    One of the advantages Baird and I had at the tail end. You’re right Rusty, it was hard to take pics on this ride.

    It was hard to hold the steering wheel straight!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂 Crazy that in hindsight that was one of our first off-road trips with the Ottingers and it wasn’t nearly as hairy before…. .. Not to point fingers but the new Razor thing of the last half dozen years is seriously changing all off-road trails………….☹☹☹☹☹☹☹

    YES, WHAT A WEEKEND is right!!!  AWESOME! MEMORABLE! Lots of LAUGHING!!!!!  I have so missed this wonderful group of people!! I don’t think anyone can truly understand the sincere kindness, down to earth geniune-ness of this group!  We had newcomers who were welcomed with open arms, regulars and in between… Everyone is the real deal- friendly, honest, kind VW enthusiasts!  I love our VW community!!!!!!!  We are a rare breed that come together in the good and the bad.. no obstacle is unattainable when we are together. Everyone pitches in for the good of all!- whether it’s for repairs, rescues, cooking, cleaning, emotional support, cheerleading…. Whatever is best for the group at the moment….  Thank you to everyone! I have a few pics, for now… more to come… and I KNOW there are tons of amazing pics others will share!!!   What a fun weekend, can’t wait to keep reliving the weekend, and planning for the next get together!!!!

    I second that on not being able to take great pics, so many of mine are blurry from the bumpy ride! hahaha but here’s a few to get started…

    What an incredible weekend!!! I am always so thankful for how kind, thoughtful, and supportive everyone in the Volkswagen Community is!!!! Seriously guys, this was way more intense than Shasta!! On Shasta we didn’t have to tow anyone home… and on this trip Jason had to tow strap + trailer tow two buses out in the dark, they hobbled one of the tour buses down, and Shanti, Franz and my Dad basically striped down Greta’s engine in the middle of the desert to replace a part Pat sped his Baja down to TomToms and back up the mountain for….then Pat hobbled his Baja back out… plus I heard the Syncros that decided to camp up there ran into some trouble and got a couple flats out there too!! Whoa… crazy… but like my Mom said- “No obstacle is unattainable when we are together” and that is SO TRUE! None of us would attempt this kind of terrain on our own… but when we are all together, no man is left behind- EVER. Even yesterday as we waited all day for the AAA tow truck, many people stayed as long as they could, and Sonny, Sarah, Jesse, and the Moss buses stayed with us till the end to keep us company and make sure everyone was going to make it home ok… that’s insanely cool and kind! This is a weekend none of us will forget!! The ones where everything went well and there were no issues just aren’t as memorable… Thank you so much for everyones help, support and cheerleading!!! You guys are all amazing and I can’t wait for the next campout!!!!

    More pics and videos are coming soon 🙂

Here are a couple photos my copilot and I grabbed F032B990-B2F7-4998-B4BE-ED7BC4C4E15D398EF134-5FCB-499F-8742-223BC6A0ACD17FB63B67-3269-4C91-844C-8ADCC8E6CD03D18E1AFC-A6D2-4837-9E32-2ADA7DBCB2900580F8D1-5CD0-45A1-A7F9-B6A5CA42989A178027F9-5EC2-4C81-94F1-88BFE232B6B0F0AB98F1-3270-4267-A280-ED042FCE6F3599775CC3-A7F5-4A5C-9F10-D724B1A42127

I’ve been to Taman Botani in Shah Alam several times, mostly for cycling. The huge park located at Shah Alam offers many kilometers of roads that is closed from traffic for cycling, jogging, and has a host of other nature driven attractions like mini zoo, paddy field, and even a 4-season house.

The most exciting activity at this place though, has got to be Skytrex Adventure.

three adventures to choose from at Skytrex
three adventures to choose from at Skytrex

Several weeks ago when the kids came over during school holidays, we decided to bring them for a little bit of good old fashion obstacle challenge/adventure.

The challenge is split into 3 categories:

  • little adventure
  • big thrill
  • extreme challenge

registration and "training"
registration and “training”

The little adventure has a maximum height of 5m and comes with 23 challenges, big thrill with 17 m highest platform and 26 challenges, while the ultimate extreme challenge goes even higher – at 22m and with 34 individual challenges.

They cost RM 35, 45, and 55 each, you can go as a group, a couple, or even just individual, I believe.

yep, it gets pretty high on top of the forest
yep, it gets pretty high on top of the forest

Since we were all newbies who only has a little bit of ego, we chose Big Thrill. Now 17 meter may not sound very tall, but once you get on the highest platform and start to look down, it does get pretty scary.

After all, 17 meter is equivalent to about 5 story high.

hang on to dear life!
hang on to dear life!

To start off, we were fitted with the safety harness, you’re also encouraged to bring your own gloves as the activity does require protection of your palms.

We then proceeded to the training ground and was taught how to use the equipment properly. There are two carabineer/clicky thingy and they are designed to have one hanged onto the cable at all time, you literally cannot detach yourself from the safety cable throughout the whole challenge.

The obstacles include climbing vertical ladders, flying fox, hopping through planks way high on the tree line, and more. It was very exciting and also physically exhausting.

we completed it!
we completed it!

There are instructors in many of the stations coordinating and helping you, and if you feel that you can’t complete due to fear/exhaustion or whatever reasons, there are also exit points to get off the challenge.

