoplesVote & #RevokeArticle50. Watch it live https://t.co/0JiaNs3P2lpic.twitter.com/irsQqWo5Mo
— Scottish Greens (@scotgp) March 27, 2019
Mr Findlay also reiterated his party's calls for a general election to be held
"A referendum with a remain option is of course the option we would like to see," he said.
"For many other reasons – not least the impact of Universal Credit, not least the hostile environment on immigration, or the policies that see poverty and homelessness increase – we also want to see a General Election to bring an end to this disastrous government."
Scottish Conservative MSP Adam Tomkins meanwhile urged MPs to support Theresa May's twice-defeated withdrawal agreement in order to respect the result of the 2016 vote and to avoid a no-deal.
"On these benches we believe that referendum results must be respected and delivered, not ignored and overlooked," said Mr Tomkins.
"When a parliament legislates to hand a question to the people directly, that means that parliament is not looking for an opinion, but asking for a decision.
"Whether we like it or not, the British people voted in June 2016 that the United Kingdom should leave the European Union."

In past podcasts, all members of the regular Writing Excuses podcasts have stated that they are members of the Mormon faith.
Recently in California, the LDS church spent millions of dollars to pass proposition 8 which took away the rights of gay people to become married.
I have been subscribing to the Writing Excuses blog and purchasing the works of Brandon, and contemplating purchasing items from Dan and Howard.
Can you guys tell me if you support the position of your church please? I've reached the point where morally I can't subscribe to the blog no matter how much I love your guys stuff or financially support you through purchasing your materials if you hold such views.
To me it's the equivalent of buying from people that would make black people drink from a separate fountain or eat at a separate lunch counter.
If you could respond to this it would truly ease my mind on my future activities.
Wavemancali: The political situation is a frustrating one, because the LGBT activists have for all practical purposes declared that if you're not for them you must be a bigoted, hate-mongering homophobe. I have seen no allowance for a middle ground.
I maintain the right to believe that certain activities are sinful, though I also believe that accountability for the sin is lessened when the parties engaging in those activities honestly do not believe they are sinning. I don't hate anybody based on their sexual preferences, and I believe that neither sexual morality nor immorality should be legislated. But if the LGBT community (or anybody else for that matter) can't allow for Christians loving the sinner and shunning the sin, no meaningful discourse can take place.
I read the LDS Church's position on Prop 8. Most telling: LGBT Activists are on record as pushing to remove any legal distinction whatsoever between heterosexual and homosexual marriage, which, if taken to its logical conclusion, would make it possible (indeed likely) for the government to punish institutions for maintaining strict hetero-only marriage policies. Removal of tax-exempt status would probably be the starting point.
Unfortunately, Prop 8 is a blunt instrument when applied to the purpose of protecting the Church from legislation that might be decades out. It's like pouring concrete over a patch of yard in order to prevent one variety of undesirable plant. The LDS Church did not word Prop 8, nor did it have any say in how the Prop 8 was advertised (and I agree that some of the advertising was shameful.) The LDS Church did not contribute any money, and did not provide any sort of benefits, in-kind or otherwise to Church members who did. Some Church members obviously contributed money and time, but Brandon, Dan, Jordan, and I were not among them. We didn't contribute, and we didn't vote. I personally think it is a messy pre-emptive strike that won't work well.
I believe that the interests of religions might be better served by legislation that proactively and very specifically protects their beliefs and practices, but I Am Not A Lawyer. In the interim, I think it might be wise for the LGBT community to push for legislation allowing Civil Unions to take place without a cohabitation prerequisite, at which point there would be no difference between prerequisites and the concomitant legal protections for married heterosexuals and for civil-unioned homosexuals. But again, I Am Not A Lawyer.
As I pointed out at the beginning, the LGBT movement has demonized anyone who attempts to take a moralistic position. They've labeled them all as haters, bigots, and homophobes. Discourse in the face of that kind of absolutism is pointless.
I have friends, business associates, and customers who I know to be homosexuals, and I feel their pain. I wish the political environment was such that it was easier for us to find common ground.
I understand where you're coming from (I really do, I'm a lesbian who recently married my partner) but I feel very strongly that this is unfair.
I support and respect your right to make political choices about where you put your time and money. I certainly don't spend my money on books by Orson Scott Card – who called gay marriage "the end of democracy in America" (Really? My marriage is ending democracy? Seriously? Cool! I am all-powerful!) and campaigned for funds to go to Prop 8.
