Oh, Mountain Jim with his tawny curls and ruined life – we'll get to him later.
First, a caveat. This book is a collection of letters written in 1873 by Bird to her sister back in England, and in reading it, I asked myself whether it was right to be critiquing letters in the same breath as literature. But as they were published in her lifetime, and as she was sending in articles to be published in various newspapers, it seems obvious she may have made changes to make things suitable for an audience, even if that audience was originally of one.
A great deal of the novel is concerned with painting a picture of the Rockies, and Bird displays and deploys some of the staples of Victorian sentiment – most notably following after the Romantic (capital r) notions of the sublime. mountains appear ghastly, air is rarefied, gorges of 'singular majesty'. Nature in places seems to imitate art in the arrangements of glades. There are 'lawns' in high meadows beneath the castellated buffs. Pages and pages of pines and shivering aspen and lakes turning orange as the sun sets. Despite the relentlessness of the magnificence of things and the inevitable linear side of any travelogue , the narrative, such as it is, is compelling. This is mostly due to the human players, and to Isabella bird's insights and sometimes infuriating reticence on the conditions of life on the frontier.
A big question mark hanging over the text was Bird's attitude towards the Native Americans, a tribe of which she sees on the train at the start of her journey: "They are perfect savages, without any aptitude for even aboriginal civilisation, and are altogether the most degraded of the ill-fated tribes which are dying out before the white races." Oh, dear, I thought. Well, it's important not to whitewash the views of those of the past, however repellent we now find them to be, so I stuck with Ms Bird and hoped I would not be subject to too many tirades. Later on in the text, she redeemed herself a little in going into an impassioned discussion of the horrendous treatment the Native Americans received at the hands of the government and the settlers, and even at the hands of one of her riding companions (a man who shot and killed many many people as a life long act of revenge against the stealing of his sister) though of course all the while there is the sense of a very limited sense of social justice – no calls for anything to be done to fix the system, other than noting it is corrupt. The savages are still savage, but how terrible that they must suffer and die. Luckily, in most of the letters she is well into mountain territory, so her concerns are elsewhere.
Mostly in Estes Park, where she meets the oh-so-Romantic/Gothic archetype, "Mountain" Jim Nugent. They find a deep connection, despite the fact that he is a known murderer and prone to fits of temper and drunkenness. In a low moment, he confesses some of his crimes to her, and tells her how he came from a well-off family, only to run away at eighteen after falling in love with a woman he was apparently too shy to talk to, and how it has ended with him, blinded in one eye by a bear attack, living alone in a cottage with his loyal dog 'Ring', but still finding time to harass the neighbours when the drink is in him:
""Now you see a man who has made a devil of himself! Lost! Lost! Lost! I believe in God. I've given Him no choice but to put me with 'the devil and his angel'. I'm afraid to die. You've stirred the better nature in me too late. I can't change." […] He made me promise to keep one or two things secret whether he were living or dead, and I promised, for I had no choice; but they come between me and the sunshine sometimes, and I wake at night to think of them. I wish I had been spared the regret and excitement of that afternoon. A less ungovernable nature would never have spoken as he did, nor told me what he did; but his proud, fierce soul all poured itself out then, with hatred and self-loathing, blood on his hands and murder in his heart, though even then he could not be altogether other than a gentleman, or altogether divest himself of fascination, even when so tempestuously revealing the darkest points of his character."
Oh, and she mentions how handsome he is, despite his scars, on several occasions. Neither Rochester nor Heathcliff ever really appealed to me, but despite Isabella Bird being as level-headed, practical and independent as they come, well, you can guess the rest. And you'll have to guess. She never divulges more than that they talked and took long horse rides together. Perhaps that's all that happened. There in her reticence is her awareness of an audience. Occasionally the text is so stripped down as to read like a bit of text from the Bible – events happen, but the inner world of Isabella Bird is entirely held back, and so many readings are possible. It is only in extreme moments, such as when she is being insulted by her hosts at a cabin, that she paints in enough that you can see how she really feels.
Her many descriptions of the interiors of the places in which she stays add an interesting contrast to the wide plains and the high passes. She rarely fails to say what her sleeping arrangements were like, what the women were doing, how they were doing – were they well-off immigrants struggling to adapt to the isolation and hard grind of daily life? Were they stout widows, were they unbelievably coarse and chatty? Bird makes herself useful in domestic situations, even while she prefers rounding up cattle and doing farm work, reveling in, but in a tongue in cheek way, the complements of men who mistook her for a man, or said she was as good as a man. She knows she is as good as a man, an excellent rider and able to navigate trackless paths in storms that have shut down all other transportation, and even if her eyelids are getting stuck together from the intense cold, she can pry them open enough to take in the glories, eeriness, loneliness of the mountain wilderness, in order that she can write them down later.
Perhaps one day they'll make a film of this portion of her life – certainly enough material for it. Now I get to imagine who they would cast in what role…