If you’re looking for a few hours of thrill in the greens and being able to do it safely, check this place out. After all, it’s only half an hour’s drive from KL.

I’m quite sure we’ll be back for the Extreme Challenge next time.

Pencil This In: Career Advice for Journalists -- Or, 'Would You Like Fries With That?'

Go out and eat today for a good cause. / Truffles photo by Eye of the Brad via LAist's flickr pool.
Our reporting is free for everyone, but it’s not free to make.
LAist only exists with reader support. If you're in a position to give, your donation powers our reporters and keeps us independent.

Newspapers are dying. And the LA Press Club knows it: Tonight’s panel discussion is bluntly titled, "What to Do After You Leave Your Job in Journalism." Moderated by LA Weekly’s News Editor Jill Stewart, former LA reporters (Brent Hopkins, Gayle Pollard-Terry) will offer their personal stories on pursuing a life after journalism. Other panelists will offer career advice and talk about the opportunities out there right now. The program begins at 7 pm and will be held at the Steve Allen Theater in Hollywood. The event is free to press club members (R.S.V.P. here). All others: $10 prepaid, $20 at the door and students $5. The fee includes all drinks and appetizers.

The UCLA Film And Television Archive presents The Love Parade at the Silent Movie Theatre tonight at 8 pm. It’s an early talkie (1929) directed by Ernst Lubitsch and starring screen idols Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald. The plot is classic: Playboy Count Alfred returns home to Sylvania where he marries the queen. But he’s relegated to the role of first husband and doesn’t like it too much. “Manly Alfred resents taking orders while Louise gets to run the kingdom, and the battle of the sexes rages over the course of several charming, effervescent musical numbers. In true form, Lubitsch has the last laugh in this parade, filming the ending reconciliation as a reversal of the first wooing scene between the Count and Queen.”

Rolex has a storied history with their GMT-Master collection of timepieces, starting with the very first pilot watch ever made specifically for Pan Am Airlines back in 1955. And over the next 40 years, the GMT-Master timepieces have been leaders in luxury, class, and elegance that you’ve come to trust with Rolex.

These watches were first introduced and designed for pilots to keep track of two different time zones at the same time that included a cleverly designed extra hour hand that would make one complete rotation every 24 hours. This means to keep track of a second time zone, all the pilot needed to do was rotate the bezel to align the corresponding numeral with the 24-hour hand on the watch’s face.

It doesn’t get any better when it comes to aviation watches than the GMT-Master II ref 16710. First introduced in 1989 and topped with an aluminum rotatable bezel, this pristine timepiece sports a larger 40mm case and a sapphire crystal and features a brand new movement not yet seen in the GMT-Master line of Rolex watches. This watch features the ability for the wearer to set the 12-hour hand independently without needing to adjust the bezel. The movement in the GMT-Master II 16710 is powered by the Cal. 3185 that makes this Rolex model a true masterpiece.

Experience the difference in design, durability, and luxury that comes with a Rolex GMT-Master II.

The Long Game

I’ve been sick for a few days, and I’m trying my best to rest and replenish.  Judging by that friendly Facebook “On this Day” reminder, it seems like every year since 2005, I’ve been sick in January and this is about the time when I would take to the internet to whine about it.  Facebook has let me know that I’m not as patient as I would like to believe.  Self-care is pretty hard for me.  Am I supposed to be resting?  Am I supposed to be moving?  I tried doing some Sun Salutations yesterday and after about three, I felt so dizzy I almost fell over.  My heart felt like it was beating in between my ears.  I took it as a sign that I should definitely be resting.

This is what’s hard about being ill for me.  I want to do something about it.  I gulp down teas, cough drops, cold medicine, and all the spicy food I can find while rubbing eucalyptus oil on my chest and praying to any god that will listen.  I need to get better as soon as possible.  I’m not really sure why I feel this urgency.  I definitely feel anxious about not being able to workout and be in my usual routine.  I’m nervous and guilty about relying on my husband to care for me.   Being sick is being vulnerable.  It’s also where I get to find out if I really like myself.  I feel joyful when I get to practice yoga, go for walks, wear some mascara, and make nutritious meals for myself.  Can I be happy in this body when I’m motionless on the couch, with crust in my eyes, in old pajamas, coughing up mystery fluids?  That’s a tough one.

During my reluctant time on the couch, I’ve been able to catch up on one of my Netflix guilty pleasures, Wentworth.  It’s an Australian women’s prison drama.  Think Orange Is the New Black, but without the heartwarming comic relief plus more stabbings.  The series follows the story of a woman, Bea Smith, who is in prison for trying to kill her abusive husband (she changed her mind at the last minute).  She starts out naïve and scared, and over the course of three seasons turns into a hardened vigilante anti-hero.  In the third season, Bea is trying to take down the corrupt prison warden of Wentworth.  She catches the warden abusing a fellow inmate and files a complaint with the prison board, but before she gets to testify at the hearing, she’s attacked and drugged.  Days afterward, when asked by her transgender henchwoman, Maxine, what the next step of the plan was, Bea replies, “I’m just gonna sit tight and play the long game.”