But I would caution you to remember that most major religions in this country are against gay marriage. You probably wouldn't have much to read if you didn't read authors who are Catholic, Baptist, (most branches of) Jewish, Pentecostal, etc. And I'm assuming you don't query every author you read about their personal politics, philosophical leanings, and ask them to publicly declare their non-allegiance to their houses of worship.
Howard, Dan, and Brandon have never said anything homophobic on their podcasts, their websites don't scream anti-gay messages, and they are not spokespeople for an anti-gay agenda. Whatever their personal thoughts on this issue, they haven't made attacking my right to marry a campaign of theirs.
Let me preface my next sentence by letting you in on the fact that I re-typed it six or seven times. I believe that it's easy to single out Mormons on this issue. And in the last few weeks I have been getting increasingly uncomfortable about the way my beloved lesbian and gay community is talking about this small persecuted religious group. Wednesday night, people I call friends are organizing a protest that I believe thousands will attend outside a Mormon Church in Manhattan. As a Jew, I get a bit fussy about people being attacked because of their religion.
Yes, Mormons gave millions to the Prop 8 campaign, but I'll bet if you look at the Massachusetts proposition a few years back the same could be said about Catholics. My wife is Catholic, so I long ago decided that directing my anger there was fruitless.
My point (if I'm coming to one, I hope I've been clear) is that I don't think you'd be asking this question to our podcasters if they were members of almost any other (similarly politically-aligned) religion. And I would encourage you to ask yourself why individual Mormons deserve this disparate treatment.
You and I, and other gays and lesbians, better than most people, understand what it is like to be hated, misunderstood, and publicly shamed. Right?
Now I come here for my weekly dose of writing excuses (and boys, you are so very late posting this week's episode… grrr…) so I hope I haven't annoyed folks with this long off-topic response. But I felt like another lesbian or gay listener was the right person to respond.
Hmmm… Guess I was typing while Howard posted that. I would feel so much better about having written what I just wrote if Howard hadn't just referred to me as a homosexual. So clinical.
I think there is a lot going on both sides of the aisle here. And while I could contribute a point by point on Howard's concerns about churches losing tax exempt status (just not gonna happen, and as a government insider, I do know something about this), or why civil unions are kinda sorta exactly like separate but equal. But I'm going to restrain myself!
BECAUSE: This is not why I come here. Oh dear God, please don't let this devolve.
Can we get back to science fiction, fantasy, and horror now?
@Eliyanna: Thank you. I really appreciate your post on the matter. It was with quite a bit of trepidation that I posted my initial response because I really do care what other people think of me. It's nice to know that in spite of differing beliefs there is some common ground to be had.
Of course, I suspect we cross-posted, and you hadn't read my post before posting your own because you were carefully refining yours. I hope that now that you HAVE read it you still feel the same way.
This post has been brought to you by the Internet: Fostering miscommunication for over thirty years!
As for the podcast, Jordo is currently swamped and dying, but I have it on good authority that I'll be able to post the new episode in about 20 minutes. Thank you all for your patience.
Sorry, Eliyanna. Rest assured, my use of the word "homosexual" was not meant in a derogatory way. As an outsider I have no clue which words brook subtle offense, so I just use the clinical ones, eschew the obvious conflagratory, demeaning ones, and hope I don't get misunderstood.
This post has ALSO been brought to you by the Internet: replacing face-to-face dialog for over a decade.
I have a very funny feeling that we cross-posted on our last TWO posts. This is amazing to me. The Internet is astounding.
Well, as you can see in my last post, during which you wrote your last post (I think), I do still feel the same way. And your post has not changed my mind, despite my new burning desire to buy you a beer and work out the kinks on a few points.
More writing excuses! Less of this stuff!
Dan's got the next update. I have nothing.
Which is funny, because I'm the only one of the four of us with an actual degree in Sound Recording. But I got it 15 years ago, before the MP3 revolution, and long before "pod" meant anything to the audio world.
And that's why Jordo is in charge. He may not be lettered in this stuff, but he's currently studying it. All I do is argue with him over mic placement.
Oh, and beer is yet another one of those things Mormons consider a sin, though I do accept offers of non-alcoholic beverages.
Interesting fact: Utah voted to repeal Prohibition, but that didn't stop us from passing state laws watering down the good stuff.
You know I sent Dan a bacon present last week?
I don't think he understood the arrangement. I send him gifts. He ensures that my podcast is posted in a timely fashion.
When I finally get to Utah I will look you all up and buy a nice round of Shirley Temples!
I just posted the new episode. Cease your mutually-congratulatory cross-posting and go listen.
Thank you so very much for a) allowing my post to actually go through moderation and b) answering it in the honest and dignified manner that you did.