Anh Ngo Takes College Education from One Country to the Next
March 01, 2010
Many aspiring college students start out looking at schools farther away from home while still wanting to remain on the same continent. However, that was not the case for Anh Ngo, a senior at Mount Union who is taking her college education from one country to the next. Next fall, she will be attending a prestigious graduate school in England.
Ngo, a native of Hanoi, Vietnam, is a senior accounting major with double minors in business administration and German. Looking to further her education, Ngo applied to several top-notch graduate schools, but it was the University of London Cass Business School that caught her eye.
"American business schools normally have an MBA or EMBA programs and that was not what I was looking for," she said. "I decided to switch to England." Ngo explained that British universities offer a wide range of specialty master's degrees such as a master of science degree in banking and international finance, finance and international accounting, finance and investment, trade and finance, among other programs.
Graduate schools in Britain had exactly what she was looking for when it came to her pursuing her education. Not to mention Ngo has been offered a scholarship that will cover 75 percent of her tuition and is still being encouraged to apply for more financial aid to cover the rest of the cost.
It was not an easy task for Ngo to earn all of these awards and prestigious scholarships to attend Cass Business School. "I had to submit several essays, application forms and reference letters from my professors and employers," said Ngo. "The scholarship was based on financial-needs, academic achievements and other relevant information."
However, Ngo cannot take all the glory for her success here at Mount Union and her love for accounting. She credits Ruth Pogacnik and Dr. Patricia Matthews, both professors in the Department of Economics, Accounting and Business Administration, for many of her achievements here at Mount Union.
Ngo said that she could count on Pogacnik just as she could count on the support of her mother. "She supports me whenever I feel exhausted or want to give up," she said. "I have more strength and confidence whenever she says 'Anh, you can do that.'"
Her words for Matthews are just as inspiring. "For me, Dr. Matthews is a source of knowledge and I am curious to learn more and more," Ngo explained. "Had I known her earlier, probably one semester earlier, I would have declared a second major in finance."
After graduation in the spring, Ngo will begin to prepare for the start of her adventures in London, England. She is set to arrive in England in September of 2010 and will be living on campus due to the high cost of living. The graduate program will last nearly 10 months without any breaks.
Living in the financial capital of Europe will have many perks when Ngo goes to apply for jobs after graduate school. She is hopeful to apply for jobs in the financial sector of an investment bank company.
"Anh is part of the first wave of students which Mount Union has been fortunate to enroll over the past five years from Vietnam," said Scott Slabaugh, director of the Center for Global Education. "She is a prime example of how intensely serious our Vietnamese students are academically while at the same time finding time to be active and involved on campus socially."
With Ngo's drive to succeed, her curiosity for learning and the support of friends and professors here at Mount Union, she should not have any trouble living her dreams. "I believe we can achieve everything we want if we have passion," she said.

Change not always as good as horror day
FEAR not, even though they're going to change the super rules. Again.
There's never yet been a change that was retrospective, which is why the rules are so complicated.
Trust me, all these special cases from several changes ago will remain on the books forever.
Besides, there's a way for retirees to protect themselves, which I'm coming to.
But it must be said the government frightened the bejesus out of baby boomers by planting the rumour that it would lift the tax on super payouts, something Treasury is keen on. Accustomed as we are to governments changing the goalposts, that sounded like switching to another code altogether.
Eventually, a denial came from none other than Julia Gillard - oh dear, not a good sign - along with the hint there would be something or other in the May budget that would be not as bad. Guess she's hoping we'll be grateful for small mercies. And where's the opposition when you need it? It can only bring itself to rule out any changes for 12 months.
The super industry isn't much help, either. It's got a bee in its bonnet about how you can salary sacrifice only $25,000 a year at most - even less in practice because your employer's compulsory contribution also counts - into super and it's taxed at 15 per cent instead of up to three times that on your marginal tax rate.
The cap used to be quadruple that, allowing those near retirement to have a last-minute dash to top up their super. But when you think about it, if there's a spare $100,000 sitting around, do you really need an extra tax break to stash it into super where there's one already? Especially knowing you'll be retiring soon? Anyway, just between us, there's a way around that.
Ask an accountant to set up your own fund and lend the money to it. A loan isn't considered a contribution.
Where was I? Oh yes, super's secret black box is the 15 per cent flat tax on what it earns. This is simply unbeatable as a tax break. Well, legally, that is.
Although salary sacrificing gets all the attention, and it's great as tax breaks go, don't underrate contributions from your after-tax pay. There's no tax break going in, but you get the black box working for you. And there's iron-clad protection from future rule changes to boot.
How's that so?
Because the money has already been taxed as your income. It's designated tax-free (as distinct from taxable, where anything could happen) when it enters the super system, never to be heard from again.
Once it eventually emerges, it will have metamorphosed into an armour-plated payment that can't be tampered with.
Which brings me to a special trick, officially sanctioned as a re-contribution, for self-funded retirees over 60.
In this seemingly pointless exercise, you take money out and then put it back in.
How hard is that?
Yet you'll be waving a magic wand that turns it into a tax-free component, protecting you from any future rule changes.

Estes Park graduate, Kelsi Lasota was named 3-A Track and Field "Athlete of the Year" for the 2014 Women's Track and Field season in the June 4 addition of the Denver Post.
"I was on-line looking up some information regarding Boise State, when Kelsi's name popped up regarding a June 4th publication in the Denver Post," said Dave Lasota, Kelsi's father. "I thought it had something to do with the end of her 2014 season. We all were so surprised when we saw that she was named 'Athlete of the Year' for 3A Colorado Women's Track and Field."
Kelsi was among a strong handful of other qualified athletes in the 3A Track and Field All-State recognition for the 3A title.
"She was among some heavy hitters," said her dad. "3-A doesn't get recognition in the Denver Post very often, so to get this recognition is really unbelievable."
Kelsi won the 800m and the 1600m races and finished second in the 3200m at the 2014 Colorado, State Track and Field competition in Thornton in May. As a top student and athlete in Estes Park High School, Kelsi has been repeatedly recognized with all-state and all-conference and academic athletic awards her entire high school career in both Track and Field and Cross Country. She also was a member of various club during high school; including the Junior Quota Club and National Honor Society her senior year.
"As I was reading through the names of the others who were recognized, I was saying to myself 'she's a nice person' and 'yes, she totally deserves it' and then I saw my name!" said Kelsi. "I'm so amazed that of all the girls in 3A, they chose me."
"We are so proud of her," said Estes Park High School track coach Kevin Soviak. ""She's a hard worker and this recognition is well-deserved."
The overall "Fred Steinmark High School Athlete of the Year" for females, across all five-high school classifications was Elise Cranny from Niwot High School. Cranny was also the 4A Athlete of the Year, winning the 800m, 1600m and 3200m races, in which she owns the state records. Cranny shattered the high school state record in the 3200, during her 2014 performance.
"To know that I was considered within the same recognition as Elise. I'm so amazed. I'm very excited" said Kelsi.
Kelsi will be attending Boise State University in the Fall. She has a partial scholarship to run for the Bronco's in Cross Country and track, both indoor and outdoor. She intends to study Mechanical Engineering.