Bea was not in a position of power.  She tried taking the direct and seemingly easiest route, but her eagerness to succeed caused her to be blindsided.  The only way forward was to be patient.  While I’m not in prison, (I’m just an anxious gal with a cold) I can appreciate the difficulty in playing the long game.  We aren’t patient because we think we don’t have the time for it.  Yet, our own hunger to be out and through our difficulties can get us shivved (Um, I mean…lead to setbacks.)  My impatience with my body’s ability to heal only causes me to do things that make me more ill.  In a month or a year, it won’t matter that I spent three days on the couch resting and making comparisons of my life to female prison dramas.  There’s nothing to do now other than feel and accept the vulnerability of the present moment and be patient enough to wait for the right opportunity to act.  I can’t Vick’s Vapo-Rub my way to vitality, and Bea can’t take the warden down through the proper chain of command.

We’ve just gotta sit tight and play the long game.

United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Jose Juan Cervantes-alvarado, Defendant-appellant, 968 F.2d 21 (10th Cir. 1992)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - 968 F.2d 21 (10th Cir. 1992) June 23, 1992

Before JOHN P. MOORE, TACHA and BRORBY, Circuit Judges.

JOHN P. MOORE, Circuit Judge.

This is an appeal from a non-conditional guilty plea. The defendant attempts to obtain a reversal of his conviction on the ground that the district court did not ascertain whether the government could prove a non-jurisdictional element of the offense to which he plead guilty. Without considering whether the issue can be raised on direct appeal, we conclude it has been waived by the plea. United States v. Gipson, 835 F.2d 1323, 1324 (10th Cir.), cert. denied, 486 U.S. 1044 (1988).

AFFIRMED. The mandate shall issue forthwith.

This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir.R. 36.3

The Art of Scalping

“The art of scalping” seems a little dramatic for what is really just a good “haircut” for your lawn at the end of winter. Some may remember learning about scalping in history class. Others may have learned that scalping involves an expensive ticket to a big event bought from a less than scrupulous character outside the venue.

Ticket scalping is a prevalent undercover activity that has strong ties to the upcoming Super Bowl this Sunday. NFL coaches and players are even known to get involved. Yard scalping on the other hand, is a good thing.

What IS scalping my lawn?

Scalping your lawn just means that at the end of winter, you lower the blade on your mower and give your grass a really good cut. It won’t look pretty, but it serves a great purpose. Just think of it like good skin care. You are removing all of the tough, dead “skin” that has built up over the cold winter. Scalping is preparing your lawn for the spring sun and new growth that is lurking just under the soil.

Scalping is a reboot for your lawn

When you mow down low, just one inch from the ground, you are removing the accumulation of winter that can cause thatch. Once you have mowed down to the stalk more light can get to your grass. More light on your grass means warmer soil. All of this adds up to stronger grass that turns green earlier. Your healthy lawn is just waiting underneath!

Should I scalp my lawn now?

Timing is everything with lawn scalping. Wait until the last of the sub-freezing temperatures to pass. If you scalp too early, your tender grass stems will be exposed to extreme cold. The best time for scalping in our region is middle to late February.

Again, timing is critical. Don’t wait too late to scalp. If you wait too late and your grass has already started growing, scalping will only cause your grass stress. Stressed out grass means slower growing grass.

What types of grasses need scalping?

Scalping works best on warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia. Never scalp Centipede, St. Augustine, or cool-season grasses like fescue.

Quick tips for scalping your lawn:

Sharpen the blades on your lawnmower, dull blades damages grass and exposes it to diseases

Scalp when your lawn is pretty dry, mud covered grass stems don’t get enough sunlight

Bag up your clippings from scalping, debris left on your lawn is basically an undoing of the scalping

Don’t forget to use the clippings in your compost pile

As we say here almost every week, having a beautiful lawn is a year round job and we are here to help. Your lawn is part of the investment of your home and we can help you keep that part of your investment looking its’ best. Our certified lawn technicians serve Mississippi and Tennessee.

The Materials

Ever since the first furniture took shape in the workshop in Silkeborg, furniture manufacturing at Leander has been rooted in a deep respect for craftsmanship. And quality.

We select materials with the utmost care. They have to be durable, aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. Over the years we have established close working relationships with our suppliers. Our values are their values; we think quality and attention to detail into everything we do and make. Most of the furniture we make is produced using natural material.

Wood, leather and fabric are the three most frequently used materials in our furniture. We have gathered the most important information on how to maintain each of these three materials.

Most of the wood used for producing our furniture is made of wood from large sustainable forests.

We use primarily beechwood for our furniture. Beechwood is an ideal material for moulded furniture as it is strong, stable and flexible.

Furniture made from wood is painted with lacquer 2 or 3 times. The result is a simple and silky smooth surface that is both soft to the touch and nice to look at. We use only water-based lacquer in order to protect the environment. Water-based lacquer is just as wear-resistant as a chemical lacquer. And easy to wipe off and maintain.

Tested and approved. Lacquer complies with the European standard EN71-3.

Wood is a organic material that needs proper care and maintenance. For daily maintenance, wash the woodwork with a damp cloth. Remember to remove surplus water. Please note that you may experience change in the color of the wood, if and when exposed to constant sunlight.

We use leather for the strap on the Leander highchair safety bar.