I respect the LDS church's right to preach that homosexuality is against god, it's a tenant of your religion. All the power to you. I respect the right of the Catholic church to do the same. I would never vilify a religion for their beliefs.
I'm a straight atheist happily married for 13 years. I have no vested interest on gay people marrying. It will personally not affect me in any significant way.
I would fight for your right to practice your religion just as much as I will fight for the right of gays to marry because I believe that these are rights that everyone should have.
Thank you for letting me know your stance. I'll happily continue subscribing and purchasing knowing that while you may not agree with the gay marriage that you didn't vote to take away the rights of others.

He is in the same school as John or John's?
This is probably easy, but I'm confused right now and I was too clumsy to find an answer through Google. Which sentence is correct?
He is in the same school as John
He is in the same school as John's
grammar possessives apostrophe
Mari-Lou A
BahmanBahman
The first one is correct.
The second one means "He is in the same school as John's school," which is so clunky that I can't even figure out whether it's technically correct or not.
Alas, what you can and can't figure isn't dispositive. They're both fine, either "He's in the same school as John [is in]" or "He's in the same school as John's [school]." – deadrat Nov 25 '15 at 8:50
@deadrat: can you give an example of a normal-sounding sentence that uses the second construction? ?"He's in the same school as mine" sounds equally bad to me. Does it really sound fine to you? – sumelic Nov 25 '15 at 8:52
@sumelic "Normal sounding"? What's the definition of that? But, I'll try. How about "You hold an opinion that's not the same as mine"? – deadrat Nov 25 '15 at 8:56
That's slightly different, though. There is no noun after the word "same." That sentence does sound acceptable to me, but something like ?"Do you hold the same opinion as mine?" is not acceptable in my judgement. – sumelic Nov 25 '15 at 8:57
@deadrat: However, it does seem that "the same opinion as mine" is a phrase that's used in real life, and that is parallel in structure to "the same school as John's." – sumelic Nov 25 '15 at 9:00

'Parenthood' stars now
The cast of TV's 'Parenthood': Where are they now?
Share Tweet Pin Email
By Bryanne Salazar 11:14am PDT, Mar 16, 2022
The emotional TV dramedy "Parenthood" captivated audiences during its run from 2010 until 2015. The series followed the Braverman family in all their ups, downs, highs and lows over six seasons of incredible storytelling. One of its stars, Lauren Graham — who played Sarah Braverman — turns 55 on March 16, 2022, so to celebrate, Wonderwall.com is checking in on her and the rest of her old castmates to find out what's been going on in their lives since they left the series… Lauren starred as Sarah Braverman, Zeek and Camille's second child. She's a single mom of two teenagers, Amber and Drew Holt, who moves back home with her parents to help make ends meet.
RELATED: "The Wonder Years" cast: Where are they now?
The year after stage and screen actress and published author Lauren Graham left "Parenthood," she returned to one of her best known roles, Lorelai Gilmore, in the 2016 miniseries reboot "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life." In addition to TV, Lauren picked up two big screen roles that year in the comedies "Joshy" and "Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life" and released her second book, "Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls and Everything in Between." 2017 also included a recurring role on "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and a voice role on the animated TV comedy "Vampirina." Her third book was published in 2018, "In Conclusion, Don't Worry About It." More recently, she starred on "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist" from 2020 to 2021 and currently appears on "The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers." Lauren's been dating "Parenthood" co-star Peter Krause (who played her older brother on the show) since 2010.

Mae Whitman played teenager Amber Holt, the daughter of Sarah Braverman and the granddaughter of patriarch Zeek Braverman.
RELATED: Music one-hit wonders: Where are they now?
There has been no lull in the forward progression of Mae Whitman's Hollywood career. After leaving "Parenthood" in 2015, the actress turned up on the big screen in the romantic comedy "The DUFF" and the sci-fi horror-comedy "Freaks of Nature." Along with her appearances in films and on TV shows, Mae's also got a long history as a voice actor. Over the years, she's lent her voice to animated characters on series like "Dragons: Race to the Edge," "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," "DC Super Hero Girls" and even "Family Guy." In 2018, she appeared in the Duplass Brothers' indie "Duck Butter" and from 2018 to 2021, she starred on TV's "Good Girls." She's voiced a character on Disney's "The Owl House" since 2020. In 2021, Mae publicly revealed she's pansexual. Though we don't know who she's dating right now, we do know she's still BFFs with her "Parenthood" little brother, Miles Heizer.
Miles Heizer starred as Drew Holt on "Parenthood." Drew — a quiet, shy young man who desperately misses his father — is the son of Sarah Braverman.