I've been lurking on e-hell for several years but I really don't know the answer to this one. I posted a while back about my brother and his fiance having a baby shower for what is her third child and his first. The shower sort of became a moot point when the Peanut was born six weeks early, several weeks before the shower. He's fine, no lasting medical concerns, very handsome and chubby baby. His parents, though, another story entirely! My brother is a little...different... Always has been but this takes the cake! First, Baby was six weeks early. They had nothing prepared (not unusual) but did expect my mom and I to foot the bill on some clothes, diapers, furniture, etc. Luckily we have an amazing second-hand baby store in our town so it wasn't too pricey. Which was good because he and his fiance destroyed the things we bought, no stain treating, no washing even. Not that I wanted it back or anything but he could have sold it back to above mentioned awesome baby store and used it to buy bigger things. My mom spent the first two weeks of Baby's life at the hospital and running back and forth for them, letting them nap, changing diapers, doing the awesome mom stuff she's done all our lives. No thanks, just slurs from fiance about how mom won't be allowed to babysit because she has outdated views on baby care. Honestly, my kids aren't that old and I hadn't heard of the "no water in the ears" policy!Second, Brother and fiance got married a few weeks ago. Without telling anyone but my dad and step-mom. Excluding all family members. Then announced it on Facebook. He still hasn't actually announced it to any of us. I really don't like Facebook and absolutely can't stand when people use it to announce things they should be calling close family about first.And third, Brother has legally changed his last name to something that has no business as a name and has nothing to do with family history. It's a random adjective, not Gramma's maiden name or something. My parents are very hurt. My mother is downsizing her house to move into a retirement community and has said that he's not getting any of the stuff she's been holding on to because it's for Brother "Smith" and he's decided he doesn't want to be that person. My brother is the only son, so he was the one to carry on the family name. Not hugely important to most people but it matters a lot to my Dad. So my question is this: I am inclined to cut off contact with him and his wife for a while. I don't want to say things I can't take back and I think I need some time to cool off about how much he has affected my parents with his persistently selfish behavior. This is pretty out of character for him, so I also thought that by taking this step he would understand that he has affected others with his decisions and maybe learn a lesson or something. Am I justified in doing this? I don't want to miss time with my amazing nephew but I also don't want to grow to hate his parents. Any suggestions?

AUSTIN, Texas (Jan. 12, 2013) – Dawn Kiel scored 19 points and St. Edward's (Texas) shot a sizzling 64.7 percent from 3-point range, pulling away late for a 77-64 win over Oklahoma Christian on Saturday at the Recreation and Convocation Center.
OC (9-8) led briefly during the second half but the Lady Eagles went more than 10 minutes without a field goal, allowing St. Edward's (9-5) to build a double-digit lead in the first meeting between the teams since the 1998-99 season. The Hilltoppers and OC will meet twice annually now as Heartland Conference foes.
The Lady Eagles split this week's Heartland road trip, winning at McMurry (Texas) in Abilene on Thursday before a trip across the Lone Star State for Saturday's game.
"We were sluggish," OC coach Stephanie Findley said. "We were sluggish moving on defense. We were sluggish in the way we were executing our offense. It may just be part of the travel or it may be the conditions we traveled in. But we've got to try to figure out how we want to do these road trips in the future."
St. Edward's concentrated on limiting OC's top scorer, Katy O'Steen, and was effective in doing so, holding her to six points on 1-of-6 shooting. Roz Hamilton scored a career-high 19 points and the Lady Eagles shot a respectable 9-of-21 (42.9 percent) from 3-point range, but they couldn't match the Hilltoppers, who hit 11-of-17 from behind the arc.
"Our execution was bad on both ends," Findley said. "We weren't getting the ball where we wanted it on offense and when we got it inside to Katy, they were triple-teaming her and she was not getting the ball back out where we can get open looks from the outside, either. You've got to credit them. They play a good sagging man-to-man help defense in there."
Stephanie Dekkers went 4-of-7 from 3-point range and recorded a double-double with 14 points and 12 assists for St. Edward's, while Kiel hit 3-of-4 and Kelsee Barr went 2-of-3 from long range.
"They were shooting lights-out," Findley said. "As a team, they have not shot that way this year. They were having a good night and that means we've got to turn it up defensively and we weren't able to match that."
OC jumped to a quick 14-6 lead in the first 4½ minutes, as Hamilton hit two of her three 3-pointers en route to a 15-point first-half effort. The lead went back and forth before Kiel's basket at the halftime buzzer put the Hilltoppers up 39-37.
Logan McKee hit two 3-pointers in the first five minutes of the second half and her second one gave OC a 44-43 lead with 15:10 left. Another 3-pointer, by Kaitlyn Morris, pulled the Lady Eagles within 48-47 with 14:07 left, but OC didn't record another field goal until McKee scored on a put-back with 4:03 left. In between, St. Edward's went on a 22-7 run.
The Hilltoppers led by as many as 16 points in the final minutes. St. Edward's outrebounded OC 35-25.
McKee scored 11 points and Sydney Hill had 10 for the Lady Eagles. Erika Rousculp added 11 points for the Hilltoppers on 5-of-6 shooting.
OC will be off until Jan. 24, when the Lady Eagles host Texas A&M International.