The leather is made and produced using old craftsman traditions. All of our leather straps are handmade - a careful work of precision that requires many years of experience.

Leather does not demand much care. However, a little care is needed to achieve the best result. You can wipe off the highchair safety bar with a moist cloth. Remember to remove any surplus water. Now and then, leather should be cared with leather fat or the like.

When you start to use leather, it may seem quite tight. But as the leather is used, it will expand and natural folds will appear in the leather. This is not a flaw in the leather or quality, but a completely natural process.

Leander textiles are designed to create a safe haven of smooth comfort for your child – in the cot, the high chair, and on the changing mat. All our new textiles are organic and soft and made from premium quality materials from Oeko-Tex 100 certified suppliers. In this way we ensure that the textile does not contain any substances that can harm your child.

We prioritise quality. Our textiles need to feel soft and delicious against the skin. They must have a strong quality that can withstand being used and washed over and over again - because let’s be honest, our perfect little ones can be pretty grubby. All textiles come in a range of contemporary colours, that will match the playful world of your child and suit your personal taste at the same time.

You find washing instructions for your Leander textiles on the product and in the instructions.

To get the best feel of the materials and the surface treatment, visit you local Leander shop.

survivor leadership Empowerment

Being trauma informed is necessary in working with victims and survivors of commercial sexual exploitation. HOWEVER, being survivor informed is critical to promote successful outcomes in individuals coming out of and organizations serving this delicate population. Rachel coordinates with fellow survivors to consult with organizations to ensure they are being survivor informed in policies, procedures and organizational operations to avoid re-exploitation.

As a survivor of sexual exploitation Rachel realizes she is not a survivor but that she is surviving and that it is a daily choice and a daily process to move forward in the healing process while assimilating back into society. Her heart is to empower fellow individuals exploited in the sex industry as prostitutes, strippers, escorts and in human trafficking. Rachel collaborates with several organizations and emphasizes the need for collaboration rather than competition in this field. She shares best practices and tools for reintegrating back into society. She helps turn each individual story into a powerful tool individuals can utilize in their healing journey and quest for fulfillment of purpose in life

“We’ve hired Les to write feature articles for us for the last couple of years. We publish Illinois Country Living magazine, a monthly magazine with a circulation of 176,000. Les has been a very dependable correspondent for us in southern Illinois.

His writing skill was evident with the first article he submitted. But what really impressed us was his overall professionalism. He is thorough in his research, very responsive to deadlines, persistent without being pushy, and responds well to any suggestions or requests. The first draft he submits is always very clean. As an editor I really appreciate that attention to detail. Les is dependable as well as a gifted writer.”

John Lowrey, Editor
Illinois Country Living

“Les is the consummate professional. I can depend on Les to be responsive, prepared and on time with deadlines; all the while understanding and capturing the nuances of writing clear, compelling copy. It is not an easy assignment…Les knows and understands the complexities of such specialized medical reporting and greets these protocols with a smile and a terrific attitude.

I have watched Les evolve from being a good writer to a tremendous storyteller. Whether it is for a monthly business publication or a statewide magazine piece, his talent to nail down the topic continues to ‘wow’ me every time.”

Rosslind Rice, Communications Coordinator
Southern Illinois Healthcare

“…as a design firm, our core focus is to provide our clients with sharp, concise and creative messages through print collateral, online media and advertising…I can honestly say that the material we have created for these companies and ourselves has benefited greatly in large part to your research abilities and your uncanny capacity to ‘nail’ a particular tone in writing.

You have always been on time, on budget and most importantly for us as a design firm, have helped us with your ability to match a writing style with a particular ‘image’ we have crafted. Oftentimes, your services were provided on very short notice, with little information to go on other than a brief phone conversation. Notwithstanding is your grasp of proper grammar and attention to every dot, comma and semicolon.”

Women’s History Month 2021: Alumni Highlight – 20 Years Out

Wrapping up our 2021 celebration of Women’s History Month, we are featuring two alumnae 20 years out from LGO! Christine Wong, LGO ’02, and Meghan Scanlon, LGO ’00, share the LGO lessons they have carried into their careers as well as their hopes for a more diverse and impactful industry.20 years out alumni profile for women's history month 2021 blog

Why did you decide on attending MIT LGO?

Meghan: I was eager to expand my skills and perspectives beyond the engineering/technical field that I was working in. I started searching for part-time MBA programs, as I expected I would need to keep working in order to be able to pay for graduate school.   During my search, I “stumbled“ online across the MIT LGO program (called LFM at the time), and it seemed too good to be true!  MIT is simply the best there is… AND the additional fellowship funding made going to school full-time a possibility for me. I was terrified to apply as it was such a prestigious program, but I went for it anyways. I still vividly remember getting the personal phone call from Don Rosenfield… I remember where I was standing. I remember the moment of panic that maybe he made a mistake and I wasn’t actually accepted. Then I recall the pride and anticipation that I would be able to be a student at MIT. It was the best decision I could have made personally and professionally.

Christine: I did the Management and Technology at the University of Pennsylvania as an undergrad and really valued the dual degree and discipline approach to the program. It was such a formative experience to be able to apply engineering principles as well as a business mindset to every problem. The LGO program was really a natural extension of that experience.

How were you able to engage with communities of women at MIT and LGO?