Miles Heizer moved from "Parenthood" to the critically acclaimed Netflix drama "13 Reasons Why." After leaving "Parenthood" in 2015, Miles went on to appear in several big screen dramas too including "Memoria," "Roman J. Israel, Esq." and "Love, Simon." Miles's last role in Hollywood was an appearance as a guest judge on season 10 of "RuPaul's Drag Race" in 2018. He's seemingly hung up his acting hat since then and is continuing to keep his personal life private. Though he was rumored to be dating co-star Brandon Flynn in 2017, his rep insisted they were "just friends."
Craig T. Nelson (center) starred as Zeek Braverman, a headstrong veteran who often clashed with his four adult children, on TV's "Parenthood."
In 2015, "Coach" and "Poltergeist" alum Craig T. Nelson appeared in the Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart comedy "Get Hard," which he followed with a recurring guest role on the hit Netflix series "Grace & Frankie." In 2017, he co-starred in the adventure-thriller "Gold" alongside Matthew McConaughey and in the TV movie "Raised by Wolves." In 2018, Craig returned to the big screen in the female-led comedy "Book Club" and had a voice role in 2018's "Incredibles 2" as Bob Parr aka Mr. Incredible, a character he first voiced in 2004. These days, you can catch him playing Dane on "Young Sheldon" on CBS. Craig's been married to actress Doria Cook-Nelson since 1987. He has three children from a previous marriage.
Bonnie Bedelia (center) starred as Camille Braverman on "Parenthood." Camille is the matriarch of the Braverman clan who gives her and husband Zeek's four grown children and their many grandchildren unconditional support and love (as well as frequent unsolicited advice).
Bonnie Bedelia has enjoyed a long career in Hollywood that stretches back to the 1950s. Most famous for her roles in films like "Die Hard," "Die Hard 2" and "Presumed Innocent," Bonnie's also an accomplished Broadway actress. After leaving "Parenthood," she stepped away from the spotlight for nearly two years before returning to the big screen in the 2017 comedy "A Very Sordid Wedding" and the Western drama "The Scent of Rain & Lightning." That same year, Bonnie also had a recurring role on the Kiefer Sutherland drama "Designated Survivor" and was in two TV holiday movies, "A Joyous Christmas" and "Christmas on the Coast." More recently, Bonnie appeared on the Amazon Prime series "Panic" in 2021 and in the film "Violet" that same year. When not working, you can bet Bonnie is spending her time with her husband, Michael MacRae, whom she married in 1995. She also has two adult sons from a previous marriage.
Peter Krause starred as Adam Braverman on "Parenthood." Adam is the oldest of Zeek and Camille's children and is a devoted husband to wife Kristina and their three children.
There's been no down time for Peter Krause since "Parenthood" came to an end in 2015. The actor starred in the big screen indie comedy "Night Owls" that same year while filming two shows in 2016: the miniseries reboot of "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" (where he appeared on the episode "Fall" alongside his real-life partner and former "Parenthood" co-star Lauren Graham) and the TV drama "The Catch." After two seasons, "The Catch" was canceled in 2017, but Peter didn't wait long before he was lighting up the small screen once more. In 2018, the former "Six Feet Under" star landed the lead role on the Ryan Murphy drama "9-1-1," on which he still stars. Peter has an adult son, Roman, from a previous relationship.
Monica Potter starred as Kristina Braverman on "Parenthood." Kristina has three children with husband Adam. Although she's sometimes guilty of being a helicopter parent, Kristina truly loves and cares for her family and is willing to do whatever it takes to help them succeed.
Shortly after Monica Potter's time on "Parenthood" came to an end, the actress revealed that her orthopedist husband, Dr. Daniel C. Allison, had joined the Navy Reserve. Monica, who has a daughter with the doc, learned about life as a military wife before returning to the small screen in 2017 on the crime-thriller "Wisdom of the Crowd." In 2018, Monica experienced her fair share of bad news. First, headlines proclaimed that Monica and Daniel were in the process of divorcing after nearly 11 years of marriage. Then she revealed on Instagram that she suffers from the gastrointestinal disease colitis. "Wisdom" was canceled following allegations of sexual misconduct against her co-star, Jeremy Piven. Monica, who also has two adult sons from her first marriage, more recently joined the cast of "Goliath" in 2020 for the show's third season, sticking around until it came to an end after season 4.
Max Burkholder starred as Kristina and Adam Braverman's middle son, Max, on "Parenthood." During season 1, Max's parents learn that he has Asperger's syndrome and work together to help their son find the right treatments so he can live his best life.