6th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI)
The Life and Times of HIV
New Infections Continue While Super Strains of HIV Grow
February 1999
The Guest That Wouldn't Leave
Just how much do you know about the life of this small virus that lives inside your body? I have a friend who looks at HIV as a long-term unwelcome in-law who has come to visit and just won't leave. The only problem, of course, is that this guest is slowly and methodically destroying the house-ripping out the drywall, exposing the studs, and cutting into them so that eventually the house will fall. Gloomy analogy, but what does HIV really do to the body, if left alone, untouched by drugs in the body?
A recent study of 270 people examined just this. The first finding of the study was that in the first 3 years, the viral load in the blood of most of these participants remained stable. The virus just moved in looked around but didn't go crazy and start reproducing like mad. However, it did slowly start to eat away at the immune system, killing off an average of 100 CD4 cells each year.
Of course, things are never quite that simple. People with higher viral loads ended up losing CD4 cells much more quickly, thus making viral load a strong predictor of how quickly someone will progress to AIDS. One way to look at this is the example used at the 11th World AIDS Conference: AIDS is like a train wreck waiting to happen. Imagine a train on a track heading for a cliff. The train is HIV infection, the viral load is the speed of the train, and the CD4 count is the distance to the site of the accident -- another gloomy analogy.
HIV: A Discriminating Virus
Viral load is a very important factor and predictor of health, but viral load, as well as CD4 counts, seem to be age-, race- and gender-dependent. Recent studies now show that viral load in women is much less than in men. This can have a major impact on how we view the success or failure of a therapy and predicting when to switch drugs. One study showed that on average women have about 20 percent less virus in the blood than men. This same study also showed that women, on average, have fewer CD4 cells than men.
Race also came into play when looking at viral load. People of color had viral loads about 32 percent lower than Caucasians. And older people had higher viral loads than their younger counterparts. So, depending on the age, gender, and race of the "host," the HIV virus can act and reproduce very differently.
If a man and a woman had the same 10,000 viral load, the woman would, according to this study, be more likely to progress to AIDS than the man. That is, she would have a risk of progression similar to a man with a viral load of 20,000 twice as high, or 20,000.
New HIV Infections: It Just Keeps Going and Going
Session 65 at the 6th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) looked at HAART and asked the question: Is the therapy having an effect on the number of new HIV infections occurring? The sad but true answer, according to Jonathan Kaplan of the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, is No.
A model has been developed, that, although it has some definite flaws, explains why new infections continue at a steady rate. The model says that of the 750,000 people with HIV in the United States, 560,000 were infected sexually. (The flaw here is that the IV drug users that make up the difference are also having sex, something the researcher has left out). Of these 560,000 only half are actually getting care. The presenter believed that the other 280,000 people either don't know they are infected, or know but cannot, or do not, access services. These people continue to spread HIV at higher rates than those in care.
The theory is that those getting care are causing some new infections, but not as many, because they have lower viral loads and probably have been educated about safe sex practices. The conclusion is that testing, counseling, and early access to treatment for all people with HIV is the only way to slow new infections.
There are several other studies showing that new infections are continuing to occur at steady rates. One of these was conducted in San Francisco between 1996 and 1998. From January of 1996 to January of 1998 there was no significant change in the number of new infections that occurred in that city. This study is consistent with national numbers showing that new infections are occurring in a steady and continuous way with no significant decline in the past few years.
Super Strains -- Resistant Virus is Spreading
A few studies at this year's CROI focused on the increasing problem of spreading of resistant HIV. Some people who are just testing positive to the virus are already resistant to some drugs and in some cases to one or more classes of drugs, leaving them with few if any drug options.
One study conducted by a Veterans Administration hospital examined 114 newly infected people from major metropolitan areas across the United States. The study found that overall, 21 percent of those studied had some type of resistance to one or more of the three major classes of drugs.
As drug resistant viruses continue to spread, it is very important for those who test positive to get a genotypic or phenotypic test done prior to starting therapy to see if there is any drug resistance. These are new tests, often expensive, and complicated to interpret. Some insurance may cover these tests, but others won't. It is best to work closely with your provider and have them speak or write to the insurance company to explain why the test is needed and important. Get a good, experienced, health care provider to run and interpret these tests for you, or they will not be worth your time or money.

I'm finally getting back into car audio. I'm starting out on about a $1200 system.
Entry Level
Head Unit: Alpine 147B
Cross Over: Kicker Front Row
Sub Amp: Brutus BRX1100.1Mono Block
Mid Amp: Brutus BRX320.4 4 channel
Highs Amp: Brutus BRX160.2 2 channel
Sub Woofers: 2 Brutus BRZ15D4
Mid Range: 2 ATL5768CX(5"x7"); 2 HF8SQ-i4 (8" square drivers)
Tweeters: Pyramid TW47 (2" super tweeters)
What I would like to discuss is about the subwoofers; The Hifonics Brutus BRZ15D4 Subwoofers.
I recently ordered and received 2 of these subs. I haven't installed them yet. The T/S parameters provided by the manufacturer just doesn't seem realistic. I'm not actually looking for the correct T/S parameters, I just want to know if anyone else has owned a pair (one).
If there is anyone that had any dealings with these subs, I'm looking for some feed back. I know, I know, these are budget subs, but before I begin my build for these subs I would like to know about there performance. Are they any good, are they bad, will they do, can they hit high spl's or can they hit low sq. Please if you are going to bash these subs, don't reply unless its realistic. But any replies would be appreciated.