Christine: With the LGO community being tight knit, it was easy to befriend and engage all our classmates.  It was especially great to meet women who all had different paths prior to LGO and then to continue to keep in touch to see all the great things they are accomplishing after the program.

What was the most valuable takeaway from MIT that has helped in your career post-LGO?

Meghan: Three things:

  1. Teamwork – it’s how businesses thrive and deliver their best results. Teamwork was essential to survive and get all the work done in LGO. You simply couldn’t do it all alone.
  2. The 80/20 rule – knowing when your work is good enough to call it done… and how pursuing perfection can eat up way too much of your time without delivering commensurate benefit.
  3. VOC training and diving deep into the customer needs hierarchy – asking “why” until you get the REAL answer of the problem you’re needing to solve.

Christine: The most valuable takeaway from the program would be the strong alumni network. I’m at Verizon today because of the network and I’m trying to pay it forward by hiring more and more LGO graduates each year to come join Verizon. We have an LGO-focused recruiting team that participates in plant treks, company day events, executive proseminar, and full-time and internship recruiting to continue the partnership engagement with the hopes of finding incredible talent.

What do you enjoy most about the work you do?

Christine: I manage reverse logistics at Verizon and work at the intersection of business and engineering every day. I love that I get to manage a team of technical engineers who develop and design product testing while also managing an operational team to implement the technical solution. The LGO program provides not only the skillset required but also the confidence to show up and deliver results.

Meghan: As president of the Urology & Pelvic health division at Boston Scientific, my job is incredibly rewarding. We improve the quality of lives for millions of patients around the world. It’s very meaningful work.

Additionally, I love serving my team and our organization that makes this company so great. Setting clear strategy and direction and then resourcing people to deliver and achieve their professional goals is one of my favorite parts of the job. Watching people and teams flourish and win is incredibly rewarding!

What are your hopes for diversity in LGO and in industry?

Christine: I’m still often the only woman in the room in most meetings at work. There is still so much opportunity for diversity and inclusion. Women carry much of the responsibility at home and feel strong pressure to do it all. Luckily Verizon realizes this gap and I was invited to participate in the Women of the World (WOW) program to tackle these very issues with squads of women across the organization doing different work but facing similar challenges. My hope is for us to have the conversations, create opportunities, and to support one another.

Meghan: I am fortunate to lead a management board that is incredibly diverse. During the many challenges of 2020, I benefited first hand from the power of this diversity. We had richer debates, we made better decisions, we served our teams more meaningfully as a result of this diversity. Diverse and inclusive teams are higher performing teams. Period. We need more business leaders who know and believe this.

Do you have any advice for prospective LGOs?

Meghan: You’ll learn the most and grow the most because of your classmates. It’s the most intense two years of your life… it will feel intense and long while you’re in the thick of it all, and in a heartbeat it will be over. Don’t strive for perfection, strive to learn and grow.

Christine: Look at the LGO program as a start of your journey. The program will open doors but with it comes responsibility. Responsibility to create change in your organizations and to continuously bring multi-faceted solutions to problems.

7 big failed environmentalist predictions

7 big failed environmentalist predictions

1) Global Cooling

A list like this has to start with the “climate change” catastrophe the environmentalists were all warning about in the 1970s: global cooling and a descent into a new ice age. Personally, I’m on record predicting another ice age—sometime in the next 10,000 years or so—based on the geological record, which indicates that the Earth goes through natural glacial and interglacial cycles. We’re in a warm period now, which is very good for us, but we can expect this will eventually change and Canada (if it still exists) will someday be in danger of being scraped off the Earth by the advancing ice sheets….

2) Overpopulation

When environmentalists said that we were destroying the Earth, they meant it directly and literally. The biggest problem was the very existence of humans, the fact that there were just too darned many of us. We were going to keep growing unchecked, and we were going to swarm the surface of the Earth like locusts, destroying everything in our path until we eventually used it all up.
There were going to be an inconceivable seven billion people on Earth by the year 2000, and there was just no way we could support them all.

Dangerous measures on the ballot about felons and property rights

Dangerous measures on the ballot about felons and property rights

Giving felons the right to vote can be a very bad idea. Most felons vote for the Democrats, and they tend to vote for liberal Democrats in a Democratic Primary. So if you live in a state like Florida where statewide elections are often close, letting felons vote will result in liberal Democrats winning those races, regardless of how you vote.

By letting felons vote, you are effectively disenfranchising yourself and other moderate and conservative voters in the state. For this reason, Florida residents should vote against Amendment Four, Voting Rights Restoration for Felons. If it passes, the Democrats will win most future statewide elections, even if they pick ideological extremists like Andrew Gillum (who is already favored to win today’s election for governor) or people more extreme than Gillum (who wants to raise taxes and has proposed new state spending that would bankrupt the state if it actually became a reality — his healthcare plan alone would cost around $200 billion per year, more than the entire current Florida state budget). The Democrats will not need to pick moderate Democrats to win, if felons can vote. They will be able to pick radicals and win.

Nor is there any reason in fairness why there should be a blanket restoration of rights to felons. Historically, society has not allowed some people to vote, including children, noncitizens, felons, and the mentally incompetent. That is because we have certain minimum standards before giving someone the power to participate in the solemn enterprise of selecting lawmakers and government officials. People who commit serious crimes against their fellow citizens do not qualify.