Ever since Max Burkholder starred as Max Braverman on "Parenthood," people have wondered if he actually has Asperger's syndrome in real life. The answer? No. The young actor made his performance authentic by meeting with doctors who specialized in treating autism spectrum disorder to learn more about what his character might face. Along with starring in the indie comedy "Babysitter" after leaving "Parenthood" in 2015, Max continued his work as a voice actor on the shows "American Dad!" and "Family Guy." In 2017, Max had a guest role on the Seth MacFarlane comedy series "The Orville" and in 2019, he appeared in two indie films. In 2021, he scored a role on the Amazon Prime series "Invincible," which was picked up for two more seasons.
Sarah Ramos took on the part of Haddie Braverman on "Parenthood." It was a main role for the first three seasons that turned into a recurring role on season 4 and a guest role on seasons 5 and 6 after her character went off to college at Cornell University.
Post-"Parenthood," Sarah Ramos has popped up on a lot of television shows, including a few episodes of "The Affair" in 2016 and 2019. She's also been in a lot of independent films since the end of the popular series including "We Don't Belong Here" and "The Boy Downstairs" in 2017 and "Ask for Jane" in 2018. Next up? One of her biggest roles since hanging up her hat as Haddie! She's appearing on the HBO series "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty," which debuted in March 2022. Sarah wed director Matt Spicer in 2020 after seven years of dating.
Dax Shepard starred as Crosby Braverman, the third child of Zeek and Camille Braverman, on "Parenthood." Crosby is often reckless and childish but deep down, he has a heart of gold. After learning on season 1 that ex-girlfriend Jasmine secretly gave birth to his son years before, Crosby vows to be a parent and, eventually, a husband to his growing family.
From guest roles on shows like "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and voice work on animated comedies like "Robot Chicken," Dax Shepard has kept his acting portfolio diverse since "Parenthood" ended in 2015. In 2016, he starred in the comedy "The Boss" alongside Melissa McCarthy and did voice work on the children's animated series "Terrific Trucks." Dax followed that with an even busier 2017, starring in five different projects including the big screen adaptation of "CHiPs" and the crime-comedy "El Camino Christmas." In 2018, along with making a guest appearance on wife Kristen Bell's series "The Good Place," Dax starred in the TV movie "Bless this Mess." He appeared in 2020's "The Buddy Games" and voiced the character of Ruben in 2021's "Paw Patrol: The Movie." More recently, he served as host of the competition show "Family Game Night." He and Kristen share two daughters, Lincoln and Delta.
Joy Bryant starred as Jasmine Trussell, Crosby's ex-girlfriend and the mother of his son, Jabbar. The professional dancer gave birth five years earlier but never told Crosby. After finally revealing the truth, she's surprised to find she still has feelings for her former beau.
After leaving "Parenthood" in 2015, Joy Bryant found a home on the TV drama "Good Girls Revolt." The Bronx-born actress also starred in the TV movie "The Advocate" before landing a recurring role on the crime-drama series "Rosewood" in 2016. After appearing on an episode of the HBO series "Girls," Joy also penned an essay for co-star Lena Dunham's feminist "Lenny Letter" about her frustration with people who tell her to have children. In 2017, Joy appeared on an episode of the comedy "What Would Diplo Do?" and in 2018 was on HBO's "Ballers." More recently, she starred on the ABC series "For Life" in 2020 and 2021. Joy's been married to Hollywood stuntman David Pope since 2008.
Tyree Brown starred as Jabbar Trussell-Braverman on "Parenthood." Jabbar learns in season 1 that his father is Crosby Braverman. Although he's hesitant at first, Jabbar eventually opens up to Crosby and develops a close bond with him.
Ever since Tyree Brown's time on "Parenthood" came to an end in 2015, he's worked steadily on the big and small screens with roles in films like "Operation: Neighborhood Watch!" and "Camp Cool Kids" as well as guest spots on TV shows like "Mack & Moxy" and "Criminal Minds." In 2020, he appeared on an episode of "Black-ish" and had a role in the film "One Nation Under God" alongside former soap star Antonio Sabato Jr.
Erika Christensen starred as Julia Braverman-Graham, the youngest child of Zeek and Camille Braverman. Julia's a busy corporate lawyer by day and a wife and mother by night, which causes frequent tensions with husband Joel.