Bloomfield Twp. >> Earlier this month, crews began repaving the roads in the Echo Park subdivision in Bloomfield Township after a special assessment district, or SAD, was established — one of the first SAD road projects for the township.
Longtime resident Colleen Burcar, who is subdivision board treasurer, said this project and complex issue has divided this once unified neighborhood.
Burcar said the Oakland County road commission has been doing SAD projects for about 30 years, but the township just began doing them. She is unhappy with the way the township has been conducting them, calling them "loose" and "informal."
Craig Bryson, spokesman for the Road Commission for Oakland County, said that the township is completely capable of doing SADs themselves and it actually has benefits above the road commission doing them.
"It's a complex process, it's a legal process," Bryson said. "... Other townships are able to do it."
Bryson said a township operates under a different law than the road commission. He said the township is able to do a SAD under a board resolution, rather than a neighborhood vote.
"They don't legally need that to proceed," Bryson said of the election.
Director of Township Engineering and Environmental Services Wayne Domine said the township doesn't intervene like this unless it was "detrimental to public health," but certainly not roads.
Additionally, the township is able to spread the cost out over a larger time period, whereas the road commission can only do it over 10 years.
Domine said Bloomfield Township does not have an ordinance or resolution about SAD projects.
One guideline for special assessment districts that the Bloomfield Township website does provide residents with is an outline of how petitions work. One point mentioned is that "the petition must be presented to all property owners in the district."
That never happened, Burcar said, which made their project unfair from the beginning. She said one subdivision resident circulated a petition, saying it had the support of the subdivision homeowners association, which was not the case. It would be irrelevant, as the association does not need to approve a petition beforehand.
However, Domine said that this does not need to happen legally. The so-called "rules" posted on the Bloomfield Township website are actually just proposed guidelines that Domine said he wrote up himself.
"It's not required (to show everyone)," Domine said. "It's recommended, it's always recommended to be up front with everyone — that's just common sense. There's no law."
Former Echo Park board member Wim van Acker said he also never saw the petition until it was approved. He is not opposed to taking care of the roads, but he feels this project was rushed through, with poor timing for construction.
"You could easily wait a couple of months and then the road construction companies won't be as busy (and costly)," van Acker said. "... I also don't think it's good to do a project like this in the midst of the summer … when people want to enjoy their homes and be outside."
The petition language was also problematic, Burcar said, since it had been different across the special assessment districts in Bloomfield Township. For example, the Echo Park petition did not state that the neighborhood could reconsider and recirculate a new petition if the bids exceeded more than 10 percent more than the cost petition.
The bids in Echo Park came in 20.4 percent higher and no new petition was circulated. Domine said that the president of the HOA said they would contribute to the assessment using funds from Echo Park treasury.
Burcar said she doesn't know where that money is coming from, a total of $46,000.
Domine said: "There's nothing illegal about that. That was done a few years ago, not through one of our SAD projects — but through a county SAD project."
Each homeowner would pay about $10,000 toward the project, with 51 properties affected.
A petition must have a 51 percent vote of approval, which is counted by total road frontage, to pass. However, Burcar points out this creates divided neighborhoods.
To solve this problem, other local governments have made that percentage higher.
"The township can set whatever they want," Burcar said. "To instill good camaraderie, friendship, mutual respect — but they didn't do it. They didn't want to do it."
Domine said this is true, but he thinks making stricter rules would cause for less projects to be approved.
"There's going to be less opportunity to get these roads done," he said.
Burcar said: "I was not opposed (to the project) if everyone agreed to the proposal. That's fine, I'll pay my $10,000. My issue is that we have neighbors that never saw the petition, including myself, though I have since seen the petition."
Even though Burcar was not in opposition of the project, she did not believe the roads in Echo Park were bad at all.
Echo Park is just one of several subdivisions that are finding issues with special assessment districts. Nearby Caroline Hills and Bloomfield Village have also seen issues, though Bloomfield Village voted down their road project.
Now that the project is underway in Echo Park, property owners face even more problems with paying the assessment — which puts a lien on the individual homeowner and does not stay with the home itself. These problems exist across the state, which is why Rep. Mike McCready,R-Bloomfield Hills, worked with Leo Savoie and sponsored House Bill 5202.
"I was approached by Leo Savoie, the Bloomfield Township supervisor, about problems they were having in neighborhoods," McCready said.
The issues were mostly related to if people move and sell their homes, they have to pay off the assessment because it stays with the homeowner. This legislation would make it a tax, so when someone sells their home, the new homeowner would take over responsibility.
McCready said there are a few bugs to be worked out, but he hopes it will happen soon. This will not help Echo Park, but future special assessment districts.

What ways? The more similar domestic partnership is to marriage, the stronger the argument that it violates the Wisconsin constitution:
[Wisconsin Family Action] filed a petition for original action with the Wisconsin Supreme Court, asking the Court to declare the domestic partner registry Gov. Jim Doyle authored in the 2010-11 state budget unconstitutional and to issue a permanent injunction against it....Here's Art. XIII, sec. 13 of the Wisconsin Constitution:
Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized in this state.It's all about "substantially." Proponents of the new law want it to be as substantial as it can be without being substantial within the meaning of the constitution. Similar, but not that similar.
Meanwhile, the state will accept your $115 fee for... almost nothing... or nothing at all if it's is too much not nothing and therefore unconstitutional.

The Football Association and the Ferdinand brothers led a wave of angry reaction to UEFA's announcement of Serbia being fined 80,000 euros (£65,000) and ordered to play a match behind closed doors following racist chanting and violence towards England's Under-21 players.
FA general secretary Alex Horne said the sanctions did not send a "strong enough message" about racism, and that the governing body will appeal against two-match and one-match bans for Steven Caulker and Tom Ince respectively.
Rio and Anton Ferdinand also criticised the sanctions on Twitter contrasting it with a 100,000 euro and one-match ban handed to former Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner for displaying a betting firm's logo on his underpants during Euro 2012. Horne said: "We are disappointed with the sanctions levied by UEFA with regards to the racist behaviour displayed towards England's players."

I took TK in for his last round of shots today and Dr. Lee noticed that he's missing hair in spots. He has idiopathic alopecia, ie., he's tearing his hair out. I haven't noticed, quite honestly, b/c he lives in the garage b/c of his FIV. So Dr. Lee couldn't determine if it's due to allergies or the FIV b/c he's also sneezing hard and in rapid fire. So Dr. Lee gave him a Depo shot, which should help for at least 30 days, but if he starts doing it again, then I'll have to keep him on monthly Depo shots. He has skin like rhinoceros hide. Dr. Lee had difficulty inserting the needle. I sure don't relish a monthly trip to the vet, that's for sure, but I'll do it if I have to. I now need to apply his flea stuff and then he can go back outside if he wants to. I had a kitty door installed in the garage but hopefully, he'll want to stay close to home. I don't like my cats being outdoors but I have no choice.
So...has anyone else dealt w/a cat obsessively tearing out his hair?

I know what shake in the air looks like. commented Jan 12, 2013 by marissa275 Ahhhh yes you see you have got what is known as a **critical capture**. It's a 1/16 chance of happening. At this time, the pokeball only shakes once. It gives you an easier time catching as it only has to shake one time to catch. You can still fail to catch if it doesn't shake. commented Jan 12, 2013 by Generekt edited Jun 25, 2013 by trachy You sure it wasn't just bouncing?? commented Jan 12, 2013 by 5th of November Did you read the question?? "I`m confused,my ultra ball jumped!". Your answer has nothing to do with that. She has already established that it was not a Critcal Capture. commented Jan 12, 2013 by 5th of November It is critical capture!i have already catch a poke like that!sorry ,but it is :-D commented Jan 12, 2013 by DarkStar Sorry, but you are wrong. If she knows what a CritCap is and she is still confused, it cannot be that. commented Jan 17, 2013 by 5th of November Since this question still isn't yet answered since the person asking the question says no to every single answer is said, I might as well answer it myself. What I think might of happened to your Ultra Ball is that it was a Critical Capture. Since you denied that on MK 42's answer i'm thinking that you were not looking at it that clearly and must of thought it jumped then made a Critical Capture. I'm pretty sure of that because a jumping Pokeball is not reported to any other person i'm sure that's it. commented Jun 25, 2013 by Kiovei edited Jun 25, 2013 by trachy It's still unanswered :3 commented Jun 26, 2013 by Danano How many times did it bounce? commented Jun 26, 2013 by Enderdragon Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 1 vote Okay, I'm gonna answer this. xD If I get this wrong, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to get this over with -.-' A critical capture is where you throw a PokeBall in battle, and before it drops down to the ground, it flashes white and it shakes a little. How this effects the capture is that it will not take four shakes in order to capture, but only two! This doubles your chances of catching the Pokemon. Just like critical hits. If it was not a critical capture, and the capture wasn't affecting the Pokemon in anyway (e.g., it's not glitched) then I really wouldn't worry about it. It may have been your imagination that the capture looked a little peculiar than it would have normally been. Hope I helped. :) answered Jun 26, 2013 by !'•-Indigo-•'!