Voters should also vote against California’s rent control proposition, Proposition 10. As Walter Olson explains, it will result in shortages of housing, and also menace property rights in that state.

Trending: Can you spot what’s missing from Biden’s ‘Day Of Prayer’ proclamation?

Voters should also vote against Missouri’s minimum wage proposition, Proposition B. It would do more to wipe out jobs than to actually increase wages over the long run. Proposition B would gradually raise the state’s minimum wage to $12 by 2023. That amount is too high for a state with low living costs, low average wages, and low company profits like Missouri, which has the seventh-lowest living costs in the nation. Thus, it will result in many jobs being wiped out between 2021 and 2023.

Increasing the minimum wage does no good if it results in low-wage workers being fired rather than getting a raise. Twelve dollars goes farther in Missouri than $15 in high-living-cost California. But economists have said that California’s $15 minimum wage, which will go into effect by 2023, is too high and will wipe out many jobs. An economist at Moody’s calculated that 160,000 jobs will be lost in California’s manufacturing sector alone due to its increase, and in all sectors, the job loss is likely to exceed 700,000 jobs.

Special Collections supports teaching and research across a wide range of disciplines.  Our work supports the University's instruction, research, service and economic development programs, from the life sciences to the humanities.

The collections have research potential in specific types of illustrated books, in printing and the book arts, seventeenth and eighteenth century British religious thought, Plato and the Neoplationists, English book hands of the tenth to the twelfth century and University of Missouri-Columbia history.  More about our collections.

Our History

Special Collections evolved from a small collection of rare books housed in the library director’s office to a closed shelf collection administered by the Language/Literature Library and ultimately to a separately administered division of the University Libraries. In 2005, the Special Collections Division and the University Archives merged to become a single administrative unit called the Division of Special Collections, Archives, and Rare Books (SCARaB). The departments maintain their original locations in Ellis Library and Lewis Hall.  More about our history.

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist: Fangirl Friday

Any show I’ve watched of Lauren’s has been great. Gilmore Girls: My all-time favorite show ever, always has been ever since the first episode aired On October […]

Kid One came home from his last-ever day of high school with two of his friends – call them Skywalker and Zim – young men who’ve been hanging out at our house since they were young boys: many nights, many meals, and many hours of video games. Reticent but amenable when pressed into service fashioning homemade ravioli or moving furniture, they were only sneaky once – at 2AM the infamous night it Snowed At The Beach. They’ve always treated Kid Two like their own kid brother, a tremendous plus in my book, and will always be welcome.

Skywalker and Zim are part of a larger, variable group who’ve shown up at our house after the Last Day of School for over a decade. There was a degree of formality back in elementary school. Phone calls with parents, notes for the bus driver, pick-up times, negotiations over appropriately-rated movies, then computer games, then video games. By fourth grade we had six or more extra kids spending the night on a pretty regular basis. Last Day of School parties were extended to include Last Day Before Winter Break, Last Day Before Spring Break, and often, Last Day of the Week.

For their Last Day of Elementary School I asked Kid One for a head count and made what in retrospect was an arch comment about feeding a gang of boys dinner and breakfast yet again.

“Don’t worry about food, Mom,” he assured me. “I told them this was a potluck.”

Hmm. I’d never hosted a potluck, and still have absolutely no idea how he came up with the idea. Imagine, if you will, phone calls from confused parents asking about casseroles and dip. Repeating exactly what Kid One requested, I said only, “Just bring enough of their favorite dish to feed everyone.”

When the evening arrived, Skywalker brought guacamole he had made himself, and Zim brought a big tray of sushi rolls. The other kids’ KFC and ice cream drumsticks didn’t stand a chance. One of my favorite memories is still that of the group of boys sitting around our dining room table, hotly defending their favorite dishes – daring each other to taste pure wasabi, talking about guacamole and their favorite Mexican restaurants. Sharing food stories at twelve.

Preteens are really exposed only to the food they’re given at home or see at the lunchroom table. At that age their taste buds are changing, but they have tremendously varying comfort levels about trying new things. It was a truly a genius move on Kid One’s part, although he probably just thinks he was trying to save Mom some trouble. Nonetheless, I felt like I was witnessing a sea change in how they thought about food.

Fast forward six years. The formality is gone; they make their own plans and drive themselves. They’re tall now. They don’t show up as often, either; there’s sports, dates, exams, jobs – all the trappings of young adulthood. But still, after their last day of high school, Skywalker and Zim showed up with Kid One about 1pm, ate pizza, played video games, popped popcorn, played video games, then joined me in the kitchen to chop onions and peppers that Kid One grilled outside. We set up a burrito bar with a rotisserie chicken, chili beans, shredded cheese, and the grilled veggies and all sat together to eat. After clearing their plates and thanks for the meal, they then went back to playing video games. It’s often true that the more things change, the more they really do stay the same.