Erika Christensen jumped from one TV series to another when "Parenthood" ended in 2015. The actress immediately found a home on the crime-drama "Wicked City" and also appeared on an episode of "Impress Me." By 2016, Erika had landed roles in four films too including the made-for-TV rom-com "Anything for Love" and the drama "All At Once." In 2017, she appeared on another TV series, the drama "Ten Days in the Valley," and in the biographical movie "The Case for Christ." She starred in the film "Clover" in 2020 and in 2022 had a role in the HBO Max film "Kimi" starring Zoe Kravitz, which she'll follow with an appearance in the Disney+ remake of "Cheaper By the Dozen." Erika's been married to cyclist Cole Maness, with whom she had two daughters, since 2015.
Sam Jaeger starred as Joel Graham, Julia's husband. Joel is a stay-at-home dad while his wife holds down a job as a lawyer. Since he's always home, Joel's developed a stronger bond with daughter Sydney than his wife has, which causes friction in their marriage.
Immediately after hunky Sam Jaeger left "Parenthood" in 2015, he landed roles in the TV movies "October Kiss" and "Lumen." The following year, he starred in the made-for-TV sci-fi thriller "Poor Richard's Almanack" and the comedy "Brave New Jersey." In 2017, he popped up in the crime-thriller "S.W.A.T.: Under Siege" and the miniseries "Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders." He followed those up with lengthy TV stints, appearing on "Tell Me a Story" in 2018 and 2019 followed by "Why Women Kill" and "The Politician" opposite Gwyneth Paltrow from 2019 until 2020. He also had a role in 2021's "The Eyes of Tammy Faye." Next up for the actor? He'll appear on Netflix's "Devil in Ohio." He's been married to his college sweetheart, Amber, since 2007; the couple share three children: August, Redford and Calvin.

What we learned in the NHL this past week
Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick stops a shot by the San Jose Sharks during the first period on Oct. 12.
(Marcio Jose Sanchez / Associated Press)
By Helene Elliott
What we learned from the past week of play in the NHL:
Goaltending is a hazardous occupation
Injuries or illnesses have left several teams scrambling to find netminders. Kings starter Jonathan Quick (groin) is expected to be idled for three months, and backup Jeff Zatkoff was placed on injured reserve after injuring his groin on Saturday. The Arizona Coyotes initially thought goaltender Mike Smith would be out long-term because of a lower-body injury but now say he's week to week, and Pittsburgh's Matt Murray is still recovering from the broken hand he suffered during the World Cup. The Boston Bruins ran out of goalies Monday when Anton Khudobin injured his arm or shoulder, according to the Boston Globe, and had to leave practice. No. 1 goalie TuukkaRask remains out because of an undisclosed injury. And Buffalo's Robin Lehner was deemed too ill to play Tuesday, so Anders Nilsson will start and minor-league callup Linus Ullmark will be the backup
Some good news: Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne, who missed Saturday's game because of a stomach problem that swept through the team, returned to practice on Monday.
Red Wings not letting 25-season playoff streak end without a fight.
Or without taking major fighting penalties. The Red Wings, known more for finesse than fisticuffs, were assessed a league-leading five fighting majors in their first six games this season. They had eight all of last season and generally rank at the bottom of the NHL in that category. They've also won four straight games since losing their first two.
Game delayed by… sun?
The Heritage Classic outdoor game, played Sunday in Winnipeg, Canada, between the Jets and the Edmonton Oilers, started two hours late because the afternoon sun caused too much glare for conditions to be safe for players. Temperatures were around 50 degrees for the game, which the Oilers won, 3-0. The real winners were the fans of Winnipeg, a city with cold weather (usually) but a warm heart. Week-long celebrations of the Jets' history included an alumni game that reunited members of the Oilers' great dynasty teams and the sight of Teemu Selanne converting two penalty shots, among other nods to the city's deep hockey roots. It was the first of four NHL outdoor games this season.
--Jaromir Jagr hits 750
That's goals, not years on Earth. Jagr, who will be 45 in February, is still a productive player for the Florida Panthers and last week joined Gordie Howe and Wayne Gretzky as the only players to score 750 NHL goals. That's an impressive group.

Seven Decades of Ferrari Icons
Seeing Red: 70 years of Ferrari
by Hazim Alaeddin 35.7k Views
The phrase "Seeing Red" comes from the anger induced in a bull when it sees red, making it charge irrationally to its target. But the Petersen Automotive Museum has brought us an exhibit that changes our perception of the phrase.
On April 29th, the Los Angeles-based museum opened its Seeing Red: 70 Years of Ferrari exhibition to the public. The exhibition will be open for a year, and fans of the history of one of the most iconic car companies in the world will be able to appreciate more than ten legendary and iconic Ferrari race cars – all in "Ferrari Red."
http://Petersen%20Automotive%20Museum
These Ferraris were instrumental in bringing the supercar manufacturer 5,000 wins, but more importantly, they were the culmination of one man's obsession with car racing: Enzo Ferrari. The exhibition will be displaying Ferraris from the car company's inception in 1947 to modern times, and they are a wondrous sight.