Lacey has left us for the Rainbow Bridge. She was PTS this afternoon.:( Her back legs just didn't have anything left in them. She was the first furkid I ever had to have PTS who wasn't 'sick'. As some of you may remember, she had surgeries on both of her back knees when she was 4 and 5. They held up a long time until recent years, continuing to get weaker.
I know in my heart she's at the Bridge with her best buddy Mandy. I can see them running and playing together. Lacey's legs are new again and Mandy no longer has a bad heart. This brings me peace.
The house won't be the same without her after 10 years of her ruling the roost. She kept all the 'young uns' in line. Have fun with Mandy at the Bridge Lacey. You and your beautiful brown eyes will be sadly missed. :(

Manager Walt Weiss stared out at the mound, the eighth-inning tsunami in his belly belying his expressionless face.
Of all things that had gone wrong on this trip -- taking a doughnut in Canada, muzzled by a pair of aces in D.C. -- this would have been the nadir.
"I try not to show much emotion, but you just know that deep down you have to put this game away," Weiss said. "Wins are precious in this league. When get out to a lead like that . . ."
You can't squander a seven-run advantage on the road and pretend the view in the mirror reflects a contender. Rex Brothers, after a hiccup and a scream into his glove, secured the Rockies' nervy 7-6 win over the Nationals on Sunday.
There were few fingernails left in the dugout, but consecutive victories moved the Rockies (39-38) back above .500 and continued to enforce the players' view of relevancy.
"We are a playoff team. I have thought that since spring training," reliever Matt Belisle said. "There is a lot of baseball to be played. But we compete every day."
Good teams find a way to duct tape problems in the moment, before an emergency call-up or trade.
Sunday, Brothers saved De La Rosa's win and rescued Belisle, whose troubling slump continued.
It marked the first time this season Weiss asked a closer to log a four-out save, reflecting the urgency, if not the off day Monday.
"It's not something I am going to look to do. But I had made up my mind that if they got (to that spot in the order), I was going to get Rex," Weiss said. "He was well-rested."
Jhonatan Solano, pinch-hitting for Roger Bernadina, lined a two-run double to left-center, ruining Belisle's line and leaving the outcome wobbling on the high wire. Brothers regrouped, striking out Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond. Brothers yelled as he left the mound.
"It was a lot of things. I was mad because I knew I didn't execute my pitch (to Solano). I had to get rid of the emotion somehow," said Brothers, who hasn't allowed a run in 31 consecutive appearances. "I don't like to show it. But this was a team win, a testament to the grit of this club."
It doesn't hurt that De La Rosa is talented and clear of the mental block that understandably slowed his recovery from elbow surgery. The left-hander worked six strong innings before succumbing to the heat, but not superstition. The Rockies improved to 11-5 in his starts, and they were victorious without wearing the spring training uniform that made a cameo Saturday.
"It wasn't the jerseys. It was us who won," explained De La Rosa. "We are a good team."
The Rockies also are much better with a lead. They have won both games on this trip when scoring first. Michael Cuddyer delivered again Sunday, his solo homer foreshadowing Ross Detwiler's miserable day for the Nationals.
Cuddyer has reached base in a club-record 40 straight games and owns a 21-game hitting streak, two shy of Dante Bichette's franchise mark. The Rockies have revealed fragility on several occasions, but it has not defined their season. This is the kind of game they would have lost last year.
Instead, music played in the clubhouse, the soundtrack of survival.
"It would have hurt," Belisle said. "But it didn't."
21 Consecutive games with a hit for Michael Cuddyer, two shy of Dante Bichette's franchise record. Cuddyer has reached base in a team-record 40 consecutive games.