How To Body Surf

Ever envied the lifestyle of cute seals jumping in and out of the waters? Have you ever wondered how it would be to live like the walruses, nonchalantly swimming as the waves carry them back and forth? You’d be delighted to know that you can share the contentment and experience the pleasant routine of these finned creatures as you pick up your surfing board, sprint straight up to the shoreline and surf! On observing hordes of surfers effortlessly riding the towering waves, you might jump to the conclusion that surfing is easy! That assumption is absolutely incorrect! Body surfing is a dangerous activity that has in several cases lead to death! While the common man labels surfing a sport, an ardent surfer calls it an art! It’s a channel whereby you establish a deep unfathomable rapport with the ocean. If you’ve given surfing a shot, you’ll be quick to agree that the waves put quite a tough fight! The moment you lose control of yourself, the waves threaten to drown you, while your scanty audience applauds you for mastering bizarre underwater summersaults! However, if you know the basic technique, practice hard and put your whole heart into it, you are sure to become a pro in no time. Read the following lines and learn the techniques of this particular sport.

Steps And Techniques For Body Surfing
  • Swimming Trunks/ Swimsuits/ Bikini Wear
  • Surfing Fins
  • Surfing Wet Suits
  • Swimming Goggles

Instructions & Techniques

  • Before you learn the tricks of the trade, look out for a beach with minimal crowd to avoid knocking over clueless beachgoers. Body surfing doesn’t entail expensive equipment and you only require swim fins, to ride away the waves far away from the shore.
  • It is essential to select the accurate wave to body surf. You need to position yourself a little beyond the spot where the waves are breaking. It is highly recommended to body surf in waves that break at an angle from top to bottom as opposed to those waves that crash all at once! Observe the waves and you will develop a sense of intuition telling you when they are about to crest.
  • When you are just learning, don’t risk going without an experienced friend. If you are attempting the same on your own, stay within the close proximity of a lifeguard. For your safety, stick to waves in the 1- to 4-foot range. Beaches with a sudden drop-off in the water’s depth spell danger and therefore must not be associated with body surfing for beginners. Similarly, waves that crash too close to the shore should also be avoided.
  • Wait patiently and confidently until the wave stands a few feet behind you. Swim in the same direction as the enormous wave approaching towards you and ensure that it overtakes you before it crashes. Use the freestyle stroke while doing so. Dive beneath the wave and let it crash over you.
  • Kick your legs as you push your entire body upwards from the bottom. While the wave lifts you, angle yourself in such a way that the lower half of your body ascends above the upper half.
  • Keep your legs together and stretch out your arms together positioning them straight in front of your head. You need to maintain this straight position as you slide along the wave.
  • As you slide chiefly on your chest, arch your back slightly. If you are facing difficulty in keeping your body straight, paddle your arms and legs.
  • Extend your right arm forward if you’re headed right and the left arm if you’re headed left. Slap the surface of the ocean with your palm for acceleration.
  • In moments when you fear that you might panic at the lip of the wave and miss your classic dive, curl your entire body into a ball. It’s the safest position to crash in!
  • The secret behind body surfing is to position your head and shoulders down below your hips and legs. On achieving this position, your center of balance shifts downward as your hips and legs are elevated. The force of the waves coupled with your strokes enable the slide. Soon your chest steers you forward and your body is as good as a surfboard!
 Practice these techniques in a calm and composed form. Be persistent and soon enough you will get hooked to body surfing and might not want to live a day without it!

How to Install and Use Pacaur on Arch Linux

In this guide, we're going to look at the installation and usage of Pacaur on Arch Linux. Pacaur is an AUR helper which aims at minimizing user prompts and interactions. It works with both official Arch repositories and AUR.  If you're new to Arch User Repository ( AUR), it is a community-driven repository for Arch users.

AUR was created with to make the process of sharing community packages easier and organized. It contains package descriptions (PKGBUILDs) that allow you to compile a package from source with makepkg and then install it via tools like pacaur.

Pacaur is also referred to as AUR helpers since it automates the process of installing a package from AUR. Think of it as an automated way to build packages on a Linux server from source. Instead of manually downloading the package, run ./configure, then make and finally make install, all this is done for you automatically.

Installing Pacaur on Arch Linux using other AUR helper

The quickest way to install Pacaur is by using another AUR helper. This will take care of building everything and installation process for you. Such helpers include yaourt, packer e.t.c. The example below install pacaur using yaourt.

$ yaourt -S --noconfirm pacaur

The package should install without asking you many questions.

Installing Pacaur on Arch Linux from source

The first step when doing a Pacaur installation is to make sure your system is up to date. Do this by running the command.

$ sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm

This will update all installed packages including system ones like Kernel and its headers. Also, install dependency packages we'll need to build Pacaur on Arch.

$ sudo pacman -S binutils make gcc fakeroot expac yajl git --noconfirm

Next part is to create a temporary working directory for installing Pacaur.

$ mkdir -p /tmp/pacaur_install
$ cd /tmp/pacaur_install

The other dependency we need for Pacaur is "cower".  Cower is used to get information and download packages from AUR. Install it using the command.

$ curl -o PKGBUILD
$ makepkg PKGBUILD --skippgpcheck
$ sudo pacman -U cower*.tar.xz --noconfirm

This command generates a .tar.xz file which we can install using Pacman command as shown/

Install pacaur from AUR

Now it's time to install Pacaur. Download the files from git and build a .tar.xz file then install it.

$ curl -o PKGBUILD
$ makepkg PKGBUILD
$ sudo pacman -U pacaur*.tar.xz --noconfirm

Now clean up your system by deleting temporary directory created earlier.