For example, the Ferrari 125 S, was the first car to have the "prancing horse" Ferrari logo on it. However, after not finishing its first race, the 5-speed V-12 claimed its first win two weeks later in the Grand Prix of Rome and impressively won six of its 14 races that year.
Also on display is one of the most successful race cars built by Ferrari: the 1958 Ferrari 250 TR Spyder. The TR in the name stands for Testa Rossa (Red Head in Italian) and was an extremely modern design for its period. It obliterated the competition at the time, winning 10 World Sports Car Championships, in addition to winning the 24 hour Le Mans in '58, '60, and '61. Today, the Ferrari 250 TR Spyder is a rarity and is valued at an astounding $8,000,000.
There are many more fabulous Ferraris on display at the Peterson Automotive Museum, and they can be found at 6060 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA.

Diversion program bounces criminal cases out of court
DURANGO, Colo. (AP) — Kelsey Beaver was arrested in June 2015 on suspicion of having 3 ounces of marijuana with the intent to distribute.
Instead of reaching a plea deal or going to trial, her case was "diverted" out of the court system, and she was given the chance to resolve it through alternative means.
In her case, this meant working with horses for a couple of months - saddling them, riding them and moving them from one corral to another - a new experience that taught her valuable life lessons. In return, her case was dismissed with no conviction.
"I definitely learned my lesson through it all," Beaver said. "Horses are a good judge of human character and people's intentions. I feel like you learn something by working with them."
The diversion program is yet another iteration of alternative justice - holistic approaches that aim to reform offenders and restore the harm caused to victims. Other examples include drug court, behavior court, DUI court and victim-offender mediation, reported the Cortez Journal (http://bit.ly/2eE6ssp).
It also helps alleviate a busy court docket, reduces the number of people being marked with criminal records and helps people set their lives on a less destructive path, said Brian Miller, the diversion program coordinator for the 6th Judicial District, which includes Archuleta, San Juan and La Plata counties.
"It gives them an opportunity to get their charges dismissed, but at the same time, it gets them to look at their actions, take personal responsibility, and gives the community an opportunity to benefit," Miller said.
About 8 percent of all county court cases are now diverted - about 458 defendants since March 2015.
Types of cases eligible for diversion include those with substance abuse as an underlying cause, for example, a heavily intoxicated individual who walks into the wrong house, or someone who clearly got into a fight while drinking.
Some of the more serious traffic scofflaws also are eligible. For example, people ticketed for careless or reckless driving, or driving 20 mph over the speed limit.
Possible remedies run the gamut, tailored to fit the individual, which can include substance-abuse counseling, equine therapy, anger-management or domestic-violence classes.
In Beaver's case, she was driving under the influence of marijuana. Deputies searched her car and found 3 ounces of pot, a scale and drug paraphernalia. She was 19 at the time, so she wasn't allowed to possess any marijuana, let alone 3 ounces.
"It was the first time I had been in trouble," Beaver said. "They asked me if I would be willing to work with horses, and I was like, 'Sure, I haven't really done that a lot,' and they said, 'Well, then, it will be perfect.'"
She agreed to work with Ron Tyner, owner of Cadence Therapeutic Riding and TherEx, which offers equine therapy to those suffering from physical, mental, emotional and spiritual problems. Equine therapy has also proven benefits for those struggling with addiction recovery, anger management and bullying.
"I spend some time just talking to them, figuring out what is important to them and the things they're struggling with," Tyner said.
He then puts together a program that might benefit them. If someone has low self-esteem, he might ask that person to move horses from one part of the ranch to another, and see if they can follow a plan or alter it if necessary. Clients quickly learn to take charge of the situation or risk having a "1,200-pound boss," he said.
During these exercises, he tries to impart a life lesson, for example: Show them that it's possible to have fun while following the rules.
"Kelsey was fabulous," Tyner said. "She wants to learn. She wants to straighten her life out. It's really rewarding to work with those type of people."
Diversion clients pay $50 per month to cover administrative costs. Otherwise, most services related to the program are covered by a state grant.
District Attorney Todd Risberg said most offenders in county court are decent people who made a bad mistake. There's no point clogging the court system and marking them with criminal records when those cases can be dealt with by the District Attorney's office, he said.
"It's easy to over-treat and over-supervise people," he said of court-ordered requirements. "We want to keep appropriate people out of the criminal system, because there's a fair chance of making things worse."