It took Rocky Roads nearly 1.5 years to restore this RUST-FREE California Bronco to this level. In 2013, we added a six point powder coated family roll cage and added high back rear seat belts. This truck will be featured in the US Mag catalog in 2014.
The original 'matching number' rebuilt 302 engine was rebuilt in 2012. We had it balanced & blueprinted, and we received a 1 year 12K mile warranty when the engine was installed last year. Since then, less than 500 test miles have been put on this vehicle so it's pretty dialed in. The transmission, t/case, steering & braking systems were all rebuilt. The engine bay was pressure washed, prepped and the frame has been prepped & refinished.
Top-of-the-line engine components were installed including new motor mounts, electronic ignition, new high volume water pump, timing chain & timing cover, aluminum radiator, new fuel pump, aluminum ribbed valve covers, harmonic balancer, 130 amp alternator, new voltage regulator, starter, solenoid, brand new Centek wiring harness, polished tilt steering column, plus a new LeCarra steering wheel & a new Vintage A/C system with under dash vents.
The original C-4 transmission has been rebuilt and it got a new torque converter & flex plate. Dana 20 T/case in great working condition, too. It also got a set of transmission mounts & t/case mounts. It has all new brake lines, FORD disc brakes in front, new Wilwood 4 piston caliper rear disc brakes, a big-bearing Ford 9" rear end with all new hard & soft brake lines. A new ignition switch, radiator overflow bottle & wiper bottle were recently installed. It came from the factory with a Dana 44 front axle with limited slip & a Ford 9" open rear diff.
The 4 month bodywork & two-stage $7500 paint job has been completed back to it's original Sequoia Brown color, new RR Cowl Induction fiberglass hood, new hinges & pins, matching front & rear fender flares, new windshield & seal, under-dash insulation kit & stainless steel mounting hardware. It has a match painted Proto-Fab Rock Solid bumper in front, and a Proto-Fab tubular rear bumper with swing out tire carrier in back. A Warn 8000lb winch has also just been installed. A new black powder coated six point family roll cage was also added, along with new padding & wrapping, new high back front & rear seat belts & new grade 8 hardware. It also has a new wiper motor cover & new wiper arms and blades.
New lights, lenses, reflectors, chrome door mirrors, chrome body moldings, chrome grill trim, new door hinges, window anti-rattle kit, inner window tracks, window rollers, inner door cups, door strikers, outer door handles, side marker light bezels, chrome headlight rings, chrome side steps, 23 gallon Northwest Metal Products fuel tank, 1/8" steel skid plate for fuel tank, new black soft top installed, black armrests, black locking center console, dual drink holders and a Tuffy locking glove box have all been installed.
The original front seats have been restored in black vinyl & new retractable shoulder seat belts have been added in front, with new lap belts in back. New Rocky Roads black pleaded vinyl door panels, rear side panels, and a tailgate panel, plus new black snap-in carpet mats & shifter cover have been added. Then, the suspension, axles & frame were blacked out, and the entire under-body was undercoated with 3M Body Schutz undercoating.
It has a 3.5" suspension lift with Rancho 9000 nine-way adjustable shocks. This truck also received a new 'quiet' aluminum dual exhaust system, plus we just welded up new rear shock mounts to work with the extended brake lines & rear disc brake set up, and some extended e-brake cables were installed. The A/C system has been charged, and is blowing cold.
We just completed some major sound system upgrades. We just installed a New Alpine 600 Watt stackable PDX-6 sub woofer amplifier, a PDX-4 amp for the front speakers, an Alpine 10" woofer, a custom fiberglass woofer console that adds 1.5" of clearence below the seat, which hides under the rear seat. A new 12" black Tuffy locking rear console, new Alpine 6x9 speakers in the rear side panels, plus a new dual amp mounting kit have also being installed. Seperately, a brand new set of HID headlamps have just been installed. This truck has the same exact sound system & lighting that we install on all of our $100K plus Frame-Off restorations!
The BEST steering shop in this industry just upgraded the steering on this build. Tom Lee of 'Lee Manufacturing' in Sun Valley just had this truck for two weeks, they adjusted the caster & camber by cutting & angling the radius arms... and rebuilt the original steering box & added a quick ratio 3.2 turn gear, now this truck steers better than 98% of the Early Broncos we've restored! This work completes the upgraded steering system! Has current 2014 registration. We just installed a set of 17x9" black Fuel wheels and a set of BFG LT305 65R17 tires. We also just installed a new Hydro-Boost brake system.

The "Is your pet your your best friend?" poll has been around for months (it almost seems like years) and the lack of change makes the site seem a bit stale. If this is because of a lack of new poll ideas, I'm wondering if either the poll should be completely removed, or if you're not getting enough email suggestions for new polls, maybe use the forum (even this thread) as a place for people to suggest additional poll topics.
To start the ball rolling, here are a few poll ideas of mine:
Did you get your pet from a shelter/rescue group? Yes|No|Some of them
Did expected lifespan play a role in deciding on what kind of pet to get? Yes|No|Partially
Over time, has your pet become more or less picky in the foods they like? More|Less|About the same
Feel free to comment on my suggestions and/or come up with ones of your own.
I hope this starts to help you come up with new poll questions!
(Karen, if the lack of new polls has nothing to do with the above, and you'd rather not have a discussion or new poll suggestions here, feel free to delete this thread. It won't bother me, the site is yours and I appreciate it with or without the polls.)

Gents, as many of you saw already from Chris Anders' announcement, the event "In Hooker's Rear" is going on the first weekend on April. The event website can be found at:http://www.hookersrear.com/Home_Page.html . I am raising a Federal Campaigner Battalion for the event, portraying the 1st Battalion, 17th United States Infantry. We are looking for some good guys who are up to progressive level and want to have a great experience, please contact these gents:
Company A: Sam Lowe firstname.lastname@example.com
Company G: Doug Lyons firstname.lastname@example.com
This event is a tactical event that will use far more realistic objectives than most tacticals. To that end, we will be using period tactics exclusively throughout the weekend, giving everyone a stimulating yet historical experience. We will be doing proper guard mount, pickets, and drill during the weekend as well.
The 17th US, who we will be portraying, was a New Army regiment, formed in Maine during 1861-1862. It was unique in that its commander hired men to go to Canada and recruit British soldiers from their Guards and Rifle regiments that were sent to America during the Trent affair to be their NCOs, consequently giving the regiment an outstanding level of drill and elan. It should be a great experience and I truly hope you can come out and join us. This will be a great chance to shake off some rust, get a unique experience, and learn about the history of a little remembered unit.