$ rm -r /tmp/pacaur_install
$ cd -

You should now have pacaur installed and ready for use.

Using Pacaur

Once you have Pacaur installed, you can start installing packages available on AUR with it. Pacaur is targeted at advanced users who want some degree of automation for repetitive tasks, though anyone with average Arch Linux use should operate it just fine. It has bash completion enabled:

Two sets of command line options are provided by Pacaur: these commands call the pacman binary and extend it with AUR functions:

  • -S, -Ss, -Si, -Sw, -Su, -Qu, -Sc, -Scc

The other commands  are AUR specific:

  • sync, search, info, buildonly, upgrade, check, clean, cleanall

Below are few examples that demonstrate usage of Pacaur.

1) Install a package with Pacaur

To install a package with usual prompts, use:

$ pacaur -S <package-name>

2) Install a package without editing the installation files

With this option, you don't have to edit any file during installation.

$ pacaur -S --noedit <package-name>

3) Install a package without editing the installation files or confirmation from the user

There is no answering a single question of editing any installation file.

$ pacaur -S --noedit --noconfirm <package-name>

4) Silence Pacaur output

If you don't want any output while using Pacaur, use the --silent option.

$ pacaur -S <package-name> --silent

[lazarus] Jumping window bug

Mattias Gaertner nc-gaertnma at netcologne.de
Sat Mar 16 18:05:52 EST 2002

Hi all,

Probably some people noticed, that one of the updates on wednesday has added a real nasty bug: messages and completion boxes in the IDE jumped around. Of course this was not a bug in the IDE, but the IDE became unusable on some systems and pretty annoying on the others.

I found out the reason for the bug: LCL and gtk were not in sync about the window bounds and there were a lot of rebouncing size+move messages between lcl and gtk. I reduced this rebouncing to a minimum and this solved the problem at least for gnome+sawfish. :)
But: This is not a complete solution. :(

Hopefully this will also solve the bug for other systems as well.

Minor updates:
- improved property completion:
    if read specifier is variable and write specifier is method then
      'Variable:=AValue;' will be added to method body
- improved method completion:
    if method has 'override' specifier, then 'inherited MethodName(params);'
    will be added to method body

Yes, in that case Emacs will display both sequences using the same

OK, but then characters such as Ⓜ U+24C2 are supposed to be displayed
in their text presentation by default, so the sequence Ⓜ U+24C2 U+FE0E
seems redundant, as it should display the same as just Ⓜ U+24C2.  So
this is not such a big loss for Emacs: you could use a font which
supports only the Ⓜ U+24C2 U+FE0F sequence, and use just Ⓜ U+24C2 for
the text presentation.

You could have the same in Emacs if you define a special face that
uses the other font, and then put that face on the sequence which
isn't composed using the font selected by Emacs.

I see only a small image showing the font name, and nothing else.
Some problem with sending the attachment?

Like I said, we need a more detailed understanding of how the font is
selected by Pango in these cases.

Title: DDC-I's New SCORE Ada System Uses Open Standards

DDC-I has developed a new compilation system named SCORE
(Safety-Critical, Object-oriented, Real-time Embedded) which
supports both Ada95 and C.  This new product line was built on
several open standards: ANDF 4.0, DWARF 2.0, and OMI Host-Target

The central concept is ANDF 4.0 (Architecture Neutral Distribution
Format) which is a new XOpen standard.  ANDF is a low-level
abstraction of high-level languages, rich enough to model all known
program constructs.  It is completely independent of target
architecture (hence architecture neutral).  A source program is
translated into an ANDF representation by a language-specific
producer.  The ANDF representation is then translated into
assembly or machine code by a target-specific installer.

The second open standard, DWARF 2.0, is used by SCORE compilers to
contain the diagnostic information for the SCORE multi-language
debugger.  Previous DDC-I debuggers relied upon proprietary formats
which required access to the Ada program library.  Using the DWARF
format, all information needed to debug a program is contained within
the object file.  Although DWARF does identify the source language,
its constructs are language-independent.

The final standard is the OMI Host-Target Protocol.  OMI is the Open
Microprocessor Initiative within the European Community.  The
Host-Target Protocol defines the protocol the SCORE multi-language
debugger uses to communicate with the debug monitors on the target

Speaker Bio:

Joyce L. Tokar, Vice President of Technology for DDC-I world-wide, is
responsible for the definition and development of technology and customer
support.  This includes the continued support of the existing product
lines as well as the definition of new products and technical direction.
Dr. Tokar is also responsible for quality assurance within the group.

Dr. Tokar represents DDC-I on a number of industry panels, sessions and
working groups.  She heads the US delegation to the ISO Working Group
focused on Ada.

Dr. Tokar received a Certificate of Appreciation for Valuable
Contributions to the Ada 95 Project, from the Office of the Secretary of
Defense.  She was received the 1994 Duncan Peddie Memorial Lecturer Award
from the University of Natal.  And she has received an ABI Distinguished
Leadership Award.

   We will have copies of the NOV 1998 Walnut Creek "Ada and
Software Engineering" dual CD-ROM set available for sale to
attendees at out $10 cost.

   If you haven't attended in the past, the  fine maps available