Li breaks world record to clinch time trial title at Para Cycling Track World Championships
China's Jieli Li broke her own world record to clinch the gold medal in the women's C1 time trial in style on day two of the Para Cycling Track World Championships in Rio de Janeiro.
Li completed the 500 metres course in a time of 43.430sec, over a second quicker than the previous mark, to top the podium at the Barra Olympic Park Velodrome.
Britain's Katie Toft, the only other cyclist in the event, was nearly four seconds slower than the dominant Chinese athlete.
Alyda Norbruis of The Netherlands produced a superb individual performance on the second day at the 2016 Paralympic Games venue as she won two titles.
Norbruis clocked 39.886 to oust Amanda Reid of Australia and China's Zhenling Song, silver and bronze medallists respectively, in the women's C2 time trial.
The Dutch star then went on to claim the C1-3 scratch title ahead of Germany's Denise Schindler and American Jamie Whitmore.
The victories for Norbruis added to her individual pursuit triumph yesterday.
"Riding in this velodrome has brought back a lot of good memories," the Paralympic time trial champion said.
"It is so special and I am very proud of how I raced.
"The scratch race was the hardest.
"You just have to keep your eyes on the fast ones in front and push, push and push."

There was further time trial success for China as world record holder Zhangyu Li won the men's C1 event, held over one kilometre, in 1min 12.586sec.
Li's time proved too strong for the rest of the field as Arnoud Nijhuis of The Netherlands and Ricardo Ten Argiles of Brazil finished second and third respectively.
Britain's Megan Giglia upgraded the silver medal she claimed in the individual pursuit with gold in the women's C3 time trial in 42.091.
Giglia won the title from yesterday's individual pursuit victor Denise Schindler of Germany, who took silver, while bronze went to American Jamie Whitmore.
Colombia's Alejandro Perea Arango beat reigning world champion Tristen Chernove of Canada in the men's C2 time trial by clocking a time of 1:13.396.
Chernove was forced to settle for silver in 1:14.105, while China's Guihua Liang was a second further adrift in bronze medal position.
Britain continued their good start to the Championships as they sealed the men's and women's tandem individual pursuit titles.
Paralympic gold medallists Lora Fachie and Corrine Hall earned the women's crown by clocking 3:31.685, with Griet Hoet and Anneleen Monsieur of Belgium claiming silver.
Katie-George Dunlevy and Eve McCrystal of Ireland were the recipients of the bronze medal.
Stephen Bate and pilot Adam Duggleby ousted world champions Ignacic Avila Rodriguez and Joan Font Bertoli in the gold medal race in the men's event, while the Dutch duo of Tristan Bangma and Patrick Bos took bronze.
The event in the Brazilian city continues tomorrow.

If you are planning a visit to Mallorca, the sun-drenched capital city of Palma is a wonderful introduction to the island.
Spending a few days exploring the charming cobblestone streets, tapas bars, and incredible restaurants will leave you yearning to return.
Tucked behind the Convent de Santa Magdalena on a narrow pedestrian street is the five star Boutique Hotel Sant Jaume. The quiet camino for which the hotel is named is one of the most beautiful in Palma's central neighborhood, located between the bustling streets of the Born and the Rambla, just off Jaume III.
There is a small gym for guests, a spa with a Finnish sauna and jacuzzi, and a roof terrace with a plunge pool. The spa offers spa services in their treatment room or in your hotel room. Massages, anti-aging treatments, and facials are available on request.
An impressive modern sculpture by artist Robert Ferrer i Martorell stretches skyward through the 4 storey hotel, and the artful theme continues throughout the Sant Jaume Hotel.
36 well-appointed modern rooms with double sleeping capacity are decorated with contemporary designer furniture. The rooms have state of the art amenities, and look out over the terra cotta tiled rooftops of the picturesque neighbourhood in Palma. The Sant Jaume church bells chiming is the only interruption to the placidity.
The location of the Sant Jaume Boutique Hotel is within walking distance of all the major sites of Palma. The eponymous Gothic Roman La Seu Cathedral, Es Baluard Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, and the beautiful Old Town are worth visiting.
The hotel is located just 15 minutes from the airport. The Paseo Maritimo is within walking distance. If you have forgotten anything, world-class shopping on the Born is just around the corner.
The neighbourhood of Sant Jaume Boutique Hotel is one of Palma's most authentic, and getting lost in the narrow caminos is where you will find interesting shops and wonderful local restaurants off the beaten path. After an evening out, fall between crisp linens to the sound of church bells chiming. Buenas noches, dulces sueños.