Legislators still could not reach a final compromise Friday on a medical malpractice bill.
The biggest points of disagreement were over where and how malpractice lawsuits may be filed.
The lead house negotiator, Rep. Percy Watson of Hattiesburg, said senators are trying to end massive lawsuits that involve hundreds -- or even thousands -- of plaintiffs.
Watson said he doesn't want to end those lawsuits because he doesn't want to limit people's rights in court.
Negotiators will be back at the capitol Saturday afternoon.
Other members of the House and Senate have gone home for a short weekend and will return to Jackson on Sunday.
The latest Senate offer included a $500,000 cap on pain-and-suffering damage awards in medical malpractice lawsuits. The house has offered a $600,000 cap.
Once legislators agree on a plan of how to address the growing number of medical malpractice lawsuits in Mississippi, lawmakers are expected to turn their attention to other, more general proposed reforms to the civil justice system, most commonly known as tort reform.
One of the issues expected to be addressed at that time would affect nursing homes.
Over the last few months nursing home officials in Mississippi have been rallying for something to be done about the continued rising costs of liability insurance.
Meridian Community Living Center is among the centers seeking some changes.
"The staff's in danger of losing their jobs if we can't keep the doors open and without insurance you can't do that," said Pam Tolleson,
center administrator.
In fact, officials with Meridian Community Living Center tell us that the costs of liability insurance had become so high, that just this year the facility's parent company had to join other nursing facilities in becoming partially, self-insured.
Meanwhile, with lawmakers now debating one portion of the ongoing
"tort reform" issue, Tollisen said officials from the Mississippi Health Association have released a statement saying that ultimately it appears things will go in favor of healthcare providers.
Members of the Mississippi Trial Lawyers Association still say tort reform is not needed and instead the real problem is what they call
quote -- "the insurance industry's greed."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Girls Basketball: Minster holds DSJ to 20 points in MAC win
MINSTER — The Minster Wildcats hosted the Delphos St. John's Blue Jays in a Midwest Athletic Conference matchup Thursday night. Minster came out strong defensively in the first half and held the Blue Jays to seven first half points.
Minster stepped up the defensive pressure and shots started to fall for the home team as they captured a 31-20 victory.
Delphos St. John's at Minster Girls Basketball Photos:
"Both teams like to play defense and it was a good defensive effort," Minster coach Nann Stechschulte said. "In terms of just setting the tempo of the game it was sluggish right off the bat."
The Wildcats (8-5, 3-2 MAC) took a slim 6-2 advantage after the first quarter as the Blue Jays made just one field goal in the first eight minutes of action.
The home team then took an 11-2 lead with a steal and layup from Logan Arnold at the 6:06 mark of the second quarter.
The Lady Wildcats defense forced the Blue Jays to 11 first half turnovers while Minster had nine miscues.
St. John's (6-5, 1-3) came out the third quarter scoring two back-to-back buckets from Katie Vorst and came within two, 11-13. Minster's Claire Fischer found teammate Kayla Richard for a Wildcats score, to take a 19-13 advantage.
Richard put her team ahead, 21-13 with her layup and then two free throws from Sara Dahlinghaus gave Minster a 23-14 lead after three quarters of action.
A long triple from Alexis Wuebker at the start of the fourth quarter gave the Wildcats a 28-16 lead and Bridget Geiger's bucket extended the home team's lead, 31-16.
"I went nine deep right off the bat and I think we wore them down a little bit in the third quarter," Stechschulte said. "I know (Jessica) Recker does a big percentage of the ball handling and we were trying to keep her contained."
Geiger had eight points, eight rebounds and two blocks. Richard had eight points, three rebounds and two steals.

JAROMIR JAGR wanted to make one thing clear.
Despite the appearance of an overinflated price tag - when he signed with the Flyers yesterday for $3.3 million after Pittsburgh withdrew a $2 million offer - Jagr didn't come to Philadelphia for the money.
"There were a lot more teams with a higher offer than Philadelphia," Jagr said in a candid conference call with reporters on Saturday.
His plan, instead, seems to be a well-calculated one.
Jagr liked that the Flyers made a "great move with the goalies." He knew that their defense was solid from talking on the phone with Chris Pronger. He liked that they are "good offensively."
Most of all, though, Jagr examined the Flyers' roster enough to know that he could play alongside centers Danny Briere and Claude Giroux, who are both right-handed.
Jagr wants to be the Flyers' solution to their anemic power play, which finished 19th out of 30 teams last season. Jagr has 181 power play goals and 345 power play assists in his storied career, which last left him 9th all-time on the NHL points list. He is within striking distance this season of Joe Sakic for the 8th spot.
"I like to play power play on the right side, and I think because they're right-handed, they like to play on the other side," Jagr said. "I think it would be a problem if I would play in Pittsburgh with [Sidney] Crosby or [Evgeni] Malkin, left handed, and have to play on the other side, when I've played all my life on the right side. I don't think I would be able to play there. Or if I go to Detroit, with [Pavel] Datsyuk and [Henrik] Zetterberg, they're left-handed and they play on the boards where I used to play at."
For that, Jagr didn't seem worried about damaging the relationship he had with Penguins owner and former teammate Mario Lemieux, despite reports that he had promised Lemieux to play in Pittsburgh.
Jagr's agent, former Flyers defenseman Petr Svoboda, even went as far as saying early on Friday morning that his client's "heart belonged in Pittsburgh."
Both Detroit and Pittsburgh dropped their offers early on Friday when they sensed there was another team in the mix.
"I didn't promise anybody anything, that I was going back. The Penguins seemed like I did something wrong or something bad, and I don't think I did something bad. If they feel like that, I cannot change their minds. I was a free agent, and I had my chance to pick wherever I think is best for me. I have the option to pick.
"If I hurt somebody, I apologize, I didn't mean it, but this is my life and I want to make the choice."
Loyalty doesn't seem to be an issue. Jagr said his reason for not returning to the NHL during the past three years was to honor his three-year contract with Avangard Omsk of Russia's Kontinental Hockey League. He said NHL teams tried to lure him back every summer.
He even apologized in advance, saying he could answer questions better in his native Czech tongue or even Russian, having seldom used English in the last three years.
"I just made the decision and stayed with it," Jagr said. "That's what I promised them. Three years ago with the free agency, we couldn't make any deals with [Rangers GM] Glen Sather. So like I promised, I signed with Avangard Omsk. But right after I signed, there were very good offers from the NHL. But I told myself I'm not going to look back, because I already did what I did. It was kind of tough to leave, because then I saw there was more interest from the NHL, but I had already made the promise.
"I know for some people it might be just words, but for me, I'm very religious, I know it would bite me a little later. I know that. That's the way the word works."
Jagr, 39, answered simply when asked about his goal for next season, in which he specifically asked for a one-year deal in case he wasn't thrilled with his destination. He isn't concerned about the pressure to perform in Philadelphia. He isn't worried about damaging his own reputation as a star player who played too long.
Jagr said he still playing thanks to the hard working guys like Rick Tocchet, Paul Coffey and Kevin Stevens whom he watched as a 20-something in Pittsburgh.
"If I play bad and people criticize me, that's fine," Jagr said. "If the things were only about myself, I'm not worried about it."
Instead, Jagr said he didn't want fans to "criticize the people who brought me to Philadelphia." Jagr doesn't want to "let somebody down" who believed in him.
"I have only one goal, and that's making people happy," Jagr said. "To make them happy, to those people who believe I can be good. That's my goal. If I make them happy, I'll be happy."
Suffice to say, if Jagr can perform anywhere close to the point-per-game player we saw as recently as last year in Russia, all sides will be happy. Except Pittsburgh.
"There's no guarantees," Jagr said. "I could easily stay in Russia, make a lot more money and play 60 games. I wanted to try it. I have the feeling."
